Floral therapy - Kukkaterapiaa

It's so grey and dreary outside that I needed to make a floral card to cheer myself up. The stamp I used is Floral Forest Backdrop by Stamping Bella and I coloured the image with my Copic markers. I heat embossed the sentiment ('For you' in Finnish) on a strip of dark brown cardstock which I embellished with a simple bow. I matted the panel first onto dark brown cardstock and then onto pink and added some clear sequins as embellishments.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* CAS(E) This Sketch!: #348
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #367 - Make Your Mark

Ulkona on niin ankeaa ja harmaata, että päätin piristää itseäni tekemällä kukkakortin. Käytin tähän Stamping Bellan Floral Forest Backdrop -leimaa, väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla. Tekstin embossasin ja koristelin tekstipalkin pienellä rusetilla. Sitten vain kerrostin paneelin kartongeille ja lisäsin muutaman kirkkaan paljetin. 

Penny Black First Snow: Heap of Happy

I made this card using a new stamp from the new Penny Black release First Snow. The stamp is called Heap of Happy. I coloured the image with my Copic markers and fussy cut it out. I then die cut a circle frame using the Stitched Circles die set by Penny Black. For the background, I used some patterned paper from the paper pad Wintertime. After I had attached all the elements on my card base, I stamped my sentiment from the new sentiment set Winter Chill and added some red sequins to embellish the card.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: November - Anything Goes
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #148 - Home Sweet Home inspiration photo (I took my inspiration from the circular shape of the wreath, the colours, and the sentiment on the wall)

All stamps, dies and patterned paper are by Penny Black and available in their online store:
* Heap of Happy (30-640)
* Winter Chill (30-627)
* Stitched Circles (51-551)
* Wintertime (80-012)

Tällainen kortti syntyi uudella Penny Black -leimalla nimeltään Heap of Happy. Väritin sen Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti. Ympyräkehyksen stanssasin Stitched Circles -setin stansseilla ja taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia Wintertime-paperikosta. Tekstileima on Winter Chill -setistä. Kaikki käytetyt leimat, stanssit ja paperit ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Penny Black First Snow: Bundled Buddies

This little cutie was such fun to colour, I think she looks so sweet with her little friend. The stamp I used for this is from the new Penny Black release, First Snow, and it is called Bundled Buddies. I stamped it onto some Copic friendly cardstock, coloured it with my Copics and die cut the panel with Penny Black's Stitched Nested Frames die. The sentiment comes from the new sentiment set Winter Chill. For the background, I used patterned papers from Wintertime paper pad. I embellished the card with a snowflake die cut with Polar Pair die and added a sticky back pearl to it.

Christmas Wreath - Joulukranssi

I made a quick little Christmas card with Natural Beauties set by Paper Smooches. I know it's not really a Christmas stamp set but I thought this little wreath with added pinecones and berries would make a lovely Christmas wreath. I coloured the images with my Copics and die cut them out. I also die cut the frame with Paper Smooches' Fused Frame die. The sentiment is by Penny Black, this one was dainty enough to fit inside the frame. I matted the white linen textured panel onto some dark brown cardstock and attached everything in place before embellishing the card with some clear sequins.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Paper Smooches: November - Anything Goes
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge # 148 - Home Sweet Home inspiration photo (I took the wreath as my inspiration)

Tein joulukortin Paper Smoochesin Natural Beauties -setin leimoilla. Väritin leimakuvat Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Kehyksen stanssasin Paper Smoochesin Fused Frame -stanssilla, tekstileima taas on Penny Blackia. Kerrostin valkoisen paneelin tummanruskealle kartongille, kiinnitin kaikki paikalleen ja koristelin lopuksi vielä paljeteilla.

Penny Black First Snow: Festive Frolic

I love penguins and I think these ones from Penny Black are so sweet! They're from the stamp set Festive Frolic, I coloured them with my Copics and die cut them out with the matching dies. The snow globe is from the set Cozy Nigts, I coloured it with my Copics as well and die cut it out with its matching die. The sentiment is from Wintry Whites set and it fits perfectly to the little plaque on the snow globe. To decorate the inside of the globe, I die cut some frosty grass with Garden Edgers die and added snowflakes, one is stamped with a stamp from Festive Frolic set and two are debossed with a die that comes with the Snowflake Frame die. I also added a rhinestone to each of the snowflake and tied a bit of baker's twine into a bow to decorate the snow globe. For the background, I used some patterned paper from the paper pad Wintertime and matted it onto some kraft cardstock before attaching it to my card base.

Penny Black First Snow: Festive Frolic

I think this cuddly polar bear is just the cutest ever! It's from the new Penny Black stamp set called Festive Frolic. I stamped it onto X-Press It blending card, coloured it with Copic markers and die cut it with the matching die Festive Frolic Cut Out. For the background I used the Snowflake Frame die (which I love!!), I die cut it once out of cream cardstock and then the second time out of green cardstock so that I could get that little "frame in a frame" in green. I also used some patterned paper from the paper pad Wintertime. The sentiment I used is from the set Thrill of Hope, I heat embossed it onto a strip of vellum.

This month we're being sponsored by Top Flight Stamps who are kindly giving our winner an e-gift card for $25.
