On your birthday - Syntymäpäivänäsi

I love this floral stamp by Ellen Hutson, it's called Mondo Sakura. I coloured it with my Copics. I wanted to keep the card clean and simple to highlight the gorgeous stamp so I simply masked the three edges of my cardbase and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Bundled Sage onto it so that it fades towards the bottom of the card. Then I adhered the stamped image onto it, heat embossed my sentiment (it says 'On your birthday') on a strip of black cardstock and adhered it in place and embellished the card with some pale pink enamel dots. 

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

* Just Add Ink: Challenge #572 - Just Add Inspiration (I was inspired by the pink flowers against the green)

* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC324 - All About Occasions

Tämä Ellen Hutsonin Mondo Sakura -leima on niin ihana, että halusin pitää muun kortin simppelinä niin, että leimakuva korostuu. Leimakuva on väritetty Copiceilla ja taustalle maskasin suorakulmion kolme reunaa ja mustetin alueen Distress Oxide -musteen sävyllä Bundled Sage niin, että väri haalenee pohjaa kohti. Tekstileiman embossasin mustalle kartonkisoirolle ja kortin koristelin muutamalla enamel dotsilla.

Congrats on your new home! - Onnea uuteen kotiin!

A dear friend of mine moved houses some time ago and I made her this house warming card. I used a stamp by Hero Arts called Venetian Neighborhood - it doesn't look anything like her new house but it's such a beautiful stamp that I wanted to use it anyway! I coloured the image with my watercolours, cut the panel down to size and matted it onto dark brown cardstock. I heat embossed my sentiment (it says 'congrats on your new home') on a strip of yellow cardstock and attached it to my card panel with foam adhesives.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

* Happy Little Stampers: September Watercolour Challenge - Anything Goes

* Addicted to Stamps and More! Challenge #414 - Any Occasion

Tämä kortti meni ihanalle ystävälleni, joka joku aika sitten muutti uuteen kotiin. Tämä Hero Artsin Venetian Neighborhood -leima ei muistuta yhtään hänen uutta kotiaan, mutta on kuitenkin niin ihana, että halusin sitä käyttää. Väritin leimakuvan vesiväreillä ja leikkasin sen oikeaan kokoon ennen kuin kiinnitin paneelin tummanruskealle kartongille. Tekstileiman embossasin keltaiselle kartonkipalalle ja kiinnitin kohotarroilla kiinni. 

Huge Congrats - Suuret Onnittelut

I made a birthday card with this cute Stamping Bella stamp, it's Teeny Tiny Townie with a Bouquet. I coloured the image with my Copics. For the background, I added a bit of floral patterned paper and a panel die cut with Penny Black's Leaf Stitched Frames die. I added my sentiment (it says 'Huge Congrats') onto a sentiment strip die cut with an MFT die and embellished the card with some enamel dots.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #413 - Birthdays

* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Stamp It

* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC324 - All about Occasions

Tein tämän synttärikortin Stamping Bellan Teeny Tiny Townie with a Bouquet -leimalla, leimakuvan väritin Copiceilla. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia ja Penny Blackin Leaf Stitched Frames -stanssilla stanssatun paneelin. Tekstileiman leimasin stanssatulle kartonkistripille ja koristelin kortin enamel dotseilla.

AAA Birthday: September - Syyskuu

The September challenge is live at AAA Birthday and this time the theme is Not a Card. Our Guest Designer for September is Marieke.

I decided to make a gift tag. The cute bunny is from the set Dandelion Wishes by Mama Elephant, I coloured him with my Copics and die cut him out with the matching dies. I created the tag using Tags a Lot dies by Mama Elephant and created a little scene on it using a piece of patterned paper and dies from the Hanging Planters die set by Penny Black. Lastly, I embellished the tag with a little bow.

Syyskuun haaste on alkamassa AAA Birthdayssä ja aiheena on Not a Card. Guest Designerina meillä on Marieke.

Päätin tehdä pienen lahjatagin, johon käytin pupua Mama Elephant -setistä Dandelion Wishes. Pupusen väritin Copiceilla. Tagiin käytin Mama Elephant -stansseja Tags a Lot ja viimeistelin sen palasella kuviopaperia ja Penny Blackin Hanging Planters -stanssisetin stansseilla tehdyillä oksilla.

Guest Designing at AAA Cards - Vieraana AAA Cardsissa

I have the huge honour of being the Guest Designer for the current challenge at AAA Cards - thank you so much, ladies, for having me! The theme is Up to One Third with the optional twist of Leaves.

I decided to go for the optional twist and used stamps from the Winnie & Walter set Renee's Leaves. I coloured the stamped images with my Copics using autumnal colours. For the background, I masked the upper corner and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Brushed Corduroy along the upper one third of my card base. I then arranged and adhered the leaves, added the heat embossed sentiment (from the Snippets set by Penny Black), and embellished the card with a little twine bow and a single enamel dot.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Stamp It!

* As You See It Challenge: Challenge #258 - In the Air

* Inkspirational: Challenge #247 - Autumn Leaves

Minulla on kunnia olla Guest Designer tämänkertaisessa AAA Cards -haasteessa. Teemana on Up to One Third ja vaihtoehtoinen twisti on Leaves.

Omaan korttiini käytin leimoja Winnie & Walterin setistä Renee's Leaves, leimakuvat väritin Copiceilla. Korttipohjaan maskasin kulman ja mustetin yläkolmannesta Distress Oxide -musteen sävyllä Brushed Corduroy. Sitten kiinnitin lehdet paikoilleen, lisäsin embossatun tekstin (Penny Blackin setistä Snippets) ja koristelin kortin pienellä rusetilla ja yhdellä enamel dotsilla.

PBSC: September - Syyskuu

It's September already and time for a new challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge. The theme is, as always, Anything Goes with the optional theme of the month being Embossing - Wet or Dry. As our Guest Designer, we have the talented Loll.

For my card, I used the gorgeous Florescence stamp by Penny Black and I coloured the image with my Copics. I wanted to keep the card simple, so for the background I simply masked a rectangle on my card base and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Bundled Sage on it. After removing the masking tape, I adhered a frame to the sponged rectangle that I had die cut with Looped Stackers die. I then heat embossed a sentiment from Trust Me Builder sentiment set onto a strip of black cardstock and adhered it in place.

Penny Black products used:

* Florescence (40-779)

* Looped Stackers (51-631)

* Trust Me Builder (30-710)

I'm entering my card to the following challenge:

* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Stamp It!

Syyskuun haaste on alkamassa Penny Black Saturday Challengessä ja aiheena on, kuten aina, Anything Goes. Syyskuun vaihtoehtoinen aihe on Embossing - Heat or Dry. Guest Designerina meillä on Loll.

Oman korttini tein Penny Blackin ihanalla Florescence-leimalla, leimakuvan väritin Copiceilla. Halusin pitää kortin simppelinä, joten taustalle maskasin vain suorakulmion, jonka mustetin Distress Oxide -musteella sävyssä Bundled Sage. Maskauksen jälkeen kiinnitin suorakulmioon kehyksen, jonka stanssasin Looped Stackers -stanssilla. Tekstileiman setistä Trust Me Builder embossasin mustalle kartonkisuikaleelle ja kiinnitin paikoilleen. 

Birthday Card - Syntymäpäiväkortti

I made a birthday card with a gorgeous floral stamp by Penny Black called Floral Medley. I coloured the image with my Copics. I adhered a piece of patterned paper on my card base and a frame die cut with regular rectangle dies. I then adhered the image with foam adhesives and adhered the die cut sentiment (it says 'Congrats') on top of the image. Lastly, I embellished the card with some gold enamel dots.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
