Mother's Day card - Äitienpäiväkortti

I haven't had a chance to share the Mother's Day card I made for my Mom until now. I used one of my newest stamps, Cosmos Bunch by Pinkfresh Studio. I coloured the image with my Copics and die cut the panel with Penny Black's Leaf Stitched Frames die. Before removing the die, I sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Antique Linen on the panel. I then adhered the panel onto some pink cardstock before adhering it all to my card base. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment (it says 'For Mother) and embellished the card with some sticky back pearls.

Äitienpäiväkortti on jäänyt jakamatta, joten tässä tulee. Korttiin käytin Pinkfresh Studion ihanaa Cosmos Bunch -leimaa. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja stanssasin paneelin Penny Blackin Leaf Stitched Frames -stanssilla. Ennen kuin irrotin stanssin paikoiltaa, mustetin paneelia hieman Distress Oxide -musteella sävyssä Antique Linen. Paneelin kiinnitin pinkkiin kartonkiin ja sitten korttipohjaan. Lopuksi leimasin tekstin ja koristelin kortin puolihelmillä.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge: May - Toukokuu

It is time for a new challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge. The theme is Anything Goes (as long as it features a Penny Black product) with the optional theme of Nature. Our Guest Designer is the talented Loll.

I chose the optional theme and used a beautiful flower meadow stamp by Penny Black called Delight. I coloured the image with my Karin markers and die cut the panel with Penny Black's Semi-Circle Stackers die before mounting it onto a panel of dark blue cardstock. For the background, I used pale blue cardstock and created a bit of interest by adding a die cut (the die I used is by Penny Black and called Layered Leaves). I embellished the card with some half pearls. This time I didn't add any sentiment to the card as sometimes I find myself needing a simple card without any specific sentiment.

Please pop by PBSC blog to see the beautiful cards created by my team mates and our Guest Designer. Don't forget to join the challenge as well!

Penny Black Saturday Challengessä on alkanut uusi haaste. Toukokuussa teemana on, kuten aina, Anything Goes ja vaihtoehtoinen teema on Nature. Guest Designerina on Loll.

Käytin korttiini Penny Blackin ihanaa kukkaketoleimaa nimeltä Delight. Väritin leimakuvan Karin-tusseilla ja stanssasin paneelin Penny Blackin Semi-Circle Stackers -stanssilla. Taustalle laitoin vaaleansinistä kartonkia ja stanssatun koristeen (stanssattu Penny Blackin Layered Leaves -stanssilla). Tekstileimaa en tällä kertaa käyttänyt, mutta koristelin kortin puolihelmillä.

AAA Birthday: May - Toukokuu

It's AAA Birthday's 3rd birthday and it is time to party! The theme is Let's Party and joining us in our celebration is our Guest Designer, Meghan.

A party is no party without a conga line, right? Ha ha! That was the motivation behind my card on which I used the Conga Line stamp by Colorado Craft Company. I coloured the image with my Karin markers, added some splatters with gold spray and adhered some gold sequins as embellishments, hoping they'd look a bit like confetti being thrown. The sentiment (which says 'Congrats') is a die cut. I die cut it 3 or 4 times and adhered all the layers on top of each other before adhering it on my card. This gives a nice dimension to the sentiment, although it doesn't show on the photo. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto some red cardstock before adhering it all to my card base.

Please do join us in our celebratory challenge and create a Let's Party birthday card!

AAA Birthday on jo 3-vuotias ja sitähän pitää juhlia! Teemana on siis Let's Party ja juhlimassa mukana on Guest Designer Meghan.

Käytin DT-korttiini Colorado Craft Companyn Conga Line -leimaa, väritin leimakuvan Karin-tusseilla ja roiskin päälle kultaspraytä. Lisäsin vielä muutaman kultaisen paljetin ja toivoin, että ne näyttäisivät ilmaan heitetyltä konfetilta. Teksti on stanssattu, stanssasin sen 3-4 kertaan ja kiinnitin kerrokset toisiinsa ennen kuin kiinnitin sen korttiin. Lopuksi kiinnitin paneelin punaiselle kartongille ja korttipohjaan. 

Twelve - Kaksitoista

My eldest son turned 12 last month and I made him a birthday card using an older Tiddly Inks stamp from the set My Boys. I coloured the image with my Copics and fussy cut it out. I wanted to keep the card simple, so I added a bit of patterned paper on my card base, and die cut a star frame with Lawn Fawn dies which I adhered with foam adhesives. I added a die cut sentiment (it says 'Congrats') and die cut numbers to the card. Lastly, I adhered the stamped image with foam adhesives and embellished the card with some enamel dots.

Vanhin poikani täytti viime kuussa 12 ja tein hänelle tämän kortin. Käytin siihen vanhempaa Tiddly Inks -leimaa setistä My Boys. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja leikkasin sen irti. Kortin taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia ja stanssasin tähtikehykset, jotka kiinnitin kohotarroilla. Teksti ja numerot ovat stanssatut myös. Koristelin kortin enamel dotseilla.

Floral Focus - Kukkia, kukkia

Here's a floral card I made with the gorgeous stamp Floral Focus by Pinkfresh Studio. I did the colouring with my Copics, cut the panel to size and matted it to dark violet and the to lighter violet cardstock before adhering it to my card base. The sentiment is half die cut, half heat embossed and it says 'Happy Birthday'. I didn't add any embellishments to the card as I thought the floral panel was beautiful on its own.

Tämä kukkakortti syntyi Pinkfresh Studion ihanalla Floral Focus -leimalla. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja leikkasin sopivaan kokoon, minkä jälkeen kerrostin sen ensin tumman liilalle ja sitten vaaleamman liilalle kartongille. Teksti on puoliksi stanssattu ja puoliksi embossattu. Koristeita en käyttänyt, leimakuva itsessään on niin nätti. 

AAA Birthday: April - Huhtikuu

There's a fun new challenge starting at AAA Birthday with the theme of 'Critters'. As our Guest Designer, we have the wonderful Libeeti joining us. 

My critter is a bear that comes from the sweet stamp set called Happy Day! by Colorado Craft Company. I stamped the bear on watercolour paper and coloured it with my Karin markers. I then die cut the edge with a die from the set Border Collection by Penny Black and placed some patterned paper behind it. I die cut a couple of banners with MFT dies and stamped my sentiment on one (it says 'Congratulations'). Lastly, I embellished the card with a tiny star, a bow of string and some enamel dots. 

I hope you can join us at AAA Birthday this month!

AAA Birthdayssä on alkanut uusi haaste, teemana huhtikuussa on 'Critters'. Guest Designer tässä kuussa on Libeeti.

Oman korttini tein Colorado Craft Companyn leimalla setistä Happy Day! Leimasin nallukan vesiväripaperille ja väritin Karin-tusseilla, minkä jälkeen stanssasin reunan stanssilla Penny Blackin Border Collection -setistä. Bannerit stanssasin MFT:n stansseilla ja leimasin toiseen tekstin. Lopuksi koristelin kortin pienellä tähdellä, narurusetilla ja enamel dotseilla.

Flowers - Kukkia

 I made a slimline card with this gorgeous stamp by Pinkfresh Studio called Miss Your Smile. I coloured the image with my Copics and die cut the slimline shape with Slimline Medley die by Penny Black. While the die was still in place, I sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Antique Linen onto the panel. After removing the die, I stamped the sentiment - it says 'Congrats'. Lastly, I embellished the card with some clear sequins.

Tein slimline-kortin tällä ihanalla Pinkfresh Studio -leimalla, Miss Your Smile. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja stanssasin paneelin Penny Blackin stanssilla Slimline Medley. Stanssin ollessa vielä paikoillaan mustetin paneelia Distress Oxide -musteen sävyllä Antique Linen. Lopuksi leimasin tekstin ja koristelin kortin muutamalla kirkkaalla paljetilla.
