Itse en tänä(kään) vuonna ylioppilaskorttia tarvitse, mutta tällä kertaa minulta sellainen tilattiin. Korttiin sain muuten melko vapaat kädet mutta väritoiveena oli vaaleanpunainen-ruskea-yhdistelmä. Kukkakorttejahan ylioppilaille melko usein annetaan, joten sellaista lähdin tekemään mutta yritin tehdä kortista hieman modernimpaa, ei ihan perinteistä punainen ruussu -korttia. Taustan leimasin Hero Artsin Aged Background -leimalla, johon laitoin Distress Inkejä ja vettä suihkauksen, pari perään ja sitten kerrostin kartongille ja kiinnitin korttipohjaan tarrapaloilla. Kukat stanssasin Memory Boxin stanssilla, kiinnitin pohjaan ja lisäsin muutaman timantin. Lisäksi vielä tekstileima. Yksinkertainen, mutta toivottavasti tilaajan ja erityisesti saajan mieleen.
I was asked to make a card to congratulate a graduate and while I got quite free reign as to what kind of a card to make, the preferred colour combination was pink with brown. I stamped the background with Hero Arts Aged Background stamp and some Distress Inks misted with water, mounted it on some brown cardstock and attached it to the card base with foam adhesives. I die cut the flowers with a Memory Box die and added some rhinestones for a bit of sparkle. The sentiment says 'for the graduate'. It's quite simple, I suppose, but I hope the person who receives it, likes it.

Lisää synttärikortteja - More birthday cards
Kolmaskin veljenpoikani juhlii synttäreitään keväällä/alkukesästä ja "perinteitä kunnioittaen" tein hänellekin kolme korttia. Vaihtelun vuoksi tein tämän ensimmäisen tagin muotoon, eli leikkasin tagin Tim Holtzin stanssilla ja päällystin October Afternoonin papereilla, washiteipillä, leimakuvalla (auto Papermanian, teksti FinnStamperin, muut Wycinankan). Lisäksi hieman mininiittejä ja narua.
My nephew #3 also has his birthday during spring/early summer and I made three cards for him as well. Although, this first one is actually a tag, I die cut it with a Tim Holtz die and used October Afternoon papers and some washi tapes to decorate it along with some stamping (the car is a stamp by Papermania, the sentiment is by FinnStamper and says 'congrats', other stamps used are by Wycinanka). To finish it off I used some tiny staples and some twine.
Tämä seuraava kortti on hyvin rankasti inspiroitunut eräästä mallikortista Pattern Play -kurssilta. Embossasin siihen Papertrey Inkin pyörän, johon laitoin napit renkaiksi. Reunustoille laitoin paperia ja washiteippiä ja tekstin leimasin paperi"aurinkoon". Lisäksi vain hieman valkoista enamel accentsia.
This next card is very heavily inspired by a card on the Pattern Play course that I took some time ago. I heat embossed the bike (by Papertrey Ink) with black embossing powder and added some buttons as wheels. I used some bits of paper and washi tape to further decorate the card and added some white enamel accents drops.
Tässä vaiheessa alkoi jo poikakortti-ideat loppua (näin käy aina... :/ ), joten kolmanneksi kortiksi tein ihan simppelin CAS-kortin, johon maskasin Tingtura Designin pilviä ja sateenkaaren, jotka väritin ProMarkereilla. Lisäksi vain onnitteluteksti leimaten.
By the card #3 I was already running out of ideas for boy cards (this always happens to me.... :/ ) so I decided to make a simple CAS card with some Tingtura Design stamps that I masked to form the little scene with clouds and the rainbow. Then I simply stamped the sentiment ('congrats').
Nyt on kevään synttärisumasta selvitty ja seuraava poikasynttärikortti tarvitaan vasta syksyllä. Josko sitä siihen mennessä ehtisi kehitellä taas jotain ideaa... Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit! Aurinkoista keskiviikkoa! :)
Now there won't be any more birthday cards for boys needed until autumn, so I have some time to come up with some new ideas for cards... Thanks for your time today and for any comment you may wish to leave me. Have a happy day! :)

Veljenpojalle - For my nephew
Tässä taas näytille veljenpojalle menneitä synttärikortteja. Meidän antamamme kortin bloggasin jo aikaisemmin (klikklik), nämä kortit menivät 10 vuotta täyttäneelle pojalle isovanhempien ja isoisoäidin kautta. Veljenpoikani on onneksi sen verran huumorintajuinen, että uskalsin hänelle tehdä kortin tällä Doodlen kissalla, joka ei ehkä ihan kaikkien korttiin sopisi. Kattimattisen väritin ProMarkereilla, tekstin leimasin Papertrey Inkin aakkosilla. Sitten vain leimakuvan kiinnitys mustalle kartongille ja tarrapaloilla korttipohjaan ja lisäksi pari mustaa timanttia.
Here's another batch of birthday cards made for one of my nephews. I've already blogged the card we gave to him (see it here), these cards were given to him by his grandparents and his greatgrandma. My nephew, who turned 10, has a good sense of humour so I thought I could make a card with this DoodleFactory cat for him - this cat is perhaps not for everyone's taste... ;) I coloured the cat with ProMarkers and stamped the sentiment (goes something like 'hey dude, congrats') with Papertrey Ink alphabet stamps. Then I mounted the stamped image on black cardstock, attached it to card base with foam adhesives and added a couple of black rhinestones.
Seuraavakin kortti on melko CAS mutta ajattelin sen sopivan 'miehiseen makuun' :) Tätä varten embossasin valkoisella kohojauheella tuon Wycinankan tähden mustalle kartogille ja leikkasin irti. Tähden keskustaan laitoin pienen chipboard-tähden, jonka olin päällystänyt valkoisella enamel accentsilla. Raidat korttipohjaan tuli washiteipeistä ja mustat pisteet mustasta enamel accentsista.
The next card is quite CAS as well but I thought it might be to the liking of a young gentleman :) I heat embossed the star stamp (by Wycinanka) with white embossing powder on black cardstock and cut it out. I then attached a tiny chipboard star in the middle of it, I had coated the star with white enamel accents. I created the stripes with washi tapes, attached the star with foam adhesives and added the black dots with black enamel accents.
Sellaiset kortit tällä kertaa. Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Mukavata maanantaita! :)
That's all for this time. Thanks for your visit and for any comment you may wish to leave me. Have a fab Monday! :)

On one leg
Jatketaas taas art journalilla, tällä kerralla hieman simppelimpää linjaa. Hieman lehdistä saksittuja kuvia ja viisauksia, washiteippiä, kreppipaperia, spray inkiä ja leimaa ja onnekkaasti viereisen sivun teosta mukaan tulleet mustat roiskeet.
Another art journal page, this time somewhat simpler one. There's just some magazine clippings (the text says 'if you think about the next step too much, you'll spend all your life standing on one leg"), some washi tape, some crepe paper, some spray ink and stamping and some black splatters of ink that came about when I was making the page next to this one - a lucky mistake!

Step away
Tätä art journal -sivua lähdin vain tekemään sen kummemmin miettimättä, mitä teen (juu-u, joskus ihan oikeasti mietin etukäteen, mitä teen... ;D ). Lisäilin vain väriä sivulle - yllättäen tuota lempparikomboa, keltaista ja pinkkiä - maalia ja spray inkiä, neocolor II:a ja musteita. Suoraan sivulle, sabluunan läpi, roiskien ja leimaten. Lisäilin vähän washiteippiä ja leimakuvaa (Zettiology), valkoista kynää, mustaa kynää ja Prismacoloreita. Lopuksi vähän tekstiä aakkosleimoilla. Ehkä tämä sivu voi toimia muistutuksena itselle, että sieltä mukavuusalueelta tosiaan voisi joskus hilata itsensä pois, sen ulkopuolella saattaa olla hauskempaa ;)
This art journal page just happened, I didn't really think what I was doing (yes, I know it's surprising but sometimes I actually do think beforehand what I'll do... ;D ). I just started adding colour to the page, pink and yellow of course, no surprises there as it's my favourite combination at the moment. I added paint, I added spray inks, I added Neocolor II, I added inks. Straight to the page, through a stencil, as splatters, with rubber stamps. I added some washi tape and a stamped image (Zettiology), some white pen, some black pen and some Prismacolor pencils. Then some journaling with alphabet stamps. Maybe this page serves as a note to myself to sometimes drag myself out of my comfort zone, things might just be a bit more fun that way ;)

Kukkakortti - Flower card
Tein taas pikaisen kortin tällä Penny Blackin ihanalla leimalla. Väritin leimakuvan Prismoilla ja lisäsin kukkien keskustoihin Sticklesiä. Leimakuvan kiinnitin parille kartongille ja tarrapaloilla korttipohjaan, johon olin kiinnittänyt October Afternoonin paperia. Koristeina tuollaista harsomaista nauhaa, scrapper's flossia ja nappi. Perussettiä siis taas.
I made another card with this gorgeous rubber stamp ('Scented Message') by Penny Black. I coloured the stamped image with Prismacolor pencils and added some Stickles to the centres of the flowers. I mounted the image on two cardstocks and attached the whole thing on the card base with foam pads. The paper I used is by October Afternoon. As embellies there are the usual suspects: some ribbon, some scrapper's floss and a button. So, a very basic card but I hope it works :)

Hän on kolme! - He is three!
...ollut jo hetken aikaa kylläkin, nimittäin meidän ihana esikoisemme täytti tuossa huhtikuun loppupuolella kokonaiset kolme vuotta (tähän kohtaan saa lisätä järkyttynyttä päivittelyä ajan kulumisesta... ja paljon!). Tein hänelle kolme korttia, yhden meiltä ja loput isovanhempien ja isoisoäidin annettavaksi. Ensin esittelyyn meiltä saatu kortti, jossa tietenkin on auto - mitä muuta pienen automiehen kortissa voi olla? Leima on siis Papermanian ja Distress Markereilla väritetty. Säteet taustalla on FinnStamperin leima, tekstileima Paperinauhan setistä ja paperit My Mind's Eyeta. Valmiin kortin koristuksiin ei kuulunut tuo kuvassa näkyvä post-it -lappu, se peittää pojan nimeä, jonka korttiin leimasin ;)
...and has been for a while already. Our gorgeous big boy, our firstborn, turned three at the end of April (and yes, I am still shocked - how can he be three already?!). I made three cards for his birthday, one from us and one for his grandparents to give to him and one for his greatgrandmother to give to him. This first card is from us and, of course, it has a car on it - he is such an enthusiastic carlover :) The stamped image is by Papermania and I coloured it with Distress Markers. The ray stamp behind the car is by FinnStamper and the sentiment says something like 'huuuge congrats'. And the piece of a post-it note that you can see on the photo is not an embellishment, it just covers his name that I stamped there and that I'm not willing to share (yes, I'm overcautious...).
Ja tältä kortti näyttää, kun se avataan. Kyseessä on siis ns. spiral pop-up -kortti, johon tein tuon spiraalin Sizzixin ruusustanssilla ja kiinnitin siihen kolme pientä autoleimakuvaa.
And this is what the card looks like when it's opened. It's a spiral pop-up card. I made the spiral with a Sizzix rose die and attached three little stamped cars to it.
Tämän kortin pojalle antoivat isovanhemmat. Tuon koalaleiman valmistajaa en tiedä, väritin sen kuitenkin Distress Markereilla. Tekstileima taitaa sekin olla Paperinauhan setistä ja paperit vanhoja October Afternooneja. Lisänä nappi.
This card was given to him by his grandparents. I stamped the three koalas (I don't know the manufacturer of the stamp, sorry) and coloured them with Distress Markers. The papers are by October Afternoon and the sentiment says something like 'have an amazingly fun birthday'.
Viimeisenä näytille isoisoäidin antama kortti (pojalla ja isoisoäidillään on muuten 90 vuotta ikäeroa :) ). Leimakuva on Art Journeyn, paperit Authentiqueta, lisänä numero Tim Holtzin stanssilla stanssattuna ja tuollaiset metallipidikkeet.
And lastly, this card was given to our son by his greatgrandmother (the age difference between her and our son is whopping 90 years! :) ). The rubber stamp I used is by Art Journey, it's from the Grunge set. The papers are by Authentique, the number is die cut with a Tim Holtz die and as embellies there are a couple of brads and those metal 'holders' (don't know what they're called really).
Noin siis kolme korttia kolmevuotiaalle :) Kiitos, jos jaksoit tänne asti kahlata ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Mukavaa viikkoa! :)
So there, three cards for a three-year-old :) Thanks for popping by to see them and thanks for any comment you may wish to leave me. Have a happy week! :)

When your heart is on fire
Viime aikoina on tullut tehtyä enemmän art journal -sivuja (-sotkuja..?! ;D ) kuin kortteja, jotenkin on ollut hauskempaa nyt vain tehdä huolettomammin kuin miettiä turhan tarkkaan (kortteja siis yleensä mietin tarkempaan ja mittaan papereita millilleen, nämä sivut on jotain ihan muuta... ;D). Ihan kaikkia sivuja en ole vielä ehtinyt näyttää mutta tässä tulee taas yksi. Tämä alkoi keltaisesta maalista ja pinkistä spray inkistä, jotka olin sivuun pyyhkinyt joitain muita sivuja tehdessäni. Siihen sitten lisäilin hieman mustetta sabluunan läpi, washiteippejä, leimailua (Dina Wakleyn sydän, Suzi Blun tyttö, Wycinankan sydänrivi ja Dylusionsin boordi, Papertrey Inkin aakkoset), paljettia jne. Tuon typsyn leimasin vanhaan kirjan sivuun, teksti tuo hauskasti 'kerrosta' tyttöön. Tuo journaling-osa tuli vähän "pakosta" tuohon, näin nimittäin pöydälläni vanhan lappusen, johon olin sen kirjoittanut jostain muistiin. Heti perään näin saman tekstin mainoksessa eräässä lehdessä ja ajattelin, että on kai sitten parempi laittaa se tähän sivuunkin, kun se nyt joka puolelta esiin hyppii :) (Teksti näkynee hieman huonosti tuosta kuvasta, siinä siis lukee "You light up the world when your heart is on fire").
Recently, I've been art journaling more than making cards, for some reason at the moment I enjoy the freedom of making a page much more than the exactness of making a card (usually I think much more when I make a card and I cut papers etc very carefully - all that goes out of the window when I'm making an art journal page :D ). I haven't had a chance to blog all my pages yet but here's one I made yesterday. This page started with the yellow paint and the pink spray ink that were on the page, I had mopped them up on this page while making another. Then I just added some ink through a stencil, some washi tapes, some rubber stamping (a Dina Wakley heart, a Suzi Blu girl, a row of hearts by Wycinanka, a Dylusions border, Papertrey Ink alphabet), a sequin, etc. I stamped the girl on an old book page and let the words show through the colouring, I think it adds a nice layer to her. The journaling part was a funny coincidence: I had an old piece of paper on my desk with that quote on it, and right after seeing it I looked through a magazine and noticed an ad with the same quote on it! So I thought it might be best if I just used it as my journaling :) (In case you can't see it clearly, it says 'You light up the world when your heart is on fire').

Words
The Artistic Stamperin toukokuun haaste on 'words' ja tein siihen tämän art journal -sivun. Tähän meni taas vähän kaikkea, struktuuripastaa, akryylimaaleja, gessoa, spray inkejä, washiteippejä, leimoja (The Artistic Stamper, Zettiology), paljetteja jne. Tuo teksti on lainaus Englantilaisesta potilaasta.
The May challenge over at the Artistic Stamper blog is 'words' and I made this art journal page for it. Once again, I used a bit of everything to make this page: modeling paste, acrylic paints, gesso, spray inks, washi tapes, rubber stamps (The Artistic Stamper, Zettiology), sequins, etc. The journaling is a quote from Michael Ondaatje's 'The English Patient'.

Rakkautta ensi silmäyksellä - Love at first sight
Sitä se oli, rakkautta ensi silmäyksellä, kun näin tämän leimasimen. En osaa edes sanoa, mikä tästä tekee erityisen kauniin, mutta olen korviani myöten ihastunut tähän kukkaan :) Tämä on siis Hero Artsin Etched Flower with Stem ja se on ihana :) Tein samoin tein kaksi samanlaista korttia tällä leimalla, vaihdoin vain värit. Kukat väritin Prismacoloreilla ja kiinnitin leimakuvan ensin kartonkiin ja sitten tarrapaloilla korttipohjaan, jonka olin leimannut ensin Hero Artsin Looped Flower Pattern -taustaleimalla. Lisäksi vain pari timanttia.
Yes, it was love at first sight when I first saw this stamp. It's just one of the prettiest flower stamps I've seen for a long time and I'm totally in love with it :) It's called 'Etched Flower with Stem' and it's by Hero Arts. I decided to make two identical cards with this stamp, just in different colours. I coloured the stamped images with Prismacolour pencils and attached them to cardstock and then to the card base with foam adhesives. The card base is stamped with 'Looped Flower Pattern' by Hero Arts. As embellies, there are a couple of rhinestones.

Yes, it was love at first sight when I first saw this stamp.

Pitsiä! - Lace!
Vetäkääs liput salkoon ja tervaristi seinään: tässä kortissa on pitsiä! Sellaista ihmettä ei olekaan nähty tässä blogissa yli vuoteen (kyllä, tarkistin asian ja viimeksi olen käyttänyt pitsiä kortissa, jonka bloggasin viime vuoden maaliskuussa :D ). Jo oli aikakin siis! Pitsi hakeutui seuraksi tälle ihanalle Penny Blackin leimalle, johon ihastuin täyttä päätä, kun näin SannaS:n ihanan tagin. Jotenkin hassusti tuo leima sitten löysi tiensä meille... ;D (Kiitos vain, SannaS... ;) ) Leimasin tuon leiman varsin psykedeelisen kuviopaperin nurjalle puolelle, joka oli mukavan neutraalin värinen (ja oikeasti se on enemmän vaaleanruskea kuin kuvassa ja sopii siis paremmin korttipohjaan väriltään kuin mitä kuva antaa ymmärtää) ja väritin sen Prismacoloreilla. Korttipohjan leimasin Hero Artsin Graph Backgroundilla ja HA Shadow Inkillä, leimakuvan kiinnitin ensin siniselle kartongille ja sitten tarrapaloilla korttipohjaan. Lisukkeina sitä pitsiä ja jokunen timantti.
Be surprised, be very surprised: there's lace on this card! That's something that hasn't been seen in this blog for over a year (yes, I checked and the last time I blogged a card with lace on it was March last year :D ). So it was about time to use lace again, don't you think? The lace accompanies this beautiful stamped image by Penny Black called 'Scented Message'. I totally fell for it after I saw this gorgeous tag made by my bloggy friend SannaS, after that I just had to have the stamp... ;) I stamped the image on the 'wrong' side of a patterned paper that was a bit too busy for my liking, this wrong side looks far better to me (and in real life it's a bit more brownish than it looks in the piccie and it suits the kraft cardstock far better than you'd guess from the piccie). I coloured the image with Prismacolour pencils. I stamped the kraft cardbase with Hero Arts Graph Background stamp and Hero Arts Shadow Ink and attached the stamped image to it with foam adhesive after I had attached it to blue cardstock. As embellies there's the said lace and some rhinestones.
