Tein kortin ystävälle. Leimasin tähän kukkarykelmän Paper Smoochesin Blossoming Buds -setistä ja väritin sen Copiceilla. Tekstileima on Papertrey Inkiä. Koristeiksi tuli muutama enamel dotsi ja leipurinnyöriä. Sitten vain kerrostin paneelin kartongille tarrapaloilla ja kiinnitin korttipohjaan.
I needed to make a card for a friend. I chose to use this sweet floral image from the 'Blossoming Buds' set by Paper Smooches, and I coloured it with my Copics. The sentiment is by Papertrey Ink. As embellishments, I used some enamel dots and a piece of baker's twine. I attached the panel onto the pink cardstock with some foam adhesives, so it is a bit raised, and then attached the whole thing on the cardbase.
Kortin sisäosankin koristelin. Leimasin sinne tuon tekstin PTI:n leimalla ja muutaman pienen kukkasen tuosta samasta Paper Smoochesin setistä.
This time I even stamped the inside of the card as well (I usually leave the insides blank). I used a sentiment by PTI and a few tiny flowers by Paper Smooches.

Joulurauhaa - Christmas Peace
Pikkuhiljaa alkaa joulukorttejakin syntymään. Tässä yksi lempparileimasimellani tehty, taidan tehdä tällä joka joulu muutaman kortin mutta kun se on niin ihana... :) Eli kyseessä on Hero Artsin Winter Trees, jonka leimasin Heron Shadow Inkillä (Stone Wash). Alareunan stanssasin WPlus9:n Landscape Borders -stanssilla, sekä leimakuvan että sitä reunustavan harmaan kartongin, ja sitten leimasin tekstin siihen harmaalla. Lumihiutaleen leikkasin Marthan leikkurilla, taustalle hieman hopealankaa sykeröllä ja keskelle paljetti. Leimakuvaan vielä muutama timantti ja taustapaperiksi Lili of the Valley'', niin kortti oli valmis.
I've finally started making some Christmas cards for this year, I know I'm late already but I'm trying not to panic... ;) This first one is made with one of my all time favourite Christmas stamps (I think I make a few cards with it every year), it's Hero Arts' 'Winter Trees'. I stamped it with Hero Arts Shadow Ink in Stone Wash, and then I die cut the bottom with a WPlus9 die from the 'Landscape Borders' set. I did the same to the grey cardstock framing the stamped image. The sentiment (it says something like 'Christmas Peace' in Finnish) is stamped in grey. As embellies, there's a snowflake that I punched with a Martha Stewart punch, I added some silver string behind it and topped it off with a sequin, and then there are some rhinestones. The background paper is by Lili of the Valley.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Hero Arts Holiday Cardmaking Challenge
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #43 - Christmas with the optional twist of 'use pink and/or purple'
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything goes
* Penny Black and More: November Challenge - Anything Christmas

Tiikerililja - Tiger lily
Tämä kortti tuntuu olevan noiden kahden edellisen kortin yhdistelmä, hyvin olen pysynyt simppeli kukkakortti -linjalla... :D Eli tässä taas Penny Blackin Tiger Lily Copiceilla väritettynä ja irtileikattuna, taustan paperit on LOTV:ia. Banneri stanssattu My Favorite Thingsin stanssilla ja siihen leimattu FinnStamperin tekstileima. Lisänä vähän nyöriä ja peel-off-tarroilla numerot.
Another day, another flower card... It seems that I've been making a lot of flower cards recently, hope you're not getting bored with them... Anyways, I used Penny Black's Tiger Lily stamp again, coloured the flower with my Copics and fussy cut it out. I die cut the banner with a My Favorite Things die and stamped the sentiment ('Congratulations on your special day' in Finnish) on it. The patterned papers are by Lili of the Valley. Hope you like it :)
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything goes
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge:Throwback (I chose the 'For the Love of Plants' challenge from June 2015)

Kukkia - Flowers
Tämäkin oli tilauskortti, tällä kertaa 64 vuotta täyttävälle naiselle. Leimakuvana tässä käytin Penny Blackin ihanaa Scented Messagea, jonka väritin Distress Markereilla ja stanssasin Simonin ommelreunastansseilla. Bannerin stanssasin My Favorite Thingsin stanssilla ja leimasin siihen FinnStamperin tekstin. Taustalla on hieman kultapaperia ja Lili of the Valley'n kuviopaperia. Koristeina muutama minipaljetti ja hieman narua ja pari pientä helmeä.
I was asked to make a birthday card for a lady turning 64 and this is what I came up with. I chose to use 'Scented Message' by Penny Black as my stamped image, and I coloured it with Distress Markers and die cut it with a Simon Says Stamp stitched edge die. I die cut the fishtail banner with a My Favorite Things die and stamped the sentiment on it (it says something like 'Congratulations on your special day' in Finnish). For the background, I used some golden glitter paper and some patterned paper by Lili of the Valley. As embellies, there are some tiny sequins, a bit of twine and a couple of tiny beads on the twine.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything goes
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Throwback (I chose the 'Botanical' challenge from May 2014)

Tiikerinlilja nelikymppiselle - Tiger Lily for Her 40th
Ohops, taas on mennyt melkein kuukausi viime postauksesta..?? Mihin ihmeeseen aika oikein kiirehtii, en tunnu ehtivän mukaan.. No, nyt kuitenkin koitan ehtiä postata tämän kortin, tein sen tilauksesta 40 vuotta täyttävälle naiselle. Mielestäni tuo Pennyn tiikerinlilja on sen verran tyylikäs, että se käypi hyvin täysien kymppien synttärikorttiin mutta on kuitenkin tarpeeksi nuorekas. Väritin sen Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti. Taustalle stanssasin pienet kehykset ja kiinnitin kukan tarrapaloilla siihen päälle. Taustapaperi on Lili of the Valley'ä, numerot ja teksti ääriviivatarroja ja koristeina jokunen paljetti. Yksinkertaista taas mutta toivottavasti tyylikästä!
I just do not know where time goes, it seems to fly past with at least double the speed it used to... It's been almost a month since my last blog post and I thought it was only a few days... Oh well, I'm here now with a new card :) I was asked to make a birthday card for a lady turning 40 and this is what I came up with. I chose to use this gorgeous 'Tiger Lily' by Penny Black as I think it's stylish and elegant enough for a " milestone" birthday card, yet it also has "young vibe" to it (as opposed to roses, for example). Anyways, I coloured it with my Copics and fussy cut it out. I die cut the little frame in the background and attached the flower on top of it with some foam adhesives for a little extra interest. The background paper is by Lili of the Valley, the numbers and sentiment (it says 'Congrats' in Finnish) are peel-off stickers, and as embellies there are some sequins. Hope the recipient liked the card!
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Penny Black and More Challenge: October Challenge - Warm Autumn Colours (used in the flower)
* ABC Challenges: S is for Sprinkles (I 'sprinkled' some sequins onto my card)
* Papertake Weekly Challenge: Two by Two (the white frame behind the flower measures 2 inches by 2 inches)
* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #41 - Inspired by Words Challenge: 'Autumn... the year's last, loveliest smile' (autumn colours used in the flower)

Jannu - Dude
Idea tähän korttiin lähti tuosta taustapaperista. Tein synttärikorttia 12 vuotta täyttävälle pojalle ja halusin siihen vähän räväkkyyttä, joten valitsin tuollaisen "räjähdyskuviopaperin" (Echo Parkia). Leimakuva on Tiddly Inksiä (My Boys) ja väritin sen Distress Markereilla. Stanssasin leimakuvan Simon Says Stampin ommelreunastanssilla. Nuo pienemmät "räjähdykset" stanssasin Sizzixin Starburst-stanssilla ja leimasin niihin Lawn Fawnin aakkosilla tekstin ja numerot. Lisäksi hieman enamel dotseja.
I needed to make a birthday card for a boy turning 12 and I wanted the card to look energetic and happy and boyish so I decided to use a really funky background paper (by Echo Park). The stamped image is by Tiddly Inks (from the "My Boys" set), I coloured it with Distress Markers and die cut it with the stitched edge die by Simon Says Stamp. I die cut a couple of "explosions" with a Sizzix die ("Starburst") and stamped the sentiment and the numbers on them with Lawn Fawn stamps. To finish the card off, I used some enamel dots.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Die Crazy
* Addicted to Stamps and More! Challenge #162 - Make Your Mark

Golffari - Golfer
Tässä hieman edellistä perinteisempi synttärikortti miehelleni. Tämän siis appivanhempansa antoivat hänelle. Mieheni pitää golffaamisesta, joten valitsin korttiin leimakuvaksi Papermanian herrasmiesgolffarin, jonka väritin Distress Markereilla. Bannerit stanssasin My Favorite Thingsin stansseilla ja leimasin niihin numerot. Lisäksi vain hieman kuviopapereita kartongille kerrostettuna ja nappi. Miehekkään yksinkertaista! :)
This is another birthday card I made for my husband, it's a bit more traditional than the one I showed you last time. This was given to him by his in-laws. My husband likes to golf so I chose this old-fashioned gentleman golfer by Papermania as the focal point, I coloured it with Distress Markers. I die cut the banners with My Favorite Things dies and stamped the numbers. Then I just matted some patterned papers onto brown cardstock and added a simple button as an embellishment. Simple but manly, I hope! :)
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Mukavaa tiistain jatkoa! :)

Hämmentyneesti 40 - 40 and bewildered
Mieheni täytti 40 kesällä ja tein hänelle tällaisen kortin. Tuo Penny Blackin Oscar näyttää jotenkin hyvin hämmentyneeltä, joten ajattelin, että hän sopisi hyvin tällaiseen hämmästelykorttiin... :D Oscar on Copiceilla väritetty ja taas osittain stanssattu Simon Says Stampin ommelreunastanssilla. Numeron ja kirjaimet on stanssattu Timpan stanssilla. Lisänä hieman kuviopaperia, nyöriä ja muutama enamel dotsi. Siinäpä se, hämmentynyt Oscar!
My husband turned 40 during the summer and I made him this card. 'Oscar' (a stamp by Penny Black) looks kind of bewildered so I thought he might suit this card very well :D I coloured Oscar with my Copics and partially die cut him with a stitched edge die by Simon Says Stamp. The numbers and letters I die cut with a Tim Holtz die. There's some patterned paper (by Authentique, if I remember correctly), a bit of twine and some enamel dots as well. And there it is, a birthday card for my husband (who luckily understands my humour very well! :D )
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Suloista sunnuntaita! :)

Aurinkoisia kukkia - Sunny flowers
Kukilla jatketaan. Tämä oli tilauskortti, joka tilattiin tsemppikortiksi kovia uutisia saaneelle. En tiedä, onko positiivisempia kukkia kuin auringonkukat, joten leimaksi valitsin tämän Stampendousin kukkaleiman (vaikka tarkemmin katsottuna en ole varma, ovatko nämä auringonkukkia vai punahattuja... no, kauniita ja iloisia ovat kuitenkin ja se kai on tässä pääasia). Kukat väritin Copiceilla ja stanssasin osittain Simon Says Stampin ommelreunastanssilla. Tekstileima on myös Simonia. Taustapaperi on Lili of the Valley'ä ja koristeina hieman leipurinnyöriä ja muutama timantti.
I've another flower card to show you today. This one was a commission card and it is for someone who has had some tough news lately. I wanted to go happy yet elegant with my card so I chose this flower stamp by Stampendous (I've always thought these are sunflowers but looking at them now, they might just be Echinacea.. Well, whatever they are, they're pretty and happy and that's what matters here, right?). I coloured the stamped image with my Copics and partially die cut it out with a stitched edge die by Simon Says Stamp. The sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp as well. The background paper is by Lili of the Valley (I just love this yellow-purple colour combination at the moment :) ) and as embellies there are some baker's twine and a few rhinestones.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #39 - Take some TIME OUT to Make Your Mark (my 2nd entry)
* Penny Black and More Challenge: September - Anything goes

Onnea mummolle! - Happy Birthday, Grandma!
Mummollani on tässä kuussa syntymäpäivät ja tänä vuonna hän täyttää huimat 95 vuotta. Mummoni pitää kukkakorteista, joten tein hänelle sellaisen uusimmalla kukkaleimallani. Tämä on Stampendousin Moray Dahlia, väritin sen Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti. Halusin kukkien saavan päähuomion tässä kortissa, joten en lisännyt siihen kovin paljoa muuta. Kerrostin vain Lili of the Valley'n kuviopapereita kartongille ja lisäsin tekstin ääriviivatarrana. Siinäpä se, yksinkertainen mutta toivottavasti tyylikäs.
My Grandma celebrates her birthday in September and this year she turns 95! She likes cards with flowers so I made her one with my newest flower stamp. This stamp is 'Moray Dahlia' by Stampendous and I think it's just so pretty. I coloured the image with my Copics and fussy cut it out. I wanted the flowers to be the centre of attention in this card so I didn't add any embellishments to it, I just matted some lovely Lili of the Valley patterned papers onto some cardstock and added the peel-off sticker sentiment (it says 'Congratulations' in Finnish). So there, clean and simple with gorgeous flowers :)

Onnittelukukka - Congrats with a flower
Ystävällä oli synttärit ja tein hänelle tällaisen kortin. Kukka on ihanasta Penny Blackin setistä Petal Party, väritin sen Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti. Tekstileima on Vilda Stampsin ja embossattu valkoisella. Paperit ovat pääosin Lili of the Valley'ä ja koristeina hieman leipurinnyöriä ja timantteja.
A friend celebrated her birthday the other day and I sent her this card. The gorgeous flower is from the lovely Penny Black set called 'Petal Party', I coloured it with my Copics and fussy cut out. The sentiment is heat embossed in seafoam white and it says something like 'Joy and happiness' in Finnish (very roughly translated ;) ). The patterned papers are mainly by Lili of the Valley, and as embellies there's some baker's twine and some rhinestones.

Heipat heiluttaen - Waving hello
Tein synttärikortin pojalle tämänviikkoisen Mojo Monday -haasteluonnoksen mukaan. Leimakuva on Tiddly Inksiä Copiceilla väritettynä ja Simonin ommelreunastanssilla stanssattuna. Taustapaperia stanssasin WPlus9:n stanssilla ja tähdet Lawn Fawnin tähtistansseilla. Paperit taitavat olla sekalaista seurakuntaa.
I made this birthday card for a boy following the sketch over at Mojo Monday Card Sketch Challenge. I used a Tiddly Inks stamp and coloured the image with my Copics (still practicing with them so don't look too closely... ;) ). The stitched edge dies I used to die cut the image and the green patterned paper are by Simon Says Stamp, and I used a die by WPlus9 to die cut the little gap in the background paper. The stars are die cut with Lawn Fawn dies, and the numbers with a Tim Holtz die (lots of die cutting going on in this card! :) ).
Haasteet/Challenges:

* Craft Stamper Magazine: Take It Make It Challenge August - Take a Technique 'Pens and Pencils'
* Die Cuttin' Divas: Ch #229 - Celebrate It!

Unikot - Poppies
Vaihteeksi taas kukkakortti. Tämä ihana unikkoleima on C.C. Designsin Himalayan Poppy ja ilmeisesti tämän sortin unikot ovat oikeasti sinisiä mutta menin ja väritin ne nyt perinteisesti punaisiksi. Väritykset on tehty Distress Markereilla, teksti on ääriviivatarra ja koristeina muutama pieni paljetti. Taustapaperi on Lili of the Valley'ä. Tuo leimakuva on melko suuri, joten en viitsinyt lisätä siihen ylenmäärin mitään koristetta, vaan jätin kortin (taas vaihteeksi ;) ) melko yksinkertaiseksi.
I love poppies, and I really love this 'Himalayan Poppy' stamp by C.C. Designs, I think it's so pretty. Apparently, Himalayan poppies are blue in real life but I chose to colour them red this time. I did the colouring using Distress Markers. The sentiment ('Congrats' in Finnish) is a golden peel-off sticker, and I paired it with some tiny gold sequins. The background paper is by Lili of the Valley. I left the card pretty simple as the stamped image is rather large and I didn't want to cover it with anything. Hope you like it! :)

I did the colouring using Distress Markers. The sentiment ('Congrats' in Finnish) is a golden peel-off sticker, and I paired it with some tiny gold sequins. The background paper is by Lili of the Valley. I left the card pretty simple as the stamped image is rather large and I didn't want to cover it with anything. Hope you like it! :)

Leluvene - Sailing Boat
Poikamainen synttärikortti olisi tarjolla näytille tällä kertaa. Leimakuva on LOTV:n, väritin sen Distress Markereilla ja stanssasin Simonin ommelreunaisella stanssilla. Taustalle leimasin Heron Canvas Stripe -taustaleiman, tekstin leimasin vellumvyötteeseen ja koristeeksi laitoin stanssatun tähden, napin ja vähän nyöriä.
I have a birthday card for a boy to show you today. I made this using Lili of the Valley's lovely 'Sailing Boat' stamp, and I coloured the image with Distress Markers. I used Simon Says Stamp's stitched edge die to die cut the image out, stamped the sentiment (it says 'Congrats' in Finnish) onto a vellum banner and attached the whole thing onto the background onto which I had stamped the stripes with a Hero Arts stamp. I kept the embellishments to a minimum and only used a die cut star with a button and some twine.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Tie It Up
* Addicted to Stamps: Challenge 156 - Anything Goes
* ABC Challenges: 'O is for Open' (Anything Goes)
* Cute Card Thursday: Challenge 385 - One Word
Lyhyestä virsi kaunis, joten sen kummemmitta höpinöittä kiitos, kun kävit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Mukavaa viikonloppua! :)
I'll keep it short and sweet and just say thanks for popping by, I'd love it if you left me a little comment to mark your visit. Have a lovely weekend! :)

Teille kahdelle - For the happy couple
Tämä hääkortti tilattiin elokuisiin häihin maalaismaisemiin. Embossasin valkoisella taustalle Heron ihanat rukiit heinät ja mustetin taustan Distress Inkeillä. Sitten leimasin paksulle vellumille Kort&Godtin pyöräilevät lapset (leimakuvan kehyksestä leimasin vain tuon "maan" ja muun osan jätin pois) ja tekstin ja kiinnitin ilmavasti korttipohjaan. Koristeiksi muutama puolihelmi. Toivottavasti kortti on saajille mieluinen :)
I was asked to make a wedding card for an August wedding that takes place in the countryside, and those were the elements that I tried to incorporate into the card. First I heat embossed in white the Hero Arts 'Silhouette Grass' background stamp and then I sponged some Distress Inks onto the background. I stamped my image onto some sturdy vellum (the stamp has a sort of a frame around it but I left it out, I only stamped the bit that represents the ground) with black ink as I did the sentiment (it says 'For You Two' in Finnish). I attached the vellum onto the inked background and added some half pearls as embellishments. I hope the happy couple that receives this card likes it :)
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: No Ordinary Paper (vellum)

Aina ja ikuisesti - Always and Forever
Tein hääkortin ihan pelkästään embossaamalla. Taustalla käytin Magnolian Love Heart -leimaa, jonka embossasin kullalla valkoiselle kartongille. Vellum-vyötteeseen embossasin niinikään kullalla sanat 'Always Forever' Simon Says Stampin Always&Forever-setistä. Lopuksi kerrostin leimakuvan kultaiselle kartongille ja kiinnitin korttipohjaan. Kortista tuli melko yksinkertainen mutta toivottavasti myös tyylikäs - ainakin olen siihen itse melko tyytyväinen :)
I made a simple wedding card with heat embossing only. I stamped the 'Love Heart' stamp by Magnolia onto some white cardstock and heat embossed it with gold powder. I also heat embossed in gold onto vellum the words 'Always Forever' from the Simon Says Stamp stamp set called 'Always&Forever'. Then I simply matted the cardstock onto some gold cardstock and attached it all to the card base. The card is very clean&simple, and I'm actually so pleased with how it turned out :)
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Penny Black and More: July Challenge - Anything goes with a sentiment
* CAS(E) this Sketch! Sketch #133
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Sparkle and Shine! (gold embossing and gold cardstock)

Robotti - Robot
Tällä kertaa olisi näytille tarjolla tällainen poikamainen synttärikortti, taas varsin simppeli sellainen. Leimakuva on suloinen DoodleFactory-robotti, jonka väritin Copiceilla (kyllä, piiiitkän vastustelun jälkeen annoin periksi ja ostin ensimmäiset Copicini. Nyt sitten kiroilen huokailen, kun en niillä osaa mitään... Ei siis kannata katsoa tuota väritystä turhan tarkkaan, olen vielä sen verran harjoitteluasteella!). Reunaan lisäsin hieman kuviopaperia ja vähän leipurinnyöriä. Sitten vain tekstileima ja paneelin kiinnitys tarrapaloilla korttipohjaan. Siinäpä se.
I've got a boyish birthday card to show you today. It's quite simple (again) but I think I kinda like it :) The cute robot is a stamp by DoodleFactory, I coloured him with Copics (yes, I finally gave in and bought my first Copic markers! I'm no good with them yet so please don't look at my colouring too closely ;) ). As other elements, I used a strip of patterned paper, some baker's twine, and the stamped sentiment (it says 'Congrats!' in Finnish). I used some foam adhesives to attach the panel to the card base.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #36 - CASE with your own twist (I loved Alice's cute card and took inspiration from the cute image, Copic colouring, and the use of patterned paper strips and twine)
* CASology: Week 156 - Line (The paper strip forms a vertical line as does the baker's twine, and there are also lines on the robot)
* Penny Black and More: July Challenge - Anything goes with a sentiment

Elämänlanka - Morning glory
Näytille pari samalla kaavalla, mutta eri väreillä tehtyä korttia. Leimakuva on Papetrey Inkin Morning Glories, jonka embossasin valkoisella ja väritin Distress Markereilla ja vedellä, johon sekoitin hieman Perfect Pearlsia (kuvista se ei varmaankaan näy, mutta kukat kimaltavat kauniisti tuosta Perfect Pearlsista). Sitten vain hieman stanssausta, tekstileimat (Clearly Besottedia ja Stampendousia) ja paperille, kartongille ja korttipohjaan kiinnitys.
I made a couple of cards with Papertrey Ink's 'Morning Glories' stamp which I heat embossed with white powder and watercoloured with Distress Markers using a mixture of water and some Perfect Pearls (you probably can't see it in the photos, but the flowers have a beautiful shimmer to them thanks to the Perfect Pearls). Then I partially die cut the panels with the flowers, stamped the sentiments (by Clearly Besotted and Stampendous, the latter sentiment says 'Happy Birthday' in Finnish), matted the panels to some patterned paper and then to cardstock, and adhered them to card bases.

Auringonkukat - Sunflowers
Jatketaas taas sarjaa "äärimmäisen yksinkertaiset kortit". Väritin nuo Stampendousin ihanat auringonkukat Distress Markereilla ja leikkasin irti. Taustaan käytin Lili of the Valleyn paperia, johon stanssasin Simon Says Stampin ommelreunaisella ympyrällä aukon, ja sitten vain kiinnitin sen korttipohjaan ja arskakukat päälle. Koristeena vain hieman nyöriä.
Another fairly simple card from me today. I stamped the sunflowers with a Stampendous stamp, coloured them with Distress Markers and fussy cut them out. For the background I used some patterned paper by Lili of the Valley, which I cut to size and then die cut the circle window with a Simon Says Stamp stitched edge die. Then I adhered the paper to the cardbase, added the flowers, and used some simple twine as the only embellishment.

Ruusu - A rose
Ohhoh, neljä kuukautta meni hujauksessa! Pieni, suunnittelematon blogitauko siinä siis mutta täällä ollaan taas :) (Tervetuloa muuten uusille lukijoille, jotka tuona aikana olette tänne blogiin tai Facebookiin tienne löytäneet :) ) Koska maaliskuussa jäätiin ruusuun, niin jatketaan nyt taas ruusulla, tällä kertaa Stampendousin Cottage Rose -leimalla. Näistä molemmista korteista tuli melkoisen yksinkertaiset, leimasin ruusun vesivärikartongille, väritin Distress Markereilla, leimasin tekstit (Papertrey Inkiä ja Clearly Besottedia), kerrostin kartongille ja kiinnitin korttipohjaan. Simppeli linja siis taas.
It's been four months since my last blog post (time flies, eh?) but here I am again :) (Hi and welcome to my new followers who found their way either here or to my Facebook page during my absence :) ) In March I showed you a card with a single rose and what do I have for you today? Cards with single roses! Hah, nothing new there then! :D This time I used the 'Cottage Rose' stamp by Stampendous which I coloured with Distress Markers. I stamped the sentiments (by Papertrey Ink and Clearly Besotted respectively), matted the image onto some red cardstock and adhered it to the card base. And that was it, clean and simple again.
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Kivaa keskiviikkoa! :)

Yksinäinen ruusu - A lonely rose
Tein tämän kortin Simply Cards and Papercraft -lehden mukana tulleilla Clearly Besottedin leimoilla. Väritin ruusun ProMarkereilla ja leikkasin irti. Tekstileima on Papertrey Inkiä ja paperit Lili of the Valley'ä. Lisänä muutama paljetti ja vähän nyöriä. Jotain tämä kortti mielestäni jäi kaipaamaan, tuo ruusu taitaa olla aavistuksen liian pieni yksinään tuohon korttiin, joten jotain lisää siinä olisi voinut olla. Mutta eipä auta enää, tällainen tuli tästä ja seuraavaan korttiin sitten lisää härpäkettä ;D
I made this card using the free Clearly Besotted stamps that came with a previous issue of Simply Cards and Papercraft. I coloured the rose with ProMarkers and fussy cut it out. The sentiment stamp is by Papertrey Ink and the patterned papers are by Lili of the Valley. As embellies, there are some sequins and twine. I'm not totally pleased with this card, I think it's lacking something... I guess that rose stamp is just a tad too small for the card, it would have been better if there was something more on the card with it. Now it just looks lonely :D Well, that can't be helped now, I'll just have to leave it as is and call it a card, I guess.

Vauvakortteja - New baby cards
Tein vauvakortteja. Neljä kappaletta :D Tuli tehtyä, kun ostin tämän LOTV:n vauvaleimasimen kirpparilta ja se on niin suloinen, että tekisi mieli vain huokailla koko ajan, kun sitä katsoo :) Kaikki kortit tulivat aika lailla samalla kaavalla, Lili of the Valley'n Baby Blanket on siis tuo leimasin, väritykset Distress Inkien täyttöpulloilla, stanssaukset Simonin ommelstansseilla ja paperit taisivat olla Echo Parkia. Koristeina stanssattuja sydämiä, perhosia ja tähtiä, enamel dotseja ja nappeja.
I made a few 'new baby' cards. Well, I made four cards in total :D I just had to, I bought this cute Lili of the Valley stamp second hand and it's so darn cute, I just go 'awww' each time I see it :) The cards themselves are pretty straightforward, the stamp's called 'Baby Blanket' and I coloured the images with Distress Ink refills, and die cut them with a Simon Says Stamp stitched square die. The patterned papers are by Echo Park, and as embellies there are die cut butterflies, hearts and stars, some enamel dots and buttons.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: B is for... babies!
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Special Lady/Girly (the baby girl cards)

70
Anopillani on tässä kuussa synttärit ja tämä kortti juhlistaa hänen pyöreitä vuosiaan. Käytin korttiin Altenew'n ihanaa magnoliaa, jonka embossasin kullalla, vesiväritin Distress Inkeillä ja kiinnitin tarrapaloilla. Paperit ovat Lili of the Valley'ä, ympyrä on stanssattu Simonin stanssilla ja tuo kaareva reuna WPlus9:n Landscape Borders -setin stanssilla. Numerot ja teksti ovat ääriviivatarroja ja koristeina on muutama pieni paljetti.
My mother-in-law turns 70 this month and this card celebrates that. The gorgeous flower is stamped with a stamp from Altenew's Magnolias for Her set and heat embossed in gold. I fussy cut it, watercoloured with Distress Inks and attached with foam adhesives for a little dimension. The patterned papers are by Lili of the Valley, and there's some glittery gold cardstock for added sparkle. The circle is die cut with a Simon Says Stamp die and the rounded edge of the panel is die cut with a die from WPlus9 set 'Landscape Borders'. The numbers and the sentiment (it says 'congrats' in Finnish) are stickers and as embellies, there are some tiny sequins.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Special Lady/Girly
* Mojo Monday: Contest 387 - Sketch
* Altenew March Challenge: From Places Abroad (I was inspired by all three photos: Gold contours (embossing) from the first one, the gold on the pillars on the second photo, the coloured flowers against white background on the last photo)
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Suloista sunnuntaita! :)

Uudelleen vierailulla STAMPlorationsilla! - I'm a Guest Designer at STAMPlorations, again!
Edellisessä postauksessa mainitsemani kortti valittiin "Top Pickiksi" myös STAMPlorationsin tammikuun haasteessa (wohoo! :) ), joten sain kunnian olla guest designer myös tämänkertaisessa kuukausihaasteessa. Aiheena maaliskuulla on "Stamps and Stencil", eli sekä leimoja että sabluunoita pitäisi käyttää. Itse käytin tähän korttiin STAMPlorationsin ihanaa Bold Florals -sabluunaa ja kohokuvioin sillä tuon korttipohjan. Näin se näkyy ja antaa tekstuuria mutta ei vie liikaa huomiota tuolta kukkaselta, joka on STAMPlorationsin Bloom Sketches -setistä ja väritetty Polychromoksilla. Tekstileima on samaisesta setistä. Kiinnitin nuo paneelit kohotarroilla korttipohjaan, jotta sain vähän ekstraintressiä korttiin. Lisäksi kukkasen takana on hieman kultalankaa.
Remember the card I mentioned in my last post? Well, to my utter surprise, it was chosen as one of the 'Top Picks' for STAMPlorations January challenge as well (wohoo! :) ) and, therefore, I now have the huge honour of being a Guest Designer for STAMPlorations March challenge as well (talk about me being lucky!). The theme for March is 'Stamps and Stencil' and this is my card. I used the gorgeous 'Bold Florals' stencil as an embossing folder and ran it with my cardstock through my Cuttlebug to get beautiful texture on the card panel. This way the background also remained subtle enough so that it doesn't steal the limelight from the stamped (and fussy cut..) flower. The flower stamp is from 'Bloom Sketches' set, as is the sentiment, and I coloured the flower with my Polychromos pencils and added some gold thread behind it. I adhered the embossed panels onto my cardbase with foam adhesives for little added interest.
Jälleen kerran iso kiitos Sherylle STAMPlorationsilla ja koko design teamille siitä, että sain olla vierailulla. Erityiskiitos myös Nonnille, jonka STAMPlorations-leimoja ja -sabluunoita sain lainata!
Once again, a huge big thank you to Shery at STAMPlorations and to the whole design team for letting me be a guest designer for the March challenge - it's an honour! And a special thank you to Nonni who very kindly lent me some of her STAMPlorations goodies to play with :)

Vieraana STAMPlorationsilla! - I'm a guest designer at STAMPlorations!
Korttini valittiin yhdeksi "Top Pickiksi" STAMPlorationsin luonnoshaasteessa #26 ja sain siten kunnian olla guest designer tämänkertaisessa luonnoshaasteessa. Seurasin luonnosta melko tarkasti ja leimasin sen mukaisesti noita lehtiä STAMPlorationsin Trendy Leaves -setistä, musteina käytin Heron musteita Neon Green, Neon Blue ja Lemon Yellow. Tekstileima on STAMPlorationsin Bloom Sketches -setistä. Stanssasin paneelin Simon Says Stampin Stitched Rectangles -setin stanssilla, kiinnitin korttipohjaan ja lisäsin vain hieman mustaa scrapper's flossia koristeeksi. Simppeliä linjaa siis taas! :)
My card was chosen as one of the 'Top Picks' in STAMPlorations sketch challenge #26 and so I now have the honour of being one of the guest designers for the current sketch challenge (wohoo! :) ). For my card, I followed the sketch pretty closely and stamped the leaves from the 'Trendy Leaves' set by STAMPlorations accordingly. As inks, I used Hero Arts inks 'Neon Green', 'Neon Blue' and 'Lemon Yellow'. The sentiment comes from 'Bloom Sketches' set by STAMPlorations. I die cut the panel using 'Stitched Rectangles' die by Simon Says Stamp, adhered it to the card base and added some black scrapper's floss to finish the card.
Iso kiitos STAMPlorationsin suuntaan, että sain olla guest designer tässä haasteessa! Ja nyt kipin kapin osallistumaan haasteeseen!
A huge big thank you to Shery at STAMPlorations and all the ladies in the design team for having me as a guest designer, I had so much fun! :) And now, hop over to the STAMPlorations blog and join in the challenge!

40
Ystäväni täyttää tänään 40 ja tein hänelle tällaisen onnittelukortin. Yleensä en käytä tällaisia lapsihahmoisia leimoja aikuisten kortteihin, mutta tällä kertaa tein poikkeuksen, koska tämä pieni keijusiipinen typykkä jotenkin muistuttaa minua ystävästäni :) Typykän väritin Distress Markereilla ja -täyttöpulloilla, siipiin ja mekkoon lisäilin vähän kimalletta. Leimakuvan stanssasin Simonin stitched rectangles -setin stanssilla, kuviopaperin kulman taas WPlus9:n Landscape Borders -setin stanssilla ja numerot Timpan stanssilla. Kuviopaperit ovat Lili of the Valleytä, kuten leimakuvakin. Koristeena vain paperikukka ja helmi.
My friend turns 40 today and to congratulate her, I made her this card. Now I don't usually use stamps with child/child-like images for grown ups but this time I made an exception - this little fairy with her little wings just reminds me so much of my friend! :) I coloured the image ('Pom Pom Fairy' by Lili of the Valley) with Distress Markers and refills and added some Wink of Stella glitter pen to her wings and some Stickles to her dress for extra sparkle. I die cut the image using a stitched rectangle die by Simon Says Stamp. I also used 'Landscape Borders' die by WPlus9 to die cut the corner of the patterned paper and a Tim Holtz die to die cut the numbers. The patterned papers are by Lili of the Valley as well. As embellies, there's just a paper flower with a sticky back pearl.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Uniko Studios: Challenge #18 - Birthdays
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: No rules (anything goes)
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything goes
Toivottavasti tästä näkee hieman tuota kimallusta.
Hope you can see a bit of the sparkle in this close up.

Kukka ruudussa - Boxed bloom
Jatketaas kukkalinjalla. Tämä ihana kukkanen on STAMPlorationsin Boxed Blooms and Bold Sentiments -setistä, väritin sen Polychromoksilla ja kerrostin pariin kertaan kartongille. Sitten kiinnitys korttipohjaan, tekstin leimaus (niinikään STAMPlorationsia) ja muutama timantti päälle. Kulmien pyöristyksen jälkeen kortti oli valmis.
I've another flower card for you today. This gorgeous flower stamp is from 'Boxed Blooms and Bold Sentiments' set by STAMPlorations, I stamped it on some watercolour paper and coloured with Polychromos pencils. I then matted it onto some cardstock a couple of times and adhered to card base. The sentiment is also by STAMPlorations and comes from 'Bloom Sketches' set. I only added some rhinestones as embellies, rounded the corners and called it a card! :)

Blingiä! - Bling!
Maanantain piristeeksi vähän simppeliä blingiä! :) Embossasin kullalla Heron Leafy Vines -leiman ja Papertrey Inkin tekstileiman kartongille, kerrostin kultakimallekartongille ja kiinnitin korttipohjaan. Ja siinäpä se, simppeliä blingiä :)
I have a very clean and very simple card with lots of bling to show you today :) I used Hero Arts 'Leafy Vines' stamp for this one, I heat embossed it in gold as I did the sentiment (it's from a Papertrey Ink set). Then I cut the panel to size, layered it to the gold cardstock and then to the cardbase. And there you have it, a very clean, very simple and very bling card! :)

Höyheniä - Feathers
Hero Artsilla on meneillään luontoaiheinen haaste, johon ajattelin osallistua tällä kortilla. Käytin tähän Heron sulkaleimoja, joista isomman embossasin kullalla vellumille ja pienemmän valkoiselle kartongille. Kortin kanteen stanssasin Elegant Feathers -stanssilla sulanmuotoisen aukon ja kiinnitin ison sulan kortin sisäosaan. Pienemmän sulan kiinnitin osittain stanssatun aukon päälle. Tekstileima on Clearly Besottedia ja lisänä hieman nyöriä ja muutama pieni paljetti.
Hero Arts is hosting a Nature Challenge for which I made this card. I used the 'Feathers' stamps by Hero Arts and heat embossed the biggest one onto vellum with gold embossing powder and one of the smaller ones onto white cardstock. I used one of the 'Elegant Feathers' dies to die cut the opening onto the card front and adhered the big feather onto the inside of the card so that it peeks through the opening. The smaller feather is adhered slightly over the die cut opening. The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted, heat embossed in gold. As embellies, there are some small sequins and a piece of twine.
Tässä kortti sisältä.
Here's what the card looks like on the inside.

Leija - Kite
Lawnscaping-haasteella on menossa synttärihaaste sadannen haasteen kunniaksi ja tehtävänä on siis tehdä juhlan kunniaksi synttärikortti. Minä juhlin tällaisella kortilla :) Leimasin siihen tuon ihanan leijan Lawn Fawnin Sunny Skies -setistä ja väritin sen Distress Markereilla. Tekstileima on Tiddly Inksiä. Stanssasin leimakuvan Simon Says Stampin Stitched Rectangles -setin stanssilla ja kiinnitin korttipohjaan. Kovasti yritin lisäillä siihen jos jonkilaista koristetta, mutta en vain saanut sopimaan. Alkaa jo hieman hirvittää, tuleeko korteistani jo liiankin karuja ja yksinkertaisia... No, eipä auta, tällä juhlitaan! :)
There's birthday celebration going on at the Lawnscaping Challenge - congrats on 100th challenge! :) I'm celebrating with this card :) I used the lovely kite from the Sunny Skies set by Lawn Fawn, stamped it onto watercolour paper and coloured with Distress Markers. The sentiment is a Tiddly Inks stamp (I didn't have any suitable from Lawn Fawn). I used a Stitched Rectangle die from Simon Says Stamp to die cut the panel, and then just adhered it to the card base. I tried and tried adding all kinds of embellishments to this card but nothing seemed to suit it - I'm kind of worried this is just a little bit too clean and simple (boring?) for a celebratory card but I'll go with it anyway. Hope you like it! :)

Sinä olet aurinko - You are my sun*
Tein eilisen ystävänpäivän kunniaksi kortit elämäni miehille. Tämä ensimmäinen oli miehelleni, embossasin siihen mustalla Lawn Fawnin auringon ja väritin sen ProMarkereilla (erittäin taidokas ja aikaavievä väritys, kuten näkyy... ;D ). Tekstileima on myös Lawn Fawnia, jätin siitä vain sunshine-sanan pois. Stanssaus on Simon Says Stampin ommelstanssilla ja sitten vain kiinnitys korttipohjaan.
It was Valentine's Day yesterday so I gave cards to the most important men in my life. This first one was for my husband. I heat embossed the sun (from Lawn Fawn's 'Sunny Skies' set) in black and coloured it with ProMarkers. Then I stamped the sentiment, it's from the same Lawn Fawn set and it actually says 'You are my sunshine' but I left the last word out. I did the diecutting with Simon Says Stamp's stitch edged die and adhered the panel to my card base.
Haaste/Challenge:
* CASology: Week 133 - LOVE
Tämä toinen kortti meni esikoiselle. Käytin siihen Tiddly Inksin sankaria, jonka väritin Polychromoksilla ja kiinnitin tarrapaloilla. Taustan tein Tim Holtzin sabluunalla ja Distress Inkeillä. Tekstileimat ovat FinnStamperin ja lisänä vain sydännapit.
This next card was for our eldest son. I used the superhero from a Tiddly Inks stamp set, coloured him with Polychromos pencils and adhered with foam adhesives. I made the background with a Tim Holtz stencil and some Distress Inks. I used two different sentiments in this card, and together, translated loosely, they say 'Have a lovely day friend'. As embellies, I used some heart shaped buttons.
Tämä viimeinen kortti meni kuopukselle. Käytin siihen DoodleFactoryn ampparia, jonka väritin ProMarkereilla ja siipiin lisäsin vähän Wink of Stellaa. Taustalle stanssasin huovasta sydämen Sizzixin stanssilla. Taustapaperi taitaa olla Echo Parkia, lisänä FinnStamperin tekstileima, sydännappi ja muutama Liquid Pearls -tippa.
This last card was for our youngest son. I used the sweet bee from DoodleFactory for this card, I coloured him with ProMarkers and added some clear Wink of Stella for his wings. I die cut the blue heart out of felt with a Sizzix die, added the sentiment (it says 'Hugs' in Finnish), a heart shaped button and some Liquid Pearls dots. The patterned paper is by Echo Park.

Tulppaaneja - Tulips
Kun näin tämänkertaisen CAS(E) this Sketch! -haasteen luonnoksen, ajattelin tämän STAMPlorationsin tulppaanileiman olevan täydellinen siihen. Leimasin siis tulppaanit tuohon kulmaan, maskasin osittain ja leimasin muutaman tulppaanin lisää tuohon reunaan, että sain tulppaanirivin loppumaan nätisti. Väritin kukat Polychromoksilla, leimasin tekstileiman (sekin STAMPlorationsia) ja kiinnitin paneelin valkoiselle korttipohjalle tarrapaloilla. Jälkiajatuksena lisäsin vielä nuo puolihelmet, mutta en tiedä, oliko se yhtään hyvä idea...
When I saw the sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch!, I thought this gorgeous tulip stamp by STAMPlorations would be perfect for it. So I stamped it once, masked it and then stamped a few more tulips so that the row of tulips would end nicely. I coloured the flowers with Polychromos pencils, and stamped the sentiment (it's a STAMPlorations stamp as well). Then I adhered the panel onto white card blank with foam adhesives, and as an afterthought I added the sticky back pearls. Not sure it was a good idea though...

Saniainen - Fern
Olen jotenkin äärimmäisen ihastunut tähän die cut inlay -tekniikkaan, niitä on kiva näpertää ja lopputulos on yleensä näyttävä. Tällä kertaa näpersin Penny Blackin Fresh Breeze -stanssilla stanssatun saniaisen tuohon korttiin, lisäilin muutaman timantin ja Papertrey Inkin tekstin vellumille ja kortti oli sillä selvä. Kuvasta ei ehkä ihan täysin näy, mutta tuossa on kolmea eri vihreää kartonkia: saniainen on vaalein, korttipohja sitä asteen tummempi ja tummin on tuo pieni reunus valkoisen reunoilla. Kaikki kartongit ovat Papermanian kartonkia, jonka tekstuuripinta tuo mielestäni kivan pienen lisän kortin ulkonäköön.
I really like the die cut inlay technique, it usually gives lovely results and it's fun to make them. I used that technique here with the gorgeous 'Fresh Breeze' die by Penny Black. I only added a few rhinestones to the ferns and the sentiment (by Papertrey Ink) stamped on a strip of vellum, and called it a card :) You can't really tell from the picture, but there are three different greens on the card: the fern is the lightest green, the cardbase is slightly darker, and those thin strips of cardstock on the edges of the white panel are the darkest green. All cardstock is by Papermania, I love their textured cardstocks as I think they add a little interest to cards.

Ilmapallo - Balloon
Minulla on ollut tämä suloinen pupuleima jo hetken aikaa, mutta käytin sitä ensimmäisen kerran tähän korttiin. En oikein osaa päättää, onko tuo pupu iloinen pupu vai surullinen pupu vai vain jotenkin reppana pupu, joten en myöskään osaa päättää, millaisiin kortteihin se oikein sopisi. Josko tällaiseen ikävöimiskorttiin nyt ainakin... Tästä tuli täysin one layer -kortti, taittelin korttipohjan akvarellipaperista, leimasin siihen tuon pupun (Stampotiquen Upward Bound), vesiväritin Distress Markereilla ja leimasin tekstileiman (Simon Says Stampin setistä). Ja siinäpä se, taas kerran :)
I've had this sweet bunny stamp for a while already but this is the first time I use it. I can't really decide whether it is a happy bunny or a sad bunny or what, so I can't decide on what kinds of cards to use it. I guess it suits 'missing you' cards at least.. This is totally a one layer card, I folded the card base from aquarelle paper, stamped the bunny (it's 'Upward Bound' by Stampotique), watercoloured it with Distress Markers and stamped the sentiment (from a stamp set by Simon Says Stamp).

Kukkasia - Softly
Käytin tähän korttiin Penny Blackin ihanaa Softly-leimaa, jonka embossasin valkoisella kraftin väriselle kartongille ja väritin Polychromoksilla. Tekstileima on Simon Says Stampia ja niinikään embossattu valkoisella. Stanssasin paneelin Simon Says Stampin ommelstanssilla ja kiinnitin kermanväriselle korttipohjalle. Sitten lisäilin vielä pieniä pisteitä kukkaseen valkoisella geelikynällä. Eipä siihen muuta tällä(kään) kertaa tullut :)
I love this stamp by Penny Black! It's called 'Softly' and I think it's so pretty and elegant. For this card, I heat embossed it with white embossing powder onto kraft cardstock and coloured it with Polychromos pencils. I added little dots around the flower with white gel pen to accentuate it. The sentiment (from a Simon Says Stamp stamp set) is also heat embossed in white. I die cut the panel with Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangles die and adhered it to cream cardbase. And that's it really, a little CAS card! :)
