Cats - Kissat

Let's face it - colouring animals is definitely not my forté! LOL! But I do love this stamp by Stamping Bella :) It's called Squishy Cats and I coloured it with my Copics and fussy cut the part beneath the cats off. I replaced it with some patterned paper and added a die cut sentiment by Winnie and Walter. I embellished the card with some enamel dots.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Less Is More: Challenge #406 - Colour - Rainbow
* CAS on Sunday: Challenge #166 - Big Sentiment or Word
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #364 - CAS




Eläinten värittäminen ei ole vahvin lajini, mutta tämä Stamping Bellan Squishy Cats on niin ihana, että pakkohan sitä oli yrittää! Väritin kissakasan Copiceilla ja leikkasin alareunaa pitkin irti. Lisäsin hieman kuviopaperia, Winnie and Walterin stanssilla stanssatun tekstin ja enamel dotseja.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Oh Deer

I love the elegance of this deer so I tried my best to create an elegant card around him. The deer is from the new stamp set Oh Deer by Penny Black, I stamped him onto a panel of Copic friendly cardstock and coloured him with my Copics. I also added some tiny details to him with my white gel pen. I wanted to keep the panel feeling CAS so I left it white and added some snowflakes with the snowflakes that come with the Snowflake Frame die. They imprint the image of the snowflake into the cardstock instead of die cutting anything. I also added sentiment using the Merry Builder stamp set. For the side of the panel I used some kraft cardstock and patterned paper from Wintertime paper pad. Lastly, I embellished my card with a die cut snowflake that I die cut with Polar Pair die and added a sticky back pearl to the center of the snowflake.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: October - Anything Goes
* Allsorts Challenge: Week 541 - Add Spots and/or Stripes (spots on the patterned paper)
* Happy Little Stampers: October Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes




All products used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:
* Oh Deer (30-611)
* Merry Builder (30-619)
* Polar Pair (51-568)
* Snowflake Frame (51-565)
* Wintertime (80-012)




Tämä joulukortti syntyi Penny Blackin uudella Oh Deer -leimasetillä, josta leimasin tuon peuran ja väritin Copiceilla. Lisäilin peuraan hieman valkoista geelikynääkin. Taustan halusin pitää CAS-tyylisenä, joten jätin sen valkoiseksi ja lisäilin siihen lumihiutaleita. Käytin niihin lumihiutaleita, jotka tulevat Snowflake Frame -stanssin mukana, ne eivät stanssaa vaan painavat korttipohjaan lumihiutalekuvion. Teksti on Merry Builder -setistä. Lisäsin kortin reunaan kuviopaperia Wintertime-paperikosta ja koristelin kortin Polar Pair -stanssilla stanssatulla lumihiutaleella, jonka keskustaan lisäsin yhden helmen. Käytetyt tuotteet ovat siis kaikki Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Sending Sunshine - Auringonpaistetta lähettämässä

I played with my new stamps today and made this card. It turned out a bit summery but I for one miss summer already so a bit of sunshine-y happiness won't go amiss! The stamp set I used is Sunflower Sweetheart by My Favorite Things. I coloured the images with my Copics and die cut them out. I die cut the frame with MFT's Stitched Rectangle Scallop Edge Frames die and placed some patterned paper behind it before stamping the sentiment. I added a bit of twine in a bow as embellishment before adhering the panel onto cardbase.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #362 - Make Your Mark
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge 146 - Encouraging
* Just Add Ink: #478 - Just Add 'H' (my H stands for hat and happiness)




Tämä kortti syntyi tänään uusilla leimoillani. Hieman kesäinenhän se on, mutta itse ainakin kaipaan jo kesää niin, että tällainen aurinkoinen kortti on tarpeen! Käyttämäni leimat ovat MFT:n Sunflower Sweetheart -setistä, väritin ne Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Reunus on myös MFT:n stanssilla stanssattu. Koristeeksi laitoin hieman nyöriä ennen kuin kiinnitin paneelin korttipohjaan.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Winter Garden

I absolutely love this stamp! It's a gorgeous new stamp from Penny Black called Winter Garden and it is such a joy to colour! I coloured the image with my Copics and added some gold splatters on it. I then cut the panel down to size and rounded the corners with a corner chomper before adhering it to cardbase (I added couple of extra layers of cardstock behind the panel so that it is slightly raised from the cardbase). I die cut the word Merry with Merry and Joy die out of glittery gold cardstock, I also die cut the word out of black cardstock a couple of times and adhered them behind the glitter cardstock so that the die cut word would be a bit raised and stand out a bit more.  I embellished the card with some glittery gold enamel dots.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: October - Anything Goes
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #362 - Make Your Mark
* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC242 - All About Occasions
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Christmas
* Uniko: Challenge #55 - Anything Goes






All stamps and dies used are by Penny Black and from their latest collection called Merry and Joy. They're available in the Penny Black online store:
* Winter Garden (40-711)
* Merry and Joy (51-586)




Tämä Penny Blackin uusi leima Winter Garden on ihana värittää! Väritin sen Copiceilla ja roiskin perään vähän kultaroiskeita. Paneelin leikkasin irti ja pyöristin kulmat corner chomperilla. Laitoin paneelin taakse pari ylimääräistä kerrosta kartonkia niin, että sain paneelin vähän koholleen. Merry-sanan stanssasin Merry and Joy -stanssilla kultaisesta kartongista ja muutaman kerran mustasta ja kerrostin ne päällekkäin niin, että sain tekstin hieman koholle. Lopuksi koristelin kortin muutamalla kultaisen kimaltavalla enamel dotsilla. Käytetyt leimat ja stanssit ovat Penny Blackin uudesta kokoelmasta Merry and Joy ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Poinsettia Poem

Poinsettias for Christmas! This lovely poinsettia stamp is called Poinsettia Poem and it's one of the new Christmas stamps by Penny Black. I coloured the image with my watercolours and added just a little bit more colour to it with my Polychromos coloured pencils. I also added some gold splatters to it. I then cut a panel out of green cardstock and die cut an opening to it with Stitched Circles die and adhered the panel in place. I die cut the word 'Merry' out of gold cardstock with Merry and Joy die and adhered it to place. I completed the sentiment with a stamp from the set Merry Builder. As a finishing touch, I added some gold sequins.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenge:
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #362 - Make Your Mark



All stamps and dies used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:
* Poinsettia Poem (40-700)

Joulutähtiä on tässä joulukortissa. Leimakuva on Penny Blackin Poinsettia Poem, väritin sen vesiväreillä ja lisäsin vähän väriä Polychromos-kynillä. Muutaman kultaroiskeenkin lisäsin. Paneelin leikkasin vihreästä kartongista ja siihen stanssasin aukon Stitched Circles -setin stanssilla ja kiinnitin paneelin paikalleen. Merry-sanan stanssasin kultakartongista Merry and Joy -setin stanssilla ja täydensin tekstin leimalla Merry Builder -setistä. Lopuksi lisäsin muutaman kultaisen paljetin.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Pinecone Perch

I made a Christmas card with this sweet little stamp by Penny Black. It's from their newest collection called Merry and Joy and it is called Pinecone Perch. I coloured the image with my Copics but as I don't have a reddish brown Copic, I added a bit of coloured pencil to the bird's chest just to make it look a bit more red. I also added accents with my white Gelly Roll pen. I then very lightly sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Antique Linen to the upper left corner of the image and stamped the sentiment which is from the new sentiment set Merry Builder. I die cut the frame with Snowflake Frame die first from red cardstock and then from gold cardstock so that I was able to get the little gold frame too. I cut half of the gold frame off though just to add a bit more visual interest. Finally I attached everything in place and added some tiny gold sequins to embellish the card.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: October - Anything Goes
* Happy Little Stampers: October Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes




All stamps and dies used are by Penny Black and from their new Christmas collection Merry and Joy. They're available at the Penny Black online store:
* Pinecone Perch (30-617)
* Merry Builder (30-619)
* Snowflake Frame (51-565)




Joulukorttia pukkaa, tämä on tehty Penny Blackin uudella Pinecone Perch -leimalla. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla, mutta koska minulla ei ole ruskehtavan punaista Copicia, lisäsin ruskehtavaa punaista linnun rintaan värikynillä. Lisäksi lisäilin hieman valkoista Gelly Roll -kynää sinne tänne leimakuvaan. Kehyksen stanssasin Snowflake Frame -stanssilla, ensin punaisesta ja sitten kultaisesta kartongista, näin sain tuon pienen kultaisen kehyksen myös. Sen tosin leikkasin kahtia ja käytin vain puolikasta. Tekstileima on Merry Builder -setistä. Koristeina muutama pieni kultainen paljetti. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ja stanssit ovat Penny Blackin uudesta Merry and Joy -joulukokoelmasta ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: All The Trimmings

I'm on a good roll with my Christmas cards - here's a new one! For this card, I used the new stamp set by Penny Black called All The Trimmings. I used two stamps from the set on this card and heat embossed them in gold before watercolouring them. I also heat embossed the sentiment, it's from the new set Thrill of Hope. Then I sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Antique Linen to the edges of the panel before adhering the panel first to red cardstock and then to my kraft coloured cardbase. Lastly, I added some gold sequins to embellish the card.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Let's Get Ready for Christmas
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes







All the stamps used are by Penny Black and from their newest collection called Merry and Joy. Here are clickable links to the products in the Penny Black online store:
* All The Trimmings (30-618)
* Thrill of Hope (30-616)




Joulukortit jatkuu! Tämän tein Penny Blackin uudella leimasetillä All The Trimmings. Käytin setistä kahta eri leimaa ja embossasin ne kultaisella jauheella, jonka jälkeen väritin ne vesiväreillä. Tekstileimankin embossasin, se on setistä Thrill of Hope. Sen jälkeen mustetin paneelin reunoja Distress Oxide -musteen sävyllä Antique Linen ja kiinnitin paneelin ensin punaiselle kartongille ja sen jälkeen korttipohjaan. Lopuksi koristelin kortin muutamalla kullanvärisellä paljetillä. Käytetyt leimat ovat siis Penny Blackin uudesta kokoelmasta Merry and Joy ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit leimoihin yllä.
