Penny Black First Snow: Sweet Sledder

Here's a new card I made with a new stamp from the latest Penny Black release. This one is called Sweet Sledder and I think it is such a cute stamp. I decided to colour the image with my watercolours, I also sponged some Distress Oxide ink to the image and added falling snow. I then die cut the panel with Leaf Stitched Frames die, matted the panel onto grey cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the new sentiment set Winter Chill. For the background, I used some patterned papers from the Wintertime paper pad. I embellished the card with a die cut snowflake (Polar Pair) and added a blue rhinestone in the middle of it.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenge:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes




All stamps, dies and patterned papers used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:
* Sweet Sledder (30-647)
* Winter Chill (30-627)
* Polar Pair (51-568)
* Leaf Stitched Frames (51-552)
* Wintertime (80-012)





Tällainen kortti syntyi uudella Penny Black -leimalla Sweet Sledder. Väritin sen vesiväreillä, mustetin Distress Oxide -musteella ja lisäilin hieman lumisadetta kuvaan. Stanssasin paneelin Leaf Stitched Frames -setin stanssilla ja leimasin tekstileiman setistä Winter Chill. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia Wintertime-paperikosta ja koristelin kortin Polar Pair -stanssilla stanssaamallani lumihiutaleella.

Snowy village - Luminen kylä

A snowy little village for Christmas :) For this Christmas card, I used the little village from Ready, Set, Snow stamp set by Lawn Fawn which I coloured with my Copics. I created a window by die cutting the white panel with an MFT die and adhering blue cardstock behind it. I then attached the village in place and added falling snow with my white gel pen. I stamped my sentiment (which says 'Merry Christmas') before adhering the panel onto my card base.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #369 - CAS
* Perfectly CAS: Challenge #3 - Christmas




Tähän joulukorttiin pääsi luminen kylä Lawn Fawnin setistä Ready, Set, Snow. Väritin sen Copiceilla. Ikkunan stanssasin MFT:n stanssilla ja kiinnitin sen taakse sinistä kartonkia, johon lisäsin lumisadetta valkoisella geelikynällä. Sitten kiinnitin kylän paikoilleen ja leimasin tekstileiman ennen kuin kiinnitin paneelin korttipohjaan.

Penny Black First Snow: Conifer Wreath

Here's a Christmas card using one of the new stamps from the latest Penny Black release called First Snow. The stamp is Conifer Wreath, I heat embossed it in gold and watercoloured the image. I then sponged some Distress Oxide ink to the edges of the panel before splattering it with gold spray (I used my watercolour brush for the splattering). I die cut the word 'joy' out of glittery gold cardstock using Penny Black die Merry and Joy and adhered it in place. I then matted the panel onto dark brown cardstock before adhering it onto kraft coloured card base. Lastly, I embellished the card using gold sequins.

Christmas Roses - Jouluruusut

This gorgeous image is a stamp by Stampendous called Christmas Roses. I stamped it three times across the top of the die cut panel (die cut with Penny Black's Leaf Stitched Frames) and coloured it with my Copic markers. I then stamped the sentiment (it says '(Wishing You) Peaceful Christmas Time' in Finnish) before adhering it to my dark red card base. Lastly, I embellished the card with clear sequins.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenge:
* Stamping Sensations: November - Traditional Christmas Colours (I used red and green)




Tämä ihana leimakuva on Stampendousin Christmas Roses, leimasin sen itse asiassa kolme kertaa stanssatun paneelin yläosaan (paneeli stanssattu Penny Blackin Leaf Stitched Frames -stanssilla) ja väritin sen Copiceilla. Leimasin tekstin ja kiinnitin paneelin korttipohjaan ennen kuin koristelin kortin kirkkailla paljeteilla.

Peaceful Christmas Time - Rauhaisaa Joulunaikaa

Now I know this is not a Christmas stamp per se and I didn't even use traditional Christmas colours to colour it but still I decided to make a Christmas card with it. The stamp I used is Grateful for Everything by Concord&9th and I coloured it with my watercolours before sponging the edges with some Distress Oxide ink and adding splatters of gold to it. I then stamped my sentiment (it says 'Peaceful Christmas Time') and matted the panel onto dark brown cardstock before tying a bit of twine around it. Lastly, I adhered the matted panel onto my cardbase.

* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #368 - Holiday

Tämä leimasin ei varsinaisesti ole joululeimasin eivätkä väritkään jouluväreihin mene, mutta tein tästä silti joulukortin :) Leimakuva on Concord&9th:n Grateful for Everything ja väritin sen vesiväreillä, mustetin paneelin reunat Distress Oxide -musteella ja roiskin päälle kultaa. Sitten vain tekstileima, kerrostus tummanruskealle kartongille, nyöriä rusetille ja korttipohjaan kiinni.

Penny Black First Snow: Wintry Whites

I guess it's no secret that I love floral stamps and this one from the new release by Penny Black is no exception. It's called Wintry Whites and it's so delicate and beautiful! I stamped it onto kraft cardstock and coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils. I then softly inked the edges of the panel with white ink. To create the frame, I die cut white cardstock with Stitched Stackers die and adhered the stamped panel onto it before attaching it to the card base. I heat embossed the sentiment from the same Wintry Whites set onto a strip of dark brown cardstock and attached it in place. Lastly, I embellished the card with white sticky back pearls.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenge:

Penny Black First Snow: Starlight

A pink Christmas card? Well, why not! Pink is my colour of the day with this Christmas card I made with new stamps from the new Penny Black release called First Snow. The stamp I used is called Starlight. I stamped it with black Memento ink avoiding the stars, coloured it with my Copics, and stamped it again, this time I inked only the stars with Versamark ink and heat embossed them in white. I also sponged some pink Distress Oxide ink on it so that the white stars would pop more. The frame I used is die cut with Snowflake Frame die, you get this small frame if you do not separate the two dies from each other. For the background, I used some patterned paper from Holiday Trimming paper pad and also embellished the card with a die cut (Burlap Edge). The sentiment comes from another stamp set called Sweet Sledder.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Starry Starry Night
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: November - Anything Goes
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #368 - Holiday



All the products used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:

* Sweet Sledder (30-647)

* Holiday Trimming (80-013)





Pinkki joulukortti syntyi tällä uudella Penny Black -leimalla, jonka nimi on Starlight. Leimasin sen ensin mustalla Mementolla niin, että mustetin vain karhun ja siilin ja väritin ne Copiceilla. Sitten leimasin uudestaan, tällä kertaa Versamarkilla ja niin, että mustetin vain tähdet, minkä jälkeen embossasin ne valkoisella. Lopuksi levitin Distress Oxide -mustetta leimakuvaan niin, että valkoiset tähdet näkyvät paremmin. Kehys on stanssattu Snowflake Frame -stanssilla, vyöte taas Burlap Edge -stanssilla. Tekstileima on setistä Sweet Sledder ja taustapaperi on Holiday Trimming -paperikosta. Kaikki käytetyt tuotteet ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Congratulating you - Sinua onnitellen

Decided to make a birthday card with one of my new Stamping Bella stamps, this one is from the set Straight Up Floral. I coloured the image with my Copic markers and cut the panel before stamping my sentiment (it says 'Congratulating you' in Finnish). I matted the panel onto black cardstock and did the same for the piece of patterned paper in the background. After I had attached everything in place, I added some clear sequins to embellish the card.

Floral therapy - Kukkaterapiaa

It's so grey and dreary outside that I needed to make a floral card to cheer myself up. The stamp I used is Floral Forest Backdrop by Stamping Bella and I coloured the image with my Copic markers. I heat embossed the sentiment ('For you' in Finnish) on a strip of dark brown cardstock which I embellished with a simple bow. I matted the panel first onto dark brown cardstock and then onto pink and added some clear sequins as embellishments.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:

Christmas Wreath - Joulukranssi

I made a quick little Christmas card with Natural Beauties set by Paper Smooches. I know it's not really a Christmas stamp set but I thought this little wreath with added pinecones and berries would make a lovely Christmas wreath. I coloured the images with my Copics and die cut them out. I also die cut the frame with Paper Smooches' Fused Frame die. The sentiment is by Penny Black, this one was dainty enough to fit inside the frame. I matted the white linen textured panel onto some dark brown cardstock and attached everything in place before embellishing the card with some clear sequins.

The snow globe is from the set Cozy Nigts, I coloured it with my Copics as well and die cut it out with its matching die.

To decorate the inside of the globe, I die cut some frosty grass with Garden Edgers die and added snowflakes, one is stamped with a stamp from Festive Frolic set and two are debossed with a die that comes with the Snowflake Frame die. I also added a rhinestone to each of the snowflake and tied a bit of baker's twine into a bow to decorate the snow globe.

For the background I used the Snowflake Frame die (which I love!!), I die cut it once out of cream cardstock and then the second time out of green cardstock so that I could get that little "frame in a frame" in green. I also used some patterned paper from the paper pad Wintertime. The sentiment I used is from the set Thrill of Hope, I heat embossed it onto a strip of vellum.

It's November and time for a new challenge at AAA Birthday. This time we're asking you to 'Include a Number' in your birthday card.

My Mum needed a birthday card for her friend who turned 75 and so I made her this card. The stamp I used is by Stampendous and it's called Timeless Rose. I coloured it with my watercolours and sponged some Distress Oxide ink on the edges of the panel. I then stamped my sentiment and added the numbers with peel-off stickers before matting the panel onto brown cardstock. I also used a piece of patterned paper behind the panel. Lastly, I embellished the card with some gold sequins.

Äitini tarvitsi synttärikortin ystävälleen, joka täytti 75 vuotta, joten tein tämän kortin hänelle. Leimakuvana käytin Stampendousin ihanaa Timeless Rose -leimaa, jonka väritin vesiväreillä. Paneelin reunat mustetin Distress Oxide -musteella, leimasin tekstileiman ja kerrostin paneelin ruskealle kartongille. Taustalle käytin kuviopaperia. Lopuksi koristelin kortin kultapaljeteilla.

Penny Black First Snow: Joy

Oh joy! Penny Black has released new Christmas/winter themed stamps and dies and they are beautiful! I couldn't wait to use the new Festive Frolic stamp set and created a Christmas card with this sweet little kitty. I coloured him with my Copic markers and die cut him out with the matching die. I also added a bit of Nuvo glitter gloss pen to the white parts of the kitty's hat but unfortunately it doesn't really show in the photos.. I then die cut the word 'joy' out of red cardstock with Jumbo Joy die and decided to replace the O with the kitty. I ended up die cutting the letters and the kitty out of light grey cardstock a couple of times and stacking them on top of each other so that they became a bit bulkier and stand out from the background a bit more. The white frame that I used in the background is die cut with Snowflake Frame die (you get that little die cut frame if you do not separate the dies from each other but use them while they're still attached to each other). Lastly, I embellished the card with some clear sequins.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Watercooler Wednesday: WWC245 - Anything Goes
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
* Time Out Challenges: Inspired by Words 'Dream Big, Be Grateful, Give Love, Laugh Lots' (I was inspired by Laugh Lots, to me that equals joy)
* Cute Card Thursday: Challenge 606 - Christmas/Holidays








All stamps and dies used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:
* Festive Frolic (30-630)
* Festive Frolic Cut Out (51-582)
* Jumbo Joy (51-572)
* Snowflake Frame (51-565)




Penny Blackiltä on tullut uusia jouluisia/talvisia leimoja ja stansseja ja tässä ensimmäinen korttini niillä. Kisulainen on setistä Festive Frolic, väritin sen Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Lisäsin vähän glitter-kynää hatun valkoisiin osiin, mutta se ei oikein kuvissa näy.. Sanan 'joy' stanssasin Jumbo Joy -stanssilla ja päätin korvata o:n kisuliinilla. Stanssasin sekä kirjaimet että kissan useampaan otteeseen harmaasta kartongista ja liimasin ne päällekkäin, näin niistä tuli paksumpia ja vähän paremmin erottuvia. Taustan kehyksen stanssasin Snowflake Frame -stanssilla, tuo kehys tulee "kaupan päälle", kun setin stansseja ei irrota toisistaan. Lopuksi koristelin kortin muutamalla kirkkaalla paljetilla. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ja stanssit ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.
