Vaihteeksi näytille kortti, johon olen itse todella tyytyväinen :) Tein korttipohjan ja tuon paneelin Papermanian tekstuuripintaisesta kartongista ja maskasin paneelin osittain post-it -lapuilla. Maskaamattoman osan mustetin Distress Inkeillä ja embossasin päälle kullalla Penny Blackin ihanan All You Need... -leiman, tekstileima on Papertrey Inkiä ja niinikään embossattu. Lisänä hieman kultaista narua ja lopulta paneelin kiinnitys kohotarroilla. Jos tarkkaan katsot, näet leimakuvan ympärillä irtohiukkasia embossausjauhetta - onnistunut virhe! :D Distress Inkit olivat vielä hieman kosteita, kun embossasin tuon Pennyn leiman ja siihen tarttui embossausjauhetta. Kiroilin aluksi kuin merimies, kun huomasin sen (tai siis, kröhöm, olisin kiroillut kuin merimies, jos kiroilisin... kröhöm... ;D ) mutta hetken sitä katseltuani, se alkoikin näyttää ihan kivalta, kuin keijupölyltä (tai siitepölyltä, jos haluaa järkevämmän selityksen ;) ), joten loppuvaiheessa lisäilin embossausjauhetta leimakuvan ympärille ja embossasin kiinni. Ja edelleen se näyttää mielestäni kivalta :)
I'm quite pleased with how this card turned out (that doesn't happen too often, I have to say). The cardbase and the panel is textured white cardstock by Papermania. I masked part of the panel with post-it notes and inked the unmasked part with Distress Inks, then I heat embossed the gorgeous 'All You Need...' stamp by Penny Black with gold tinsel embossing powder. The sentiment (from a PTI set) is heat embossed as well. Then I added some gold string and adhered the panel with foam adhesives. If you look closely, you'll see some loose flakes of embossing powder around the stamped image - that's a happy accident! :) The Distress Inks were still a bit wet when I applied the embossing powder to the stamped image, so loose flakes stuck to the Distress Inks. When I noticed this, I swore like a sailor (I'm glad you couldn't hear me... ;) ) because I thought I had to bin the card but when I looked at it a while, it started to look nice. The loose flakes look like fairy dust (or pollen, if you prefer being more rational ;) ) and I think it was nice so I even added a bit more embossing powder around the image and heat embossed them. I don't know about you, but I kinda like it! :)

Sydämiä ystävälle - Hearts for a friend
Tein jokusen ystävänpäiväkortin ja kuinka ollakaan, niistäkin tuli pyöreitä! :D Ympyrästanssit ovat sekä My Favorite Thingsiä että Lifestyle Craftsiä, taustan sydämet on leimattu Penny Blackin Hearts All Over -leimalla, embossattu valkoisella ja sitten mustetettu Distress Inkeillä. Sydämen stanssasin Sizzixin stanssilla ja leimasin siihen Heron Friend Definition -leimalla ja valkoisella musteella. Tekstileima on FinnStamperia ja leimattu vellumille, lisänä ihuna nappi ja nyöriä.
While in most countries that celebrate Valentine's Day, it is celebrated as a day for love and lovers, in Finland, however, it is known as a day to celebrate friends and friendship. Why am I explaining this to you? Because I made Valentine's Day cards for my friends and I don't want you to get the wrong impression - ha ha! ;D I wanted to make them bright and cheerful, so I used bright and happy colours, and naturally they're round - my favourite card shape of the moment! I stamped the hearts in the background with a Penny Black stamp ('Hearts All Over') and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. Then I sponged the background with Distress Inks. I die cut the heart with a Sizzix die and stamped on it with Hero Arts' 'Friend Definition' background stamp and white Hero Arts ink. The sentiment, stamped on vellum, says 'For a Friend' in Finnish. As embellies, there's a cute button and some May Arts twine.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #23 - Valentine's Day with the optional twist of hearts
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything goes

Yllätys, yllätys - Surprise, surprise
...ympyräkorttihan se taas! :D Tykkään näistä ympyriäisistä korteista, ovat jotenkin mukava malli tehdä. Tähän leikkasin nuo ympyrät My Favorite Thingsin stansseilla, paperit ovat sälälaatikosta ja leimakuva leimattu ja leikattu Heron+Sizzixin kombolla ja väritetty Polychromoksilla. Lisänä vähän May Artsin narua ja muutama helmi.
...it's yet another circle card! :D I just like these circle shaped cards so much, I can't seem to resist making them. For this card, I die cut the circles with My Favorite Things dies. The stamped image is stamped and die cut with a Hero Arts/Sizzix stamp and die and coloured with Polychromos pencils. The patterned papers are from my box of leftover papers, and I just added some May Arts twine and some sticky back pearls.

Joulukortti!? - A Christmas card!?
Ehei, en ole aloittanut joulukorttirumbaa vielä tälle vuodelle (vaikka ajatuksissa se onkin jo pyörinyt..), tämä on viime vuoden joulukortteja ja löytyi blogin luonnoksista, joten ajattelin nyt kuitenkin laittaa sen näkyville. Kortissa ei sinänsä mitään ihmeellistä ole, leimat ja niiden stanssit ovat Clearly Besottedia, väritys on (muistaakseni) Distress Markereita, paperit ovat Lili of the Valley'ä. Leimakuvan taustalla on palanen kohokuvioitua vellumia ja hieman kultalankaa. Tekstileima on FinnStamperin ja kullalla embossattu.
Oh no, I have not started making my Christmas cards for this year yet - this is one of last year's Christmas cards which I never got round to showing you, so I'm doing it now :) It's a fairly simple card, the stamps and dies used are by Clearly Besotted, I coloured the image with Distress Markers. There's a piece of dry embossed vellum behind the flower basket, as well as some golden thread. The patterned papers are by Lili of the Valley, and the sentiment ('Merry Christmas' in Finnish) is heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Mukavaa päivää! :)
Thanks for your visit and for any comment you may wish to leave me. Have a fab day! :)

Moro moro - Hello hello hello
Tässä kortissa olen käyttänyt roppakaupalla uusia leimasimia :) Sain Nonnilta joululahjaksi ensimmäiset STAMPlorations-leimani, nuo ihanat lehdet ovat setistä Trendy Leaves. Leimasin ne WPlus9:n stanssilla stanssatulle tagille Heron musteilla ja pienempään tagiin leimasin Papertrey Inkin tekstin Heron musteilla myös. Raitataustan leimasin Simon Says Stampin Wide Stripes Background -leimalla. Koristeiksi laitoin hieman nyöriä ja muutaman pienenpienen paljetin.
I got some new stamps for Christmas (yay, lucky me! :) :) ) that I haven't had the chance to use until now. The lovely Nonni gave me my very first STAMPlorations stamps, the gorgeous leaves I've stamped on the tag are from the 'Trendy Leaves' set. The sentiment, stamped three times on the little tag, is by Papertrey Ink, and the striped background is stamped with a Simon Says Stamp stamp called 'Wide Stripes Backgound'. The tags are die cut with WPlus9 dies, all the inks I've used are by Hero Arts. As embellies there are the tiniest sequins I've ever seen (I found them at a local super market and had to buy them as they were so cute :) ) and some May Arts twine.
Haaste/Challenge:
* STAMPlorations Bi-Weekly Sketch Challenge #26
* STAMPlorations Monthly Challenge: January - Inks and Stamps (maria f. kindly pointed out that my card would suit also the Monthly Challenge, so I'm linking my card to that as well, hoping it's ok to do so)
* STAMPlorations Anything Goes Challenge

Keltainen apina - Yellow monkey
Tein toisenkin synttärikortin meidän perheen pienimmälle (eka on tämä täällä), tämän hänelle antaa isovanhempansa. Leimasin siihen Doodle Factoryn apinan liaaniin roikkumaan ja väritin ProMarkereilla. Stanssasin kehykset Paper Smoochesin Polaroid-setin stanssilla ja embossasin tekstileiman ja lisäilin sydämet. Taustalle Pink Paisleen paperi ja lisäksi Timpan stanssilla stanssattu numero.
Our youngest son turns two this month and I made him a birthday card #2 (you can see the first one here), this will be given to him by his grandparents. I stamped the Doodle Factory monkey hanging on a liana and coloured him with ProMarkers. I framed the stamped image with the die cut Polaroid frame and heat embossed the sentiment (it says 'Congrats' in Finnish). The little hearts are die cut with a Simon Says Stamp die and the number with a Tim Holtz die. The patterned paper is by Pink Paislee.

Pian 2! - Soon 2!
Meidän perheen pienin täyttää tässä kuussa kokonaiset kaksi vuotta! (*mihinseaikamenee...*) Synttärikortiksi tein tällaisen pyöreän Doodle-taksilla varustetun kortin. Auton väritin ProMarkereilla ja leikkasin irti. Tuo taksikyltissä oleva keltainen läikkä on tämän tekniikan ihmelapsen taidonnäyte - leimasin kylttiin pojan nimen ja osasin kuin osasinkin peittää sen kuvankäsittelyohjelmalla! :D Eipä tässä muuta kummempaa olekaan, enamel dotseja, numero ja October Afternoonin papereita. Pieni autokortti pienelle automiehelle! :)
Our youngest son turns two this month and I made him this little birthday card. The car is a DoodleFactory taxi stamp which I coloured with ProMarkers and fussy cut out. The yellow smudge you see on the taxi sign is something I'm very proud of - I had stamped our son's name there and as I want to keep it private, I smudged it out with a picture editing programme, and that is no small miracle let me tell you! I'm really no good at all with computers so to be able to do that is big for me, ha ha! :D But anyways, the card itself is pretty straightforward, there are some enamel dots, the fussy cut number and some October Afternoon papers, and that's about it.
