Joyful Santa

I've made more Christmas cards than I've had the time to share so I'm trying to share some of them while it's still December. I made this one with my favourite Santa, the Jolly St. Nick from Sizzix and Tim Holtz. The present he's carrying is die cut with Celebrate die set and the stripey background is die cut with Layered Stripes die, both by Sizzix and Tim Holtz. The sentiment die is Jumbo Joy from Penny Black, die cut from coloured cardstock and heavily coated with Rock Candy glitter. As this Santa is a big fella, my cardbase is also big, 5x7 inches.

Jolly Santa

This jolly Santa captured my heart the minute I saw him, he is the sweetest Santa ever! He is a Sizzix / Tim Holtz die called Jolly St. Nick and it was so much fun piecing him together. He is a big fella, so this card is the size 5x7. I had him sneakily carry a present behind his back, die cut with Sizzix/Tim Holtz die set Celebrate. I added a piece of patterned paper behind him and a frame die cut with the Penny Black die Frame It. The sentiment is die cut as well, it translates as 'Christmas Greetings'.

Spotlight

This gorgeous stamp is Floral Trims by Tim Holtz and I think it's one of the most gorgeous floral stamps ever! I made a birthday card with it and decided to use a bit of spotlight technique. I stamped the image on my panel and then die cut a rectangle. I coloured the image in the die cut rectangle, matted the rectangle on a piece of black cardstock and adhered it in its place. I also matted the bigger panel on a piece of black cardstock. The sentiment is Finnish for 'Congrats', and I used some enamel dots to embellish the card.

60

A colleague of mine turned 60 earlier in January and we gave him a little present with a card that I made. I actually made two cards so my colleagues were able to choose which one we should give. My colleague is into cars so I tried to feature that in my cards, both of which turned out pretty clean and simple.

The first card features a stamp by Lili of the Valley, this is called Toot Toot. I coloured the image with my Copics before masking the edges of the panel and ink blending some Distress Oxide inks onto it. I cut the numbers with Number It die by Mama Elephant and adhered them in place before matting the panel onto a piece of teal cardstock and adhering it to my cardbase.

* The Male Room: Challenge #194 - Clean and Simple

The second card uses dies by Sizzix/Tim Holtz, namely Vault Christmas Magic dies (I love versatile crafty products!). I cut the elements with the dies, added some vellum behind the windows on the buildings and the cars and adhered the elements in their places (the buildings are adhered with foam adhesives). I added the die cut numbers on the pickup. For the background, I masked the edges of the panel again and ink blended some Distress Oxide inks in Speckled Egg and Frayed Burlap onto the panel. I then stamped my sentiment (it says 'Congratulating you on your birthday'), adhered everything in place and embellished the card with some enamel dot stars.

Birthday Flowers

Here's a clean-and-simple birthday card I made using a stamp from the beautiful Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz stamp set Floral Trims. I simply stamped the image on the card panel and coloured it with my Copics before masking the edges of the panel and ink blending some Distress Oxide inks (Bundled Sage and Rustic Wilderness) on it. I stamped the sentiment on the panel (it says 'Happy Birthday') before embellishing the card with some pretty gems.

Christmas Magic

It is still Christmas time, isn't it? So that I can share some Christmas cards that I didn't have time to share before Christmas. Here's a card I made with Vault Christmas Magic die set by Sizzix / Tim Holtz. I inked the background to create a snowy night sky and adhered the die cut pieces onto it. Santa and his sleigh is adhered with foam adhesives as are some of the trees for some dimension. The sentiment says 'Merry Christmas'.

Festive Wreath

I think I'm falling in love with diecutting! I had so much fun making this card and adding all the little details, it's so different from colouring in a stamped image. The die set I used for this is by Sizzix and Tim Holtz and it's called Vault Festive Wreath. I die cut the pieces out of either white cardstock or coloured cardstock and added a bit of colour to them with Distress Oxide inks. I also splattered a bit of white acrylic paint to the wreath itself and added shimmer and glitter to the elements with Nuvo Glitter pen and Distress Rock Candy Glitter. The sentiment says 'Christmas Greetings' in Finnish. I also used some white half pearls to embellish the card.

6-vuotiaalleni - For my 6-year-old

Nuorimmainen täytti kuluneella viikolla 6 vuotta ja tein hänelle tällaiset kortit. Ensimmäisen kortin annoimme me ja toisen isovanhempansa. Ensimmäisessä on leimakuvana Tiddly Inksin poika setistä My Super Boy. Väritin sen Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti. Taustan siniseen paperiin ja vihreään banneriin leimasin Neat and Tangledin Time Warp -leimalla, lisäksi hieman mustaa kartonkia, kuviopaperia ja tähtikoriste.

My youngest son turned 6 this past week and I made him these cards. We gave him the first card and his grandparents gave him the second one. For the first card I used the cute boy from the set 'My Super Boy' by Tiddly Inks. I coloured him with my Copics and fussy cut him out. I attached him with foam adhesives. I stamped the blue paper and the green banner with 'Time Warp' stamp by Neat and Tangled, used a bit of black cardstock, some patterned paper and a star brad to finish the card. 

Toiseen korttiin käytin High Hopesin Sir Dustin -leimaa, jonka väritin myös Copiceilla, stanssasin MFT:n stansseilla ja kerrostin siniselle kartongille. Taustalle kuviopaperia ja ainoaksi koristeeksi iso Tim Holtzin stanssilla stanssattu kutonen.

For the second card I used a stamp called 'Sir Dustin' by High Hopes. I coloured it with my Copics, die cut with an MFT die and matted it onto some blue cardstock. For the background I used a bit of patterned paper and finished the card with a big die cut 6.

Kiitos, kun käväisit!

Thanks for your visit today!

Robotti - Robot

Tällaisen robottikortin tein veljenpojalleni synttärikortiksi. Leimakuva on Tim Holtzin Mini Robot Blueprint -setistä ja väritin sen taas Zigeillä. Päälle roiskin hieman mustaa spraymustetta vesivärisiveltimellä. Paneelin stanssasin Simon Says Stampin stanssilla, kerrostin kartongille ja lisäsin pienen tagin (Tim Holtzin stanssilla stanssattu sekin), johon olin embossannut numeron, kiinni haaraniitillä. Taustalle hieman kuviopaperia ja mustaan korttipohjaan kiinni.

I made this robot card for my nephew who celebrates his 13th birthday this month. The image I used is from the 'Mini Robot Blueprint' set by Tim Holtz and I coloured it with my Zig Markers. I also added a few splatters of black spray ink with my watercolour brush on it. I then die cut the panel with a Simon Says Stamp die and matted it onto some black cardstock. I die cut the little tag with a Tim Holtz die, heat embossed the number and attached it with a brad. For the background, I used some patterned paper and adhered it to black card base. The panel with the image is attached with foam adhesives so it is a bit raised.

Dinosaurus - Dinosaur

Toinen synttärikortti esikoiselle. Jostain syystä kaikki pojat tuntuvat pitävän dinosauruksista, niin meidänkin 8-vuotias, joten toiseksi kortiksi tuli tällainen dino-aiheinen. Siitä ei tullut ihan sellaista kuin mielessäni ajattelin, mutta saaja tykkäsi, joten kaikki on hyvin :) Dinosaurus on Stampendousin Dino Time -setistä, väritin kuvan Polychromoksilla. Sitten vain stanssailin neliöitä papereista, lisäsin tekstileiman ja numeron. Muutama vesiväriroiske perään ja kortti oli valmis.

Another card for my eldest son. For some reason all boys seem to like dinosaurs and he is no exception so I chose to make a card with a dinosaur. It didn't turn out exactly as I envisioned it but he liked it so I'm happy :) The dinosaur is from the 'Dino Time' set by Stampendous, I coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils. Then I simply die cut the panel and some patterned papers, added my sentiment and the die cut number. Lastly (yes, lastly as it was an afterthought... ;D ) I added a few tiny splatters of watercolour to the panel.

Kiitos, kun käväisit! :)

Thanks for your visit today! :)

Viisi - Five

Perheen nuorimmainen täytti viime kuussa kokonaiset viisi vuotta ja tein hänelle tällaisen kortin. Nuo söpöt musikantit ovat My Favorite Thingsin setistä Strike up the Band ja väritin ne Zigeillä. Taustapaperin stanssasin MFT:n ommenreunastanssilla ja samoilla stanssasin nuo aukot paperiin. Aukoista näkyvään korttipohjaan tein tähtiä Create a Smilen sapluunalla ja Distress Inkillä ja koristetähdet väritin väreihin sopiviksi Copiceilla. Loppusilauksena vielä stanssattu numero.

Our youngest son turned five last month and this is the birthday card I made him. The cute little bunnies are from 'Strike up the Band' set by My Favorite Things and I coloured them with my Zig Markers. I die cut the background paper with a stitched edge die by My Favorite Things, and I also die cut the rectangle windows with them. In the windows I stenciled some stars with a Create a Smile stencil and some Distress Ink. As finishing touches I added a die cut number and some little star that I coloured with my Copics so that they fit the colours.

Viisikymmentä - Fifty

Tilaustyönä kortti 50 vuotta täyttävälle miehelle. Päätin käyttää korttiin tätä Penny Blackin Oscaria (synttärisankarin huumorintaju kuulemma kestää sen ;D ), jonka väritin Zigeillä ja leikkasin irti. Taustalle stanssasin numerot Timpan stanssilla ja paperin My Favorite Thingsin stanssilla. Kiinnitys tummanruskeaan korttipohjaan ja koristeeksi tähtiä, jotka väritin väreihin sopiviksi Copiceilla.

This is a made to order birthday card for a man turning 50. I decided to use the lovely 'Oscar' by Penny Black (I was told the recipient of the card has his sense of humor intact so figured he would see the funniness of Oscar.. ;) ). I coloured him with my Zigs and fussy cut him out. For the background I die cut the numbers with a Tim Holtz die and the patterned paper with a My Favorite Things die. I attached everything in place and added some stars that I coloured with my Copics.

Haasteet/Challenges:
* Penny Black and More: January - Something New (I coloured Oscar with my new Zigs that were given to me as a Christmas present - from me! :D )

Robotti - Robot

Tässä simppeli 10 vuotta täyttäneelle veljenpojalle mennyt kortti. Taittelin korttipohjan vesivärikartongista, leimasin siihen tuon Tim Holtzin robotin, maskasin sen ja leimasin taustalle Marianne Designin leimalla. Väritys Distress Markereilla, tekstileima ja leimatut numerot ja lisäksi vielä tippaset mustaa enamel accentsia ja siinäpä se.

I made this birthday card for my nephew who turned 10. I folded the card out of watercolour cardstock, stamped the Tim Holtz robot onto it, masked the robot and stamped the background. I then coloured the image with Distress Markers, stamped the sentiment and the numbers and added drops of black enamel dots to finish the card.

Ystiksii ihan aina - Friends 4 Ever

Lisää pupuja :) Sain blogiystävältäni Patricialta leimakuvia ja stanssattuja kuvioita lahjaksi ja käytin niistä yhden tähän korttiin. Tämä suloinen pupu on Mama Elephantia, väritin sen Distress Markereilla ja laitoin hieman kimalletta pupun pitelemään sydämeen (ei tosin näy kuvassa). Pupu on kiinnitetty tarrapaloilla koholle. Paperit ovat sekalaista seurakuntaa Simon Says Stampin stansseilla stanssattuna ja tagi on stanssattu Tim Holtzin stanssilla, teksti siinä on Lawn Fawnia. Lisäksi hieman nyöriä ja kukkanappi.

It's a bunny card from me again :) My bloggy friend Patricia kindly gifted me some stamped images and die cuts (thank you, Patricia!), and I used one for this card. The bunny is by Mama Elephant, I believe, and I coloured her with my Distress Markers. I also added some subtle glitter to the heart she's holding (it's so subtle though that you can't see it in the picture :D ) and attached her with some foam adhesives. The papers are from my stash, I die cut them with Simon Says Stamp's stitched edge rectangle die and the curve is die cut with SSS's die, too. The round little tag is die cut with a Tim Holtz die and the sentiment is by Lawn Fawn. As embellishments, I added some twine and a cute little flower shaped button.

Söpöstelyä - Cuteness Overload

Tein tämän kortin ihanalle ystävälle syntymäpäiväkortiksi. Hullaannuin tässä taannoin hieman Purple Onion Designsin alessa ja kotiutin sieltä muutaman suloisen leiman, joista kolmea käytin tässä kortissa. Leimailin maskaten kukat ja koiran ja lisäsin vielä tuon tirpan kuvaan mukaan (jos tekisin kortin uudestaan, jättäisin tuon tirpan pois, se näyttää jotenkin ylimääräiseltä tuossa...). Väritys on Distress Markereilla ja osassa kukista on vielä hieman kirkasta Wink of Stellaa. Pyöreä aukko on stanssattu Simon Says Stampin ommelreunastanssilla ja pienet tägit Tim Holtzin tägistanssilla. Kohotin tuon sinisen paneelin kohotarroilla ja lisäksi laitoin hieman leipurinnyöriä ja pienen suloisen kukkanapin ja siinäpä se, hieman CAS-tyyliä ja paljon suloisuutta :)

I made this birthday card for a sweet friend. I recently went a bit crazy at the Purple Onion Designs' sale (just a bit crazy, not much... ha ha ha!) and bought myself a whole lot of cute stamps of which I used three here. I stamped and masked the flowers and the little dog and decided at the last minute to add the little bird there, too - if I had to remake this card now, I'd leave the birdie out, he looks a bit "added" there... I coloured the image with Distress Markers and added some clear Wink of Stella to some of the flowers. I die cut the circle with a Simon Says Stamp stitched edge die and also die cut the little tags with a Tim Holtz die and added the sentiment ('Congrats!' in Finnish) to the pink tag. The blue panel is raised just a little bit with foam adhesives. Then I just added some baker's twine and a cute little flower button and the card was done. A bit of CAS with loads of cuteness! :)

Haasteet/Challenges:
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #64 - CASE with your own twist (I used the colours Julia used, mine are just paler, and I also framed my stamped image, and hey, there's stitched edge, too!)

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! :)

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:

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.

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.
