Stamping Sensations & We Love Stamping; November challenge

 Hello! With the card below I would like to enter in the following challenges:


Stamping Sensations; November challenge - Christmas


We Love Stamping; November challenge - Christmas


Season's Tweetings from Tweety. At first I made an oval stencil from a paper piece and inked the background through it, then I stamped the tweeties, the branch, the notes and the sentiment, coloured the tweeties with ink pens and added a little bit of Stickless on the branch. Then I glued the layer on the card base, added the ribbons, the patterned corners and the inside page.

ATSM # 440

Hello. With the card below I would like to enter in your following challenge:

Addicted to Stamps and More; Challenge #440 - Dies/Stencils



This is my second entry in the challenge and this time I have used both dies and stencils. The stencil is from a freebie set of Creative Stamping issue 90 and the deer is a Marianne design. The tree stamp is from an other mag freebie. The original inspiration for the card I got from Papercraft Essentials issue 164 but made my own version of it. For inking the top layer I used three shades of brown Distress Inks. Once I had inked it I sprayed it with Perfect Pearl water to get a frosty look. On the inside page there is a pocket for money/gift card. The sentiment I will add on the pocket in English or in Finnish once I have decided who the recipient is.

The dies I have used for this card are shown in the first picture. The sentiment is a fussy-cut from a Paper Pack. It is in Finnish and means "Merry Christmas". For the personalized message there's plenty of room on the white piece of card stock in the back of the card.

"Less is More" Challenge #473

 Hello. With this card I'll enter in your following challenge:

"Less is More" Challenge #473 - Black & White (my 2nd entry)



"You are as Unique as a Snowflake" - I think it's quite a lovely way to boost a birthday hero's self-esteem. For this black and white card I have used stamps from two stamp sets, Versamark ink and white embossing powder. The card has no layers and no embellishments and all the stamping is made directly on the card base.

Stamping Sensations; September challenge

Hello. With this card I'll enter in your following challenge:

Stamping Sensations; September challenge - Feminine



This is a feminine and autumnal BD card. All sunflowers and the sentiment are stamped and one sunflower on the cover is also die-cut once stamped.  I have also added some texture by embossing the corner pockets and inside layers. The pocket on the right hand corner is keeping the card closed, the left hand corner is just for the symmetry.







Items used: 
John Next Door autumnal cardmaking kit (sunflower stamps+die & leaves embossing folder)
Sentiment (Onnea=congrats) by Korttipaja, Finland
