Penny Black Making Spirits Bright: Winter Blooms

A new challenge has started at Penny Black Saturday Challenge. The theme is Anything Goes with the optional theme of Not a Card. As our Guest Designer we have Bunny.

I chose Anything Goes and created a Christmas card with the gorgeous new stamp by Penny Black called Winter Blooms. I coloured the image with my Copics and cut it along the frame before matting it on to dark green cardstock and white card base. I stamped a sentiment from the new sentiment set called Christmas Greetings onto the panel and embellished the card with some sticky back pearls.

Marraskuun haaste on alkanut Penny Black Saturday Challengessä ja aiheena on Anything Goes, vaihtoehtoinen aihe on Not a Card. Guest Designerina meillä on Bunny.

Valitsin Anything Goes -aiheen ja tein joulukortin uudella Penny Black -leimalla Winter Blooms. Väritin sen Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti reunoja myöden. Kerrostin paneelin sitten tummanvihreälle kartongille ennen kuin kiinnitin sen korttipohjaan. Tekstileima on setistä Christmas Greetings. Lopuksi koristelin kortin puolihelmillä. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit tuotteisiin yllä.

Penny Black Making Spirits Bright: Jubilation

Here's a quick and easy Christmas card made with new dies from the new Penny Black release, Making Spirits Bright.

It's a slimline card that I made using the new dies Slimline Medley. I used all three dies together so I got the 'ripped' outer edge, the stitched frame and the circle windows all in one card. I adhered light blue cardstock and some vellum behind the card to get a frosty blue background for the circle windows. I then die cut the word 'joy' out of red cardstock with the new Jubilation die. I die cut the wreath a second time out of Copic friendly cardstock and coloured the wreath in with my Copics before cutting the circle out of the original red wreath with my scissors and adhering it to the wreath. I heat embossed the sentiment from an older Penny Black stamp set Pinecone Perch onto a strip of brown cardstock and adhered it with some foam adhesives. Lastly, I embellished the card with some sticky back pearls.

All dies and stamps used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:

Tein slimline-joulukortin uusilla Penny Blackin stansseilla. Korttipohjan stanssasin Slimline Medley -stansseilla ja korttipohjan taakse kiinnitin vaaleansinistä kartonkia, jonka päällä on vellumia. Sanan 'joy' stanssasin uudella Jubilation-stanssilla punaisesta kartongista ja toistamiseen pelkän 'o:n' Copic-paperista. O:n eli tuon kranssin väritin Copiceilla ennen kuin leikkasin alkuperäisestä punaisesta kranssista irti tuon sisimmän ympyrän ja kiinnitin sen väritetyn kranssin päälle. Kiinnitin kirjaimet paikoilleen ja embossasin tekstileiman vanhemmasta Penny Blackin leimasetistä Pinecone Perch ja kiinnitin sen kranssin sisään. Lopuksi koristelin kortin puolihelmillä. Kaikki käytetyt stanssit ja leimat ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit tuotteisiin yllä.

Penny Black Making Spirits Bright: Candlelight

Here's another gorgeous stamp from the new Penny Black collection, Making Spirits Bright. This is called Candlelight.

I stamped the image on kraft coloured cardstock and coloured it with my Copics, apart from the candles themselves which I lightly coloured with a white pencil. I then inked the edges of the panel with Distress Oxide inks in Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy (my go-to combination at the moment) before stamping a sentiment from the sentiment set Christmas Greetings. Before adhering the panel onto a piece of white cardstock and to my dark green cardbase, I splattered some white watercolour onto it.

Tämä joulukortti syntyi uudella Penny Blackin leimalla Candlelight. Leimakuvan väritin Copiceilla, paitsi itse kynttilät kevyesti valkoisella värikynällä. Paneelin reunat mustetin Distress Oxide -musteen sävyillä Antique Linen ja Brushed Corduroy ja leimasin tekstileiman setistä Christmas Greetings. Roiskin paneeliin hieman valkoista vesiväriä ennen kuin kiinnitin sen ensin valkoiselle kartongille ja sitten tummanvihreään korttipohjaan.

Penny Black Making Spirits Bright: Christmas Blush

This is one of my favourite stamps from the new Christmas collection, Making Spirits Bright, by Penny Black. It's called Christmas Blush.

I created an almost-one-layer card with this stamp. I stamped the image on Copic friendly paper and coloured it in with my Copics. I then masked the edges of the panel and sponged some Distress Oxide inks in Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy on the card to create a frame to the image before splattering some white watercolour on the panel. I heat embossed a sentiment from the sentiment set Touched by Peace on a strip of dark brown cardstock and adhered it in place. Lastly, I embellished the card with some white sequins.

Tämä uusi leima Penny Blackin uudesta joulukokoelmasta, Making Spirits Bright, on yksi lemppareistani. Sen nimi on Christmas Blush. Leimasin sen Copic-paperille ja väritin Copiceilla. Reunat maskasin ja mustetin Distress Oxide -musteilla Antique Linen ja Brushed Corduroy ja roiskin sitten hieman valkoista vesiväriä paneeliin. Tekstileima on setistä Touched by Peace, embossasin sen tummanruskealle kartonkisuikaleelle. Lopulta koristelin kortin valkoisilla paljeteilla.

Penny Black Making Spirits Bright: Darling Delivery

Here's a slimline Christmas card I made using new stamps and dies from the fabulous new Christmas collection by Penny Black called Making Spirits Bright.

I made the cardbase using the new Slimline Medly die. On the panel, I stamped the new Darling Delivery stamp and coloured the image with my Copics. I stamped a sentiment from the new Christmas Greetings sentiment set. The gorgeous border on the upper part of the card is made with a die from the new die set called Spirited, it has three different border dies that fit the tall side of a slimline card but for this card, I used only a part of it. I also decorated the die cut with some baker's twine. I added some die cut snowflakes, too, die cut with the new Dancing Snowflakes die to embellish the card (but as they are pretty much white on white, you can't really see them in the photo..).

All stamps and dies used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:

* Darling Delivery (30-883)

* Slimline Medley (51-718)

* Christmas Greetings (30-865)

* Spirited (51-721)

* Dancing Snowflakes (51-708)

Tämä kortti syntyi uusilla leimoilla ja stansseilla uudesta Penny Black -kokoelmasta Making Spirits Bright. Slimline-korttipohjan stanssasin Slimline Medley -stansseilla ja paneeliin leimasin uuden Darling Delivery -leiman, leimakuvan väritin Copiceilla. Tekstileima on setistä Christmas Greetings. Boordin yläreunaan stanssasin stanssilla uudesta Spirited-stanssisetistä, kaikki setin stanssit riittävät slimline-kortin pitkän reunan pituuteen mutta tässä kortissa käytin vain osan. Koristelin boordin vielä nyörillä. Stanssasin korttiin myös lumihiutaleita uusilla stansseilla Dancing Snowflakes -setistä, mutta ne eivät tietysti kuvassa kovin hyvin näy, kun ovat valkoista valkoisella. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ja stanssit ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit tuotteisiin yllä.

Penny Black Making Spirits Bright: Christmas Circlet

Here's a Christmas card I made with a new stamp called Christmas Circlet from the fab new collection by Penny Black called Making Spirits Bright.

I stamped the image on a panel of Copic friendly paper and coloured the image with my Copics. I also added some sparkle to the little grey leaves with some clear Nuvo Aqua Shimmer markers but unfortunately, it doesn't show in the photo (but it's really pretty in real life!). I stamped a sentiment inside the wreath from the new sentiment set Season to Believe and embellished the wreath with a little twine bow and some sticky back pearls. Next, I matted the panel onto some green cardstock, adhered a strip of patterned paper from the paper pad Wintertime onto my cardbase and adhered the panel onto the cardbase with some craft foam between the panel and the cardbase.

Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja lisäsin hieman kimalletta harmaisiin lehtiin (se ei toki kuvasta näy, mutta livenä näyttää nätiltä). Tekstileima on uudesta setistä Season to Believe. Kranssin koristelin rusetilla ja muutamalla puolihelmellä. Kiinnitin paneelin vihreälle kartongille, taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia paperikosta Wintertime. Paneelin kiinnitin koholle, paneelin ja korttipohjan välissä on hieman fun foamia. Kaikki käytetyt tuotteet ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit tuotteisiin yllä.

Penny Black Making Spirits Bright: Holly Berry Branch

Penny Black has just released a new collection of Christmas stamps and dies called Making Spirits Bright and it is gorgeous, full of absolutely beautiful stamps and dies!

I made my first slimline card with the new Slimline Medley dies. I die cut the panel out of Copic friendly cardstock and stamped the image on it. The stamp I used is called Holly Berry Branch, I coloured it with my Copics. I then put the die back in place and sponged some Distress Oxide inks in Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy on the edges of the panel before stamping my sentiment from the new Christmas Greetings sentiment set. I embellished the card with some twine tied into a little bow and some gold sequins.
