Christmas Cards / Kesänpäätös

Hei, enää 4 kuukautta jouluun! Siispä joulukorttien kimppuun, sateinen sääkin suosii askartelua sisätilassa.
Seuraavien neljän joulukortin tarvikekuoret olen saanut joulukalenterivaihdosta, joten en osaa mainita valmistajia. Väritykset olen tehnyt Kuretake Zig vesiväritusseilla.

Hi, only 4 months to Christmas! Here's four new Christmas cards I made yesterday.

I have received the material envelopes from a Christmas Calendar Swap, which we have made several years with some crafting friends. So I can't tell the manufactors of the products used. Stamped images are coloured with Kuretake Zigs.
These envelopes are great when you have no motivation, all is there, you don't have to grab your own shelf ( you can if you like to add some own stuff). There are enough materials for two cards.
You can see better pics at my IG!

Holiday alert! I'm having a little take off with hubby and camper / van to the East of Finland, Karelia, near the Russian border up to Lappland. Maybe visit the Santa at Korvatunturi ;))
My next posts are scheduled, hopefully.

Heippa hetkeksi, seuraavat postaukset ovat ajastettu kuun vaihteeseen.
Olemme jossain itärajalla ajelemassa ylöspäin ja toivottavasti takaisinkin.

Sitä ennen nyt lauantaina vietämme perinteiset kesänpäätösjuhlat täällä mökkimaisemissa.
Ateljee on avoinna, kaikki kortit (!) esillä, myös poistot ja joulukortit, tarjouksia.
Musiikkia tarjoilee Heikki Mäntynen, tuttu Linnan juhlista ja J. Vainio produktioista.
Kahvilasta pikku purtavaa! Klo 12 - 16 ja poutasäätä tilattu, pääosin ulkotilaisuus.
Kutsut yv.

Osanotto suruun kortti

Hei, taas on aika muistuttaa korttiaskartelijoita:  vielä on aikaa osallistua elokuun   We Love Chocolate Baroque haasteeseen. Aiheena suosikkileimasin.
Mallikortissa käytin sponsorin kukkaleimasinta, jota olen käyttänyt monenlaisiin kortteihin, jouluisiakin.
Nyt näette miten hyvin se taipuu myös surukorttiin.

Hi, you still got time to enter at We Love Chocolate Baroque Challenge!  This month's theme is "Favourite Stamps"! My second Design Team sample card is a sympathy card, using Chocolate Baroque Flora Musica stamp. This is one of my CB favourite's, very versatile, goes well on many occasions. I have made even Christmas cards with it.
Colouring with Kuretake Zigs, broad lace under the framed image. Stamped condolence sentiment in Finnish.

Sparkle!

 Hyvää lauantaita, tervetuloa Allsorts haasteen pariin! Me jatkamme edelleen, pieni kyynel silmäkulmassa tiimikaveri Kathin poismenon johdosta. Kunnioitamme hänen muistoaan syyskuussa erityishaasteessa.

Vielä kesäajan kaksiviikkoinen haaste aiheena "Kimallus".

Hi, it's time for a new Allsorts Challenge! Thank you all who entered last fortnight to my theme. And for all those condolences about Kath. We'll remember her in a special challenge later on.
This fortnight DT Lorraine asks to " add some sparkle". The prize comes from WOWVOW.

That's a great theme, we needed now some colour and sparkle, the sentiment says " You earn everything good" . Just remember to enjoy the life's good moments.
