Supplies:

Penny Black Friendship

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, friendship-themed card showcasing two new products from the Penny Black Daydream release, along with some Penny Black favorites.

I stamped the 30-799 Friendship Sentiments sentiment on soft-blue cardstock.
I cut the 51-639 Fern Border from cardstock.
I cut the 51-636 Dainty Dashes Stackers panel from white cardstock, and by cutting the center with a rectangular die, I created a frame.
I glued a portion of the 51-639 Fern Border to the bottom of the frame.
I added the frame to the sentiment panel.
I adhered the panel to a dry-embossed, soft yellow cardstock background.
I added butterflies cut with a die in 51-132 Flights of Fancy from coral cardstock for embellishment.

Spellbinders Glimmer Essentials Collection

Hello! I was recently a guest post author on the Spellbinders blog showcasing CAS cards created with the Glimmer Essentials Collection. The products in the collection work with the Essentials Collection of dies in the same shapes: circle, squares, rectangles, and ovals.

Supplies:

My Happy Place

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card featuring the Cottage Cutz Potting Shed die set with a retired MFT stamp set (“Beach Bunnies”) sentiment, which I masked (the sentiment says “You Are My Happy Place”).

I die-cut the pieces for the shed, watering can, and flower pot and assembled them with glue. The die is one piece, which you run through multiple times cutting different colored cardstock. I tried a number of different shed siding/roof/door color combinations. I saw a garden shed online with a teal door (gray siding), but when I tried teal cardstock, it just didn’t look the same. I really like all of the details that the set provides.

I stamped the sentiment and added a horizon by brushing Distress Ink for the sky and the grass.

We recently had snow in the PNW. It’s melted now and there are daffodils popping up!

Penny Black Daisy Hello

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, spring-themed card showcasing two die sets from the Penny Black Daydream release.

I die-cut the back panel with the 51-637 Bunch of Daisies die.
I backed the piece with white cardstock and inlaid the daisy stems and centers (having used the same die to cut those pieces).
I cut the sentiment with the 51-638 Thanks & Hello set.
I glued the letters to a white, textured cardstock band, using the negative for placement.
I cut a frame from pink, textured cardstock, adhered the sentiment band to the back of the frame, and adhered the assembly to the daisy panel.
