Penny Black – Dream & Discover – Tropical Paradise

Hello (Aloha)! Penny Black has just released a new collection -“Dream & Discover.” I am sharing a summer-themed card created with two of the products in the release – 51-643 Tropical Paradise and 30-844 At Ease.

Penny Black Dream & Discover Tropical Paradise

  • I used the Spellbinders July 2021 Large Die of the Month “Mini Slimline Envelope and Nested Card Creator” to create the card base and backed it with black cardstock.
  • I cut the 51-643 Tropical Paradise beach silhouette scene from black cardstock and backed it with a circle colored with Distress Oxide Inks.
  • I stamped the 30-844 At Ease sentiment on to cardstock colored with Distress Oxide Ink and cut it with a circle die.
  • I die-cut the 51-643 Tropical Paradise hibiscus and foliage from cardstock colored with Distress Oxide Inks and added them to a circle also colored with ink.
  • I added the three circles to the card base.

Rubbernecker – Gnomes on the Beach

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card showcasing the Gnome Couple die set at Rubbernecker. I previously featured this die set on a card here.

Rubbernecker - Gnomes on the Beach

  • I die cut the Gnome Couple from colored cardstock and assembled the pieces.
  • I die-cut the Palm Trees from colored cardstock. Before assembling the trees, I added Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink to help blend the two cardstock colors.
  • I die-cut the Lifeguard Tower from colored cardstock and assembled the pieces.
  • I stamped the sentiment on to white cardstock and added inks for the sky and sand. This is my “go to” sentiment for gnome-themed cards.

Penny Black – Paws and Relax

Hello! Today I am sharing a card showcasing the 30-832 Paws and Relax stamp set from the Stamping With Scooter release at Penny Black. Today Scooter heads to the spa for some pampering!

Penny Black - Paws and Relax

  • I stamped the images and colored them with Copic markers and colored pencils. There is another image in the 30-832 Paws and Relax set, which was too large for this circle size. I plan to use that image as a standalone on another card.
  • I stamped the images again on to Masking Magic paper. I fussy-cut the images, applied the masks to the colored images, and sponged Tumbled Glass and Antique Linen to the images.
  • I cut the images with a 2-1/2 inch circle die, from the Hero Arts Infinity Dies set.
  • I stamped the sentiment on to SU Flirty Flamingo cardstock, cut to a slimline size, and attached the images.

Rubbernecker – Stormy Weather

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card showcasing the Fishing Boat die at Rubbernecker.

Rubbernecker - Stormy Weather

  • I have been sharing a lot of nautical cards of late. For this one, I wanted to use a different sentiment than “Ahoy” (or similar). My idea for the different sentiment came about after I inked clouds in the sky with the MFT Cloud Stencil. The sky indicated a storm was moving in. If I found myself in rough sea, I’d certainly prefer to be in a fishing boat rather than a sailboat! Of course, the Fishing Boat can be used for a nautical card with an “Ahoy” sentiment.
  • I created the sentiment on my computer and cut it with the Rubbernecker Deckle Frame die. I did something similar on this card.
  • I used the Lawn Fawn Ocean Wave Borders to cut the waves from two shades of blue cardstock.
