Penny Black – Adorn

Hello! Today I am sharing another card created with die sets in the just-released Penny Black collection – Season of Hope. This CAS holiday card took only a few minutes to assemble.

Penny Black - Adorn

  • The star of the card is the ornament created with the 51-666 Adorn set. I backed the ornament, cut from red foil, with white cardstock. I cut its topper from silver foil and added silver twine to the assembly.
  • I cut the 51-670 Bountiful Berries from white glitter paper. (I’m planning on using this die again to cut a branch from tan, green, or white cardstock and add Nuvo drops for the berries.
  • I cut the sentiment from silver foil using the 51-698 Frozen Vista Cut Out set. For additional depth, I backed the silver foil with the sentiment also cut from white cardstock.
  • I added the branch, sentiment, and ornament (popped up with foam adhesive) to a card base covered with patterned paper.
  • I embellished the scene with snowflakes cut from glitter cardstock using dies in the 51-268 A Blizzard and 51-080 Around Town sets.

I was originally planning to add light blue ink to a white cardstock panel for the background, as I did on this card; however, it felt too plain. I had the patterned paper out for a different project and liked how the red ornament popped against the blue snowflake pattern.
