I’m over in the CLASSroom at Ellen Hutson’s today with a post about the tag die cut sets from My Favorite Things and Pretty Pink Posh. I’d love to have you head on over for the details.

Tangram Boat
A few weeks ago at StampNation, the Dream Team shared fabulous cards created with Altenew stamps. After reading more about the Simple Shapes set on the Altenew site, I stamped a tangram boat.

The Simple Shapes stamp set has dozens of possibilities. I paired the boat with a border stamp and sentiment from Neat and Tangled.

Penny Black Special Day
Today, I’m sharing a card suitable for a variety of celebrations, (graduations, birthdays, and first days back-to-school come immediately to mind), created with Penny Black die cuts and stamps.
I die cut the balloons with the Penny Black 51-004 Uplifting die set and used dimensional adhesive to create depth with the balloons. The number frame is cut with a die from the 51-056 Picture This set. I stamped the sentiment, from the Penny Black 30-171 Cupcakes set, onto the card base. I drew the balloon strings with a ruler on a sky blue cardstock panel with a Faber-Castell PITT artist pen.
Hope you’re having a special day!
Under the Sea
Even though the StampNation Beach Vacation week has drawn to a close, I’m still thinking about beach-themed cards! I particularly like the recently-released My Favorite Things “Sea Life” set for the beach theme.
I used the Sea Life die set to cut the fish and the coral plant. I used Stampin’ Up inks for all of the stamping – the coverage of this ink with the solid image stamps is fantastic.
FYI: The winners from the StampNation Beach Vacation Blog Hop have been announced on Catherine’s blog.
