Penny Black Die-cut Valentine

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Valentine created with Penny Black supplies from their latest release – “Love and Happiness” – as well as much-loved supplies from previous releases.

I cut the truck with the 51-641 …is coming! die set and assembled it.
I cut the heart balloons with the 51-004 Uplifting die set and glued dental floss to the back. I placed the strings through the truck window.
With the 51-033 Silver Linings die, I created a vellum stencil through which I applied Tumbled Glass ink on to a white card panel.
I stamped the 30-792 Love Quotes sentiment in black ink on the panel.
I finished the card with a frame cut with the largest die in the A2 Rectangle Frames set.

Elizabeth Craft Design Winter Cat

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS winter-themed card featuring the Elizabeth Craft Design cat die set.

I colored Bristol with various Distress Inks and cut the colored paper with the Cat and Winter Accessories sets.
I drew the mouth on the cat with an American Crafts .01 point pen (noting this mostly for myself) and assembled the pieces with glue.
I added the assembled cat to a patterned paper background, (I liked the contrast the yellow provided and the pattern reminded me of a sweater), on which I had stamped the sentiment from Penny Black Bright and Light set.
To reinforce the winter theme, I added snowflakes cut with the ECD Penguin die set.

Penny Black CAS Valentine

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card created with Penny Black supplies from their latest release – “Love and Happiness.”

I cut the wagon with the 51-646 Wagon Ride set from white, dark grey, silver foil, and woodgrain cardstock. (I’m already envisioning the wagon carrying greenery for a winter card and pumpkins for a fall one.)
I assembled the wagon pieces with glue. The silver foil handle/pull was trimmed and glued to the dark grey piece.
I stamped the 30-792 Love Quotes sentiment in black ink on a white cardstock panel.
I applied Distress ink to the panel, using a vellum sheet as a mask, for the ground and the sky.
I cut the hearts with dies in the 51-090 Little Ornaments and the 51-281 What’s in Your Cup? sets.
I added the hearts to the panel, placing the largest hearts inside the wagon.
I added the assembly to a patterned paper card base.

Penny Black – CAS XOXO Valentine

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card created with Penny Black supplies from previous love-themed releases, as I eagerly await products from their newest release.

I gold heat-embossed the 30-667 Love Language sentiment on red cardstock. The sentiment is a multi-line one, which I masked.
I die-cut 51-486 Stitched XOXO from white cardstock through which I added an arrow, cut from gold cardstock with the 51-594 Doodles of Love die set.
I added the assembly to a white textured card base.

Spellbinders Expressions of Love Collection

Hello! Today I have two love-themed cards using products from the Spellbinders Expressions of Love Collection. On both, I have combined die-cutting and glimmer-foiling.

My first card showcases the Sunday Sunset Drive die set – an add-on set for the Sunday Drive set – on a wedding congratulations card.

I die-cut the pieces for the car, the groom, the bride, the flowers, and the license plate from solid cardstock and silver foil and assembled them. (There are many options for the Sunday Sunset Drive set; I chose to create a wedding card.)
I glimmer-foiled the Wedding Wishes sentiment in silver on Whip Cream cardstock in silver and cut it with a die in the Holiday Sentiments set.
I added the sentiment and car to a patterned paper background to which I added die-cut hearts (cut with a die in the Sunday Sunset Drive set).

The second card uses the strip technique to create a quilt-like background for a heartfelt sentiment.

I glimmer-foiled the Scattered Hearts background in gold on light blue, pink, and two shades of red cardstock. I cut the pieces with a rectangular die and pieced them together to form a 3 3/4″ x 5″ rectangle. I added the rectangle to a linen-textured white background.
I glimmer-foiled the Heart Melt sentiment on Whip Cream cardstock and cut it with the outline die in the Forever Love Hearts set. I added it to the card with foam adhesive.
