CAS - Right as Rain

Penny Black CAS Holiday Card with Partial Die Cutting

Today I’m sharing another CAS holiday card created with Penny Black supplies. And again the Branching Out die cut takes center stage.

To begin, I stamped the background with 40-350 Tree-Lined on green cardstock in a green ink. The panel was trimmed and attached to a white cardstock panel.

By placing my acrylic plates and die on the cardstock to create a partial cut, I cut out the tree with the 51-081 Branching Out die. I then cut the sides of the snowbanks from the remaining cardstock. It took a couple of times to get this right!

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment (from the Penny Black 30-257 Joy Filled set).

Hope your week is off to a terrific start!

Penny Black CAS Holiday Card

Today I’m sharing a CAS holiday card created with Penny Black Creative Dies.

I cut the tree with 51-081 Branching Out die twice. I placed the tree on a grid of squares using a color combination featured on the Penny Black blog last year. (The combinations from the Color Christmas series are ones I will use again and again as they aren’t ones I would have come up with on my own.) Edited in 2024: I cannot find this series to reference it with a link. I added a sentiment, which was cut with the Peace die, from in the 51-021 Love & Joy set, three times for extra depth.

Hoping your holiday season is filled with Peace!

Reverse Confetti: Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge

I’m playing along in the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Clearly Christmas with a card created with some newly released Reverse Confetti supplies.

For my card, I was inspired by the colors of blue, green, white and silver. And of course the Christmas theme.

Reverse Confetti: Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge I cut the chevrons with the Triple Chevies Confetti Cuts die and adhered them to a white base. I did this three times and then cut the panels into strips. When I attached the strips to the card base, I rotated the one in the middle 180 degrees so that there would be a zig zag pattern. I cut the snowflakes with the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts dies. I cut each size twice and adhered them for extra depth. I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments in silver.

Reverse Confetti – Color Throwdown #321

Today I’m sharing a card created with a Reverse Confetti Confetti Cut and stamp set sentiment for the Color Throwdown #321 Challenge.

I was totally intrigued by this color combination – it’s not one that I would have thought of on my own, which is one of the things that make these challenges so fun!

I used the Reverse Confetti Circle Garland to cut six garlands in the brown cardstock, three in the brushed silver and three in the brushed gold. I glued the metallic garlands to the dark brown ones for some depth.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Tinsel ‘N Trim set.

Hope your holiday preparations are going smoothly and that your tinsel isn’t in a tangle!
