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.

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 – Stormy Weather

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

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.

Rubbernecker Dies – Gnomes on Vacation

Hello and Aloha! Today I am sharing a vacation-themed card created with Rubbernecker die sets. I purchased winter supplies from Rubbernecker at the end of last year, and I’ve recently added more dies to my collection.

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 colors.
I die-cut the Beach Bag with accessories from colored cardstock and assembled the pieces.
I printed the sentiment on to white cardstock on my computer and cut it with the frame.
I blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide onto a rectangle. I blended Desert Sand ink on to cardstock and cut it with a die in the Deckle Hills set.
I adhered the Deckle Frame to the sky and sand with foam adhesive. I added the palm trees to the scene, followed by the gnome couple and the beach bag, which are popped up with foam and fall outside of the scene.
I added the framed assembly to an orange cardstock base.
