Penny Black – Birthday Hedgie

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, birthday card created with Penny Black supplies. I used this same hedgehog image on a card here.

I stamped the hedgehog using a stamp in the 30-711 Critter Delights set and colored the image with Copic markers and colored pencils. I restamped the image after coloring it. (I left the stamp on my stamp platform while I colored the image.)
I fussy-cut the hedgehog.
I stamped the 30-700 Carefree Wishes sentiment on to blue cardstock.
I cut the balloon strings using the 51-609 Balloons set and the balloons with dies in the 51-004 Uplifting set.
I trimmed the sentiment panel and added it to a mat cut with the 51-636 Dainty Dashes Stackers set from white cardstock.
I added the assembly to a patterned paper card base.
I added the balloons and the hedgehog (with foam adhesive) to the card.

Spellbinders – Halloween and Fall Foiled Projects

Hello! I’m delighted to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog sharing cards that showcase some of the just-released products in their Halloween & Fall 2020 Collection.

For both of the cards, I foiled images on colorful cardstock. Although I’ll be sad to see summer end, I’m excited about the upcoming season. I’m a self-professed Halloween fan, in large part because of the colors!

I hope you’ll head over to the Spellbinders blog for all of the details.

Penny Black – Happy Hedgehog

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, Copic-colored hedgehog card created with Penny Black supplies.

I stamped the hedgehog from the 30-711 Critter Delights set and colored the image with Copic markers.
I cut the scene with a circle die.
I heat-embossed the sentiment from 30-710 Trust Me Builder and cut it with a 1/4″ die.
I added the circle and sentiment strip to a patterned paper background, trimmed the left-hand side of the assembly, and added the rectangle to a textured white cardstock card base.

Spellbinders – Wonderland StoryTime Paint Pens

Hello! Today I am featuring two CAS cards created with Spellbinders supplies showcasing the Jane Davenport Wonderland StoryTime Paint Pens, a set of 10 acrylic paint pens – five colors with two different nibs (broad and fine).

Spellbinders is offering the pen set as part of a “Gift with Purchase” promotion: FREE Wonderland StoryTime Paint Pens with a $75+ order – a $39.99 value!

It’s easy to add paint to a papercrafting project with the pens. On my projects, I created stencils using Spellbinders dies. Using the broad nibs, I “painted” on to black cardstock. Because the paint is fast-drying, I could move to the next line immediately.

On my first project, I cut a stencil with one of the dies in the Art Studio Botanicals set through which I applied paint to draw rainbows.

Using the stencil, I drew rainbows on to black cardstock, staggering the rainbows between lines.

I trimmed the painted panel and added it to a lime-green card base.
I foiled the Crafty Sentiments sentiment with rainbow foil on white cardstock.
I cut the sentiment with a circle die and cut a vellum circle mat, adding the assembly to the card.

On my second card, I used a different die in the Art Studio Botanicals set with which I drew lines and dots on to black cardstock for butterfly wings.

I cut the wings and antenna with dies in the Flutter Wing Shadowbox Butterflies set.
I cut a light purple cardstock square and dry-embossed it with the Bright Days folder, adding it to a square (4 1/4″) white cardstock card base.
I cut the sentiment with the August 2020 Small Die of the Month kit and glued it to the card.

Spellbinders August 2020 Craft Happy

Hello crafty friend! Today I am sharing cards created with new products at Spellbinders this month: the August Small Die of the Month kit, the Crafty Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil set, and the Craft Happy Stamp & Die Bundle. Let’s take a look!

With the the August Small Die of the Month set, I created a CAS Hello card featuring a mandala shape.

The Small Die of the Month set includes a variety of shapes and a full alphabet.

I cut the mandala shapes from cardstock to which I had applied Distress Inks.
I glued the pieces together on to a black cardstock background.
I added a vellum strip to the center, to which I applied double-sided adhesive.
I glued the “Hello” sentiment to the vellum.
I added the black panel to a 4 1/2″ square card base.

My second card showcases a sentiment from the Crafty Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil set and stamped images from the Craft Happy Stamp & Die Bundle.

I foiled the sentiment in Black Foil on white cardstock and cut it with a circle die.
I stamped the images on to cardstock which I had colored with Distress Inks and cut them with their corresponding dies.
I added the sentiment and craft-themed images to a card base covered with rainbow patterned paper.

Sticking with a rainbow theme, my third card uses the paint tube image in the Craft Happy Stamp & Die Bundle set with a sentiment cut with the alphabet dies in the Small Die of the Month set.

I colored cardstock with a variety of Distress Ink colors.
I stamped the cardstock with the paint tube stamp in the Craft Happy Stamp & Die Bundle set and cut with the corresponding die.
I cut the Hello sentiment with the alphabet dies in the Small Die of the Month set and glued the letters to the paint tubes.
I added the paint tubes to a card base covered with patterned paper.
