Penny Black Die-cut Birthday Wishes

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS birthday card created with two Penny Black die sets – #51-609 Balloons and #51-338 Birthday. The #51-609 Balloons die set is part of their most recent collection – Secret Garden.

The Balloons die set includes two balloon sizes. I cut both sizes from bright-colored cardstock (the green and orange balloons were cut with the smaller die, the pink and yellow with the bigger one).
I arranged the balloons in an overlapping fashion. I adhered the arrangement to the base and trimmed the panel.
I cut the Happy Birthday sentiment three times from white cardstock for extra depth.
I added the bows and strings to the balloons before adhering the sentiment.

Supplies: MFT Razzle Dazzle cardstock, Gina K Turquoise Sea cardstock

Lawn Fawn Spring House

Hello! Today I am sharing a spring-themed card created with a variety of Lawn Fawn supplies.

It was a lot of fun choosing colors for the spring-themed house. I used a number of die sets to construct the background. It was a bit tricky trimming off the frame of the Leafy Tree Background!

Hope there are signs of spring in your part of the world (Northern Hemisphere that is).

Supplies: Lawn Fawn Picket Fence Border

Penny Black “Secret Garden” Die-cut Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a spring-themed card featuring products from Penny Black’s “Secret Garden” release.

This release is packed with stamps and dies well-suited for a multitude of spring occasions. There are a number of scene-building dies in this release, many of which I’ve used on my card.

I stamped the background with a sentiment in the #30-703 Blooming Sentiments set.
I cut the tree, flowers, bird, and heart with the #51-596 Bird and Branch set.
I used the #51-630 Rolling Hills and #51-623 Pretty Picket sets to add to the scene and accessorized the foreground with the #51-635 Buckets of Flowers set.

Paper Smooches – Cacti Scene

Hello! Today I’m sharing a die-cut scene created with the Cacti die set from Paper Smooches. This card is a change of pace now that Valentine’s Day is in the rear-view mirror.

I colored white cardstock with a variety of Distress Inks and cut it with dies in the Cacti die set.
I added the needles and blooms to the cacti and placed them into pots.
I stamped the Fun and Flirty sentiment on to the card base.
From a horizon line, I applied Distress Inks for the sky and for the ground, masking with a vellum strip.
I added the cacti and other plants to the scene.
