Penny Black Abstract Encouragement Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS encouragement card created with Penny Black supplies.

- I stamped the 30-712 Words of Encouragement sentiment on to white cardstock.
- I inked cardstock with Distress Oxide inks and cut it with the largest triangle in the 51-647 Triangles set. I used the same die to cut a frame from black cardstock.
- I cut the 51-650 Viridescent leaves from black cardstock. Using the negative shape, I traced the leaves on to cardstock inked with Distress Oxide inks. I fussy-cut those leaves and glued them to the back of the outline. I trimmed the leaf stem to fit on the bottom of the triangle.
- I added the triangle with its frame and the leaves to the stamped panel.
- I embellished with a butterfly cut with one of the dies in the #51-132 Flights of Fancy set.

Penny Black Geometric Art

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, geometric, thank you card created with Penny Black supplies from the newest release – “Delight.”

I added alcohol inks to a Yupo panel from which I cut the smallest equilateral triangle in the 51-647 Triangles set. The dies in the set cut a solid triangle and a thin outline triangle at the same time.
I heat-embossed a rectangular panel (slightly larger than A2-size) with a sentiment in the 30-813 Ever Thanks set in gold. I glued the triangles to the panel, trimming the overlapping pieces off the sides.
From a Brushed Gold cardstock panel, measuring 4 ¾” x 6″, I cut out an A2 rectangle to make a ¼” frame for the card.

Penny Black Spring Decor

Hello! Today I am sharing a spring version of a card I made last fall with Penny Black supplies. You can see the fall version here.

I cut the shelf, the white flower, hydrangea stem, and vases with dies in the 51-653 Autumn Decor set.
I cut the 51-610 Hydrangea pieces from light-pink cardstock and cardstock to which I had applied Kitsch Flamingo Embossing Glaze.
I cut the bird with the 51-657 Wildwood set from cardstock to which I had applied Broken China Embossing Glaze.
I cut the garden tools, watering can, smaller flowers, and planter with dies in the 51-510 A Garden set from a variety of cardstock pieces.
I adhered the pieces to an A2-size card base on which I had stamped the sentiment from the 30-703 Blooming Sentiments set and applied Distress Inks for the horizon line.

Penny Black Hello Spring Wagon

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, spring-themed “Hello” card created with Penny Black supplies. I previously shared a Valentine’s Day card featuring the 51-646 Wagon Ride set here.

I created a horizon line on a 4 1/4″ square card base.
I cut the 51-646 Wagon Ride set from white, dark grey, brush silver, and kraft cardstock and assembled it.
I die-cut the flowers with the 51-596 Bird and Branch and 51-618 Swinging sets from cardstock colored with Distress Inks, which I heat-embossed with clear embossing powder.
I cut the sentiment with the 51-638 Thanks & Hello set from yellow cardstock.
I adhered the sentiment and flowers to the card base.

Penny Black – Mixed Media Hello

Hello! Today, I am sharing a mixed-media card created with Penny Black supplies. I previously shared a card with the 40-728 Entranced stamp in this post.

To create the background, I stamped 40-254 Decadence on to tissue paper and collaged it to white cardstock. I applied several Distress products to grunge it up.
I stamped the “brushstroke” 40-728 Entranced image with Distress paint on to that surface.
When dry, I added collage medium over the entire image. When that layer was dry, I added Distress ink to the corners, as well as Picket Fence Distress paint.
I cut the sentiment with the 51-638 Thanks & Hello set from cardstock that I had collaged with pre-printed tissue paper. I added Picket Fence Distress paint to the letters to mute the paper’s pattern.
