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.

Penny Black Spring Decor

  • 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.

  • 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.

Penny Black - Mixed Media Hello

  • 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.

Penny Black – Daydream Hello

Hello! I am sharing a CAS, spring-themed Hello card that features products in the Penny Black Daydream release.

Penny Black - Daydream Hello

  • I cut the 51-650 Viridescent leaves, inlaying the white frame with green leaves. I achieved this by first cutting from white cardstock, putting tape on the back of the white frame, and cutting the leaves and placing them into the frame from the front.
  • I cut the sentiment with the 51-638 Thanks & Hello set from gold foil and white cardstock, which I glued together for depth.
  • I added Distress Ink to the center of a white A2-size card base.
  • I adhered the assembled leaves at the top and the bottom of the card.
  • I glued the letters to the center, using the die-cut negative as a guide.
  • I added the die-cut birds, cut with the 51-657 Wildwood set from textured cardstock, with foam adhesive.

Penny Black – Entranced

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS card created with two stamps from the Penny Black Daydream release.

To create the card, which measures 4 1/2″ x 6 1/4″, I followed the directions for the first card shown in this post from 2016.

Penny Black - Entranced

  • I used several Distress Ink products to stamp the “brushstroke” 40-728 Entranced. Find info and inspiration on the Penny Black blog about the “brushstroke” stamps in this release.
  • Once I finished stamping, I sprinkled on Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine Spray.
  • When the droplets were dry, I stamped the 30-799 Friendship Sentiments sentiment.

Penny Black - EntrancedI am looking forward to stamping the same image with paint, as I did in the aforementioned post.
