Hello! Today I am sharing a card created with Penny Black dies depicting a yoga studio, inspired by the yoga space on Yoga with Adriene. I have been practicing yoga with Adriene’s videos for the past month, and will be doing so for the foreseeable future, as the local studio is currently closed.

 

• I die-cut the greenery with the Penny Black 51-308 Bold Branch, 51-002 Leaves,  and 51-119 Flower Frolic dies.
• I cut the 51-441 Wood Floors from kraft cardstock.
• I created the containers for the plants by cutting circles and a rectangle and then cutting those shapes again with a rectangle die. I dry-embossed the pots with the TE Weathered folder.
• I created the sentiment on my computer. As a side note, Adriene’s catchphrase is “Find What Feels Good.” Since Adriene’s studio (on tv) has been my “happy place,” I went with that as the sentiment.
• I tried many different backgrounds. Adriene’s yoga space is in her dining room and there are windows covered with white wood blinds in the background. I ultimately dry-embossed white cardstock with a brick background for texture. The other backgrounds I tried took away from the calm space I was trying to depict.

Hello! Today I am sharing two cards on which I’ve combined a variety of Penny Black supplies, which I have owned for years. I tend to get so caught up with new products, I often neglect supplies I already own. The designs of both cards I have previously used.

• I stamped white cardstock using the 40-254 Decadence stamp with a now-retired Stampin’ Up ink (Soft Sky).
• I cut the stamped cardstock with a die in the 51-007 Tagged set three times.
• I cut the two butterflies with dies in the 51-006 Flutters set.
• I stamped the 30-286 Heartfelt sentiment on to light blue cardstock and cut it with a circle die.
• I added the elements to a card base dry-embossed with the Taylored Expressions “Weathered” folder.
• I added twine to the middle tag.

I previously used this same card design here.

On my second card, I used the same color scheme and many of the same elements.

• I stamped the card base with the 40-254 Decadence stamp.
• I cut the notebook paper piece with a die in the 51-053 A Pocket Full set from cardstock stamped with the 40-407 Script stamp.
• I cut the two butterflies with dies in the 51-006 Flutters set.
• I dry-embossed the coral strip with the Taylored Expressions “Burlap” folder.
• I cut the stamped 30-288 Pretty Petals sentiment with a rectangle die.

I previously used this same design on cards here and here.
