Penny Black - Right as Rain

Penny Black Butterflies – Two Versions

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.

Penny Black – A Floral Hello

Hello! Today I am sharing a “Hello” card created with Penny Black supplies.

I stamped the 30-704 Wings and Vases image and colored it with Copic markers and colored pencils.
I cut the image with its corresponding die set.
I cut the 51-611 Creative Curves from white cardstock and backed it with a rectangle.
I die-cut the sentiment, using the 51-040 Hello Frame die, three times (for extra dimension) and glued the pieces together.
I applied double-sided adhesive to vellum and cut a rectangular strip. With the vase in place on the Creative Curves piece, I adhered the vellum. I then glued the Hello sentiment to the vellum strip.
I stamped the light-orange paper with the 40-254 Decadence stamp for the card base.
I added the assembly to the card base.
I added butterflies, cut with a die in the 51-132 Flights of Fancy set, to the scene for additional interest.

A few weeks ago I shared another card created with a different image from the 30-704 Wings and Vases set.

Penny Black – A Carefree Day

Hello! Wishing you a carefree day – doesn’t that sound blissful? Today I am sharing a CAS, die-cut, garden-themed card created with Penny Black supplies.

I stamped the 30-700 Carefree Wishes sentiment on to a white cardstock panel.
I added Summer Sky ink to the background.
I cut the flowers, foliage, shelf, watering can, tools, pots, and butterfly with the 51-635 Buckets of Flowers, 51-510 A Garden, and the 51-610 Hydrangea die sets.
I placed the scene on to an orange cardstock base. I tried yellow, blue, and red before deciding that the orange was “just right”!

Supplies:

Penny Black Wings and Vases

I stamped the 30-700 Carefree Wishes sentiment on to a white cardstock panel.
I added light blue ink to the panel in the area where the vase of flowers would be placed.

Penny Black – Hope Blooms

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS encouragement or friendship card created with Penny Black supplies. Despite the pandemic (our state is under stay-at-home orders until early May), the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and the sun is out.

- I stamped a sentiment from the #30-703 Blooming Sentiments set in black ink on blue cardstock and cut the panel with a 3 1/2″ square die.
- I cut the tree and flowers with the #51-596 Bird and Branch set. I adhered the tree to the square and trimmed as necessary. I added the flowers with glue.
- I die-cut the birds using the #51-094 Tweets and #51-050 Tweet Things sets and added them to the panel with foam adhesive.
- The 4 1/4″ square card base is Bazzill Orange Peel cardstock.

We’re in this together! Stay safe!
