Penny Black - Right as Rain

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!

Penny Black – Time to Bloom

Hello! Today I am sharing a spring-themed card suitable for encouragement, congratulations, or friendship featuring Penny Black supplies from their most-recent release – “Secret Garden.”

I stamped and watercolored the cute bear image from 30-687 Plant Sunshine and once dry, I cut the image with its coordinating die set.
I die-cut the 51-623 Pretty Picket fence and the blooms with the 51-596 Bird and Branch set.
I stamped the patterned paper background with a sentiment from the 30-703 Blooming Sentiments set.
I assembled the scene and added the panel to a patterned paper card base.

Alone Together – Penny Black Die-Cut Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS encouragement card with a die-cut scene depicting the current “Alone Together” world that we live in. Whether you are in the city, in the suburbs, on the farm, … we’re in this together!

I die-cut the houses with the #51-459 Neighborhood Border die from navy cardstock and backed the windows with yellow cardstock.
I die-cut the skyline with the #51-017 Downtown die from gray cardstock and backed the windows with yellow cardstock.
I cut the hearts with dies in the #51-090 Little Ornaments and the #51-281 What’s in Your Cup? sets.
I created the sentiment on my computer.

Penny Black Tulip Truck

Hello! Today I am sharing a card I crafted using Penny Black die sets, which was inspired by a hooked wool pillow I saw in the window of a local store (image courtesy of Mud Pie).

I began by die-cutting and assembling the #51-571 Vintage Truck. I backed the window with a lighter blue cardstock.
I cut the tulips with the #51-043 Dainty die from green and two shades of pink. I trimmed the tulip blooms and attached them to the stems.
I die-cut the sentiment with the #51-040 Hello Frame set.

Sending warm thoughts during these uncertain times in our global community!

Thoughts of Hope – Penny Black Flowers

Hello! Today I am sharing a card created with Penny Black supplies spreading the message of hope in these uncertain times. Crafting keeps me grounded these days.

I added Tumbled Glass ink to the center of a white cardstock card base.
I stamped an inspiring sentiment from the #30-703 Blooming Sentiments set in black ink.
I cut the flowers, foliage, shelf, watering can, tools, and butterfly with the #51-635 Buckets of Flowers, #51-510 A Garden, and the #51-610 Hydrangea die sets.
I glued the items to the shelf and the assembly to the panel. The butterfly was added to the scene with foam adhesive.

Stay safe!
