Penny Black - Right as Rain

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.

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!

I glued the items to the shelf and the assembly to the panel. The butterfly was added to the scene with foam adhesive.
