Penny Black Leap of Joy

Today, I’m sharing a winter holiday card created with recently released Penny Black stamps and dies. For this card, the gold foil deer, cut with the 51-062 Leap of Joy die, takes center stage.

Penny Black Leap of Joy

To begin, I stamped the card base in a matching ink with the 40-350 Tree-Lined stamp for a tone-on-tone background. (I’ll be reaching for this background stamp again and again for holiday cards.) I cut white cardstock with the 51-057 Polaroid die, onto which I heat embossed the “Seasons Greetings” sentiment, from the 30-255 Most Wonderful set, with gold embossing powder. I added some vellum behind the Polaroid frame onto which I attached the die-cut deer with dimensional adhesive. I debated with my son and husband about the gold cord. As minimalists, they both vetoed the cord, whereas I decided a little extra bling couldn’t hurt.

Penny Black: The Gift

Today I’m sharing a holiday card with Penny Black’s 51-070 The Gift die as the focal point.

I die cut the bird from a gold foil paper. The background was created by stamping the musical notes from the 30-238 Footnotes set on vellum.

I heat embossed the “Seasons Greetings” sentiment from the 30-255 Most Wonderful set with gold embossing powder on a card panel, which I cut with a circle die to expose the musical notes behind.

Penny Black Season’s Greetings

Today I’m sharing a card created with Penny Black stamps from the just-released Season’s Greetings collection.

To begin, I stamped and heat-embossed the 40-341 Adorned With Love stamp with gold embossing powder on vellum. I die cut holiday red cardstock, that I stamped and heat embossed with a sentiment from the 30-257 Joy Filled set. To finish, I attached the vellum to the die-cut panel and attached the panel to a white card base.

Penny Black Dazzlers

Today, I’m sharing a summery “hello” card pairing Penny Black’s 30-237 Dazzlers and 30-240 Textures.

I stamped the medallions from Dazzlers in a combination of summery colors. I stamped the woven (burlap-like) texture onto the orange card base for a tone-on-tone effect. The sentiment, one of my favorites, is from the 30-230 Sunny Hello stamp set

I can see using this same design in cooler colors (maybe even silver and gold) with a holiday sentiment!

Penny Black Remember This – CAS

Today, I’m sharing a CAS card created with products from the recent Penny Black Pocket Treasures release.

Penny Black Remember This - CAS

To begin, I cut the glasses using a die from the 51-055 Shades set several times, from both black cardstock and from patterned paper. I pieced these together and adhered them to solid cardstock cut with one of the dies from 51-053 A Pocket Full, which I had heat embossed with a sentiment from
30-246 Remember This. I attached the panel to a dry-embossed card base.
