Penny Black - Right as Rain

Penny Black Peace on Earth

Today, I’m sharing Christmas tags created with Penny Black’s Tagged [51-007] and Wings of Peace [51-011] Creative Dies.

Penny Black Peace on Earth

I cut Penny Black “Mix and Match” papers with the two dies at the same time, positioning the tag die first and then setting the dove die inside. I stamped and heat-embossed the tags with sentiments from Yuletide Greetings [30-132] and backed them with tags cut from metallic cardstock. I really like the deep jewel-toned cardstock with the silver and gold accents. These tags came together very quickly!

Penny Black Deck the Halls

Can you believe it’s less than two weeks from Christmas?! Today, I’m sharing a holiday card created with the Christmas tree stamp from Penny Black’s Season’s Wishes set [30-201]. It’s a versatile clear stamp set with holiday sentiments.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment tree three times – on black cardstock, olive cardstock and red cardstock. For the black cardstock panel, I applied white pigment ink with my finger to give the appearance of chalk (this was done after the heat embossing). I cut selected words from the olive and red cardstock and adhered the words to the black panel. I finished the card off on a patterned paper base with accents of baker’s twine and a bell.

Pinspired Challenge #23

For my card, I was inspired by the color scheme of bright blue, red and white in the inspiration image, as well as the holiday theme.

I stamped Penny Black’s Crystal Pattern [40-162] background stamp with Bahama Blue ink for my background, onto which I added the die cuts. Yes, this card does look a lot like the tags I shared last week! (I actually had this card made several weeks ago for this challenge.) I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of those birch die cuts.

Penny Black Christmas Joy

Today, I’m sharing a holiday card created with Penny Black die cuts and a Penny Black background stamp. I had in mind the “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” tree lighting while making this card. Tonight, the tree will be lit for the first time this holiday season!

Penny Black Christmas Joy

I paired the Penny Black Xmas Tree [51-012] die cut, cut in silver and green cardstock and pieced together, with the “Joy” sentiment from the Love & Joy [51-021] die cut set. I cut the “Joy” sentiment twice, once in silver and once in the red cardstock. I adhered the two together in order to give the sentiment some depth so that it would lay on top of the tree die cut. I positioned it so that the swoop of the “J’ intersected with the curved line encircling the tree. I stamped the card base with the Circle & Lines [40-084] background stamp and heat embossed it with silver powder. As I explained in an earlier post, showing a card made with the Xmas Tree die cut, I really like adding metallic accents to my cards at this time of year!

Penny Black – Magical Season

While I usually create holiday cards in traditional colors, I wanted to be a bit more whimsical with a card using Penny Black’s Dancing Deers stamp set [40-258].

I stamped the deer in a repeating pattern with a turquoise dye ink. I finished the card off with a heat-embossed sentiment from Yuletide Greetings [30-132] on pink cardstock. I can envision this card design in other color schemes – traditional or otherwise!
