Penny Black “Jumbo Love”

Today, I’m sharing a Penny Black Valentine combining an image from the Penny Black jumbo love  [30-209] stamp set (an adorable set!) with a from the heart  [30-207] set sentiment.

JumboLoveI stamped the elephant on gray cardstock (Penny Black “mix & match” paper) with Versafine ink and heat-embossed it with clear powder, and then fussy-cut it. I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment and die cut it with a circle shape to resemble a ball, as you would find at the circus. I also stamped the elephant on a background (also Penny Black “mix & match” paper) as it’s difficult to fussy-cut the tail. The elephant is adhered with dimensional foam. I finished the card with some die cut hearts.

Penny Black Valentine’s Day Card

There’s been some wonderful inspiration over on the Penny Black Blog using the latest release Sending Hugs. In fact, Penny Black is holding a Sending Hugs challenge – read all about it here.

Today, I’m sharing a card using three stamp sets from the release – ooh la la [30-210], from the heart [30-207] and rose edging [30-206].

I stamped one of the images from  rose edging twice on the card base. On a rectangular panel, I stamped and Copic-colored an image from ooh la la, combining it with a die-cut heart which was heat embossed with a sentiment from the from the heart set. I finished the card off with a white ribbon bow.

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.

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.

Penny Black Deck the Halls

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.
