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).

Penny Black Tulip Truck

  • 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.

Elizabeth Craft Designs Bunny

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, spring-themed card created with the Elizabeth Craft Designs Bunny die. He looks like he’s already full of carrots!

  • I die-cut the bunny from Simon Says Stamp Fog cardstock and a Stampin’ Up pink carstock, which is now retired. I used the eye dies from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Penguin set for the bunny’s eye (the Bunny die set simply places an indent in the eye area), and I added cheeks cut with a hole punch.
  • I propped the bunny on to a stack of greenery cut with the ECD Forest Accessories set.
  • The sentiment is from a now-retired MFT stamp set. I don’t own a lot of Easter or bunny stamp sets, so this one is in heavy rotation at this time of year!
  • I cut the background gingham paper with an oval die made by Taylored Expressions and added the assembly to a patterned paper card base (also from the Echo Park I Love Spring pack).

Thoughts of Hope - Penny Black Flowers

  • 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.

Spellbinders March 2020 Small Die of the Month kit

  • I die-cut the bunny, carrot, and flowers with the March Small Die of the Month kit.
  • I used the negative piece of the carrot to trace the carrot shape on to patterned paper which I glued behind the carrot frame.

  • I attached the rabbit and flowers, as well as the carrot tops, to the carrot and then attached the assembled to the slider.
  • I stamped a sentiment on to white cardstock, cut it with a rectangular die, and added that to the top part of the insert.
  • The lower portion accommodates the gift card. I added twine through the hole of the insert with which to pull the insert.
