Penny Black | Thank You Bouquet

Hello! Today I am sharing a card created combining Penny Black supplies – dies, background stamp, and clear stamp set. I previously created similar cards that can you see here and here.

I primarily used Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstock on this card. The specific colors are listed below. I have found starlitstudio.net to be a great resource for Bazzill Card Shoppe.

Cut Creative Curves from Robin’s Egg cardstock; back with Jawbreaker panel.
Cut Daisy Delight from white and Caramel Apple cardstock. Trim off blooms and add to stems. Color centers of flowers with Copic markers Y 32 and Y 38.
Cut Penny Black Mason Jar (available on the Penny Black website) from Sea Glass cardstock. Cut a slit in the jar for the stems; color with Distress Oxide ink for dimension. Slip assembled flowers through the slit and tape on back. Tie natural twine around the top.
Stamp Flower Teddy sentiment on white cardstock in black ink. Trim with banner die.
Add Creative Curves assembly to card base. Add assembled jar and flowers. Add sentiment strip. Embellish with butterfly cut with die in the Penny Black Flights of Fancy set (available on the Penny Black website).

Rubbernecker | April 2022 Release

Hello! I am delighted to share two CAS cards created with new dies in the April Rubbernecker release, which includes cover plates, garden dies, and stamp sets.

The Shed Bird House Add-On die works with the Shed die to create a large birdhouse.

I paired the birdhouse with birds created with the Spring Birds die.

On both cards, I used a sentiment from the Kittie Says Springtime set.

The Shed Bird House Add-On die set includes several options for the birdhouse opening and a smaller heart die. I sprinkled several hearts on the patterned-paper background to reinforce the theme.
