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.

Clean + Simple Card Making 2 Day Two

Today’s Online Card Classes Clean & Simple Card Making 2 lesson is all about single-layer cards.  My card is a variation of one shared in class by Julie Ebersole. I didn’t have all of the supplies that she did, so simplified the card a bit! Now I’m going to go back and make another card from yesterday’s lesson! Love the inspiration from this class.
