Winter - Right as Rain

Penny Black Winter Cheer

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS winter-themed card featuring Penny Black supplies including products from the recently-released Winter Wishes Collection. I’m transitioning from Christmas-themed to winter-themed cards. This card is right in between and uses one of my favorite color schemes for this time of year.

I stamped the 30-762 Bright and Light sentiment in white pigment ink on teal cardstock (it’s from Gina K and unfortunately no longer available).
I die-cut the 51-663 Moonlit ornament pieces from white cardstock. I trimmed off the quarter moon from the pine tree layer. I used the front piece to cut silver foil for the ornament topper. I cut a circle from red cardstock and adhered it to the back. I cut the deer from brown cardstock and added him with foam adhesive.
I cut the boughs and ribbon with the 51-659 Beautified Baubles set.
I added the pieces to the sentiment panel and the assembly to a textured white cardstock base.

Penny Black – Christmas Ornaments

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS holiday card created with Penny Black die sets.

With the 51-659 Beautified Baubles set, I cut the two ornaments. The set includes overlay dies; I used the circle die in the set alone.
I cut the snowflake strip with the 51-671 Cozy die.
I added the Cozy strip to a card base covered with patterned paper.
I adhered the assembled ornaments to the strip.
I adhered the sentiment cut with the 51-698 Frozen Vista Cut Out to the top.

Penny Black Winter Greetings

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS seasonal card created with Penny Black supplies. I wanted to create a card that celebrated the beauty of the winter months.

I die-cut the polar bears with the 51-668 Festive Family set from white flock.
I die-cut the snow bank with the same set and added it to a navy cardstock panel, on which I had stamped the 30-731 Christmas Moments sentiment in white pigment ink.
To fill the sky, I added snowflakes cut with the 51-268 A Blizzard, 51-080 Around Town, and 51-066 Crystal Trio sets.
I added the polar bears with foam adhesive.
I added the panel to a patterned paper card base for additional visual interest.

Paper Smooches – February LOVE Challenge

Hello! Today I am sharing a card which I’m entering into the Paper Smooches LOVE Challenge.

I’m going to start with what I like most about this card – it expresses love without being a traditional, romantic Valentine.
With the Paper Smooches Coffee & Tea die set, I die-cut the tea pot, tea bag, cups, and snowflakes. For the teapot, I cut the pot twice, the second time trimming off the bottom part to make the lid.
I stamped the Winter Sampler sentiment and blended the sky by masking off the lower area. I applied the ink from the top.
I embellished with snowflakes cut with the Snowflakes die set.
This card is 4″ square. I wanted the elements to be close together to feel cozy and warm.

Paper Smooches Chilly Chum

Hello! Recently, I’ve been practicing my coloring and using never-used and/or under-used products. I’ve owned the Chilly Chums set from Paper Smooches for many years and have never used it! I created a card with the cute fox image in the set.

I Copic-colored the fox and shaded it with colored pencils.
I created the card background by cutting a hill out of vellum, placing the hill on to the white cardstock and brushing Tumbled Glass ink as the sky.
I heat-embossed the Winter Sampler sentiment in red to match the card base.
I added snowflakes to the scene and popped the fox on to the card with foam adhesive.
