Penny Black – Dream & Discover – Happy Camper

Hello! Along with the nautical theme, I am a big fan of the camping theme for summer cards. I used the newly-released 51-645 Campers die set from Penny Black on a CAS “Happy Trails” card that could work for variety of occasions such as a retirement or an upcoming vacation.

The 51-567 Tree Border was die cut from Noble Fir cardstock and adhered added to the background. The border does not cut the bottom portion so the tree border can be cut to the size you want.
I stamped the 30-841 Happy Camper sentiment on to white cardstock and cut it with one of the dies in the 51-033 Silver Linings set. I cut a second cloud with the same die.
The camper was created with the inlay technique. I cut textured, white cardstock with the 51-645 Campers set. I cut the door out of the camper. I cut the bolt detail out of the camper, with the door in place. I cut the camper from the red cardstock. I cut the bolt from the red camper using the top portion of a guide. I cut the bolt from brushed silver cardstock. I put the pieces together and cut the door again. I backed the assembly with yellow cardstock. The camper is taped together on the back.
I embellished with yellow accents – a butterfly (51-132 Flights of Fancy) and small flowers (51-618 Swinging).

Spellbinders July 2021 Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop sharing projects created with the Spellbinders July 2021 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Emily Midgett. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created a birthday card using this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Mini Slimline Envelope and Nested Card Creator.” I previously shared another card created with the kit here. Scroll for info on a sales event at Spellbinders.

I couldn’t resist creating another red, white, and blue card for a summer birthday!

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, July 18, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Tuesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes. Please note: store credit (gift certificate) cannot be applied to Club Subscriptions; store credit can be applied to shop past Club products, Club extras, and regular releases.

To create the card base, I used a previous Large Die of the Month kit – Colorbock Circles & Stripes – to cut stripes from red, white, and blue cardstock. For the stars layer, I applied embossing paste through the Star Bright Stencil. I embellished the card with flowers cut using the July Large Die of the Month kit and balloons cut using the Celebration Scene die set.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Head next to the blog of Sheri Holt. Scroll for full blog hop list.

Penny Black – Dream & Discover – Tropical Paradise

Hello (Aloha)! Penny Black has just released a new collection -“Dream & Discover.” I am sharing a summer-themed card created with two of the products in the release – 51-643 Tropical Paradise and 30-844 At Ease.

I used the Spellbinders July 2021 Large Die of the Month “Mini Slimline Envelope and Nested Card Creator” to create the card base and backed it with black cardstock.
I cut the 51-643 Tropical Paradise beach silhouette scene from black cardstock and backed it with a circle colored with Distress Oxide Inks.
I stamped the 30-844 At Ease sentiment on to cardstock colored with Distress Oxide Ink and cut it with a circle die.
I die-cut the 51-643 Tropical Paradise hibiscus and foliage from cardstock colored with Distress Oxide Inks and added them to a circle also colored with ink.
I added the three circles to the card base.

Supplies:

Rubbernecker – Gnomes on the Beach

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card showcasing the Gnome Couple die set at Rubbernecker. I previously featured this die set on a card here.

I die cut the Gnome Couple from colored cardstock and assembled the pieces.
I die-cut the Palm Trees from colored cardstock. Before assembling the trees, I added Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink to help blend the two cardstock colors.
I die-cut the Lifeguard Tower from colored cardstock and assembled the pieces.
I stamped the sentiment on to white cardstock and added inks for the sky and sand. This is my “go to” sentiment for gnome-themed cards.
