Hello! I created a friendship/encouragement card to showcase the 30-816 Garden Fresh stamp set (with coordinating die) from the Penny Black “Delight” release.

Penny Black - CAS XOXO Valentine

  • I gold heat-embossed the 30-667 Love Language sentiment on red cardstock. The sentiment is a multi-line one, which I masked.

Penny Black – Hope Blooms

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS encouragement or friendship card created with Penny Black supplies. Despite the pandemic (our state is under stay-at-home orders until early May), the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and the sun is out.

Penny Black - Hope Blooms

    • I stamped a sentiment from the #30-703 Blooming Sentiments set in black ink on blue cardstock and cut the panel with a 3 1/2″ square die.
    • I cut the tree and flowers with the #51-596 Bird and Branch set. I adhered the tree to the square and trimmed as necessary. I added the flowers with glue.
    • I die-cut the birds using the #51-094 Tweets and #51-050 Tweet Things sets and added them to the panel with foam adhesive.
    • The 4 1/4″ square card base is Bazzill Orange Peel cardstock.

Gone Fishing!

Hello! Seems as if everywhere I turn, there are people fishing! Today I am sharing a watercolored Penny Black image paired with a punny sentiment created on my computer. The image is from an older (and favorite!) Penny Black stamp set – Sunny Days. Let’s take a look!

Gone Fishing!

  • I stamped the image with VersaFine ink on Cold Press watercolor paper.
  • I colored the image with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. The background was colored with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker in Light Blue.
  • I used square dies to cut a frame from the cardstock on which I printed the sentiment, as well as from TE Sweet Potato Pie cardstock for an inner mat.
