Sending Handmade Hugs
Hi Cardmaking Friends, I am sharing another floral card design, this time using Penny Black’s Sending Blooms stamp and die set. I love flowers, so when I need a creative jump start, I grab a floral stamp, especially from Penny Black stamps. It always gives me a little boost of energy and enthusiasm. I began with a piece of hot-pressed watercolor paper, a stamp positioner, and the […]

Fluttering By…
Hi Creative Friends, Today I have another Papertrey Ink card design for you. In their last release, there was a myriad of butterflies to choose from. The Build-A-Butterfly and its matching stencil set really caught my eye! I often don’t have a preconceived notion of what my card design will look like. When this happens, I dive into creating the main subject and hope I’ll have a […]

Violets In Bloom
Hi Creative Friends, I saw a beautiful card with an awesome layout by Elizabeth Price (IG: @seeinginkspots). I have had it in mind for some time now, and finally, I’m going to give it a go. I used a few rectangular die sets by Penny Black and Into The Blooms: Violets for my flowers. I started with a sheet each of Alabaster cardstock by Spellbinders and Neenah […]

Glorious Peony
Hi Creative Friends, I am back with a project using another of Penny Black’s beautiful floral stamps. This time, I am using “Peony“, which has two glorious blossoms. This is a rubber cling stamp, so it requires less fiddling. In fact, I think the secret to these types of stamps, one that is not an outline but rather a fully detailed flower, is to stop sooner than […]
Pretty Hydrangeas
Hi Creative Friends, I am sharing a new card design featuring Penny Black’s second in the Flower of the Month series, Hydrangeas. It has a matching die set and is filled with beautiful, full hydrangeas, a library-like grid, and lovely sentiments. To begin, I mounted a panel of cold-pressed watercolor paper and the hydrangea stamps in my stamp positioner. To ink and stamp these flowers, I first […]
