Happy Birthday To You

Hi Creative Friends,

Penny Black has some brand new stamps and dies that we were dying to give a try. To start, we used the giant “YOU” die for our centerpiece, then accompanied it with an adorable hedgehog from the Cheerful Critters stamp set and the Balloons die set for a super fun, but simple, card design that works great for male or female, young, or old!

Penguin Pals + video

Hi Creative Friends,

I am squeezing in another fun and wintery video. This one is highlighting the adorable little penguins in the Penguin Pals stamp and die set by Pretty Pink Posh. I don’t often make cute critters scenes but this one just spoke to me. It was a sheer delight (it really was!) to make this card. So much so, I had to make a video to share it with you.

Autumn Tree Leaves

Hi Creative Friends,

I know we have been featuring lots of holiday card designs but since it is still Autumn I decided to pay tribute to the stunning Fall colors and there is no better way to do that than to use a beautiful Penny Black stamp! Once again, I used the fountain of inspiration from Mimi’s Mimi A La Carte Facebook account for this card.

The stamp is called Winter Still. The title is a little confusing to me but nonetheless, it features glorious leaves and the Always Thankful sentiment stamp set is just too perfect not to use!
