Frosty Wishes
Hi Creative Friends, Today I am sharing a sweet holiday card, featuring a frosty snowman and his tweeting friend from the Frosty Feathers stamp and die set by Penny Black. This set has two festive snowmen and little birdies, so you can decide which you like the best… or make them both. They are each super cute! I started with the main focal point, which, of course, […] 
Merry Wishes
Hi Creative Cardmakiers, I am beginning to build up my holiday card stash. What better way than to use a new holiday stamp and die set by Penny Black called Merry Boughs. This set has a few wonderful pine boughs or trees. Any of the three pine motifs is sure to delight! I started with the lovely pine bough with a pinecone. I am a sucker for […] 
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 […] 
Flourishing Florals
Hi Creative Friends, My card today features the new and beautiful spray of flowers in the Flourishing stamp by Penny Black. As you know, Penny Black excels at gorgeous flowers, and this one is no different. I don’t know the names of many flowers, but these are delicate and sweet, just the same! This card design begins with a piece of hot-pressed watercolor paper, the stamp, and […] 
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 […] 
Fine Red Petals
Hi Creative Friends, I wanted to share one of the new stamp and die sets by Penny Black that our in our shop. I chose Finest Petals for this handmade card. Letting the flowers be the main focal point, I went for a clean and simple design. Starting with the flowers. Using a stamp positioner and a piece of hot-pressed watercolor paper, I stamped the flowers in […] 
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 […] 
Graceful Flowers
Hi Creative Friends, Today, I’m sharing a clean and simple card that comes together quickly but packs a big, beautiful, flowery punch! As you know, Penny Black has awesome floral stamps with incredible detail. The ‘At Grace‘ cling/rubber stamp is just that! You only need a few supplies to make this fun color-resist card, and as I mentioned, you can make it in a hurry. I started […] 
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 […]
