Hi Creative Friends,
As many of you know, I love roses!! So, when I saw the beautiful Red Roses die set by Penny Black, I had to give them a try. The awesome thing about this die set is that it cuts out individual roses so you can create your own bouquet or use them one by one!
Hi Creative Friends,
For today’s project, I am taking a page out of Yana Smakula‘s playbook and using a dark background to accent this beautiful rose image called Crimson Blush by Penny Black. Yana does amazing work and I just love her use of dark backgrounds to create drama to her card designs.
Hi Creative Friends,
I was in the mood for a vintage-style botanical card design. I settled on using the beautiful Butterfly Charmer stamp by Penny Black for my butterflies. There are so many gorgeous butterflies in this collage-style stamp to choose from that it was a perfect choice.
Hi Creative Friends,
Today I am having a little birthday fun with adorable critters. I chose a couple of my favorites. One from the Cheerful Critters by Penny Black and the other from My Favorite Things Friends stamp set. I don’t think you can ever have enough birthday cards at the ready and I like to have a variety of styles of birthday cards so that I can find just the right one to suit my birthday recipient.
Hi Creative Friends,
I am loving all ways you can use the new ‘YOU‘ die from Penny Black. It is a fantastic die to have in your stash!
So, with that in mind, here is another card design using this die, along with sweet, French-style flowers from the Flower Medley stamp set by Penny Black and one of my favorite elements, a sentiment banner. I am always so enamored by banners; they are so easy to draw too! Give them a whirl!
But, if you are feeling a little intimidated by drawing a banner yourself, I have included a copy of the one I drew for this card. You can access it here or at the bottom of this post.
Hi Creative Friends,
Happy January 2023! Every January is the month I start thinking about Valentine’s Day and this year I am starting out with the cutest little hedgehog ever! This stamp is called ‘This One” and is from a collection by Penny Black hedgehogs. He is carrying a basket of hearts and he looks so delighted with them as he skips along. Take a look, you’ll see what I mean!
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!
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.
Hi Creative Friends,
I am sharing a holiday card design using the delightful Robin’s Christmas stamp by Penny Black. This stamp features a beautiful wintery scene of a charming little bird. I was so taken by this little robin that I had to make a video showing you all the steps.
I have a project for you today that is filled with Fall colors which are perfect for Autumn and this Thanksgiving week. It features one of my favorite stamps, Illustrious from Penny Black.
