Technique – Stamping

Featuring stamping

Winged Wreath

Hello again  everyone!

My last card for today is another one I made for my lovely mum using Penny Black products.

When I saw the latest release, the Winged Wreath cling stamp (40-886) took my breath away. Isn’t it a beautiful stamp – so delicate and eye-catching!

I coloured it with my Twinkling H2O paints, and added LOTS of glitter and a few die cut butterflies from the Flourish and Butterflies set (51-198) and the Soaring set* (51-731).

The sentiment is  from the Without Limits mini stamp set* (30-949).

Enchantment

Happy Saturday  everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown using products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

When I saw the combo, I decided to step outside my comfort zone, pull out my watercolour paints and ink up the beautiful new cling stamp called Enchantment (40-885). I have to confess, I get a little nervous water colouring such a large stamp but I really enjoyed the process – the stamp was much easier to colour than I was expecting! While it was drying, I smooshed some brown distress ink onto a cream card base. I then fussy cut the image (which was also pretty easy) and adhered it to my card base with a few sticky fixers.

The sentiment is  from the Without Limits mini stamp set (30-949).

Cherished 2023

Hello everyone!

Today I’m sharing some cards I made with products kindly sent to me by Penny Black, showcasing the wonderful floral dies from their Cherished 2023 release.

First up is this Thinking of you card, made with a dear friend in mind. I coloured the three daisies from the Delicate Daisies die set (51-763) with distress inks and then tucked them in the centre of that fabulously bold YOU die (51-760)! The stamped ‘thinking of’ is from part of a stamp from the Thinking of You stamp set (30-825).

 

 

 

I then turned my attention to the Finesse die (51-769). Again I coloured it with distress inks and added a bit of glitter. While I was waiting for that to dry, I turned my attention to my card base. I adhered the largest die cut from the Framed set (51-622) and then masked it off before stamping the Letter Background (40-780) in the centre. I then adhered the die cut on top and added a sentiment from the Without Limits mini stamp set (30-949).

 

 

Next up is the Floral Twirl die (51-768) – isn’t that a pretty name! And it is certainly a pretty die! Again coloured with distress inks – and I added some leaves from the An Impression die set (51-735). The sentiment from the Delightful Day stamp set (30-955).

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, I wanted to share the card I made on Saturday using the Burst of Blooms die (51-764) – click here to read about that one.

Warmest Snowdrop Wishes

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge using products by Penny Black.

Following the sketch, I used a couple distress inks to create a blended strip on the left of my card base. I then stamped and fussy cut the beautiful snowdrop vase image from the Wintry Whites mini set (30-634). I absolutely adore this image and as my snowdrops well and truly popped this week, I knew I had to use it again this weekend. You can see the cards I’ve made before here and here.

After colouring the image with my Twinkling H2O paints, I adhered it to my blended panel using sticky fixers for a bit of dimension. To complete my card, I added a sentiment from the Nature’s Rubies mini set (30-937) and a few sequins.

Tree-heart love

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with one of my favourite colour challenges – the Color Throwdown using some of my favourite Penny Black products.

This week, the colour combo is red, green and brown and I was SORELY tempted to make a Christmas card! In the end though, I decided to use one of my favourite Penny Black cling stamps – Tree-Heart (40-505). You can see a couple of my older creations here and here! Isn’t it funny that I also made them for Color Throwdown challenges?!

Today, I embossed the main image and coloured it with my Twinkling H2O paints and added some splatters. I cut a couple of strips brown card using a die from the Lovely Border frames set (51-484) and adhered them to my square card base. Finally I added a sentiment from the Special Sentiments set (30-574 ).

Day 5 – 6 Days of Christmas Tags 2022

 

Hi everyone!

As Tracey McNeely isn’t running her 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year, I have created my own event using 25 days from Tracey’s event posts over the last decade, as I explained in this post. Unfortunately I only had time to make six tags this year.

Day 5’s inspiration is Day 17, 2018. Click here to see the tag I made then!

I had so much fun with this tag! I chose a circle die from Simon Says Stamp and images by Mama Elephant.

Thanks for stopping by!
