Beautiful Penny Black

Hi friends, I hope you are enjoying a lovely day! I am currently at the cottage and taking some time to make some cards with newer products I have not had a chance yet to use.

I absolutely love anything from Penny Black! I have a nice collection of their stamps and dies and I love to reach for them, especially when I am in the mood to watercolor. I have linked to the products I used. If anything is out of stock, just click the Notify Me button, and you will get an email when the items are available.

I cut a piece of watercolor paper to an A2 size and used the Tim Holtz Spots stencil and some AlteNew Limestone Ink for the background. I stamped the flowers using the “Overflowing” stamp set and the cup using the “Brew-tea-ful” stamp set. I used black waterproof ink. I used Distress Ink in Abandoned Coral, Speckled Egg and Rustic Wilderness to watercolor the stamped images. I used the “Blooms” stamp for the sentiment. I added some white splatter and clear gems to finish the card! Simple, but really pretty with these gorgeous stamps and dies from Penny Black!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!

Have a wonderful week!

Spellbinders Rainbow Slice Tunnel

Hi friends! Welcome back to my blog! How is your summer going? I have not been spending much time in my craft room except for a few moments here and there. I recently purchased some new Spellbinders releases and am having a lot of fun with them! All of the text in gray is product links used for my project. If you are looking for these products, you can click the links to shop!

The Rainbow Slice Tunnel die set is so cool! The set includes 31 dies allowing you to cut the tunnel and then all of the florals and foliage to embellish! I cut the tunnel pieces from some different shades of purple cardstock and then used light blue, yellow and gold to cut the embellishments. I splattered with beautiful gold splatter to complete the card and used the Spellbinders Typewriter Adventures stamp set for the greeting!

Fun New Nautical Themed Spellbinders

Hi friends! I have a new card project to share today using some very cool new Spellbinders dies, stencils and stamps! All of the highlighted text is products used. These are direct links to the products!

I started my card with the Spellbinders Uncharted Waters stencil set. I stenciled the background scene using Distress Oxide Inks in Salty Ocean, Lost Shadow, Crushed Olive, Rustic Wilderness, Hickory Smoke, Black Soot, and Tumbled Glass. Once I had the scene stenciled, I die cut it with a stitched rectangle die .

I used the Oh, Buoy and Guiding Light die sets to die cut the different elements for embellishing the card. I used a craft knife to cut a slot in the background to insert the lighthouse and the post. This gives more of an impression that these elements are protruding from the rock or water.

The stamp set used for the sentiment is called Typewriter Adventure and it is an amazing set for a ton of different occasions!

The die I used for the sentiment banner is a very old one from my stash by My Favorite Things.

I hope you are inspired by my project! It was so fun to create and could be given for almost any occasion!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Poinsettia Bloom

Hello friends! I am excited to share a project today that I created using some gorgeous products from Spellbinders! I have linked to all of the products I have used in the text describing the project below!

The stunning Poinsettia Bloom is one of my new favorite die sets from Spellbinders! I die cut the poinsettia with the outline die from pink and gold cardstock. I added Lisa Horton Interference Ink (Pink Champagne and Cherry Bomb) to the pink cardstock and then paper pieced the pink petals into the gold outline, filling in those spaces in that way (I released the gold petals first).

I die cut the Spellbinders Black Brushed Cardstock with the Spellbinders Notched Corner Frame dies. I adhered the poinsettia onto the frame and added the sentiment below ( the sentiment is from Mix and Match Holiday Greetings from Spellbinders).

I added some gold pearls and gold water color splatter as well as a thin strip of gold metallic cardstock to the bottom! I love how this turned out!

I hope this inspired you today!

Have a wonderful day!

The giveaway closes July 24, 2023, at Midnight EST. The winner will be chosen randomly and posted on the Scrap ‘N Stamp blog.

I created this pretty card for the hop today:

I used the beautiful Penny Black Traverse and Touched by Peace stamp sets! To start my process, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4.25 x 5.5. I placed the panel in my Misti and then using Ranger Archival Inks, I stamped the different areas of the image. The ink colors I used are: Rustic Wilderness, Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint, Ground Espresso, Black Soot, Stormy Sky and Prize Ribbon. I did some ink blending over the sky area with Distress Oxide Stormy Sky. I splattered the stamped image with Dina Wakley white Gloss Spray. I stamped the sentiment with the Touched by Peace sentiment using black ink.

I die cut a stitched rectangle frame from kraft cardstock. I ink blended the edges of the frame with Distress Oxide Gathered Twigs. I trimmed the stamped panel to fit behind the frame. I adhered the frame over the stamped image and added the piece to an A2 landscape top folding card base. To complete the card, I added some Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff and Hero Arts Icicle Pure White glitter to areas where I wanted the look of snow. I added a few sequins to the sentiment area and the card was finished!
