Brew-Tea-Ful Florals

I wanted to have a bit of a play with the tea cups from the new Penny Black stamp set Brew-Tea-Ful and see what florals I could fit in it. I chose the stamp New Day, coloured the image with my Karin markers and fussy cut the flowers leaving the watering can out. The flowers fit the tea cup perfectly! I then took the die cut tea cup, ink blended it with Distress Oxide inks in Salvaged Patina and Brushed Corduroy before stamping the tea cup itself on it with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink and splattering the tea cup with the same inks. For the background, I used the frame die cut with Frame It die and ink blended with Distress Oxide inks in Speckled Egg and a tiny bit of Hickory Smoke and splattered with watered down Speckled Egg ink. I then used the Filigree embossing folder and embossed a piece of vellum with it. I placed the embossed vellum behind the frame and layered it all on a piece of cream coloured cardstock. After adhering everything in place (I adhered the florals with foam adhesives), I embellished the card with some brown gems. This time I chose to leave the card without a sentiment as I find I sometimes need 'plain' cards with no sentiments.

Overflowing Blooms

I made this clean and simple birthday card with a stamp from the new Overflowing stamp set by Penny Black from their latest release, All Smiles. I stamped the flowers on the bottom right corner and coloured them with my Copics. I then used a stencil from the stencil set Background Basics and ink blended the background with Distress Oxide inks in Antique Linen and a tiny bit of Brushed Corduroy before stamping the sentiment from the sentiment set Delightful Day and splattering the background with white, brown and gold watercolour. Lastly, I embellished the card with some gems.

Overflowing Envelope

I think these tulips from the new Overflowing stamp set from the latest Penny Black release, All Smiles, are a perfect fit with this envelope from the Exquisite Envelope set, also by Penny Black. I stamped, watercoloured and die cut with the matching dies the images. I cut one of the tulips off to make the image sit better in the envelope, and placed that tulip in the front of the other tulips. I also stamped the envelope with the cute little postage stamp from the Overflowing set. For the background, I used coloured cardstock and a frame die cut with Frame It die. I die cut the frame of white cardstock and ink blended it with Distress Oxide inks in Antique Linen and Tattered Rose. The sentiment I used is from the sentiment set Magical Friendship. After I had adhered everything in their places, I embellished the card with some clear enamel dots.

Brew-Tea-Ful

I had fun playing with one of the tea cups from the new Brew-Tea-Ful stamp set from Penny Black. The tea cups in this set are a great size for all kinds of bouquets to be arranged in them. This time I used flowers from the Abloom stamp set and some die cuts. I coloured the tea cup and the flowers with my Copics. I then die cut the leaves with a die from the Leaves die set and other greenery with the Blustery die set and coloured them with my Copics, too. I then die cut the panel with a die from the Border Collection die set and stamped the sentiment from the sentiment set Brighten the World. On the piece of cardstock behind the panel, I stamped with a stamp from the Footnotes stamp set, heat embossed it in white and ink blended Distress Oxide inks in Tattered Rose and Victorian Velvet on it. Lastly, I adhered everything in place (I adhered the panel with some foam adhesives so it is a little raised from the cardbase) and embellished the card with some simple white pearls.

Man's Best Friend

I think these doggos are so very cute! They're from the stamp set Man's Best Friend and are a part of the Fan Favorite selection in the new release by Penny Black called All Smiles.

For the first card I chose the happiest dog ever and coloured him with my Karin Markers. I then die cut the panel with Stitched Nested Frames die and stamped the sentiment from the sentiment set Carefree Wishes - I think that sentiment is a spot on with the happy doggo! I matted the panel onto some dark grey cardstock and added a bit of patterned paper on the background. Lastly, I embellished the card with some enamel dots.

I did the second card in a similar manner to the first one. The image is from the same stamp set, Man's Best Friend, as is the sentiment I used. Colouring with Karin Markers, background paper from the Coco Style paper pad and embellished with enamel dots.

Little Guy

I have two sons and four nephews so I love good 'boy stamps'! I was so thrilled to see that Penny Black had a great set of boy stamps in their recent release, All Smiles. The stamp set is called Little Guy and it has three stamps, I used two in these cards.

For the first card, I used the little guy with his toy boat and coloured the image with my Copics adding a little bit of white gel pen here and there. I then used the Hello Edger die to die cut the panel and the word 'hello'. I die cut the hello a couple of times and adhered them on top of each other to make the die cut word a little more prominent. The secondary sentiment is from the Hello Builder stamp set. I also used a bit of patterned paper on top of the card, the paper is from the Gentle Whisper paper pad. Lastly, I embellished the card with some enamel dots.

For the second card, I used the little guy playing football. Again I coloured the image with my Copics and die cut the panel with a die from the Border Collection die set and added a bit of patterned paper from the Gentle Whisper paper pad behind the panel. The sentiment I used is from the sentiment set Carefree Wishes. I used enamel dots here too to embellish the card.

Overflowing still

 I'm still having fun with the new Overflowing stamp set from the latest Penny Black release called All Smiles. This time I decided to use the tulips from the set. I coloured the image with my Copics before die cutting it with the matching die, Overflowing Cut Out. I also chose a tea cup from the new Brew-Tea-Ful stamp set, stamped it, die cut it with the matching die (Brew-Tea-Ful Cut Out) and coloured it by lightly ink blending Distress Oxide inks on it. For the background I used a stencil from the previously released stencil set Background Basics and ink blended some Distress Oxide inks through it. The sentiment I used is from the sentiment set Brighten the World. Lastly, I embellished the card with some clear gems.
