Wonderful Day

I couldn't resist playing with the Wonderful Day stamp set from Penny Black again, I think these hedgies are just so cute! Again I paired them with new stamps and dies from the current release called Hello Sunshine 2023.

I coloured the images with my Karin markers and used the new Hello Edger die to die cut the top part of the panel and to die cut the word 'hello'. I then used the Hello Builder stamp set to add the secondary sentiment. For the part peaking from behind the main panel, I used the Contemporary background stamp, heat embossed it in white and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Scattered Straw to colour the background.  Lastly, I adhered the two panels onto a cardbase.

Floral Impressions

This card turned out very clean-and-simple. I love this daisy from the new Penny Black stamp set called Floral Impressions and I wanted to make it stand out so I decided not to add much else to the card.

I stamped the daisy on kraft coloured Neenah cardstock and coloured the image with my Copics, as I did the tiny little butterfly. I die cut the panel with Leaf Stitched Frames die and stamped the sentiment from the same Floral Impressions stamp set (I just love the fonts on that sentiment!). And that was it! As CAS as it can be!

Hello

This card mixes and matches new Penny Black goodies with some older ones. The lovely hedgie sitting on his flower is from a previously released stamp set called Wonderful Day and I wanted to pair that with the die cut sentiment which is a new die from the current release.

I coloured the image with my Karin markers and fussy cut it out. I then die cut the word 'hello' using the new Hello Edger die (without the edger part) and used it as the stem of the flower. I created the background by masking the edges of the panel and sponging some Distress Oxide inks in Mermaid Lagoon and Peeled Paint onto the panel. Then I stamped the grass part of the rectangle with a stamp from Footnotes stamp set and splattered the panel with some water and Distress ink in Vintage Photo. I adhered the die cut 'hello' to the panel and stamped the words 'my friend' with a stamp from the new Hello Builder stamp set before adhering the hedgie with some foam adhesives. Lastly, I die cut the little butterfly with Soaring die, adhered it in place and embellished it with a sticky back pearl.

Pure Sunshine

I made this card with new stamps from the new Penny Black release, Hello Sunshine. This stamp is called Pure Sunshine.

This is a very clean-and-simple card, almost one-layer except for the enamel dots. I coloured the image with my Copics before masking the edges of the panel and sponging some Distress Oxide inks in Antique Linen, Scattered Straw and Fossilized Amber to create the rectangle. I then used the Hello Builder sentiment set to create the sentiment. Lastly, I embellished the card with some enamel dots.

On your birthday

I made this clean-and-simple card with a stamp by Pinkfresh Studio called Go for It. I coloured the image with my Copics and die cut it with the matching die.  I then masked the rectangle on the background and sponged some Distress Oxide inks in Scattered Straw, Fossilized Amber and a touch of Frayed Burlap onto the panel. I also splattered the panel with some water and Distress Oxide ink in Vintage Photo dilluted with water onto the panel. Then I adhered the floral image on the panel, the stems are adhered with glue and the flower heads with foam adhesives so they pop up a bit. I heat embossed my sentiment (it says 'On your birthday') on a strip of dark brown cardstock and adhered it with foam adhesives. Lastly, I embellished the card with some black gems.

The Color Throwdown #740

I am lucky to be the Featured Stamper for the current Color Throwdown challenge - thank you so much for having me, ladies! You can see the inspiration colours in the graphic below, they are dusty rose, blush and white. I tried to match them as closely as I could in my card.

The stamp I used is from Weekend Doodles set by Altenew. I coloured the image with my Copics and die cut it with the matching die. I die cut the panel with Semi-Circle Stackers die by Penny Black, stamped the sentiment from the Weekend Doodles set on it and adhered the wreath on the panel. I then adhered the panel onto a piece of craft foam before adhering it onto the card base. Lastly, I embellished the wreath with some black  gems.

Now please hop over to the Color Throwdown challenge to see the wonderful cards created by the Design Team and do join in on the challenge!

Poppy Hawthorn

Here's a birthday card I made with Poppy Hawthorn stamp by Waffle Flower. I coloured the image with my Copics and die cut it with the matching die. I used the matching die to die cut  a piece of craft foam as well, I attached the image on the die cut piece of craft foam to make it stand out a bit. I then die cut a piece of grey cardstock with Penny Black's Leaf Stitched Frames die to create a panel before splattering it with some white watercolour. For the background, I used a piece of patterned paper and adhered the panel and the flower on it. I heat embossed the sentiment (it says 'Today is your day' in Finnish) on a piece of black cardstock and adhered it in its place before embellishing the card with some white half pearls.
