A Trio of Penny Black Cards

I hope you all had a great weekend. Ours started with our first snowstorm of the year on Friday. It was so bad that we couldn't drive down our hill. I had to pick up my girls from school and we trekked up our hill while fighting the winds and cold. It was a beautiful sight, reminded me of Narnia, but we were glad it was a short walk. :)

We were also without power for most of Friday and some parts of Saturday, so I wasn't able to post some cards I had meant to post. So we spent most of that time reading (thanks to our charged Kindles!). And speaking of reading, I was so disappointed that The Book Thief, which is advertised as a young adult book, is loaded with cuss words. I was reading it to my girls when I realized it (thankfully I was doing the reading, so I skipped the undesirable words), but we like to take turns. I guess we'll have to shelf that one and look for another book to read together.

Anyway, I have a trio of cards that I made using some Penny Black stamps and papers today. The main image is PB Skyline and the sentiments are from Hot Rod. The papers are PB Madison. I used Madison papers in all three and inked the stamps with coordinating colors. Here it is n red and aqua.
PB-Buildings3
Here it is in golden yellow. I love the turquoise and golden yellow combo. I highlighted the banner sentiments with Want2Scrap pearls.
PB-Buildings2
And the olive and turquoise combo. It is hard to see, but these layers were mounted with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L foam squares to add more depth.

Have a great week, friends! We anticipate more snow this week, but hopefully we won't lose power again.

Penny Black and Moxie Fab Leaf Card

I've been enjoying playing with watercolors since last week and here's another mixed media card I made. I used my Penny Black's Foliage Fancy stamp set and Madison papers for today's card. The leaf and scallop border I made myself using my Silhouette. The tag is from Penny Black's Tagged dies. The Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L photo corner is my favorite little accent lately.
PB-Leaves
I put the watercolor directly onto the solid leaf image and stamped on a thick cardstock. When it dried, I stamped the line image using Versafine ink. I lined it up so it shows through the negative leaf cut and mounted the leaf patterned paper with SAby3L foam squares.

The Craft's Meow's Non-Release Festivities Catch-Up

Hello, friends! Thank you for your sweet comments on yesterday's post HERE and HERE. I have been blessed by your love and prayers. Thank you!

I have missed the last two days of The Craft's Meow's festivities, so here is my catch-up post. First of all, TCM is having a HUGE sale! From now through Sunday, April 21st, take 21% off of your entire order, including already low sale prices on retiring stamp sets, by entering the code April21 at checkout! If your order net of the discount exceeds $50, then place in your cart this month's free gift with purchase, Sweet Silhouettes! As always, orders of $65 or more receive free shipping within the US (discounted shipping for our International customers)

Today's theme is Masculine. I used my Sweet Silhouettes to make this birthday card. I distressed this quite a bit. I've been playing around with my Distress Inks as well. I'm still not good at it and prefer the "cleaner" distressing, if that makes sense :). I die cut the frame using Spellbinders Labels 10. I know lace and Want2Scrap pearls are girly, but I thought I roughen them up enough here to fit in a masculine card. I stapled the messy lace and colored the pearls black with Copic markers. What do you think?
SS-Masculine
My next card is for Tuesday's hop with the Card for a Child theme. I used TCM's Sweet Birthday on this. The papers are October Afternoon. I also used Spellbinders' Lacey Circle die, Copics and Twinery twine. The cake is adorned with Want2Scrap pearls.
TCM-Bday-Wishes2
This next one is for yesterday's Feminine/Mother's day theme. I used Beautiful Spring and Mother & Father stamp sets. The papers are Penny Black's Madison. I colored the butterfly with Copics. I also used some Want2Scrap bling on this card.

Finally, the NinaB Designs team is hopping right now. Check out HERE for more info and giveaway!
This is it for me today. Thank you for your visit and I hope you're all enjoying a beautiful spring day!

Post-Holiday Thank Yous

Before I share my project today, I just want to thank you all for your sweet comments from my last post. You guys are the best and proof why I love being part of the paper crafting community. Thank you!

I have a group of CAS Thank you cards for you today. As we leave the holidays behind us, it is always a great idea to take the time to send a thank you to those who thoughtfully sent you a gift. These cards are winter-themed thank yous. Their easy design make them easy to mass produce.

I used my Penny Black's All is Bright stamp set on two of my cards. The sentiment is from Flower Gallery. A simple little button is all the embellishment I used on all three.
PB-Thanks2
This card uses the Floral Thread stamp, inked in Memento Toffee Crunch ink.
PB-Thanks
This one uses the plaid paper from the Madison pad as a background.

NinaB Designs November Blog Hop

Welcome to the monthly NinaB Designs team blog hop. NinaB Designs is a product designer for a few paper crafting companies, including Spellbinders, Want2ScrapPenny Black, and The Craft's Meow. For this month's hop, I challenged the team to create something with Winter and Holidays in mind.

The holidays provide many opportunities for paper crafters to give an extra personal touch to every occasion.  Whether you are doing place cards for a dinner, tags for gift giving or even just hand made projects using your supplies on hand, it is a blessed season indeed!

I used a lot of scrap papers for my projects today. That is one advantage of using dies.:) My first card uses my Sweet Folk Art dies with Simple Stories and My Mind's Eye papers.
Angel
I used felt for the hair/halo and the heart.Using my white pen, I connected the holes on the wings to make them look stitched. All the dies in this set have the holes for a quilted/stitched look. The sentiment is TCM's Season's Greetings.
Angel-det
My second card is a winter scene using my Home Sweet Home and Sweet Folk Art dies (heart banner). Again these were die cut using My Mind's Eye scraps. I hand cut the snow drift.
All-is-Calm
The background snowflake is Madison Paper pack by Penny Black.The sentimet is from All is Bright stamp set, also by Penny Black.
All-is-Calm-det
Here are the products I used for my project:
S5-141 Sweet Folk Art
To welcome you back to our blog hop, we are giving away PRIZE PACKAGES so be sure to hop along!  Prize Package #1 includes Spellbinders Holly Accents and Classic Petal dies:
 Prize Package #2: Retired Layers of Colors stamps, Vintage Postcard and Elegant Labels
Everybody is welcome to comment and eligible to win. I will announce the winners on  November 23 right here. Due to the number of prizes being given away on my blog and my dependence on my mom to do the shipping, I have to ask that the winners email (via Contact tab above) me with their info within 4 days (till Nov 27) in order to claim the  prize. This will help with organization and avoiding confusion. Thanks for understanding!
Winners will be picked randomly from 2 of the designers' blogs:
