Charisma

I made three cards with a new stamp set by Penny Black called Charisma which has matching dies (Charisma Cut-Out) as well.

For all the cards I first coloured the images with my Copics and used the matching dies to die cut them. Then for the first two cards I used dies from the set Border Collection to die cut the panels (the side of the panel on the first card and the bottom on the second card) after which I placed some patterned paper behind the die cut edge. I adhered the panels with some craft foam so that they are a little raised but before I did that, I stamped the sentiments on the panels. Both sentiments come from Delightful Day sentiment set. For the third card, I die cut pale blue cardstock with Geometric Circles die to get the beautiful die cut panel. The sentiment comes from Without Limits sentiment set, I heat embossed it in white. Lastly, I embellished the cards, the first one with pink enamel dots, the second one with clear drops and some twine, and the third card with white half pearls and a little heart die cut with Hearts Galore die and coloured with Copics.

Happy Mail

This stamped image was so much fun to colour! The stamp I used is a new one from Penny Black called Happy Mail, from their Cherished 2023 collection. 

I coloured the image with my Copics and added some white gel pen to it. I then masked the edges of the panel and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Bundled Sage onto the panel before stamping the sentiment from Delightful Day sentiment set. Lastly, I embellished the card with some sparkly golden enamel dots.

Winged Wreath

I made an almost one-layer card with a new stamp by Penny Black called Winged Wreath. I coloured the image with my Copics and added a bit of white gel pen here and there. I then masked the edges of the panel and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Salvaged Patina onto the panel before stamping a sentiment from the sentiment set Not Older, Better inside the wreath. Lastly, I embellished the card with some clear sequins (hence the card being an almost one-layer).

Delicate Daisies

 Here's a little card I made using the new Penny Black dies called Delicate Daisies. I coloured the die cuts using my Copics and added a bit of white gel pen to them. I then masked the edges of the panel and sponged some Distress Oxide inks in Salvaged Patina and Frayed Burlap on it before splattering it with some water. I arranged the flowers on the panel and adhered the flower heads with foam adhesives and the stems with glue so that the flower heads 'pop' a bit from the background. The bow is die cut with a die from the Jumbo Bauble die set and coloured with Copics as well. I also adhered a half pearl to embellish the bow. The sentiment comes from Happy Mail stamp set.

Expressive

This floral stamp is called Expressive and it's from the new Cherished 2023 release by Penny Black.

I coloured the image with my Copics and die cut the panel with Semi-Circle Stackers die. I left the die in place and sponged some Distress Oxide inks in Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap on the panel. I then stamped the sentiment from the new Delightful Day sentiment set on it after which I splattered the panel with some gold ink and brown ink. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a piece of dark brown cardstock.

Enchantment

Here's a card I made with the new Penny Black stamp called Enchantment. I decided to not colour it at all as I thought the stamp is so beautiful I wanted to let it shine on its own.

I stamped the image on a panel of kraft cardstock in brown ink and adhered the panel onto white cardbase. I then die cut the word 'hug' with Hug Edger die three times, stacked the words on top of each other to make the die cut word a little more prominent and attached it in its place. Lastly, I embellished the card with some self-adhesive pearls.

Hayley the Hero

I wanted to send a little encouragement card to someone and thought that this Stamping Bella stamp called Tiny Townie Hayley the Hero would be perfect for the card. I coloured the image with my Copics before die cutting the panel with Penny Black's Lovely Border die. I left the die in place and sponged some Distress Oxide ink to the panel. The sentiment is from Penny Black's Words of Encouragement sentiment set. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a piece of purple cardstock  before embellishing it with some gems.

Prized

This is one of the most beautiful rose stamps ever! It's called Prized and it's a new stamp from the new Penny Black collection called Cherished 2023.

I coloured the rose with my Copics before fussy cutting it out. I then die cut the frame with Stitched Loops die and adhered it with foam adhesives onto a piece of blue cardstock onto which I had sponged a little bit of Distress Oxide ink in Salvaged Patina, splatterd a bit of gold spray and stamped the sentiment from the new sentiment set Delightful Day. I adhered the rose with foam adhesives as well. Lastly, I embellished the card with some clear sequins.

Fresh Cut Flowers

Here's a birthday card I made a while ago with My Favorite Things stamp Fresh Cut Flowers. I coloured the image with my Copics, stamped the sentiment (it says something like 'Congratulating you' in Finnish) and matted the panel onto some black cardstock before adhering it onto the cardbase. Lastly, I embellished the card with some sparkly golden enamel dots.
