Penny Black Fly Away

Hello Crafty Friends!

I just love this stamp. It's one of my older ones but this little guy and his dog are just too sweet.

This is my DT card for Addicted To Stamps.  The challenge this month is to create a card for a guy, just in time for Father's day.

Happy Birthday Card

This is my DT card for Addicted To Stamps.  The challenge theme is to use a stamped image and stamped sentiment.

I searched my stash of rubber stamps and decided to use this darling called Tweet Talk from Penny Black.  Isn't she sweet?

I tried something different with this card. instead of just attaching the heart doily to the card, I decided to cut it directly from my card base.  I ran it through my big shot with the edge of the die just slightly over the end of my cutting plate so that it remained attached to the card base. If you want to learn how to create a partial die cut border, there are several videos on Youtube that will show you the technique.

The gorgeous set of papers I used for this card are from Bo Bunny's Butterfly Kisses Collection.

The challenge theme for this week at 52 CCT is to create a card using Christmas candles/lanterns.

I received this stamp set for Christmas and couldn't wait to play.  I colored it with copics and then used extreme glitter paint and stickles around the glow from the candles.  I did add some snow texture for a little added dimension.

Nativity

 

It's Black Friday!
 How many of you braved the stores at the crack of dawn or even earlier to shop?  My husband and I have braved the hordes of shoppers several times.  He is a trooper.  He usually finds a spot in line while I shop.  I really hate crowds.  So black Friday shopping was always very stressful for me.  Gotta find that deal though, right?
I learned several years ago that you can often get the deals that are in the stores online.  So I will be sitting in my pj's and sipping hot chocolate while shopping online.

This card is my reminder of what the season is all about.

I decided to keep the design simple because I really wanted to focus on the image.

This is one of my favorite Penny Black stamps.  Such a sweet scene with the holy family

and the animals.

Christmas Candle

This is the Christmas gift I made for my Mother in law. The stamp is Sweet Nativity by Penny Black. I colored the image with copics and then cut it out and attached to the candle. I am sorry but I didn't write down which copic markers I used for this project.

Nativity

Here's a sweet Christmas card. I used the stamp Sweet Nativity from Penny Black. This is one of my favorite Christmas stamps. The background behind Joseph was first colored with E43 and E41 copics and then I used my gold Spica pen over all of that. when I color over those colors, it makes the gold look more like old gold. I then used a little clear stickles for some added bling.
