One hundred twenty....

I was honored to create sample boards for Penny Black retailers for CHA. 

I'm happy to report I've crossed the following off of my to-do list:

Create 120 cards

scrub ten VERY inky fingers

REST!:)

I can't wait to share some cards using stamps from the new Penny Black Christmas catalog! (Oh, and the new Halloween stamps are to-die-for cute!) In the meantime, here's a look at a set of cards I created for retailer boards last year:

Hope your week is off to a great start. See ya soon! :)

Hi everyone! I recently created a set of four coordinating cards using stamps from Penny Black's most recent releases.  Here are two of those cards:

All stamps by Penny Black: 30-113 Petal Party, 30-116 Social Butterfly, 30-114 Puzzle Parts, 40-134 Wallpaper Print

I'll be back soon to share the rest of the set... until then, happy stamping!

New video is up....

I hope you can stop by the Penny Black blog today to check out a new PB&J video tutorial--

Inspired by...Heather Telford's Happy Bday Butterfly

When I saw Heather Telford's Happy Birthday Butterfly card on the Penny Black blog today I just had to try her technique myself. You can read about the specific technique on her blog HERE.  In creating this set of three mini cards, I used Tsukineko Memento inks for my backgrounds and stamping.

Memento Inks: Nautical Blue, Teal Zeal, Gray Flannel

Penny Black Stamps: 30-112 Round and Round, 30-113 Petal Party

Memento Inks: Morocco, Love Letter, Peanut Brittle

Penny Black Stamps: 30-113 Petal Party, 3367H Lace Flower Trio

Memento Inks: Northern Pine, Olive Grove, Pistachio

Penny Black Stamps: 3872 H Astilbe, 30-104 Sweet Wishes

Thanks for visiting! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.  See you on Monday with a new PB&J Video Tutorial. :)

Set

Hi, my friends! I hope all of you who celebrate the 4th of July had a awesome day yesterday.  Mine was filled with wonderful time spent with family (and some delicious picnic/barbeque food, too!).

I created this set a while back and hadn't shared here yet because it was definitely one of those projects that took me forever and I wasn't ever totally happy with the final result.  Don't you hate that when you you keep fiddling and fiddling and pretty soon you're ready to throw the whole thing in the trash?! LOL  Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way sometimes....  Anywho, the small triangular piece was created by rolling up a square piece of Penny Black textured paper and taping it along the seem.  The top flips open and it can be filled with small candies or treats as a party favor or small gift.  I hope these directions make sense... feel free to email me if you have any questions. All stamps by Penny Black.

Thanks for visiting!

For fun...

Just popping in to share a card I made several weeks ago just for fun!

The flower (Penny Black Mum's the Word) was colored with Copics and the backgrounds underwent lots of distressing. :)

Thanks for poppin' by!

Hugs!
