Glitzy Wreath

Hello and happy Friday my friends....

Still making Christmas cards...will I ever finish?

For today's card I embossed the background with a Wire Fence folder by Darice.

Wreath from the Christmas Harmony set by Penny Black was stamped with Memento Love Letter. I then coated the ribbon with Glossy Accents and sprinkled on Fine Glitter.

Fussy cut and adhere to card front with foam adhesive.

Sentiment is from the Yuletide Greetings set by Penny Black.

Super Duper, Easy Peasy!

Season's Greetings

Hello my friends...

Want a super simple way to make your Christmas cards?  Try using the beautiful stickers from Penny Black. 

Adhere sticker to a piece of card stock or straight to your card front, add a sentiment and you are done.

I used the white poinsettia from the Starry Night sticker sheet, cut into squares and matted with a dark teal card stock.

Greeting is from the Oh What Fun cling set stamped with Versafine Deep Lagoon.

A little ribbon and a few drops of Liquid Pearls .... you are done!

Easy Peasy!!!

Blue Christmas and a Welcome

Hi friends....

I'll have a blue Christmas without you....(let's all sing).

This poinsettia stamp (Warm Wishes by Penny Black) was so fun to color. I have used it several times, and I don't think I have colored it in red......yet.

 (stay tuned, pretty sure that red poinsettia is coming up next week).

Used a Spellbinders Curved Borders One, and Yuletide Greetings (Penny Black) for the sentiment.

Rock Candy Stickles, Royal Blue Liquid Pearls (LOVE) & a white gel pen for the stitching.

Buckets of Love

Hello peeps....

Playing along today at Operation Write Home for their Sketch Challenge:

 and their November Challenge...a LOVE card.

I have been up to my ears in Christmas cards, so this was really fun to change it up a bit.

Washi in the background, then die cut the "Love" from WPlus9 Seasonal Sentiments.

The stamped sentiment is from the Love This stamp set by Simon Says Stamp.

A little Maraschino twine from The Twinery finished this card.

Dangling Christmas

Hello my friends...

Playing along today at Case Study using this picture as inspiration:

I spy ....a large bow and a dangling sentiment

I pretty much Scraplifted the design of the card. I mean why not...it's beautiful as is.

As you can see, I adapted it for a Christmas card using red and white.

 Bow was cut with Silhouette, then stamped, heat embossed, then inked. Die cut Bottom Line Alpha (My Favorite Things) in white then swiped Brilliance Rocket Red ink down each letter. Stamped sentiment at the bottom is from Yuletide Greetings, small banners are from Christmas Banners, Bow was stamped with Decadence (all by Penny Black). Die cut Small Madison Window (Memory Box). Pattern paper is Santa's List (Teresa Collins)

Penny Black Stamp Squad Blog Hop

Hello my friends and happy Friday...

As a celebration of this weeks Fan Favorites event, the Penny Black Stamp Squad has teamed up for a blog hop. Maybe you have found some of your personal favorites along the way. 

These little nose kissers are my favorite!!!

You should have arrived here from Rosemary's blog. But you can always go to the beginning of the hop here.

I don't think there is a cuter image than Penny Black Mice...each and every one of them are adorable. I just love coloring the Penny Black critters. 

The two babies from The Wonder transparent stamp set in their Christmas stockings touching noses wanted to make their inky debut here today.

Colored the little cuties with Copic markers, die cut a round opening from the main card front and slid them behind using foam adhesive to give the card front dimension. Added Polar White Flowersoft to the stocking.

Sentiment is from the same stamp set....isn't that handy?!?

Fishtails at the bottom are from the 6 x 6  Penny Black Madison patterned paper pad.

Dies are by Lil Inkers, ink is Memento Olive Grove Luxe by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko.

The Penny Black Stamp Squad sisters hope you enjoyed today's hop. 

For the Club Members of Penny Black (you know who you are...you received a special email today)...happy SALE shopping.

Christmas Fashion

Hello my peeps....

How about a fun Christmas card today?

I recently purchased several rolls of washi tape and now I have to justify that purchase by using them...a lot!

There were just so many to choose from, I got carried away. :)

So how about a little Christmas Fashion? Isn't it convenient, that is the name of the stamp also? Isn't she adorbs?

Of course I had to color her to match the washi, so she is a little out there with her pink hair.

Sentiment is from the same set by Penny Black.

Sequins are Lawn Fawn, Dots are by My Mind's Eye and I flicked Memento Lilac Posies and Rose Bud Luxe inks onto the card base.

This stamp set is one of many that are going to be part of the Fan Club Sale starting on November 8th (but only if you are a member). You must be a member of the Penny Black Fan Club to receive a special email invitation. Click on the banner below to sign up...it's FREE!

On the base card I scored diagonal lines with my Scor-Buddy.

I stamped Antique Noel with Memento Lilac Posies Luxe ink on a large scrap of white card stock. Added two thin strips of card stock inked with Delicata Golden Glitz to the top and bottom of the Noel panel, then popped the whole thing up with foam adhesive.
