The Penny Black Stamp Squad is celebrating the Fan Favorites event with a blog hop!! Greta, Lin, Penny, Rosemary and I are glad you are hopping with us!
Hope you spy your personal favorites along the way. I am the first stop after the Penny Black blog, so you are in the right place at the right time.
I made my first card using the woodblock stamp Give Us a Kiss. I love all of Penny Black's stamps, but the cute ones are especially fun to work with. I stamped the bear and bird in black and then clear embossed. Colored the image with Copics. I then ran my cardstock through my Big Shot with a mini embossing folder of snowflakes. I couldn't resist adding some sparkle with glitter glue. An added bonus: this is a one-layer card, easy to mail with no extra postage necessary.
I was having so much fun with these fan favorite stamps, I had to make a second card. I used two cling stamps: Harmony for the background and then the Amaryllis image. I stamped the background with VersaMark and then heat embossed with white. I rubbed distress ink over the white embossed image. I colored the flower and pot with Copics, and then fussy cut the image. I created the layers with white and solid colored card stock as well as a piece of the embossed background. I added glossy accents to the pot and a gem to the center of the flower.
My incredibly talented stamp squad sister Greta is your next stop on the hop! You're going to love what you see on her blog GG Creations!

I loved both of these cards, they were so sweet!
both of your cards are simply delightful. I adore the first one... it's so sweet.
I love your bear and bird card.
Two fabulous examples!!
You have created two absolutely wonderful card. To emboss the first card with snowflakes was a great idea.
Super the way you've demonstrated both cute & classy examples. The dimensional appearance of the first is super despite it being a one-layer card.
