Penny Black Saturday - February Challenge!

  Good Morning!

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Hearts'.
I have used an older stamp design that I had tucked away in a box of stamped images received from fellow crafters so unfortunately I don't know the name of this particular design. I've also kept the card sentiment free so that it's versatile enough to use for more than occasion when needed.

INGREDIENTS -
Penny Black Stamp
Maja Design Papers
Paper Doily, Ribbons, Button & Flowers
Doodlebug Sprinkles, Dovecraft 'Winter Sparkle' Enamel Dots & Doodlebug Sprinkles

Penny Black Saturday - January Challenge

 Good Morning!

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Something New'.

I haven't played along with the theme as the only new thing I've purchased recently are Christmas design papers and today's card certainly isn't Christmassy lol I've coloured this PB stamp in fresh spring yellows & greens and layered it onto a white on white background. The papers I've used are actually embossed with different designs but unfortunately this is really hard to tell in the photograph :(INGREDIENTS -
Penny Black Stamp
LOTV Sentiment Stamp
DCWV White Embossed Papers
Paper Doily, Ribbon, Flowers & Clear Dew Drops

My Favourite 5 Christmas Cards from 2024

 Good Morning!
I have a yearly tradition where I share my favourite 5 Christmas cards that I've made that year on Christmas Eve however I'm a little late sharing them due to catching another bug over the last couple of days ... safe to say Christmas Day didn't exactly go as planned due to to spending the morning in bed. However I'm feeling up to sitting at my laptop briefly this morning so that I'd share them with you today, better late than never ...

The first two are using LOTV Digi Stamps, one from the latest release and the second is an older design in both traditional and non-traditional colour schemes.

My third card is a clean & simple card with a hint of colour provided from some Distress Ink. I always enjoy making C&S cards with the floral / foliage stamps by Penny Black.
This card is using my favourite colour scheme this year, brown and green. I was really happy with how the colours and papers matched the digi from The Paper Shelter that I'd coloured with a hint of gold for sparkle.
Last up is also the most recent card that I'd shared on my blog, using a pink colour scheme this gingerbread digi from Polkadoodles is a cutie and perfect for those girly Christmas cards.
I hope you've enjoyed looking at my favourite festive selection and I hope you all had a lovely Christmas!
