I love my Penny Black stamp but always feel that the smaller sized stamps can sometimes look out of place in the middle of a regular sized card blank. This year I decided to ink up the design after cutting it with my favourite stitched edge die and use it on a smaller base, then literally all on the focus is on the design. I think these simpler designs are perfect for cards needed as a quick thank you note or birthday's that you've accidently forgotten!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE_ieJ947agEOGWc9h3B4MQrqlkV2ag8tilryAQ2XEXDVxe0zrT4mm0iKcgGI8L3LoZHUGc6Qxw3eKMoQ8yIJaw7ro08sJ0_TGYf0tQYsZM_C6vkLotQdK2aEQqtdYL_HIy4HXbOtgnqHbktbgbkoXu48SGXLqgLOMWu54re3_diqD388ywroYcixpaC0/s3038/February.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3038" data-original-width="2676" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE_ieJ947agEOGWc9h3B4MQrqlkV2ag8tilryAQ2XEXDVxe0zrT4mm0iKcgGI8L3LoZHUGc6Qxw3eKMoQ8yIJaw7ro08sJ0_TGYf0tQYsZM_C6vkLotQdK2aEQqtdYL_HIy4HXbOtgnqHbktbgbkoXu48SGXLqgLOMWu54re3_diqD388ywroYcixpaC0/w564-h640/February.JPG" width="564" /></a><br />Back to my usual crafting style is a card that speaks for itself as to which occasion it can be used for, I went all pink and lovely-dovey on this design!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji15DNXAjli7ajDOK-ghSGBvtfunJs-foPi2UGsqIu-r5e1q6MalTSFJAh2dt_JmQ6hBCHQFLMA9rhZEKBtVkjcSPl2Aq4g3mxw0NLWRs_gxqOZCa-_lFkeU1JV_N2Q-N6KHGpeiFGU_mLmYYh_Nv18sgJ4oNh9E7UgjcQG2aOX-x3cPrFTs5pZZLG9jg/s3578/February.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3578" data-original-width="3272" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji15DNXAjli7ajDOK-ghSGBvtfunJs-foPi2UGsqIu-r5e1q6MalTSFJAh2dt_JmQ6hBCHQFLMA9rhZEKBtVkjcSPl2Aq4g3mxw0NLWRs_gxqOZCa-_lFkeU1JV_N2Q-N6KHGpeiFGU_mLmYYh_Nv18sgJ4oNh9E7UgjcQG2aOX-x3cPrFTs5pZZLG9jg/w586-h640/February.JPG" width="586" /></a><br />Back to my Penny Black's this larger stamp is one that I've had for years. <br />I love how happy the hedgies look whilst having a calm afternoon fishing!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5jcSoBb3j75rdsdPAPCTdKhZyeCb4oInD-sSwW7SPW3lC9T2Pv66CnaYVy7k8Gm4N-kXskOCz5vHaJqjBsR1Og5E6SvNTScS2U9mttY14IN_vPsOtgkvoIR4OaviKQqK3V4Q20OysFfmt2YKzEBUECey5WhuVTk9OUAH6QmDQOLAYJo8xLRtkjX5LZc/s3349/June.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3349" data-original-width="3133" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5jcSoBb3j75rdsdPAPCTdKhZyeCb4oInD-sSwW7SPW3lC9T2Pv66CnaYVy7k8Gm4N-kXskOCz5vHaJqjBsR1Og5E6SvNTScS2U9mttY14IN_vPsOtgkvoIR4OaviKQqK3V4Q20OysFfmt2YKzEBUECey5WhuVTk9OUAH6QmDQOLAYJo8xLRtkjX5LZc/w598-h640/June.JPG" width="598" /></a><br />Another pink card but this time I've paired it with gold to celebrate a milestone birthday. <br />Stamping Bella are perfect for female birthday cards to give to those that may not necessarily like the cuter designs I tend to use.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF8XWkC7q5KYYykQrOr4Rdaigip4BbhdozjvpzGETBo6BZTEiRTDUY9ztzvfH8pyLPSzDFuUi_iTqYi0OnDXrXRnWsoEiCVgVxHM7VTFVVGpMmB-VLaFDJZOF7VKQ5PcNt9YpxSQ26ndjHblnLfEQqOcxp7QG3cbOGbE6hJOcxbnrdxDF3ntOsBErYKKU/s3596/40th%20Birthday%20-%20January.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3596" data-original-width="3144" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF8XWkC7q5KYYykQrOr4Rdaigip4BbhdozjvpzGETBo6BZTEiRTDUY9ztzvfH8pyLPSzDFuUi_iTqYi0OnDXrXRnWsoEiCVgVxHM7VTFVVGpMmB-VLaFDJZOF7VKQ5PcNt9YpxSQ26ndjHblnLfEQqOcxp7QG3cbOGbE6hJOcxbnrdxDF3ntOsBErYKKU/w560-h640/40th%20Birthday%20-%20January.JPG" width="560" /></a><br />To finish today we're back to a clean and simple card.

Kept on a small scale I made the image the main focus paired with some bright pops of colour.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ8QAsOfEnh79eY1sAUputqqAL6VgoZgy-OkcBqdcHUTF8PZDZx_32SG9IPvGuC1mT6kjPyy0tOqwo_46lFz0caO8nxeqoHYGzX9s1_S0rYcaFgtfoEMXQkWvgD5Mzh_vHkSvy9mAK027wt2YGgqrzcBKMcLyv7uEadMz-gTjPG8IcoATdOLhfIZpA4X8/s3640/January.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3640" data-original-width="2740" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ8QAsOfEnh79eY1sAUputqqAL6VgoZgy-OkcBqdcHUTF8PZDZx_32SG9IPvGuC1mT6kjPyy0tOqwo_46lFz0caO8nxeqoHYGzX9s1_S0rYcaFgtfoEMXQkWvgD5Mzh_vHkSvy9mAK027wt2YGgqrzcBKMcLyv7uEadMz-gTjPG8IcoATdOLhfIZpA4X8/w482-h640/January.JPG" width="482" /></a><br />Everyone should know by now that I love making cards using cute bunny designs by LOTV. This design was released last year and again I kept it rather scaled down, finished with a bright orange trim across the bottom.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB3y5vJw2V2bakNruQEG5WH-k5yIa48LzTeqENwmYNboctoHMwt_ccIDrJnTtXchtqiOKJAM4wQPSysmvCZlcACReviMx0FyCoo0rciA_tuHCxgAM_uprNaVtN8LDAFp4TueK1jAjD_JuaPekNpZrbM8r8hfV-E3pOykS2vXOjmIarPAML-ErmhVOnqPM/s3573/Bunny%20wth%20Carrot%20-%20Feb.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3573" data-original-width="2880" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB3y5vJw2V2bakNruQEG5WH-k5yIa48LzTeqENwmYNboctoHMwt_ccIDrJnTtXchtqiOKJAM4wQPSysmvCZlcACReviMx0FyCoo0rciA_tuHCxgAM_uprNaVtN8LDAFp4TueK1jAjD_JuaPekNpZrbM8r8hfV-E3pOykS2vXOjmIarPAML-ErmhVOnqPM/w516-h640/Bunny%20wth%20Carrot%20-%20Feb.JPG" width="516" /></a><br />Gnomes are certainly more popular these days and this was another design released this year by LOTV.

The last hurrah to this year's Christmas!</p><p style="text-align: center;">First up is this sweet little bear from Polkadoodles. After inking it up I fell in love with the design and paired it with a contemporary colour scheme of dusky pink and dark green with a touch of gold. A colour combination I'l definitely be using again.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhudy3DeTTbTMfqpRy4bWE2umikIybFYBnBoMxEStiF6v_aFudfmE4wgRoyMdyTKWEYHeIlQW1o471nVx7X5jyhm85bAL9xrWiHfs7zfsIuXVN07WewydnD8g5YGXkc0ku5nUK2COCVuuId3t6BKCQQ9I2_Bb27H6aAc-BaGv0qCDud2LxbCY7QTxqQxgY/s3526/November.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3526" data-original-width="3190" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhudy3DeTTbTMfqpRy4bWE2umikIybFYBnBoMxEStiF6v_aFudfmE4wgRoyMdyTKWEYHeIlQW1o471nVx7X5jyhm85bAL9xrWiHfs7zfsIuXVN07WewydnD8g5YGXkc0ku5nUK2COCVuuId3t6BKCQQ9I2_Bb27H6aAc-BaGv0qCDud2LxbCY7QTxqQxgY/w580-h640/November.JPG" width="580" /></a><br />Of course I couldn't leave this little Angel out. I've developed a real fondness for Gold Christmas cards this year and this one paired with Silver and Brown has resulted in a card that I haven't been able to part with this year as I'm just too fond of it! lol<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvQrB37n2WnQR6L5N4yyMm01T_G0md054zkyta-WQwncYfSaKqFPSLLk12kgAiYMOv_o_SWs2HUub9L3mfXAr2vyXCpAS9l7lzRnZ_efWZBoqNUAbuky_YX7pO-1BJnNKkt6ScK6NkfCiFf0dGnvpvdiLAkI3-zJWYn6ACny71dLfviVH8-4iI99h7BE/s3401/Christmas%20Delivery.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3401" data-original-width="3171" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvQrB37n2WnQR6L5N4yyMm01T_G0md054zkyta-WQwncYfSaKqFPSLLk12kgAiYMOv_o_SWs2HUub9L3mfXAr2vyXCpAS9l7lzRnZ_efWZBoqNUAbuky_YX7pO-1BJnNKkt6ScK6NkfCiFf0dGnvpvdiLAkI3-zJWYn6ACny71dLfviVH8-4iI99h7BE/w596-h640/Christmas%20Delivery.JPG" width="596" /></a><br />Clean & Simple cards is another style that I love to craft and this Penny Black card which I made at the end of Summer is one that I'l probably repeat next year. Adding a mix of coloured dew drops to the image to represent baubles and provide a pop of colour I thought was the perfect finishing touch.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyAtI5ouIcAkTCUzZk0OU8XCOLreFiQo0NtydMEhMKH4DSVsDbftwaz-LXmfia2ZinzPpucbjf2IUV1cOZrxhqEcpcHal2JQ-cbiM3dwtifXOGWSdhvIiVfwKU3RoNrQKknt5s6DV2_G6EHzB6edqPflVVHvCA_t2YmkMbzg1qG7iPVl7YExasTODW6v4/s3525/August.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3525" data-original-width="3071" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyAtI5ouIcAkTCUzZk0OU8XCOLreFiQo0NtydMEhMKH4DSVsDbftwaz-LXmfia2ZinzPpucbjf2IUV1cOZrxhqEcpcHal2JQ-cbiM3dwtifXOGWSdhvIiVfwKU3RoNrQKknt5s6DV2_G6EHzB6edqPflVVHvCA_t2YmkMbzg1qG7iPVl7YExasTODW6v4/w558-h640/August.JPG" width="558" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When making Christmas cards you've got to at least make one with some traditional colours and this red and gold card certainly embraced that lol I used another older LOTV stamp and finished it off with a selection of sparkly embellishments.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_l5e8_ONXog5B9wSv3FnGdv3tI5_V0vOq0dWF7eTGJw9J8626SuV0wDougjvsTCly_AC5Cl_WUDQ60k01PkFO85JyM-vF7qEkTniZr6gp2n13VuOw3bXi7ybyph1M2O-egmuS6P7eBIFe8jvNaQbzit7Ga1b2p3Qn5om54VoyyIGKnnq7x1C2dY4hUr8/s3084/Twinkling%20Star.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3084" data-original-width="2974" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_l5e8_ONXog5B9wSv3FnGdv3tI5_V0vOq0dWF7eTGJw9J8626SuV0wDougjvsTCly_AC5Cl_WUDQ60k01PkFO85JyM-vF7qEkTniZr6gp2n13VuOw3bXi7ybyph1M2O-egmuS6P7eBIFe8jvNaQbzit7Ga1b2p3Qn5om54VoyyIGKnnq7x1C2dY4hUr8/w618-h640/Twinkling%20Star.JPG" width="618" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Back to the Clean & Simple style this one has slightly more layers but still kept to a minimum.
