Hello! It’s my turn over on the Penny Black Simplicity at its Best blog today. I had a lot of fun making two cards solely made with dies – both die cutting and embossing with a die. To check out my cards, go here.

Merry Christmas! I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful time of the year celebrating the birth of Jesus. I’m all ready for Christmas and for the first time ever, we will be spending Christmas Day with just the four of us and no extended family (but we will be spending time with friends).
Today I have some Christmas tags to share with you made with Penny Black products. I have gone for a simple black and white theme with a pop of colour!
The first tag uses the Tagged Creative die as well as parts of the Poinsettia Bough Creative die, that I coloured with Copic markers. The sentiment is from the Rejoice with Joy stamp set.
The sentiment on the second tag is from the Festive Cheer stamp set, and the floral elements are from the Layered Scene Creative die. I distressed this one with some white pigment ink and a baby wipe to create a chalkboard effect.

Today I have a birthday card to share with you that I made for my niece’s 17th birthday. I actually made this around the same time as this card that was over on the Penny Black Simplicity At its Best blog. I was having fun playing around with the Penny Black Numbers Creative dies.
This card still uses the inlay die cutting technique for the focal panel with the 17, but for all those blue glittery numbers I made my own stickers using double sided adhesive and some glitter card stock that I had in my stash.
A fun and simple way to make a card, and I didn’t use any inks or stamps!
Penny Black products used:
Penny Black Numbers Creative die 51-239
Stamps: None
Card: X-Press It blending card, Blue glitter cardtsock (brand unknown)
Ink: None
Other Supplies: Cuttlebug, Penny Black Creative set – Numbers, Spellbinders circle die, 3D mounting foam, X-Press It double sided adhesive
