Have finally got around to using this lovely penny black stamp I brought last year and never used. Enjoyed making a different style of card to what I usually do. Front Panel is embossed with cuttlebug folder, greeting is by Amuse and inside greeting by Hero arts. Hope you like it...sorry its a bit blurry, used new phone to take photo and not used to using it yet!!

Reason: change photos to correct way
Yesterday I had the day off and very naughtily sent my daughter off to nursery so that I could spend the whole day on crafting with all my stash spread out over the lounge!!!
This is the first card - I used a Penny Black stamp cut out and put onto some pearlised card. I coloured in the image using some Sakura Glaze pens to give the post box some gloss and water coloured the rest of the image. I then used Cuttlebug Snow embossing folder to emboss the bottom circle and used a gold peel off greeting and a bit of ribbon.

Here is another one - same stamp as before but coloured all in water colours. I thought the postage stamp paper went well with the post box - it is from the Papermania Christmas stack.

Then I made another one using a swing card template - not overly sure about this one - I cut it by hand but it would be very easy to make using the Craft Robo.
I thought my last card using this stamp looked like it was missing something, so I took the peel off greeting off and stamp a greeting in red tinsel embossing powder instead.

I don't like these ones at all and they will probably never be sent out.
I used a precut aperture card which I put laminating sticky on the back of the windows and then stuck peel off bauble designs on the front. I then smothered the sticky with micro beads. Unfortunately then I ruined them by putting on more peel off baubles at the bottom and coloured them in using Sakura Glaze pens. I may cut these up and use them for something else - like a door wedge or something to stop a table leg wobbling
Here are 2 cards I made the other day, Father Xmas image is from PCCrafter. I went over the patterned paper with a clear sakura pen to give it a bit of glitz.
The blue DL I embossed with the snowflake Cuttlebug folder, the word Snow was cut on my robo I then added flowersoft and glitter.
