Hello! I used another image from Penny Black’s new Joyful Fall stamp set, released in September, for this fall card. The girl jumping into a pile of leaves captures a simple autumn pleasure. I watercolored the image, then paired it with a Penny Black frame die (51-815 All-in-One Oval) and a dry-embossed background (Taylored Expressions … Continue reading "Penny Black | Jumping into Fall"

Halloween Cardmaking with Dies I Already Own

Jean Manis — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 12:00:33 +0000

Hello! This Halloween card combines Taylored Expressions dies and a spooky tree background stamp. For the buildings, I used Halloween-themed dies, the Ghost Town Border and the Haunted Cutting Plate, creatively cutting them apart rather than using them as intended. The exercise stretched my design skills and encouraged me to revisit supplies in my collection. … Continue reading "Halloween Cardmaking with Dies I Already Own"
