Penguin Place Case the Catty Card

 Not sure how many cards I have already made using the cute Penguin bundle, or even just the matching dsp but when I saw  the  project on the back of the sale a bration catalogue I knew I had to do it.  I love how easy it was to put this card together.  It took some time to cut out all the little pieces.  We completed it during card club and while the gals might have shown some resistance at first, they went to work and chatted while putting it all in place.  

I didn't have the beautiful white felt that the penguin is sitting on but I think it still turned out pretty good.



Supply List:

Cardstock: Soft Sea Foam-cut at 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 5 1/2”

Basic White-cut at 4”x5 ¼”

Playful Penguins DSP- 1 @ 5"x2"; 1 @ 3 1/2"x 3"

Snow Velvet Felt-3 1/2"x1" (I omitted this as I didn't have this product)

Ink: Memento; Rich Razzleberry, Just Jade; Daffodil Delight

Stamp Sets: Penguin Place Bundle

Adhesive

Embellishments: Matte Black Dots

Paper Trimmer

Step by Step Instructions

Stamp your balloon and string in Rich Razzleberry but stamp off twice before to remove some ink. Then stamp the Happy Birthday using Memento.  Fussy cut these two pieces out.

Stamp penguin using Memento onto white cardstock scrap and punch out.  Then add Just Jade bow tie and Daffodil Delight nose.  Using scraps, stamp toque in Just Jade and fussy cut out.  Next, stamp 2 feet in Daffodil Delight and use punch to cut out.

Using the long piece of dsp, flag the bottom using scissors.

Now let’s put the card together:

Adhere your two pieces of dsp onto your cardfront using adhesive of your choice.  Place feet and hat onto your penguin and then pop up with dimensionals onto the front of your card.  Add dimensionals to the balloon and place near the top of the dsp.  I used tombow mono on the string, you could also use glue dots-then place under the balloon and as close to or under the penguins hand.  (guess I should google what a penguin hand is called).  I also used the strip of dsp on the Basic White layer and placed inside.  Top it off with some Matte Black Dots.

Isn’t he adorable????

Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Sympathy Card

Image
Today's card was inspired by a sketch seen on facebook from an American Demonstrator.  I was intrigued by the cool way to use some of our beautiful designer series paper and the best part is, you don't need a huge piece! I am attending a Stampin' Up! event this weekend and we were asked to bring a few projects to share and this is one of my projects. Fall isn't officially here yet, but once school starts up and the leaves start to fall off the trees, it's pretty close.  The Splendid Autumn designer series paper is gorgeous, the beautiful rich colours are simply stunning.   The cardbase and matte layer are Wild Wheat and the cardstock that the dsp is mounted on is Crushed Curry.  Simply cut the pieces and adhere together and then adhere to the card front.  I stamped using Memento onto a strip of Basic White cardstock which was then mounted on to another piece of Crushed Curry.  This was then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals after the length of 2023...

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Christmas Card

Image
Good day folks!  I am here with another card created for my recent Stampin' Up! gathering this past weekend.  We had a day long activity where we focused on building up our Stampin' Up! business, watched several Atlantic Demos create some beautiful projects and then participated in a show box swap.  This was my shoe box swap offering. I have used this fancy fold layout several times and thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the beautiful Nests of Winter dsp in the latest mini catalogue! My cardbase is Grey Granite which was cut and scored, the die cut square behind the image and the strip to hold the card together are all Gray Granite too.  The dsp is from Nests of Winter and they are adhered to the front and the inside of the cardbase.  There is a small piece of Basic White for the insert and fits beside the piece of dsp.  The strip of Gray Granite,  is scored is secured next.  Starting at the far left edge of the card front,...
