Holiday Express & Penguin Party Card with Amanda

Hey crafty friends! It’s Amanda here with you today on the Sunny Studio blog and I’m sharing a sweet little holiday card!

To create the card base, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 5.5”x8.25” and then scored and folded it in half. On the edges of the card base, I lightly swiped Catherine Pooler Clay Mask ink to create a pretty pink border. Next, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4”x5.25”. I glued this panel to the card base.

To create that gorgeous lacy frame, I used the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies. I ran a white cardstock panel through the die cutting machine with the largest oval. Then, I ran the frame through with the Diagonal Cover Die to create the little criss cross pattern. To add color to the oval, I ink blended Catherine Pooler Clay Mask and Polished inks. Using the Frosty Flurries Stamps and the Polished ink, I added some pink snow in the background. Then, I put 3D foam strips behind the oval and attached it to my card.

My images are from the Holiday Express and Penguin Party stamps. I stamped all the images with black ink and then colored them in with Copic markers. I added some white highlights and dots with a white Gelly Roll pen. I also added gold accents with a gold Gelly Roll pen. I cut each image out using their coordinating dies. I put 3D foam squares behind all of the images and added them to the front of the card.

To create my sentiment, I stamped the 2 separate stamps onto a piece of black cardstock with my WOW! embossing pad. I applied white embossing powder to the glue and then melted the powder using my heat tool. I used scissors to cut out each sentiment. I applied white foam tape behind them and added them to my card front. The final touch was to add 3 Metallic Gold Confetti pieces with liquid glue to add a little more shine to the card!

I hope you enjoyed this post and don’t forget to come back tomorrow for even more inspiration!
