Passionate Penguins Spring Cards with Mendi

Hello there! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. This is Mendi popping in to share some spring-themed cards featuring our beloved Passionate Penguins Stamps.

My first card showcasing the Passionate Penguins Stamps uses the cute image of the penguins in the car, which I paired with the mountains, trees, and flowers from the Spring Scenes Stamps for their scenic drive. I cut three hills for them using the Slimline Nature Border Dies and then fussy cut the street using just black cardstock with my scissors. I had planned to add the white dotted line; however, when I realized my car would be taking over the entire road, I decided to make it a one-lane street. I borrowed the sentiment from the Cruising Critters Stamps, which I heat-embossed in white to pop against the black pavement. Lastly, I added three small die-cut clouds from the Comic Strip Everyday Dies to the sky.

For my second card using the Passionate Penguins Stamps, I colored the three sets of penguin couples in monochromatic pinks. I mounted them onto three overlapping Stitched Heart 2 Dies inked with Salvaged Patina Distress ink. For my background, I blended Picked Raspberry and a hint of Seedless Preserves Distress inks (to more closely match my copic coloring using RV55, RV63, and RV52). I then die-cut the background using a shortened version of the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies and stamped it with a heart print using stamps from the Passionate Penguins set. For my greeting, I combined words from the Passionate Penguins Stamps and the Savanna Safari Stamps, which I heat-embossed onto a Brilliant Banner 3 Die inked with Salvaged Patina ink. As a finishing touch, I added polka dots to the umbrella using a white gel pen. My finished card measures 7-1/2" wide x 3-3/4" high.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛
