Roly Poly Penguins Cards with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a set of three mini cards with the adorable Roly Poly Penguins stamp and die set.

Making these cute sized cards is super easy with the Mini Mat & Tag series (I used Mini Mat & Tag 1, Mini Mat & Tag 2 and Mini Mat & Tag 4). I opted for three festive papers in pink, red and teal from the Joyful Holiday pack.

Instead of using the additional tag dies I created a frame in each paper with one of the Stiched Square dies. Next, I used my paper trimmer to create 3 rectangles from white card stock slightly smaller than my colored papers. The bottom of these pieces where turned into little snowbanks for my penguins to stand on, while the rest was inked in a similar color with Distress oxides (Candied Apple, Kitsch Flamingo, Salty Ocean). I didn’t like the stark white background and these subtle lines bring extra detail to the card design without distracting from the focal point. I colored the cute penguins (Roly Poly Penguins stamp) with my Copics and added white highlights with a paint pen.

After creating little white card bases, I glued all the layers to the base before mounting the penguins with foam tape. I had ample space for a lovely sentiment and that is why I selected three phrases from the versatile Inside Greetings Seasons set. I stamped them on white card stock with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To embellish the mini cards I used my favorite die of the season, the Snowflake Circle Frame! I use this die on so many of my holiday cards, it’s such a staple in your winter cardmaking sessions! After adding three snowflakes to each card, I added some bling using the Jewels Bright mix, the pastel Jewel mix and the Red Zircon Jewels.

I hope you give these mini cards a try, they are really so fun to make! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
