Let's Chill & Penguin Pals Winter Holiday Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some holiday cards featuring our new Let's Chill Stamps and Penguin Pals Stamps.

My first card showcases the adorable seals from the Let's Chill Stamps. This mini set has so many possibilities! I created a winter birthday card here by using the heart balloon, ice block, and punny sentiment from the Penguin Pals Stamps with the tree and igloo from the Winter Scenes Stamps. To frame my little scene, I used the largest die from the Scalloped Square 2 Small Dies set, then masked all four sides to add a light dusting of Salty Ocean Distress ink using the big fluffy blending brushes by PinkFresh Studio. While you can achieve a darker application, these brushes are convenient for achieving a light application of ink to take advantage of the full range of tones each distress ink pad can offer. Lastly, I mounted the scalloped mat onto an aqua polka-dot print from the Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper pack.

For my second card, I focused on the adorable penguins from the Penguin Pals Stamps. I created a scene with them decorating a Christmas Tree taken from the Cozy Christmas Stamps and added the backdrop of mountains and fir trees behind them using the Country Scenes Stamps. This time I used the PinkFresh Studio Blending Brushes to achieve a light application of Seedless Preserves Distress Ink for my sky. I heat-embossed a greeting from the Penguin Pals set onto a Brilliant Banner 2 Die, which has been inked up using a blend of Salvage Patina, Evergreen Bough, and a tiny bit of Peacock Feathers Distress inks.

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. 💛

Penguin Pals & Let's Chill Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, back with this new shaker card featuring the super cute Penguin Pals and adorable seals from Let's Chill. Love how those lovely winter critters match so perfectly.

I started off by creating the shaker panel. I cut the frame out of a blue polka dot paper from the Polka Dot Parade paper pack using the main Comic Strip Everyday die, attached it to an acetate panel using liquid glue, and added foam strips at the back of the frame all along the four edges and behind the middle lines as well. Next I poured White Snowflake confetti and chunky glitter inside each window, splattered white ink on a light blue gingham 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel from the Gingham Pastels paper pack, and once dry, I attached this light blue panel to the foam strips to totally close my shaker panel.

I cut another Comic Strip Everyday panel out of white cardstock, kept the inside pieces and cut slim pieces out of them to make snow borders. I mixed a bit of liquid stardust with water, added sparkling splatters to each snow border and then attached them all to my shaker panel using liquid glue. And finally I stuck my panel to a white card base using liquid glue as well.

Next I stamped the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, cut them all using the matching dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Let's Chill - seals • Penguin Pals - penguins • Snowmen In Sweaters - trees, snowflakes.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, white blizzard nuvo drops to the snow on the trees, I stamped "Sending you winter hugs" from Bear Hugs directly on the acetate using black stazon ink, which is an ink that doesn't smear on acetate or vellum, and finally attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

And that's it! Once again, I hope that this card has inspired you to mix and match your stamp sets to create super cute scenes. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Designer's Choice: Penguin Pals Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this slimline card featuring the cutest penguin family celebrating the new year. It was super fun to create this lovely North Pole habitat for these guys, and as always I mixed and matched a bunch of images from different sets to achieve this super adorable scene.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and used my alcohol markers to color everything. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Penguin Pals - penguins, fish • Kiddie Pool - splatters • Bear Hugs - snow floe • Winter Scenes - igloos • Country Scenes - mountains • Snowmen In Sweaters - trees, snowflakes.

I cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, divided it in five sections, and used stencils along with oxide inks to create a lovely winter landscape. At the very bottom of the panel, I made the sea using a hill stencil along with uncharted mariner and chipped sapphire oxide inks. I splattered water on the ink and dried the panel using a paper towel. I also mixed some chipped sapphire oxide ink with water, and used a slim brush to add more splatters to my sea section.

Right above that sea section, I created three snowy hills using another hill stencil along with tumbled glass and broken china oxide inks. I mixed some broken china oxide ink with water, and used my slim brush to add splatters on those snowy hills.

At the very top of my panel, I created a night sky using uncharted mariner, chipped sapphire and black soot oxide inks. I splattered water on the sky and dried the panel using a paper towel. I also mixed some chipped sapphire oxide ink with water, and added more splatters to the sky.

To achieve my winter landscape, I added falling snow and sparkling details. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, used my slim brush to add splatters all over my panel, and then I did the same with liquid stardust.

Once my panel was dry, I attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and added highlights and details using a white gelly roll pen. I white heat embossed "Happy New Year" from Holiday Greetings on black cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and attached it on the sky section using 1mm foam squares. For the final details, I added a frosty effect to the snow on the trees and snow caps on the mountains: I first added liquid glue on those spots, sprinkled fine glitter on the glue, let the glue dry, and finally used a fluffy brush to get rid of any excess glitter.

And that's it! Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
