Hello my dears. It's Alma here and today I want to show you a card with the super sweet Penguin Party Stamps. I chose a rectangle format for the card and I die-cut three windows with the Wonky Windows Dies.
Then I stamped the three penguins with the gifts from the Penguin Party Stamps and die-cut them with the Penguin Party Dies. After that I coloured them with Copics. Then I glued the cardstock with the windows on the red striped paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper . Then I added snowflakes with the white gel pen. Then I die-cutted green leaves with the Winter Greenery Dies and glued them together with the penguins on the cardstock.

Hi Crafty Friends! Marie here. Happy December! Christmas is finally
in the air! I'm sure we are all busier now more than ever trying to create as
many cards as possible before the Holiday deadline. I know I am! So for
this week's card inspiration, I am sharing a super simple and
festive box card featuring Sunny Studio's Penguin Party Stamps and the Holiday Greetings Stamps.
This happy little box card is sure to bring smiles to your friends and loved
ones and will make such a cute display piece this Christmas!
To start off, I die cut all the elements of my
interactive box card using the Lawn Fawn scalloped box card- pop up die. For
this, I used Bristol smooth cardstock paper for easy ink blending. Once I had
all my box card panels, I cut off all the box flaps so that the only thing left
is a box. I then took an arched dome shaped nesting die to create my background
panel. I used bristol smooth cardstock for this also. I then ink blended the
outside of my box, and all four snow drift panels using Speckled Egg Distress
Oxide ink followed by Uncharted Mariner Distress Ink. For the Domed Background
panel, I used a cloud stencil to create some soft clouds using Speckled Egg
Distress oxide Ink and Uncharted Mariner Distress ink for all the edges.
Before putting together the box, I used a watered down acrylic paint to
splatter on some snow texture to the outside of the box, the snowdrift panels,
and the background panel.
I stamped out the
beautiful "Merry Christmas" sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Stamps using Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink. I cut out the sentiment using the
corresponding Holiday Greetings Dies.
To add a little bit of dimension to the Merry Christmas greeting, I die cut the
greeting 2 more times and layered the pieces together so I could create height
without using foam tape. I played around with my image placement
but before adhering my images I reinforced all of them using a thin strip
of 110 lb cardstock which I glued to the back of each image and then adhered
them to the snow drifts. Doing this ensures that they will be strong enough to
stand on their own. For my finishing touch, I added a few die cut stars
to the background and made them sparkle with Ranger Stickles Glitter
Glue.
And that does it
for this week's Holiday Card Inspiration! Thank you so much for joining me
today!! I wish you all a very Happy Card-crafting Week!!!
