Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Penguin Wonderland Card using the Penguin Place Bundle which includes the Penguin Place Stamp Set and the Penguin Builder Punch by Stampin’ Up! Isn’t this penguin just the cutest!
For my card, I decided that I wanted to use the punch to create my penguin rather than stamp and punch him out. This allowed me to use Basic Black to make him pop off the card. However, I did stamp his eyes and beak from the stamp set. I also knew that I wanted to use the Giving Gifts Dies in relation to the snowflakes on the Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper. This paper is gorgeous with its specialty silver foil!
Since the Giving Gifts Dies create a fun peek-through effect only and are to be use in correlation to other dies, I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies with them to create my winter wonderland. I used the Snowy White Velvet Sheets to add a soft wintery texture to my card. Here is a tip if you need to make the same card multiple times such as for Christmas cards. Position the dies how you want them to cut and then use washi tape to keep them that position.
To continue my wintery wonderland, I stamped snowflakes in Balmy Blue on opposite corners of the Balmy Blue mat. The DSP was cut using the Stitched Rectangles Dies as well. To tie in the silvery accents on the DSP, I die cut a single snowflake from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack using the snowflake in the Giving Gifts Dies. The finishing touch was three Subtle Shimmer Sequins placed on the snowflakes from the Giving Gifts Dies.
