It's Your Day with Penguin Palace Stamps

- Werbung - 

Hi, everyone!

Today I'm back with a new card I made using lots of products from Penguin Palace.

Here is an overview of the used products:

Happy Track & Field (Chapter 2) stamps and Penguin Perfect Cuts
Congratulations
Cross Stitched and Dots Large Rectangle Overlays stand-alone-dies
Let's Celebrate stand-alone die
It's Your Day Bubble Call-Out stand-alone die

I started by stamping out the cute images and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator. I die cut them out with the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

Next, I cut white cardstock to size for my card base and die cut my layers: 3x die cutting with the largest of the Cross Stitched and Dots Large Rectangle Overlays dies (2x white cardstock and 1x pattern paper). The layer with the pattern paper ran through my Big Shot again with the Let's Celebrate stand-alone die. For one of the die cut white cardstocks I took a grassy boarder die and ran it also through my Big Shot. Now all the layers were die cut and prepared for ink blending.

After coloring out the stamped images, ink blending is my favorite part of card making! I ink blended the grass with worn lipstick Distress Oxide ink. Next, I ink blended the layer that comes behind the die cut Let's Celebrate layer. For this layer I used mowed lawn, twisted citron, picked raspberry and worn lipstick Distress Oxide Inks.

Then I made my sentiments. I wanted to use the "It's Your Day" leftovers from my last Penguin Palace card. Because the "It's Your Day" letters did not stand out strongly enough from the background, I die cut them out of black cardstock again and glued them as shadows behind the letters. Then I cut a little banner, ink blended it with mowed lawn Distress Oxide Ink and stamped "Hooray!" from the Congratulations stamp set onto this banner.

Now it was time to put my card together!I used liquid glue for the 2 layers and the sentiments and adhered the grass and the characters with foam tape to add dimension on my card.

I'm happy with the result and I hope you like my card too!

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Sweet Shaker Card with Penguin Palace Stamps

- Werbung - 

Hi, everyone!

Today I'm sharing a sweet shaker card I made using the Penguin Agenda stamps, coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts, Cross Stitched and Dots Large Rectangle Overlays, It's Your Day Bubble Call-Out Die and Vintage Basket Stencil from Penguin Palace.

I started by stamping out the cute images and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator. I die cut them with the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts and added white highlights.


Next, I cut white cardstock to size for my card base. I decided to make a shaker with the It's Your Day Bubble Call-Out die. I chose pattern paper and die cut the bubble. Then I cut a piece of acetate and adhered it to the back of the bubble and cut a piece of cardstock for the background portion of this shaker.

I did some ink blending with worn lipstick and spun sugar for the background.

 Next I made a frame for the shaker with foam tape.

I filled my shaker with little white flowers and cute hearts.

Then I put my shaker element together and went on with the rest of my card. I used the largest die from Cross Stitched and Dots Large Rectangle Overlays and cut white cardstock for the panel. I took the Vintage Basket stencil to create the card panel and ink blended worn lipstick Distress Oxide Ink over it. Then I smooshed the color on my glass mat, watered it down and splattered it over the ink blended portion.

Now I finished my card by putting all pieces together. For the stamped and colored images I used foam tape to create more dimension.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Sweet scene card with Penguin Palace Stamps

- Werbung - 

Hi, everyone!

Today I'm sharing this new slimline card I made using the Rabbit Cafe stamps and Penguin Perfect Cuts from Penguin Palace. It took me hours, but I'm happy with the result!

I started by stamping out the all cute images and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator. I die cut them with the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts and added highlights with a white gel pen.

Next, I die cut my layers and cut white cardstock to size for my card base. Then I used a stencil and Distress Oxide Inks to create the background. I masked the top of the layer and ink blended over my stencil using pumice stone Distress Oxide Ink. Next I removed my masking tape from the top of this layer and ink blended this portion with dried marigold Distress Oxide Ink. Then I watered down two different golden colors from the Gansai Tambio Starry Colors on my glass mat and splattered them over the entire ink blended portion.

I glued the two layers to my card base and designed my scene. It was a longer process to find the right position of my stamped images!
After I was satisfied with the final version, I glued the images on my card. The images in the foreground were adhered with foam tape to create dimension.

To finish off, I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark and embossed it with gold embossing powder on a strip of cardstock and glued it to my card.

I just love the cute characters from Rabbit Cafe and I hope you too!

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Jackpot with Penguin Palace Stamps

- Werbung - 

Hi, everyone!

Today I'm sharing this new card I made using the Lucky Break stamps and Penguin Perfect Cuts and Cyber Wallpaper - Penguin Perfect Patterns designer stencil from Penguin Palace.

I started by stamping out the cute images and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator. I stamped "Jackpot!" with VersaMark and embossed it with gold embossing powder. I colored the coins in with a clear embossing pen and embossed them also with gold embossing powder for a realistic look! I die cut all the images with the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts and added highlights with a white gel pen.

Next, I cut white cardstock to size for my card base and the card panel. I did ink blending over the card panel using Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean. Next I took the Cyber Wallpaper stencil, put it onto my ink blended card panel and ink blended Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean over the top. Then I smooshed the color on my glass mat, watered it down and splattered it over the ink blended portion.

I glued my card panel to my card base and stamped the sentiment with black ink.

To finish off, I adhered all of my images with foam tape, added Glossy Accents and added some little blue stars.

I hope you like my card!

Foiling with Penguin Palace Stamps

- Werbung - 

Hi, everyone!

Today I'm sharing this new card I made using the Rabbit Cafe and Penguin Perfect Cuts from Penguin Palace. I also used the pretty Rain of Hearts stencil and Cross Stitched and Dots Large Rectangle Overlays and the Small Rectangle Overlays stand-alone dies.

I started by stamping out the images and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator. I die cut them with the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts and added highlights with a white gel pen.

Next, I cut white cardstock to size for my card base. Then I used 3 different dies from the stand-alone dies and pattern paper for 2 layers and white cardstock for the third layer. I took the third white layer and the stencil and blend VersaMark over it. Next I embossed this with Bonding Powder and foiled it with WOW Fab Foil. I love the effect!

I glued the 3 layers to my card base and stamped the sentiment on a piece of the pattern paper.

To finish off, I adhered all the sweet girl, the clouds and the sentiment with foam tape. I just love my card and I hope you too!

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
