Penguin Party Card Class

Today's video is a Card Class style video. I am taking one stamp set and share three easy to replicate cards and how to make them.  

Here on the blog I am also sharing pics of each of the cards for you to check out and use as you make your cards. 

First let's watch the video on these adorable cards come together. 

If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can watch it over on my YouTube channel. 

 

Now let's take a close up look at each of the cards. 

NOTE: Before creating my cards I stamped out all the image in the Penguin Party stamp set, colored them and die cut them out to be ready for card making. And while I had the stamps on my MISTI, I stamped them out several times so I could add as many images as I wanted and I would have some ready to go for future use if I had left overs. 

Here are all the Copic Markers I used to color my images: 

Penguins: N8, N6, N4

Beak and Flippers: Y15, Y17

Red Things: R46, R29, R17

Teal: BG32, BG11

Shading for White areas: N2, N0

White Gelly Roll Pen size 08 for accents

 

CARD ONE

Card Base: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"

Card Front: 5-1/4" x 4"

For Snowflake: 4" x 4"

Window Sheet (2): 3" x 3"

1. Stencil  the Snowflake background stencils and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink. 

2. Trace the opening of the die cut Magic Iris Snowflake onto the card front where you want the shaker panel to be. 

3. Die cut around this traced circle with a circle die about the same size or slightly bigger. Approximate size of the circle is 1-3/4". 

4. Adhere one of the window sheets to the back of the opening. 

5. Adhere the snowflake to the front of the card, right around the circle. 

6. Stamp your sentiment before assembling your shaker. 

7. Add foam tape to the back of the card front all around your window, making sure the ends of the foam tape touch so that none of your shaker elements can escape.  Add some extra foam tape to the top and bottom of this panel as well so the card front will be sturdy on the card base. 

8. Add in your shaker elements, I used micro beads and seed beads. Remove the backing off the foam tape that is around the window. Adhere your second window sheet here. 

9. Remove the rest of the backing from the foam tape and add glue to the foam tape that is covered by the window sheet, assuring a good hold when you now add this panel to the card base. 

10. Add your stamped images to the center of the shaker. 

11. Embellish with some rhinestones or bling of your choice. 

 

CARD TWO

 

Card Base: 8-3/4" x 7-1/2", scored at 3-3/4"

 

Card Front: 8-1/2" x 3-1/2", die cut using the Large Slimline Die set from Lawn Fawn

 

Let it Snow Sentiment: 4" x 4" of glitter paper

 

Hill: 4" x 1-1/2" of glitter paper

 

Scrap of white card stock to stamp talk bubble

 

1. Die cut the Card Front panel from white card stock using the Large Slimline Die form the Large Slimline with Sliders die set from Lawn Fawn. This gives the paper a stitched edge. Or you can just cut a piece of white card stock to 8-1/2" x 3-1/2". 

2. While this die is out die cut a pice of glitter card stock to create a hill, I used a scrap that was about 4" x 1-1/2", only cutting the bottom and sides. I the die cut the top with one of the Simple Stitched Borders, to create the hill to build my scene on. Set this aside. 

3. Back to the card front panel, ink the the bottom 1/4 of the panel withe Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink. 

4. Ink the top 3/4 of the panel with Black Soot Distess Oxide ink, blending it lightly with the Salvaged Patina. 

5. Spritz the panel with water from a spray bottle. Blot up the excess water after a minute with paper towel or cloth. Next splatter on some Liquid Stardust using a paint brush. Lastly, splatter on some white acrylic paint that has been thinned out with a bit of water. Set this aside to dry. 

6. If you want your die cut "Let it Snow" to be more sturdy and stand out off the card a bit back it with one or two additional die cuts of this image from white card stock. 

7. Stamp the talk bubble in black in on white card stock and the "warm wishes" in Lobster ink in the center and cut this out. Both images are from a free with purchase set from Lawn Fawn called "Say What? Holiday Critters". If you do not have this shop your stash and find something that will work for you.

8. When the background panel is dry adhere the sentiment, hill and images. I popped up my igloo, penguin and talk bubble with foam squares and glued the other pieces. 

9. Adhere the card front to the card base. 

10. Add some Winter White gems in and around the scene for accent to finish off this card. 

 

CARD THREE

 

Card Base: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 3-3/4"

 

Card Front: 5-1/2" x 4-1/4"

 

Hills: 5-1/2" x 3-1/2"

 

Sentiment Circle: 1-3/4" (or center from circle die left over from die cutting the snowflake for Card One

 

1. Die cut card front from white card stock using the Stitched Snowflake backdrop. 

2. Die cut two hills using a scrap of white paper and the Simple Stitched Border die set. If you do not own this die set, hand cutting some hills is really easy to do. 

3. Add some Salvaged Patina ink the the center of the card for a highlight. And add a bit of this ink to the tops of the hills. 

4. Splatter the background and hills with Liquid Stardust. 

5. Stamp the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Magic Holiday Message stamp set on a circle that is about 1-3/4" with VersaFine Onyx Black or VersaMark ink and emboss with black embossing powder. 

6. Also from the Merry Holiday Message set, stamp the holly image twice, color and die cut. 

7. Adhere the hills to the bottom of the card front, layering one behind the other.

8. Stamp "North Pole" from the Penguin Party stamp set on the sign with the stripes in black ink. Glue this to the back or top hill on the card. 

9. Glue the string of lights to the igloo and glue this to the card, as well as the puff of smoke so it looks like it came out of the chimney. 

10. Pop up the Penguins on the front hill. The penguin on the left is holding a present and the baby penguin on the right is holding a fish for a gift exchange. 

11. Pop up the sentiment on the top of the card, in the center.  Glue a holly image to each corner on the top  of the card. 

12. Adhere the card front to the card base. 

13. Adhere some Winter White rhinestones to finish off the scene.
