Penguin Party

Today’s card uses the really fun Penguin Place stamp set from the latest Mini Catalogue. I love this set, because it can be used for birthdays or Christmas which makes it very versatile. It also co-ordinates with the Penguin Playmates 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper which you can earn for free during Sale-a-bration – Yay! For my card today, I die cut a piece of Misty Moonlight card using the Basic Border Dies and attached it behind one long edge of a piece of the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper. The panel is attached to the left hand side of Basic White card before stamping the greeting from the Penguin Place stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I also stamped the balloon string from the Penguin Place stamp set using the same ink. The balloon from the Penguin Place stamp set is stamped onto the balloon string using Misty Moonlight ink. I stamped the penguin image from the Penguin Place stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added the feet and the nose/mouth using Bumblebee ink. I cut out the penguin image using the Layering Circle Dies and attached it to a Misty Moonlight scalloped circle cut using the same dies.

The image panel is attached to the card front using dimensionals. I stamped the present image from the Penguin Place stamp set onto scrap Basic White card three times, once using Misty Moonlight ink, once using Fresh Freesia ink and once using Just Jade ink. I cut out the images and attached them in front of the penguin image. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the balloon string image from the Penguin Place stamp set three times onto the lower left hand corner of Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped a balloon image from the Penguin Place stamp set onto each balloon string using Misty Moonlight, Fresh Freesia and Just Jade ink.

This is such a bright, happy birthday card, don’t you think? If you haven’t received a copy of these catalogues, you live in Australia and don’t have a demonstrator, then please contact me so that I can get them to you.

Bye for now,

Kris
