Penguin Place - Poinsettia Petals - Heartwarming Hugs Christmas Card

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm making Christmas cards with the very cute Penguin Place bundle and using up the last bits of my designer series papers. Let me show you how I made this card.

Materials

1 piece of thick basic white card 5 7/8" x 11 3/4"

1 piece of Heartwarming Hugs dsp 5 5/8" square

1 piece of basic white 3 1/2" square

Scraps of green foil, black and basic white card stock

Poinsettia Petals stamp set

Plaid Tidings stamp set

Penguin Place stamp set

Penguin Builder Punch

Stitched Square dies

Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine

Pine Tree Punch

Real red ink

Pumpkin pie ink

Old olive ink

Memento black ink

Paper snips

Trimmer

Simply scored

Bone folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side score the thick white card at 5 7/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card and add some trees (see picture).

Adhere the dsp layer to the card front.

Die cut a 3 1/2" square (or cut one out with trimmer). Stamp the sentiment across the top section in real red ink. Punch out two trees from the green foil and add to the square mat as shown in the picture, I have added the front one on dimensionals.

Punch out the body of the penguin from the scraps of black and white card and layer them up together. Stamp the eyes, beak and feet and then add a scarf. Stamp the hat on a scrap of card and fussy cut and then add to the top of the penguins head (I left a small piece of white card under the brim of the hat and used that to glue the hat on the back so it looks like its sitting on his head).

Add dimensionals to the back of the square and adhere to the centre of the card front.

I hope that you like my card, I think it's really cute.
