Sneak Peek: Penguin Pals

Hello Pretty Pink Posh fans, Alix here sharing a sneak peak of this wonderful stamp set in our coming November release called Penguin Pals. I am so so in love with it as you could tell I made total of 3 cards to introduce it to you along with other new goodies!

I stamped all images from the Penguin Pals onto Copic friendly cardstock paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and die cut them with the Penguin Pals coordinating dies. Then I cut my background panel from a piece of watercolor paper and colored with watercolor paints in Indigo and Quinacridone Pink blended together. Once the top surface was dried, I flicked white paint over it to create starry night effect. I manually added some bigger dots and stars by drawing them with a white gel pen.

I cut paper pieces from Layered Tree Die and assembled them into my white Christmas tree. I then copic colored the star to decorate the tree top. After I placed the tree onto the background panel, I arranged all colored images from Penguin Pals to selected places.

I started to ink blended  onto an A2 sized watercolor panel with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink in Tumbled Glass. Then I splattered white paint to create snow in the air. I needed to have some platform for penguins to stand on. So I cut the white border using the Scallop Borders 1 Dies. After attaching the border onto the lower part of panel, I glued some Glass glitters to create snow banks.

For the sentiment, I die cut Black and Red cardstock paper 3 times using Happy Holidays Script Die and glued them together to create better dimensions. Once it’s done, I attached it onto upper part of panel. At last, I added my cute penguins that I colored earlier and embellished the background with jewels from the Starry Sky Mix (new color from November release).

Pretty Pink Posh has the best shaker card supplements ever! How can I not make a shaker card?! 

This card came together fairly straight forward. I wanted this shaker window to be the focal point of the card. So I did not do any background color blending but cutting a piece of A2 sized panel from white woodgrain cardstock paper.

To create the shaker window, I used Ornament Shaker die and cut my frame from red cardstock paper. For the top part of this ornament, I went for white glitter cardstock paper instead to make it more interesting. I attached a piece of acetate paper right under the cut out frame and added foam stripe to create dimensions for me pouring some Winter Days Confetti Mix. Then i attached this ornament onto the background to seal the window. I simply added two colored ice-skating penguins to decorate this ornament.
