Let It Snow Penguin Shaker

Hello, everyone! It’s Samantha here happy to be guest designing for the November Pretty Pink Posh release.  I’m excited to share a fun shaker card featuring new Penguin Shaker Die. 

To start off my card, I first made my penguin. I die-cut him from black, white, and orange card stock, and I cut several additional outline layers from white cardstock to stack for my shaker. After adhering acetate to the top of my shaker panel, I filled my shaker penguin with the new Black Tie Shaker Beads before sealing him up and moving onto my background. 

Since my penguin was on the larger size, I decided he would be perfect for a 5.5” square card. To start my background, I cut a 5” x 5” panel from white cardstock and did an hombre background in shades of plum. Next, I die-cut a 5” long strip of white cardstock, ink-blended in the lightest of lavenders, using the new Snowy Hills Border Dies. After adding white splatter to my plum background panel, I adhered my snowy hills die-cut with foam tape and attached the entire panel to a 5.5” white folding card-base. 

To finish off my scene, I attached my Shaker Penguin and gave him a little Santa hat cut from dark green and white cardstock using dies from the Christmas Holder Additions die set. I also cut several presents to decorate the ground around my penguin using gift box dies found in both the Christmas Holder Additions Die Set and the new Penguin Holder die set. All that was left was to add a sentiment stamped with the new Let it Snow stamps and Let it Snow coordinating dies and my cute card was complete. I can’t wait to give it to one of my nieces for Christmas!
