Penguin Winter Scene Card featuring New and Old Lawn Fawn Products

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. This cute scene card was created using some older Lawn Fawn dies with their new holiday collection. I used the Lawn Fawn Spooky Forest Backdrop die which came out for Halloween as the forest on this card. I combined it with the new Peppy Penguin and String of Lights Backdrop dies to create this cute scene.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create an A2 card base. Then die cut the backdrop from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the Lawn Fawn Spooky Forest Backdrop and the hillsides from Simon Says Stamp WHITE GLITTER 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders. I also cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Candy Cane Lane 6×6 Inch Petite Paper Pack to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

I die cut the strings of lights from silver cardstock from the Tim Holtz Metallic Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Kraft Stock Paper and the bulbs from Tim Holtz Metallic Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock Paper and Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ for the lightbulb backs. I cut off the individual strings and added them separately. I saved the outside silver border to add to the card.

I die cut the little penguin from Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Cardstock, Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100lb Slate Gray, and Stampin’ Up! Pumpkin Pie 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock. I popped up the spooky forest and one layer of the hillsides using 3M Foam Tape for added dimension.

For the penguin’s hat, I stamped the hat from the Lawn Fawn HATS OFF TO YOU Stamps onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored it with Copic markers. I used R17 and R29, C5, C7, and C9.

I stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Winter Stamps
onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Rockin’ Red Ink.

I left the inside of the card blank.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s an easy way to make a shaker card. Just use word dies to cut out the shaker window! This one was created using Catherine Pooler Designs Festive Joy Word Die.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ as well as a piece of watercolor paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ for the background.

For the back panel I used Color Burst Powder (Brights) to add watercolor. Then die cut it using the CP Dots & Scallops Dies. I stamped swirl from the CP It’s Magic Background Stamp with CP Midnight Ink.

I die cut the shaker window using the CP Festive Joy Word Die, added some acetate behind it as well as some foam tape. I added sequins in pinks, reds, greens and white iridescent to the shaker. And backed it with a piece of Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100lb Black Cardstock.

I stamped a sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Holiday Joy Sentiments Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Midnight Ink and fuzzycut it. I also stamped the holly from the same set and colored using Copic markers. I used R59 & R27, YG17 & YG25.

On the inside of the card, I added the positive of the word joy I previously cut out and added another holly. And for the sentiment, I stamped a sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Holiday Joy Sentiments Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Midnight Ink and fuzzycut it.

I die cut the hillsides from Lawn Fawn Spiffier Speckles 6×6 Inch Paper using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders and Queen & Company Foundation 16 and used Foam Tape to pop up the front hillside.
