Adding Dimension to Die Cuts with Markers: Peppy Penguin Slimline Card

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Once again, I cannot resist using this cute penguin die set from Lawn Fawn. I knew I had to have this little penguin when the release came out! He is very versatile and can be used for many occasions. On this card, I have three penguins precariously perched on top of each other. So very cute!!!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/2″ to create a slimline card base. I die cut another piece with the Lawn Fawn Large Slimline with Sliders. I used the largest die which measures 3-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and gives it a stitched edge. I also cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Stripes ‘n Sprinkles 6×6 Inch Petite Pack to 1-1/2 x 3-1/2″ then used the slimline die to add the stitched lines on the border.

For the background, I used Tim Holtz Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend. Then sprayed some water on it and added splatters with some pearlescent white acrylic paint.

I die cut all the penguins and the lights from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the Lawn Fawn Peppy Penguin and String of Lights Backdrop and colored them with Copic markers. I used 100, N2, N5 & N7, N0 & 0 and YR04 for the penguin; YG01 & YG25, YG25 & YG67, R30 & R32, and R14 & R29 for the lights. I stamped the hats from Frosty Family Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used Copic Markers to color them. I used R14 & R27, YG17 & YG67, C1 & 0.

I finished off the card by adding some highlights to the hats with a white gel pen and sparkly to the lightbulbs with my Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen.

On the inside of the card, I added a strip of pattern paper from Lawn Fawn Stripes ‘n Sprinkles 6×6″ Petite Pack cut to 1 x 3-1/2″ and added another penguin. I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Here We Go A-Waddling Stamps with Stampin’ Up! Poppy Parade Ink.

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.
