I hope everyone had a fun and safe Thanksgiving!
My share for today is a Sledding Penguins Card. Let's take a look:
These adorable little Penguins were designed by a fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrator, Donna Griffith. She shared the schematics for the Penguins on the internet. Thanks so much for sharing with us Donna! So very nicely done!!! And, I just adore them!!! Here is the link to Donna's Penguin Schematics https://www.google.com/search?q=smitten+mitten+penguins&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=ctZwfI200fFf7M%253A%252Cjm4f6QQu_fBpWM%252C_&usg=__vw51fo2QR_wBznxY0dEfOEiArGY%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiilI6F8tfXAhUGMt8KHdvhBvYQ9QEIQjAH#imgrc=ctZwfI200fFf7M:
I did make my Penguins a little different. I punched out the eyes from Basic Black Cardstock and also gave them different noses...the longer nose for a Boy Penguin and a smaller nose for the Girl Penguin. 😊😊😊
My Card Base is Soft Sky Cardstock cut at 4-1/4" x 11" and scored and folded at 5-1/2" for a top folding card.
I ran the front of my Card Base through my BIG Shot using SU's Softly Falling Embossing Folder.
Using SU's Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies, I die cut the Long Skinny Floral Die twice from Whisper White Cardstock as shown in the picture above for my Snow Banks. (You have to cut each piece twice as the die is not long enough.)
I used my Wink of Stella to brush some glittery shine along the edges of both die cut Snow Banks.
I adhered both Snow Banks to my Card Base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue leaving the tops free of adhesive so I could tuck my Trees behind the Snow Banks.
Using SU's Many Mittens Framelits Dies, I die cut the Solid Large Mitten from Garden Green Cardstock and the Detailed Mitten from Real Red Cardstock. I trimmed off the Thumbs and made it into a Sled as shown in the picture above. I also die cut the Cuff of the Mitten and embossed it with the Cuff Dies. I adhered my Sled together using Mono Multi Purpose Glue.
I also die cut my Trees from Garden Green and Old Olive Cardstocks. I used my Signo White Gel Pen to make snow on my Trees and then went over it with my Wink of Stella.
I adhered all the trees with Mono Multi Purpose Glue except the one Old Olive Tree that I adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Using SU's Oh, What Fun Stamp Set, I stamped my Sentiments in Cherry Cobbler Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock as shown in the picture above and punched them out with SU's Pretty Label Punch for my Clouds. I used my Wink of Stella and brushed along all the edges and adhered one with Mono Multi Purpose Glue and the other with Stampin' Dimensionals.
These little Penguins are just too cute!
It's a little hard for me to get into the Christmas/Winter Season with no snow on the ground and temperatures into the 50's. I'm not complaining though!
