Today, I have a Cool Penguin Card on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog. 

Here are a few step out photos and directions:

- Start with white 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base.

- Cut purple and lavender mats

- Press edges of lavender mat on watermark ink pad.  Apply Stampendous©!  Detail Gold Embossing Powder to edges and heat to emboss. Do Not stamp with snowflakes first as photo shows!  Gold embossing powder will stick to snowflakes - lesson learned!  Of course, that could be a very cool background as well!

- Repeatedly stamp snowflakes on lavender paper with watermark ink.

- Stamp verse on white cardstock with black ink. Trim to size

- Cut purple mat for verse.

- Assemble purple and lavender mats to card front and verse to purple mat using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser .

- Freehand cut snowbank from white cardstock.  Shade with watercolor markers

- Stamp penguin, hat and sweater from Stampendous©! Cool Penguin Stamps and Cutting Dies set on white cardstock with watermark ink.  Heat emboss with Stampendous©!  Detail Gold Embossing Powder .  

- Use dies from Stampendous©! Cool Penguin Stamps and Cutting Dies set to cut out penguin, hat and sweater.

- Use watercolor markers to color hat, sweater and penguin

- Attach sweater to penguin with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix

- Attach hat along bottom edge with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.  The narrow adhesive works so well along the edge!

- Fasten snowbank to card with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix in center.  Use E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive at ends

- Use Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to fasten penguin on areas that are above snowbank.  Use E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser  at bottom edge where penguin is over snowbank.

- Fasten matted verse with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix

Enjoy a Cool Penguin Card!

Happy creating!

Holly Foil Card

This is a simple Christmas card I created using a holly 5 x 7" embossing folder from Provo Craft.

I started by embossing a piece of green craft foil. I then trimmed it to this size. It could easily be cut first and placed in the folder to get just this pattern.

To remove the color, I lightly rubbed Ranger's Solvent stamp cleaner over the raised pattern. I swiped the cleaner top on a paper towel occasionally to clear off the color. A word of warning, if too much cleaner gets on the foil it will run into the debossed areas and remove color there as well. By swiping it on a paper towel, it cleans off the color as well as dries the cleaner top slightly. It's a simple technique to try on all colors of foil! There are no scratches as with sanding.

For the card front, I used Core'dinations Whitewash paper. I sanded the color off with a large emory board. I like the subtle holly pattern that accents the foil yet doesn't detract from it.

The foil is layered onto red and white cardstock. A simple knotted ribbon and greeting tag complete the card. The verse is from Hero Arts Holiday Sayings set.

..........hoping to find more time to stamp soon!
