Today I’m sharing a project from my Christmas in July class. This cute little guy is so cold he’s blue. But I think he likes it that way. It’s a cute card that actually could be used for any winter occasion.

Here’s how I did it.

The card base is Soft Sky card stock with an Island Indigo layer on top. All the stamped images are from the Snow Place stamp set.

I stamped the Whisper White layer with snowflakes in Soft Sky. They’re subtle and don’t show well in this photo, I’m afraid. I ran it through the Big Shot using the Softly Falling embossing folder, then glued it to the card front.

I stamped the penguin and hat in Island Indigo ink onto another piece of Whisper White card stock, and cut them out with the coordinating dies from the Snow Friends Framelits. I used a Blender Pen to spread the ink of his beak and feet – it’s a very subtle way to color them in.

I stamped the sentiment in Island Indigo onto a strip of Whisper White card stock, and notched the right end – you can do this with the Banner Triple Punch or with Paper Snips. I matted the sentiment on a slightly wider strip of Soft Sky card stock and cut the end to match the white piece. I attached this to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I glued a pompom from the Whisper White Mini Pompom Trim to the hat as shown, then glued the hat to the penguin’s head. I attached this whole piece to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals, covering the left end of the sentiment.

The final touch is three Rhinestone Basic Jewels, 2 small and 1 medium size, on the snowy background.

Here’s what I used:
