Welcome to our Blog Hop!

Welcome to the monthly Fun Folds Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators!!

We have a great lineup of talented crafters for you today, who enjoy creating fun folds.  If you love fun folds, I am hoping you find inspiration and enjoyment so much that you will be inspired to join us next time.  You are in for a treat with all the talented demonstrators participating. You can find that list  located at the end of the post about my card creation.  

This fun card is my great granddaughter’s Christmas card.  This is made using Penguin Place stamp set, a retired Stampin’ Up! product.  I thought it would be perfect for her Christmas card.  Add a piece of Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper to the front of the  back  panel of the card.  Another piece will also be added to the reverse side to create the front of the card when it is closed.

I stamped in Memento Black ink the penguins from Stampin’ Up! Penguin Place stamp set.  Their bill is stamped in Mango Melody and their feet in Crumb Cake ink.  The scarves and caps are stamped in Real Red, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, and Blueberry Bushel inks.

 

Cut two pieces of card stock or Designer Series Paper, I used Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper, 2″ x 4″ to create the snow banks the Penguins are on.  Use Tear and Tape or another adhesive of choice to adhere the box, I used Tear and Tape on the edge of the box to adhere together . Use Tear and Tape or another adhesive to adhered the boxes to the card base after the snow banks are adhered to the boxes. See the photo above for the hills.  You can shape the snow banks any shape you choose. 

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!
