My first step was to create the adorable Penguin Mugs. I die-cut the pieces and assembled the mugs, adding some fun accessories like the scarves, marshmallows, and whipped cream. I chose Onyx Pearls for the eyes and gave these cuties rosy cheeks with Copic marker R00. I finished them up with a few white gel pen highlights.
With the Penguin Mugs ready to go, I got to work on the background. I wanted to use both mugs for this card design, so I chose an A6, or 4.5 x 6.25 inch, card size. I started by stenciling the Candy Cane Stripe on a Tidepool cardstock panel with white pigment ink. The stencils measure 6×6, slightly shorter than the height of the card. So I first stenciled the bottom portion of the panel before shifting the stencil up a bit, being sure to align the stripes, and then finished stenciling the top portion. Next, I die-cut a Wonky Stitched Rectangle from more Tidepool cardstock and stenciled on some snow flurries using stencil paste and one of the layers from the Layered Penguin Stencils. This layer also has the belly of the penguins, so I masked each of those with tape before stenciling and was left with just a few small snowflakes. Then I attached this panel to the center of the Candy Cane Stripe panel.
Now it was time to bring it all together. First, I attached the Penguin Mugs to the background panel, allowing the handles to overhang just a bit because the card will still fit nicely in a 5×7 envelope. Then I heat embossed a greeting with silver embossing powder on white cardstock before die-cutting it with the coordinating dies. I used foam strips to attach the greeting to my card design and finished with a few die-cut snowflakes.
Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my festive wintertime card featuring the new Penguin Mug Dies from the latest Pretty Pink Posh release!
