Welcome everyone! Today I’m sharing some inspiration using the Winter Cheer set from Gina K Designs. This has been sitting on my shelf begging to be inked up. What attracted me to this set was this adorable penguin. If any of the products shown are out of stock, please be sure to click the “Notify Me” button and you’ll get emailed as soon as it’s back in stock!
I stamped the penguin onto white card stock numerous times with Obsidian ink. Then using my copic markers I colored in the hat and added a little shading to the belly and beaks. The banner is stamped in Red Velvet ink. There is also a coordinating die which I used to die cut out my images with my Spellbinders Platinum 6 machine.
I’m going to be using Red Velvet for my card stock base. I die cut a few of the snowflakes from the Snowflake Trio die set from Red Velvet card stock as well. I added the snowflakes to my card base using Connect glue and I love how this tone on tone makes it looks like the snowflakes are embossed. I did not come up with this trick on my own. I picked up from my fellow crafty friend Debi Adams.
Once the snowflakes are attached I added my penguins and banner using a dot runner and foam squares.
Very clean and simple but using the Red Velvet card stock really packs a punch.
Gina is also having a sale right now! Valid until 12/10/20 so don’t hesitate!

Cute! And thx for the reminder about the sale. Things are probably pretty picked over, but I will take a look.

What greeting did you use for the inside of the card? Such a sweet card..
I typically don’t put greetings inside my cards until I’m ready to send them out
