Penguin Palace Challenge #32

 It's the last Penguin Palace Challenge of 2023. This time it's a Sketch Challenge.

I needed a quick birthday card, so this sketch was the perfect inspiration.

I used the Penguin Palace Fancy Gift Bow Stencils 360° for the main image. I blended Gina K. Designs Blue Raspberry ink through the stencil, cleaned the stencil, replaced it over the design and inked it up with VersaMark ink. Then I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.

The sentiment is from the Penguin Palace An Amazing Friend stamp set, and was also stamped with Blue Raspberry ink. I cut it out and placed it over the middle of the design. Then I added a layer of Blue Raspberry cardstock before adhering it to a white card base. I added a few snowflakes from Picket Fence Studios Icicles Sequin Mix Plus.

December Scor-Pal card

This month, I have a fairly easy Christmas card. I am always looking for quick cards at this busy time of year.

When the sides are opened, it looks like this.

To make this card, you will need:

Scor-Buddy

Scor-Tape

The Stacker

Cardstock - 5 1/2" x 10 1/4"

I used the following to decorate:

DCWV Holiday Stack patterned paper - 2 pieces - 1 1/2" x 5 1/4",

                                                                 2 pieces - 1 1/4" x 5 1/4", 

                                                                 1 piece - 3 1/2" x 5 1/4"

Heartfelt Creations Poinsettia Ornament 2 stamp

Crafters Companion CI24 stamp set (came with a magazine)
Hero Arts Oval Infinity dies
Gina K. Designs Cherry Red ink
Gold foil cardstock

VersaMark ink

Gold embossing powder

Snowflake punch

With the 10 1/4" side at the top, score at 1 3/4", 3 1/4", 7", and 8 1/2". Starting from one side, make a valley fold and then a mountain fold. Repeat on the other side.

This is the base of your card, and you can decorate it for any occasion.

I stamped the ornament with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it in gold. I don't have the matching die, so I fussy cut it. I die cut an oval out of white cardstock and a slightly larger one out of gold foil cardstock, and taped them together. I stamped the sentiment with Cherry Red ink and added the ornament.

I taped the patterned paper onto the card base and added the oval panel to the front. I thought it needed a little something, so I punched out some snowflakes in white and gold. Here is the card fully opened.
