Party Penguins


Nothing like a Penguin Party for a great Holiday Season!  These little guys were colored with Copics and are having a blast in all that glittery snow!  The icicles are a Cottage Cutz Die embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle's Shimmer embossing powder.  Then the layer of snow is Aleene's True Snow that I found at Marco's Papers.  The snow is covered with Stampin Up's Dazzling Diamonds glitter before it dries.   The snowflakes are also covered in Shimmer EP and punched with a Fiskar's punch.  The letters are cut with my Silhouette.

 This is my second attempt at a Vertical Stair Step card.  Some of you may remember my Valentine one where I used the Noortje-design template which was in centimeters.  I needed a wider stair step to accomodate the fat little penguins, so I revised the template for a 3/4" wide step instead of the 3/8" step in the original AND I made all the dimensions in inches so that it's a breeze to lay the template on the cardstock and score it through the template on the scoreboard.  The cuts can also be made right thru the template - all you need do is attach it to your cardstock with removable tape. The template is below if you would like it.  You should be able to just click on it and print, but if that doesn't work you can copy and paste it into Word but make sure you set it at no margins and make the image fit the paper.  Then the drawing should be the 4 3/8" x 7 1/2".    If you have any questions, feel free to email me.


Here are a few more views of the card:
