Hello friends! Welcome back to my blog. I am joining you today to share a card I made as the May Guest Designer for The Paper Funday challenge.
As GDT, I was tasked to work with the optional twist of FAMILY, and here is my card:
This was my first ever Platform Pop-up card from Lawn Fawn, and I had so much fun making it! These 2 little penguin brothers (twins?) from the Skating By Penguins set from Time for Tea Designs are having so much fun having a snowball fight. They each have a nice-sized pile of snowballs from Lawn Fawn's Toboggan Together set, but I had to do a search through my dies to find a circle just the right size for a single snowball. I found the right one in the Build a Snowman die set from Honey Bee Stamps...it was the pompom from the larger hat. I die cut a bunch of them, and then traced the outline of the embossed inner circle with a Micron 03 pen to make it look like a stamped image. They're a bit wonky, but that's OK. I glued a few to the center hill (the penguin brothers were just warming up), and I added 2 of them to acetate picks using mini glue dots. I love how that makes them look like they are up in mid-air! In fact, I think that the penguin in the back *might* be getting hit by that lower snowball soon! 😂 To build the platform pop-up, I used 2 papers from the 12x12 Northern Lights paper pad from Michael's. I think they make the perfect scene, don't you? To add my sentiment, I die cut the stitched rectangle that comes with the platform pop up set and stamped this greeting from the Honey Bee Stamps Bitty Buzzwords: Holiday stamp set in Versa Fine Clair Nocturne ink. Oh, I forgot to mention that I had colored the penguins with alcohol markers a while ago, and cut them with my Scan N Cut. Here a couple pictures from other vantage points:
