Dimensional Penguin Cards with Nordic Flair
by Jyoti Adhikari

Untitled design 3.png
Creating cards with depth and dimension is one of my favorite techniques, and today, I’m sharing a card featuring a sweet penguin and some beautiful Nordic-inspired designs from Poppystamps. Let’s dive into the details of how I made these cards stand out!

Building the Adorable Penguin Focal Point

For my card today, I chose the Nordic Playful Penguin Craft Die as my main focal point. I dressed my penguin in a cozy teal coat, scarf, and hat. The detail in this die is just charming, and the winter attire adds a cute, playful element to the card. I used foam tape to add dimension, making the penguin pop off the background.

Creating a Delicate Background

The background was made with the Nordic Fancy Background Craft Die, which is a two-piece set. I cut the solid background layer from shimmery white cardstock and the top, intricate floral layer from teal cardstock. This combination created a subtle but beautiful contrast that perfectly complements the penguin. The delicate design of the floral layer added an elegant texture, while the shimmer of the base layer gave the card a wintery sparkle.

Adding a Contrast with Circles

To help the penguin stand out even more against the detailed background, I used the Scallop Pinpoint Rings Craft Die to cut an orange circle. The warm orange color really popped against the cooler teal and white tones of the card, providing the perfect contrast for the penguin to take center stage. Untitled design 4.png

 

Crafting the Perfect Sentiment

The sentiment “Let it Snow” was created using the Let it Snow Moonlight Script Craft Die. I die-cut the letters in teal and used shimmery white cardstock for the shadow layer. This added another cohesive pop of color that tied the card together beautifully. The sentiment was placed at the bottom of the card, aligning perfectly with the overall design.

Assembling the Card

With all the elements ready, it was time to assemble! I adhered the background to an A2 card base with foam tape for that added lift. The orange circle was glued to the center, providing a vibrant base for the penguin. Finally, I attached the penguin with foam tape for even more dimension. The sentiment was carefully placed along the bottom, completing my card.

Winter Friends
by Tricia Barber

IMG_5285

Hello all!  I have a winter friends card to share with you today.  I am feeling all the plaids for this winter so I started with a plaid background from Yuletide Plaid paper pack from Memory Box.   To create my scene I die cut from white and glitter white cardstock the Nordic Treeline Craft die and used this as my background.  I layered some of the glittered die cuts on top to mimic ice and snow.

For the scene, I die cut the Nordic Playful Penguin and the Nordic Happy Snowman using the Leafy and Lagoon paper packs.   I built each of the images up and used my markers to color in the nose, eyes and penguin feet.   I made sure to match up some of the colored cardstock on each so that they went well together.   I layered these onto some cardstock strips.

To finish off my card, I stamped and die cut a greeting from the Holiday Banners Clear stamp and die set.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Challenge Reminder - Clean & Simple
by Allison Frazier

Allison Sep 24 CAS challenge
Hello Poppystamps friends! I am popping in to remind you that there is still time to play along with this month's challenge! On the first of every month we announce the challenge, and you get most of the month to join us. Just link up your design with an online gallery like Flickr, Splitcoaststampers or Instagram. We select one card that we like best as the monthly winner and then randomly select one entry as the winner of a $20 gift card to the store.


Cas card 2


For this month's challenge, our theme is "Clean & Simple." Sounds easy, right? I actually find clean & simple to be a bit challenging at times. Leaving white space can be scary to me! Thankfully, Poppystamps' dies stand on their own so well, that you really don't need to do much to make them shine.

Cas card 3


I started my card with the new Nordic Wreath and Bow. I chose three different shades of green card stock for the wreath and two shades of pink card stock for the bow. The layers for the wreath go together very easily. You can either follow the image on the packaging or do the layers a bit differently like I did. There are also different ways that you can put the bow together. I think it's adorable and so sweet. Once I glued the wreath pieces together, I mounted it on one of the circles from the Scallop Pinpoint Rings set and then glued it to a Kraft A2 card base. I then added the scallop ring around the circle. I love how these dies cut the inner circle and outer ring all at once!

Cas card 5

Next, I cut the pieces for the bird using the Nordic Bird Bunch set. I used the same two colors of pink that I used on the bow, and I added in some white and a darker pink. I just adore the birds in this set! I finished up my card with the sentiment from the Holiday Banners stamp set, which I cut with the matching die. I heat embossed it on the darker pink color that I used on my bird. I held back on adding any embellishments because...clean & simple!

We can't wait to see what you make for the challenge! You can always find the current monthly challenge by clicking on the Challenge badge in the top right hand column of the blog. Have a great day!
