Puck, Penn and Percy



HAPPY FRIYAY!!!!

To celebrate one of the greatest days of the week I am sharing my favorite penguin pals!


Have I mentioned that I LOVE penguins! I guarantee this will not be the last card you see from me using Playful Penguins! I cased the card from the holiday catalog, in their example they used lighter more non-traditional type colors, but I wanted to use more of the Wrapped in Plaid DSP so I decided to change up the colors completely to compliment my new favorite paper. I loved that there was a plaid design that had 3 different colors so that I could really give each of the penguins their own look. This makes sense if you read my previous post where I had identified and gave each of the penguins a personality. I did everything but name them which come to think of it, let us just go ahead and do that. Now that we have all three of them in one place, I will introduce you more formally to my new friends! Left to right: Puck is rocking his vibrant shaded spruce scarf, as you can see he doesn't stand still for very long, Penn is shown almost sulking in his coordinating Night of Navy knit hat and scarf he is definitely the quirky penguin of the bunch, finally we have Percy who is the proper penguin, he follows the rules and he constantly has his nose turned up at the foolish behaviors of his two younger brothers; he has a traditional Cherry Cobbler scarf which is made of the finest wool this side of the Artic.






Dimensions/Supplies

Card base is shaded spruce cut at 5 1/2" x 11"
I cut two pieces of the DSP at 5 1/2" x 1 1/2" so that I can conserve all the plaid for more cards
Whisper white is cut to 5 1/2" x 3"
I hand cut the whisper white Banner, I stamped the words and then trimmed with paper snips until I had the size where I wanted it.
Ink : shaded spruce, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Smokey Slate and Grey Granite

Peek at the August class

Image
If you are coming  to my August card class then you will be able to make this card with me! I felt like mixing the old with the new when I designed this card. I absolutely love our new nautical set Sailing Home with the sailboats and the anchor, but I still love the words that are in the original lighthouse stamp set, High Tide. This was a simple layout which featured the banner triple punch ( why are the words backwards, I feel like it should be called the triple banner punch.. alas I did not name the product). The banner triple punch was designed to assist with making banners without having to fuss with getting the corners straight, it does all the work for you, which is great because banners and I do not get along! The banner punch is designed to accommodate banners that are 1 inch, 1 1/2 inches and 2 inches wide. My night of navy banner was created at 2 inches by 4 1/4 inches and my white layer is ever so slightly smaller than 2 inches by 4 inches. DSP is cut to 2 i...
