Penguin Party
I have a fun little penguin party today over on the Studio Katia blog. Once the Christmas holidays are over I start to build up my winter birthday card stock supply. My Dad loves penguins so I gave this one to him for his 92nd birthday that happened last week!
I stamped the penguins and iceberg from the Kobi's Ice Day stamp set and then die cut the images with the Kobi's Ice Day co-ordinating dies. I coloured the images with Copic markers with some very simple two-shade colouring. The trees are from the Holiday Village Stamp set and they were cut with the Holiday Village co-ordinating dies, also coloured with Copic markers.
To create my icy water background I swept some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink on to my glass mat and spritzed it with some clean water. Then I swept a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock over the ink on one quick motion.
Once the inked background was dry I attached it to the card base using Studio Katia white foam adhesive. The iceberg, penguins and trees were attached with a combination of adhesive tape and white foam tape.
The sentiment in the bottom right corner is from the It's Your Birthday stamp set and was white embossed on black cardstock. To finish the card off I glued some Iridescent Crystals to the card front and it is done
I hope you have some time to pop over to see my card, also to find out if you were the winner of last week's GIVEAWAY !
Thanks so much for stopping in today!

Hello Crafty Friend
I have a card and video up on the Birch Press Design blog today using the new Dazzle Bevel Layer Set dies.
I hope you have a chance to pop over and see all the details!
To begin with I ink blended a rainbow background using Distress Oxide inks in Pink Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Mowed Lawn and Peacock Feather. I cut all the layers from the Dazzle Bevel Layer Set from white and glued the layers together to create two panels--one for the top and one for the bottom.
I used the Hello Topper die for the first line of my sentiment and then I used the Just Because stamp set for the second line 'crafty friend'.

AJVD 10th Birthday Celebration and New Release
I am up on the blog today sharing my final post with A Jillian Vance Design! I have thoroughly enjoyed the past couple of years on the design team and a birthday celebration to the perfect post to end my journey with them! Thank you Bunny & Jillian!
I used the fabulous new Make A Wish 6 x 8 Stamp Set for this first card. The ribbon was Copic coloured using V12, V15 and just a touch of V17. To create the polka dotted wrapping paper on the present I paper pieced the stamped image with some fun purple patterned paper. I stamped a few tiny hearts from the Big Love stamp set for a bit of interest. The top panel was cut with the Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop die and attached to a purple card base with foam tape for a bit of dimension.
Keeping with the birthday theme I used the new Delightful Daisy Jr. die set for my second card!
I stamped and white embossed the Hollywood strip from the Make A Wish stamp set across the bottom of a piece of bright patterned paper. Trimmed down to 5 1/4" x 4" it was attached to a white card base. I die cut the large flower from the Delightful Daisy Jr. die set from red cardstock. I die cut the pink flower center from patterned paper and white embossed the sentiment from the new Hey Cupcake stamp set in the center. Both the red flower and then the pink center were attached to the card base with foam tape. Just enough dimension and still able to mail.
Thank you for stopping in today and I hope you head over to the A Jillian Vance Design shop to check out the new release and maybe enjoy the free shipping offer!
