Angela's PaperArts: Angels of Peace Christmas card

The Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper isn't just for penguin cards.  I teamed this pretty paper with the Angels of Peace stamp set to create this Christmas card.

I did some very simple watercolouring on the stamped angel and then diecut the image using the Ornate Layers dies.   

So don't just think about using the Sale-a-Bration Penguin Playmates 12x12" Designer Series Paper penguin cards, it can be used with many different styles of stamp sets.  Plus it's free too with an eligible $90 order.

Angela's PaperArts: Christmas Penguin Place card

For this week's card, I made a Christmas card featuring the Stampin' Up! Penguin Place bundle and the free Sale-A-Bration Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper.  

For this Christmas card, I punched out the penguin from the Penguin Playmates DSP and fussy cut out the Polar Bear from the paper too.  I also used the Layering Diorama Dies to add layers and given the snow theme, added a couple of large white snowflakes from the So Many Snowflakes Dies.  I stamped the presents and all other elements on the card.

The Penguin Place stamp set with its co-ordinating Penguin Punch bundle continues to be one of my favourite bundles from the new mini catalogue due to its versatility.  During Sale-a-Bration you can get the co-ordinating Penguin Playmates 12x12" Designer Series Paper for free too with an eligible $90 order. 

Tip: Some of the penguins printed on the Penguin Playmates DSP can be punched out using the Penguin Punch.  The penguin on my card was one punched out of the paper instead of being stamped and punched out. I used a scrap post-it-note as a handle to make it easier to punch out the penguin.

Angela's PaperArts: Penguin Place bundle birthday card

The new Stampin' Up! July-December mini catalogue launched recently, along with a second Sale-A-Bration catalogue for this year which is on now and ends on 30 September.  

One of my favourite bundles from the new mini catalogue is the Penguin Place stamp set with its co-ordinating Penguin Punch.  As a bonus during Sale-a-Bration, you can also get the co-ordinating Penguin Playmates 12x12" Designer Series Paper for free too with an eligible $90 order. 

So why do I like this bundle - because it's so cute and it's also a versatile bundle that isn't just for Christmas.  

For this week's card I made a birthday card featuring the bundle, the Sale-A-Bration Penguin Playmates DSP plus the Basic Border dies were used to create the 'clouds' background.  

I have two tips to share with you for making this card:

Tip 1: Some of the penguins printed on the Penguin Playmates DSP can be punched out using the Penguin Punch.  The penguin on my card was one punched out of the paper instead of being stamped and punched out. I used a scrap post-it-note as a handle to make it easier to punch out the penguin.

Tip 2: If you have the recently retired balloon punch, you can punch out the stamped balloons using the small balloon in that punch instead of having to fussy cut them.
