Penguin 21st Birthday Card

Hello and welcome back.

I made today's card for a colleagues 21st birthday and she as loves penguins so it just had to be penguins. This is a really derpy looking penguin, but it's such a fun little penguin, this has got to be one of my favourites.

The base card is Smoky Slate, with a layer of Whisper White card on top. The Whisper White card has been put through the Big Shot in the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. So pretty...

I made two banners for the sentiment and stamped Happy on one in Smoky Slate ink and Birthday on the other, the sentiment is from the set Big On Birthdays, its photopolymer so I cut the Happy Birthday stamp to separate the Happy and the Birthday... I love that you can do this with this type of stamp...

The Penguin is a template I made from a picture I had seen, the bow is made using the Bow Builder Punch (in the main catalogue) this makes such cute little bows and the heart is also a Stampin'Up punch.

I made the balloon using the 2 1/2" Circle punch and added a little hand cut frill to it. I then covered it with Wink of Stella Clear Glitter, it gives it such a shimmery look to the balloon. I cut out the 21 using the Large Number Framelits, these and the matching Large Letter Framelits are my New Best Friends......
I love how this came out and luckily so did the recipient....

Curvy Keepsake Wednesday

Hey there and welcome back to another Curvy Keepsake Wednesday...

This weeks Curvy Keepsake Box is very delicate looking, and would be ideal as a wedding favour box.

 

They are made from Vellum,( Stampin'Up! do a really good quality vellum perfect for this sort of thing) you start off by cutting out two pieces for each box.

 

Then you are going to run them through the Big Shot in an Embossing Folder, for this one I chose the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, you will need to do each side of the box separately, especially important with certain patterns.

 

Once embossed you can stick them together and assemble as you would normally do. These also look great as table decorations with battery tea lights inside especially in a darkened room.

 

Then you can add any decorations that you want, I added a vellum bow made with the Bow Builder Punch, really easy.

 

 For this one I chose the Boho Chic Embossing Folder, and assembled it in the same way.

There are so many different Embossing Folders available, so the sky's the limit as they say....lol

 

The look so pretty and you can fill them with treats or something a little more special, they can be hung on the Christmas Tree with treats in or Battery tea lights, so many things you can do with them...

 

I hope you enjoyed this weeks Curvy Keepsake Box, be sure to pop back next week for another instalment.
