Stay Cozy! ft. Kate Hadfield Designs

 

 

 Hello everyone!  Winter is here and it’s time to keep warm.  Where

I live we are experiencing a very cold week - made colder with the wind chill!

Time to button up and keep warm!  I've made a card to send to a

friend using products from

Kate Hadfield Designs

Bundled Up Stamp Set 

So cute and so easy to make!  Let me show you how I made my card!

 

 

I decided to take the colors from the background paper  - which I chose first,

for the scarf on the penguin.  I printed out the penguin and the sentiment

onto white card stock.  I used a cute winter font for the sentiment.

I also chose the 3 papers that I would be using.  They were all

from the same paper pad so they all coordinated nicely.  I also used a die 

from my stash to die cut the star banner from glitter card stock.

 

 

I started the coloring with the scarf to coordinate with the

patterned paper.  

 

 

I think the penguin came out super sweet!  For the darker body

of the penguin I used a BV blend of markers – one that I had not

used before.  It looks gray, but it’s actually Blue Violet.  I love

how it came out and I’ll be using that blend for all my penguins

going forward…colors are listed below.  Once the coloring was done,

I fussy cut the penguin leaving a narrow white border.

 

 

I cut all of the background papers.  The darker blue panel in the back

is 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  The 2-tone panel is 3 1/2"” x 4 ¾”.  The smaller

darker blue panel was a die from a nesting set that is actually rounded

on the top and bottom.  And the center strip is 2” x 5 ½”.  I adhered

everything flat except the penguin and the sentiment which I backed

with a piece of the darker blue paper.  I adhered the star swag across

the top and then added small clay snowflakes.  I added sparkle to the scarf

using a silver glitter gel pen and I used a white gel pen for highlights.  And

 that finished this adorable card!

 

 

There are lots of images in the Bundled Up stamp set and there is

also a bear and 3 different snowmen that could be swapped out for the

penguin.  Tag us with your creations!  We love to see how we inspire you!
