Today I’m sharing another Christmas card that I made using Whimsy Stamps – Penguin Candy Cane.

The image was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and coloured in with Copic markers. Once I finished colouring the image, I fussy cut around it.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Creative Expressions – Christmas Wishes paper was cut to be the same size as the base and was applied directly to the card using double-sided tape. A finger dauber was used to apply Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Candied Apple around all of the edges of the card. Using a Cuttlebug, I die cut the larger snowflake with Creative Expressions – Festive Collection – Lace Snowflake Frame and the smaller snowflakes with Poppy – Simple Snowflakes out of Lawn Fawn – Sparkle Cardstock in “Pixie Dust” paper. The holly and leaves were die cut using dies from Spellbinders – Dancin’ Figgy Pudding and some scraps of Recollections – Green cardstock and Crafter’s Companion Luxury Cardstock – Red. I used a Copic marker G99 to make the veins darker in the leaves and a White Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen to add a highlight on the berries and then used liquid glue to assemble them.

The whole card was now ready to assemble. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the completed image and it was popped up onto the centre of the large snowflake. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was then applied to the large snowflake and it was popped up onto the centre of the card. Liquid glue was applied to the holly and berries and smaller snowflakes which were adhered directly to the card base. Lastly, I applied U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape to the sentiment from Hunkydory Essential Book of Christmas Sentiments 2023 and popped it up onto the corner of the card to finish it off.
