Hi everyone! Today I want to share this festive penguin shaker card.

This week I wanted to make a birthday card but not with snowmen or other winter scenes. I’m longing for spring but it’s too early to start with spring cards isn’t it? So, I made a compromise with myself. I choose the My favorite things ‘Penguins in paradise’ stampset. This is a summer stampset but a penguin with a beverage in his paw, that’s okay for a winter card in my opinion 😉

I chose this colorful paper with dots from the Doodle bug design ‘Fairy tales’ paperpack. Then I searched for a cardbase that fit with one of the colors on the patterned paper. Then I die cut a circle out of the patterned paper and adhered a piece of acetate on the back so the circle was covered up.
I took a piece of foam tape, fold it double and cut it in 2 in lenght. That way it is very easy to fold the tape around the circle. With a brush and some kitchen flour I made sure that the inside of the foam tape didn’t stick anymore. Then I put foam tape on the rest of the panel so I would have a nice flat surface when it was adhered on the cardbase.
Then I stamped the penguin and some flowers, colored them with copic markers and fussycut them out.

I placed a mix of sequins on the card base and then I placed the panel on top of it with the sequins in the cirle.
I adhered the penguin and the flowers on the card and then stamped the sentiment on a piece of Neenah 80 lbs paper. Then I matted the sentiment with the same paper as the card base. All that was left to do was adhering the sentiment on the card and done!

Cheers and see you soon!
