Hello! After sharing a roundup of snowy techniques for handmade cards in this post, I couldn’t resist using those ideas to create my own! This whimsical penguin card, complete with a “Let It Snow” sentiment, brings together some of my favorite methods for capturing the magic of winter.

-
- To begin, create an A2-size card base from textured white cardstock.
- Cut Snowdrift cardstock with the Large Emerald Cut Scored die in the Emerald Cut Labels set and add to the card base.
- Use the Large Label Insert die in the Emerald Cut Labels set to cut patterned paper for the snowy sky.
- Use that same die to cut white glitter cardstock.
- To create a snowy ground for the scene, cut the white glitter cardstock piece along the top with one of the Color Block Scenic Scape dies. Adhere to the patterned paper insert and add assembly to the card base.
- Cut Dancin’ Penguin from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble.
- Press the sentiment in black ink on Snowdrift cardstock and cut with the coordinating die.
- To create the snowflakes, cut white glitter foam with dies in the Christmas Wreath Add-Ons set.
- Add penguin to card with foam squares, adhere the sentiment and snowflakes with glue.
This card combines die-cut snowflakes, snowflake-patterned paper, and a glitter cardstock hill to create a layered, snowy scene full of winter charm.
