GINA K. DESIGNS AND THERMOWEB - Penguin Pals Kit

Hello everyone!

I am here with Gina K. Designs featuring the newly released "Penguin Pals Kit".  This kit is so adorable, it comes with a stamp set, a stencil and dies to create the penguin, and many die to help you create your project.  This is a one-time deal, once the kit is sold out it will not be available, so get it while you can.  The set is only available on ThermOWeb's website.  

I have created two cards for your inspiration:

Donna Idlet, Gina K. Designs, Thermoweb,  Penguin Pals Kit, ink blending, penguins, fancy foil,  Deco Foil Flock,  die cutting, Duo gel,

My first card is an A2 card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2), I used the GKD Master Layouts 1 to die cut the layers.  

I ink blended the background using GKD inks (Wild Lilac, with a little black on the edges) and used some white pigment ink to splatter the background.  

I die cut the snow hills using GKD Master Layouts 6.  I ink blended the hills using GKD ink Sea Glass.

I die cut the cut penguins using Deco Flock in black (for the body), white (for the body), orange glow (for the feet, beak, scarf and earmuff), think pink (for the scarf and bow), and purple punch (scarf and earmuff).  

The tree I die cut using GKD Fancy Foil Glittering Green using solid black toner paper.

I stamped the sentiment using the stamp set, which I heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Assembled the card.

My next card, I created an A2 shaker card. I cut the top panel at 4 x 5 1/4, I die cut the circle using GKD Circle Shadow Shakers die cuts.  

I inked blended the layer with GKD Sea Glass and Navy ink.  

I then die cut a circle in the center.  I  stenciled the background using the snowflake stencil from the kit with the Deco Foil Transfer Duo Gel.  After the Transfer Duo Gel dried, I added Fancy Foil Brilliant Blue foil to the circle and ran it through my minc.  I have the Fuse Foiling System on order!  I can't wait to get it Thursday!

I added some acetate in the back of the top layer, added GKD Double-sided Adhesive Foam Shaker Strips to the back layer of the panel, added some GKD Mini Snowflakes and attached the foiled circle to the panel, and finished the card off by adding the stitched circle die to the card.

I made a snowman from the body of the penguin and assembled the penguin.  I added these to the card panel.  

Stamped the sentiment and finished the card off by adding some snowflakes.   


Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have been inspired and will join the hop.
