This adorable penguin is from the Wild Bunch Stamp Set, June’s Product of the Month. I stamped him in Basic Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used three Stampin’ Blends for coloring. It took tiny amounts of Smoky Slate, Golden Glow, and Barely Blush for his mostly white body. Keep reading to see how I used the “inlay” technique to make the penguin “flush” to the card front. Keep in mind that you can add this set to your $75 order for just $5.00, and get free shipping.

Wild Bunch Penguin

Rather than fussy cutting the penguin, I used a Sweet Words & Labels Die for cutting. Then, I used a size larger die to cut Hydrangea Hue Cardstock, creating a frame. After cutting the frame, I decided to “inlay” the penguin, and used the smaller die to cut a hole in the Hydrangea Hue frame. Next, I used the larger die to cut a hole in the plaid, background paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″. After gluing the 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Garden DSP to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 5 1/4″, I glued the framed penguin in the hole.

“Hi friend” is from the Wild Bunch Stamp Set. I stamped it in Basic Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Sweet Words & Labels Die for cutting. A size larger die was used to cut Hydrangea Hue Cardstock for framing. The framed sentiment was glued on top of the card front. Can you see the difference?
