This adorable handmade birthday card idea was copied from the 2021 Sale-a-bration brochure. All of the critters are from the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper. So, too, is the striped patterned paper. As terrific as the images in this paper pack are, so too is the color combination. We have Just Jade, Fresh Freesia, Misty Moonlight, Soft Sea Foam, Calypso Coral (fox), Basic Black, and Balmy Blue (not used on this card idea).
The penguin was punched with the coordinating Penguin Punch. The other two animals were hand-trimmed using Paper Snips. Also was the hand-stamped winter cap from the Stampin’ Up! Penguin Place Stamp Set.
For my next winter card idea, I used just the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper except for the greeting. This greeting and the “Happy Birthday” are included in the stamp set.
The card was quite cute with the winter scene as the focal point. I decided to get fancy-dandy and use my Paper Snips again to trim the penguin, snowman, and polar bear to provide some depth. You certainly can skip that part. Sometimes, I just can’t help myself. 🙂 The Paper Snips do make hand-trimming an easy task.
The Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper is one of the FREE-with-$50-order for the 2021 Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Special Part II. Just think about all the adorable winter and/or Christmas cards you can make with it!

There’s elegance then there is sheer elegance. That’s what you get with my Stampin’ Up! Summer Shadows Dies card. Watch my cardmaking tutorial now to see how to make it.
As promised, you saw two more handmade cards. One was a Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer card idea using the stamp set alone. The second was a handstamped card using the dies to die-cut the flowers from the stamp set. If you missed it, go back to see it now. It’s towards the end of the tutorial. The supplies for that card are listed below the supplies for the card pictured to the left.
The 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum is sure pretty and pairs beautifully the Stampin’ Up! Summer Shadows Dies.

Halloween, meant to me as a child, means you get to dress up and get candy. Now, as an adult, I get to see children in their costumes and give them candy. Some of my sweet stampers avoid making Halloween cards. That’s why I designed a handmade card that can be used for Halloween or not.
Clever Cats is from the July-December 2021 Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog. Even though I didn’t use any Sale-a-bration 2021 exclusive products for Halloween card ideas (or not), your product orders of $50 or more placed in my online store will earn FREE Sale-a-bration gift(s)!
