Kanban Snowman/ Penguin Topper Cards

Hello Friends

 

A couple more simple cards for you.  These would be great if you are batch making to sell or if you are a business and send out cards to all your customers at Christmas or even if you sell a lot online and want to include a small thank you, Merry Christmas, remembering that we will all be starting to hunt for our Christmas gifts. 

 

I will be buying all handmade where possible and supporting small businesses in this difficult climate.  Buying handmade means good quality, non mass produced and very unlikely to be found on the high street so unique and quirky.

 

For these cards I used A6 card blanks, lovely Christmas backing papers from a designer paper pad, frosty blue satin ribbon, blue adhesive gems, Christmas red chalk pad, Rainbow Mirri Card, Quickie Glue Pen, ultra-fine red glitter, glitter white embossing powder, Versamark Pen, Sakura Clear Glaze Pen/ Red Glitter Pen/ Clear Star Pen, double sided tape and foam pads.

I used a Versamark Pen to highlight the swirls & star design on the card blank then covered with embossing powder to pick these out.  I inked around the card and the backing paper with the chalk pad to pick out the red from the penguins hat.  I used a Quickie glue pen to pick out the snowflake centres on the backing paper and then covered with red ultra fine glitter to add some sparkle and attached to the card with double sided tape.  I then attached the main topper with foam pads, added a satin bow with red line tape and another mini topper.  To finish I added blue adhesive gems.

 

I inked around the edge of the card and backing paper with the chalk pad, layered the backing paper on a piece of Rainbow Mirri Card and attached to the card using double sided tape.  I used a Sakura Clear Glaze Pen to give the snowman's nose a glossy look, picked out the scarf and hat detail with the Red Sakura Glitter Gel Pen and used the Sakura Clear Star Glitter Gel Pen to highlight some of the white on the snowman himself giving a lovely sparkle.  I added some blue adhesive gems and attached the Kanban topper and the sentiment with foam pads.

 

Happy Crafting!!
