Penguin Pals

These little penguins are the best of friends! This is PK-318 Penguin Doll Set. This is the stamp set. They also have Cottage Cutz dies if you prefer to cut your images and paper piece. After stamping the penguins a few times and not doing such a great job eyeballing my images, I had a light bulb moment. Maybe you all know this already, but it was new to me. I thought put the main image on the acrylic block, turn it over and line up the hat with the penguin. Stamp the hat.

Line up the scarf on the block, remove the hat stamp, then stamp the scarf. No need to mask the hat yet as the scarf will not overlap the hat. Stamp the hat and the scarf on scrap paper or masking paper or a post it and cut out. You only need to cut the hat where the face will be, however, you do need to cut the scarf out completely. I tacked the scarf with a little adhesive tape and just put the hat mask in place. Then I stamped the penguin image over the masked hat and scarf. Remove the masks. Now it is ready to color. I hope this information is helpful! I like to look for easier ways to do things. For me, this is easier than using a card positioning system. Of course this can only be done with clear stamps. You would have to use a CPS with wood or cling stamps if you need precision.

I stamped mittens around the penguins to frame them, added some glitter and twine to finish the card. The images were colored with various copic markers. If you have any questions, please ask away in the comment section, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks so much for stopping by!
