Peace!

It's that time of year again! Time for the Fall/Halloween/Christmas release from Stampendous! We've been busy for the last several months creating lots of samples with these great new stamps and are so happy to be able to finally share them with you!

This week Fran is in the UK sharing all kinds of great ideas on HOCHANDA (a TV station) featuring the new  catalog products. Well, we couldn't let that happen without sharing them here too!

Today I'm sharing a sweet card featuring the darling new penguin from the Winter Friends  Stamp Set (CRS5091) and the matching Die Cut Set (DCS5091). I've paired him with the new Festive Background Stamp (CRR272).

Instructions:

Step 1:  Fold a 6" x 9 1/2" piece of Seafoam cardstock in half to form an A6 card

Step 3:  Tape the Folk Dove stencil to a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of cream cardstock with removable tape
Step 4:  Use a palette knife and paste spreader to apply Pearlescent Embossing Paste over the design, remove stencil and place in water for cleaning later
Step 5:  Sprinkle the wet paste with Teal Glitter, tap off extra, let paste dry

Step 6: When paste is dry, cut around the dove image leaving a small edge
Step 7:  Stamp the saying on a 2 1/4" x 2 3/4"  piece of cream cardstock with P. Jade ink, wipe off the stamp and reink with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, stamp over the Jade as close as possible, but the little "shadow" look is great

Step 9: Use foam tape to attach the Folk Dove
