Mama Elephant Designer Series | Polar Pals (video)

My card share today showcases the brand new Polar Pals Creative Cuts dies. I created my own little "polaroid" photo using the Polaroid Fun Creative Cuts Dies complete with a scene crafted using the Polar Pals Stamp Set and new coordinating dies. I matted the entire thing on a jumbo sized tag created with the brand new Tags A Lot Creative Cuts die collection.

To create the polaroid, I first stamped and colored the images from the Polar Pals Stamp Set using Copic Markers, then I die cut the colored images with the coordinating Polar Pals Creative Cuts dies and fussy cut the snow drift, adding a touch of color with the BG0000 Snow Green Copic Marker.

I die cut the large polaroid frame from the Polaroid Fun Creative Cuts die collection from white cardstock, gray cardstock and patterned paper. I adhered the white frame to the dark gray frame, slightly off-setting the frames for a nice "shadow". I assembled the fun snow scene on the "inside piece" from the polaroid frame cut from patterned paper.

I stamped the greeting from the Polar Pals Stamp Set uisng both black and red inks.

I die cut the large tag from the Tags A Lot Creative Cuts die collection from light gray cardstock and the hole reinforcement from dark gray cardstock. I adhered the hole reinforcement to the tag, punching a hole to thread some ribbon through and tie in a pretty bow.

I assembled the frames and winter scene on the large tag and adhered washi tape to the top and bottom of the polaroid photo for a fun touch.

A scattering of Christmas colored sequins add sparkle and embellishment.

I adhered the tag to my white card base using foam adhesive.

So beautiful. Love those little penguins.

[Lercy]

First off, that little girl penguin is too cute for words! Then here we are in 2014 and polaroids are still popular! Put the two together and you have a can't miss card. Adorable! PS - I'm also a big fan of using bits and pieces of washi as accents. Thank you!

[Susan]

Great card and love your videos!

[Carol MJS]

Such an adorable card, Nichol! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video, especially your explanation about why you attached the Polaroid die cut a little off kilter with washi tape - brilliant!

[Treece]

This is such a great card. I LOVE it!
