August 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Cards that Move

Hi there and welcome to the August 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! This month we are sharing cards that move and I decided to create a moving 2-fold card that I saw on Pinterest (see it here) that was created by Mary Deatherage. I love this card technique and hope you do, too! I changed up my dimensions just a bit to make it easier to cut - I'll share those soon.

I wanted to use the new Penguin Place bundle (stamp set and coordinating punch) from the Holiday catalog along with the matching Penguin Playmates DSP that is a Sale-a-Bration selection free with a $50 purchase. I also used one of the new Wonderful Snowflakes embellishments - don't you love it?

Here is a view from above of the card - there are a lot of folds involved but I like how the accordion fold opens the card. It does make it hard to photograph, though! Check out all the fun patterns I used from the Penguin Playmates DSP!! The colors are so fun and the images are cute.

For this front panel, I relied heavily on the DSP. The dotted background and little penguin are from the DSP. I like how the pretty Wonderful Snowflake embellishment shines in the background. I added a sentiment from the Penguin Place stamp set inked with Fresh Freesia on top to complete the front panel. I think the tree patterned DSP is really bright and fun, too!

The back of that front panel also includes another fun piece of the DSP. You can also see how I completed the inside of the card as well as the DSP panels on the accordion folds that work to open the card.

For the inside of the card, I added a few more strips of the colorful striped DSP and added a sentiment stamped in Misty Moonlight DSP. The penguin was stamped on a separate sheet of basic white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black and Calypso Coral ink and then cut out using the coordinating punch (easy-peasey!). I used a stampin' dimensional to raise him up a little for contrast.

Here is one last view of my closed card. I hope you've enjoyed my moving 2-fold card featuring the Penguin Place product suite. For even more moving cards inspiration and ideas, be sure to check out the other designer's blog posts using the links below.
