[IG HOP DAY 3] Pretty Pink Posh - Penguin Mugs

Hello there,

I'm happy to be back with this lovely winter themed card showcasing items from the Pretty Pink Posh November 2025 release. How amazing is this release with all the extra cute penguin themed products? Definitely one of my favorite releases ever!

Make sure to check my post on Instagram and hop along for more Winter inspiration!

I started off by making the background and cut a Pierced Snowflakes panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I covered it with hickory smoke oxide ink and blended a little bit of black soot oxide ink on the edges to darken my panel. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over the panel, next I did the same with black soot oxide ink, and then the same again with brushed pewter mica spray to bring sparkles and shine to my background. And finally I used the Twinkle stencil along with silver paste to add even more sparkles to my panel.

I set my panel aside to dry, and cut all the bits and pieces I needed to create my mugs. I cut them out of white, light grey, black, orange and brown cardstock, silver glitter and white glitter cardstock, vellum, and a cute snowflake pattern paper. As always, here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: Penguin Mugs - mugs, scarves, feet, beaks, marshmallows, whipped cream, beverage pieces Christmas Bucket Additions + Christmas Holder Additions - snowflakes Easter Mug Additions - rounded pieces on the scarves.

I added brown and white splatters to the beverage pieces, white splatters to the scarves and mug handles, liquid stardust splatters to the white snowflakes, and brushed pewter and white splatters to the vellum whipped cream. When everything was dry I assembled the mugs and snowflakes using foam squares and liquid glue, and then I attached my Penguin Mugs on my card using foam squares again.

I did my greeting in two parts. I used the Let It Snow Shadow die set to cut the word "Snow" out of black cardstock and its shadow out of dark grey cardstock. I attached the word to its shadow using liquid glue, and then attached the whole thing in the top left hand corner of my panel using foam squares. Next I white heat embossed "one else like you" from Let It Snow on black cardstock, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 1 die, and then stuck the banner in the bottom right hand corner of my panel using foam squares again.

For the final details, I picked some snowflake confetti from the Winter Wonderland mix and glued one in the center of each snowflake, and I also applied a coat of glossy accents to the word "Snow" to make it very shiny.
