[VIDEO HOP] Pretty Pink Posh - November 2025 Release - Penguin Shaker & Winter Trees

Hello there,

Today's card is part of the Pretty Pink Posh November 2025 Video Hop, so make sure to scroll down to the end of this post and check the process video for more details about this hop.

This brand new release is full packed with adorable winter themed items, super cute penguin stamps and dies, several amazing stencils and more die sets to help us decorate and complete our cards!

I started off by cutting a Pierced Snowflake panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock and created a snowy background with the brand new Snowflake stencil. My inspiration for this card's color palette was the Black Tie shaker beads, so that's why, except for the beak and feet, I went for a full black, grey, white and silver color palette.

So I stenciled my panel with hickory smoke and black soot oxide inks, kept the stencil in place, and then added lots of details and textures. I used brushed pewter mica spray to add metallic grey splatters to my panel, I also added white splatters using copic opaque white ink, and then mixed black soot oxide ink with water and added black splatters all over my panel. Removed the stencil and set my panel aside to dry. Next I cut a Snowy Hill Border out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock and used the same inks to add details and textures.

Next I worked on my Winter Trees. I cut five trees out of silver glitter cardstock, five more trees out of white, dark grey and light grey cardstock, added liquid stardust splatters and white splatters to each of those cardstock trees, and, once dry, I attached each of them to a silver tree, shifting them a little bit to the top in order to get silver borders on each tree. And when attaching those trees, I applied liquid glue only in the middle so I could lift up the branches later and this way add more dimension to the trees.

Next I created my cute Penguin Shaker following those steps:

1. I cut the frame out of black cardstock, and a whole penguin panel out of acetate that I stuck at the back of the frame using liquid glue,

2. Still at the back of the frame, I attached foam strips along the edges of the penguin, and made the edges of those foam strips non sticky using my powder tool,

3. I poured a bunch of Black Tie shaker beads inside the penguin, cut another whole penguin panel out of a snowflake pattern paper, and attached that panel to the foam strips to close my Penguin Shaker,

4. Next I decorated the front of my shaker and gave life to my penguin by gluing his white belly and face, the beak, a pair of googly eyes and his feet, the scarf from Fall Mug Additions, black glittery heart cheeks from Valentine Bucket Additions, a cute hat from Penguin Holder, and finally I applied glossy accents to the beak and feet to make them super shiny.

Next I stuck everything to my Snowflake panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, starting with the Snowy Hills Border, next some Winter Trees on each side, my cute Penguin Shaker, and then a couple more trees.

For the greeting, I used stamps from Let it snow. I white heat embossed "Snow" on dark grey cardstock and cut it with the matching die. I embossed in silver "glad we're friends" on white cardstock, cut it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and then attached both pieces to my card using small pieces of foam squares. And finally, I added a snowflake confetti from the Winter Wonderland mix at the top of each tree.
