How to

First I cut the shape with the cutting die “Sewn rectangles” using the largest one available. Then, using the ink applicator and the tumbled glass ink I created the blue sky, then I stamped 4 snowflakes with the embossing ink pad, and then applying the white embossing powder removing the one in excess and using the gun to emboss it. I then used the stitched window of Mft die set, on a red paper, printing then the wish and embossing it with the gun.

Next, I cut the hill on the background on a white paper.

In the meantime, I printed the family portrait with the deer and the penguin. Once printed, I started coloring them with alcohol markers.

Once the molds were colored, I cut them by hand using a scissor.

In the final stage I assembled the card putting in pop-up the penguin and the deer, while the rest is glued with vinavil.

I completed the postcard with a round stamp on the back saying “Handmade with ”.
