A while ago, I bought this stamp set from Craftemotions. It is the stamp set from Carla Creaties namely Penguin 2. I kept not getting around to using this set, and now I finally managed to do so. Aren’t this cute penguins perfect for a card in a box?

I think so, let’s get into it.

Measurements of this penguin card in a box

For this card in a box you need an A4 paper and cut it in half on the short side. You will have then a piece measuring 29,7 centimeters by 10,5 centimeters.
Score your paper at the long side at 10 cm, 14cm, 24cm and 28cm. Score at the short side at 5,5 cm.
At 24 cm you remove the entire corner at the top.
You remove the corner till 14 centimeters at the top.

Your paper will look like this:

Now you can fold this to a card box. The flap on the top is the back.

Now you will need some different pieces of white card stock.
For the first white layers:
- A piece measuring 9,5 centimeters by 5 centimeters.
- 2 pieces measuring 3,5 centimeters by 5 centimeters.
- A piece measuring 10 centimeters by 5 centimeters.
Pieces of white paper to make your background on:
- A piece measuring 9 centimeters by 4,5 centimeters.
- 2 pieces measuring 3 centimeters by 4,5 centimeters.
- A piece measuring 9,5 centimeters by 4,5 centimeter
2 pieces of white card stock to die-cut snow hills from. They must be strips from 12 centimeters. Score at each side at 1 cm.

Stamping and coloring of the penguins

I stamps the penguins on some DCP paper. I color them with my alcohol markers.

I used the following color combinations:

Penguin: Black (120), Cool Grey (8), Cool Grey 5 (CG5), and Cool Grey 4 (CG4).
Beaks: Amber (266), Dark Yellow (31) and Deep Yellow.
Hats: Teal Blue (184), Mint Macaron (181) and Aqua mint (179).
Snow: Cool Shadow (178).

Making the backgrounds

Now you need the pieces of papers to make the background on. I decided to make a blue background, with the darkest color on top and the lightest on the bottom.

I used my chalked ink for that. I used the following colors.

Noble blue (29)
Blue Berry (78)
Cookie Monster (79)
Pastel blue (66)

To give the background a snowy look, I applied some white paint splatters.

Making the snow hills.

The dies I used are actually meant to make waves with, but you can also use them perfectly well to make snow hills. You can cut them at 12 cm. You score at each side on 1 centimeter. Now you can apply this snow hills in your card in a box. Put some adhesive on the flaps and glue them down on the inside of the box.

Sentiments

I used two sentiments from the set. I stamped them with my black memento ink. I like to use to use two sentiment on the card in a box. The first sentiment I place on the background piece and a sentiment on the front.
