Penguin Place Happy Day
July 23, 2021
Did you know that August 7 is National Lighthouse Day? I didn't. National Lighthouse Day is the festivity we are celebrating and is the inspiration behind the Inspo List. The Inspo List has 10 items on it and to play along with the Festive Friday Challenge you need to use at least 3 of the items on the list for your project. You can read all about the challenge HERE and how to play along.
I chose to use stars, blue, red, and metallic from the Inspo list for my card.
Are you wondering what does my card have to do with National Lighthouse Day? Not much but that is one of the unique features of the Festive Friday Challenge, you do not have incorporate the festivity into your project but you can if you want to. The main thing to remember is that you have to use 3 elements from the Inspo List.
The penguin is from the Penguin Place bundle (stamp set and punch)which will be available on August 1 and is in the July-December mini catalog. The balloon strings are also from the Penguin Place bundle. The star "balloons"and clouds were cut using the Give it a Whirl dies. The gold metallic happy was cut from the Brushed Metallic Cardstock (a returning favorite in the upcoming mini catalog) using the Christmas Cheer dies.
The colorful striped layer is from the Pattern Party DSP, a Stampin' Reward choice. The card base is Poppy Parade CS. Inside you can see a strip of DSP and some extra clouds and stars.
I hope you will participate and post a project in the Festive Friday gallery. We love seeing what you use from the Inspo list.
