This is my sad attempt at the TLC today. I've made similar cards before with pop-up candles in a cake, but I haven't been feeling the best this last week, and my imagination is at a low ebb. I need to get my September Christmas cards done before we go on holidays next week, so I went Arctic and simple.
Cardstock is Bazzill, images stamped on Bristol Board. All stamps are Starving Artistamps. I stamped the glaciers onto the base with Brilliance Blue and embossed with Iridescent Ice. The whole igloo was Versamarked and embossed with Iridescent Ice. Penguins coloured with H2Os. I added tiny little punched snowflakes with Liquid Pearl centres to make a snow *meadow*. I used various ColorBox inks DTP to make my Northern Lights in the sky.
Front is white card embossed with snowflakes, blue panel and image (coloured with H20s) cut with Labels 8. Stickles on the fur trim, Polar White Flower Soft under her feet. Tiny pearls on her shoes and Dew Drops on the Labels. CAS in as much as a technique like this can be.
I'd like to try this again when I have more time and energy - love pop-up style cards.

Well if your sick and you don't think this is cute your not in your right mind. LOL I think you did a great job is very cute. I for one have never see the pop up cards before.
So I have not made one. But that is going to change fast. I love your card. I do hope your better soon. But don't get to well if this is the kind of card you make being sick. Ha Ha.

I think you've done a wonderful job with this card!!! It is so cute!! I love those little penguins. Thanks for sharing it with us. If you noticed, I didn't even attempt this. You did great, and I hope your vacation/holiday is nice. :>)
I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well but it certainly doesn't show in your project. This is precious and I especially love your cold wintery blue background.

This is a really nice card. Very cute and caught my eye right away. Nice job! TFS! Thanks for the comment on my card. Glad you liked it even if the image is not your thing. I'll take that as a compliment.

This is definitely NOT a sad attempt - I LOVE it. It is so adorable, those little penguins made me smile and the style of card and your choice of colours is absolutely perfect - beautiful!
