Penny’s Guest-UnFROGettable

Hello friends!  Welcome to June!  The “lazy days” of Summer are here!  I’m hoping I can be lazy this Summer, but not sure about that! LOL

I’m very happy to share my project with you today as a guest design spot I won from challenge at Penny’s Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog!  This is a fortnight (bi-weekly) challenge starting today and the theme is always Anything Goes Using Paper!  Hope you will stop by the blog to see the team’s inspiration and play along!  Here’s the project I made for the challenge:

They gave me this super cute image called “Frogtini” by Pattie’s Creations to use, so I colored him up with Copics and added some stenciled waves at the bottom along with some blending of yellows and blues above him to create this relaxing scene.  I cut him out with a stitched circle die and layered him onto a silver mirror scalloped die cut circle.

I used a fun card sketch I found along with pulling some papers and a sentiment out from an older card kit I had in my stash to complete the card.  For the A2 sized top folding card base, I used a corner chomper to round the edges and then I used some more of the yellow ink over the background where the circle image was going to be for a bit of softness and color.

I embossed a strip of the silver mirror cardstock with a 3D embossing folder and rounded the edges of that strip along with the green paper strip to create my layout.  I popped up the circle image with foam tape over top.

Lastly, I white heat embossed the “unfrogettable” sentiment and cut it out with a coordinating die and placed it at the bottom of the circle with foam strips behind it.  I used the other part of the sentiment and stamped it directly above the frog’s head.

For some more finishing touches, I attached some green sequins, used a glitter brush pen for the frog’s sunglasses and covered the martini glass with Stardust Stickles along with some green Stickles for the centers of the green sequins.

  • Hope you’ve enjoyed my card today!  I had fun coloring him up!  Thanks so much for stopping in and I wish you a very hoppy and relaxing day!🐸

  11. What a delightful and fun creation! The Frogtini image is absolutely charming, and your coloring brings such life and personality to it. The layered elements, especially the silver mirror cardstock, add a touch of sophistication while keeping the playful vibe intact. The embossed details and sparkly sunglasses are perfect finishing touches that elevate the entire design. This card truly captures the joy and relaxation of summer—beautifully crafted!

  15. Pattie’s frog is fabulous (I used to be on her design team before I gave them all up), and you’ve colored him up perfectly with the glittery touches. I love that Unfrogettable die cut, too! Why are the first days of head-on summer so lazy? Heehee I’d never make it if I couldn’t go back into the a/c frequently! To think only 75+ years ago, everybody managed just fine without it, glad to be born when I was! It was always such a treat growing up to stand in front of a window unit and soak that cold air in, lol. XOX
