KinderStampO Theme-spired Saturday

Happy Saturday everyone. How is everyone's New Year starting out?? Super I hope. Today I am posting for the first time as a KinderStampO Guest Design Team member on their Theme -Spired Saturday. it is all about winter Couples.

My project for this challenge " Winter Couple" I decided to keep with the Penguins theme, I believe they mate for a lifetime, so that is a true Winter couple. I love the penguins from the Simply Charmed cartridge they are so adorable, especially with googley eyes.

With valentines day around the corner, I thought I would go with the hearts on my project and have light blue kind of indicative of ice and arctic for the penguins, not only that, I wanted to use the beautiful turquoise handmade mulberry roses from KinderStampO's store.

I used the Cricut's Close to my Heart cartridge Artiste to cut out this gift box at 5 inches. You can find the box in the book on page 40. I cut the penguins from Simply Charmed at 2 and 1/2 inches. The hearts were at 2 and 3/4 and 2 inches.

I chose the S.E.I. paper because the print on the side had all kinds of words, used with couples...Darling, Honey,Sweetie, Pumpkin, love and so on. I used the teardrop pearls beacuse they kinda gave the look of icicles hanging from the top.

On the cover of the gift box, I tied a knot in a piece of white thule and glued to box, inked a small heart,glued some of the mullberry roses on it and cut a piece of the Turquoise blossom trim and glued it to the side of the heart. I then decorated the back of the box, below...
