Penguin Playmates To the Coolest Friend Ever & Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends!  It's time for our Stamping Symphony Blog Hop and this month we're featuring Sale-a-bration freebies!  I'm always excited to see what each hopper has created!

Here's my card!

I fell head over heels in love with the Penguin Playmates designer series paper!  It super duper cute and free during Sale-a-bration!  

The polar bear and penguin were an easy fussy cut - another reason to love this paper!  Both sides of the paper in the pack are pretty!  I love stripes so the Misty Moonlight & White paper resonated with me!

I did a little heat embossing for the sentiment, which is from Penguin Place

PENGUIN PLAYMATES DSP #158420

With this paper you can create wintery and Christmas cards with the 'penguin' side of the paper, and with the other side - the sky is the limit!

I started with a base of Misty Moonlight, then added a Basic White layer.  That layer was cut using the largest Layering Circles die, then embossed with the Stitched Greenery die.

For the tree, I used Christmas Trees dies, cutting in Silver Foil, and Basic White.  They looked a little plain so once I adhered those pieces together, I ran the tree through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine using the Tasteful Textile folder.  I l-o-v-e that folder!!  I added a few In Colour Jewels for decoration.

I'm delighted with this card!!  What do you think?  Cute?  Feel free to leave a comment!  And please be sure to keep hopping!

More Sneak Peeks Mini Catalogue & Sale-a-bration

Welcome Crafty Friends!  I have a confession to make.  I had planned on sharing the Sparkle of the Season bundle with you but couldn't stop stamping so I extended that share to include the Penguin Place bundle!  

Let's begin with the Sparkle of the Season bundle.  Upon first glance you might be thinking Christmas, fall, Halloween.  Me too, however I see even more possibilities!

The starry wreath reminded me of a mobile in a baby's room, and a baby card was born! 

All dimensions, names of inks/papers are given during my video tutorial (below)

I find it's the little touches that make a card like this so sweet!  The tiny bow with the rhinestone.  The embossing of the heart.  The softness of the Vellum Doily.  There's lots going on with my card, but by keeping the colour pallet simple, it just works!

Cute sets aren't my usual, but I couldn't resist the Penguin Place bundle!  

When you view my video, you'll see how all this came together.  Do be sure to watch to the end of the video as there are even more sneak peeks!!

So seriously, how cute is this penguin!  Other than the cuteness overload, I love the options: there's a balloon and birthday sentiment, cute greetings, a cute font, a bow tie, antlers, and so much more!  

Lately I've been quite smitten with non-traditional colours for Christmas cards. Fresh and pretty!  Don't get me wrong, I love traditional colours.
