Holiday Cheer

  Back in my happy place this week making Christmas cards. I have a lot of friends and family who love penguins and High Hopes has so many adorable penguin stamps it is hard to choose which one to use. This week I decided Penguin Family is perfect for one of the penguin lovers on my card list......how cute is this family!

I coloured up this adorable family with Copic markers. I cut down the sides of paper and then traced the edge of a die to create the border at the bottom and cut it with a pair of scissors. I did the same for the card stock behind it but decided to off set it for a different look. Next I cut patterned paper from Echo Park to fit my card base and added a small strip at the top to add some interest. The sentiment was masked off from a larger sentiment, stamped, cut and mounted on matching card stock. To finish off my card I added some twine, a snow flake, enamel dots and Star Dust Stickles to the hats and ear muffs.

Hi HH Fans!

For today's "Christmas in July" post,  I am sharing with you a little gift set I made using the adorable "Penguin Family".

I love this little family and thought they would be super cute paired with the Winter wonderland Background stamp. I used my MISTI to create the scene, which worked super easy! I also added the High Hopes "Think Snow" sentiment on the front of my card. When I coloured the trees I left a bit uncoloured so that I could add some White Wink of Stella to make it look like snow on the branches. A bow with a candy gem finished off my card.

On the inside, more of the matching papers and a sentiment called "Holiday All Year".

The little Kraft Paper bag is a Dollar Store find and I just added paper to match from the Echo Park Tis The Season 6x6 collection. I tied a bunch of ribbon on the side for a fun embellishment.

In the bag you could put a small present or gift card but I made a small magnet for fun out of the same image! I recently purchased the Xyron Creative Station Lite, which has a laminate/ magnetic combo rather than just adhesive. Super cool and a fun way to make something different with your stamps!

Copics Used:

Penguin: C1, C4, C6, C8/ YR14, YR18

Sleigh: E43, E44, Gold Wink of Stella

Skates: C1, Silver Wink of Stella

Trees: YG93, YG95, YG97, YG99, White Wink of Stella

Snowflakes and ground: B0000, B000, B00
