Happy Brrr-day to you...

 

This is the second Penguin card I made for my eldest with his current penguin obsession.  It is a pretty straightforward as they are digital stamps.  I did color them myself and proceeded to make their feet black so had to paper piece them.  Not my best bit of work but I am pleased that I was able to put this together relatively quickly for me and learning how to work with digital images and merging them with sentiments too.

 

Ingredients

Card size 8.5 x 5.5

cardstock - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Smooth, printer paper

Stamps - Clear Dollar Stamps: Pal Penguins

Color - Copics

 

 



Snail mail... well that took its time...

I seem to have an uncanny knack for sending snail mail to my eldest for end of term that he then gets at the beginning of the next term.  Well at least he had some "fun post" waiting for him!  Rather funny that it ended up being this card!

 

I love this little stamp and I'm really missing my stamps ATM - been having to use all my time organizing a party but I'm planning some card making therapy for myself soon!

 

I have a couple of more cards to post when I get a round tuit, which may be after this weekend.  Just wanted everyone to know that I miss my cardmaking but sometimes needs must and we come back stronger - of course it doesn't help that before all the party planning I had stamp orders come in that are begging for ink!!!!  Just hope I don't lose my mojo when I finally have a few minutes to play.

From a Bunch of Nuts

 

This card was for my nephew's girlfriend.  I have yet to meet her - the disadvantages of living on different continents, however, I thought this was appropriately young and disparaging (on the inside it says from a bunch of nuts).  So hopefully she liked it and got a laugh.

 

I will be honest I like all the combinations but I think the image is too small for this size card.  It is hard at times to be a "Big Card" giver and love these cute little images.  I'm sure I will eventually work it out.
