Freshly Made Penguin Pals

Hi friends!  As we wrap up the second Sale-A-Bration of the year, this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge had me reaching for my favorite Sale-A-Bration DSP.

Penguin Playmates DSP is the cutest and oh-so-perfect for the fussy cutting crafters, like me!   After die-cutting a couple stripes and polkadots circles, I added these playful little fussy-cut pals.  The soft pine tree pattern of DSP made for the perfect background too!

Be Cool, Be Chill, Be Merry

I love this cheerful sentiment, which is perfect to go along with all of the wintery fun critters.  I love the little bits of glitter in the Opal Rounds, which reminded me a bit of snowballs.  Cute, right?!?!

I may have hoarded a couple packs of this DSP to make some more winter-fun holiday cards!  Sale-A-Bration may be coming to an end, but this adorable dSP isn't going to be leaving my craft room anytime soon!

Happy Stamping!

Penguin Party

 It's time to party like penguins! Have you ever seen how playful penguins can be?  They are the cutest!

Penguin Place is a new Mini Catalog stamp set that has a coordinating Penguin punch.   It is absolutely adorable!  And what makes it even more adorable?  Coordinating Penguin Playmates that you can earn for FREE from the Sale-a-Bration Catalog!!!

This stamp set is full of winter fun images to dress your penguins up, but it also has some images that can be used for a summer birthday card too!

I stamped and punched out two of the penguins, adding some cute little beaks and happy feet.  I even added a little bowtie on one...LOVE!  

I heat embossed the sentiments, cutting Happy Birthday with the Layering Circle dies and die-cutting To The Coolest Friend Ever.  My youngest son loves this sentiment and can't wait to make his best buddies some cards!

Can we talk about how cute these little feet are?!?!  The movie Happy Feet was playing in my mind as I stamped these tiny little penguin toes!

Today's card was inspired by the latest Freshly Made Sketches, but as you can see I kind of strayed away a bit with my penguins.  That's the joy of a sketch...it can give you a starting point, but you may end up with a different finished project.
