Arctic Christmas Friends

 Hello Everyone, 

For today I am playing along with Cupcake Inspirations and Animal Friends Challenges. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

This scene is actually designer paper from a paper pad set.
I decided to Christmas it up a bit by adding Christmas elements- Santa hats, the present, trees, lights, Christmas star, and sentiment. The elements consisted of an assortment of stamps in my stash. I had to keep the scale similar to the existing scene. This meant I had to be very selective on what stamps to use. I made it for my former boss, now a friend, at Michaels Craft Stores. The paper pad is from one of their signature brands of paper pads. 

Above: The slimline card gives the look of a full panoramic view of the arctic. Left/Below: The penguin has decorated its ice-pad with glittery lights that were stamped and colored using a glitter pen. The present was also stamped and fussy cut. Right/Bottom: I think these polar bears are the best! Their Santa hats were added using an assortment of stamps. I placed the hats on their heads by using dimensional adhesive.

Heartfelt Penguins

 Hello All,

For today I am playing along with Cupcake Inspirations, Animal Friends, and Male Room Challenges. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

CAS design card for my son to write his birthday thank you notes.

The snowflake was die-cut from an older SU stamp and die set. The gray scene and border of the card are actually two different pieces of cardstock. It gave me the freedom to move the penguin scene around to get just the right placement.

I stamped the penguins on gray cardstock and colored them using Prismacolor pencils. I then die-cut the little stars for a night scene.

My son had to write thank you notes after his birthday. So I thought to use his favorite animal, the penguin, for the central image of this card.

Arachnid Shaker

 Hello Again! 

For today I will be playing along with The Color Throwdown and Animal Friends Challenge. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

The card started with a white cardstock base. I had this cute and very neglected washi tape to use as a stripey backdrop. Added a black frame, acetate, and spider. I propped it up using some dimension tape and inserted some sequins to finish it off. 

I decided to leave the card sentiment-less.
Well not really the washi tape did the job for me.

The spider was an adhesive precut die so it was as easy as peeling off the backing off the spider and sticking him on the card.
