Quick and Easy Holiday Penguin Cards

Tuesday, December 15th, 2020

These fun Penguin Cards have a bit of a masculine feel and would perfect for the guys on your Holiday card list this year. The blue card is also a great Hanukkah card too. I used the Holiday Penguin stamps from My Favorite Things and colored them with Tri-Blend Markers for some quick and easy cards.

Naughty or Nice Christmas Cards

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2020

Either this dog and cat are being Nice and helping to decorate the Christmas Tree or being Naughty and pulling off ornaments, you decide 🙂

I combined three different stamp sets from My Favorite Things for these card and colored them with Tri-Blend Markers. I’ll also show you how to create a detailed wavy card band with dies or an easier diagonal band.

Flurries of Fun

A couple of weeks ago I shared a Bunny Winter Scene Card and decided to make 3 more cards using the same design but with different animals. I love using soft pastel colors for winter scenes.

I used the First Snow stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird to create this set of cute card for the Holidays. I colored my images with Tri-Blend Markers from Spectrum Noir.

Bunny Holiday Card

Using the new First Snow stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird I created this cute Holiday card. I wanted to use non-traditional colors so I went with a pinky-peach that I thought worked well with the bunnies. I colored my images in using Tri-Blend Markers from Spectrum Noir.

I know it’s a bit early for some to start thinking about the holidays but for stampers, card makers and crafters this is the time companies start releasing their new holiday products and it’s never too early to start working on your holiday crafts.

Yeti Holiday Card

To get in the mood for this frigid weather I made this adorable, abominable snowman card using stamps from Lawn Fawn.

Here’s how…..

Supplies- Light blue, pale blue, tan and white cardstocks; Lawn Fawn” Yeti” and “Critters in the Snow” (snowflakes) stamp sets; blue and black inks, jute string, alcohol markers, foam tape

– First cut a piece of light blue cardstock in half and fold for the card base

-Next cut a piece of white cardstock to 5 1/4″ x 4″ and cut a pale blue piece to 5″ long and using your scissors cut a wave shape across the top

– Next trim a tan piece of cardstock to 5″ x 3 3/4″ and randomly stamp snowflakes with blue ink. Tip: Place several clear snowflake stamps onto the same block to make stamping quicker. Next stamp the words in black.

– Adhere the tan piece of cardstock on top of the white then adhere the blue wave piece, wrap a 24″ piece of hemp string around the bottom, tie in a knot and fray the edges. Adhere this to the cardstock base.

– On white cardstock using black ink stamp the yeti and color with alcohol markers and cut out. Mount him to your card using foam tape.
