12 Days of Christmas--Day 9

/

Welcome to day 9 of 12 Days of Christmas! This also means we are over a week into December! Have you started mailing out holiday cards yet? I am happy to say that I have! Many more to hit the mail box, hand deliver, or add into my stampin’ friends product bags! So today I wanted to share a holiday card inspired by the Holiday Catty!

Isn’t this little penguin the cutest? I have loved stamping and creating with the Penguin Place stamp set for the last couple of holiday seasons. And I thought this card project of him floating on a block of ice was just too cute not to recreate!

I love how the Diorama Dies help create the illusion of floating ice. These dies are so fun and can be used in such unique ways. I still had a ton of the Sunshine & Rainbow Sale a bration DSP left so I used that as a layer between the die cuts.

I ran the ‘block’ of ice through the Painted Texture 3D folder to add the look of ice.

 

I added a little bit of snowflake stamping to the background and I stamped the sentiment out twice in two colors—Pool Party and Real Red. I then dissected it change the orientation of the stamp to fit the card design.

I love how the penguin is a mix of stamped and punched images too and the Adhesive Backed Stars were a perfect embellishment to add.

I am excited to see what Melanie is sharing today and I hope you have been enjoying our projects so far!
