Christmas Dancin' Penguins

Coupling the latest sketch challenge from Christy over at The Paper Players. with Just Add Ink's theme challenge - Christmas in July. Tried the new to me Spellbinder Dancin' Penguin dies to make a couple Christmas cards for the stash. Embossed the white layer with one of my fave Sizzix snowflake embossing folders. Used more of my supplies from the vintage stash. Card Goal = 127 + 2 + 129 cards.

beary merry christmas...

Mission: Freshly Made Sketches' latest sketch challenge from Jen M... Inked up the Pooh Wreath..coloured and fussy cutted..sprinkled some red gems for the berries. Layered on a white speckled -red foil glimmer circle dut cut. Added the topper to the card with foam tape. Stamped the "beary merry christmas" sentiment with white embossing powder on black cardstock so that it would pop! Voila! Card goal = 126 + 1 = 127 cards.

Celebrate shakers...

Inspiration from the latest sketch challenge over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.. Found some more vintage pattern papers in the stash and upcycling more of the cellophane packaging..Celebrate flat shakers for the win. Shadowed the Celebrate sentiment to "pop" the sentiment on the card front. Flipped the sketch to vertical alignment to better showcase the sentiment. Entering these cards also into Love Those Pretty Papers challenge to help with my 2026 goal to put a serious dent into the vintage pattern paper trove of mine. Card goal = 123 + 3 = 126 cards.

Vintage Merry Snowmen...

Thought I would give Jen T's sketch a try over at Freshly Made Sketches. Started with the embossed snowflakes on the white layer. Inked, stamped and coloured the vintage snowman images..masked the snowman so I could sponge and soften the white sky - if that makes sense. Added some teeny iridescent snowflake sequins. Finished with framing the image. Added foam tape to the framed image and sentiment for more depth. Card Goal = 121 + 2 = 123.

Die cutted the snowflakes from a new to me Birch Press Design die. Finished a second card with the Waffle Design's Happy Holidays sentiment.. Voila! Card Goal = 119 + 2 = 121.
