Penguins in the Snow

The clever Jules regularly features in Quick Cards Made Easy magazine and this time around she has featured Christmas cards with some really cute penguin digital stamps.  I just couldn't resist CASEing one of her cards - not exactly the same as hers but fairly close.  If you visit her blog you will see that she also shows a card with foiling which was another article in the magazine.

I printed some snowy background paper and also resized some of the penguin images to fit with the size of the stamped jar - I'm not sure it would have occurred to me to use this set of stamps for Christmas but having seen the article there are lots of possibilities and I will probably try a few more while the stamps are on my desk.  The penguins were coloured with pencils and cut out with scissors as were the trees (also a digital stamp), the jar was die cut.  The snowy ground was a torn piece of card to which I've added some glitter.  A stamped banner sentiment and with some time spent assembling the components I have another card for the Christmas collection.  I'm actually fairly well stocked with seasonal cards for a change - usually they are a last minute job!!  Back to playing with the jar stamp set now and of course some more cute penguins.
