Snippets Challenge # 544

 I was asked by a friend if I would like to  adopt some pre-loved and fun grumpy penguin stamps and couldn't wait to use them to make this 'ho-ho-huddle' card for the current challenge in the Snippets Playground. I stamped them onto a snippet of white card, fussy cutting  the smallest one to layer up, adding a die cut Santa hat (also cut from snippets)  The background paper was another snippet left from a previous project.  A torn edge circle die was used to cut out the image and I finally cut the wording from a further snippet of the blue pearl card.  Everything here came from my snippets collection, apart from the card blank.

Pink Christmas

 I've made a pink Christmas card but would you believe I'm too late for the party at Jingle Belles where they were asking for pink cards in support of Breast Cancer Awareness which I thought continued until the end of the month.  However, it's Rudolph Days challenge also from today until the end of this month so I will be taking it there.  

I found this little Santa hiding in my pot of useful bits (he's been there since last year) so I decided it was time he was popped onto a card.  I printed a piece of snowflake paper in pink and trimmed it to fit the card, backing it with some silver mirri.  The slatted circle was also backed with pink and surrounded by a torn edge circular frame.  Final addition was a sentiment and a scattering of snowflakes.
