Merry Penguins

 Hi,

On this week's episode of PTI's Video Series with Shauna Todd, Shauna created a gorgeous Christmas card using the new set "Into the Blooms Dahlia".  Our challenge is to create our own Merry Christmas card.  I came up with this:


I recently purchased this super cute penguin set from Papertrey Ink called "Winter Penguin".  The stamp set and die bundle are currently on sale at a great price, so pick yours up before they are all gone!  The word "Merry" is cut from PTI's "Wonderful Words:  Holiday Die Collection", and "Christmas" is from PTI's "Polka Dot Parade #9". 

Have a good night!

Birthday Blooms

 Hi,

I have one more card tonight. This card is for Papertrey Ink's "What Do I Do With This" challenge where we are to use Rainstones to add a natural water droplet look.  This card is similar to one I made a couple of months ago.  I used the leftover piece of card stock where I had previously cut out three rectangles.  


Blooms and vase are from Papertrey Ink's "Abundant Blooms", and sentiment is from PTI's "Songbirds".  I also used PTI's "Cover Plate: Ornate" for the background.

Have a great weekend!
