Hello and welcome
Happy Boxing Day to you. I hope you enjoyed Christmas Day.
I love these Katzelkraft 'Grumpy Penguins' stamps and had fun using them on some Christmas cards. I had some long strips of white card left over from creating my own card blanks, so I stamped and coloured several penguins at once, then cut them all out to add to cards.
I just love that 'Bah Humbug' (need to get a stamp saying that!) expression on the penguin's face.

LEFT HAND CARD
I die-cut a snippet of white card with a Heffy Doodles "Stitched Rectangles" die and brushed Pool Party ink through an Aall & Create Stencil (Broken Circles #67) then ran it through my Big Shot inside an old Stampin' Up Snowy embossing folder. Next, I stamped, coloured and fussy-cut the penguin and adhered him to the card front with foam pads - did the same with the Ho Ho Ho sentiment. Glued on a snowflake snippet to finish!
RIGHT HAND CARD
I brushed Pool Party ink through my new Funky Fossil "Pebbles" stencil, direct to the card front. Next, I stamped, coloured and fussy-cut the penguin, adhering him to the card front with foam pads. The sentiment was stamped onto a snippet of white card then cut out and stuck to the card front with foam pads. Finally, I used three die-cut snowflakes from snippets, using dies from The Works.
HAPPY CRAFTING!
Great use of the odds and ends Sarn and I can tell you enjoyed using these Penguins, they are rather fun. Hope you had a good Christmas day.

Loving the Bah Humbug look on the penguin!! You could always print the words in a suitable size and cut them out to use if you can't find a suitable stamp.
ReplyDeleteAnd they are so very fabulous Sarn, especially mixed with your fave pool party.
ReplyDeleteHappy Boxing Day to you and your readers ... and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR
