How is your week going? I know lots of people are on Half Term holidays this week. Our drive is very nearly finished. I must say it is looking very good it is a shame about the rest of the house. Oh well we will just have to save for the next job to be done.
I had a bit of a walk yesterday and I had every intention of being good but I just couldn't resist the Snowflake Penguins die set that came with issue 152 of Papercraft Essentials magazine. When I had finished the card I had been asked to make for a 90th birthday, I had a little play.
I used some glitter card to make one of the mats and I embossed the top mat with the Falling Snow Embossing folder from Creative Expressions. I added a line of ribbon.
The penguin, the baby penguin, the fish and a piece of holly come in the die set. I flipped the one of the penguin die cuts so the adults could face each other. The blue snowflakes in the background were cut with the penguin.
I will be making some more cards with this die set our family is rather fond of penguins.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
I would like to enter challenge 40 at the Merry Christmas Challenge blog.
Happy Crafting.

Brilliant card Jackie, these dies are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI always think house DIY is a bit like painting the Forth road brigde, everytime you do something it makes the rest of the house look in need of repair.
