Make it Monday

with Playful Penguins

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to a new week of work and fun I hope. Today I'm sharing a couple of fun projects featuring the Playful Penguins stamp set by Stampin' Up! Whenever a new catalog comes out, many demonstrators participate in swaps. I recently got some of these swaps back from one I participated in and I wanted to share these cute cards.

This card was created by Ann Quattrin. I love the icy colors of this project. When you look up close at the penguin, it looks so cold and icy. This is because Ann used a combination of Shimmer Crystal Effects and Frost White Shimmer Paint. I love how the penguin is holding the garland of Snowflake Sequins. That was a lot of work to string those together. The is very cute!

Who doesn't love a pair of pails hanging out. This card was created by Roxie Geiser-Weaver. She mixed and matched our wonderful Wrapped in Plaid Specialty DSP. The added scarf and hat for the penguins is great! 

Another nice part of this set is the font of the sentiments. I love the easy cursive. The other thing that's great? Is that shadow stamp that you can put under the penguins. You see that in Roxie's card. It grounds the penguins. I love this. When I try and create my own shadows, I don't feel I do very well. 

Thanks again for stopping by today. I hope you have enjoyed the Playful Penguins projects. I will share more swaps with you. I like to show lots of ideas for 1 stamp set. Read on for a great promotion that is happening.
