Christmas Card ~ Skate Away With Me

As I mentioned on yesterday's post I have another idea 

 to share on how to use the pizza stamp in a different way.

Yup I used it and a little masking magic 

to create my figure eight skating rink or pond.

I wanted a to create place for these two friends to hang out.

I wanted my sentiment to math the penguins so I colored a piece 

of card stock, die cut it then cut it apart to fit my card.

*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.

*Penguins from the Winter Penguin stamp set from Lawn Fawn.
*Penguins cut using the Winter Penguin die set from Lawn Fawn.

Christmas Card ~ It's Snowing {1st Post}

I thought it would be fun to build a little snowman.

First I built my snowman using three bokeh circles.

Next I used one of the smaller ones to create his face.

I used a little heart for his nose and buttons.

I created the snowy hills and added the sentiment.

Then I scattered snowflake die cuts all around.

To finish off my card I added a few shiny rhinestones.
