Cozy Penguin

Quick post since I have a lot of music to practice for tonight's chorus rehearsal! But yes, I have another card for the HeroFest Holiday Cheer Card Drive!! I'm up to 19 cards since the challenge was announced on the 6th so I'm building a nice stack to donate - yay! I'll enter this card in the Stay Crafty with a Blog Named Hero's October Challenge Merry Everything.


Supplies: Paper - Neenah white; TH kraft metallic; Authentique Cozy
Stamps - Hero Arts Merry Christmas Messages 
Stamp/Die Bundle - Cozy Penguin 
Dies - Sunny Studio Snowflake Circle Frame (snowflakes);
My Favorite Things Oval Shadows ("ice floe")
Other - Copic Markers; Michael's gems

This is my second penguin from the new Hero Arts stamp/die bundle called Cozy Penguin. If you missed the first one, you can see him in a shaker HERE. This time I colored my Penguin & assessories quickly with Copics. I still have more penguins and accessories for future cards - woo hoo! 

Coincidentally I chose Authentique papers from their Cozy 6x6 collection for my cozy penguin! My sentiment circle is upcycled from a previous card - my aunt likes to return cards I send her after she accumulates too many! I used a silver oval shadow as an ice floe to ground my penguin - love that die set from MFT as I often comment :) Things still looked a bit bare so I added some die cut snowflakes to echo the background - done!

What do you think of my new wooden Christmas tree tray for staging cards? Just bought it this morning in the Target "Hot Spot" ($1, $3, & $5 items). It was among the $5 items and there's also an ornament tray I might pick up next time - so cute! I'm still sad they no longer carry $3 paper pads and $1 stickers for holidays but luckily I still have some in the stash (surprised? not!)....

Thanks for stopping by & happy crafting!!
