I love penguin stuff & picked up the Roly Poly Penguins last year. I'm using them for the first time here. I stamped, die cut & colored 3 of the penguins, plus a couple of wrapped gifts & a Santa hat. The hat on the right hand penguin was part of the image. 

Next I trimmed a snowflake patterned paper to A2 size and adhered to an A2 card. Added a panel of white to the bottom, trimmed with glitter "icing". Added the penguins and gifts using foam tape. 

Next I die cut a glittery "greetings" plus a black shadow layer. Stamped and white embossed the word "holiday" and fussy cut. Added both to the card - done! Note - the stamp was "holidays" plural - I masked off the S to get the word I needed.

Since my penguins are newly used, I'll add my card to Darnell's March NBUS Challenge #72. I'll also play at Merry Little Christmas #61 where Anything Christmas Goes.

Ready for a bonus? Here's another Christmas card - this time featuring some peeking critters! Very quick and easy.

I used a different patterned paper from the same pad - love the bright colors. I die cut just the scalloped outline of the frilly frame set, plus some AJVD rectangles to go on top. Stamped, die cut & colored the kitties, plus the box with lid. Added the critters & box to the A2 panel with a "ground" of grey Copics. Stamped a sentiment from the critter stamp set. Die cut & assembled the bow & added everything to an A2 card.

That's it for today. Thanks for visiting & I hope you'll add your critters to our March Diva gallery!
