Penguin & Snowballs

This is a 5"x5" card, made from white cardstock. I cut some patterned paper from DCWV's Peppermint Forest Stack at 4 7/8"x4 7/8" and layered it on the card base. The three large snowflakes on the left side are cut at 1 1/2" from Home Accents. I used some dark blue shimmery cardstock for the shadow and white cardstock for the regular snowflake. I cut a piece of teal paper at 3"x3" and embossed it with the Snowflakes folder and then I sanded it to reveal its white core. I used a black pen to add some faux stitching and foam tape to adhere the teal square onto the card. I cut the penguin from Simply Charmed at 2 1/2." The small snowflakes are cut from Speaking of Winter and using the same shimmery blue cardstock for the shadow and white cardstock for the regular snowflake. I then used dimamond Stickles on the white to make the snowflakes shimmer. I made of stack of snowballs out of flat-backed pearls and made a little sign for the pile with a toothpick and some white cardstock. I handwrote the sentiment.

I made this card for the following challenges:

Classmate Christmas Cards

Holy alliteration Batman!! I didn't really intend to go for the all "c" title, but I think it works. ;) Since my first Christmas card in my personal challenge was from a classmates cartridge I thought I would show off the the rest of the cards I made using the other classmates cartridges I own.
I don't own too many classmates cartridges, mostly because I'm not a teacher, so I don't really need them. I do, however, have a few because they are good fonts. The card on the left is using Speaking of Winter. I made it a 5"x7" card, but I don't remember what size I cut the letters. The snowflake in the corner is a dimesional sticker. The paper is all Debbie Mumm and the ribbon is from my stash. I added some Stickles to each letter for some glitter. The card on the top right is using Printing 101. This card is 4 1/2x6 1/4." I used a green cardstock for the base card, then covered it with the patterned papers. I folded down the top right corner so you could see a glimpse of the double sided paper. I added some buttons tied with fiber to help hold down the folded corner and a ribbon from my stash. The "JOY" is cut from Printing 101 at 1" (I believe). The last card, on the bottom right, was made using Cursive 101. The card is a pre-made A2 card. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and then sanded the top of the embossing to expose the white core. I then used my Gypsy to weld the letters from Cursive 101 for my sentiment. This was a super simple one, but I liked the embossing so much I didn't want to detract from that. Hope you enjoy these and stay tuned for more!!
