Caroling Penguins

I was doing some on line shopping for Christmas presents last month and I came across this cute set, caroling penguins from North Coast Creations, they are just so cute and stamp up beautifully with my misti.

I have used the stitched squares from Elizabeth Craft Designs to create mats to show case these penguins.

Thanks for looking

Holding you close

Today's card is what I am calling a z fold card, I am sure there are other names out there as I have noticed this shaped card on many blogs. I thought it was perfect for this Art Impressions set, although you have a front and back image for spinner card, I chose just to use the front along with the sentiment for this card.

The card folds flat for posting.

Thanks for looking

Let it snow

My card today is a Christmas card using Stampendous stamp set featuring the snow globe and snowman and and Anita Frame die from Elizabeth Craft Designs 

Inside I have used the Anita Frames Pop up designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs 
Peel off stickers create a border on the edge of the designer paper and all the small dies come is the Anita die set. I have also added some more stampendous images.

Thanks for looking
