Hi, crafty friends. I thought I’d continue my little Christmas in July with another holiday card today. This time I’ve used the adorable penguins in the Santa and Friends stamp set from Lili of the Valley.

I stamped three of the little penguins using Extreme Black ink from My Favorite Things, colored them all in using my Copics, then restamped using Obsidian ink from Altenew, which is a pigment ink that stamps extra crisp and extra dark to bring the details of the linework back in.

Onto a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped a sentiment from the Mini messages stamp set from Mama Elephant using Hunter Green ink from Altenew.

Using the Circle Frames die from Avery Elle, I die cut the openings from Evergreen cardstock from Concord & 9th. I also die cut a few panels from white cardstock to layer behind the green, so my penguins would be recessed a little bit.

Using the Snowflake Confetti Fancy die from Hero Arts, I die cut a bunch of snowflakes from white cardstock (Stamper’s Select White from Papertrey Ink, which I also used for my card base) that I adhered around my circle openings to draw the eyes in toward those cute penguins and the sentiment. Easy peasy card, right?

Quick and easy peasy to color too.
