Hi friends,

It’s time to share my inspiration for a monthly Christmas card. 🎄 I’m creating a new design each month and making a few cards in that design so I’m ready to send them all out in December. You can find other cards for this year in these posts – January and February.

I used the penguin from the Bring on the Fun stamp set from Unity Stamp Company to make this month’s card. This little guy is so cute – he just makes me smile! 😊

I used sketch #31 from Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers as my inspiration for the layout for my card.

I stamped the penguin with Memento Tuxedo Blank ink on white card stock and colored him with Copic markers. Using the Scallops & Circles Nesting Dies from Unity Stamp Company, I die cut around the image.

I embossed a piece of white card stock and attached it to a white card. This particular embossing folder is no longer available, but you can find some great ones at Taylored Expressions – or use your favorite one from your collection. I attached 2 different patterned papers to the card and then attached the penguin image with foam tape. I stamped “Merry Merry” with green ink on white card stock and punched it with a label punch. I attached it to the card, overlapping the circle, with foam tape. I’m not sure where the stamp is from (I’ve had it forever and there’s no label on it 🤷🏼‍♀️) and the punch is an old one from Stampin’ Up. You can use your favorite sentiment and punch or die to make the sentiment for your card. Or you can use the “Oh What Fun!” stamp that is part of the penguin stamp set.

Are you joining me in creating a stash of Christmas cards throughout the year? I would love to see your creations! 🎄
