Hi friends,

Whew! I made it! Only a few days left in September, but I managed to get my monthly Christmas card created. 🙂

I create a Christmas card design each month and then make 4-6 cards of that design. You can find my other monthly designs in these posts: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, and August.

This month’s card was created using the Arctic Joyride stamp set from Unity Stamp Company. I’ll admit that for some reason I wasn’t feeling too inspired this month, but I ended up really liking how this card turned out. 🙂

I used the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 49 as my jumping off point for my card design. I stamped the penguin image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and colored it with these Copic markers: B41, B45, B0000, YR21, YR23, YR65, C0. Then I die cut around it using a 3-inch circle die.

I stamped the sentiment with black ink on gold card stock and die cut around it using these Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies. My sentiment stamp is discontinued, use any of your favorite sentiments from your collection.

I embossed a piece of lightly patterned blue paper with a snowflake embossing folder (this is similar) and attached it to a white card. I added a strip of white card stock cut at an angle and embossed with a dot embossing folder. The penguin and the sentiment are attached to the card with foam tape.

I’m so glad that I continued working on this card – this little penguin is so sweet and I really like the finished card! 🐧
