Stay Cool!

Hi everybody! Happy Sunday! It's two weeks before Christmas! EEEKS! And today is my husband's birthday so we've been celebrating all weekend! I made his favorite meal this morning (affectionately called BIG breakfast) and now we are in a food coma watching football. Buddy is snoozing in front of the window. It's nice and foggy. Life is good. Tonight my friend Shauna and I will go out for dinner and to the amazing Christmas concert at church. It's our annual girls night out tradition for the holidays. Friday the hubs and I spent all day in San Francisco going to museums, taking pictures, shopping and enjoying the holiday sights and sounds. Carolers and ice skaters, and busy shoppers, and so many beautiful decorations. It's pure magic and I feel so lucky that we live close to a world class city like San Francisco, and we can go any time we like. I am winding down on making holiday projects and thinking about putting away all the Christmas crafting stuff. My studio is a mess, like Christmas blew up in here! LOL. Time to move on to winter and Valentine's Day cards now! 

I did my 2016 CRAFTY TOP TEN list a little bit ago, and the stamp set I'm using today is one of the things on my favorites list! CUTEST penguins ever in the Chill Wishes stamp set from My Favorite Things. I had so much fun coloring these guys with my Copic Markers! Then I added bits of glitter here and there. This would be a fun Winter greeting or Winter birthday card for someone special. They kinda crack me up. My favorite is the skier one! 

I made my card base out of gingham paper (from Amuse stamps) and then used that pretty blue shade from the paper as one of my main card colors. I stamped and die cut the penguins and trees and then colored them with Copic Markers. I die cut a stitched rectangle and a stitched slope from two die sets from SSS (Supplies listed below) to make the setting for these funny guys. I stamped little snowflakes on the white pieces and also stamped my sentiment in the corner of the slope.

I used Copic Opaque White to add white highlights over my Copic Coloring. Then I used Hero Arts Prisma Glitter and a Quickie glue pen to add glitter accents. 

All of the pieces are attached to the card using foam tape for dimension. I put the trees behind the penguins to make it look like they just stopped on the ski slope! LOL. Seriously. So adorable. Stay cool my friends!!

Thanks for popping by here today! I'm waiting for LOTS of stamps to arrive in the mail and hopefully they make it in time! EEK. I have three blog posts to do for next week, and no stamps yet! Wish me luck! Hope you have a fantastic week ahead. Love you. Bye! XOXOXO
