Christmas Penguins

I just received the cutest set of penguin dies and could not wait to make cards. The first card I made was a tri-fold Christmas card featuring all three of the penguin die cuts. They were easy to die cut and I really like how the card turned out.

The second card I made was using one penguin inside a wreath and adding a little bow, a candy cane and hot cocoa cup. I added a Merry Christmas sentiment below the wreath. I've decided this one will be my main card this year. So cute!

Sizzix Fold-A-Long Thinlits Fox

This card was fun. A new die to make a cute fox card arrived in my mailbox a few days ago. I couldn't wait to make a birthday card to go along with the fox minagerie I was giving my friend for her birthday.

I started with a rust orange colored card stock for the fox and die cut it out. I used a cream colored card stock for the die cut accents on the fox then die cut the eyes and nose out of black. For the inside message I die cut a smaller fox shape and stamped my greeting in brown. It turned out so well, I had to make a second one in brown.

I also purchased an Owl Fold-A-Long Card die, so will be starting those soon.

Fox Treat Box

I just love making these little FOX BOXES. One of my dear friends (who just had a birthday) collects foxes, so I thought a little fox box filled with candy would be a perfect gift. I started by making a pattern for the little bag/box and cutting them out of a red card stock. I had the pattern for the eye mask, ears and tail so cut them out and attached it to the box. I die cut two black circles for the eyes (adding a little white punched circle for the light reflection) and attached it to the eye mask. Lastly I stamped a sentiment on white and die cut it out with an oval shape (cutting the bottom off) and attached it to the bottom of the fox. I made the female fox a little shorter than the male and added a couple of small bows to her ears.
