Friday Share

I was able to sneak in some play time last night while the baby was napping so I started working on Christmas cards. While I was looking for Perky Penguins I came across Joy of Christmas. I've been dying to use this set so I think I'm going to use it instead. I chose Penelope as my paper choice. Here's my first version.





I'd like to add some ribbon and some dimension so I'm thinking of cutting out the Christmas tree and using pop dots on the patterned paper. It's missing some glitz so I'm going to order some Transcendence Embossing Powder. I'll use it on the Christmas tree. I'm thinking of using some bling for the star as well. I'm hoping to get back to them tonight or Saturday and I'll share the results.

Thanks for looking, have a great weekend!

Perky Penguins

When I bought this set, I had every intention of using it for my Christmas cards that year. I think I've had it for over two years. Yikes! Today I went through all my stamps to pick out a stamp set to use for my Christmas cards this year. I really want to use Perky Penguins this year.

Now to determine a color combo to use it with. Of course red was the first thought I had, but red & gold is a typical Christmas color combo as is blue and silver, which was my second thought. I thought of red and blue but it'd probably end up red, white and blue. I want to use something a little less traditonal, but not too wild that just doesn't seem Christmasy, but every time I start thinking of other colors I think it's too wild.

I have a ton of Christmas cards to make so I hope to start on them soon. I always pick my stamp set first, so I can check that off my list. Now to determine the color scheme...

Have any color combos to share? Leave me a comment.

Thanks!
