A Little Christmas Coffee and Cocoa

Hi Crafty Friends,
I’m sharing two festive cards featuring the Special Delivery 2026 Stamp Set from Scrap Diva Designs! 
For the first card, I went with a classic black-and-white Christmas look, featuring the North Pole Brewing Co. sentiment and lots of snowy details. For the second, I switched to a sweeter color palette with pinks, reds, and aqua, creating a cozy hot chocolate theme complete with marshmallows! 
Both cards feature the Scrap Diva Designs 6x6 Scalloped Square Nesting Die Set, which adds the perfect decorative border to each design. Use my links to shop and get 10% off with Code: MEGHANKENNIHAN

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Which one is your favorite the North Pole Brewing Co. or the Hot Chocolate Christmas Blend?
A: Me? I like the brewing co. one because masculine cards are always hard to make




 



 

Waddling into Christmas

Hi Crafty Friends,
These adorable penguins are ready to waddle their way into the holiday season! Poppy Stamps Santa Penguin, Coffee Penguin, and Snow Angel Penguin Dies come together to create the sweetest winter card filled with festive fun. I made a playful stenciled Santa Hat background so match the star of the card Santa Penguin.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What other hats would you like to see for the Poppy Stamps Penguins?
A: Me? Winter Cap with a pom pom would be cute 

Step #1: I started my card by creating all my penguins out of black, white, and red cardstock. Then, I added little pink cheeks to each and highlighted them with white pen.



Step #2: I created the Santa Hat Background with a stencil and Distress Oxide Inks. Then, I splattered it with red and white ink. I finished my card by lining up my penguins one on top of the other vertically down the middle.
