Warmest Wishes Cocoa Penguin

Hi Crafty Friends,
This festive tag is full of cozy Christmas charm with the sweet Poppy Stamps Coffee Penguin, Poppy Stamps Nordic Cocoa Cup and warm “Warmest Wishes” sentiment. I love the classic red, kraft, and white combo featured on the Poppy Stamps Scalloped Framer Tag Dies and twine bow for a simple handmade holiday look.

I started my tag by creating the penguins out of black and white card stock then making the little coffee cups with kraft and white. I put one of the coffee cups in the penguin's hand.

Next, I mounted the penguin on the tag with the nordic cocoa mug so that this tag is full of coffee and cocoa.

I finished my tag with the Poppy Stamps Merry Christmas Fluffy Script Die and a piece of twine for a bow on top.

56 Years of Love: A Card Inspired by My Parents Wedding Day

Hi Crafty Friends,
Today is a very special day, my parents are celebrating 56 wonderful years of marriage! To honor their anniversary, I created this card inspired by one of my favorite photos from their wedding day. I colored the sweet Lili of the Valley Raise a Glass Wedding Couple to honor their wedding day. I paired with Thermoweb Color Harmony Shades of Gold foiling on Thermoweb Toner Card Fronts Fresh Floral with a  soft yellow background, and a heartfelt anniversary sentiment, this card celebrates not only the day they were married, but the incredible life they've built together over the past 56 years.

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! Here's to a love story that continues to inspire our family every single day.

I created my background by using Distress Oxide Mustard Seed Ink on the Thermoweb Toner Card Front then using a microfiber cloth to get the ink off the floral toner bits. Next, I ran the card front through my Gina K Fuse Laminating Machine with a sheet of gold Thermoweb DecoFoil from the Color Harmony Shades of Gold.

I used Thermoweb 3D Foam Squares to to make the couple pops from the heart background.
