It's beginning to feel a lot like winter in the Denver area! Snow this past week and continuing cold temperatures always put me in the mood to stay in where it's warm and make winter-themed cards. So this is the card we made at my table at Sassy Stampers Stamp Camp yesterday. (I love the rich winter colors, but sometimes I like to get away from them and make something more whimsical.)

• Use black ink to stamp penguin on scrap of white card stock; punch out with penguin punch and glue onto label. Punch feet from black card stock and apply to penguin with Black Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. Make small bow with silver trim and attach to penguin with glue dot. Adhere penguin to label with glue dots or liquid glue.
• Use foam tape or Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere label to card front over vellum.
• Apply self-adhesive stars randomly.
Inside
