Jayne: There are so many beautiful products in the new catalog, I couldn't resist combining several stamp sets and a few dies on a holiday card. To make this card, I started by creating a blocked background with traditional holiday colors. I die cut a total of eight rectangles with a small Rectangle Infinity Die - two each from pine, grass, celadon and punch layering papers. I secured the rectangles to a trimmed piece of white cardstock that I matted with punch layering paper and then secured to a pine card base. I also embossed three snowflakes, from the Color Layering Baby Penguin set, onto two corners of the blocked background.
To create the adorable penguin image, I stamped each of the three layers of the Color Layering Baby Penguin onto a piece of white cardstock with the three inks in the Ink & Emboss Penguin set (Soft Granite, Charcoal, and Black), carefully aligning each stamp over the previously stamped layer. Then, using the first penguin stamp layer, I stamped over the penguin image with VersaMark ink and embossed it with Sparkle embossing powder. I easily cut around the image with the Color Layering Penguin Frame Cuts. Next, I secured the penguin to a vellum snowflake that I die cut with one of the new Snowflake Infinity Dies and then secured the snowflake to the card with foam tape.
I added a draped sentiment banner that I embossed and die cut with stamps and dies from the versatile Christmas Banner Stamp & Cut set. I also stamped and die cut three small doves that I secured to the card below and at each end of the banner. For a few finishing details, I added several clear gemstones and a lengthy, red bow. Have fun hopping!

I Love penguin and this is the best penguin stamp I have seen
I looked at them all and enjoyed everyone so much. Learned new things to do and of course it just makes me want them all. All of u did a wonderful job on selecting the cards u did. Pat yourselves on your back because I am not there to do it for me.
Love love love this baby penguin! He’s gorgeous, and it won’t be long before I’m buying him! Great card, the colour blocking idea works great and the banners are spectacular.
