Christmas Penguin

Many apologies again that I can't keep up with everything currently - I am all too aware my blog updates never quite make it.

Not for lack of making things though.

I'm off to a Stampin' Up event tomorrow - not that I will be able to tell you about it immediately (we're off for some sneak peeks!) but I've made a name badge:


This chap is based on the owl badge I made for Telford earlier in the year as he was so successful.  This is the Christmas version!!

I've used the set Endless Wishes with Pear Pizzazz, Lost Lagoon and Pool Party.
A selection of punches too: Mini Star, Word Window, Modern Label, 1 3/8" Circle, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle, Owl Builder and Bird Builder!

This is a pile of owls destined for my swaps which I have now finished.  Picture to follow!

Owl badge

Hello - I have returned (and am still rather exhausted).

A quick post today just to share my name badge which I made to take to the Telford Stampin' Up training day yesterday.

The badges had to be no smaller than A7 size (mine is a teensy bit bigger) and have a hole punched for the lanyard we got on registration.

The base card is naturals white and has been overlaid with some baked brown sugar with the hardwood stamp stamped in early espresso.

I've used a circle punch & scallop circle punch to make the 'hole' for the very cute owl to peer out of - so cute!  His chest has a bit of in colour DSP.

I printed my name on the base card and have used the word window and modern label to make a window feature of this too.

Pistachio pudding leaves from the bird punch and some more gorgeous petite petals in crisp cantaloupe & strawberry slush - finished with pearls.

I was quite pleased with it and it's always nice when someone likes it so much they want to take a picture!

Loads more to share another day (what I am allowed to share anyway - I can't show you my lovely free gifts yet, hee hee).
