SPEC-tacular Surprises with Sparkly Penguin

Hi Crafty Friends,
This adorable winter card features the Spectacular Christmas Dies from Spellbinders, with a cute penguin bundled up for the season. Sparkly snowflakes, glittery earmuffs and glasses, and a cozy cup make this little penguin ready for some snow much fun! The background is Therm O Web Toner Card Front Winter Sparkle with Therm O Web Gina K Designs Fancy Foil Transfers Blue Sky. Use my links above or below and Follow my Instagram @MadeByMeghanK for more!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What do you think is in Santa's gold bag?
A: Me? More cute glasses 

I created my fun foiled background by using Distress Oxide Savage Patina on the Thermoweb Toner Sheet then I took a microfiber cloth and rubbed the ink off the snow flakes. Next, I foiled it with my Thermoweb Gina K Fuse Foiling System Laminator.

I die cut my penguin from a variety of cardstock and glitter cardstock to match my snowflakes 

I glued her all together and mounted her at the bottom of my card. I stamped the sentiment on a little rectangle die and put it in the top left corner at an angle.

Heartfelt Wishes for a Beautiful Harvest Season!

Hi Crafty Friends,
This little pilgrim gnome is bringing all the cozy fall vibes!  I paired the adorable Unity Stamp Company Pilgrim Gnomies Stamp Set with foiled details and a bold orange background for a festive autumn card.  I used Therm O Web Forever Flannel Toner Card Fronts with Color Harmony Deco Foil in Shades of Orange to create the eye-catching plaid banner. The sentiment comes from the Therm O Web Autumn Vibes Sentiment Toner Card Fronts, adding the perfect finishing touch to this harvest-themed design.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

A: Me? Golden Yellow

Pumpkin Treat Box

Hi Crafty Friends,
This festive octagon treat box is dressed up in bright orange foil, spooky patterns, and plenty of Halloween personality! I used the Jaded Blossom Octagon Treat Box and Jaded Blossom Halloween Gnome Add Ons to create this treat box. For the foiled panels, I paired Therm O Web Halloween Mash Up Toner Card Fronts with Gina K. Designs Fancy Transfer Foil in Tangerine Twist for a bold, fiery orange shine. The Therm O Web Forever Flannel Toner Card Fronts got a coordinating touch of Deco Foil Transfer Sheets in Sparkling Cider, adding a warm metallic finish to the plaid.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q:  Would you fill this little treat box with chocolate, candy corn, or something else?
A: Chocolate probably Kit Kats
