Another Christmas in July Penguin Style

Double Trouble, Challenge #5, and Heart 2 Heart have joined together for a challenge. On Double Trouble, Thing one would like to see Christmas with a sentiment, Thing two would like us to link up with Heart 2 Heart, and Thing 3 would love to see a fun fold. Finally, Heart 2 Heart is a Christmas in July challenge. I knew I could do each of these in one card, even though it isn't necessary to do so.
The triangle card fold came from a tutorial on SplitCoast Stampers, The penguin and sentiment are from a Recollections set called Christmas. The fun red circular lined design is a stamp from Close to my Heart set My Sunshine. The red and black paper comes from a set Cartopia from Echo Park. (Okay, it's wheels, but I thought it looked like Christmas ornaments!)

On the inside, I used a Paper Smooches sentiment from Boxed Greetings with a matching die cut and some stamped stars from the same set.
Copic Colors Used

I also added lots of Nuvo Crystal Drops and some Tulip fabric "snow" to the hat.


Hope you'll join in on the fun for both of these groups! Thanks for your visit.

    1. I can only hope I can remember where I put this (for safe keeping, of course)when Christmas finally comes around. I have a grandniece who loves penguins too and this one is destined to go to her. I'm sure I will forget by then. Maybe I should send it to her now, LOL! Thanks, Janet!
