I know, I know... I've been a bad blogger and it's been over a week
since my last post! The good news is I have been busy busy busy and
have lots to show you but am going to spread everything out through the
week! :)
Now about that Penguin Party... These Penguins are all from Memory
Box's summer release 2007; I pulled them out to play while I waited for
the new Penguins (18 of them!!) to arrive at Scraptasia
(my lss). I also needed to make a couple samples to show some Masking
techniques so I played around a bit and these cards are what I ended up
with, love that hula penguin!! lol!! Since the making of these cards,
the new Penguins have safely arrived at Scraptasia (and flying out the
door very quickly), so watch for more Penguin cards in the next week or
so - need to make up some samples for a Penguin card class I am
teaching on July 10th. Ok, on to the cards... (remember - you can click on any picture to enlarge it)
Party Time!!
I stamped and masked the penguin, then stamped the rope across to make it look like it's standing on the rope.
Supplies:
Cardstock: BoBunny and Bazzill
Stamps: Penguin,
Margarita and sentiment from Memory Box, rope from Crafty Secrets
colored with Copic Markers and a little added bling with some Star Dust
Stickles by Ranger.
Happy Summer
I stamped three squares on white cardstock, masked off the area around outside of the boxes and stamped the different penguins (wouldn't these three squares also be cute as Inchies?!?). Then I masked the inside of the square to cover up the penguins and stamped the sun all around.
Supplies
Cardstock: Bazzill, Papercuts (white)
Stamps: Square outline stamp-Stamps by Judith; all other stamps from Memory Box
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, VersaMark, Ranger Sea Brights (now called Adirondack)
Colored with Copic markers, Ribbon from ribbon stash.
Let's Catch Up!
This is just a silly card, it probably would have been more appropriate to have the Scuba Penguin looking out of a bubble or something - but a jar?!? But hey, since you really don't see penguins that scuba I don't see why he can't be in a jar! lol!! I actually hadn't planned to make this little card, I was just playing around with the jar stamp and one thing led to another... used up some scraps.

Supplies
Cardstock: Bazzill and Papercut
Stamps: Jar from Stamps by Judith; all other stamps from Memory Box
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Ranger Sea Brights in Pool (I think).
Colored with Copic markers.
And the last one... Best of the Bunch
I stamped the Penguin, masked it and then stamped the flower stand twice. I thought I put this aside to dry after applying Stickles for a little bling but it had a run in with another card, the stickles smeared and it was too late to wipe them off so pardon the smear. I was trying to show a masking technique and it still served it's purpose. :)

Supplies
Cardstock: Bazzil, Papercut
Stamps: big flower used for background from Hero Arts; all other stamps by Memory Box.
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark
Colored with Copic markers and added Star Dust Stickles by Ranger Ink to the flowers.
Ok, so a long post today to make up for being absent the last week. I hope you enjoy the Penguin party and Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great week!
