Merry and Bright with the penguins by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

Are you ready for the holidays?  As for me, I'm working hard on some Christmas cards.  And today, I'm sharing a card using the mini Front and Backs Snowman & Penguins set (SKU# 4508).

I only used the front of the adorable penguins.  I colored them with Copic markers, then cut them with the Snowman & Penguin Mini die (SKU#4543).

Then adhered on to the card.  I figured it would be super fun to have a penguin tree!  :)

Copic markers used:  C1, C3, R14, R24, R27, R35, R37, R89, Y38

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Snowman & Penguin Mini front and Backs

Hello Ai Fans

Cheri here with my Thursday post for you! Today I made a project using the mini front and back Snowman & Penguin set ( SKU# 4508). These little minis are absolutely adorable and can be used in so many ways! I decided to show them in a card and using a tag.

Copics Used: (R24, R27, R29, G17, G19, YR07, C1, C3, C5)

The sentiments come in the set as well! You really need to head on over to the Ai store and see all the different sets of these mini front and backs, you'll love their versatility!

Happy stamping!
