Christmas Card Making Starts In September!

Hello,

During the week I was shopping at my local supermarket when I noticed they had already begun to put out their Christmas stock! I couldn't believe it as it was only the first week of September!
It did make me think though, perhaps it is time for me to start with making Christmas Cards; after all I normally need a good amount to send out to family and friends!

Penguin Christmas Cards

I absolutely love this cute Penguin die! I got it last year in an after Christmas clearance sale at Hobbycraft and couldn't wait for Christmas to come around again so I could use it. I find the idea of a penguin having to wear a scarf and gloves so cute!

I especially liked the idea of placing three penguins walking in a row as it reminded me of the 'Three Wise Men', so I had to make them follow a star!

Below are the individual images of some of the cards I created:
