CottageCutz Jolly Penguin Tag


Hello everyone, Today I wanted to share a CottageCutz Jolly Penguin Christmas Tree Tag, using the Tree & Stamp from the CottageCutz Homemade Christmas Gift Set Box, and then the Penguin from the "Christmas Cheer" Release found HERE!


The CottageCutz Jolly Penguin was cut using all white card stock, then colored with copics. Next I used some Flower Soft in Polar white for his Santa Cap.

The Christmas Tree tag is from the Homemade Christmas Gift set Box and  was cut out using green scrap piece of card stock, then I distressed the edges, and used the To: and From: stamp also from the Homemade Christmas Gift Set Box . I then added some twine, and a gingham bow to the top, with a button. All the String,ribbon and buttons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

 I left the string long enough to tie to a present for Christmas! Love how EASY this was to make! Perfect too for all your Christmas gifts!!!


Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

My stamps are NEW and will be released on Sunday by The Scrapping Cottage!! There are going to be 21 dies and some stamps in a super sweet Gift Set box :)
