Hello! I’ve got a sweet critter card today that uses the Spectacular Penguin from Spellbinders’ Spectacular Christmas Collection. I also use this month’s 3D Embossing Folder of the Month, which is called Festive Greetings. This card is bold and really cute!

I first built my penguin. I used only a few colors of cardstock, and only did a bit of ink blending on the Peridot Cardstock with Lime Rickey Ink. It’s important to note that the body of the penguin comes from the Spectacular Bear Die Set. I opted to not have the penguin hold anything, but you certainly can!

For my background, I used the 3D Embossing Folder of the Month with a red cardstock. Then, I inked up the raised areas with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Ink. After I adhered that panel and my penguin to the card base, I added my sentiment, which is from the July 2026 Stamp & Die of the Month.

I’m enjoying this little holiday collection. I’ll be sharing a card with Santa soon. Please visit Spellbinders to see all of this month’s Club Kits and new releases. Some past Kits are available on their site too. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
