Punch art penguins

Today I'd like to share with you penguin punch art using the new owl punch.  I found lots of great uses for Halloween with this punch, now I am working on Christmas!  My first character is a cute penguin that I used to make a jumbo paperclip bookmark and a matching 4x4 Christmas card.
I love penguins and thought this would be a real cute gift to give as a set.  I actually used this duo as a booking gift for my workshop today (thanks for the great party Jackie..I had a blast!).  Here are a couple close ups of the bookmark.






This is a super easy little guy to put together, I just cut the ears off the owl, added white for his vest, and pumpkin pie for his nose and feet.

Here are close ups of the card, inside and outside.

I love how this card turned out.  I used the new snowflake embossing folder from the Holiday Mini Catalog and added some snow by tearing white paper and adding dazzling diamonds glitter.  The final touch, which is impossible to see in photos, is the glimmer on the card from using the glimmer paint as a spray by mixing it with rubbing alcohol.  Ever since I made up the bottle of shimmer spray, I'm looking for things to shimmer!


Now on to more festival pictures as lots of you have requested.  These are the close ups I have. 


This first pic is my card baskets, I have divider labels with the type of card and the price listed.

These are a couple other types of bookmarks that I offered.


This basket has brag books.  The other container has kids card sets where they color in the picture, it includes crayons.  The card sets on the table are my emergency card kits.



Well, thanks for stopping by.  If you need any supplies to make your own penguin duo, you can visit my Stampin' Up! website and shop online at your convenience.  Right now they have some amazing clearance that you'll want to check out!
Be sure to stop by again, I have the last couple of festival pictures to share and more of the items close up.

If it doesn't move...stamp it!!

So cute. I love Penguins too.
Can you tell me what you did to make the book marks. I have tons of 4in paperclips but have no idea how to make bookmarks out of them LOL.
TIA

Great idea for the penquin!! Love it! I'm so glad I got that punch. I forgot about Jackie's party. I told her to send me an invite but I guess she forgot. I hope it went well for you and her!
