Today's cards all feature Impression Obsession's adorable new  Just Chillin' clear stamp set. This set features 7 penguins (appropriately and adorably dressed for the weather) and 3 coordinating sentiments. You can certainly make darling Christmas cards with this stamp set, but I love that you aren't limited - create any type of cold weather card for birthdays, or just to say hello.

For today's first card, I love the way the patterned paper looks like swirls of snow in the sky. It was actually a piece of summer paper and I think it was supposed to look like water, but heck - it works. Grab a piece of fun patterned paper, and you'll be able to put this clean and simple card together quickly and easily!

I did some coloring with markers on all of these cards. It's pretty easy to color these guys because they just need a pop of color on their winter wear. I don't color enough to invest in expensive markers, but I do enjoy coloring with markers so I recently took a risk and purchased Caliart alcohol markers from Amazon. I didn't know if they'd be good or not but I actually REALLY like them and they were a great price (less than $40 last time I checked) for 100 markers! I've really been having fun with them. 

The second card has another fun background - this time created with an embossing folder and a little bit of tone-on-tone inking. I created a snowy scene for the penguins using a die from the Wave Edges die set. (Again, water as snow!)

Below is a peek at another new stamp set available now. It's called Cool Yule, and I love the way these sets play off each other. The sentiments mix and match perfectly, and those bears are simple adorable. (You'll see more of these bears later in the month!)
