Penguin Shaker Christmas Card

The cardmaking community seems to be celebrating Christmas/Winter in July, so I figured I'd play along using brand new Stampendous!® stamps from their July 2021 release. Have you seen the new stamps yet? You really ought to pop right over to take a look at the new catalog!

You might know that I love penguins and there are quite a few of them in the new release. There are also polar bears, cats, dogs, and new House-Mouse Designs® stamps.

Here's a shaker card featuring the penguin and the fish from the new Polar Play Perfectly Clear® Stamp Set.
