It’s time for another Magical Monday! Bet you thought I might not be showing you the love since it’s vacation week, eh? Well I couldn’t RESIST sharing these little guys with you. Oh my GOSh so cute. Two are brand new from Purple Onion, and Holly is from last year…but Walter the Penguin just melts my little heart!

In the no-chatter video below, you’ll see the process, including the sweet little background that makes Mary and Holly look like they’re taking off. The sentiment, by the way, was inked with the red and green BEFORE stamping; then I used a stamping platform to make it all line up just perfectly so Walter would sit properly on the “Merry.” These are NOT clear stamps, so stamp them onto acetate to assure correct placement before doing the final stamping.

I’m going back through your videos to see what I missed in the busy holiday season. Love your background. I never would have thought to do it that way but the movement the dots provide for the bird is particularly great. I love this artist’s stamps. I may have to buy most of them!
so love Walter Mary and Holly, have sat and watched and listened to you awesome choice of music for them. Wish I could actually do it!!….in the NYear. Keep up your wonderful videos
Oh man! That background is sooo cool! I want to have awesome creative ideas for cards! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m really enjoying the coloring videos!
AWESOME!!!! Thank you for sharing!!
What a cheerful card! Magical Monday and my first cup of coffee is the perfect way to start my day.
What a cute card and stamps. Love the ears on Holly and how you did the background. The background added movement to the card. TFS
That is adorable. I love the effect of them taking off – that’s awesome!
Sandy, Thanks!! How playful and cute!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents!
This is super cute! Oh I love the way you color!
Adorable. Loving the magical Mondays.
I just dropped a hefty chunk of change at POD for cyber Monday — Stacey’s designs are the cutest!! I’m with you, Walter the penguin is adorable.
They are adorable! What cardstock do you use? I’ve noticed that on some cardstock I have, the Copics don’t blend as nicely as they do on others, and I was wondering if there’s a certain cardstock that will give me the best results. Thanks, Sandy.
