Penguin!

I know, he isn't Stampin' Up!  Come on, I'm sure you have something that's non-Stampin' Up! that you enjoy using.  I can assure you that I'm mostly Stampin' Up!  And if the die cut I used isn't I bet you the card stock is! 

I acquired this Penguin Sizzix Die some time ago.  I decided this year to make him into gift tags.  I ran him through my Big Shot in Basic Black and then Whisper White cardstock.  I snipped the belly and his face out so I could layer them onto the black.  I used the Stampin' Up! Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack circle to punch out the Red, Orange and Black cardstock to layer for his eyes, cheeks and nose.  I found the 2-way Glue to be the best adhesive for gluing it all together.  I used the Stampin' Up! Black Stampin' Write Marker to write in his belly To and From.  Look at the belly lines and feet accents; I used the uni-ball Signo Gel Pen!  I have had a few customers tell me they have trouble with their Gel Pens drying up but yet they could see gel inside the barrel.  I had one act all dried up once to.  I bought a new one and I don't store it on end.  I keep it in a bin so it lays horizontally and I haven't had any issues with it.   I had lots of fun making these little guys and I wanted to share!

Enjoy!
