I was lucky enough to win a lovely prize from Allsorts Challenge last month and have been playing with these fabulous Aall & Create penguin stamps, just one of the sets I won :)
I made a gift tag holder with a matching pocket and envelope. First I cut a wedge shaped tag from white cardstock then I played around with a sheet of copy paper until I worked out how to fold the shape for the pocket, made a template and cut from the same white cardstock. I stamped and masked the penguins using Twilight Versafine, blended some blue and grey distress inks over the background and randomly stamped the words and white embossed snowflakes, added the eyelets and fibres to the tag and tabs. I finished the set by adding white faux stitching with a gel pen.
I kept the template so I can make some more of these sets, I will be very glad of them next Christmas!

Great use of your prize they look wonderful. Thanks for sharing at Allsorts also.
What a great design Chris and I LOVE the backgrounds and gorgeous penguins..When my snow goes on my cards and they turn a bit browny because of the ink I think of real slushy yucky snow and don't feel too bad at all..
Fabulous project..
Luv CHRISSYxx
