I made this clear card for the OCL booth at CHA. Isn't this little guy a cutie?!
He's from the Penguin Fun stamp set.

A lady contacted me who saw my card in an Addicted to Rubberstamps ad and wanted to know how to make it for her daughter who loves penguins! So, I'm going into a little bit more detail here.
I cut a piece of heavy acetate at a standard 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 size card with the fold at the top. I took a clean pencil eraser, tapped it on the glue pad, then on the acetate on the card front, then I sprinkled on the glitter to make the sparkly snowballs. I cut my patterned paper with my Spellbinders Labels 8 die, but any die would do. I stamped my penguin on white cardstock, colored him and glued on a little Sugar Sparkly Fluff on the beanie top, cut him out and attached him, the snowball pile and sign to the die cut piece. I tied my ribbon around the top. I cut 3 more pieces of patterned paper to go on the inside front to cover the adhesive, and on the back so there is a space to write on, the 3rd piece is attached to the very back of the card to hide more adhesive.
