Today a new challenge started on the Penny’s Paper-Crafty challenge blog. The theme is like always “Anything goes using paper”. I made this cute valentine penguin card, hope you like it.
Our sponsors are:


I used a digital stamp “Puttin’ on the Ritz” from Jan’s Digi stamps. I kept this card simple because family circumstances mean I don’t have much time to be creative.
Now let’s get into it.
Measurements for this valentine penguin card
- For the base of the card, you need a piece of white cardstock measuring 21 centimeters by 15 centimeters. Score at the 21 centimeters side at 10,5 centimeters.
- A piece of red cardstock measuring 14,5 centimeters by 10 centimeters.
- A piece of pattern paper measuring 14 centimeters by 9,5 centimeters.
- DCP paper to print your image on.

I printed the digital stamp on DCP paper and colored the image with my alcohol markers.

Assembling the card
Now it’s time to assemble the card. I glue the pattern paper on the red card stock. I place the cute penguin in the middle of the card with hearts around him. I place the sentiment under his feet, so it’s look like he walks on that. And the card is finished. Hope you like it.

Happy crafting!
