Make This Adorable Penguin Christmas Card in Minutes!

Today I have such a cute, quick and easy Christmas card idea!

We will be using the Penguin Place stamp set and the Penguin Builder Punch for this card. I will also have a version of the card with the Yeti from Yeti to Party!

Right now this Penguin Builder Punch, Yeti to Party Stamp Set and Yeti Dies are all 60% off while supplies last!

I think these cards are perfect for kids or the kid at heart! If you know a penguin collector this is for them as well. 

Here is the Penguin version of the card!

Here is the Yeti version of the card

CARD MEASUREMENTS

• 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 score: 4-1/4" (Basic White Cardstock)
• 1 Die Cut Frame from the Fabulous Frames Dies (largest frame) Tahitian Tide Cardstock
• 14 penguins using the Penguin Builder Punch in Basic Black and Basic White Cardstock

INSTRUCTIONS

Punch out your penguin pieces. Stamp the eyes in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Penguin Place stamp set. Stamp the beak in Pumpkin Pie ink close to the eyes. Glue penguins together set aside for the glue to dry. 

Die cut frame. Add Tear and Tape Adhesive to the back all the way around the frame (so your penguins can stick to it)

Position penguins in the 4 corners first. Vary how far they come into the frame. Add the rest of your penguins. Have fun with positioning them. Once you have penguins all around the frame (be sure you leave enough room in the center to stamp a sentiment) then trim the bottom portion of the penguins so they don't come out of the frame. Trim away excess around all edges of frame.

Use Foam Adhesive strips on the back of the layer. Use a little extra to reinforce the back of the penguin heads in a few spots. Set aside.

Using the snow cluster stamp, create a border around the edge of your card in Tahitian Tide ink. Stamp the sentiment of choice in the center of the card. I chose "Be Cool Be Chill Be Merry" from Penguin Place stamp set. 

Remove backing from Foam Adhesive strips. Add to card base. 

FOR THE YETI CARD

Just a few variations: 

• Die cut the frame in Basic Black cardstock
• Stamp Yeti in Tahitian Tide ink, die cut with Yeti dies
• Die cut scarves for each of your Yetis with the Yeti dies
• Use the Classic Matte Dots in Black for their eyes to help them pop
• Color the tongue with Polished Pink Light Stampin' Blend
• For the border use the snowflake and small present from Yeti to Party. Alternate them all the way around the card
• Use the inner rectangle from the Fabulous Frame die in Tahitian Tide for the inside layer.
• Stamp "Is it christmas yeti?" in VersaMark ink and heat set with the black embossing powder
• Use the Adhesive Backed Stars as an embellishment on the scarves
