Penguin Valentine’s Day Card

Hello! After curating a roundup of Valentine’s Day cards, I was inspired to create a card using some of supplies I rediscovered. Picture a snowbank setting, a sky adorned with heart-shaped cutouts, and a charming penguin holding a heart—a whimsical way to say “Love You.”

• • To begin, create a 4 1/4″ square card base from Lipstick Red cardstock.
  • Cut frame using a My Favorite Things square frame die (now retired) from Snowdrift cardstock. The outside measurement is 4″.
  • Cut Sea Glass cardstock with the Heart Sprinkle Trail die, trim to fit behind square frame, and set aside.
  • Cut Elizabeth Craft Designs Penguin from Onyx, Snowdrift, and Persimmon cardstock. (Note: the Elizabeth Craft Designs Penguin die is retired, however, at the time of writing, it is available at Frantic Stamper.) Assemble.
  • With the Drifting Stitches Border dies, cut snowbanks from Snowdrift cardstock. Layer and trim as required. Attach loosely at the bottom of the snowbanks so that the sentiment can be included in the assembly.
  • With the Simon Says Stamp On Edge Love You die set (now retired), cut sentiment from Lipstick Red cardstock.
  • Attach the snowbank assembly, with the sentiment in front of the back snowbank, to the frame. Add Heart Sprinkle Trail background to snowbanks. Add to card base. Slip penguin between the sentiment and back snowbank; adhere.
