Penguin Playmates Sale-a-Bration Card

I used the gorgeous Penguin Playmates 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) to make my card. My card is a Double Dutch Door fun-fold card. I learned how to make this in Ange's Technique Club. It's really easy to make, and quite unique!


I have to admit, at first I wasn't really too excited about the Penguin Place Bundle--until I saw this coordinating DSP! It sold me on the bundle! Now I just love these penguins, snowmen, and foxes, and the super versatile stamp set and punch bundle!! 

I used three different patterns of DSP for this card--a 3-7/8" x 2-15/16" wintry scene with animals and snowmen, two 1-3/4" x 1-15/16" striped pieces, and a penguin cut from a third piece. And how cool is this--the penguin from the DSP can be punched out with the Penguin Builder Punch!! What could be easier than that? The penguins are stinkin' cute--both on the DSP and the stamped images!! 
 

The card base is Just Jade cardstock. I cut two labels from our Stitched So Sweetly Dies--one in Fresh Freesia (which I embossed with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder), and one in Misty Moonlight. I cut the Misty Moonlight label horizontally, separated it by about 1/4", and glued it to the back of the Fresh Freesia label. The three larger DSP pieces were matted on Basic Black, and a 5'' piece of Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon was folded around to the back of the Basic Black cardstock, and adhered with mini glue dots. I adhered the penguin to the label with Dimensionals, and then added three Subtle Shimmer Sequins.


The sentiment (also cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die) is from the Penguin Place stamp set, and is stamped in Just Jade. Below is a picture of the Penguin Playmates DSP. Remember that you can get this for FREE with a $60 order!! **SADLY, THIS PAPER IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.** πŸ˜”

    1. Thanks, Gill! I had forgotten all about this fold… I was looking for something “different”. 😊

    1. The penguins really are so cute!! And I usually don't do "cutsie"! The stamped penguins are just as cute (or maybe even more)! I'm using them for card swaps soon! πŸ˜‰
