I Heart U
Hi readers! Happy Tuesday! I hope your week is starting off fantastically! I’m pleased to welcome back guest designer Pamela Ho to our blog to share with us this really cutely colored Mama Elephant pair of penguins. Isn’t this the perfect love card to give to someone special just because? Read on to find out tips, tricks, and Pamela’s process for this card!
Enjoy!
After the holidays, I decided to start a little early on my Valentine’s Day cards using my Mama Elephant stamps. Most of the time, I position my stamps and/or dies on my card base to plan out my card. I started off with a piece of white cardstock and stamped the adorable penguins from Mama Elephant‘s Polar Pals and colored in using my Copics. Then I did some partial die-cutting using the coordinating dies as well as the borderline trio dies.
I stamped a simple sentiment using Balloon Letters and Balloon Et Cetera and drew some lines so the penguins look like they are holding onto the balloons.
The penguins are then adhered over the card base with some foam adhesive.

Here is a challenge for you….use penguins as other birds…robins, bluebirds, chickens. I am not a penguin person, but am always challenging myself to see them in other formats.
So cute!
