Stampin' Up! Penguin Place - Card from the Catalog

I love the adorable animal sets that Stampin' Up! releases each year, and this Penguin Place Bundle is no exception!  This is another versatile stamp set, great for kids, birthdays, penguin lovers, guys, Christmas, hello, friendship...well, you get the idea!  :) 

To make it even better, during Sale-a-bration you can earn the coordinating Penguin Playmates 12"x12" Designer Series Paper FREE when place a qualifying order!  

This card is another one straight out of the Sale-a-bration brochure.  You can find it on p. 5.  Don't have a brochure?  You can download one from the banner on the right for instant access.  The only change I made was in cutting out the sentiment.  I used Paper Snips to quickly cut around the sentiment, and Stampin' Up! used the Messages Die.

• Use a glue dot inside the wing to attach the twine.  If needed, trim the ends of the twine. 
• Use a dab of glue and a Stampin' Dimensional to attach the sentiment over the balloon.

For the inside, punch out a penguin body and two feet.  Stamp the eyes, beak and bowtie on the penguin.  Then, glue him together and adhere to the inside of the card.
