All About Penguins Blog Hop

Welcome to the All About Penguins Blog Hop!


We're so glad you could join us! Today we'd like to share with you a whole bunch of crafty projects made using our favorite, adorable, and lovable winter friends... penguins!

If you've just come across the hop and would like to start at the beginning, you're in the right place!

Penguins are my absolute favorite animal.. I find it completely impossible to resist their cuteness! I couldn't wait to create a project for this hop, and ended up making a card (one of my favorites) using the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge.

Designer papers are DCWV and the penguins were cut at 2.5" from the Simply Charmed cartridge



The black ribbon and adhesive rhinestones are from my stash and the sentiment is from Michael's and distressed with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Black Soot


I cut the big heart at 1.25" and the smaller hearts at .75" using Cricut Craft Room and then used Glam Pink and Yellow Stickles to make them sparkle, and adhered them to the card using pop dots.
