Waddle, waddle, waddle! It’s Stacey from Glued To My Crafts AGAIN presenting to you our latest Paper Heart Doily Penguin Valentine Card tutorial!
Since this one has a penguin theme to it, all I have to say is that it’s stinkin’ ADORABLE for the Valentine’s Day holiday AND winter season! Don’t you think?
Penguin Valentine Cards
Out of all the ideas I have presented this week, I say this Paper Heart Doily Penguin idea is the cutest for a young classroom setting. In fact, the first thing that came to mind as I was designing these, was kindergarten and 1st grade teachers making these for their children and giving them out on the BIG day.
It’s got a chocolate surprise in the center for his nose and that cute overall factor that you are probably looking for today }not to mention super unique from the stuff in the stores!}
Plus penguins are super great to craft up this time of year, with the winter season we are in. If Valentine’s Day isn’t your thing, tie our idea into story time or a lesson plan – wink wink!
So why wait to complete it? I got the tutorial below and it’s tried-and-true. I promise! Happy crafting {and gifting} my awesome friends! #gluedtomycrafts
