fishing you a happy day

Hi friends, Happy Friday! It’s so surreal to be staring the end of 2023 right square in the eyes… it’ll be history in a couple days! I’m excited to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you created with the new Penguin Party Collection! OMGoodness, talk about cuteness overload! This accordion center panel card features papers, stamps and dies from this adorable collection. This is a great fun fold that is really easy despite it’s complex look – it’s the second one I’ve made and I see more of these in my future for sure!

The card base and folded center panel were cut from CutCardStock Lessebo Arctic Blue and Lessebo Aubergine cardstock and embellished with papers from the 12×12 Collection Pack. I created a scene on the folded center panel with stamped images from the Igloo Stamps that I colored with alcohol markers and cut with the coordinating Igloo Outline Dies. I added a sentiment stamped from the same stamp set and cut with the same outline dies. The finishing touch was adding corners from the Lilac 12×12 Collection Pack ephemera to the bottom of the innermost narrow panels for a little interest.

I cut the inside panel of the center folded element from CutCardStock Lessebo White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the paper used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the Penguins Stamps which completed the card.
