7-1/2 Ways to Use the 🐧 Paper WITHOUT the 🐧 Punch!

Published: Tue, 09/21/21

There are only 9 days left to earn your free Sale-a-bration products*. One of my favorite free choices is the Penguin Playmates Designer Paper.

I do not have the coordinating Penguin stamp set or punch. And, you may not either (or at least for a little while) because this Penguin Pal was so popular, s/he went on backorder (the punch, not the stamp set). It should be available to order again in early November - plenty of time before the snowflakes fall.

I wanted to show you a few ways (7-1/2 according to my subject line) of using the Penguin Paper WITHOUT the Penguin Punch.

* You can earn this paper (& other really nice products) for free with a $50 order by September 30. Orders can be easily placed here - www.mailsomethingprettycom/shoponline Or reach out to me and I can help you place it.

1. Use the paper purely as the focal background paper. (I cut a heart from the same pack too).

2. Use strips/layers of the paper as background paper.

3. Use the paper as a smaller background pattern/layer (less of a focal point) and cut out a Playmate with scissors.

4. Do a "spotlight" of one of the playmates. I spotlighted the penguin by cutting a circle around him/her and then a larger circle to show the card base through. I used a dimensional to pop up the penguin. You could also cut a separate color to cut & place beneath your spotlighted focus instead of the card base.

5. Use the paper only for cut outs - again, I used my scissors to cut these pals.

6. Use a half sheet (5-1/4" x 12") to create a fun (& easy) z fold. Score at 4" & 8".

7. Use the non-playmates side as stripes. I use this template a lot.

Six strips, 3/4" x 4" each.

7-1/2. Since this is almost the same card, I'm only counting it as a half idea. Same exact strips, but I cut out a fun polar bear.

Did you notice that none of these cards specifically mention Christmas?? You certainly could, but I wanted to show you the versatility. Use them for multiple winter holidays & occasions: general seasonal greetings, snow fun, get well, happy birthday, thank you and Valentines day.

Remember, there are only 9 days left to get this pack of 12 x 12 paper for free - 2 sheets of 6 designs.

If you need help with your order, please let me know and I will be happy to help you! Or order directly here: www.mailsomethingprettycom/shoponline

If you place a $100 order by the end of September, you will also receive a free online class from me. No need to do anything but place your order. I will automatically send you the class. I will show you how to make these four technique-based cards.

Thank you to the many who have already earned their free class. The class is filmed, I just need to post it on my classes site.
