Looking for a sweet card to send this summer? Check out these adorable poolside penguins for a card that is giving the sweetest summer vibes.
Today’s Summer Card creation comes from our designer, Shelly, who is bringing this warm summer vibes with these adorable penguins. Shelly said, “I just love summertime. Sun, surf, sand, pool time, and the breeze, yes, please! So I made a fun summertime card with some cute penguins having fun!” We love that hot pink flamingo floatie, and the subtle wave stencil that really makes this card pop! Follow along as Shelly walks us through the steps to recreate this sweet summer penguin card.
