This year my children have had plenty of down-time so I put them to work on their own valentines instead of me doing all the work. I took them down to the studio and had the younger two looked through my Punch Pals book. I knew before giving the book to them which one Ethan would choose. He loves penguins, I knew he would choose the penguin.
Here he is! I’m quite proud of Ethan for all the work he did on these. He didn’t do it all, I helped, but he did a lot. He glued on the belly and the wings (is that what you call them?) and feet of the penguin, he stamped the hearts and embossed the background. . . . They’re so cute!
Ethan also enjoyed stamping the backs of the valentines (although he wasn’t all that into writing everyone’s names . . . I couldn’t blame him too much after all the work he did though.)
He used the “created by” stamp from the Creatively Yours stamp set, the heart from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and then the Casual Monogram personalized stamp I bought him for Christmas.
I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing these cute little valentines! I’m sure Ethan would love to see your comments if you have a minute or two.
Thank you for coming by to visit today!

Ethan is a boy after my heart, I love Penguins too. Ethan you did a super job making all of those Penguin cards. I think that “Handmade Penguin Valentine Cards” are the best to make because each recipient will know that you put a lot of love and time just to make them feel so special. Great job Ethan and keep up the great work. Have a fun day.

Ethan, I think your penguins are really cute, especially the different ways you put on the wings. It looks like a *lot* of work!
