Puttin' on the Ritz-3225J

Hello Digi Divas, Today I want to share with you my NEW "Puttin' on the Ritz" - 3225J digi stamp set. He is a dashing and handsome little penguin all dressed up, cane and flowers in hand; ready for his date for Valentine's Day!

I know many of you are still in the Christmas mode, but I need to keep ahead of you... However, I do want to wish each and everyone of you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a BLESSED NEW YEAR! Come along as I share with you a step by step tutorial for this delightful little card of my NEW creation!

Suggested card size: 7"x5"

Card Front: Size the Penguin image with hearts to

3¼x4¼". I copied and pasted 2 more times for a

total of 3 images (an extra just in case).

Select the sentiment of your choice. Print 2 (just in

case). One sized at 1" and one at 1¼".

Print on Hammermill® 100lb. white card stock.

Color as desired, I used Copic® markers.

If you use the colored images you may want to

touch them up with Copic® markers.

Cut the images apart as shown.

Place the Tonic® Heart Die on the top image

and lightly trace around the outside edge.

Fussy cut the parts that need to overlap the

die to avoid being cut by the die (as shown).

Die cut the image, avoiding the heart

sections (as shown).

Cut the extra hearts on the lower left free

from the die cut, leaving the 2 hearts overhanging

(as shown).

Save the extra hearts for later.
