Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog hop for everyone (there isn’t everyone) but there is ALOT of talent in one blog hop. It also features a technique called “cutting penguins!?” the technique explains itself!
Lets get started by stamping some happy penguins down and chopping them in half with the card panel. I know it seems harmful, but as far as I know they don’t feel much pain. This is so that we can use colored pencils and Copic markers on one colored image (I know, pretty smart eh).
Color those images as you usually would with whatever fancy techniques you wish!
Then it’s time to put the fun and interactive twist on the card! So, add the top panel on the top fold of the card base. Then chop off the excess and add the lower piece onto the panel. Finally, stamp your sentiment on the inside. Then, your recipient will see that they make your day cooler when they open up the card!
Enjoy the video!

I’m not interested in the giveaway. I just wanted to tell you that a “must” subscribe to a Youtube channel is not appealing. For me, a blog hop is inspiration and fun, not an obligation ! If you want to get a important number of followers and earn money with your Youtube channel, you’ve got to work for it.
Congrats I on your blog hop!
Very clever and fun card. I’m new to your blog and youtube channel, but I am so thrilled to follow both. Not just for the giveaway, but to be inspired by such a creative young mind. Looking forward to your future postings and projects.
Very cool interactive card design with these cute penguins.
I don’t do well with markers, barely learning pencils ๐ thank you for opportunity to win.
Love this idea…. I could see doing this with a lot of different things.
So creative!
Such a cute idea. Although I do feel a little bad for the Penguins.
Whoa!! Very clever, very creative, very inspirational and down right fun!!
I’ve made many, many cards but have never thought of this style. Very clever; I MUST give this a try. I like it. Thanks for the hop, and best wishes to you.
Fantastic card!!! Great hop!!
Very good design! Enjoying your website. Good luck!
Great idea! Having a couple of teen boys, love the guy twist you have on cards (The Pokeman Go spinner was so clever). Thanks for the fun hop.
Cute card! Thanks for not making us comment on EVERY single blog to enter the giveaway.
What a fun technique and such a cute card.
I am not here for the giveaway. Just liked Newton’s Nook. I normally would skip blogs I don’t care for but your forcing your visitors to subscribe to your YouTube channel just makes me never want to visit your blog again, a blog I’ve never ever heard of until Newton’s Noonk sponsored you. I could just go out and buy a stamp set. Perhaps because you are young and think it’s ok, but there are better ways to earn your subscribers loyalty and that’s by asking and giving them an option not forcing.
Hi Simon, What a very cute and very easy way to have an interactive card I really like it and I definitely want to support a 16-year-old and any 16-year-old who is blogging into the Stamp world and the fact that you’re a guy is extra awesome. Do not let any negative comments discourage you I don’t know why these people can’t keep any negative thoughts to themselves. I will be happy to subscribe to your YouTube channel and I enjoyed your chatter along with your instructions on how to make this cute card. I can think of a few images already that I wouldn’t mind cutting in half to start off with . Well done!
Wow, I I thought you were 16 but I just read that you are 13. That is even more amazing.
On top of that you found all these awesome artist to participate and some great stores to supply prizes. Maybe if I try to get started I could get some advice from you !
Love the unusual split on this card! Cool beans!
Already subscribed to your blog and YouTube. Off to comment on the other blogs.
Thanks for the cool hop!

Very cute card Simon! I love using different mediums together also!
Fun card. Love the different coloring mediums.
This is a really cute card. Cutting the card like you did and using different coloring techniques makes me think that they may have been partly under water. Good job.
