If there was a new Cricut under your tree, a great beginner project is a thank you note for the giver! I designed this Penguin Thank You Card with all free images, and so if you can cut this for free even if your Cricut Access trial has run out.

Supplies I used:

Solid Cardstock
Printed Cardstock
Aleene’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue
Therm O Web Zots Singles-Medium
Double-Sided E-Z Runner Grand Adhesive Dispenser
Googly eyes (optional)

Design Space will prompt you for a scoring stylus or scoring wheel, but you can skip that step and hand crease your card if you don’t have one of the scoring tools. I highly recommend cutting the word on the “cardstock for intricate cuts” setting.

The printed cardstock is from this paper pack from Michael’s:

In case you’re a true newbie to paper piecing, here are some photos of the assembly process:

Put the word on its background.
Put the feet on the penguin background.
Put the white piece on the penguin background.
Put the top black layer on the penguin.
I used glue dots to stick the googly eyes on. You could leave the googly eyes off.
Put the bill on the penguin.
Put the penguin on the card. You could use liquid glue or glue dots.
Put the assembled quote bubble on the card.
Complete!
