I made a waddle (according to Google, a group of penguins on land are called a waddle) of penguins for teacher Christmas gifts. They have York peppermint patties inside.
With the curvy keepsake dies, these are pretty easy to make. The eyes are 1/2" and 3/4" circles punched out, white gel pen added to the black circle. The beak is a heart punch, the feet are two petals from the blossom punch, and the belly is a circle framelit with the bottom part cut off.
The Curvy keepsake dies include three little tag shapes and those were used here. The most time consuming, fiddly part was tying the tags on with gold thread!
Thanks for looking.

Oh Catherine, this photo of your "waddle" of penguins is so darned cute that I loved it even before I saw who made them! Then I saw your name and I loved it even more. Fun! They are cute, cute, cute and will be adored by the teachers who receive them. This is going right into my favs! Hugs! ~Karen.
Woohooo. So happy I inspired you sis to pull out that curvy dies!! These came out too cute. Wasn’t it fun and so easy? This got me giggling especially thinking how easy and fun they are to make and knowing they will be loved and enjoyed just to see. Now did making it answer your question how I did my VSN cuties in 58 minutes? I’m just sad I didn’t feel well enough to finish the elf, Thomas, hello kitty and another I had all precut in my stash. I like to have them handy and ready to assemble at a minutes notice. Your so right the tags be the longest to be fiddling with lol so I opted out and got another box in time to post to VSN for my candy land challnge your saddlers are too cute!! Love love. High ho!!

Darling look at your fully-populated & delightful 'waddle'!! I love my curvy keepsake boxes and still enjoy gifting a cutie now & then. Who can resist these?! Merry Christmas!
This are some cute little waddles. Mom made some of those little creature, I'm not sure if she finished Thomas last I knew he only had a face with no body...lol... You did an awesome job Aunt Catherine!
