As you are ready to stamp using the Penguin Place Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the standing penguin image from the Penguin Place Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the horizontal white rectangle.
Mount the tiny, triangular beak image from the Penguin Place Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the penguin face so the triangular beak is pointing down.
Mount the balloon stick with bit of string image from the Penguin Place Set on Block G. The bottom of the stick will hang off the block, but that is okay! Ink up the top 1-3/4" of the stick with string using the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp the stick with string image on the white rectangle so the bottom of the stick touches the left flipper of the penguin.
Mount the hat image from the Penguin Place Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad. Stamp it on the top of the penguin's head.
Mount the balloon image from the Penguin Place Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle at the top of the balloon stick.
Unlock the Banners Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the Flirty Flamingo strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the inward notched top) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch.
Mount the "lots of thanks" sentiment from the Penguin Place Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the punched Flirty Flamingo strip with the punched end on the right side.
Adhere the stamped sentiment strip to the vertical designer paper strip near the bottom edge so the punched edge hangs out over the right edge a bit. Use Paper Snips to trim off excess Flirty Flamingo Cardstock on the left side. Make sure to leave room for the sequin star to the left side of the sentiment.
Adhere the designer paper strip with sentiment banner strip attached to the left side of the stamped horizontal white rectangle about 1/4" from the left edge.

Mount the single penguin foot image from the Penguin Place Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad and stamp it twice on either end of the Pumpkin Pie strip. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Unlock the Penguin Builder Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide one of the stamped feet images into the punch and get it centered in the punching area of the foot. Punch. Repeat with the other foot.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the punched out feet to the front of the card at the base of the penguin as shown.
Mount the scarf image from the Penguin Place Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad. Stamp the scarf on the small white rectangle.
