Waddling in a Winter Wonderland Funfold (DTC #208)

Greetings! A new challenge is up on the Double Trouble Blog.

Double Trouble Challenge #208 is encouraging us to enjoy winter by observing Penguin Awareness Day on Tuesday, January 20, 2026. Trouble Maker is looking forward to a day of walking (or waddling) like a penguin. Her 3-2-1 Recipe is ready for your projects, and she is eager to see how you use your ingredients.

OPTIONS

Twisted Sister is looking for a penguin.

There is no shortage of penguins!

Double Dare is offering a sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #687, shown below. This biweekly challenge runs from Tuesday, January 20, 2026, through Sunday, February 1, 2026, at noon (ET).

I did not use the sketch for this challenge, but if you do, you will be eligible for yet another chance in the drawing. 

The patterned paper did the work for me in creating this winter card. I used three patterned papers, a fussy-cut penguin, and a cut-apart from the same coordinating paper pack, and three colors of cardstock from my stash. The funfold probably has a name - it reminds me of a modified Z-fold.  

The Design Team at Double Trouble has an array of cards to inspire your creativity, so stop by, take a look, and join the challenge. You could win a prize in the random drawing.

Thank you,

Melanie
