Hello crafty friends! Friday is just around the corner, hope you’re having a great week!
Mimi is sharing a charming slimline card with us today!
Starting with the background, Mimi ink blended these beautiful rainbow stripes and dots using the Hieroglyphs stencil! I adore this idea!
The chain of hearts is created using an image from Inseparable stamp set, while the sentiment is from the Unity and Friendship Quotes stamp set and it ties in with the background seamlessly!
I love how she stacked the adorable bears into a pyramid, which are from the Miniature Teddy Bear stamp set. The color palette on these cuties matches the background perfectly!
I love how she used the small images from all of Penguin Agenda, Inseparable, Sweetest Truck to create these cute little designs on the bears’ tummies – so clever!!
The opened jar of floating hearts are also from Inseparable.
Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Candice is with us today sharing a Just Because card with a theme inspired by this month’s Penguin Palace card challange!
Her card was inspired by our Challenge #14: Geometric!
She started by blending a rainbow background using Distress Oxide inks. I just love this rainbow hue!
Then she blended a few slightly darker shades of the same colors through our new Hieroglyphs stencil to create a tone on tone geometric-inspired background! This versatile stencil lets you create an interesting background for any type of card!
She stamped and Copic-colored one of the images from the Inseparable stamp set and cut them out using the coordinating die.
Next, she white heat-embossed the “Sending Warm Hugs” sentiment from the Unity and Friendship Quotes onto some gray cardstock and die cut it with the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts. I love how this coordinating die trims closely to the letters for a very detailed finished look. She then finished her card with some sparkly embellishments!

Today we’ll be showcasing two more products from our Spring/Summer 2022 new release, the So Blessed stamp set and the You Are Amazing stand-alone die cut!
First up we have Mimi who created this charming shaker ‘Thank You’ card for us!
I really adore the layout of this card. The heart shape cut-out is just the perfect fit for this Thank you shaker! The soft violet tone gives a very sweet and calm feel which I totally love!
Candice also made a Thank You card for us today. I love how she stamped out the bouquet on both the top and the bottom, creating a focal point for the big scripty Thank You in the center.
The watercoloring on this is so gorgeous! This Thank You stamp is sized just right to be the focal point of any A2 size card. I love the splatter of colors that completes this card perfectly!
Then we have Guest Designer’s Yan’s creation! I love the soft no-line watercolored bouquet on white, combined with the light grey back panel.
The white trimming add just the right amount of detail!
Our next showcase for today is the You Are Amazing stand-alone words die.
Julie‘s first card has a vintage vibe to it, it’s so beautiful! Love all the layering stamped out using the bouquet image from the So Blessed stamp set.
I love that she die cut the words die out of bright white cardstock to match the thick white bold border of the card.
She then went for a more fun design for her second card. The black letters really pop from the colorful background!
The cute mini bears are from the Miniature Teddy Bear stamp set. I love the white gel pen details on these fun quirky fonts, they look amazing!
I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s inspirations! Tomorrow is our June Inspiration Week Wrap Up and Winners Reveal! Don’t miss it!
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a lovely day!
Hello and welcome to Penguin Palace’s June Inspiration Week – Day 4! If you’re just joining us, don’t forget to head over to our blog Giveaway Post from Wednesday or to our IG Giveaway Post where you can leave your comments for chances to win a Special Goodie Bag worth over $170CAD/$130USD!
Today we’ll be showcasing one more circular stencil from our latest 360° collection, the Plaid Floral Fun Stencils 360°! The set contains a 6″ stencil and a 4″ stencil. Use these stencils together or separately. With these, you can create something truly unique by choosing different rotating intervals! There is no right or wrong, just let your creativity takes you to new grounds with this fun floral design. There are just so many possibilities!
Today we are so honoured to have 3 Guest Designers sharing their inspirations with us. First up is Jessica, I’m sure you’re familiar with her amazing work. I am in love with this soft palette!
The sentiment is from the Unity and Friendship Quotes stamp set. I just love how these pastel colors come together flawlessly on the 6″ stencil! The rotation and overlapping of the stencil design create this gorgeous pattern that is truly one of a kind!
Next up we have Guest Designer Cheryl who created two cards for us today. Instead of using the 6″ stencil, Cheryl used only the small 4″ stencil for her first card.
She rotated the 4″ stencil at 15 degrees to achieve the pattern in the center, and 30 degrees for the rest of the offset patterns in the corners. See how the pattern becomes fuller as the angle of rotation gets smaller? She added the little girl from Rabbit Cafe as the focal point. She then stamped out more accessory images in matching colors to finish off the card. Love this look!
For her second card, she used the 6″ stencil as the background. While rotating her stencil, she also did some intentional masking to create a fun layered look for her design where the five colors are stacked on top of one another.
The cute kitties and sentiment are from the My BFF stamp set. I love the matching colors on the critters and the background!
She used water-based inks that blended out the rainbow with the Plaid Floral Fun Stencils 360°™. For this card, she really took it to the next level! Instead of making reference to one of the scales on the 360° Base, she rotated it freehand to create this perfect rainbow flower with 11 rotations – super creative!
She then used different-sized circle dies to cut out the inner and outer circles and the card base to create this charming shaker card!
For her next card, she offset her canvas prior to commencing inking to blend the flowers in the corners.
To add centers to the flowers she used a couple of the clear stencils from The Mandalas Bundle Stencils 360°™. I love the added glimmer paste for the extra sparkle!
She used the Thank you sentiment from the So Blessed set to heat emboss on vellum and wrapped it around the bottom half of the card, finishing it with a sub sentiment from the same stamp set. I really love the soft look created with the vellum!
On both cards, she added some pearls for some extra detailing and pops of color.
Finally we have our Creative Team member Julie’s creation!
She ink blended and rotated the large stencil at a smaller interval to create lots of overlays. She then further blended with the smaller stencil in a darker color in the center. All these overlays make it look so intriguing!
I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s inspirations! We have one more day of new inspirations tomorrow, and our Wrap Up and Winners Reveal is next Monday, so stay tuned!
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a lovely day!
