A Calm Silhouette Scene With Candice!

Hi everyone, hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! There’s still time to join our card challenge #27 – Sea Moodboard. Today Candice is back to share her card inspired by this month’s challenge!

I love her ink blended background with Distress Oxide inks in colors inspired by this month’s palette (Villainous Potion, Seedless Preserves, Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers,Speckled Egg).

She stamped out the balloons from Life Is A Carnival and colored them with a black pigment marker.

From black cardstock, she diecut the two building skylines from the Outdoor Ice Rink Scene Builder set and adhered them to the bottom of her card.

She finished her card with a white heat embossed sentiment from We Are Right for Each Other and using a mix of white colored pencil and gelly roll for the highlights. I love the pop of colors from the scattered sequins!

This month’s challenge runs until July 30th at 11:59 PDT. We’ll select a winner to receive a $25 CAD gift certificate to ppstamps.com from challenge #27 and #28 which will be announced on September 1st at the beginning of challenge #29!

A Classroom Scene – Thank You Card by Mimi!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Welcome back Crafty Friends! This is our first blog post of 2023 and we wish you a healthy and prosperous year ahead!

Today Mimi is back to share with us a super cute classroom setting Thank You card!

I’m loving all the bright and vibrant colors! To set the scene, she used the Classroom Scene Builder die set. She ink blended the back wall with Distress Oxide Broken China and the wood floor with Gathered Twigs.

This Classroom Scene Builder die set has all the elements you need to create a detailed and adorable classroom setting! I love the Copic coloring she did on the die-cut pieces.

She combined a few characters from The Sweetest Truck and Rabbit Café. She also used the crayons and other accessories like pencils, apple, and a little note from We Are Right For Each Other and Penguin Agenda. I love that she added the rainbow decorations on the wall too, super cute!

The hand-drawn heart on the easel is a nice touch as well! To finish off her card, she added a sweet sentiment from Inseparable.

Thank you so much Mimi, your card is amazing!

Beautiful Floral Thank You Card by Karen

Hi friends! Karen is back to share another gorgeous creation with us!

Her card features the So Blessed stamp set and coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts from our Spring/Summer Release.

I love the placement of the flower bouquets in opposite corners which compliments the scripty sentiment in the center perfectly!

I also love the combination of the white heat embossed images and water colors which brings a very elegant feel!

All of the images and sentiments were die cut using the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts in which you can find a large die that cuts out all of the sentiments strips at once – is a super time saver! The rounded corners on the sentiment strip also gives it a unique finishing touch.

Thank you so much Karen for your charming inspiration!

Gorgeous Floral Cards with Guest Designer Ilda!

Sharon Y.1 Comment

I hope you all had a great weekend! Today we’re super excited to have our talented Guest Designer, Ilda Dias sharing a duo of floral cards with us!

Ilda‘s cards features the Stencils 360° tool and the latest Centerpiece Stencils 360°. She started the inking process on a large canvas. She chose to use a different color on each of the flower cut outs on the stencil.

The final design is achieved in 3 rounds of inking (by rotating the stencil to every 4th circle on the scale, twice). This large canvas allows her to easily create two cards, an A2 size and a 5×5 square card, just by slicing it down near the middle!

This one below is the A2 size card. I just love the rainbow hue that she blended.

Below is the 5×5” square card. I love how the beautiful colors contrasting against the crisp black trims and sentiments!


All the sentiments are created using the So Blessed – stamp set and penguin perfect cuts.

Thank you so much Ilda for Guest Designing for us today! These cards are absolutely gorgeous!
