Today I am super excited to introduce to you one of our new circular stencils in the Stencils 360°TM series, called the Abstract Butterfly!

Abstract Butterfly Stencils 360°TM

If you are new to our innovative Stencils 360°TM, please head over to our YouTube channel and watch our Intro Video about this awesome tool!

From the image above, you can see there’re 4 circles as the Alignment Marker. Therefore, to achieve its intended design, follow these 3 simple steps:

It’s that simple! But of course, it can be fun to break the rules and explore new looks! And that’s the best thing about this tool! You can achieve so many different looks with just ONE single stencil!

Let’s take a look at what I mean in the next two cards!

Karen ink blended only the larger butterfly on the stencil and rotated her stencil by 60° each time (jumping 2 intervals on the ‘circle’ scale instead of 4). By doing this, she ended up with six butterflies in an array of colors after one full turn!

I love that she used a large canvas and then split it into two; and voilà, she got herself 2 cards! The two sentiments are from the Let’s Meet IRL stamp set.

Next we have Candice’s card. Instead of inking up both butterflies on the stencil, she also chose to ink up the larger butterfly of the two. She used a turning interval of 60° (again jumping 2 cirlces in each turn). I absolutely love the rainbow hue on this card! Notice how the colors blended on her note card also go seamlessly with these pretty butterflies!

She added matching-color gems to finished off her card together with a Happy Birthday sentiment from the Enchanting Paris stamp set.

Finally we have my card! I wanted to show you what it would look like if you did follow the Alignment Marker and rotate your stencil at 120° intervals (ie. jumping 4 intervals each time as shown in my images at the top). And this is what you’d get!

I used two different ink colors from the Catherine Pooler collections, namely Juniper Mist and Green Tea for my blending. I wanted to create a cut-it-up look on my card, so I cut my card into 3 long vertical sections.

I adhered them onto our Navy Blazer cardstock and added a belly band using our Elegant Backwash – Premium Fine Paper, and finished it off with an outline butterfly (die cut from the Butterfly Emergence 2 in 1 Layered Dies) in Vintage Beetle to go with my stenciled butterflies.

The sentiment “Handmade With Love” was from the Magical Christmas Sentiment stamp set which I white heat embossed onto the Grand Piano cardstock.

That concludes our inspirations for today! If you haven’t done so, head over to our Day 1 post and participate in our BLOG + IG GIVEAWAYS! You have until TONIGHT 9:00pm PST to enter. Don’t miss your chances! Winners will be announced on our Blog and on Instagram tomorrow 16 Oct.

I truly hope you’ve enjoyed today’s showcase of the Abstract Butterfly Stencils 360°TM!

Tomorrow we will have our Fall/Winter 2021 New Release Giveaway Winner Reveal and Wrap Up, including a look at our new series of Spectrum collection heavyweight cardstocks! Then In November, we will take a look at some of the other products from our new release with more Giveaways, so stay tuned!

Thank you so much for stopping by, have a lovely day!

As many of you know, we love designing cute and whimsical stamps. And today, we will be showcasing our latest stamp set in this fun category! It is called Let’s Meet IRL! Our team has worked wonders with this set & its coordinating dies, let’s check them out!

Julie created this gorgeous starry background using the Starry Spiral Stencils 360°.

Her main characters are the little brown bears floating in space, adhered to her card with a bit of foam tape for the added dimension. Plus, an adorable alien waving in the corner, super cute!

Karen made her space scene also with the pair of cute bears. I love the beautifully blended background with a touch of purple, blue and yellow hue. This color combination with a splash of white paint really set the space scene wonderfully!

She chose the fun sentiment “Forget Spacebook Messages, Let’s Meet IRL” which I think is a perfect match to the little bears floating towards each other – how adorable!

Last but not least, we have Stefanie‘s creation!

I love these mini-scenes on one slimline! For me, this pastel cyan background gives the card a very calm vibe!

My favourite is the mini-scene on the bottom where the little pug is trying to catch the floating bone! : D So adorable!

Hello and welcome back to Day 2 of Reveal Week. Our new Fall/Winter Release can now be Pre-Ordered at www.ppstamps.com! Woohoo!!!!! Don’t forget about our FREE SHIPPING deal for purchases over 65CAD+ (within Canada) / or 78USD+ (across the United States).

Please continue to visit our blog this week for some fun and awesome projects from our talented Creative Team and myself. If you missed our Day 1 Intro & Giveaway, click HERE to find out more!

Today we are focusing on two more new stamp sets and a coordinating die set which are absolutely ideal for the holiday season! They are the Magical Christmas Sentiments & its coordinating penguin perfect cuts; and the Minimalist Christmas Trees! These sets work seamlessly with each other as you will see from the below examples from our team!

First up we have Karen’s creation! The silver, red and green color combination on white is very festive and it really gives a snowy vibe!

She mixed and match a bunch of different style of the mini-trees together with the different tree toppers. I love all the heat embossing she did which gives the card the added interest!

She used one of the big scripty sentiments from Magical Christmas Sentiments, die cut it using the coordinating die and adhered it with a bit of foam tape for the added dimension!

Next up, how cool is Julie’s card?! I love that her card is a bunch of clever little details all put together. The beautifully colored trees just pop on the beige background! The torn paper effect and a piece die-cut from the Slimline Oriental Cover Die combines to create the most interesting background!

She adhered a big scripty sentiment in white from the Magical Christmas Sentiments together with a contrasting white heat embossed sans serif font on black cardstock which I thought is really cool!

Next we have Stefanie’s inspiration! I love how she created her own patterned paper using the Minimalist Christmas Trees.

I adore the tone on tone look for this card! I love the contrast of having a large sentiment heat embossed in gold on white cardstock, with and a smaller sentiment embossed in white on black cardstock. The gold sequins finished off her card perfectly!

Finally we have Candice’s adorable creation! I just love the fun and cheerful color choices for those mini-christmas trees!

The gold heat embossing really makes the trees pop! She finished off her card with a sweet sentiment and some matching gold color gems for the extra sparkle!

That concludes our inspirations for today! I’m sure you’ll agree that these are some wonderful projects from our talented artists! If you haven’t done so, head over to our Day 1 post and participate in our BLOG + IG GIVEAWAYS!  You have until Friday 15 Oct 9:00pm PST to enter. We really hope you will play along with us!

Fall/Winter 2021 New Release – Reveal Week – Day 1 (GIVEAWAY POST)

Sharon Y.55 Comments

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to our Fall/Winter 2021 Reveal Week Day 1 and THIS is also our GIVEAWAY Post! Our New Release can now be Pre-Ordered at www.ppstamps.com! YAYYY!!!!! Don’t forget about our FREE SHIPPING deal for purchases over 65CAD+ (within Canada) / or 78USD+ (across the United States).

Visit our blog this week (12 Oct to 16 Oct) for some fun and awesome projects from our talented Creative Team and myself. Most importantly, continue reading for a chance to win some prizes! Our new release includes 5 new stamp sets & coordinating dies, 3 new stand-alone dies (one of which is our very first layered die set which I’m very excited about!), 5 new circular Stencils 360°TM, 3 new 6×6 stencils and an amazing collection of colored cardstocks! We will be focusing on some of those products this week, and then in early November (2 Nov to 6 Nov) we will have another Inspiration Week where we will continue to showcase other products from this release (with more Giveaways)!

Now let’s jump right in! Today is our showcase of the Legend Of The Koi stamp set & coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts; and our first set of Layered Dies, the Butterfly Emergence 2 in 1 Layered Dies!

Our Creative Team has made the most amazing samples! We also have new videos coming up this week over on our YouTube Channel. Be sure to check them out later in the week to get more inspirations!

First up we have Stefanie’s creation featuring the Legend Of The Koi stamp set.

This layering stamp set is so much fun to play with. Stefanie chose different layers from this stamp set to create these two gorgeous koi fish. I love her watercolor background which compliments the fish beautifully.

I am loving the gold heat embossed sentiment as well! The details on these koi are just stunning!

Next up is Julie’s creation!

She used the new Handcrafted Porcelain stencil to create this gorgeous background. I love the splash of paint for the added movement. Her koi are super sharp and eye catching!

The white heat embossed sentiment on black cardstock finishes the card perfectly.

There are just so many different combinations you can use to stamp out the koi. I thought I’d showcase four of them by using a slimline card!

For my background I used the Slimline Oriental Cover die. I wanted some shimmer on the background so I decided to do a shaker card.

This is a no-bulk shaker, which means I did not use any foam tape for my shaker pocket but instead I only used some double-sided adhesive. This way, there is just enough movement but not too much that it would be too distracting.

I used Versafine Onyx Black to stamp out the outlines of my koi fish and clear heat embossed them to get a shiny finish.

Our next showcase is the Butterfly Emergence 2 in 1 Layered Dies. I am in love with this Layered die set because this is so versatile and gives gorgeous results! You can simply use the Set 1 cover dies to create an exquisite look of a colorful layered butterfly emerging from a dotted sunburst background; or use Set 2 alone for a beautifully layered butterfly with intricate details.  You can even combine the two sets for the extra dimension! 

First we have Candice’s creation. Even though she did not used all of the layers for this card, you can already see the beautiful details that this die set gives!

I love the white on white background. The Sentiment on this card is from the Enchanting Paris stamp set.

Finally, we have here my A2 size card. Using ALL seven dies from this set I die cut all the pieces using Navy Blazer for layer 1 (the very bottom layer), and Grape Macaron for layer 3, and Lime Punch for layer 4 (the very top layer). In each respective layer, I adhered Set 2 on top of Set 1, to create this extra depth to my card. I then adhered all layers together starting with layer 1 on the bottom, working my way up to layer 4 at the top.

I blended Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, and Cracked Pistachio on my note card and adhered my layered die cuts onto my note card. I also added a a white heat embossed sentiment from our Heartfelt Note stamp set on to the matching Navy Blazer cardstock.

Finally I added some mixed sized and colors gems to give it the extra sparkle.

For my next card, I used the stand-alone butterfly dies from Layer 1 and Layer 4 to create this inlaid butterfly. This is a fun way to make full use of this die set.

I used the new Handmade Porcelain Stencil for my background, and I stamped out Heartfelt thanks from the Heartfelt Notes stamp set. I mixed and match some glitter cardstock with the Lime Punch cardstock for this technique. For the outline of the butterfly I used the deep Navy Blazer cardstock which I thought really gives the butterfly a sharp defined look.
