A Super Fun Interactive Card With Mimi!

Hi friends! Today Mimi is back to share a cool interactive encouragement card with us! Her card features the latest Dream Big stamp set and coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

This card is so clever! As you pull on the tab, the panoramic view of the runway changes to the sky, mimicking the airplane taking off!

Mimi first die cut two large frames using the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays. To prepare for the interactive element, she further die cut the them using the pull tab notch die from Dotted Borders Slimline Pull Tab die.

She stamped and die cut the large cockpit image from Dream Big, while masking the clouds and also trimming them off afterwards.

On one of the large cut panels, she cut an opening to fit the front window of the plane. She adhered the die cut Dream Big image to the panel and glued a piece of acetate behind it.

Then on a separate cardstock, she created a runway and sky scene, using the clouds from the Dream Big image. She then created and attached the pull tab mechanism, and adhered the second frame panel as the backing.

Check out this YouTube Shorts to see this interactive card in action! I hope you enjoy this inspiration!

Thank you so much Mimi! Your card is so awesome!

A Mini Slimline Interactive Card With Gladys!

Hello and Happy Friday everyone! Today Gladys is back to share a super adorable Mini-Slimline Interactive card featuring our new stamp set Beautiful Africa and its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

Gladys used one of the dies from Cinematic Shadow Box to die cut her panel. I love the gorgeous background which was blended using a combination of Distress Oxide Inks including Blueprint Sketch, Dusty Concord, Worn Lipstick and Scattered Straw.

She also took the pull tab die from Dotted Borders Slimline Pull Tab – Stand-Alone Die to create the pull tab mechanism. I love how she made the cute lion appear from behind the jeep with the pull tab – such a brilliant idea!

The sentiment “It’s time to soak up the sun” from Beautiful Africa is the perfect match for this charming little scene! Thank you so much Gladys for sharing this delightful interactive card!

I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration, and thank you for stopping by!

Ashley’s Awesome Egyptian Themed Slimline Pull Tab Card!

Hello crafty friends! I hope you all enjoyed our Reveal and Inspiration Chapter on the new Spring 2021 Release. All new products will be official in our shop TOMORROW!! Yay!!

Ashley’s back to share an awesome interactive slimline card with us! And this scene is just so much fun!

She used our Desert Landscape die and stencil set to make this gorgeous background, with lots of ink blending to make it look like a desert scene. I just love the 3-dimensional look!

Images from the Mysterious Egypt stamp set were coloured with Copic markers and cut with the coordinating dies.

I really love her idea of using the Dotted Borders Slimline Pull Tab – Stand-Alone Die to make the mummy pop out of the coffin when the pull tab is pulled, super cute!

A sentiment from the stamp set was stamped in navy blue ink and adhered on a strip to the card, which matches the navy blue back panel that she made using the Navy Blazer – Heavyweight Premium Cardstock from the newest Spectrum Collection.

Thank you Ashley! Your card is super fun and inspiring!

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

Spring 2021 New Release Schedule

Hello and welcome back to Day 4 of our Reveal & Inspirational Chapter. Our new Spring Release can now be Pre-Ordered at www.ppstamps.com! YAYYY!!!!! Grab the FREE GIFT with purchase of 80CAD+/65USD+! This key chain is super adorable and features one of our favourite characters from the Rabbit Café stamp set! So take advantage of this awesome deal while supplies last!

Please continue to visit our blog for the rest of the week for some fun and awesome projects from our talented Creative Team and myself. Today we have 2 more stand-alone die to showcase so let’s get to it! If you missed our Day 1 Intro + Giveaway, click HERE so you don’t miss out!

Today’s first showcase is the Cinematic Shadow Box stand-alone dies. Unlike other smaller shadow boxes you’ve seen, this die set allows you to create a much wider box to house even more adorable characters for the perfect scene!  With the background panel plus 4 nos. of insert tabs, you can have as many as 5 layers in your shadow box with the 2″ depth! How awesome is that?!

Check out this amazing scene Ashley created with this Cinematic Shadow Box! Her background was ink blended beautifully using Distress Oxide inks in Crackling Campfire, Wild Honey and Fossilized Amber with a touch of gold splatter. She placed her adorable images from the Beautiful Africa stamp set on the four insert tabs. She stamped out a sweet sentiment from the set onto the front decorative panel. This card is super fun and vibrant!

Stephanie designed this card with the idea of a Luau in mind. I love how she added the wavy slopes (die cut from the Desert Landscape Scene Builder dies) to the insert tabs. She also used the Mountain Landscape Scene Builder die to add the mountains silhouette on her back panel! The cute images from Aloha Hawaii stamp set were arranged on the different levels of the Cinematic Shadow Box. What an awesome scene!

Candice used images from the Beautiful Africa stamp set for her shadow box. I love how she ink blended her two side panels and all of the 5 insert tabs with Distress Oxide Ink in Cracked Pistachio to achieve the green forest look! The blue sky was also beautifully blended. The punny sentiment “You Are Ele-Phantastic” finished off the card perfectly!

I made my shadow box using stamps from Bond With Nature Canada. The best thing about this card is that the completed shadow box folds flat to fit a slimline #9 or #10 envelope! Do you see the stitched rocky mountains at the back of the card? These were created using the Mountain Landscape Scene Builder Dies + Stencil set! This new 2 in 1 set gives the perfect way for creating beautiful landscapes.

As promised, please click HERE to watch the step by step video on our YouTube Channel!

The next product we’d like to showcase today is the Dotted Borders Slimline Pull Tab stand-alone dies! This set has four different lengths of slit die cuts you can choose from to cut out tracks to form the moving mechanism. This set also includes two slimline rectangle stackables with neat and simple dotted borders that is ideal for all different types of greeting cards!

Allison made an incredible scene using the images from Beautiful Africa. She colored all images with Copics. I love how she altered the images of the jeep and the little girl, combined them with the pull tab mechanism to make it look like she was cruising in the jeep – how clever! I also like how she layered the trees for the added dimension. To finish off she added a super sweet sentiment “I love you, no lion”!

Gladys’s card is super adorable. I love how she arranged her pull tab to make the lion (from Beautiful Africa) appear from behind the bush! It sure will put a smile on the recipient’s face! I also adore the soft-tone she adopted, which adds a special warm vibe to this safari scene!

If you’ve been following since our Sneak Peeks, you would have seen my card above. I created a desert scene with images from Beautiful Africa. The three dimensional sand dunes were created using the Desert Landscape Scene Builder Dies & Stencil Set. This new set gives you the tools for making beautiful and unique landscapes, especially on slimline cards. I adhered the camel to my pull tab to make it stroll along the desert!
