Sharon Y.7 Comments

Hello and welcome back to Day 5 of Reveal Week! Time files! Tomorrow will already be our Reveal Wrap Up and this week’s Giveaway Winners announcement! Our new Spring/Summer Release can be Pre-Ordered at www.ppstamps.com! If you missed our Day 1 Reveal & Giveaway, please click HERE! You have until 9pm PST TONIGHT to enter!

Today we are focusing on two new products, first up is the Fancy Gift Bow Stencils 360°!

You’ll be amazed by what these simple patterns can create when spun!  Each of the 8″ stencil alone make beautiful ornaments.  Then add some sparkles using the 6″ design, or overlay the 4″ stencil for a different look!  

Today we have two wonderful Guest Designers sharing their creations with you. First we have Jeannie!

I am in love this rainbow hue card! Jeannie just used one of the 8″ stencil alone on this card, but it already creates this incredible overlay effect with all the different colors! Gorgeous!

I love how she added holographic cardstock strips in a star like pattern for the extra shine!!

The cute penguin and sentiment here are from the Penguin Agenda stamp set!

Next we have Jessica‘s card! She blended Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides wth one of the 8″ stencil from the set, achieving this dreamy look!

Then for the sparkle, she applied some iridescent glitter gel using the 6″ snowflake design stencil to the center of the blended pattern!

I love the gold heat embossed sentiments against black cardstock. They are from the So Blessed stamp set. The matching color gems finished the card perfectly!

You ASKED. We LISTENED! We are releasing more BIG sentiment dies! Our next showcase is the You Make Me Smile Stand-alone die.

First is Mimi’s card! She die cut this sentiment twice to create more dimension.

I really like the light pink and cyan color combo! Love the white gel pen accents on these bold letters!

The cute images and Ping Me Anytime sentiment are from the Penguin Agenda stamp set!

I’ve also made a card for today’s showcase. I kind of went for a non-traditional color palette this time.

I used the the You Make Me Smile Stand-alone die on Lemon Cake – Heavyweight Premium Cardstock, die cut it multiple times and stack them together to create a bit more dimension. I also die cut it on The Sandstone Series – Princess Decor – Premium Fine Paper for a shadow effect, then adhered everything on some dark brown patterned paper. My card base was also made with Lemon Cake – Heavyweight Premium Cardstock.

I copic colored some adorable bears from Miniature Teddy Bear stamp set and popped them on my card with a bit of foam tape, finished it off with some matching color gems!

There you have our inspirations for today! If you haven’t done so, head over to our Day 1 post and participate in our BLOG + IG GIVEAWAYS! This is your LAST CHANCE! You have until 9:00pm PST tonight to enter!

I truly hope you’ve enjoyed today’s showcase of the Fancy Gift Bow Stencils 360° and the You Make Me Smile Stand-alone die!

Tomorrow will be our Reveal Wrap Up and this week’s Giveaway Winners announcement so be sure to come back! Then in June, we will take a look at some of the other products from our new release with more Giveaways, stay tuned!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Spring/Summer 2022 New Release – Reveal Week – Day 4

Sharon Y.5 Comments

Hello and welcome back to Day 4 of Reveal Week! Our new Spring/Summer Release can now be Pre-Ordered at www.ppstamps.com! If you missed our Day 1 Reveal & Giveaway, please click HERE!

Today and tomorrow, we will be showcasing some of our newest circular stencils from the Stencils 360° collection! If you haven’t heard of the Stencils 360° yet, don’t miss out as you will be amazed by what it can do!

Today we are focusing on the new Mandalas Bundle Stencils 360°! This set includes 8 stencils in sizes 4”, 6” and 8” diameter. Even though they are designed to work in pairs, you can definitely mix and match them to create totally different designs!

Just by inking different colors on the separate elements of the stencil and rotating it, you can easily achieve a colorful design without any masking needed AND without having to clean your stencil during the process!

We are thrilled to have two extremely talented Guest Designers creating with our 360° collection for this week’s reveal. One of them is Cheryl who made a trio of cards to share with us today! Her first card was created using both the large and small stencils from Pair D.

I am loving this blue palette! As you can see, the smaller stencil design is a perfect fit to the centre of the large stencil design. However you can definitely switch to another small stencil when pairing it with the large one. It’s fun to explore the different options!

She finished off the card by adding the scripty Thank you sentiment in the center which is from the So Blessed stamp set.

Below is an example on how you can mix the smaller stencils in your design! Cheryl used the large stencil from Pair B with the small stencil from Pair C to create this background. She rotated the large stencil at 30° (jumping from circle to circle) and then completed the center portion using the small stencil from Pair C.

Moreover, by simply changing the turning interval on the larger stencil, she could have achieved a whole new design! And this is a great thing about our Stencils 360° collection, they provide so many possibilities! I find that this background goes so well with this cute dancer and the fire torch images, all from the Aloha Hawaii stamp sets!

I love the black sentiment strip for a nice contrast!

For her final card she used Pair A (both the large and small stencil). I just love this sweet background which sets the scene for this cute mermaid from the Let’s Catch Up stamp set.

Love the coloring on the mermaid’s hair, gorgeous!

We are also very grateful to have Allison who is Guest Designing for us today. Allison made a trio of cards today! I am really impressed by the designs that she achieved by mixing and matching the stencils from the set!

For this first card, she layered all of Pair A and B, together with the large stencil from Pair C. It looks stunning! Her choice of colors go seamlessly together.

For her next card, she combined the large stencils from both Pair A and D, and added the small stencil design from Pair C. I just love how it turned out!

The stitched circle die cut really suits this design!

Below is her third card where she combined Pair A, with the large stencils from both Pairs C and D! Even though there is a lot of layering here, I really think the color palette makes it work!

All of the sentiments on Allison’s cards are from the So Blessed stamp set.

Finally we have Candice’s creation. In contrary to above designs, she demonstrated how the large stencil can be used separately on its own! Here she used just the large stencil from Pair A to create this beautiful design.

I love how she laid out the multiple mandalas on her card using the different color combinations, super pretty! The sentiment is from Unity and Friendship Quotes.

There you have 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 May 8, 9:00pm PST to enter. We really hope you will play along with us! Winners will be announced on our Blog and on Instagram on May 9.

I truly hope you’ve enjoyed today’s showcase of the Mandalas Bundle Stencils 360°! This stencil set really is super versatile and gives you endless possibilities!!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for showcases on more wonderful products and projects!Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a lovely day!

new release 2022 day 3

Spring/Summer 2022 New Release – Reveal Week – Day 3

Sharon Y.6 Comments

Hello and welcome back to Day 3 of Reveal Week! Our new Spring/Summer Release can now be Pre-Ordered at www.ppstamps.com! If you missed our Day 1 Reveal & Giveaway, please click HERE!

Over the next two days, we will be showcasing some of our newest circular stencils from the Stencils 360° collection! So for those who are fans of this innovative tool, stay with us! If you haven’t heard of this tool yet, don’t miss out as you will be amazed by what it can do!

Today we are focusing on a brand new 6″ x 8″ stamp set Modern Deluxe Alphabets, along with its Coordinating Stencil Templates. With the edged guidelines around the little windows on these stencils, you can easily pop in and align the individual stamps from the Modern Deluxe Alphabets to create the coolest letters background! Let me show you what I mean with some samples below!

I made a trio of cards for today. I combined the Modern Deluxe Alphabet stamp set with a different Template for each of my card.

For my first card I taped my A2 size card to the back of Template 2 (lining it up with the edged corner guides on the stencil). Then I put them into my MISTI tool and start positioning my letter stamps. The edged guidelines around the windows can easily help with getting the perfect alignment!

I stamped out the word LOVE using Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear heat embossed them. Then I used Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxides on my stencil template to add some shades behind the letters. I then used the Rain of Hearts stencil gradually blending lighter towards the centre of my card.

Finally I finished it with some gems for the extra sparkles!

For my next card I used this stamp set with Template 1 in which there are twelve square cut-outs.

I knew I wanted black letters against a clean white background for the biggest contrast so I stamped out the letters again with Versafine Onyx Black ink and left the background white. I trimmed off the edges and popped it onto kraft cardstock and added some really cool sparkly star shaped embellishments! And by the way, you will find this cool embellishment on our website along with tons of other gorgeous new ones real soon ^.^!

For my last card, I used Template 3 where there are six square cut-outs.

Since there are only six letters on this card, I wanted a bold background to accompany my THANKU design. I used Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink along with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide on our new The Rose Close-Up stencil. I trimmed the sides and pop my card onto a matching color Vintage Beetle cardstock.

I added some beautiful clear hearts embellishment (coming soon to our shop) to finish off the card. I thought they mimic dew drops with an elegant twist!

There you have my 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 May 8, 9:00pm PST to enter. We really hope you will play along with us! Winners will be announced on our Blog and on Instagram on May 9.

I truly hope you’ve enjoyed today’s showcase of the Modern Deluxe Alphabets along with its Coordinating Templates. These templates are super easy to use and you will have so much fun playing with these sets together!

We will continue to have lots of wonderful products and projects to showcase this week so don’t forget to visit us again tomorrow for our next post! Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a lovely day!

Hearts Bouquet Stencils 360°

Card Duos Featuring the Hearts Bouquet Stencils 360°

Sharon Y.1 Comment

Hello crafty friends! Before we get into today’s cards, I’d like to announce that our very first Penguin Palace Challenge will be happening TOMORROW! We’re launching a brand new Blog in which all of our future Challenges will be hosted. Play along in this challenge for a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate! Stay tuned for more details!

Today I have for you a new video, featuring the new Hearts Bouquet stencil from our latest release!

This stencil is so much fun to play with. You can choose different rotations to create different looks for your cards. For today, I made a card duo using one 7 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ large canvas cut from the Essentials – Smooth Bright White 100lb. Heavy Weight Cardstock.

I used a turning interval of 30° for my design. For my first round of inking, I used Speckled Egg on the irregular shaped cluster of hearts and Tattered Rose on the big outlined heart while jumping from one solid circle to the next. Then I used Blueprint Sketch on my second next round of inking while jumping from one outlined circle to the next.

After completing the artwork, I used the small dotted rectangle from the Cinematic Shadow Box dies, to cut my canvas into 2 cards. The heat embossed sentiments are from Heartfelt Notes. I used Navy Blazer and Vintage Beetle colored cardstock for my backing panels.

Watch my step-by-step video tutorial over on our YouTube Channel!

I hope you like these inspirations. Hope you’ll try them out for yourself! Don’t forget to tag your projects using #penguinpalaceprojects when uploading them onto social media!

Spring 2021 New Release – Reveal & Inspirational Chapter – Day 1 (GIVEAWAY POST)

Sharon Y.53 Comments
Spring 2021 New Release Schedule

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to our Spring 2021 New Release Reveal & Inspirational Chapter! Today is Day 1 and THIS is also our GIVEAWAY Post! Our new Spring Release can now be Pre-Ordered at www.ppstamps.com! YAYYY!!!!! You will be eligible to receive a 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!

Visit our blog this week (22 Mar to 27 Mar) for some fun and awesome projects from our talented Creative Team and myself. Most importantly, continue reading for a chance to win some prizes! Starting today we will be showcasing our 5 new stamp sets & coordinating dies, 6 new stand-alone dies, 2 stand-alone dies + stencil sets, and our new collection of cardstocks!

Now let’s jump right in! Today is our showcase of Bond With Nature Canada stamp set & coordinating dies, Mysterious Egypt stamp set & coordinating dies, and our 2 in 1 stand-alone dies + stencil sets, Mountains Landscape Scene Builder and Desert Landscape Scene Builder!

Our Creative Team has made the most amazing samples! We also have new videos near the end of this post and over on our YouTube Channel. Be sure to watch them to get more inspirations on these sets!

Each of the new stamp sets in this release is themed to a unique destination “Around the World”! Ashley created a fun scene with our Bond With Nature Canada stamp set & coordinating dies. Her card was assembled on a mini-slimline background measuring 3.5 x 6″. The background was ink-blended with Distress Oxide inks and I love the sparkling splatters that were added to all the layers. Camping is one of the outdoor activities that Canadian loves and there are so many adorable images you can choose from this set to create a fun camping scene! Ashley‘s scene is so adorable, what a fun way to wish someone Happy Birthday!

How adorable is Stephanie’s happy scene! I love how she added the marshmallows on sticks on both the characters! Looks like they are having such a great time! The mountain & landscapes were created using the die cuts from the Mountain Landscape Scene Builder set.

Mountain Landscape Scene Builder Set – Die Cuts

I love the addition of the little beaver (one of the most iconic animals of Canada!) and the punny sentiment is just so much fun!

The Mountain Landscape Scene Builder set also comes with this large stencil that will help you create beautiful landscape details such as grassy hill highlights, snowy hill tops, or even rocky mountains!

Mountain Landscape Scene Builder Set – Stencil

Stay tuned for our new video which will be released a little later this week!

Candice created a gorgeous scene using the Mysterious Egypt stamp set! All of her images were colored using Copic Markesr with the additional of some gold Gelly Roll accents, and die-cut using the coordinating dies. She made a mini-slimline measuring 6 3/8 x 3 5/8″. The front dotted borders panel was die-cut using one of the rectangle dies from the Cinematic Shadow Box Stand Alone Die which will be showcased later this week. I love how she stamped out the pyramid images with brown ink which really goes well with her blended hilly slopes background. Before adhering her card onto the card base, she ran a bronze paint pen around the edges, which is really cool as it adds some extra shine that matches the gold on the mini characters’ outfits!

Allison’s card is super cool! She used several different blue shades of Ranger alcohol ink on yupo paper, along with some gold mixative. She also pressed gold foil into the alcohol ink piece when it was almost dry so that it would stick to some of the spots that were still wet. I really love how she stamped the camel with versamark ink onto gold card stock and then heat embossed with white powder! The combination of gold cardstock and white power create such a sharp look! And I love the added touch of gemstones! I also love how she placed her other gold heat embossed images diagonally with partial die-cutting!

Finally, we have here my card. I made this slimline pull tab interactive card using the Mysterious Egypt stamp set and the Dotted Borders Slimline Pull Tab stand-alone dies which will be showcased that later this week. Check out my video below or on our YouTube channel to see how I created the desert landscape and the three dimensional sand dunes background using the Desert Scene Builder Dies + Stencil (2 in 1) set! This new set gives you the tools for making beautiful and unique landscapes, especially on slimline cards!
