Happy New Year! A Charming Underwater Scene with Ashley

Hello! Happy New Year everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted here on the PP blog! I miss you all so much! I’ve been busy getting all of the pre-orders on the Stencils 360°™ shipped out, and I’m so happy that I get to share the joy of crafting with this new tool together with you!

Today we have Ashley’s fun card featuring one of our earlier stamp sets, The More We Get Together.

Ashley chose a panel of light blue cardstock cut with the second-largest Dots-Meets-Dashes rectangle stand-alone die set. Combining the Stencils 360°TM and the Waterspout circular stencil, she ink blended light blue ink and white pigment ink in alternating sequence to create this wonderful underwater background!

I just love the tone-on-tone effect and how this pattern mimics the bubbles under water surrounding all these cute images!

She stamped and coloured some images from the The More We Get Together stamp set and arranged them onto the card panel, adhering them with liquid glue or foam squares to give it more dimension. She used the sentiment “You have my seal of approval” which coordinates with the adorable seal image.

She also die cut another panel for her card base using patterned paper with the largest die from Dots-Meets-Dashes rectangle stand-alone die set.

For the finishing touch, she added a few droplets of embellishments to mimic the look of more bubbles!

Thank you Ashley for sharing your awesome creation! It’s so much fun!

Thank you for sticking around with the Penguin Palace blog, wish you all a great start to the year 2021!

A Colorful Mermaid Just Because Card by Jo!

Hi guys, Happy Friday! Let’s kick off this weekend with Jo’s adorable mermaid card for today!

Jo made a lovely scene using both old and new stamp sets from our shop, including the Let’s Catch Up, Pretty Mermaid Planner and The More We Get Together! Check out her video tutorial over on our YouTube Channel and give it a like!

Jo blended the beautiful ocean using Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. And she used Walnut Stain for the seabed layering.

The cute mermaid on the treadmill is from the Pretty Mermaid Planner stamp set, while the other two doing yoga and weight lifting are from the Let’s Catch Up stamp set!

I love that she added some sea creatures and ocean related images from The More We Get Together to complete her scene! These cute images easily go together with the mermaids and the overall look is flawless!

The sentiment “Let’s Go Exercising” is also from Let’s Catch Up!

Thanks Jo for this wonderful message! Speaking of, I believe my yoga session is long overdue!

Anja’s Interactive Underwater Scene!

Hello crafty friends! Today Anja is sharing with us a fun card featuring The More We Get Together stamp set and coordinating dies.

All the images were beautifully colored using Copics markers. She cut her two card panels using the largest dies from the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangles Overlays and the Cross Stitched and Dots Large Ractangles Overlays. She then used a wave boarder die from My Favourite Things on the bottom panel.

The Cross Stitched and Dots upper panel was blended using Distress Oxide Ink Squeezed Lemonade. And with a sunray stencil, she created gorgeous sunray beams on top of that with the same ink, but this time adding a bit more pressure while blending to get the darker hue.

The wavy panel was blended using Mermaid Lagoon and Broken China. She then added some white pigment ink to extend those sunray beams into the ocean!

I love that she added an action wobbler for the blow fish to make it even more interesting! See the cute fish in action below!

Finally she added the sentiment, “You Blow Meow Away” to finish off!

Thanks Anja! I love this cute underwater scene!

Thanks for stopping by everyone!

Ashley’s Magical Underwater Scene!

Hi there! Ashley is back today with a just because card of a beautiful underwater scene!

Ashley used the cute pretty mermaid from the Get Well Soon stamp set, and images from The More We Get Together stamp set to create this gorgeous card!

I love the background she created using watercolors. The largest die from Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays was used to cut her panel. She added some white paint splatter for some added texture. The sentiment from the Sending Kisses Your Way was stamped onto a thin strip of cardstock and adhered onto the card. 

I like that she added some clear Tonic Nuvo drops around the scene to mimic the look of water bubbles.

Thank you Ashley your card is so adorable!

A Delightful Summer Scene Card with Davina!

Hey everyone! Davina is back to share with us a super delightful summer scene card!

Davina combined cool images from the Summer Sunshine stamp set and The More We Get Together stamp set to create this unique and incredible scene!

She stamped a bunch of images from both sets and colored them up using bright summery colors. I love how the cool kitty is suntanning on the beach and at the same time, having all the cute creatures swimming in the ocean!

She used the largest die from the Cross Stitched and Dots Large Rectangle Overlays on her back panel for the wonderful boarder detail. She cut the stitched layers from several panels of Bristol smooth cardstock, and inked them up using Distress Oxide Inks.

I just love the splash of water and the watery inks on the cards for the added texture.

She used the sentiment, “Seas the Day” from the Summer Sunshine stamp set on the sand layer then adhered all of the pieces together.  

Thank you so much Davina for this lovely scene. It is so vibrant and lively!  I really love how she composed her card into a split level scene where you can see both the beach and the underwater!

Thank for stopping by, have a wonderful day!
