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!

Visit our blog this week (9 Sep to 13 Sep) for some fun and awesome projects from myself and our talented Creative Team. Most importantly, continue reading for a chance to win some prizes! Starting today we will be showcasing our ALL NEW innovative tool, the Stencils 360°™, 11 new stencil sets, 4 new stamp sets & coordinating dies, and 2 new stand-alone dies!

Now let’s jump right in! I’m just super excited to finally introduce this new set of tools to the crafting community! These tools are perfect for creating the most gorgeous geometric patterns and overlays in just matter of minutes!

Here’s a look at this new Stencils 360°™. This system includes The Base™, 3 Guide Rings™ (sizes 8″, 6″ and 4″ in diameter), and 6 pieces of Paper Positioners (7 1/2″, 7″, 6″, 4 3/4″, 4″, 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″).

This new set of tools allow you to create with circular stencils for the first time ever!! With Stencils 360°™, it is now possible to create special layering effects, and achieve variations of beautiful backgrounds with just a single stencil!

Moreover, create attractive multi-colour stenciled backgrounds and even wreaths in the least amount of time! In the past, if you wanted to ink blend a certain element or certain areas of a stencil, you would need to do some tracing and or masking . But with our new tool, this won’t be necessary! Check out our Intro Video with step by step instructions on how to use this tool! I promise you are going to love it!

This set of tools come in a Starter Kit, in combination with the Waterspout Stencils 360°™ which will be showcased later this week, and the new Adhesive Eraser!

Stencils 360°™ Starter Kit

This Adhesive Eraser is the perfect tool for removing adhesive residue and is a super handy tool to have in your craft stash. Best of all it comes in hot pink!

Aside from Intro to our Stencils 360°™ Starter Kit, today we’ll also be focusing on three new stencils from this release. First up is the Summer Blossom Stencils 360°™.

Summer Blossom Stencils 360°™

Combined with the Stencils 360°™, this 8″ stencil helps you creates the most stunning floral background in the shortest time!

The overlaid geometric patterns in this card were created by rotating the stencil at 30° turning intervals during the ink blending process. I created this trio-toned card using Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Inks. The image in the centre is from one of our new stamp sets, which will be showcased later this week.

In the next example, I used the 6″ Paper Positioner with a 6″x6″ cardstock. I also used a turning interval of 30° on this card.

Using Picked Raspberry, I blend while referencing to the solid circles; cleaned my stencil just once; then using Wilted Violet, I made reference to the hollow circles while blending. It’s that simple!

In the below example, I rotated the stencil at 45° turning intervals. As you can see, the smaller the turning interval, the fuller and more complex the overlays get. and vice versa.

This card was done on a 4 3/4″ cardstock and you can already see the different look that the same stencil gives.

Next, we have the Mega Summer Blossom Stencils 360°™.

Mega Summer Blossom Stencils 360°™

This set is part of the Double-Barrel™ Series, as each pack contains 2 stencils, an 8″ and a 4″. These stencils can be used together or separately. Compared to the Summer Blossom, this set creates a much larger floral pattern. This 8″ stencil gives a much bigger creative space in the middle. In the card below, this centre space was decorated using the smaller 4″ barrel, which is the perfect extension to the 8″ barrel to create more intricate details.

I used a stamp image from our new release and die cut it using its coordinating stitched scalloped die which we’ll showcase later this week. You can also mix the 8″ barrel with another 4″ barrel from a different set to create a totally different look.

As you can see in the photo below, this set is also great for home décor! If you love decorating your home with handmade arts, you’ll definitely enjoy this set!

The last showcase for today is the Floral Wreath Stencils 360°™!

Floral Wreath Stencils 360°™

Most of us have built wreaths before using stamps which is lots of fun. But have you tried to build a wreath using a single stencil? My guess would be no. But if you have, it would have taken you much needed time for the tracing and masking in the past.

All three cards below were made with the Floral Wreath Stencils 360°™!

With this new tool, you are now able to blend different colors to different areas to a stencil in one go, without the need for tracing or masking!

I only had to clean my stencil once at the end of the blending process!

If you like big scripty images, you will love our stamps from this new release! Stay tuned for more showcases later this week!

Check out our Intro Video on our YouTube Channel to see how I create a card!
