Adorable Christmas Ornaments by Allison!

Hello and welcome back to the Penguin Palace blog!

If you happen to be looking for handmade Christmas Ornament ideas, look no further! Our Guest Designer Allison is sharing some adorable shaker ornaments with us today!

These shaker ornaments are just so cute! Allison used the Dahlia Stencils 360° to create two backgrounds in the traditional Christmas palette, red and green.

She die cut the backgrounds with a circle die and added a circular ornament die cut and a piece of acetate on top to form her shaker. I love the shimmery snowflakes embellishments to compliment the wintry scenes!

These adorable images and sentiment are from Sounding Joy stamp set, and they are the perfect additions to these ornaments!

Thank you so much Allison, your projects are so pretty!

Thanks for stopping by! Merry X’mas to everyone!

Ho Ho Ho! Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

Hi everyone! Christmas is less ONE WEEK away and we have a gorgeous Christmas Greeting Card to share! This card features Mr. and Mrs. Claus from Greetings From Santa and is created by our Guest Designer Yan Au!

This card is truly perfection! I love the bright & cheery color palette Yan chose and her watercoloring technique is just phenomenal!

I love the gold accents, highlights and shadows. The curved snowy background reminds me of a beautiful snow globe!

Thank you so much Yan, your creation is remarkable!

A Warm Christmas Greeting with Guest Designer Cheryl!

Happy Friday everyone! We are super excited to have Cheryl Luu Guest Designing for us today!

This gorgeous background was created using the Poinsettia Stencils 360°™ together with the Stencils 360°™ tool. By simply ink blending the individual elements on the stencil with different colors (no masking needed), and rotating it at 45 degree intervals, this beautiful poinsettia wreath is complete!

I just love the traditional Christmas color palette, so bright and festive!

The adorable Mr and Mrs Claus and the sentiment are from the Greetings From Santa stamp set. Cheryl did an awesome job coloring this image!

The pop of gold, the contrasting sentiment strip in black and the hearts embellishments tie everything together flawlessly!

Thank you so much Cheryl! Your card is amazing!

Today we are showcasing two new additions to our Stencils 360° line!

Gazania Stencils 360°

The floral design created with these stencils has close resemblance to a Gazania, also known as Treasure Flower which represents wealth and richness!

Candice used Stencil A to create this gorgeous background by spinning it at 22.5 degree intervals.

She turned this into a fun Christmas card by added a Christmas tree image from The new Sounding Joy stamp set. The sentiment is from Magical Christmas Sentiment.

I love the touch of gold accents she added behind the Christmas tree!

For my card below I started by spinning Stencil A at 15 degree interval, and followed by 22.5 degree intervals, using two different ink colors.

I then used Stencil B for inking and spun it at 30 degree intervals using a darker shade.

Finally I spun Stencil C at 30 degree intervals to add details to the center of the flower. I just love the depth that the combination of overlays create. The sentiment is from Heartfelt Notes.

Mediterranean Stencils 360°

Mediterranean style features bold designs emphasizing textures and unique color palettes. With these stencils, you can experiment with earthy tones like terracotta, yellow, turquoise, or metallic in copper and gold. You just might find your new favourite ink color combo while playing with this stylish design!

By changing the turning interval of the stencil, I was able to create two very different designs for my cards.

I used a 45 and 30 degree intervals for the first and second card respectively. I wanted to choose color palettes that would accentuate the Mediterranean vibes.

I then popped these backgrounds onto bright vibrant back panels which complement these color palettes.

All the sentiments are from Heartfelt Notes stamp set.

I clear heat embossed the sentiment in this card to make it stand out even more from the background.

And that concludes our 5 Days Countdown! Thank you so much for sticking with us this week! All of your favourite products will hit the shop tomorrow at 9AM PST! . Last chance to leave your comments on our blogs for a chance to win as giveaway closes TONIGHT at 9:00p.m. PST!
