All Colors are Beautiful

A Delightful Rainbow Hue Slimline by Mimi!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hello crafty friends! Friday is just around the corner, hope you’re having a great week!

Mimi is sharing a charming slimline card with us today!

Starting with the background, Mimi ink blended these beautiful rainbow stripes and dots using the Hieroglyphs stencil! I adore this idea!

The chain of hearts is created using an image from Inseparable stamp set, while the sentiment is from the Unity and Friendship Quotes stamp set and it ties in with the background seamlessly!

I love how she stacked the adorable bears into a pyramid, which are from the Miniature Teddy Bear stamp set. The color palette on these cuties matches the background perfectly!

I love how she used the small images from all of Penguin Agenda, Inseparable, Sweetest Truck to create these cute little designs on the bears’ tummies – so clever!!

The opened jar of floating hearts are also from Inseparable.

Thank you so much Mimi, your card is super sweet!

Sending Warm Hugs … from Candice!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Candice is with us today sharing a Just Because card with a theme inspired by this month’s Penguin Palace card challange!

Her card was inspired by our Challenge #14: Geometric!

She started by blending a rainbow background using Distress Oxide inks. I just love this rainbow hue!

Then she blended a few slightly darker shades of the same colors through our new Hieroglyphs stencil to create a tone on tone geometric-inspired background! This versatile stencil lets you create an interesting background for any type of card!

She stamped and Copic-colored one of the images from the Inseparable stamp set and cut them out using the coordinating die.

Next, she white heat-embossed the “Sending Warm Hugs” sentiment from the Unity and Friendship Quotes onto some gray cardstock and die cut it with the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts. I love how this coordinating die trims closely to the letters for a very detailed finished look. She then finished her card with some sparkly embellishments!

We love seeing your creations and would love for you to join us in this month’s Challenge. All you have to do to enter is use the challenge theme to create a project that features at least one Penguin Palace product as the focal point. Full challenge rules can be found here.

Fun Card Featuring Let’s Meet IRL by Candice!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi Crafty Friends! Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! As we gradually head to the new ‘normal’ here in Vancouver, we have today a fun card to share with you!

Candice used the Let’s Meet IRL stamp set to create this adorable card inspired by this month’s sketch challenge!

I love the patterned paper she created by stamping several of the small images from Let’s Meet IRL using Tumbled Glass distress oxide ink onto a black cardstock background.

She used Distress Oxide inks to blend a purple tone galaxy onto her die-cut circular center piece and added the cute pups and wrapped gift from the set which she die-cut with the coordinating dies.

For a contrast to the dark background she added a white sentiment strip to finish off.

Thank you Candice for this charming inspiration!

Greeting card

Stefanie’s Out of This World Greeting Card!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hope you all had a great weekend! To start off this week, we have Stefanie’s adorable slimline creation!

This card features the the funny little waving alien from Let’s Meet IRL and it’s coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

I love this beautiful blended sky background which was created using Distress Oxides in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot; while the ground was blended using Pumice Stone and Black Soot.

The little alien is from the Let’s Meet IRL was stamped out 7 times and colored in 7 different colors using a mix of Copics and Ohuhus.

I just love the little rainbow color line up on top of the darker background!

The extra dimension she achieved by stacking 5 layers of die-cut alphabets together really make a difference! I love that the letters were also watercolored in a sparkly white which made them stand out even more!

Thank you Stefanie for this super charming card! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Sharon Y.1 Comment

Hello, thanks so much for stopping by! And we’re thrilled to have Yan Au guest designing for us today!

Her card features the Cinematic shadow box stand alone die, which is a the perfect way to create a grand & impactful scene! I love the way she colored these adorable little images from the Mysterious Egypt stamp set!

This shadow box can house four super long tabs that are positioned at different levels, which makes it super easy to lay out all the images! I love how she drew and colored a mega pyramid in the backdrop which adds a special interest to the card!

I also adore the patterned paper that she created on the back panel with the tiny images from the set! She also added a sentiment on the front decorative panel to finish off her card!

Thank you so much Yan, this card is so awesome!
