Sunbird Spark Winter Inspiration Week - Day 2

Winter Release Inspiration Week & Giveaway – Day 2

Hello and welcome to Sunbird Spark’s Winter Release Inspiration Week – Day 2! If you’re just joining us, know that we’re giving away our best-selling Stencils 360°™ Friends Ed. stenciling tool in this Inspiration Week! Please make sure you leave a comment below AND on the rest of our Inspiration Week’s blog posts to play along (more on how to play along on our Giveaway HERE!).

Let’s start today off by introducing the Little Birdie stamp set & coordinating Crisp Cuts! This stamp set is perfect for all your everyday card needs! Featuring adorable bird designs and fun sentiments, this set is ideal for spreading happiness and joy to your loved ones.

Check out Mimi’s adorable card:

I’m captivated by the vibrant colors of the images and the soft, blended background. The way the background seamlessly flows is so refreshing, perfectly complementing the charming little birds!

For my card, I decided to use the plaid design paper from the Spring Scents Patterned Paper Pack. I layered it onto gold cardstock, which really enhances the colors in the patterned paper. I then Copic-colored my images from the Little Birdie stamp set and added a few clear, heart-shaped gems for a perfect finishing touch.

For all of you who’ve been eagerly awaiting our new 360° stencils, the wait is finally over! This release features five stunning designs, and today we’re spotlighting the beautiful Lily Garden Stencils 360°™.

You asked, and we listened! Many customers have shared how much they love the Centerpiece Stencils 360°™ and expressed a desire for a smaller version. That’s why we created the Lily Garden Stencils 360°™—a perfect blend of artistry and size!

This stencil is 6″ in diameter and compatible with both the Stencils 360°™ Original and the Friends Ed.

Take a look at Ann’s beautiful creation! I love the soft pastel tones she chose. In just three turns, she effortlessly created a colorful floral background—no masking or layering stencils required! It doesn’t get any easier than that. She paired this stunning background with the new Hugs stand-alone dies. These versatile dies are perfect for scrapbooking and cardmaking, adding a heartfelt touch to any project. Both dies in this set cut out the exact same size, allowing for a neat, stackable finish!



For my card, I used a 5″x5″ panel combined with my Stencils 360°™ Friends Ed. to give my Lily Garden Stencils 360°™ a spin. I later trimmed it down and left a 1/2″ border around to make a 5″x5″ square card. I selected gold cardstock for my card to enhance the colorful floral design, giving it a sophisticated and elegant look. The sentiment is from So Blessed.

Head to our YouTube Channel to watch how I put together this card!

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s inspirations! We will continue to have more wonderful products and projects to showcase this week so don’t forget to visit us again tomorrow!

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a lovely day!

Exciting Launch Alert: Our New Site, Fresh Collections, and a Special Giveaway!

Hello, friends!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our rebranded website is officially LIVE! Today is extra special for me, as it’s also my birthday! 🎉🎂

A huge thank you to everyone for your patience over the past few months while we worked through this transition. We are beyond excited to share our new name, new look, and all the amazing things we’ve been working on—hope you love them as much as we do!

I’m excited to share some of the highlights of what’s now available:

Our Winter 2024 collection is now available for Pre-Order! In that, we’ve launched a brand-new line of dye ink collection. Each color palette is thoughtfully curated with a focus on Color Psychology to celebrate the unique ways we connect to our true colors! We have partnered with color expert Charlotte Cropper on this, and we couldn’t be more proud of the results. Stay tuned for more fun facts about our inks in the coming weeks, and in the meantime, don’t forget to take our COLOR QUIZ to discover your true tonal palette!

Speaking of inks, we are also launching a stunning Patterned Paper collection that pairs perfectly with our ink colors! Our Four Seasons 6×6” Patterned Paper set is designed to coordinate seamlessly with our four ink tonal groups, making your cardmaking and scrapbooking projects effortless and beautiful!

As you explore our new website, you’ll also notice a dedicated page for our best-selling Stencils 360°™ tool, showcasing its versatility and endless creative possibilities.

Plus, we’re excited to introduce our Club Spark Rewards Program! Sign up now to earn “Sparks” and unlock exclusive perks, discounts, and rewards on future orders.

We’ve also added Afterpay to our website! Now you can enjoy the convenience of paying for your purchases in 4 easy installments, making it even easier to shop and spread out the cost.

And here’s more good news—it’s Black Friday! To celebrate, we’re offering 15% off all NEW products (yes, you read that right!) until Monday, December 2nd. Don’t miss your chance to grab the new goodies at a great price! Use Code BLACK15 at checkout!

I’ll be honest, this rebranding process has been challenging. Like many small business owners, I wear a lot of hats, and these past few months have been especially tough with both of my parents being ill and in the hospital, while also juggling life with my 5-year-old. Thankfully, they’re both on the road to recovery, but the delays did push back some of our planned projects. Instead of launching everything at once, we’ve decided to extend the fun into Inspiration Week (Dec 4 – 9) after our official website launch! Mark your calendars—there will be lots of creative projects from our Design Team, along with more chances to win exciting prizes!

TODAY, to celebrate the launch of our new website, we’re giving away a $40 Gift Card to our shop! Simply leave a comment below and let us know what you think about our new site and products. One lucky winner will be chosen at random and announced on December 4th, during our Inspiration Week festivities! If you’d like an extra chance to win, head over to our Instagram account for another Giveaway!

Thank you so much for your continued support since the early days of Penguin Palace, and for standing by us as we transition into our exciting new chapter as Sunbird Spark. Your loyalty and encouragement mean the world to us!
