Sunbird Spark Joyride and Giggles

Joyride & Giggles Inspiration with Kary and Mimi

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

There’s something magical about the sound of laughter on a carnival ride. That mix of excitement, a little fear, and pure joy shared with friends. The Joyride & Giggles stamp and die set was created to capture that exact feeling and bring it onto paper!

🌟 A Playful Stamp & Die Set

This set celebrates fun and friendship with whimsical images: a drop tower called Stardrop, kids with joyful expressions, and even a sweet little bunny companion. The coordinating sentiments are lighthearted and encouraging, perfect for letting someone know they bring laughter and joy into your life.

🎨 Cardmaking Inspiration

Kary’s Carnival Scene

Kary’s card feels like a day at the fair. With the Stardrop ride as the centerpiece, bright colors, and layered details, she created a scene full of life and movement. The background was given extra depth with the Diamond Dusk 3D Embossing Folder, adding a textured, almost architectural look that beautifully frames the playful images. Her sentiment, “Sending thrills & giggles your way!”, perfectly matches the spirit of the design.

Mimi’s Ride-or-Cry Card

Mimi took a playful approach, highlighting the characters’ expressive faces on the tower ride. Her witty sentiment, “You’re my favorite ride-or-cry! Screaming with joy just thinking of you!”, adds both humor and heart, reminding us that joy always feels bigger when it’s shared!

✨ See the Ride in Action!
One of the most delightful parts of this set is how it can be brought to life with an interactive element. With a simple pull-tab, the Stardrop ride goes up and down, just like the real thing! 🎢 We filmed a short reel to show the movement, because sometimes, seeing the ride bounce and drop brings the giggles to life even more than a still photo can. 💛

🎡 Cardmaking as a Way to Relive Joyful Moments

Crafting with Joyride & Giggles is about more than creating pretty cards. It’s about remembering the little things, the thrill of a ride, the giggles of childhood, the way laughter can connect us. Sitting down to stamp and color these characters feels like reliving those moments, and sharing them in a handmade card passes that joy on to someone else. Whether you build a full carnival scene or keep it simple with one smiling character, each project becomes a tiny celebration of fun and friendship.

This stamp definitely invites us to craft with playfulness and heart, reminding us that even the smallest creations can carry big joy!

Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting!

A Super Fun Interactive Card With Mimi!

Sharon Y.2 Comments

Hi friends! Today Mimi is back to share a cool interactive encouragement card with us! Her card features the latest Dream Big stamp set and coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

This card is so clever! As you pull on the tab, the panoramic view of the runway changes to the sky, mimicking the airplane taking off!

Mimi first die cut two large frames using the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays. To prepare for the interactive element, she further die cut the them using the pull tab notch die from Dotted Borders Slimline Pull Tab die.

She stamped and die cut the large cockpit image from Dream Big, while masking the clouds and also trimming them off afterwards.

On one of the large cut panels, she cut an opening to fit the front window of the plane. She adhered the die cut Dream Big image to the panel and glued a piece of acetate behind it.

Then on a separate cardstock, she created a runway and sky scene, using the clouds from the Dream Big image. She then created and attached the pull tab mechanism, and adhered the second frame panel as the backing.

Check out this YouTube Shorts to see this interactive card in action! I hope you enjoy this inspiration!

Thank you so much Mimi! Your card is so awesome!

An Interactive Cinematic Shadow Box – A Busy Street Scene!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi! I hope all of you are having a great week! Today I am sharing one of the biggest shadow scene I’ve ever made! This card is themed around a busy street with lots of fun elements!

I used the Cinematic Shadow Box stand alone die cut to create the backbone of my card. You can have up to 4 tabs in this shadow box which gives great dimension and lots of room to fit ample stamped images!

I combined images from a bunch of different stamp sets including The Sweetest Truck, Rabbit Cafe, Happy Track and Field (Chapter 2), Fun Adventure, and Sweet Ride.

I thought why not take it to the next level and combine this shadow box with an interactive element! I used the Dotted Borders Slimline Pull Tab – Stand-Alone Die to make the Ice Cream truck move down this busy street!

Check out this card in action below!

I used the Sidewalk Scene Builder – Stand-Alone Die to die cut the two sidewalks on The Sandstone Series – Smokey Eyes – Heavyweight Premium Cardstock and then added splashes of paints. For the background wall, I blended Distress Oxide Inks on the Mega Blocks stencil and die cut it using the large dotted border die from the Cinematic Shadow Box.

I just love making these mini scenes on this shadow box! Acetate played a big part in the assembly of this card.

I used acetate for a couple of the tabs in the box so that the road background could show through. I added acetate to mimic the Ice Cream Truck’s windows. I also used it for placing the music notes that are coming from the ice-cream truck!

To keep everything in perspective, I laid out the images so that larger characters go near the front and smaller ones go at the back.

I stamped out a sentiment from The Sweetest Truck on the front tab of the box which I had trimmed down to show more of the sidewalk at the bottom.

I hope you enjoyed this inspiration and thank you so much for stopping by!

Penguin Palace Stamps challenge#1

A Friendship Card Inspiration from Candice

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Happy Friday crafty friends! I’d like to remind all that we are having our first ever Penguin Palace Challenge over on our PP Challenge Blog. Enter before 13th May for a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate to our store!

Today Candice have for us a beautiful friendship card inspiration. She used the Twist-n-Pop Surprise Stand-Alone die to create this fun interactive card.

She created two mini-scenes on each of the rectangle die cut panels by stamping, masking, some of the adorable critters from the My BFF stamp set. She ink blended the background using Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo, and Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Inks, and then removed the masks to add some copic coloring.

She ink blended the side decorative panels with the same distress oxide inks. These colors match perfectly to this month’s Color Palette Inspiration for our Monthly Challenge!

To finish off, she added two tabs with sentiments from the My BFF stamp set. I love the white highlights she added to the stamped images to make them pop! The coolest thing is that this pop-up card folds flat and fits into a 6 x 6″ envelope for mailing!

Thank you so much for this super delightful inspiration Candice!

Now is your turn, don’t forget to upload your entry on our Challenge Blog and your social media by 13th May and hashtag using #penguinpalaceprojects!
