I’m so excited to finally share our new July release! It’s filled with products to help you create beautiful backgrounds, interactive cards, elegant foiled accents, and handmade projects you’ll love creating and sharing.
From intricate new Stencils 360™ designs and playful MiniSpins™ to coordinating stamps, dies, foil embellishments, toner designs, and my brand-new 360 Calm & Create™ online course, I hope this collection inspires you to explore new techniques and enjoy every moment at your craft table.
To celebrate launch day, I thought I’d share a new card featuring the Blossom Sprinkles 8″ stencil. I paired the soft floral background with a MiniSpin™ to create a fun interactive surprise. It’s such a simple design, but the little spinning image adds so much charm!
Below you’ll find a closer look at everything that’s new to spark your next project. I can’t wait to see what you create!
After months of designing, testing, creating, and making cards, I’m so excited to finally share a little more preview of what’s arriving this Wednesday, July 29.
This collection has been especially meaningful to create. It brings together intricate 360° stencil designs, coordinating stamps and dies, beautiful interactive elements, and something completely new for Sunbird Spark…
✨ Our very first online course!
I can’t wait to show you everything.
A Collection Designed to Inspire Creativity
This release is all about possibilities.
Whether you love clean and simple cards or detailed layered designs, you’ll discover new ways to create with the Stencils 360°+™ system.
Inside the new release you’ll find:
🌸 Brand new 360° stencils
✨ Coordinating clear stamps and dies
🎡 MiniSpins™ interactive spinners
💛 New layering stencils
💌 Beautiful sentiments and embellishments
One of my favourite things about these products is that they’re designed to work together, but each one also stands beautifully on its own.
Every Card Tells a Different Story
One of the greatest joys of designing new products is seeing how everyone interprets them differently. The same stencil can become a bold geometric background, a delicate floral, or an elegant focal point simply by changing colours, spacing, or layering techniques.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been having so much fun creating with the new collection. Here are a few of the projects I’ve made so far. I hope they spark ideas for your own creations!
As I was making these samples, I kept discovering new combinations, different spinning intervals, and unexpected colour palettes that completely changed the look of each design.
I hope they inspire you to imagine what you’ll create too.
Introducing Our First Online Course
One of the biggest milestones for Sunbird Spark is something I’ve wanted to create for a long time.
360° Calm & Create™
This isn’t just a cardmaking class.
It’s an invitation to slow down, enjoy the rhythm of creating, and experience how simple repeated patterns can become surprisingly calming.
Throughout the course we’ll create four mandala-inspired projects while exploring themes of:
Balance
Present
Flow
Breathe
Whether you create cards every day or simply want a peaceful creative session, I hope this course becomes something you return to again and again.

Our new Spring/Summer Release can be Pre-Ordered at www.ppstamps.com! If you missed our Day 1 Reveal & Giveaway, please click HERE! You have until 9pm PST TONIGHT to enter!
You’ll be amazed by what these simple patterns can create when spun! Each of the 8″ stencil alone make beautiful ornaments. Then add some sparkles using the 6″ design, or overlay the 4″ stencil for a different look!
Today we have two wonderful Guest Designers sharing their creations with you. First we have Jeannie!
I am in love this rainbow hue card! Jeannie just used one of the 8″ stencil alone on this card, but it already creates this incredible overlay effect with all the different colors! Gorgeous!
I love how she added holographic cardstock strips in a star like pattern for the extra shine!!
The cute penguin and sentiment here are from the Penguin Agenda stamp set!
Next we have Jessica‘s card! She blended Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides wth one of the 8″ stencil from the set, achieving this dreamy look!
Then for the sparkle, she applied some iridescent glitter gel using the 6″ snowflake design stencil to the center of the blended pattern!
I love the gold heat embossed sentiments against black cardstock. They are from the So Blessed stamp set. The matching color gems finished the card perfectly!
You ASKED. We LISTENED! We are releasing more BIG sentiment dies! Our next showcase is the You Make Me Smile Stand-alone die.
First is Mimi’s card! She die cut this sentiment twice to create more dimension.
I really like the light pink and cyan color combo! Love the white gel pen accents on these bold letters!
The cute images and Ping Me Anytime sentiment are from the Penguin Agenda stamp set!
I’ve also made a card for today’s showcase. I kind of went for a non-traditional color palette this time.
I copic colored some adorable bears from Miniature Teddy Bear stamp set and popped them on my card with a bit of foam tape, finished it off with some matching color gems!
There you have our inspirations for today! If you haven’t done so, head over to our Day 1 post and participate in our BLOG + IG GIVEAWAYS!This is your LAST CHANCE! You have until 9:00pm PST tonight to enter!

Hello and welcome back to Day 4 of Reveal Week! Our new Spring/Summer Release can now be Pre-Ordered at www.ppstamps.com! If you missed our Day 1 Reveal & Giveaway, please click HERE!
Today and tomorrow, we will be showcasing some of our newest circular stencils from the Stencils 360° collection! If you haven’t heard of the Stencils 360° yet, don’t miss out as you will be amazed by what it can do!
Today we are focusing on the new Mandalas Bundle Stencils 360°! This set includes 8 stencils in sizes 4”, 6” and 8” diameter. Even though they are designed to work in pairs, you can definitely mix and match them to create totally different designs!
Just by inking different colors on the separate elements of the stencil and rotating it, you can easily achieve a colorful design without any masking needed AND without having to clean your stencil during the process!
We are thrilled to have two extremely talented Guest Designers creating with our 360° collection for this week’s reveal. One of them is Cheryl who made a trio of cards to share with us today! Her first card was created using both the large and small stencils from Pair D.
I am loving this blue palette! As you can see, the smaller stencil design is a perfect fit to the centre of the large stencil design. However you can definitely switch to another small stencil when pairing it with the large one. It’s fun to explore the different options!
She finished off the card by adding the scripty Thank you sentiment in the center which is from the So Blessed stamp set.
Below is an example on how you can mix the smaller stencils in your design! Cheryl used the large stencil from Pair B with the small stencil from Pair C to create this background. She rotated the large stencil at 30° (jumping from circle to circle) and then completed the center portion using the small stencil from Pair C.
Moreover, by simply changing the turning interval on the larger stencil, she could have achieved a whole new design! And this is a great thing about our Stencils 360° collection, they provide so many possibilities! I find that this background goes so well with this cute dancer and the fire torch images, all from the Aloha Hawaii stamp sets!
I love the black sentiment strip for a nice contrast!
For her final card she used Pair A (both the large and small stencil). I just love this sweet background which sets the scene for this cute mermaid from the Let’s Catch Up stamp set.
Love the coloring on the mermaid’s hair, gorgeous!
We are also very grateful to have Allison who is Guest Designing for us today. Allison made a trio of cards today! I am really impressed by the designs that she achieved by mixing and matching the stencils from the set!
For this first card, she layered all of Pair A and B, together with the large stencil from Pair C. It looks stunning! Her choice of colors go seamlessly together.
For her next card, she combined the large stencils from both Pair A and D, and added the small stencil design from Pair C. I just love how it turned out!
The stitched circle die cut really suits this design!
Below is her third card where she combined Pair A, with the large stencils from both Pairs C and D! Even though there is a lot of layering here, I really think the color palette makes it work!
All of the sentiments on Allison’s cards are from the So Blessed stamp set.
Finally we have Candice’s creation. In contrary to above designs, she demonstrated how the large stencil can be used separately on its own! Here she used just the large stencil from Pair A to create this beautiful design.
I love how she laid out the multiple mandalas on her card using the different color combinations, super pretty! The sentiment is from Unity and Friendship Quotes.
There you have our inspirations for today! If you haven’t done so, head over to our Day 1 post and participate in our BLOG + IG GIVEAWAYS! You have until May 8, 9:00pm PST to enter. We really hope you will play along with us! Winners will be announced on our Blog and on Instagram on May 9.
