Sunbird Spark - Build A Santa craft dies

Winter Release Inspiration Week & Giveaway – Day 1!

Hello and welcome to Sunbird Spark’s Winter Release Inspiration Week! Big thanks to those who played along in our Re-Branding Giveaway in our last blog post. Before we get to announcing the lucky winner, let’s take a closer look at some of the new products from our latest release! We have some beautiful samples from our Creative Team and we cannot wait to show you!

Make sure to make it all of the way to the bottom to find out who’s lucky winner from last week, AND for a chance to win a Stencils 360°™ Friends Ed. stenciling tool! Now first let’s take a look at some awesome projects!

These have got to be some of my favorite products since we launched our first collection! The 80s Pixel Party stamp set & coordinating Crisp Cuts, along with the coordinating 6″x6″ stencil! Featuring the most iconic and beloved characters from a hit 80s video game, these stamps will take your crafting to a whole new level!



These are perfect for encouragement cards, “just because” cards, or for any children, grandchildren, or loved ones who are into video games!

I love the dark background that Mimi created for this card and how she heat embossed the dots with white embossing powder! I particularly love how she brushed the white embossed sentiments over with Mustard Seed Distressed Oxide Ink which gives a glowy effect that captures the essence of video game vibes!

I also created a card with this set. I used the coordinating 6″x6″ stencil and blended the dots in Honeysuckle from the Velvety Dye Ink Spring Palette on white cardstock. I then stamped out the my images in playful colors and freely arrange them on the panel, and finished it off with a white heat embossed sentiment on Grand Piano – Heavyweight Premium Cardstock. This card was so fun and easy to make!

Next, we have the Build A Santa Stand-Alone dies. This Santa is just too adorable! With this set, you can create your own jolly Santa in no time, perfect for all your holiday crafting projects. It’s super easy to assemble, and even kids will love it. My son and I had so much fun playing with these dies the other day!

I absolutely adore this non-traditional Santa that Candice created! The silver glittery costume is just too cute, and the contrast with the cobalt blue background is stunning! For an extra touch of flair, she stamped “JOY” in a watermark pattern using the Dots In Harmony sentiments. The sentiment itself is from the Magical Christmas Sentiments set. Such a beautiful, creative design!

Here’s a more traditional take on Santa, also crafted by Candice! She created the elegant gold background using the rectangular stencil from the Spatial Concept Trio Stencils 360°™. The bright red costume and snowy white beard are just perfect, and I love how she added texture to the white areas for that perfect finishing touch! The sentiment is also from the Magical Christmas Sentiments set. Such a charming design!
