HELLO crafty friends! We hope you’ve enjoyed our Winter Release Inspiration Week! Below is a quick snap shot of our Winter Release! Our 8 new stamp sets & coordinating dies, 5 new stand-alone dies, 2 new 6 x 6“ stencils, 5 sets of new 360°™ stencils, 4 new patterened paper pads, 4 new Velvety Dye Ink palettes, can all be Pre-Ordered at sunbirdspark.com!

Remember, at Sunbird Spark we are always on the lookout for new retailers! If you don’t see our goodies at your favourite local store, please spread the word!

Before we get to the winners reveal, I have one more bonus card to share with you all. Ann created this stunning card featuring the Jungle Vines Stencils 360°™.


Ann rotated Barrel C from the Jungle Vines Stencils 360°™ by 22.5 degrees, jumping and ink blending from ‘heart to heart’ with a light dusty pink to create a soft background. She then layered Barrel D on top, also spun at 22.5 degrees. The combination of purple and blue alternating against the light dusty pink background is absolutely stunning!

I love how she subtly offset her canvas to the right, giving it a beautifully asymmetric look! The bold ‘gratitude’ sentiment is from Dots In Harmony sentiments. She finished off her card with matching color card base and some gems! LOVE!

Winter Release Inspiration Week & Giveaway – Day 3

Sharon Y.30 Comments

Welcome back to Sunbird Spark’s Winter Release Inspiration Week – Day 3! If you’re just joining us, don’t miss your chance to win 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!).

Today we’ll start off by showcasing the Sunburst Floral Stencils 360°™. If you like floral designs, you we absolutely fall in love with this stencil set!  Start with the 6″ sunburst floral, add accents from the 4″ stencils for more overlays, adding intricate details and visual texture.  If you prefer a bolder and bigger pattern, start with the 8″ stencil in the background to build more dimensions in your design.  This set makes beautiful home décor and greeting cards for every occasion!

Take a look at Ann’s stunning creation, inspired by the beauty of sunflowers. The vibrant colors and the carefully coordinated gems in the center add a perfect touch of elegance. The black heat-embossed sentiment, from the Inside Sentiments (Cards for Donation) clear stamps set, complements the background beautifully, giving the entire piece a sophisticated finish.

For my project, I decided to create a piece of home décor. I used Rosea and Mistflower from the Summer Palette to design a soothing floral pattern with a light, ethereal feel. To add a modern twist, I used the Smile stand-alone die and spaced out the letters. I absolutely love the ultra-soft tones these inks provide, giving the piece a gentle, calming vibe.

Next, we are spotlighting the new Musical Keyboards Stand-Alone dies.

This stand-alone die is your go-to die for a quick and simple card! Perfect for adding whimsical musical elements to your projects!

To highlight this die cut, I created a duo of cards. I decided to give them some contrast by designing one in the classic color of a grand piano and the other with a vibrant array of rainbow hues. To add a touch of shine, I used the Music Heals stand-alone dies with holographic cardstocks for that extra sparkle!

What are your thoughts? Which color palette do you prefer?

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s inspirations! Be sure to come back tomorrow as we highlight more wonderful projects!

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

Sunbird Spark Winter Inspiration Week - Day 2

Winter Release Inspiration Week & Giveaway – Day 2

Sharon Y.32 Comments

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!

Sending Positive Vibes

Hope you’re having a great week so far! Today we have a refreshing inspiration from Mimi!

I love this fun background Mimi’s created using Damask Stencils 360°™. Using Barrel A at 45 turning intervals, she ink blended with Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles while masking the lower portions of the stencil patterns.

After the full rotation, she cleaned the stencil and masked the area that she just ink blended. Then she continue ink blending the rest of the stencil pattern with Distress Oxide Mustard Seed and Brushed Corduroy.

She added some random floral details using Sakura Fubuki Stencils 360°™ Barrel B with Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry, and finished her card with a stamp image from Everyday Sentiments clear stamp set.

I love how her card gives the Hawaiian tropical vibes!

Thank you so much Mimi for your lovely inspiration!

How to Create Unique Designs from One Simple Stencil

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hello friends! Hope you’re having a great day so far!

Even as the creator of Stencils 360°™, it still amazes me every single time, how a simple stencil can create so many different patterns with just a few turns. Today I have a short ASMR video featuring the Damask Stencils 360°™. I will show you how I used this simple stencil and turn it into a colorful piece of art!

I first centered a 3 3/4” white panel with the Stencils 360° Friends Ed., then I coupled the 4” stencil from the Damask Stencils 360°™ set to the 4” Guide Ring™.

For my first round of inking, instead of inking all of the elements on the stencil, I chose only to ink the two bigger petals. I spun it at 22.5 degrees turning interval (referencing to Hearts) and inked with alternating colors. Then using one of the smaller petal element, I simply ink right in between the big petals while rotating my stencil, without referencing to any of the scales on The Base™.

To create an even fuller look, I moved and taped my stencil outside of the Guide Ring™, and ink through the small petal again but this time, right in between the array of the small petals that I inked. This is one of the fun parts of the tool, thinking outside the box! You are not limited to putting the stencil in the Guide Ring™ to create your designs!

Watch this short clip to see how I made this card! And don’t forget to check out our new 0.6” and 1” blending brushes which are the perfect- size brushes for working with the Stencils 360°™ collection!

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great weekend ahead!
