Penguin Palace - September Blog Hop - Encouragement Rainbow Cards

Welcome to Penguin Palace's first ever Blog Hop.  I'm thrilled to be joining a group of talented artists featuring Penguin Palace's latest Fall 2020 Release. If you have already begun the Hop you would have arrived from the amazing Wanda Guess's Blog. I will let you know where to Hop next at the end of this post.

Hopefully, by now, you have heard about the Stencils 360°™ created by Penguin Palace, but if you haven't make sure you check out this VIDEO. All my cards today feature the revolutionary stencils, that I used with the I used the Stencils 360°™ Starter Kit. Those of you that know me, know I love rainbows. So of course, I had to create some Rainbow Cards to share today.

CARD DETAILS

For this first card, I used both the stencil from the Mega Summer Blossom Stencils 360°™ set onto a piece of paper cut to fit the A2 sized template. I also used only 3 colors of Distress Oxide Inks but when overlapped it end up with a rainbow blend. 

Once the blending was done, I die cut the circle opening using the circle die from the Words From The Heart (Chapters 1 & 2) Coordinating Cuts. I then used the circle to figure out where to stamp the sentiment onto the card base, which I then heat embossed in gold. The sentiment comes from the Words From The Heart (Chapter 2). 

I then glued a piece of acetate to the back of the card panel, added foam tape around the window and edges, and adhered the panel to the card base securing all the shaker bits in the center. For added detail and interest I glued a bunch out crystal jewels to the card front!

This next card was so fun to blend out. I used the Origami Shuriken Stencil 360°™. I chose 6 different rainbow colors, blended each color out 4 times, before wiping the stencil clean and moving on to the next color.

I then die cut the Never Lose Hope Shadow Dies, stacked and glued 3 layers of the words together, and glued them onto a white shadow layer.

I then popped the sentiment onto the center of the card panel and added some more pops of color using a variety of colored pearls.

I must say this next stencil was my favorite. I repeated the same colors as the previous card. This time using the Magical Fireworks Stencils 360°™. I began with the Barrel 2 stencil, rotating and blending each color twice before wiping and moving on to the next color. 

I then used the Barrel 1 to add the dotted square details using glimmer paste. Please note, I allowed the paste to dry before rotating the stencil to avoid a sticky sparkly mess. Luckily this paste dried fairly quickly.

On a piece of vellum, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Words From The Heart (Chapter 1). I then fussy cut and glued onto the center of the card panel.

I then finished off the card by adding some more sparkly goodness. No card is complete unless it shines one way or another, lol!

Honey Bee Stamps | Day One - Autumn Afternoon Release Blog Hop

Hello, my friends and welcome to Day One of the Autumn Afternoon Release Blog Hop. If you have already started hopping you would have arrived here from Julianne's Blog. If you want to start the Blog Hop from the beginning click HERE. I will link the complete line up close to the end of this post.

CARD DETAILS

I have a couple of cards to share with you today so I will try to keep it a brief as possible. This first card features the new SWEET SUNFLOWERS and that I colored using Copic markers and then die cut using the coordinating DIES. 

For the background blanket, I stamped out the BUFFALO PLAID STAMP using black ink onto the new SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS: BLANKET DIE.

I then die cut the scripted sending die from the SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS: BLANKET DIE, and heat embossed it with black EP to give it that glossy finish. 

For the warm wishes banner, I stamped the sentiments from the FALL STAMP SET and then die cut it with one of the SENTIMENT BANNER DIES.

Here are a few more close-ups of these beautiful images designed by my sweet friend Emily Midgett. 

This next card is perfect for all my coffee-loving friends. This card features the images from the new TREAT YO SELF STAMP and coordinating DIES. 

The images were colored using Copic markers. The background panel was created by die cutting the largest SCALLOP A2 FRAME and then using the smaller HEXAGON STENCIL to blend out the pattern on the panel.

The sentiment dies come from the new AUTUMN DIES and the stamps come from the coordinating AUTUMN STAMP SET.

Here is another close up look at all the fun added sparkly details.

Life Is A Bit Nuts Slimline Scene Card | Day Four Sneak Peeks | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Friends and Happy Monday. Is your life a bit nuts these days!? Maybe you can relate to this card. I know I definitely can!

Today is Day 4 Sneak Peeks for Honey Bee Stamps Autumn Afternoon Release. Make sure you stop by the Honey Bee Stamps Blog for more inspiration from the Design Team featuring more day 4 product reveals!

This cute Slimline Card features the new NUTS ABOUT YOU and coordinating DIES, I also used HORIZON SLIMLINE BORDERS. Yes, as you can see I didn't create a Slimline horizontal card, but I wanted to show you it is also possible to use these dies and make a vertical Slimline scene. To frame the scene I used the SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS: EYELET DIES (Please note links for the new release will not be active until products go live on RELEASE DAY - Monday 9/21 @ Midnight EST.)

Here are some close-ups of this fun card.

Thank you for stopping by and make sure you come back tomorrow for Day 1 of the Autumn Afternoon Blog Hop. See you then, in the meantime hang in there friends!
