Hello, and welcome to the final day of our Spring Sneak Peek Week! All this week, I have been sharing cards showcasing our newest collection, which is now available for purchase!
I have put together a video sharing a closer look at all the new products, including the new Penguin Pair Stamps I am sharing here today. You can also view it directly on our YouTube channel HERE.
Card No.1: Before you run off to shop, I have one final stamp set to share. It's small, but mighty. It's a 3x4 set called Penguin Pair to complement our popular Roly Poly Penguins Stamps. You get two additional penguins in brand new poses and a couple of outfits and accessories to add to them, which are really fun for Valentine's Day!
For my first card, I used a strip from our Tulip Path Background Stamps, cutting it from a previous scene to create a vertically oriented card (which I shared HERE). Still, after all that coloring, I hated to throw it out, so I hung onto it, "just in case," and I'm so glad I did because I love how this new card turned out, turning it into an intentional technique. I used pale taupe ink to stamp the scene again onto white cardstock, then lined the colored portion on the left and added a small zig-zag edge in hot pink using the Ric Rac Border Dies. All I had left was to add my penguin couple to the pathway and stamp a large, bold sentiment to match from My Heart Stamps and Dies, with some scattered pink hearts from that set. It felt like all the work had already been done when I colored my original background a year ago, so this card came together really quickly.
Card No.2: Next up is a fun card using one of the penguins, a hot cocoa mug, and a hat from the Roly Poly Penguins Stamps with the sitting penguin and the new hat from the Penguin Pair Stamps. The original hat was fashioned to look like Santa's hats, but by coloring them blue and adding white polka-dots with a gel pen, they have been transformed into stocking caps for bedtime. For the card background, I cut a baby blue panel using the Quilted Hearts Landscape Dies and layered it over navy blue cardstock. I then framed my penguin couple by layering the Stitched Heart Dies and Scalloped Heart Dies. Lastly, I added a perch for my penguin pair by layering the Brilliant Banner 2 Dies and stamping a punny greeting from the Penguin Pals Stamps.
Card No. 3: For this card, I started by inking a pink cloud background using the Fluffy Clouds Border Dies, masking material, and Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. I then trimmed down the panel and added stitching to each side using the rectangular die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. I also added 1" wide strips of heart print patterned paper to flank the outside edges of my center panel using the Flirty Flowers Paper pack.
Card No. 5: For my last card set of the day, using the Penguin Pair Stamps, I created clean & simple Valentines that are easy to mass-produce and hand out in a child's classroom or other settings where you need something easy to make in bulk. The finished size for these cards is 1/4" smaller than A2-sized cards at 4" wide x 5.25" high. For my base panel, I used pink prints from the Dots & Stripes Pastel Paper and Flirty Flowers Paper packs. I then added the smallest frame from the Icing Rectangle Frame Dies, cut from red cardstock, and cut it again from white cardstock for the interior. I then stamped the two cards with bold Valentine sentiments from our My Heart Stamps and Lovey Dovey Stamps in red ink to match the frame trim. Lastly, I added the penguins wearing heart deely bopper headbands and heart glasses with scattered pink and red hearts around them from the Penguin Pair set.
