Sneak Peeks

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at two of the new stencils that will be released in a couple of days!

New release will be available August 12th

For my first card, I just had to use the Layered Halloween Wreath stencils! All of the adorable images just needed to be stenciled. I started with the (A) stencil and used purple, green and yellow inks, then the (B) stencil with orange and yellow inks, the (C) stencil with orange, black and green inks, and finally the (A) stencil again to add Frostbite Astro Paste to the tops of the candy corn and ghosts. I set it aside to dry and once it was dry, I trimmed it down to a 4×5.25” panel.

While my background was drying, I stamped and embossed the Happy Halloween sentiment in white from the Halloween Corners stamp set and used the coordinating dies to cut it out. I also cut the Candy Bucket Dies in orange and black cardstock to make the classic Jack-o-Lantern Treat Bucket! I made it into a shaker with acetate and Classic Halloween Shaker Beads.

I adhered the stenciled panel to a piece of black cardstock cut to A2 in size and adhered them to a card base. I adhered the Candy Bucket to the center of the card base and popped up the sentiment under the handle with foam adhesive. I just love this classic looking Halloween card!

For the second card, I really wanted to make a night scene with the Layered Birch Trees stencils. I stenciled the (A) layer with Picket Fence Distress Ink and then sprayed the whole panel with Iridescent Glitter Dust. When it was dry, I used the (B) stencil with Grrr! Lunar Paste to add in the tree details. I sent it aside to dry and once it was, I trimmed the panel to 4×5.25”.

Next I stamped and colored in my images from the Batty About You stamp set with alcohol markers and used the coordinating dies to cut out the images. I also die cut the third Stitched Torn Rectangle from purple cardstock and stamped my Spooky Wishes sentiment from Upright Greetings: Halloween stamp set with black ink. I adhered the moon image to the purple rectangle and popped up the bat and branch with foam adhesive.

I adhered the stenciled panel to an A2 card base and popped up the purple rectangle with the images to the center of the card with foam adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed these card with two of the new stencils – you’re going to love all of them!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here! I’m happy to be sharing with you this extra fun and super colorful sneak peek featuring two brand new products from the upcoming August 2024 Release: Build A Monster and Candy Bucket. The Candy Bucket comes with different funny faces, including a monster face, which matches the monsters to perfection.

New release will be available August 12th

I started off by cutting an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth slimline panel that I colored with bright colors in a rainbow order. I first created a light base with, from left to right, kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, salvaged patina and shaded lilac oxide inks. Next I created a pattern on my panel, and thought that big dots would add more fun to the card, so I used the Medium Polka Dots stencil along with, from left to right, picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, fossilized amber, mowed lawn, peacock feathers and wilted violet to create a tone on tone look.

I splattered water all over my panel, and dried it using a paper towel. For contrast, I mixed some black soot oxide ink with water and used a small brush to add more splatters, and for brightness I did the same with copic opaque white ink mixed with water.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of different colored cardstock, and assembled everything on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, liquid glue and 3mm glue dots. I used all the Build A Monster dies to create my three little guys, used the bucket and monster face dies from Candy Bucket to create the bucket, and multiple Candy Treats dies to make all the yummy treats.

I embossed my “Sending monster hugs” greeting from Monster Hugs in white, glued Onyx pearls on the monsters’ eyes, and Iridescent Mini Star Confetti here and there on the background, applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the monsters’ hearts and swirling icing, added a drop of glossy accent on the bucket’s eyes, and finally added highlights and details using a white gel pen.

Here’s a look at some more of the new dies coming in this release…..

And that’s it! I hope you like those cute and friendly little monsters! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be sharing a sneak peek of the fun new Batty About You stamp set along with the Upright Greetings: Halloween stamp set for the upcoming Halloween release. 

New release will be available August 12th

I began my first card by making my card panel with the Scattered Bats Stencil. I used white pigment ink for my blending and splattered the panel with a little white paint for added detail. Once my panel was dry I trimmed it down and attached it to an orange cardstock mat. 

Next, I stamped my bats with the Batty About You stamp set. I colored the bats orange with a few Copic markers and then used the Batty About You coordinating dies to cut them out. I die cut my circle with the Scallop Circle die and attached it to my panel. I then attached my bats with foam adhesive to add a little dimension. 

To finish my card, I stamped my You’re Fang-tastic sentiment with the Batty About You stamp set. I then used the Upright Greetings: Halloween stamp set to stamp the Eek sentiment. Lastly, I used the Sentiment Strips dies to die cut my sentiments before attaching them to my card. 

For my next card, I used the Upright Greetings: Halloween stamp set and my Misti to create my card panel. I placed the Batty For You stamp in my Misti and then moved my cardstock to the left on my grid paper to stamp my sentiment in a rainbow of colors.

Lastly, I used the Batty About You stamp set to stamp my bat. I colored the bat with Copic markers and then used the Batty About You coordinating dies to cut it out. Such a fun and easy card to create! I know you are going to love these fun new products.

Thanks for joining me today and  I hope you enjoyed my cards. Make sure you stop back by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hi Everyone! Carly here and I’m delighted to share a sneak peek of the new Halloween Train! I have been obsessed with PPP’s trains ever since the Valentine Train because they are not only adorable but so versatile! Let me show you what I mean…

New release will be available August 12th

Black & white images with a colorful sentiment is one of my favorite card designs for critter cards but it works for the new Halloween Train set too! 

I die cut the Spooky Wishes from a card panel and then stamped the train cars beneath it. I added “sending” from Sentiment Strips: Birthday and then adhered the panel to a folded card.

I ink blended a scrap panel with Distress Oxide Dried Marigold & Kitsch Flamingo and then die cut Spooky Wishes again and inlaid the colorful one on the card.

For this next card I had fun stamping, die cutting and coloring a bunch of train cars. 

Copic colors: RV63, RV52, RV10, RV00, RV000, B00, B00, T4, T2, YR07, YR04 & E02.

Then I stamped the sentiment and the train tracks on the front of a folded card. BTW, it’s easy to curve the train tracks on your acrylic block/stamping tool before stamping.

I arranged the cars on the tracks (but didn’t adhere yet) and then positioned the link stamp, moved the cars out of the way and stamped the links on the card front. I also added a few bats and faux splatter with a pen.

Finally I foam mounted the cars to card front and trimmed the bits that hung off the edge.

And of course I couldn’t resist creating another treat train! 

It’s really such an easy project and you can see the process in this video.

Copic colors: B99, B97, B95, RV63, RV52, T4, T2, YR07, YR04 & E02.

Thanks so much for stopping by and don’t forget to mark your calendars for the release!

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here! I’m super excited to share this fun sneak peek using Halloween Icons stamp set with coordinating dies and Halloween Corners stamp set with coordinating dies. The images are so cute from these sets! My favorite time of year is Fall and I adore all fall crafting, it’s the best! Let’s get started!

New release will be available August 12th

First, I stamped and colored the images from the Halloween Icons stamp set with an array of alcohol markers from my crafty realm. Next it was time to work on my background, I used an oldie but goodie from my stash called Stacked Edges 1 Dies! I added some faux black splatters to the top left and bottom right of the card panel.

I needed a resting place for each of the cute Halloween Icons I colored, the Halloween Icons Die set has the perfect Circle and Medallion Die! I used coordinating cardstock to match the images and added splatters to the white circles. The Halloween Icons stamp set is perfect to make a grid card! Next step was to make a smaller panel for the actual grid, once I had this piece it was easy peasy!

The next and final step was the sentiment. The Halloween Corners stamp set with coordinating dies has wonderful sentiments! I took a sentiment and heat embossed it in white on black cardstock. The sentiment needed a resting place, I went to one of my most used die sets called the Sentiment Strips Dies! I die cut two sentiment strips from coordinating cardstock and Ta-Da card done! I adore the nontraditional color palette and the card is so stinking adorable with all the little images!

For my second card I’m using the new super cute Halloween Corners stamp set with coordinating dies, these images are the cutest! I stamped and colored the images in an array of alcohol markers. Next, I took the coordinating dies and did some die cutting.

For my background, card base, I did some ink blending using two new stencils form the release. I took the Layered Birch Trees stencils and made a light pink forest. I wanted to add a bit more interest in the background and decided to use the new Scattered Bats stencil. I did partial stenciling in the upper left corner and bottom right corner. I decided to use another favorite die set called Wonky Stitched Square Dies! I die cut two of squares and did some light ink blending. I adhered the squares to my card base with some foam tape, next I added the super cute images from the Halloween Corners stamp set.

Now for the finishing touches, I die cut a few sentiment strips from the Sentiment Strips Dies and adhered them to the top left corner of the card I took one of the sentiments from the Halloween Corners stamp set and heat embossed it in white on black card stock, voila card is done! I can’t stress enough how stinking cute these images are and you’ll see them throughout my spooky crafting this fall!

Thank you so much for stopping by and you’re going to LOVE the new release, it’s chock full of Halloween goodness Have a great day!

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I’m giving you a sneak peek of some of the fantastic new dies releasing this month.  This month is heavily boy-themed and will hopefully help boost your stash in that area, but there is definitely something for everybody to love, so let’s get started. 

New release will be available June 10th

First up is the new Football Shaker Die. I love the large size of this die and filled it full of Espresso and Sand Sequins. I knew right away that I would be making this card for my son, so I used his team colors as my inspiration. 

With my focal point ready to go, I finished the card by adding detail to the card base with the Pierced Stars Plate, added some stripes, and then framed out the football with the largest Wonky Stitched Rectangle. I adorned the rectangle with some of the new Stitched Stars Dies and added a little embossed sentiment from the new Sports stamp set.

There are several shaker dies releasing this month, and I used two more on my next card. I had so much fun creating this galactic scene! I started by using some distress and pigment inks, shimmer sprays, and paint flecks on black cardstock to create a simple galaxy background.   

Then I used the new Planet Shaker Die to create the large planet with the ring around it and the medium planet at the bottom of the card.  The smallest pink planet was cut with the circle from the older Winter Circles Dies.

I blended several inks and added shimmer sprays and a smidgen of glitter to my planets as well.

You also get a little peek of the Rocketship Shaker die on this card as it flies through space.

I love the sense of movement this adds to the card.  I thought it would be fun to have the sentiment from the previously released Love From Afar Dies trail after the rocket ship. 

Thanks so much for joining me today! My cards just barely scratch the surface of the MANY new dies releasing this month.  There are space, stars, sports, construction, city, and even a fun new Fancy Card Die, so make sure you come back tomorrow for a look at all of the new products!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at two of the new stencils that will be released!

New release will be available June 10th

For my first card, we’re going into space with the Layered Shooting Stars Stencils – I used them with Interference Metallic Inks on black cardstock to create a shimmery, galaxy design. I also added some white paint splatter to add more of a space look. Using the Pierced Stars Die, I trimmed the stenciled background and adhered it to an A2 card base.

I stamped and colored images from the Outer Space Stamp Set and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I also cut different pieces from the Rocketship Shaker Dies and added my sentiment before adhering the rocketship and space images to the card base with a mixture of liquid glue and foam adhesive.

For the second card, we’re heading into a construction zone with the Layered Street Signs Stencils. I used masking tape to include lots of color detail with this stencil set using Distress Inks and Distress Oxide Inks to create the street signs in different colors. I added a little bit of black splatter and trimmed the panel to A2 in size and attached it to the card base.

To finish the card, I cut a black strip of cardstock with the Stitched Borders I Dies and embossed my sentiment in white before adhering to the center of the card. I stamped and colored images from the Construction Additions stamp set and cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. I layered the images onto the card base with different foam adhesive thicknesses so they really pop off the card.

I hope you enjoyed this peek into some of the new stencils. I’m so excited for you to see the rest of the release!

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a sneak peek at the new Sports stamp set from the upcoming June release. There’s a fantastic variety of different sports in this set. On my first card, I featured lots of these together.

New release will be available June 10th

I stamped out all the images and coloured them with copic markers. I’ve listed the colours used later in the post. I also used a red fineliner pen to add detail to the baseball.

For my background, I used the previously released Storybook 6 die. I layered this for dimension, adhered it on an A2 card base, then added some pattern papers in each of the window spaces.

Underneath the Storybook 6 die, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Sports stamp set. I then added the images to the card with foam tape

Copic colours

• American Football E95-99, W0-1
• Baseball N0-1, red fineliner pen
• Baseball Bat E30-33, W0-1
• Basketball E95-99
• Football / Soccer N0-7
• Rosette Y00 Y13-15
• Stars R24-27, Y13-15, B63-66
• Tennis Racket R24-27, N0-5
• Tennis Ball YG01-03
• Trophy Y00 Y11 Y15 YR23

For my second card, I focused on one sport. I stamped out the basketball, trophy and stars from the Sports stamp set. I coloured them with copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies.

Taking inspiration from the sentiment in the Sports stamp set, ‘You’re an all star’, I teamed the images with a holographic star, using a die from the new Stitched Stars set.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed these cards. Come back tomorrow for more sneak peeks!

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here to share some Sneak Peeks!  I’m super excited to be sharing these sneak peeks using Helper Vehicles stamps with coordinating Dies and Utility Vehicles stamps with coordinating Dies.  My sneak peeks are just a small glimpse into these fabulous sets because I did specific themes for each of my cards.  These sets are adorable and have you covered to make lots of celebration goodness! 

New release will be available June 10th

For my first card I’m using the super cute Helper Vehicles stamps with coordinating dies.  I stamped the images and colored them with an array of Olo markers.  For my background I did some partial stenciling with the new Layered Shooting Stars Stencils. I decided to make a shaker, so I cut a smaller panel to fit onto the A2 panel and die cut a circle from the smaller panel.  For the backdrop in the shaker, I used a fun new die set called City Buildings. I inked up the buildings with colors that matched the colored images from Helper Vehicles Stamps with coordinating dies.   I did a mixture for the shaker bits, I used Sparkling Clear Mix, Iridescent Mini Star Confetti, and the new Stargazing Mix!

I arranged and adhered all the images to the card panel, but I needed a resting place for the adorable police cars and decided to use the road from the new City Buildings Dies.  I added lots of stars from the Big Celebration Cupcake Die set and the cute sentiment is from the Helper Vehicles stamp set, viola card done!  I think it turned out super cute.

For my second card I’m using the Utility Vehicles Stamps with coordination dies and I decided to focus on the adorable Postal vehicle.  I stamped and colored the images with an array of Olo markers.  For my background on the card base I used the new Layered Street Signs stencils.  My idea for the background is to resemble postal tape. And yes, friends it’s shaker time, I decided to make another shaker using the new Stitched Stars Dies!  I added the cutest new shaker beads called Patriotic Shaker Beads!  

I arranged the cute images from the Utility Vehicles Stamps regarding postal service onto my card and added lots of stars from the Big Celebration Cupcake Dies. The adorable sentiments are from the Utility Vehicles stamp set and so are the cute smiley faces!

Thank you for stopping by friends! Come back tomorrow for more sneak peeks! This release is chock full of CUTENESS for lots of occasions and super FUN!

Hello crafty friends! Davina here with some “out of this world”, sneak peeks, featuring the June Pretty Pink Posh release. This playful release is full of imaginative play themed sets like construction, first responders, and space. I made a pair of cards that feature some of the space theme products and hope that you are as excited as I was. 

New release will be available June 10th

Both cards were created using the Outer Space stamp sets with the coordinating dies, and they are both shaker cards, using the new Beach Day Shaker Beads. I felt like this color combo would be perfect for my space scenes and love the fiery gold and orange with the shades of blue.

For the first card, I started by die cutting my background using the Pierced Star Plate from Bristol Smooth Cardstock. I ink blended my panel with a blue gradient starting with a light aqua and finishing with a dark teal around the edges. After splattering with several inks, including gold, I put it aside to dry while i worked on the other components. 

I made the shaker element using the new Planet Shaker Die Set. I ink blended the center using the warm colors, and cut the ring from holographic cardstock. I filled the shaker about 1/3 of the way full for maximum effect. Next, I stamped and colored my images using copic markers and added white highlights and some glittery Wink of Stella accents. I backed my star panel with some starry patterned papers I had in my craft stash, and assembled the cards with the shaker in the center. I finished the card off with a sentiment from the stamps set, on a bold white banner. 

I loved the results so much I decided to make a second version of the card but with the new Rocketship Shaker die set, and the other images from the Outer Space stamp set. I backed this card in a dark navy blue version of the same patterned paper and used the larger more decorative sentiment from the set. I think the reflective holographic paper was absolutely the way to go with these shaker die sets, as the colors pick up so much from the copic colored images, and really bring the scenes to life. 

I hope you like this pair of cards as much as I do, and are inspired to stock up on the new release for these “out of this world” collection of products!

Thank you for stopping by, Davina
