I had SO much fun creating with these new sets. I love all map-related things so I couldn’t wait to dig in and get started with these! My first card is exactly what I had envisioned creating with these products…don’t you love when that happens?
[imagelinks id=”140″]
I used the Rectangle Map die here and turned it at an angle to cut just a portion of it from the upper right corner of a panel of watercolor paper. Once that was cut, I watercolored the panel with shades of blue, and also incorporated some tan along the “coastline”/edge of the map to look like sand. I watercolored a second panel with shades of green to put underneath for the “land” portion of the map. Then I filled my map with all sorts of the little icons from the Destination: Summer set. So fun to do!
My next card is another summery take on the map theme. This time I used the Waterfront Map die.
[imagelinks id=”141″]
I placed a couple of sailboats in the water section of the die, and filled in the other areas with icons from both the Destination and Destination: Summer sets. The Destination set is filled with more basic and geographical icons that can work alone or be combined with the Summer set. For the sentiment, I diecut the smaller frame from the Postal Frames die and placed it at an angle in the corner, trimming off the excess.
For my next two projects, I wanted to keep them a little simpler and more masculine. For this one I used the Destination Map Stencils to create the background.
[imagelinks id=”142″]
I used the rectangle map from the set, turning it at different angles to completely fill my background with stenciled maps. I sponged over the stencil with several shades of green Oxide inks. Then I stamped the trees and mountains from the Destination set using a dark grey ink. I also added a couple of river diecuts, cut using the Destination die set. For the focal point I pulled out the Nordic Frames dies and used the smallest frame from the set. I stamped more trees and mountains, and also included the heart and sentiment from the Destination set.
My last card is also quite simple to create. I started by cutting the Round Map die from a panel of white cardstock.
[imagelinks id=”143″]
I layered this diecut panel over my card base, and used a pencil to lightly mark the position of the map. I then used these pencil lines as guides for adding some ink blending and also stamped trees, mountains, and the lake and river. Once I had the under-panel looking like I wanted, I adhered the diecut map panel over the top and added the heart and miss you sentiment, both from the Destination set.
I had so much fun creating these projects! I hope you enjoyed checking them out as much as I enjoyed creating them!
Now that you’ve gotten to meet all of today’s new products and see them in action, you can “greet” them for a chance to win a $50 gift card! We will be giving away one $50 gift card for today’s blog hop!

I’m excited to share some projects with you!
My first projects uses the Sprinkled with Kindness watering can, filled with Budding Beauties: Summer blooms.
[imagelinks id=”131″]
I stamped the watering can using Cracked Pistachio Oxide ink and layered the bouquet over a Crimped Frame die. I also tucked in several eucalyptus sprigs using the new Petite Eucalyptus set – I just love the size of those smaller sprigs. So perfect for bouquet building. I put a Windowpane Plaid panel behind everything just for a little extra interest.
My next projects has a much softer feel. I wanted to mimic the look of an old tin watering can with a bit of rust. I stamped it using Hickory Smoke Oxide ink and sponged just a bit of Rusty Hinge ink onto the edges of the image when stamping to give it a bit of a rusty look.
[imagelinks id=”132″]
I filled the watering can with some Petite Eucalyptus sprigs and placed a bouquet of daisies from the Budding Beauties Summer set at the base. Notice the “shiplap” at the bottom below the watering can? I used the Create-a-Crate die to cut those wood planks – I love that the bits and pieces from the Create-a-Crate die set are great for cards as well! The sentiment used here is also from the Sprinkled with Kindness set.
My next project again uses Budding Beauties Summer and Petite Eucalyptus. I wanted to create a one-layer card this time, so I stamped the bouquet of daisies around the outer edge of my panel, and filled in with some Petite Eucalyptus sprigs.
[imagelinks id=”130″]
I also created a cute flower crate using the Create-A-Crate die and embellished it with some of the daisies (and also a small flower cluster from a set you’ll be seeing more of tomorrow). Both sentiments on these projects are from the Sprinkled With Kindness set.
Next up is a super summery project that combines several of the new sets with the Lemon Blossom set we released last summer! I still love those lemons, and they look wonderful with the new peaches!
[imagelinks id=”133″]
I stamped a soft pink watering can using Sprinkled With Kindness, and filled in around it with lots of juicy, summery fruits. The peaches are of course from our new Print Shop: Peachy Keen set. I added just a bit of stenciling in the background using the Berry Branch stencil. The sentiment is from a new set you’ll be seeing tomorrow. 😊 Such a soft, yet summery card! You could definitely switch out the sentiment to create a summery birthday or anniversary card.
My next ensemble again uses the Print Shop: Peachy Keen set and the Create-a-Crate die. Having both background and focal point options in the Print Shop sets makes them so much fun to play around and create with!
[imagelinks id=”134″]
For this one I pulled out my Cozy Cup Coaster die to create the perfect place to put a couple of those pretty peaches. I again used the Create-a-Crate die to create the wood planks at the bottom. Those planks started off as white cardstock, which I sponged with Hickory Smoke and Frayed Burlap inks to give them the perfect rustic look. The matching peach crate was so fun to put together using the Create-a-Crate die. I embellished the front using a sentiment from the Just Peachy Sentiments stamp set, plus a couple of the tiny peaches from that set. The sentiment on the card was done with a combination of Just Peachy Sentiments stamps and dies.
[imagelinks id=”135″]
Of course the Print Shop: Peachy Keen set is so fun for creating backgrounds using the stencil + stamp combination. Just like Print Shop: Fresh Floral, they are pretty addicting! 😊
[imagelinks id=”137″]
Here I created the all-over peach panel and layered it over a Windowpane Plaid background, trimming it at an angle, and also splitting it to create an open space for that fun sentiment. The “peach” sentiment was cut from white cardstock and sponged with Oxide inks. I cut the “shadow” portion from vellum for a light, airy look.
The Peachy Keen peaches are just so fun to stamp, I couldn’t stop. I loved playing with different shades and colors. Here I stamped a whole cluster of them in various shades of pinks and corals. I love the slice from the set too – it’s so realistic looking!
[imagelinks id=”136″]
To create the background for this card, I cut several of the rails from the Create-a-Crate die, embossed them with the woodgrain embossing detail, and covered my whole card front with them. I just the “just peachy” sentiment from white cardstock three times, stacked them up, and layered them over the background.
One last card for you…this one again using the background builder stencils + stamps from Print Shop: Peachy Keen.
[imagelinks id=”139″]
I kept this one super simple. After I was done stenciling and stamping the panel, I diecut it with the largest Crimped Frame die. I kept the outer negative portion and adhered it to my card base, then nested the diecut back inside and popped it up with some foam adhesive. To finish it off I simply stamped a sentiment (from a set you’ll see more of tomorrow!). Super simple and fun to make…and I’m loving the purple and orange!
I had so much fun creating these projects! I hope you enjoyed them looking at them as much as I enjoyed creating them!
Now that you’ve gotten to meet all of today’s new products and see them in action, you can “greet” them for a chance to win a $50 gift card! We will be giving away one $50 gift card for today’s blog hop!

First I’ll be sharing several Pinwheel Party projects, but before I do, here’s a video I put together to show you these stencils in action. I can’t wait for you to try them for yourselves!
Now for some Pinwheel Party projects. This first card uses the stencils to create the colorful pinwheel design. I stenciled it first across the top of a vertical A2 panel, then again along the bottom to create two borders.

I love how quick and easy and FUN these stencils are! Using the masking trick I show in the video makes it easy to use tons of color. I added the diecut “let’s party” sentiment using the Pinwheel Party dies. I nested the word diecut back inside the shadow portion, sponging some ink on it before I put it back in place. I popped it up with foam tape for lots of dimension. I also added a few stars and confetti using the Pinwheel Party dies. The remainder of the sentiment was stamped with the Pinwheel Party stamp set onto a Sentiment Suite: Basics die. To finish off the top and bottom I added the frosting border from the Cake Pops die set. I love that border – it’s such a cute finishing touch!
This next one uses the Pinwheel Party dies and stencils to create a colorful cluster of pinwheels behind that cute sentiment!

I could not stop making these pinwheels in all kinds of colors – they are so FUN to stencil! For the sentiment, I again used the let’s party words from the Pinwheel Party die. This time I cut several of the word portion from white cardstock and stacked them up for lots of dimension. I nested the insides of the letter loops back inside after sponging them with ink for a fun touch. I cut the shadow portion from vellum and added it behind the dimensional words. Behind that whole cluster of pinwheels is a bit of watercoloring to give it a softer look. I once again added the Cake Pops frosting borders along the top and bottom.
I warned you that I couldn’t stop making these pinwheels in allllll the colors! Here’s another one…I clustered a whole bunch of them in rainbow order across the front of this fun card.

This time I used a sentiment from the new Birthday Blooms set, paired with a smaller sentiment from the Pinwheel Party stamp set. I also incorporated some of the Cake Pops Number Candles – they work so great on cards as well as the little cakes I’m going to show you in a bit! I finished it off by stamping the star cluster from the Pinwheel Party stamp set and stringing a few Twisted Crepe streamers.
So far my Pinwheel Party cards have been bright and colorful, but you can definitely explore some more masculine color schemes, or how about using school colors for a graduation card? I needed a few of these yet this year as our graduations have all been postponed. Here I used our school colors for a grad ensemble.

For one of the Pinwheel stencil steps I sponged Versamark and then heat embossed it with gold embossing powder to add some shimmer and shine to my pinwheel border. This time I cut my border with the matching die from the Pinwheel Party die set, and also stamped the Ticker Tape Background underneath, which was heat embossed with gold. The sentiment here is a combination from a few of the new sets – Balloon Bouquet and Pinwheel Party. I added some star and streamer confetti, cut with the Pinwheel Party dies from gold shimmer cardstock. For the other card, I clustered some of the individual pinwheel diecuts over some Nordic Frames and Crimped Frames panels, and also added some Twisted Crepe streamers cut from gold shimmer cardstock.
I also created a Cake Pops treat filled with chocolate to go along with my graduation cards! I used the Cake Pops Number Candles die to add the year 2020 to the top of the cake. It’s a tight fit, but I think it still works!
On the top of the cake I stamped “congratulations” using a sentiment from the Cake Pops Sentiments stamp set, and attached it to the Cake Pops Stand. I incorporated the Tear Away Circle die into the Cake Pops Stand so that the treats will be accessible.
Here’s a video I put together that shows how these cute Cake Pops go together!
These little cakes are so fun to do up with all sorts of details! The basic Cake Pops die has fun details built into it, but the Number Candles, Banner, and Cake Stand add even more possibilities.

You can add glitter or sprinkles to the cake tops, or maybe even add some Twisted Crepe streamers to the stand like I did here. I used the small flowers from the Cake Pops die set along with some small flower sequins to dress them up even more.
The largest pinwheel from the Pinwheel Party set is also a great size to put on top of the cakes – I love how that looks! To cut the slit in the pinwheel to slip the candles in, I just ran it through my diecut machine with the cake top circle die from the Cake Pops set – it’s small enough that it fits just inside the circle and will only cut the slit, leaving the points of the pinwheel untouched. Then you can just slip in the topper of your choice – the candles, banner, or numbers! The Cake Pops Banner Sentiments stamp set is just right for adding all sorts of sentiments to that cute banner.
