WOW! – Papirmølla

Hi, crafty friends! There’s a new release out today from Purple Onion Designs. The Sunshine & Daydreams collection is a beautiful summer collection illustrated by Pei. It consists of 12 images, and there’s also a sentiment set and a few individual sentiments available. These images are so awesome and as always, the images from Pei are a blast to work with.

For this card, I started by stamping the goose from the Swim buddies set (there’s also a pig in the same set) in Extreme Black ink from My Favorite Things. I masked the goose before stamping the Beachscape background stamp using Classic Kraft ink from Papertrey Ink for a soft look.

I colored the panel with Copics, and I made sure to have the feet barely touch the water, making it look like the goose is testing the temperature of the water. Quite a timid one, this one, the exact opposite of the pig in the same set, which is so much fun!

I added White puff embossing powder from Wow! for a seafoam look near the bottom of my panel and stamped a sentiment from the much older Sweet Summer sentiment set using Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I wanted to add a sentiment from the new sentiment set, but my panel was too small for all of them. This older one was the perfect size for this smaller 4 Bar card size.

To finish off the card, I added a few sequins, gems and pearls from the Melon embellishment mix from Little Things from Lucy’s Cards.

This Tropic color combination from Concord & 9th was my inspiration for this card.

For a limited time, the entire Sunshine & Daydreams collection is available as a discounted bundle. The discount for the bundle is over 30 %, so if you love Pei’s work as much I do, it’s available until June 24th 2026.

Hi, crafty friends! Have you checked out the new release from Purple Onion Designs? There are two new collections from a couple of our favorite illustrators: Pei and Holly Mabutas. Holly’s collection is massive, with 24 stamps, including some really versatile backgrounds that I’ve had a blast playing with (I’ll share more in a future blog post), and Pei’s collection consists of 12 stamps in her sweet and fun signature style. My favorite character of hers, Mousy, makes an appearance, but today, I’m focusing on Mr. Corgi’s Margarita.

I knew I had to color up this image as soon as I saw it. This is so adorable with the corgi hanging off the top of the glass. And so funny, and very typical of Pei’s illustration style. I love it!

I colored the image with Copics, fussy cut him, then added VersaMarker pen to the rim of the glass and used white puff embossing powder from Wow! to mimic a salt rim. The embossing also adds some fun texture to the glass. I also used a black glaze pen to add a little bit of shine and dimension to his eyes.

I ink blended Parsley and Starfruit inks from Concord & 9th onto a white cardstock panel for an ombré effect, then used the Geometric embossing folder from WRMK to create some subtle dimension. I added the panel to a card base I’d covered with Parsley cardstock from Concord & 9th, before mounting the image using foam tape.

In this release there are also a few sentiment sets, and this one from the Good Libations set was the perfect one to pair with the corgi. I stamped it in Parsley ink onto white cardstock, then ink blended with Starfruit ink and fussy cut, before mounting it onto the card with more foam tape. I used a couple of different embellishment mixes from Little Things from Lucy’s Cards to finish off. The sequins are from the Beach Dreams mix, while the gems are from the Seashore mix.

Simple color palette for this one. This was so fun to color!!!
