Penguin Playmates Parcels in the Post
Hello stampers and happy Wednesday to you. Today I am featuring a bunch of cards all made using my Penguin Playmates Parcels in the Post. What on earth is “Parcels in the Post”? It is a package of supplies that I make each month to coordinate with the video series I am doing on YouTube.
The purpose is to make stamping more affordable and easy. Instead of having to buy full packs of cardstock and full packs of designer series paper, you get a collection of coordinating paper and cardstock as well as ribbon and embellishments. You also get inspiration for what to do with these supplies. Do you want to see what you get in the Parcel in the Post?

Here is a photo of what you get in your Parcel in the Post. If you would like to see the videos that I have already done in this series, click here.
It’s hard to see in the photo, but you get 12 6″ x 6″ pieces of patterned paper and ten sheets of coordinating cardstock, three yards of ribbon and about 40 iridescent rhinestones and six iridescent snowflakes.
Penguin Playmates Cards
I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed making cards with this cheerful, fun paper. Looking at those creatures as you create just brings a smile to your face. These cards were just what I needed after a busy holiday season and recovering from a nasty cold (not covid thankfully!)
These adorable cards are NOT my original creations but were cased from the very talented Cindy Brumbaugh whose blog post you can find here. Cindy’s cards are so gorgeous that I could probably just stop blogging and just case her work!!
The small 4″ square card at the bottom was made when I made a mistake cutting the patterned paper for the card on the top left. The strips were supposed to be 1 1/2″ by 3 1/2″ but I had cut them too short at only 3″. Necessity is the mother of invention and I was really pleased with my extra card!
Penguin Place was available in the holiday catalog and has been carried over and will once again be available in the annual catalog of June 2022. As you can see it is also available in Dutch. I had a lot of fun stamping the penguin in the inside of the card with all the accessories. The curvy “snow line” is especially fun to work with.
Saleabration Freebies
Saleabration means free products! I know that there has been an unfortunate delay in the shipping of the spring mini catalogs and the saleabration flyers. If you have not yet had a chance to see them, check them out online or on the side of my home page on this blog. This is the best time to update your stamp and paper collection and to stock up on adhesives. Are you from Europe? You can shop with me here!
This card is a Spinning Tower card and is much easier to make than it looks. The stamp set beside the card? Did you know that you can get it for FREE with a $120 purchase while saleabration lasts. Saleabration is a special sale that goes until February 28, 2022. Want to know how to make the card? Here is my video from yesterday.
