If you’ve been reading my blog posts over the past two weeks, then you already know how excited I am about the August 3 release of Stampin’ Up!’s July-December 2021 Mini Catalog and the simultaneous launch of the first August-September Sale-a-Bration. Yay!
Here’s a look at the cover of each of these amazing, new books (I will be able to share the entire catalogs online on August 3):
When I mailed catalogs to my customers, I included a little tag I made with three new products from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog – here’s the little tag I made:
How cute is that little penguin?! As soon as I saw the Penguin Place Bundle, I knew I needed it – lucky for me, demonstrators have been able to pre-order items from the new catalog in July. Here’s a look at the Penguin Place Bundle, which includes the Penguin Place photopolymer stamp set and Penguin Builder punch:
The largest cutout gives you the body of the penguin, and the cutout beside it gives you the penguin’s belly and face. I punched the body with Basic Black cardstock and the belly and face with Basic White. I stamped the eyes and beak. I stamped the little hat with Shaded Spruce and cut them out with my Brother Scan-n-Cut (I only use that for images that don’t have a coordinating punch and/or die). Either way, the little penguins are adorable, right?!
The base of my tags is cropped from Polished Pink with one of the dies in the Seasonal Labels Dies, part of the Christmas Season Bundle. Here’s a look at this bundle that’s new in Stampin’ Up!’s July-December 2021 Mini Catalog:
I stamped the Candy Canes Background stamp on Polished Pink cardstock with Polished Pink ink before cropping the tag bases with the Seasonal Labels Die above. The pink base and pink candies were an unexpected color for the seasonal tag, don’t you think? Here’s a look at the Candy Canes Background stamp, new in the July-December 20201 Mini Catalog:
The sentiment on the tag is from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Stampin’ Up!’s 2021 Annual Catalog – it was the perfect size of my sweet tag. penguin tags. I attached the tags to my wish lists and Crown Rewards Program forms and an ad for the Designer Series Paper Sale to send with my catalogs:
When I made a lot of one thing, I like to line them up and take an “infinity shot” – here’s an infinity shot of my adorable penguin tags:
There are so many ways to build a sweet penguin – I hope you like this example of one way to build him.
I have a couple of these guys left over – if you are my customer and haven’t received your catalogs, please reach out to me now (click here). If you do not have a demonstrator or would like to be my customer, please reach out to me today (click here).
Thanks for stopping by today!

Adorable! I love these infinity shots too!
Thank you so much, Marilyn! When I set out to make a lot of something, I’m almost as excited about the infinity as the project. These took a while, but they were fun to make. Glad you like them! β₯
oh Brian! Those penguins were BORN for Polished Pink! Well done! (as usual)
The penguins would look great on any color, Annie, but THESE were, in fact, born for Polished Pink. π Thanks so much! β₯
Love, love these little tags. Cute idea to use the candy cane background!
Thank you so much, Mary! They are so festive, no? Glad you like them.
SO MUCH meticulous detail in those little tags~And you are definitely the master (Oops! The KING!) of the infinity shot.β€οΈ
Thank you so much, Linda! I really had fun with these – the idea of the infinity shot keeps me going when I feel like they are taking too long. π
Love the penguin and your tag!
Thank you so much, Dianne! I had fun making them. β₯
You know I love your infinity shots! I imagine there must be a team of elves who magically appear in the night to put all those together! They are adorable! Love the unexpected Polished Pink. Enjoy your day, my friend.
No elves, but these were not assembled at once – a week or more of little tasks once I had the tag designed. Glad you like it, Hilda! β₯
Seriously Brian…….SO CUTE!
π Thanks, Kadie! β₯ I can’t take much credit for the adorableness of these penguins, but I accept the compliment.
Adorable tags and product combo! Getting annoyed that you and others are making these penguins look so cute that I might have to cave on the bundle and I don’t want to!
I’m so sorry to do that to you, Windy! π I’m glad you like the tags – they were so fun to make. β₯
I completely ignored this bundle in the catalog! So now I’m up to 2 pages of stuff to order. Your penguin tag was just too, too cute to be ignored. Now I have to have it!!!!
It’s a cutie, Grace! So glad you like it. Thank you so much! β₯
I loved the penguin tag you included in my last order. Itβs on my bulletin board, so I can see it everyday. Also, thanks for the catalog.
I love that you’ve displayed your little tag n your craft room. β₯ Thank you so much, Debra!
so cute!!!!
Thank you so much, Bette! β₯
Mr. Brian! Your clock of penguin tags is going to sell that bundle, I’m sure. I also wanted to ask if you would tell your mom one of her fans enjoyed her video on the new kits we have, she’s such a good sort and positively adorable. Thanks so much for sharing.
