Hello crafty friends! It’s June here, and today I’m on the blog to tell you a bit more about a card I made using the newest release. It’s a simple one, but definitely my favorite I’ve created this month!
First of all, I can’t be the only one that’s excited about a new addition to the wreath stamps right? I loved all the themed wreaths from back in the day, and seeing the newSeashell Wreath stamp set made me SO excited! For my color palette I used very soft colors, mostly beiges with some touches of pastel purple, yellow and pink.
I stamped even more shells from the Seashells stamp set and used the same colors as I did for the wreath for each type of shell or coral. I put some inside of the wreath and some on the bottom, trying to make sure the colors look balanced.
For my background, I used the largest of the Stitched Torn Rectangle dies, because it just adds such a nice detail to each card. I used Antique Linen Distress Oxide to add color to my panel. I put more color towards the edges, so the center would remain lighter. To make it look even more like sand, I took the same Distress Oxide and splattered it across my panel, also focussing it mostly around the edges.
To finish of my card, I used the scripted sentiment that’s in the Seashells stamp set and put it in the center of the wreath. This ended up being a rather simple card to create, but I love the way it turned out! I’m all for colorful cards, but more neutral colored cards like this one are so up my alley!
I hope to see you again soon, bye for now! Happy crafting!
Hello crafty friends! Christina here to share a sparkly, beach-inspired card using big, beautiful die cuts from the new Stitched Seashells and Stitched Coral sets. I used Copic markers to add shading and dimension to the die cuts, added a little sparkle, and then arranged them on a Chevron Pierced background panel. So easy and so pretty! Let’s dive in!
To create the background panel for the die cuts, I ran the Chevron Pierced Plate and aqua blue cardstock through my die cutting machine. Before mounting the pierced panel on a slightly larger aqua blue cardstock panel, I splattered it with a little thinned white gouache paint.
Next, I die cut the seashells and coral elements for my card design from colored cardstock using a tropical-inspired color palette. I chose a jade and chartreuse green, a pale yellow, salmon, peach, and ivory cardstock. After die cutting them, I added shading and dimension with Copic markers, and to add a little sparkle to the die cuts, I outlined the stitching detail with Diamond Stickles. Finally, I arranged them on my background panel and attached them with either glue or foam squares, depending on their placement and if they overlapped other die cuts.
To finish things up, I heat embossed a Friend Greeting and a Summer Sentiment with white embossing powder on the same aqua blue cardstock I used for the background. Then I die cut them with the coordinating die and a sentiment strip die before attaching them to my card front using more foam squares. The final detail was to add a few sequin embellishments from the Spring Meadow Mix.
Thanks for reading about my beach-inspired card design featuring some of the beautiful new die sets in the latest summer-themed collection. Happy crafting!
Hello there everyone, this is Nicky with you today on the Pretty Pink Posh blog where I’m sharing a fun and beachy shaker card showcasing amazing products from the June release.
I took a panel of white cardstock and over this I layered the new Seashell Background Stencil. Through it, I ink blended softly using a combination of Distress Oxide Inks in Tea Dye, Speckled Egg, Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade and Saltwater Taffy. I concentrated my blending on each shell or starfish in the design and then with the excess on my blending brush I’d work a little outside the lines also and ensured that everything softly ‘melted’ together.
I removed the stencil and glued this panel to my card base.
I used the Shoreline Borders Dieto create a sandy edge which I ink blended with more of the Tea Dye ink. I stamped the sentiment which was taken from the new Beach Fun stamp setand then I backed this sandy strip with some extra think dimensional foam tape and adhered to the background. I made sure to not place the foam tape where I was going to want to tuck the sand bucket shaker.
I die cut sturdy white cardstock about 5 times using the newSand Bucket Shaker Die to make a stack of the outline pieces and one of the full background shape.
I ink blended a little bit of pink to the background bucket piece and then glued the outline die cuts in a stack, reserving one. I sprinkled in the new Paradise Shaker Beads, sealed it with acetate and then added the final outline.
I glued the Sand Bucket Shaker to the card background at a playful angle and added the handle.
For the finishing touch, I die cut the spade from theSand Bucket die set. I did this three times. Once from pink cardstock, once from sparkling pink cardstock and once more in white. When I glued the pieces together I slightly offset the sparkling die cut so that you just get a glimpse of it on the right hand side. I highlighted the spade and tucked it in with the bucket and adhered with glue.
The finishing touch was just the addition of a few sparkling clear sequinsand then this project was done.
The June 2025 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post yesterday, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Mindy has that for you today!
Hi friends Debbie here with the new Sandcastle Shaker from the June Release. This whole release is so fun and adorable. With all the fun shakers, Seashells, Stencils, and the beautiful mixes for inspiration! It brought out the inner mermaid in me! And who is ready for Summer!
Speaking of using the beads for inspiration, the Paradise Shaker Beads was mine on this Pink Sandcastle.
Starting off with the background, using the Layered Seashells Stencil. With Layer A, I ink blended on a light Orange. Once it was done I then placed layer B over the panel and ink blended on a darker Orange on the shells. To incorporate the pink, I added pink ink to the stars on layer B. Next, I die cut the panel out using the larger Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die.
Then in the center of the panel I die cut out the whole Sandcastle Shaker Die. Also die cutting it from a pink card stock using both the outer and inner dies to create the frame of the sandcastle.
Adhering acetate to the back of the panel with double sided adhesive. Then adding foam strips around the window to create a well for theParadise Shaker Beads. Once the beads were poured inside I placed a Melon colored card stock over to in case the beads.
Next, on the front of the panel I attached the sandcastle frame. Adding a darker pink for the flags and door. The center flag did go off the panel so I popped a small foam square to the back of it.
For the sentiment I used one from the Sentiment Strips: Summer. Stamping and White heat embossed it on a brighter Orange. Then die cutting it out with Sentiment Strips Dies, adding thin foam squares to the back but making sure they aren’t where the flag would be. This will keep the sentiment nice and even.
I love how this card turned out, let me know what you think! It such a fun and really pretty easy card to make. It’s like our own Barbie Sandcastle!
Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty my friends!

Welcome to the last day of sneak peeks of our June 5th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the Stitched Coral, Chevron Pierced Plate, and Good Vibes Shadow die sets.
Hi Friends! It’s Christina and I’m here to share another sneak peek at the incredible June 5th summertime release. Today I’m showcasing the Stitched Coral die set, one of my favorite things from this release. I thought these tropical-colored die cuts paired perfectly with the Watercolor Oval stencil stencil to create a dazzling under-the-sea card design. Below you’ll find even more sneak peek inspiration from the team, but first I’ll share all the details for my inspiration project!
I started by die cutting the elements I wanted to use from the Stitched Coral die set and the new Seashell Border die set from white cardstock. Using tropical ink colors, I ink blended the die cuts using blending brushes and then added texture with a darker ink color and a sea sponge. By the way, sea sponges are a great tool to have in your arsenal; they are inexpensive and can be used with almost any medium to add texture and interest to your craft projects! Finally, to give the coral and the shell die cuts a little shimmer, I spritzed them with coordinating Mica Stains.
To create an under-the-sea backdrop for the die cuts, I started by stenciling the Watercolor Ovalon a white cardstock panel with teal ink. Then, using the new Wave Edges Stencil, I stenciled a wave pattern inside the oval with a darker teal shade. And to give the background a little more interest, I splattered it with plain water and with the same teal ink colors I used for stenciling.
With the background and the die cuts ready to go, I got to work assembling and finishing up my card design. First I trimmed the background panel to 4 x 5 ¼ and attached it to a card base with foam tape. Then I arranged my coral and shell die cuts inside the watercolor oval and attached them with either glue or foam squares, depending on their placement and if they overlapped. Next I added the Hello Script greeting and a gold heat embossed sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips: Summer set. I die cut the sentiment with a Sentiment Strip die before attaching it under the greeting and then added a fewMatte Gold Confetti embellishments.

We hope you enjoyed this sneak peek. We’ll be back tomorrow with a full picture reveal of the release!
Welcome to day 3 of sneak peeks for our June 5th release. Today we’ll be sharing a look at the new Seashell Border, Seashell Shaker, and Stitched Seashells die sets.
Hello Crafty Friends! Arsenia here — and oh boy, do I have something fintastic to share with you today! I’ve teamed up with some of my favorite crafty pals to bring you a sun-soaked sneak peek featuring the brand-new Stitched Seashells Dies, Seashell Shaker Dies, and the beautiful Seashell Border Die. These dies are everything you need for creating beachy, summery goodness — from ocean vibes to tropical flair!
I’m sharing two cards and a sweet little gift tag that are bursting with seaside goodness, so grab your shades and let’s dive right in!
Ready to make some waves? For my first card, I used the fabulous new Seashell Shaker Die — but with a twist! I created a faux shaker by skipping the acetate and popping up the outer shell with foam tape. Then, I tucked in some super cute bits from the new Underwater Mix Clay — total treasure vibes!
My color palette? Inspired straight from the mix itself — it’s minimal but totally packs a punch! I inked up two shells from the new Stitched Seashells Dies and added some whimsy with the new Stitched Coral Dies. These sets play so well together, like a perfect beach day!
To anchor the design, I added the new Seashell Border Die along the bottom — color coordinated, of course — and for the background, I used the gorgeous new Layered Seashells Stencil with my three fave inks. A little splatter here, a few pearls there, and a ribbon to finish it all off. I stamped a sentiment from the new Seashells Stamp Set, popped it on with the coordinating dies, and boom — instant ocean bliss!
For card number two, I couldn’t wait to play more with the new Stitched Seashells and Stitched Coral Dies. I inked everything up in fresh, beachy colors and paired it with the new Summer Words Stencil for the background — one of my absolute favorites for adding bold, fun texture or soft, subtle vibes depending on your inking style.
To keep things from getting too busy, I used the Seashell Border Die again — this time in crisp white — to break up the background and give my sentiment a cozy resting spot. I layered in the new Good Vibes Shadow Die and a sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips: Summer set, then sprinkled in white splatters, sparkle, pearls, and a bow. And just like that — card two is done and shining brighter than a beach sunrise!
Not one to waste those pretty leftovers, I whipped up a quick and adorable gift tag using the Wonky Stitched Rectangles. I added some leftover shells and coral, then topped it off with the For You Shadow Dies and a couple of blue hearts from the new Beach Town Clay Mix. Perfect for a gift bag, party straw, or a gift topper!
These new goodies are so much fun to play with and beyond perfect for all your summer-themed crafting — think cards, party décor, cupcake toppers, gift tags, and more. This release is pure sunshine and sea breeze — and I’m in love with every single piece!
Here’s a look from the team showcasing the products we’re featuring today.
Stay tuned for more inspiration and happy crafting, friends!
Hi crafty friends! Christina here, and it’s time for some more sneak peeks at the fabulous summer-themed June release. Today I’m super excited to give you the first look at the new Sandcastle Shaker and the new Summer Script die that I combined to create a fun beach day shaker card. Below you’ll find more sneak peek inspiration from the other designers, but first I’ll give you all the details about my card design!
I started by creating the layered background for my beach scene using the new Shoreline Borders to die cut colored cardstock and patterned paper. I adhered the sand layer first, on a light blue cardstock panel, covering about ⅔ of the panel. Before adding the water layers on the bottom third of the panel, I spattered them with a little Distress Ink and water.
I wanted to add some interest to the sky, so I got creative and used the dirt mound from the Big Dump Truck die set for the clouds and the new Summer Icons coordinating dies to create a sun, which I die cut from patterned paper. I glued these in place and trimmed away anything that overhung the background panel.
Next I constructed the Sandcastle Shaker using more patterned paper and filling it with Chocolate Shaker Beads – the colors are perfect for this sandcastle! To keep things simple, I constructed the shaker separate from the card design using thin foam strips and then attached it to my scene with glue. I adorned the castle with red flags and, from the Patriotic Stars Clay Confetti, a few white stars.
To finish things up, I added a greeting and a sentiment by combining the new Summer Script die with a couple of stamps from the new Sentiment Strips Stamp Set: Summer. I chose white cardstock for the Summer Script to coordinate with the clouds and the stars. And for the stamps, I heat embossed them on the same blue cardstock I used for the water before die cutting them with Sentiment Strip Dies and attaching them with foam squares. Finally, I tucked a little starfish from the new Seashell Border die set into the water to balance out my design.
Here are some more samples from the team…
And that’s it for my sneak peek at the new beachy-keen items. Thanks for stopping by! Join us again tomorrow for a look at more of the new June 5th release.
Welcome to the first day of sneak peeks for our June 5th release! This release includes five stamp sets (four with coordinating dies), five stencils, ten standalone dies, and four embellishments.
Hey there, crafty crew — it’s Arsenia here, and I’ve got a splash of sneak peeks to share using some seriously adorable new goodies: the new Seashells stamp set, Seashell Wreath stamp set, and Shoreline Border Dies. I created two ocean-inspired cards, and guess what? No alcohol markers in sight! Yep, I’m showing you how to make a big, colorful impact without picking up a single coloring pen.
I kept things bold and bright using just four dye ink colors — proof that less can definitely be more. Let’s dive right into the fun!
For this beauty, I created a dreamy faux watercolor effect — and it was so fun! I used watercolor paper, spritzed my dye-inked stamp images with water, then let the transformation happen. A few brush strokes here, a second stamp there, and boom — a soft, flowy look perfect for seashells. I used both new Seashells stamp set and Seashell Wreath stamp set! Once everything was die cut, it was time to build the background.
Enter: the gorgeous new Layered Coral Stencil Set. I inked it up using the same bold color combo, then layered it up with Coastal cardstock for some extra pop. A touch of vellum, using the Wonky Rectangles Dies, helped tone it down so my seashells could shine. I used a sentiment from Friend Greeting stamp setwithcoordinating dies and for a sub sentiment I used the new Sentiment Strips: Summer Stamp Set with the Sentiment Strip Dies! Add in some white gel pen highlights, a sprinkle of glittery “bubbles” (hello, Birthday Cake PopsandParty Flags Dies), and a little whimsical bow for good measure — ta-da! Ocean beauty!
Ready for another set? This time, I heat embossed the seashells from the Seashells Stamp Set, on colorful cardstock and gave them a little faux watercolor treatment with matching dye inks and a blending pen — subtle, soft depth that looks so dreamy! I die cut everything with the coordinating dies, added some gel pen sparkle, and used the Shoreline Borders Dies to create a wave out of patterned paper. (There are four shoreline styles in the set — so many possibilities!)
For the background, I went with the new Layered Seashell stencils and framed everything with my beloved Wonky Stitched Rectangles. Add in a sweet sentiment from the new Seashells stamp set and more glittery bubbles, plus a shimmery silver bow, and this card was ready to ride the tide.
Both of these cards are all about bold color, playful texture, and just enough sparkle to make a splash. I hope these ideas inspire you to get creative with your stash — even without traditional coloring!
