Ink Blended Popsicles

Hi friends! It’s Christina and I have the sweetest summertime card to share with you today! My card features the popsicles that are included in the new Summer Bucket Additions die set. I think these popsicles are just the cutest, and I knew they would make a bright and cheerful summertime card all on their own. I combined them with some other new products from the latest collection, including the Sunburst Pierced Plate and the Large Summer Shadow Dies. Take a peek at my supplies for this card, and then we’ll get started!

Summer Bucket Addition Dies
Sunburst Pierced Plate
Large Summer Shadow Dies
Summer Banner Greetings Stamp Set
Valentine Banner Greetings Stamp Set
Banner Greetings 1 Dies
Bright Rainbow Clay Confetti

My first step was to create the rainbow of popsicles that is my focal point for this landscape card design. I started with a large piece of white cardstock and ink-blended a variety of inks from different companies across the entire panel. I used Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks along with Sherbet, Zest, and Cadette SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks to create my blend. Then I die-cut the popsicles from the areas I liked best and added the popsicle sticks. 

Next, I die-cut the Sunburst Pierced Panel from white cardstock and arranged the popsicles on it in an arc shape, securing them with glue. I customized the banner sentiment by combining sentiments from two Banner Greetings Stamp Sets, Summer and Valentine, to say “have the sweetest.”

I paired this with the Large Summer Shadow Dies that I die-cut from white and black cardstocks. The finishing touch was to add a few clay confetti as embellishment before popping the card front onto a card base. 

Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you have a sweet summer!

Flamingo Hibiscus Bucket

Hi crafty friends, it is Debbie here! I’m super excited to share the new Summer Bucket Additions Dies from the June release here at Pretty Pink Posh. I adore this Flamingo Add-on with the previously released Candy Bucket Dies. I went with florals in my bucket filling it up using the Hibiscus Flower Dies

Candy Bucket Die
Banner Greetings 3 Dies

I started off with the Layered Tropical Leaves Stencil and a standard A2 panel of Neenah card stock on a grip mat. With both layers I inked them with teal dye inks in two shades. After I was done with the two stencils I went back over the panel with residual ink on my brush. Then with the darkest teal ink I went over the edges of the panel. 

Next, I die-cut out the Candy Bucket and the Summer Bucket Addition Flamingo. Adding dimension on the edges with a dye ink. Then I die-cut out two of the small Hibiscus Flowers from pink card stock. And went back and die-cut out the medium size from the orange card stock. 

Once I started to lay out my design I needed some smaller flowers to fill in between the Hibiscus Flowers, with the Summer Holder Additions Dies there is a small flower die that I die-cut out from white card stock. 

I love floral baskets with spike plants making it more funky!  So with the Tropical Leaves Dies, I die-cut out some of the leaves from a green teal card stock and tucked them in behind the flowers.

Then I stamped out the “Summer Greetings” from the Summer Banner Greetings stamp set with the teal dye ink. Then, I die-cut it out with the Banner Greetings 3 Dies.

I hope you like my floral bucket using the Flamingo from the Summer Bucket Additions!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Bear Friend

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here, and today I’m sharing a sweet friendship card featuring the Bear HolderBee AdditionsCheckered Pierced PlateEyelet Hexagons, and the Honeycomb Stencil. With a honey-loving bear, buzzing bees, and sweet honey-themed accents, this cheerful design is perfect for sending a sweet greeting to a special friend!

To begin, I created a soft honeycomb background by ink blending Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink through the Honeycomb Stencil onto a panel of A2 white cardstock.

Next, I die cut a pierced front panel from white cardstock with the Checkered Pierced Plate. Using the largest die from the Eyelet Hexagons, I created a hexagon window by trimming away the center with a craft knife. I then adhered the eyelet frame around the window opening, securing it with light adhesive along the edges.

For the focal image, I die cut the adorable bear from the Bear Holder Dies, along with the coordinating eyes, nose, ears, and snout from white cardstock. The bear and snout were ink blended with Gathered Twigs and Antique Linen Distress Oxide Inks, while Black Soot was used for the eyes, nose, and ears. I added soft rosy cheeks using Kitsch Flamingo.

I stamped and die cut the remaining images with the coordinating dies and colored them with Copic Markers listed below. I adhered the bear to the honeycomb background and layered the hexagon window on top. I arranged the bees around the frame and tucked the honeypot and honey dipper into the bears arms.

Copic Markers:

  • Honey Pot- BG11, BG10, BG000, C1, C0
  • Honey- YR23, Y13, Y11
  • Honey Dipper- E33, E31, E30
  • Bee- Y15, Y13, Y00, R20, C5, C3, C1, C0, BG01, BG000

To complete the card, I added the sentiment with “You’re A Sweet” white heat embossed on black cardstock, paired with a stamped “Friend” from the Hello Friend set, and finished with a black enamel dot on the bottom.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope this card inspires you to create something sweet! Happy crafting!

Pastel Birthday

Hi Everyone! It’s Melissa here with you today, and I’m bringing you a fun, happy birthday card, using some playful and unique Pretty Pink Posh products. My birthday is just around the corner, and I thought it would be fun to create a card to celebrate!

I began with the Star Cover Plate Die and layered it over a block of white cardstock using dimensional adhesive.  Before layering the two together though, I added color to the base layer that you could see peeking out from each star.  I focused on my favorite pastels in pinks, yellows, aquas, and a bit of green.

Next, I die cut a vellum layer from the Eyelet Diamonds Dies.  I added it to the center of my card, just above the scrunched seam binding bow that I wrapped around the lower portion of my card.

My sentiment was die cut using the Happy Birthday Shadow Dies and I added them to the center of my card to shine in the spotlight!  

I couldn’t wait to bring in a bit of florals and chose to use the Spring Foliage Dies. I love their sweet, pierced details and the variety of shapes and sizes they come in. After I nestled them in a few of the star-shaped openings, I added one last detail in the form of a secondary sentiment.  I used the Party Time stamp set and added my chosen sentiment to a die cut Banner Greetings 3 die. I tucked it under a few flower petals on a fun diagonal.

Happy Summer crafting!

Let’s Hang Out

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Hanh and I am so excited to be here with you. Today I have a fun summery shaker card to share with you featuring several products from the latest release: the Summer Drink Shaker DiesRainbow Sherbet Shaker Beads, Flamingo Holder DiesSummer Holder Additions DiesTropical Leaves Dies, Sunburst Pierced Plate Die and Summer Banner Greetings stamp set. So let’s get started.

For the shaker, I used the Summer Drink Shaker Dies to diecut two solid glasses (one out of Bristol Smooth cardstock, one out of clear acetate) and six white glass outlines (using the glass die and inside window die together). I ink blended color onto the solid glass with Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide inks. Five of the six glass outlines were stacked and adhered to each other with liquid glue before they were adhered to the inked solid glass to create the shaker well. I added some Rainbow Sherbet Shaker Beads into the well before closing off the shaker with the clear acetate solid glass diecut. I topped off the shaker with the last white glass outline. 

Next, I diecut the large umbrella and lemon slice using the Summer Drink Shaker, the flamingo using the Flamingo Holder Dies, the small glass and umbrella using the Summer Holder Additions Dies and the leaves using the Tropical Leaves Dies out of teal, kraft, white and black cardstock. I ink blended with leaves with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. And I colored the remaining white diecuts with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen. I assembled the elements with liquid glue.

COPIC MARKERS
Flamingo: RV000/00/02/04/06, Y17/38
Small drink: Y13/15, Y17/38 YR04, RV13/14
Lemon slice: Y11/13, Y15/19

For the background, I used the Sunburst Pierced Plate Die to diecut a white panel which was then slightly trimmed down and matted with a piece of teal cardstock. I adhered the leaves, shaker and flamingo using liquid glue. I did pop some foam tape behind the large umbrella and small drink for a bit of dimension. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”).

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Let’s hang out” sentiment from the Summer Banner Greetings stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of teal cardstock. I used one of the dies from the Banner Greetings 1 Dies to diecut out the sentiment. It was then adhered to the panel with foam tape. 

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to check out all of the amazing summer themed products from the latest release. Be sure to head on over to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop for more info and inspirations. 

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Ink Blended Hibiscus Flowers

Aloha! Christina here to share a vibrant floral card design showcasing the new Hibiscus Flowers Dies. These ink-blended beauties are easy to create and make the perfect focal point for your card design. I combined them with a big, bold greeting, the Large Summer Shadow Die, and to contrast the scripty text and the organic shapes of the flowers, I gave them a geometric background using the Checkered Pierced Plate. Check out my supply list and then I’ll walk you through the steps to create this vibrant floral card.

Hibiscus Flowers Dies
Large Summer Shadow Dies
Happy Summer Stamp Set
Checkered Pierced Plate
Rounded Stitched Rectangle Dies

4mm Clear Droplets

My first step was to create the vibrant ink-blended flowers that are my focal point. I started by ink-blending Distress Inks onto a white cardstock panel. I chose Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed Lemonade, and Mustard Seed, blending them across the entire panel before spattering the panel with not only more ink but also plain water too. This gave the ink-blending some texture and interest. Then I die-cut the flowers and the flower centers from the ink-blended panel, positioning the dies on the areas that I liked the best. 

I used the same process for the leaves of the flowers, choosing Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Pine Needles Distress Inks for the ink-blending.

My next step was to assemble the die-cuts and arrange them on a white Checkered Pierced background panel. I used foam squares to attach the flowers and tucked the leaves underneath, securing them with glue. I decided to frame up my design and used the largest Rounded Stitched Rectangle to die-cut a white cardstock panel and used the negative space as the frame. 

To finish things up, I used the leftover green ink-blended cardstock panel to die-cut the word “summer” and heat-emboss the word “greetings” with white embossing powder before die-cutting it with a sentiment strip. I combined them on my card front and added some 4 mm Clear Droplets for embellishment. Finally, I popped the card front onto a top-fold card base.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you’re inspired to do some ink-blending of your own! See you again soon!

Colorful Present Shaker

Hi crafty people! It’s Rachel here today with a bug-tastic shaker party card. I always love a shaker card; it is one of my favorite types of cards. Today I mixed and matched some products from the May 2026 release with older products. Mixing and matching my Pretty Pink Posh products is always so fun! 

Let’s start with creating our card base. I cut a piece of white paper to 6 1/2 x 5 inches. I needed a larger size to fit all my elements onto the card. Part of the bottom I ink blended in green, and the top in a light blue.   

Then I started working on my present shaker by die-cutting all the elements from pastel colors. I used the Present Shaker Die. The acetate I attached to the backside of the frame and adhered to the details while my shaker was still flat. After that, I went around my purple base piece from the present die with thin foam strips. Filled it up with the Spring Breeze Shaker Beads and put my frame on top.  

I die-cut all the elements I wanted to use to create my bugtastic party. I chose Stitched Bugs Die, Caterpillar Holder Die, Everyday Branches Die and the Birthday Holder Additions Die. Add ink blending around the edges to create shading. Assembled all of them and started laying it out on my card base. I like to do this before going in with adhesive because you can still play around with the position of all your die cuts.  

For my sentiment “Wish” from the Birthday Holder Additions die, I thought it would be fun to die-cut it out of the colors I used on my card. So, I die-cut it 5 times, four times out of the colors I used on my card and once out of white to layer my colored letters on. I used my small scissors to cut each letter out of a different color, then used liquid glue to attach them to my white cut cardstock.  

Then it was time to assemble my card; I used a combination of liquid glue and foam tape for this. I always like to have different heights on my cards. Especially when working with a shaker. So, I can have some elements of the same height as my shaker piece. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post. I hope you like these treat boxes and are inspired to make your own. Mix and match your products to decorate them. 

Don’t forget to follow  me on Instagram @cards.byrachel for more crafting inspiration.

Patriotic Popsicles

Hi friends! Sophie here. I am thrilled to be back on the blog today sharing a fun, summer-inspired card featuring the new June release. Let’s dive in!

For this card I wanted to show how you can use little images from larger sets to create a fun, simple card. I was inspired by the traditional “bomb popsicles” with their iconic red, white, and blue color scheme to make a little collection of popsicles! This popsicle comes from the Summer Bucket Additions die set – this set is FILLED to the brim with images that can be used well-beyond just with the fun treat bucket dies they were designed for. 

For the background I am using the new Sunburst Pierced Plate – this is easily one of my favorite cover plates of all time! I love the subtle texture and how it brings the eye in to the center of the card where I placed my sentiment. This sentiment comes from the Summer Banner greetings set, the banner die is from Banner Greetings 3 dies. I love the pinked edge of this banner!

To finish off the card I sprinkled a few Sparkling Clear confetti as a last touch.

Hope this inspired you! See you back here soon with more inspiration!

Squishy Summer Drink Card

Hi friends, it’s Carly here. Have you ever made a card that sparkles and squishes? I’m so excited to share this one with you! 

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

I used the Summer Drink Shaker to create a window and then I made a squishy pocket to fit behind it. It looks like a yummy tropical drink and it’s fun to squish!

I used glitter paste colored with reinker but there are many other mediums you could try, I’ve even heard that hair gel is fabulous! And I used a laminator pouch but scrap plastic or even a sandwich bag would work too.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial.
