Hi friends! Sophie here today to share a fun project celebrating Halloween theme week! Stay tuned to the end to see a bonus project, too.

I am featuring the Halloween Corners stamps and coordinating dies for my projects today. This is a set that I’ve wanted to use for a while and I was excited to be able to feature it! Instead of making a card project, I opted to show how this set would be perfect to make little gift packages. I pulled out one of my favorites – the Gift Card Bag die set to make a little kraft colored gift bag. This is perfect for a little Halloween treat for a teacher, neighbor, friend, etc! I plan to put a little coffee gift card inside for a teacher this year.

For the bag I kept it pretty simple, but wanted to add some interest. I used white pigment ink and the Clouds Stencil for the background and did this before assembling the bag to make it easier to stencil. I also added some tissue paper inside the bag and some ribbon to finish the whole thing off! I love how the Halloween Corners set fits perfectly on the bag. There are a few different “corners” sets available in the shop, like Autumn flowers and Poinsettias for Christmas so you could swap those in here for other ideas, too!

As a little bonus card I also made this one featuring the Ghost Holder die combined with one of the sentiments from the Halloween Corners set. Actually, the Halloween Corners set has some pretty great sentiments and I think it’s worth it alone just for those, let alone the cute images too! 

I hope you leave feeling inspired. I’d love to know, do you craft for Halloween? It’s one of my favorites to create for! I’m all about the cute, not so spooky vibe.

Until next time, I hope you have a  wonderful day!

Hey friends, it’s Justin from @justanotebyjustin! Halloween Theme Week is here, and I’m excited to share a fun and festive Halloween card featuring a trio of stacked jack-o’-lanterns! This design combines the Stitched Pumpkins Dies with the Halloween Treat Buckets set and the Spooky Trees Background Stencil to create a colorful Halloween scene with lots of dimension and sparkle.

Creating the Stacked Pumpkins

I started by die cutting three pumpkins from Carrot Cardstock using the Stitched Pumpkin Dies. To give each pumpkin more depth, I blended the edges with Roar! Stellar Ink. I also used Slippery When Wet Stellar Ink to add color to the jack-o’-lantern faces and Overzealous Stellar Ink for the Leaf & Vines die cuts.

Rather than arranging the pumpkins in a traditional centered design, I stacked them from largest to smallest and offset the stack to the left-side of the card. This creates a playful focal point while keeping the card design feeling a little more unexpected.

I adhered the pumpkins with foam tape to give the stack plenty of dimension.

Creating a Spooky Background

For the background, I started with Lavender Cardstock and blended Crown Me Stellar Ink over the panel. I then layered the Spooky Trees Background Stencil on top and blended Shady Stellar Ink through the stencil to create the dark, spooky trees.

To add a little Halloween sparkle, I finished the background with splatters of Pearl Shimmer. I love how the shimmer catches the light against the deep purple background!

For the sentiment, I used the Halloween Treat Buckets Stamp Set and heat embossed “Trick or Treat” in white embossing powder onto Raven Cardstock. I used the Halloween Treat Bucket Coordinating Dies to cut out the sentiment before popping it up with foam tape.

A few sparkly embellishments finished off the card and added just the right amount of extra Halloween magic.

From Halloween stamps and dies to stencils and more, there are plenty of spooky favorites to help bring your Halloween card ideas to life. I hope this colorful stack of jack-o’-lanterns inspires you to have a little fun with your Halloween designs! Happy crafting!

Hello fellow crafters! Brenda here with you today for Day 3 of Halloween Theme Week!! I’ve combined several my favorite Halloween goodies on my card today. Let’s get started!

I started by die-cutting the mugs and decorative accessories in the Halloween Mugs Die Set from green, purple, orange, yellow, gray, black, black glitter and white cardstock. I used Distress Inks and blending brushes to add shading and dimension to all of the die-cuts, then adhered each individual element together with liquid glue. 

For the background, I blended purple, orange, yellow and green Distress Inks onto a panel of white cardstock through the Halloween Silhouettes Background Stencil using blending brushes and a light hand. The panel was die-cut with the largest die in the Stitched Torn Rectangles Die Set and adhered to an A2 panel of purple cardstock. The die-cuts were adhered to the background with liquid glue.

The “Boo” sentiment is from the Boo Greetings Stamp Set. It was white heat embossed onto purple cardstock, then cut out with the Coordinating Die. The sub-sentiment, from the Halloween Banner Greetings Stamp Set was white heat embossed onto green cardstock and cut out with a die from the Banner Greetings 3 Die Set. The sentiments were popped up with foam squares, along with a couple of candy corn die-cuts. I added some purple candies and black stars from the Candy Corn Carnival Clay Mix and added some highlights to some of the die-cuts with a white gel pen to finish off the card.

Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by!!

Hi crafty friends it’s Debbie here at Pretty Pink Posh and we are doing Halloween Theme Week all week. It’s nice to go back and see the previously released products with the new and pick up something you didn’t already have!

So let get started with my card using the adorable Halloween Critters stamp set and coordinating dies. I couldn’t wait to color them up and pair them with some of the new release products.

I stamped out two of the cute critters onto OLO Premium card stock and copic colored them in with E30-39, W0, W1, YR12-18, E40-43, R20-22, and T5-9. With the Halloween Critters coordinating dies I cut them out and added foam squares to the back.

With the Windowpane Plaid Stencil and a standard A2 panel of orange card stock on a grip mat. I pounced on Distress Oxide Rusty Hinge with one of the layers. Then with the second layer I used a Black Pigment ink to pounce it on as well. Next, with the largest Pinking Rectangle Dies I die-cut out a piece of vellum. 

Then with the largest Pinking Ovals Dies, I die-cut out from black card stock. It needed the Boo Word Shaker Dies, of course! So I die-cut the outer die from the Boo Word Shaker Die out using the same card stock five times to build up my well for the Classic Halloween Shaker Beads. Also with the outer die cutting out a piece of acetate for the window and a back piece to hold all the beads in. Then with the five layers I die-cut out the center using the inner die piece, attaching them with liquid glue. Leaving one for on top of the acetate window. 

I stamped out the “Happy Haunting” using the Sentiment Strips: Halloween stamp set and die-cut it out with the Sentiment Strips Dies. 

It still felt like it was missing something so I went back into my stash looking for the right size of candy! The Halloween Treat Buckets stamp set had just what I was looking for. So I stamped and colored them out with the same copic colors. Then with the Halloween Treat Buckets coordinating dies I die-cut them out and popped them up with foam squares. To finish off my card I add some white highlights using a white gel pen. 

I think it turned out so cute, and it’s so fun to mix then older and newer products together! I hope you were inspired by this card.

Come back tomorrow for another Halloween project from the team. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Crafty Friends, it’s Catherine here! It’s Halloween Theme Week at Pretty Pink Posh, and today I’m sharing a spooky silhouette card featuring the Halloween Silhouettes Set, Pinking Ovals, and Spooky Trees Stencil. The Halloween Silhouettes set includes lots of fun, images that you can combine to create your own eerie scene. 

To begin, I created a soft background by blending Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Ink through the Spooky Trees Stencil. I lightly splattered the panel with the same ink diluted with water to add a bit of texture, then set it aside to dry.

Next, I die cut ovals from white, pink, lavender, mint, and black glitter cardstock and layered them over the spooky tree background.

I stamped the silhouettes and sentiment from Halloween Silhouettes using a deep black ink, then cut them out with the coordinating dies. I arranged and adhered the images to the card front and layered the sentiment over vellum. To finish the card, I added a thin black mat and a few sparkling crystal gems. 

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope you enjoyed this spooky Halloween card! Be sure to visit again tomorrow for more Halloween inspiration!

Hi everyone! It’s Wanda here and I’m happy to be a guest on the PPP Blog today! I’m sharing a card I made with the brand new Fall Scarecrows stamp set, along with a lot of other favorite fall stamps and dies from PPP!

My finished card is a white A2 card base. I layered a bit of sunshiney gingham and then die cut out a panel using the Pinking Rectangles. I used the Clouds Stencil to ink up a blue cloudy sky.

Next I stamped and die cut out all the elements. I colored everything with my Copic Markers and added small gel pen accents. I die cut some grass using the Grass Border Die, and cut out a white picket fence using the Spooky Fence Die (not spooky here!)…. I stamped and die cut the sentiment using the Autumn Pumpkins set. When I put the card together I used foam squares to add depth and dimension.

I am so ready for the pumpkin patch! AND a gorgeous new release from Pretty Pink Posh! Thanks for the chance to share with you today. Happy Crafting!

Hi crafty friends, it’s Fall Y’all! It’s Debbie here and I absolutely love fall and this new release from Pretty Pink Posh did not let us down! Love all the new fall dies, stamps and the stencils so perfect for the cozy fall background!

For my card today I am using the new Acorn Shaker Dies, instead of making it a shaker I went with the die cuts only. They would be very cute with pattern paper or better yet make a pattern with one of the new stencils!

Acorn Shaker Dies
Stitched Leaves Dies
Happy Fall Stamp
Happy Fall Coordinating Dies
Sentiment Strips Dies
Gingham Stencil
Rounded Stitched Rectangles Dies

I started off by die-cutting out the Acorn Shaker Die from a kraft and brown card stocks, adding shading on the edges with a dye ink. Then with a white gel pen I added highlights to it. 

With the Stitched Leaves Dies, I die-cut out 3 pairs of the leaves (Oak, Maple and Pointed leaves) from yellow, burnt orange and green card stocks adding shading to all of them for dimension. I love the Stitched Leaves so much they’re such a great addition to my stash, I’ll be adding them to all my fall cards!

Next, with the Gingham Stencil and a panel of the burnt orange card stock. I applied a them both on a grip mat and blended on a dye ink that was a shade darker then the card stock. Then with the largest Rounded Stitched Rectangle Dies I die-cut out the panel, matting it with the the same brown card stock as the top of the acorn.

Using the new Happy Fall stamp set, I stamped and heat embossed the “Fall” from the set using a cream embossing powder.  With the Coordinating Dies I cut it out and popped it up with foam square to the backside on the right side under the ”L”. In the stamp set there is also a small “Hello” that I stamped out in a brown dye ink and with the thinnest Sentiment Strips Dies I die-cut it out.

Thanks for stopping by and have a cozy day!

Hello crafty friends, it’s June! Today I’m sharing this shaker card I made using only products from the new fall release. Yes you read that right, all products I used are new! That doesn’t happen very often for me because I keep returning to old favorites, but this release is packed with products that are right up my alley and this card definitely shows that.

I started off by making a shaker using the new Fall Word Shaker, cutting the frame piece from light orange cardstock and the back panel from a darker shade to add some contrast. I filled the shaker with the Blush Harvest Shaker Beads, which inspired my entire color palette. I added some white gel pen highlights on the shaker element aswel as all the other die cut pieces I’ll be adding, like the acorns from the Fall Holder Additions. I love this set so much with all its tiny fall dies! 

I cut one of the Pinking Circles from white cardstock and masked off the border using post-it note tape so I could ink blend on just the inner circle. I used Distress Oxides in the colors Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold and Saltwater Taffy for the blend, and splattered inks in a shade darker on top, which were Wild Honey, Spiced Marmelade and Worn Lipstick.

I cut 2 of the Wide Leaf Shaker from yellow cardstock and used that same Wild Honey ink to darken up some parts. I added them in the corners underneath the circle layer, going off the card base. Speaking of the card base, I cut a panel from white cardstock and blended my own background using my absolute favorite of the new stencils! I used Tea Dye Distress Oxide and went in with a very light hand to add some color to the panel first, before using the Windowpane Plaid stencils to create a tone-on-tone print. 

As a finishing touch, I added some of the Upright Greetings: Fall to the other 2 corners to fill the empty space and turn the shaker into an actual sentiment saying ‘Happy Fall Greetings’. And that finishes my card!

I hope you’re enjoying seeing the amazing cards the Design Team has created this month because I was absolutely blown away by the cards I’ve seen so far! I hope to see you again soon, bye!

Hello! Christina here to share another autumn-inspired card featuring products from the latest release. I used the new Fall Bucket Additions to create this adorable scarecrow bucket and filled it with a bounty of fall leaves and apples. The background is a new stencil called Wheat Pattern that I just can’t get enough of. It’s the perfect backdrop to any fall card.

Let’s start with the background. As I mentioned above, I used the new Wheat Pattern stencil for this card. I chose artichoke green ink and stenciled the pattern onto an ivory cardstock panel that I die-cut using the largest Stitched Torn Rectangles. Then I added distressing to the panel by lightly blending brown ink around the edges and spattering it with a Mica Stain for a little sparkle. Finally, I mounted this onto an artichoke green cardstock panel trimmed to 4.25 x 5.5 inches and attached it to a top-fold card base.

Next, I die-cut all the elements to build the scarecrow bucket and the leaves and apples to fill it. I used a wood-grain-patterned paper for the actual bucket pieces and added shading before assembling it. To dress up the bucket for fall, I chose the scarecrow, but there are a few different options in the set, including an adorable Thanksgiving turkey. I added pink cheeks to his face and used a plaid-patterned paper for his hat. I assembled all the bucket pieces and attached them to my background panel using foam squares. This left plenty of room to tuck in an abundant amount of fall leaves and apples. I chose traditional fall colors for these elements and added shading to the pieces before assembling and attaching them. 

My last steps included adding a sentiment and a few white gel pen highlights. I stamped and heat-embossed my sentiment with cream embossing powder on kraft cardstock, then I used the coordinate die for the ‘thankful’ word and a small sentiment strip for the rest of the sentiment. I added highlights to the apples and his eyes to finish up my card design.

Thank you so much for reading about this adorable fall bucket card I created featuring new products from the latest collection. Happy crafting!

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here, and today I’m sharing a fun fall card featuring the adorable Mouse Holder, Fall Bucket Additions, and Fall Holder Additions from Pretty Pink Posh’s latest release! This little mouse is just too cute, and I decided to dress him up as a sweet scarecrow using accessories from the Fall Bucket Additions set.

To begin, I created a soft, cloudy background on an A2-sized piece of white cardstock using the Clouds Stencil. cardstock. I then added a decorative border by die cutting the panel with the largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles set. 

Next, I die cut the mouse and all the coordinating pieces from white cardstock. I added color with Distress Oxides using the following combinations: 

Body– Hickory Smoke
Inner Ears and Tummy– Tattered Rose
Eyes and Mouth– Black Soot
Nose– Kitsch Flamingo
Cheeks– Spun Sugar

For the scarecrow look, I die cut the hat and hair from the Fall Buckets Additions set. I created a fun plaid pattern on the hat using the Windowpane Plaid Stencils and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide. I added hand a coordinating hat band and ink blended it with the same color. 

For extra detail, I used the mouth stitching die from the Fall Bucket Additions set to create the stitched accent on the hat. I lightly ink blended the stitches with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide and colored the straw like hair with Tea Dye and Scattered Straw. 

To create the bucket, I first ran a piece of white cardstock through my die cut machine with the Checkered Pierced Plate Die for texture. I then die cut the bucket and handle from the Candy Bucket set and ink blended both pieces with Scattered Straw and Antique Linen Distress Oxides. 

Next came the fun fall embellishments! I die cut leaves and pumpkins from the Fall Holder Additions and Fall Bucket Additions Die sets and ink blended them with the following Distress Oxide combinations: 

Turquoise– Salvaged Patina, Weathered Wood
Orange– Carved Pumpkin, Dried Marigold, Gathered Twigs
Red– Candied Apple, Ripe Persimmon
Green– Bundled Sage, Peeled Paint

I splattered the turquoise and orange pumpkins with coordinating watercolors diluted with water for a little extra texture and interest. 

For the bottom of the scene, I die cut the grass from white cardstock using the Grass Border Die. I a few splatters of blue watercolor before adhering all the elements onto the cloudy background. 

For the sentiment, I die cut the word “FALL” from the Fall Bucket Additions set and ink blended them with Ripe Persimmon and Dried Marigold. I paired it with a red stamped “Greetings: to create the finished sentiment. To complete the card, I added a crisp white border along with a few clear enamel dots.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope you enjoyed this sweet little fall scarecrow mouse card and that it inspires you to create your own fun project with Pretty Pink Posh’s latest release! Happy Crafting!
