Thinking of You Bee

Hi crafty friends, have you heard the buzz? Pretty Pink Posh May Release is buzzing with cuteness! Sorry, I had to add some fun with puns! Debbie here with the Bee Shaker Die that is part of this huge release of all kinds of cute insects, which we all love on paper!

Bee Shaker Die
Thinking of You Shadow Dies
Eyelet Hexagons Dies
Layered Bee Additions Stencils
Bee Happy Shaker Beads

I started off with the Layered Bee Additions Stencils and a standard A2 white panel on a grip mat. Using dye inks I colored on the hives and honey pots. After I removed the stencils, I went back over the panel with the residual ink left on my brush to calm the white down. Matting the panel with a black cardstock that was 1/8 inch bigger on all sides. 

Next, with the Bee Shaker Die I die-cut it out 5 times with both of the dies to make the shaker windows from white card stock and then once with black for the top.  With the outer die I die-cut out some acetate for the window, and another white, blue and Honeycomb card stocks. Trimming off the wings to both colored card stock and attaching to the full white bee panel.

Once the layers for the shaker were adhered together I filled up the Bee Shaker with Bee Happy Shaker Beads then attached the back panel with liquid glue. I flipped it back over and added its cute little face with just a dab of liquid glue.

With the largest Eyelet Hexagons Dies I die-cut from white card stock and attached to the stenciled panel, then the Bee shaker on top at an angle.

Next, with the Thinking of You Shadow Dies I die-cut out the shadow and lettering from black and honeycomb card stocks adhering it together with liquid glue. With the sentiment overlaying the Bee Shaker I did have to add double foam squares to the back only where the bee shaker wouldn’t bee!

Thanks for stopping by and have a Bee-utiful Day!

Peekaboo Spring Scene

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here, and today I’m sharing a playful peekaboo window card featuring the adorable Cute Bugs, Dandelions, Hello Friend, and Rounded Stitched Rectangles from the latest release. The Cute Bugs set is packed with charming little critters—perfect for creating a sweet garden scene full of personality.

To begin, I created the sky background by ink blending with the Layered Clouds Stencils using Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides on A4 white cardstock. I then used the largest die from the Rounded Stitched Rectangles die set to round the corners. 

Next, I created two grassy borders from white cardstock using the Grass Border Die—one measuring 2″ high and the other 1¼” high. I ink blended the taller border with Rustic Wilderness and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxides, and the shorter border with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxides. To match the card design, I rounded the bottom corners of the taller grass piece using the same rounded rectangle die.

For the interactive detail, I die cut a peekaboo window into the lower left side of the taller grass border. To create the window background, I ink blended a scrap of white cardstock with Gathered Twigs and Antique Linen Distress Oxides, then splattered it with white and brown acrylic paint for added texture before setting it aside to dry. 

Copic Markers:

  • Dandelions-Y15, Y13, Y11, Y00, RV00, RV000
  • Stems, Grass Patches, and Leaves- YG17, YG03, YG01
  • Butterfly- BV00, BV000, RV0000
  • Caterpillar- Y13, Y11, Y000, YG11, YG01, YG00, BG01, BG000, BG0000, RV00, RV000, YR01, YR00, YR000, R20
  • Lady Bug- R24, R22, R20, C1, C0
  • Worm- RV00, RV000, R22, R21, R20

I stamped and die cut images from the Cute Bugs, Hello Friend, and Dandelions sets, then colored them with the Copic markers listed below. The little worm was adhered to the dirt background and placed behind the peekaboo window for a fun surprise!

To finish the card, I added a white heat embossed “Hello” sentiment and framed the design with a white rounded rectangle border.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check out this adorable new release, packed with lovable critters, coordinating stencils, a fun stitched cover plate, and eyelet hexagons. Happy crafting!

[Video Hop + Giveaways!] Happy Bee Shaker

Hello, friends! It’s Caly with you today, celebrating the release of the Pretty Pink Posh May 2026 release!  For today’s video hop, I’ve made a card featuring the Bee Shaker. 

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

I added the beehive to give it a full scene, but the Beehive Shaker Dies can be used as a standalone centerpiece on any card! The Everyday Branches helps create pops of color against the yellow of the beehive and bee.

To give my bee more color, I pieced it together using black, yellow, and white cardstock. I made to sure to add more color with the addition of pink on the bee’s wings and in the honeycomb background.

The bee’s shaker window is filled with Bee Happy Beads from this release for the bee’s body and Iridescent Mini Circle Confetti for the wings.

To finish my card, I added a stamped sentiment using the new Everyday Banner Greetings stamp set and die-cut a fishtail banner using the Banner Greeting 1 Die set.

I hope you enjoyed this project! Be sure to hop along and leave a comment along each video stop for your chance to win a $20 gift certificate to shop Pretty Pink Posh!

Have a great day!

Hello Everyone! It is Zsofi here today with a cute caterpillar card using the May release. It is absolutely unique and full of cheerful little garden critters, perfect for the season. This card was heavily inspired by the famous children’s book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Let me show you how I made it.

First I cut the Caterpillar Holder die 3 times from different shades of green cardstock. I kept the negatives to use as a template later. I also cut the head from a red scrap piece, masked off the head under the little aentenna with a piece of post-it and blended it with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide ink. On the red it really looks purplish, just like in the book. I did the same with the little arms. Then I die cut the eyes and mouth from the darkest green cardstock and found a slightly bigger pair of circles in the Stitched Dandelions die set, which I cut from yellow cardstock to layer it under the green eyes.

I wanted the background to have some texture while still resembling the children’s book, so the new Checkered Pierced Plate was the perfect choice. I cut it from white heavy weight cardstock, and using one of the negative pieces of the caterpillar holder die cuts as a template, I assembled the little critter and adhered all the pieces directly on the background.

I wanted some leaves for this cutie to munch on, so I die cut two leaves from the Everyday Branches die set and used the edge of a dandelion die to create the “bite”. It looks so cool, having this very hungry caterpillar holding those half-eaten leaves! 

I wanted to keep the sentiment simple yet encouraging, just like the main message of the book. So I die cut the Large Hello Shadow die from gold sparkle cardstock and the shadow from vellum. 

I also die cut 2 green flags with the Banner Greetings 3 die set and white heat embossed some encouraging words from the Everyday Banner greetings stamp set to complete the message. I popped them up under the big Hello using 3D foam squares for extra dimension.

Thanks for stopping by, I hopoe you were inspired by this card!

May Intro: Sneak Peek Day 4

Welcome to Day 4 of sneak peeks for the May 14th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the new stamps and stencils. In this release, there are five new stamp sets (four with coordinating dies) and five new stencils.

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

Hi everyone! Melissa Phillips here with you today and I am so happy to be celebrating the new May Release from Pretty Pink Posh. 

I’m sharing a couple of cards created with the new stencils and stamps you’ll find in the May Release.  You’re in for such a treat! 

My first card uses the darling, new Dandelions stamps and coordinating dies. I began with the new Checkered Pierced Plate die to create my soft, textural background.  I stenciled dandelions across my card base using the new Dandelion Background stencil. It’s so irresistible! From there I’ve used the new Rounded Stitched Rectangles die to create a scene for my dandelions. The base rectangle was cut from vellum and the top was cut from white cardstock and ink blended in coordinating colors.

Each dandelion was cut from white cardstock and then stamped in shades of yellow and pale green.  I then ink blended coordinating colors over each, stem, leaf, and dandelion.  I arranged them using dimensional adhesive to make them pop up off the card. 

My sentiment comes from the new Everyday Banner Greetings stamp set and Banner Greetings 1 dies. Accent flowers were cut and ink blended using the Stitched Spring Flowers dies. Who would’ve thought weeds could be so cute? 

My second card warms my heart!  I’ve used the new Honeycomb stencil to create my background. I stenciled bright aqua ink over an aqua cardstock background and then added a bit of splattering using coordinating Distress Spritz. 

I used the Eyelet Hexagons dies to create my focal point. These come in a variety of sizes and layer together so perfectly.  I added stamped and die cut bumblebees using the new Bee Additions stamps and coordinating dies.  They are the cutest, happiest bumblebees!

My sentiment comes from the new Large Hello Shadow die. I love this beautiful, bold sentiment, don’t you? 

The sweet tulips and tiny flowers were cut using the Stitched Spring Flowers dies. They make the sweetest accents and Iove adding them to my cards to finish things off.

Ready to see some wonderful samples from the team using these products? It’s so fun to see how we can use the same products in such a variety of ways!

It’s been so fun creating with you today. Stop by tomorrow to see the photo reveal of all the new products!

May Intro: Sneak Peek Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of sneak peeks for the May 14th release. We are showcasing the Bee Shaker, Beehive Shaker, Thinking of You Shadow Word Die, and the Eyelet Hexagons die sets today.

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

Hi Friends! Emily here with you today sharing two sweet as can bee cards using the soon-to-be-released products. The Bee Shaker is absolutely adorable, especially buzzing around a bright and cheerful flower garden.

I assembled the Bee Shaker using black cardstock for the outline, white with yellow ink-blended cardstock for the body, and white cardstock wings with light blue ink-blended tips.

For the shaker bits, I used the Bee Happy shaker beads. And of course, for extra cuteness, I added googly eyes and a sweet smile. I created the colorful garden using the Stitched Spring Flower Dies, which I adhered to a Rounded Stitched Rectangle background panel. For the black & white sentiment, I die-cut the Thinking of You Shadow Word die with a stamped and snipped “of you” from the Thinking Of You sentiment from the Simple Sentiments stamp set. 

Receiving a Just Bee-cause card will always brighten a friend’s day! My cheerful card features the Beehive Shaker with a lace-like honeycomb background using the Eyelet Hexagons. I die-cut the bee hive from white cardstock twice – once for the hive background that I ink-blended with a bright yellow and a second time for the hive inlay pieces that I ink-blended in honey yellow. I adhered the inlay pieces to the hive base and, for extra dimension, added white ink splatters. Then I stamped and colored with OLO markers the adorable bee images from the Bee Additions and Bee Friends stamp sets. 

The background was created by layering and stacking Eyelet Hexagon pieces to a white card panel. For extra dimension and charm, I stamped the center of each hexagon with a floral image with light gray ink from the Spring Blooms stamp set. 

Be sure to check out the incredible inspiration from the rest of the design team below, and don’t forget to visit the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel for in-depth sneak peeks.

Thanks for buzzing by and have bee-utiful day! Be sure to swing by tomorrow for even more inspiration with this fun, new collection.

May Intro: Sneak Peek Day 2

It’s Day 2 of sneak peeks for our May 14th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the Snail Shaker, Caterpillar Holder, Stitched Dandelions, and Rounded Stitched Rectangles die sets.

In this release, there are five stamp sets, four coordinating dies, 12 standalone dies, five stencils, and four embellishments.

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

Hi friends, it’s Christina! This release is full of irresistible bugs, the sweetest bees, and some new must-have basics that you are going to love. To give you a glimpse of what’s in store, I have two cards to share with you today. My first card features the latest critter holder, the Caterpillar Holder. I paired this adorable guy with the new Stitched Dandelions and the Rounded Stitched Rectangles for a darling summertime scene. My second card features one of the new shaker dies, the Snail Shaker. I nestled this cutie into lush garden greenery that I created using the new Everyday Branches. Let’s take a look at how these irresistible bug scenes came together!

My first step for the Caterpillar Holder card was to die-cut all the components for the caterpillar and the dandelions from colored cardstock. Even the white cardstock is actually an ivory color. Then, before assembling the die-cuts, I added subtle shading to the pieces with coordinating ink colors. Instead of opting for the usual black facial features for this guy, I chose Espresso Pearls for the eyes and a chocolate brown cardstock for his smile. 

Next, I created the background for my scene. First, I die-cut the new Checkered Pierced Plate from a happy sky blue cardstock and then layered on an ivory Rounded Stitched Rectangle Frame. To create the frame, I die-cut the largest and the second-largest dies together and saved the smaller rounded rectangle for another project. My next step was to arrange my die-cuts on the background panel and secure them in place using liquid glue and thin foam squares. My final steps were to add a wavy banner stamped with a sweet sentiment from the new Everyday Banner Greetings stamp set and attach the card front to a top-fold card base.

Now for the Snail Shaker card! This card has a few more steps, but the results are worth it, I think! My first step was to create the lush background scene. I used one of the Snowy Hills dies to die-cut a white A2 cardstock panel, separating what will be the dirt and what will be the greenery. To color the dirt layer, I used Distress Inks and then spattered the layer with more ink and an Oxide spray for texture and interest.

For the greenery, I also used Distress Inks and before spattering the panel with more ink and a white spatter medium, I stenciled on some leaves in a random pattern using a stencil I created. To create the leaf stencil, I used the negative space left after die-cutting the leaves from the Everyday Branches. You can die-cut them from acetate for a sturdier stencil, but I just used heavyweight cardstock. This is such an easy technique but has a big impact! To finish up the background, I attached the dirt and greenery panels to a card base. 

My next step was to construct the shaker. I die-cut the shaker frame piece seven times from fawn cardstock and layered them together, securing a piece of acetate between the top two layers for the window. I filled the shaker well with Chocolate Shaker Beads and then sealed the shaker with the backer piece. I finished the snail shaker by adding a rainforest green body piece, lightly inked around the edges, and Espresso Pearl eyes with a chocolate brown smile.

Before attaching the snail to my background, I finished the background scene with branches die-cut from woodgrain cardstock and leaves die-cut from two shades of green and spattered with ink. Then to break up all the green, I added a few white flowers. The last step was to add a greeting and a small sentiment, both from a new stamp set called Cute Bugs and both heat-embossed with white embossing powder. 

Keep scrolling to see more amazing inspiration from the design team!

Thank you so much for reading, and be sure to stop back tomorrow for Day 3 of sneak peeks. You won’t want to miss it!

May Intro: Sneak Peek Day 1

Welcome as we kick off the first day of sneak peeks for the May 14th release. In this release, there are five stamp sets, four coordinating dies, 12 standalone dies, five stencils, and four embellishments.

Hello crafty friends! Arsenia here, popping in with a little sprinkle of excitement and a whole lot of cuteness.

Oh my goodness, this release is bursting with spring and summer charm… and critters! Tiny, adorable, can’t-stop-smiling critters. Everything is just so stinking cute, I can hardly stand it! Today I’m sharing a few projects featuring the Stitched Bugs Dies (already a fast favorite!), the oh-so-versatile Everyday Branches (hello, scene building dreams!), and the bold and beautiful Large Hello Shadow Die.

Friends, this release truly has the cutest bugs ever. And those tiny faces? I mean… come on.  The Stitched Bugs set also includes an adorable ladybug and bee, so the creative possibilities are endless!

I have three cards and a tag to share today, all dressed up in one of my absolute favorite spring/summer color palettes. I kept lots of white space because, honestly, these bugs deserve the spotlight—they are just too cute to compete with!

Card One: Dragonfly Delight
For my first card, I fluttered over to the sweetest little dragonfly from the Stitched Bugs Dies. I layered up those wings for extra dimension (because more layers = more magic, right?). The base is one of the new Rounded Stitched Rectangles, and I created a soft little scene using the Everyday Branches along with florals from the Floral Wreath Builder Dies.

To finish it off, I added the most darling sentiment from the Everyday Banner Greetings stamp set—and voilà! A card that’s sure to bring instant smiles. And can we talk about that tiny face?! I’m obsessed. 

Card Two: Rainbow Snail Cutie
Next up… a snail, but make it rainbow!  I dove into my craft stash and pulled out my circle punches, layering and offsetting each color to create the happiest little snail shell.

I added in branches and leaves from the Everyday Branches Dies, kept the sentiment clean and simple with the Large Hello Shadow Die, and built it all on another Rounded Stitched Rectangle panel. A few glittery hearts later… voilà!

This one is all about sweet simplicity, and I love how that colorful snail totally steals the show.

Card Three + Tag: Caterpillar Cuteness
For my final card, I couldn’t resist the adorable caterpillar—seriously, how cute is this little guy?! And yes… I went rainbow again. Apparently that’s just the mood!

I perched him on a branch from the Everyday Branches, added some fluffy clouds from the Stitched Cloud Dies, and finished with the Large Hello Shadow Die. Everything sits on a Rounded Stitched Rectangle panel, and I tucked in a secondary sentiment from the Cute Bugs stamp set right onto a cloud.

Of course, I had to add a sprinkle of rainbow hearts (because… always), and I even made a matching tag to go with it. Double the cuteness, double the fun!

Be sure to check out the incredible inspiration from the rest of the design team below, and don’t forget to visit the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel for in-depth sneak peeks.

Join us again tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!

Many Thanks Box Card

Hello, crafters!! Brenda here with you!! I’m super excited to be sharing a box card featuring the Hummingbird Thanks Stamp Set, Stitched Spring Flowers Dies and the Scallop Box Card Die Set with you today!! The Scallop Box Card Dies create a dimensional pop-up card that folds flat to fit in an envelope for mailing!

I began by stamping the hummingbirds in the Hummingbird Thanks Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Copic-friendly black ink. I colored them with Copic markers using the following colors: G16, G05, G14, YG06, BG15, BG13, BG32, BG11, B66, B63, B60, RV14, RV13, RV21 & RV11. The Coordinating Dies were used to cut them out, then I used a white gel pen to add highlights.

The back, sides and three of the cross pieces in the Scallop Box Die Set were die-cut from heavyweight white cardstock. The pieces were folded along the stitching and reinforced with a bone folder. The scalloped detail dies were cut from aqua gingham cardstock and adhered to the white pieces with liquid glue. The pieces of the box were adhered together with strong double sided adhesive.

The flowers and leaves from the Stitched Spring Flowers Die Set were die-cut from pink, yellow and green cardstock. Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Rustic Wilderness Distress Inks were used to add shading to the die-cuts using blending brushes. I also added highlights to these with a white gel pen, then adhered them to the cross pieces of the box. Two of the hummingbird die-cuts were adhered to strips of strong acetate and adhered to the cross pieces, as well. 

The sentiment, also from the Hummingbird Thanks Stamp Set, was stamped onto white cardstock with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. Once it was dry, it was cut out with the Coordinating Die and adhered to the front of the box with liquid glue, along with the last hummingbird. I added Star Dust Stickles to the centers of the flowers and the wings of the hummingbirds to finish off the card.

Thank you so much for spending part of your day with me! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by!!

Brenda
