Hello Crafty Friends!  Catherine here, and I’m so excited to be joining in for Easter Theme Week at Pretty Pink Posh!  Today I’m sharing pair of sweet Easter egg-themed cards created with the Decorative Easter Egg Die, Easter Banner Greetings, and Banner Greetings 3 from the latest release! 

I also stretched my supplies by incorporating the adorable bunny and lamb from the Easter Tags set, along with the coordinating stamp sentiments for the inside of the cards. 

To begin, I created the card bases by partially die cutting the egg silhouette from the Decorative Easter Egg set from both ends of a panel of white cardstock. I trimmed remaining uncut areas with scissors and scored the center to form the fold. 

I then die cut two additional solid white egg bases and set them aside. Next, I die cut two decorative egg layers from white cardstock, removed all the decorative pieces and set them aside for a future project. I adhered the decorative layers onto the egg bases.

For the coloured inlays, I ink blended two A2 panels of white card stock. One panel features Salty Ocean and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide fading toward the top and the other blends Kitsch Flamingo at the bottom into Dried Marigold at the top. I carefully inlaid the blended pieces into the corresponding openings onto the white decorative eggs. 

To add texture and dimension, I die cut another decorative egg from textured white felt and added the felt bunnies to each egg base. 

For the sentiments, I die cut two banners from the Banner Greetings 3 set using white cardstock and vellum. I stamped “Bright Spring Wishes,” on one banner and Sending Spring Smiles,” on the other, layered the white banners over vellum, and adhered them to the eggs. 

Next, I die cut some flowers from Stitched Spring Flowers and ink blended them with the following Distress Oxides:

Blues– Salty Ocean, Cracked Pistachio
Pinks– Kitsch Flamingo, Mustard Seed

I arranged the flowers next to the banners. I stamped the lamb and bunny from the Easter Tag stamp set, fussy cut the images and colored them with Copic Markers listed below and adhered them onto the egg. 

• Bunny- W1, W0, W00, R20, RV00
• Lamb- W2, W1, E00, E000, R20, RV02, RV00,
• Flowers- RV02, RV00, RV000, YG13, YG11, G21, G000

I masked off “Ewe Are Special” and “Some Bunny Loves You” from the Easter Tag stamps and stamped the sentiments onto the inside of the card bases. 

To finish, I adhered the completed decorative eggs to the card fronts. I die cut bows from Beautiful Bows, ink blending one in Spun Sugar and the other in Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides. I adhered the bows onto the top of the eggs and added some crystal gems for extra sparkle!

Thanks so much for joining me today!

Hello, crafty friends! Brenda here with you today! Easter theme week is in full swing and I’m sharing a sweet shaker card featuring some of the goodies from the latest release!

I began by creating my shaker using the Chick Shaker Die Set. The yellow cardstock backer and acetate were cut using the largest die in the set. I taped the inner and outer chick dies together, then die-cut the frame from yellow cardstock. The egg was cut from white cardstock and the eyes and beak were cut from black and orange cardstock.

I blended Scattered Straw Distress Ink onto the yellow die-cuts and Kitsch Flamingo and Wilted Violet Distress Inks were blended onto the egg. The acetate layer was adhered behind the frame die-cut with liquid glue. I added foam strips to the back of the acetate, added Pastel Dreams Shaker Beads, then adhered the backer die-cut to seal in the beads and complete the shaker. The egg die-cut was adhered to the bottom of the chick and the eyes and beak were adhered, all with liquid glue.

For the background, I blended Evergreen Bough, Wilted Violet and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Inks to a panel of white cardstock through the Mini Checker Stencil. It was die-cut with a rectangle die, then adhered to an A2 panel of yellow cardstock. The largest Pinking Rectangle Die was cut from vellum. The chick was adhered with liquid glue, then the vellum panel was adhered to the background, adding liquid glue only behind the chick.

The sentiment was created with a combination of the Large Easter Shadow Die Set, Easter Banner Greetings Stamp Set, Banner Greetings 1 Dies and Banner Greetings 3 Die Set. The top layer of “Easter” was die-cut once from light yellow and twice from heavyweight white cardstock using the Large Easter Shadow Die Set. I blended Scattered Straw Distress Ink onto the bottom of the yellow die-cut. The shadow layer was cut three times from heavyweight white cardstock. The layers were all stacked and adhered together with liquid glue, then adhered across the bottom of the egg with a combination of liquid glue and foam squares.

The rest of the sentiment, from the Easter Banner Greetings Stamp Set, was stamped onto white cardstock with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink, then cut out with a die from the Banner Greetings 1 Die Set. The pinking edge banner die from the Banner Greetings 3 Die Set was cut from purple cardstock and the stamped sentiment was layered on top. I LOVE that the banner matches the pinking edge of the vellum panel!! The banner was popped up with foam tape. I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the chick’s eye to finish off the card.

That does it for me today!! Stay tuned for more amazing Easter inspiration from the design team this week and don’t forget to take advantage of the sale on items in the Easter category!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen. I assembled the bunny, butterfly, flowers and carrots with liquid glue. I used Copic markers and a thin black marker to add some blush and eyelashes to the bunny.

For the background, I used the largest die from the Eyelet Rectangles Dies to diecut a panel out of white cardstock. Next, I took two pieces of Bristol Smooth cardstock and lightly ink blended one with Tumbled Glass Distress oxide ink and the other with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. I trimmed the blue panel down to fit just inside the stitched details of the Eyelet Rectangles dies. I adhered the two panels. I used the Grass Border Die to trim a strip for the bottom of the panel.A combination of liquid glue and foam tape to adhere the bunny and flowers to the inked blue panel. The grass strip was adhered with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Easter Greetings” sentiment from the Easter Banner Greetings Stamp with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide onto a piece of white cardstock. I used the Banner Greetings 2 Dies to diecut the sentiment out. I used the same die to diecut a pink banner. I layered the two and adhered it to the front of the panel with foam tape, Finally, the eyelet panel was adhered to a piece of pink cardstock before it was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25” x 5.5”).

Hi Peeps! Debbie here for the Easter Theme Week at Pretty Pink Posh! Today, I’m playing with the adorable Easter Bucket Additions die set and many more new and previously released products! 

I was recently inspired by Tammy Stark’s flag and treat boxes. So, I decided why can’t the Candy Bucket Dies be used as a treat box as well! Not knowing that it would lead up to making all three of them!

For my first Candy Bucket Treat Box I went with the pink bunny!

I started off making the Candy Bucket with pink card stock and the Mini Checker Stencil on a grip mat and added a light pink ink to make it monochromatic. Remember to cut out two of the candy buckets, one for the front and one for the back. Next, I die-cut out the bunny die-cut from the Easter Bucket Additions. Attaching the face to the bucket and the back has ears as well. I added in some lashes and googly eyes. I filled up her bucket with the larger carrots from the die set. I found the perfect size carrot in the Easter Holders Additions die set. Then I went through my PPP stash and found the perfect front feet  in the Big Easter Cupcakes die set to hold on to the carrot.   I stamped the “ Hoppy Easter” with the Easter Banner Greetings and then with the Banner Greetings 3 die set I cut it out. With a hole punch I made a hole to be able to run a sheer ribbon through to attach to the handle and make a bow. Next, I added a glitter bow and in the center I attached one Pink Blush Pearl. Make sure to add any white highlights now while it can be flat. 

For the back bucket panel I added one white Pom-pom for the bunny bum! After the whole bucket was made I added Glossy Accents to the nose and set it to the side to dry. 

To make the treat box I made my own piece to glue in between the two bucket panels.

For the second Candy Bucket treat box I made the Chick from the Easter Bucket Additions.

This is the same process with the Candy Bucket and using the Easter Bucket Additions die set. And for the Easter Basket under the wing it is from the Easter Holder Additions die set. I thought it would be cute to have the legs going up to make it look as though it is sitting down.

Then for my final Candy Bucket Treat Box is the Lamb!

The lamb Candy Bucket is filled with flowers from the Easter Bucket Additions die set  as well as more foliage from the Stitched Spring Flowers die set. The small eggs and the bow are from the Easter Holder Additions die set. 

And here is the back of these cuties! I just happened to have a big yellow puff ball in my stash, I made the mistake of cutting it in half though. Liquid glue to the rescue!

I hope you like my adorable Easter Bucket Treat boxes. Now it’s time to grab some chocolate Easter eggs to fill them up with! Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today. I’m sharing a St. Patrick’s Day card featuring the adorable Bear Holder Dies with his arms full of goodies from the Lucky Holder Additions and Decorative Shamrock Dies. I paired these fun dies up with several new products: Lucky Animals stamp set, Lucky Words Stencil and Pinking Rectangles Dies. So let’s get started.

I used the Bear Holder Dies, Lucky Holder Additions Dies and the Decorative Shamrock Dies to diecut the bear, clovers, pot of gold and rainbow out of Neenah Solar White, green, black and gold cardstock. I colored the bear and rainbow with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS: Bear: E50/51/53/33, R000/20 Rainbow: R24, YR04, Y13, YG03, B02, V04

For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock and lightly inked the background with the Lucky Words Stencil and Mowed Law Distress Oxide inks. I used the largest die from the Pinking Rectangles Dies to diecut a piece of vellum that I used to overlay to soften the background. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Happy St. Patrick’s Day” sentiment from the new Lucky Animals stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed it out with a paper trimmer.I adhered the bear, decorations and the sentiment to the panel with a combo of liquid glue and foam tape.The panel was adhered to a piece of green cardstock before it was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25″ x 5.5”).

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Hi crafty friends, Marine here, I’m back with this cute and pretty card showcasing a beautiful floral wreath and a cheeky bunny ready to properly celebrate the arrival of Spring. Obviously, here I put flowers in my wreath to create a Spring themed card, but you definitely could replace them with Easter eggs for a cute and fun Easter themed card. The Pretty Pink Posh die collection is so diverse that the possibilities are endless!

I started off by cutting a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I covered the stitched edges with washi tape and then applied spun sugar oxide ink all over the panel. To match with the Spring theme, I used the Layered Blooming Vines stencil set to create a beautiful floral pattern on my light pink panel. For the greenery I applied rustic wilderness oxide ink, for the flowers I applied worn lipstick oxide ink and for the small dots I applied fossilized amber oxide ink. Next I splattered water on my panel and dried it with a piece of paper towel, I mixed vintage photo distress ink with water and added brown splatters to my panel with a slim brush, and I did the same with copic opaque white ink. When my panel was dry, I attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light brown woodgrain panel using 1mm foam tape, and then to a white card base using double sided sticky tape.

I cut the wreath out of green cardstock using the Floral Wreath Builder die set. In the end we can see it, and that was the point, I just needed it as a base to glue all the leaves. Speaking of which, I cut them all out of two different pattern papers: a green stripes pattern paper and a green plaid pattern paper. I added white splatters to each of them and when they were dry, I attached them to my wreath base using liquid glue. To add more interest to my wreath, I used the same die as the one I used to cut the base to cut another wreath out of vellum, I added white splatters to it, and then stuck it to my leafy wreath using liquid glue. Next I used the ring die from the Floral Wreath Builder die set to cut a ring out of the same light brown woodgrain cardstock as the card base, added vintage photo distress ink splatters to the ring, and then attached it on top of the vellum wreath using liquid glue. This ring is mostly covered by the flowers but we still can see it between the bunny’s paws.

Still using the Floral Wreath Builder die set, I cut the flowers and started with the pink ones: I cut the large petals out of a pink cross pattern paper, the small petals out of light pink cardstock and the pistils out of yellow cardstock. I added white splatters to the petals and pistils, liquid stardust splatters only to the light pink petals, and fossilized amber distress spritz splatters only to the pistils. I let them dry and assembled them using 1mm foam squares. For the daisies, I cut the petals out of white cardstock and the pistils out of yellow cardstock. I added liquid stardust splatters only to the white petals, and white splatters and fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to the pistils. Again I let them dry and assembled them with 1mm foam squares. I also cut three branches out of dark kraft cardstock and added white splatters to each of them.

Next I cut the bunny pieces using dies from the Big Easter Cupcake die set. I cut the bunny’s behind and paws out of light kraft cardstock, and cut the tail and paw pads out of white cardstock. I added vintage photo distress ink splatters to the light kraft pieces, liquid stardust splatters to the tail pieces, and then assembled the paws using liquid glue and the fluffy tail using a 1mm foam square.

I cut a Stitched Torn Rectangle panel out of vellum using the second largest die from that set, attached my leafy wreath on the upper section using 1mm foam squares, stuck the bunny pieces at the bottom of the wreath, and then all the flowers and branches using foam squares and liquid glue. Next I worked on my greeting and cut a banner out of dark brown cardstock using a Banner Greeting 2 die, on that banner I white heat embossed “Sending bunny kisses” from Easter Banner Greetings, I folded the banner on each end, and then attached it below the wreath using 2mm foam squares.

And that’s it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here and I’m sharing these mini Easter treat holder cards created with the Chick Holder and Springtime Holder Additions die sets. These little treat holders are super sweet and perfect for gifting small Easter treats!

To start, I die cut two white scalloped rectangles using the second largest rectangle in the Eyelet Rectangles set. 

Next, I created the background by ink blending a checker pattern using the Mini Checker Stencil and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide on white cardstock. I trimmed the panel to fit the Eyelet rectangles and adhered it in place. 

For the chick holders, I die cut four chick holders from white cardstock- two for the front layers and two for the back layers. I then die cut two circle openings in the center of two chicks using a 1 1/2″ circle die. The front chick layers were ink blended with Mustard Seed and Scattered Straw Distress Oxides. I also ink blended two white circle pieces with Mustard Seed and adhered them onto the bottom chick layers.

I die cut the eyes and beaks and ink blended with Black Soot and Carved Pumpkin and Dried Marigold Distress Oxides. For the cheeks, I borrowed them from the Bear Holder set and ink blended with Spun Sugar, then adhered all the facial features onto the chicks. 

Next, I placed some mini candies into the center of the bottom chick layers and sealed them with a plastic craft dome.

The chick fronts were adhered over the domes. I added rims by die cutting a 1 1/2″ circle with a 1 1/4″ circle inlay, then ink blended them with Mustard Seed and Scattered Straw.

I die cut the umbrella from Springtime Holder Additions and ink blended using the following Distress Oxides:

Umbrella Shaft– Hickory Smoke
Umbrella Panels– Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, Wilted Violet, Shaded Lilac, Carved Pumpkin, Dried Marigold
Cap– Spun Sugar

I decorated the umbrella with flowers and greenery from Stitched Spring Flowers. The flowers were ink blended with Scattered Straw, Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, while the greenery was ink blended with Mowed Lawn. I added pink enamel dots to the center of the pink flowers for added dimension.

To finish the card, I added the sentiment “Joyful Easter Wishes” from Easter Banner Greetings and Banner Greetings 3, layered on vellum. 

Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope you enjoyed my mini Easter treat holders and found some inspiration for your own Easter crafting!
