Hi friends! Sophie here and today I am thrilled to share a fun shaker card featuring new items from the August Halloween release. Pretty Pink Posh always does the BEST Halloween releases and this year is no exception. Let’s dive in!
First I created the shaker panel for the background. I used one of the new Nested Arch diesto cut an arch silhouette out of a piece of white cardstock. I used the new Potion Pop shaker beads for the fill and backed the shaker with a piece of purple cardstock.
For the sweetOwl Holder I used some inks to distress the edges so that he looked more dynamic. I adorned him with a hat that is actually from the older set Halloween Holder Additions dies. I love that PPP always expands on their sets to make them so versatile. It’s great to mix and match old sets with new sets! The broom that the cutie little owl is holding is also from that additions die set.
The branch is actually a tree from the new Spooky Forest die setthat I turned on it’s side. And finally, the sentiment is from the new Boo Greetings sentiment set which I know is going to be one of my most used sets this Halloween!
Hope this was inspiring to you! Do you like to create Halloween cards? I’d love to know below! See you soon for more inspiration! :)
Hello everyone, it’s June! Today I’m back with a very special project where I completely changed the way I think about the dies I own. I used the Sweet Note diesand turned them into little vinyl sleeves, but still keeping the note card element. Let’s get started!
The idea goes like this: the sleeve opens and there’s a removable vinyl inside, revealing a sentiment stating there’s a note somewhere to be found, and when the recipient turns around their vinyl, they’ll see a handwritten note on the back. Like I said, I changed the purpose of my dies completely to make this design, and I challenge you to look at your die collection the same way. You might just come across a fantastic idea for a next project!!
I started by cutting the Sweet Note die from orange and hot pink cardstock. I wanted it to be a matching set that switches around the colors. I wanted a square panel to go in the front of the note, and decided on using the Notched Squares that were the perfect size, but also revealed the base color of my sleeves in the corners, making for a nice detail. I used the Line Bursts stencil to make both an orange and a pink background. A little alteration I made to the Sweet Note die is that I glued the square panel to the front, so I have to tuck away the flap on the inside instead. Just make sure to not glue down the notch that holds the flap! Using the square on the front meant that I had it sticking out a bit, making it visible on the inside, so I covered it using one of the Doily Borders as a decorative trim.
To decorate the front, I used the flower part of the Daffodil Shaker twice, once in a bright and once in a pastel shade, and added the centers. Of course I had to use the Just a Note stamp setthroughout my project, both for the music AND the note theme. It’s a perfect match!
Now for the vinyl, the negative space from the Holiday Wreath Builder makes a perfectly sized vinyl. I used the wheels from the Big Dump Truck for the inside ring, but also cut some of the smaller daffodils from the Spring Floral die set and used them in the same way as the ones on the front. I used a small sized hole punch as I was layering these pieces, but didn’t punch through the base of the vinyl so I could have a solid note card. On the back, I glued down one of the Eyelet Circles so I could have a blank space to write on.
Now for the fun part: the interactive element! I cut an extra square panel to go on the inside of the sleeve and used the gift card notches from the Interactive Cakedie set to hold the vinyl in place. But how did I do that? Well, I just positioned 2 of the notches on the bottom of the square and partially die cut it. The spacing works perfectly to hold the vinyl in place! I added the ‘just a little note’ sentiment from Just a Note in the middle, keeping it hidden until the vinyl gets taken out.
And that’s the full project! My brain doesn’t always allow it, but when I feel creative enough I love thinking out of the box like this. Not only does it stretch your current die collection, but it also might justify the purchase of a die set you really really want, knowing you can get more use out of it if you use the parts in another way than intended. And as crafters, we do love a good way to justify purchases, right?
I hope this post inspired you in some way, and I hope to see you again soon. Bye!
Hi crafty people! It’s Rachel here today with a spooky cute mug. I always love a good mug card. Today I mixed and matched some products from the August 2026 release with older products. Mixing and matching my Pretty Pink Posh products is always so fun!
I started with a black card panel of 5 ½ x 4 ¼ inches. Then I grabbed the Scattered Bats stencil and used my white pigment ink to create a spooky background panel. I also splattered some white acrylic paint over it. I set this aside to dry while working on die-cutting my pieces.
I used the new Halloween Mugs die setand decided on a bright green Frankenstein mug. While also using purple and grey. I added the color orange for some of my other die cuts. Because I felt it would work really well with the bright green and purple. From older sets I used Halloween Holder Additions, Candy Treats, and the Halloween Cake Pops die set.
After I added shading with my inks to all my die cuts, it was time to think about my sentiment. I used the new Halloween Banner Greetings stamp set and heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock. Then I grabbed theBanner Greetings 4 dieto cut it out.
I used liquid glue and some foam tape to assemble all of my die cuts. I love having the mug and cake pops a bit higher on the card so they get the attention they deserve.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post. I hope you like this spooky cute mug card and are inspired to make your own. Mix and match your products to create super fun scenes.

Hi friends, Carly here. I love dies and solid stamps but outline stamps have such a special place in my heart! They are so fun to create with, so versatile and they are absolutely what caused me to fall in love with cardmaking! Today I want to share four of my favorite, fail proof card designs for outline stamps!
The first one is clean and simple! Stamp an image and sentiment(s) on a white card, leaving lots of white space. I like to place a the image in a few different positions on the card…front & center, bottom right corner and in a vertical strip on either side like the Jack ‘O Lantern treat bucket card.
The second design is to create a fun background by stamping the images all over a card front and then adding a die cut sentiment in the middle like the purple stamped background & orange “trick or treat” card.
The third design is what I like to call a “scene strip”! I like to mask a section of the card and ink blend (or a strip of colored cardstock works too). Then I stamp images that create a scene or background. After I add a stamped, die cut and colored image and a sentiment stamp.
And the last one that makes me tremendously happy is using stamped, colored and die cut images as shaker bits! They are so fun mixed with super chunky glitter, sequins or clay confetti!
Hi Everyone! It’s Melissa here with you today. I’ve pulled out some of the sweetest stencils, stamps, and dies from Pretty Pink Posh and can’t wait to share my project with you.
Once I saw the darling Layered Teacup Stencils, I knew I had to create something immediately! They are so endearing and create a colorful background fit for a teapot and kettle. I cut my white cardstock base using the Stitched Torn Rectangles dieand then added my stenciling over the top.
I then used the Shadow Box diesand selected the inner scalloped window and rectangle to create the center focal point. I used plenty of foam adhesive to pop this up and off my card base.
Lastly, I paper-pieced my teapot and added color with Copic Markers to bring each image to life. These irresistible images are from the Tea Time stamp setandcoordinating dies. The sentiment seemed perfect to share with a cherished friend.
Pull out your Pretty Pink Posh supplies and treat yourself to an afternoon of crating! Thanks for visiting.
Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be sharing a Halloween shaker card with you all. My card today uses the funStitched Window 1 dies. This set of dies includes two different windows and a flower box that can be used for a variety of occasions!
I started my card by creating my card panel with the Brick Background stencil. I then used the Stitched Windows 1 dies to die cut my opening in the panel. I attached a piece of vellum behind the opening and then inlaid a green window die cut into the opening to create my window. Using the Stitched Window dies again, I die cut the flower box and added it to the bottom of my window. Next, I used theSpooky Forest diesto die cut a black tree. I attached the tree behind the window with a little liquid glue. I love how the vellum adds to the “spookiness” of the window. I added some foam adhesive to the back of my panel and filled the shaker with the Boo Crew clay confetti.
Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. I can’t wait to use the Stitched Windows die set for other occasions! I think these dies will make such a fun card for Christmas!
To begin, I created the nighttime sky by ink blending Wilted Violet and Peacock FeathersDistress Oxide Inks onto an A2 panel of white cardstock. For the wall behind the window, I used the Mummy Wrap Stencil with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink to add subtle texture, then splattered black watercolor over the panel for a spooky, distressed look. Once everything was dry, I die cut the window opening using one of the dies from theStitched Windows set.
Next, I die cut the window frame from black cardstock and sprayed it with Sheer ShimmerSparkle Spray for a subtle shimmer before setting it aside to dry.
To create the light-up effect, I temporarily placed the window frame over the ink-blended background and lightly marked where I wanted each light to shine using a pencil. With a paper piercer, I poked small holes through those marked areas. I then positioned the completed panel over a second A2 panel of white cardstock and transferred the light placement marks onto the back panel.
Using Pear Blossom Press E-Z Lights, I adhered the battery pack to the lower right corner of the back panel and secured each light over the marked openings with tape, making sure they lined up perfectly behind the window scene.
To assemble the card, I added foam tape around all four sides of the light panel to create enough space for the lights and battery pack. I adhered the black window frame to the stenciled panel, added a layer of A2 vellum behind the window to softly diffuse the lights, and then attached the completed window panel to the light-up base.
For the scene, I stamped and die cut the adorable ghosts from the Mini Ghosts stamp set and colored them with Copic markers (colors listed below). I tucked the ghosts behind the window openings, then added a few spider webs and a tiny spider from the Halloween Caramel Appledie set for extra spooky detail.
To finish the card, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Boo Greetingsstamp setin white on black cardstock and embellished the background with a few stars from the Halloween Silhouettes set. The glowing lights behind the vellum create the perfect eerie Halloween atmosphere and really bring the little ghost scene to life!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this project inspires you to create your own light-up Halloween cards with the new Pretty Pink Posh release. Happy crafting!
I started off by die-cutting out the images from the Halloween Wreath Builder Setfrom white card stock, I think the branches alone is wickedly fun! Using a fun color combination of lime green and teal blue for the leaves, with pops of orange and yellow I used my dye inks to blend on the color. This way I could use some darker shades of ink for adding dimension to the leaves and pumpkins.
With the Stitched Arches DiesI die-cut out a panel from white card stock to adhere my Halloween Wreath on to. When I was building the wreath I added the lime green leaves to the tips of the branches and tucked in the teal leaves to both sides of the branch. Attaching the spider and pumpkins I made sure to space them out in thirds on the wreath.
For my background panel I went to my pattern paper stash and found paper with the colors I was using. Trimming it down to fit onto a standard A2 card base.
With the newBoo Greetings Stamp and Coordinating Dies, I stamped out the “Halloween Greetings” and popped in the middle of my wreath. Then final step was adding highlights with a white gel pen and a Sunshine Pearlto the center of the bow.
Hello Barbara here! I’m happy to share a fun project featuring the new Spooky Forest dies and Clouds stencil. I began by stenciling a spooky night sky with the cloud stencil in green distress ink.
I cut one of the trees from the Spooky Forest die set out of black cardstock. I also cut the ground for the tree to sit on from black cardstock. I used some of the previously released Pretty Pink Posh halloween images (Spooky Mug Additions, Halloween House) in my stash to adorn my spooky tree scene with foam squares for dimension.
I stamped the Spooktacular sentiment, from theHalloween Critters set, in clear ink on purple cardstock and heat set that with white embossing powder and used the coordinating die to cut it out and add it under the tree. I cut out the stitched frame from the Fancy Cake die set out of white cardstock to finish this project up.
I hope you were inspired by this card. Thanks for stopping by!
Ghostly Greetings! It’s Christina and today I’m sharing a Halloween card showcasing some of the new products from the latest release. I created a spooky-cute scene using the new Stitched Windows 1 dies and two new stencils, CloudsandSpooky Trees. I completed the scene by adding the still-so-adorableGhost Holderand his accessories, plus a couple of creepy crawlies. Take a peek at the supplies I used, and then we’ll get started!
My first step was to create the scene outside the window. I started with a gray A2 cardstock panel and stenciled the clouds with black ink, layering them down the length of the panel. Then I used the Spooky Trees stenciland more black ink to add a couple of creepy tree limbs reaching into the scene.
Next, I die-cut and assembled the other elements for the window scene. I die-cut the window from black cardstock and used it as a template to trim down the cloudy scene I had just stenciled. Before securing these two elements together with glue, I popped in theGhost Holder and trimmed him down to fit inside the window too. I finished the Ghost Holder by adding his sweet face and gave him the “Boo” to hold. Then, to finish the window scene, I added the window ledge and the pumpkin.
Now I needed a background panel to attach the window to. I decided to create a torn and aged wallpaper by stenciling greenCandy Cane Stripes onto a lighter green cardstock and then tearing the edges. To help guide the tearing, I used a scoring tool to lightly score where I wanted the panel to tear. Then, to finish the panel, I inked the edges with a darker green ink and spattered it with white splatter medium for extra distressing. Finally, I layered this onto a dark green A2 cardstock panel before attaching the completed background to a top-fold card base.
The last steps were to arrange and secure the window scene to the background and add a sentiment. I centered the window scene on the background and added a couple of creepy crawly spiders crawling on the wall. And lastly, I added a banner with a white heat-embossed sentiment.
Thank you so much for reading about my Halloween window scene card showcasing new products from the latest Halloween release. See you again soon!
