Sweet Santa Mug

Hello, friends! This is Caly with you today and I’m sharing a festive card using a few new products from the latest Pretty Pink Posh release.  Today’s card features a Santa mug from the Christmas Mugs Dies. I paired it with the previously released Winter Mugs Dies to add extra fun details (candy cane, holly and berries, and snowflake).

Christmas Mugs Dies
Inside Sentiments: Christmas Stamp Set
Inside Sentiments: Christmas Coordinating Dies
Layered Sweet Candies Stencils
Winter Mug Dies

For the background, I used the Layered Sweet Candies Stencils with white, red, and pink ink.  To soften areas where the mug and sentiment would be, I used a layer of vellum.

To finish my card, I stamped a sentiment from the Inside Sentiments: Christmas Stamp Set with red ink and die-cut it with the coordinating die set.

I hope you like card! Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Be sure to head over to Instagram to join the Instagram Hop and leave a comment along each stop for your chance to win a $30 gift card to shop this release!

Reindeer Treat Box

Hi everyone! It’s Wanda here and I’m happy to be a guest on the PPP Blog today! I’m sharing a Christmas Treat Box project I made with the brand new release – the Reindeer Holder Dies and the new Inside Sentiments: Christmas Stamp Set. I also used lots of PPP holiday favorites dies! I really love making treat boxes and the Birthday Treat Box is the perfect size to use with the Animal Holder dies. This new reindeer is the absolute cutest, especially in his Santa Hat!

Reindeer Holder Dies
Inside Sentiments Christmas Stamp Set
Birthday Treat Box Dies

Christmas Holder Additions Dies
Pinking Circles Dies
Party Flags Dies
Stitched Snowflakes Dies
Cherry Red Pearls

I started this project by making the treat box first. I die cut the Birthday Treat Box die from green cardstock. I die cut a second one using gingham paper and used that to put in just the back panel of the box. These boxes come together so quickly and easily – great for mass production! I splattered on some white paint snow and set that aside to dry. Next I made that cute flag using the Party Flag dies…I embellished the flag with snowflakes and the new Sentiment set from this release. 

I die cut all the pieces for the sweet Reindeer from the Reindeer Holder Dies. I gave him a Santa hat and he’s holding a festive wreath. I used kraft cardstock and cream cardstock for his body and dark brown cardstock for his antlers. I gently shaded the pieces with inks. I added little pink cheeks and then used a white gel pen on the pieces. To make it more jolly I mixed in some elements using glitter paper! Yeah for glitter!

I die cut a small Pinking Circle and affixed it to the front of the treat box with foam tape. I then attached the reindeer with foam tape too. I put his smile at a slight angle so he looks impish – like Rudolph!! I used a cello bag for a few candy treats and tied the top with twine. I put the party flag onto a drinking straw and tucked it into the treat box. Finished! 

Let’s get started on our Christmas projects with this gorgeous new holiday release from Pretty Pink Posh! Thanks for the chance to share with you today.

Happy Crafting! XO Wanda

Joyful Reindeer

Hello! Christina here, and I’m delighted to share a joyful holiday card with you today featuring two new shaker die sets from the latest collection. I paired the Reindeer Face Shaker with the Joy Word Shaker but used them as regular dies. That’s the best part about these shaker dies: you can use them as regular dies, so you don’t have to fuss with constructing a shaker element if you don’t want to! I chose a more masculine color palette for this card and incorporated some previously released favorites to round out my design.

Reindeer Face Shaker Dies
Joy Word Shaker Dies
Gingerbread House Dies
—small circle dies I used as berries
Pine Sprigs Dies
Gingham Stencil
Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stamp Set
Merry & Minty Clay Confetti
Onyx Pearls

I started by creating the stenciled background panel first. I chose green cardstock trimmed to 4.25 x 5.5 inches and stenciled the gingham pattern using Black Soot Distress Ink for a classic Christmas buffalo check pattern. Then I splattered the panel with white splatter medium and set it aside while I worked on the other elements. 

For the Reindeer Face, I started with colored cardstock, light-brown and ivory, and added shading to the pieces using a small or medium blending brush and darker coordinating ink colors. Then I assembled his face, adding a red nose and Onyx Pearls for the eyes. For the Joy Word Shaker element, I chose a gray and black striped pattern paper for the main body of the text and a solid gray to outline it. Next, I arranged the reindeer and “Joy” on my background panel securing the reindeer with liquid adhesive and “Joy” with foam squares.

My next steps were to add a sentiment and a little embellishment to the card. I heat-embossed a sentiment with white embossing powder on green cardstock and die-cut it with a sentiment strip die before attaching it across the bottom of the word “Joy.” Then I die-cut numerous Pine Sprigs, because you can never have too many pine sprigs, and tucked them in around the reindeer and the word “Joy.” I added red berries to the greenery and finished with a scattering of white clay snowflakes. My final step was to attach the finished card front to a top-fold card base.

Thank you so much for checking out my joyful holiday card I created using some of the festive new products from the latest release! See you again soon!

Stamped Shaker Windows

Do you ever use the coordinating dies from your stamp sets to create shaker windows? I love when a stamp & coordinating die set has a shape that is perfect for a shaker window like this sweet tree from the Cozy Christmas set!

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

I like to start by cutting the window first and then stamping the coordinating image on card front behind the window or on the acetate in the window.

For this card I stamped the tree on the card front, did a little basic coloring and then filled the shaker with a little chunky glitter and the adorable Merry & Minty Mix! And I couldn’t resist adding the kitty & gifts on top!

Thanks for stopping by!

Whimsical Christmas Gingerbread

Hi crafty friends, Debbie here with the new Christmas Gingerbread stamp set from the new Christmas release here at Pretty Pink Posh! You can’t help but smile with this new delightful stamp set, it’s so sweet!

Christmas Gingerbread Stamp Set
Christmas Gingerbread Coordinating Dies
Joy Word Shaker Die
Layered Sweet Candies Stencil
Mistletoe Kisses Shaker Beads
Stitched Arches Dies

I started off by stamping out the all of the images from the set onto OLO Premium card stock with Memento Tuxdeo Black ink. Once my coloring was done I die-cut them out with their Coordinating Dies.

Coloring them in with my Copics R81, R83, R85, R89, E30-37, G00, G02, G12, G24. 

Next, for the background I using the Layered Sweet Candies Stencil and a standard A2 panel of mint card stock in a vertical post on my grip mat. With the layered A,  I pounced on Distress Oxide Lost Shadow and then again with white pigment ink. Then with the Layer B in place I pounced on Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry ink. 

With the largest Stitched Arches Dies, centered on the panel I ran it through my Platinum 6 machine. Attaching the outer piece to my card base with liquid glue and popping up the arch with foam. 

I knew right away that I wanted to combine my stamp images with the new Joy Word Shaker Dies. Using the two dies, I die-cut out 6 layers of pink card stock to adhere together making the wells for the Mistletoe Kisses Shaker Beads. With the solid die, I die-cut acetate for a window to sandwich in between the two top layers. And again from white card stock to seal the back with the shaker beads in. 

What I didn’t know at first when I started to assemble my card was that I was going to tuck the one Gingerbread man behind the “JOY” word. So so Cute! You know they are in full swing decorating up the Gingerbread house for the holidays!

My final step was to add Star Dust Stickles to the candy images and some white highlights.  I love this sweet Christmas card!

Tell me in the comments what is your favorite Holiday Tradition.

Reindeer Stocking Card

Hi crafty people! It’s Rachel here today with an adorable reindeer and stocking shaker card. I mixed and matched new and old products together to make this card. It is definitely one of my favorite ways to create. 

I started by laying out the dies on a standard card base of 5 ½ x 4 ¼ inches. When I laid down the stocking from the new Stocking Gift Holder Die, I soon realized I needed a bigger card base for my idea. My idea was a pastel-colored Christmas card. So I cut a minty-colored cardstock into 5 x6 1/2 inches.

Then started playing with the dies on top of that again. And then it hit me, how cute would the new Reindeer Face Shaker be on top of the stocking?!

The card did still feel a bit too empty to me. So I pulled in an old-time favorite of mine, the Winter Foliage Die. I pulled in this die so often during this release. Greenery is such a great way to fill up your card.  

Because my card was full with all the dies, I decided to go for a subtle background. I grabbed the Winter Words Stencil and a white pigment ink and started inking it onto the minty-colored background. This was exactly the subtle interest it needed. 

Then it was die-cutting time. I kept within the pastel colors and decided to add some pink and green for my greenery. Grabbed my inks and used a darker color of ink on my die cuts using a small blending brush. I love to add some shading to my die cuts. 

Time to assemble my stocking and reindeer face. For my Reindeer Face Shaker die I decided to make it a shaker and filled it up with the new Mistletoe Kisses Shaker Beads. This mix worked so well with my pastel colors. 

After using liquid glue and foam to attach everything to my card base. I thought it would be fun to add the Stocking Gift Card Holder to the inside of my card. I die-cut another stocking, shaded it with pink pink, and cut out a piece of the “rounded stitched rectangles” to act as a gift card. And used the free gift with purchase Christmas Cookies set to give it some details. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post. I hope you like this Christmas stocking shaker card and get inspired to make your own. Mix and match your products to decorate them.

Happy crafting.

[Video Hop + Giveaways!] One Reindeer Die Set, Two Ways

Hi friends, Charlene here! Today I’m sharing two Christmas cards made with the same Reindeer Face Shaker Dies, but with two completely different looks. One is an interactive shaker and the other is a traditional layered design. By changing the construction, color placement, and layout, you can really stretch one die set and create something completely new!

This project is part of the October Video Hop! Be sure to hop along on YouTube for lots more inspiration using the new release.

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

Reindeer Face Shaker Dies
Layered Holiday Sprinkle Mix Stencils
Inside Sentiments: Christmas Stamps

Inside Sentiments: Christmas Coordinating Dies
Chocolate Shaker Beads

For my first card, I used the Reindeer Face Shaker Dies as intended and created a fun interactive shaker. I chose three shades of brown along with ivory, pink, and black cardstock to keep the reindeer feeling light and playful.

To create the shaker, I die cut the face detail from brown cardstock and used the inset die to remove the center. I also cut the detail piece from ivory cardstock to create a narrow outline around the shaker window. After adding acetate behind the opening, I used thin foam strips to create the shaker well and filled it with clear confetti and Chocolate Shaker Beads.

Once the shaker was assembled, I added the antlers, ears, nose, eyes, and mouth to bring the reindeer to life.

For the background, I wanted something subtle that would support the shaker without competing with the tiny moving details. I started with ivory cardstock and used the tree and star layer from the Layered Holiday Sprinkle Mix Stencils with a soft yellow-beige ink. The tone-on-tone effect adds just enough interest while keeping the reindeer as the focal point.

I stamped a sentiment from the Inside Sentiments: Christmas Stamp Set between the antlers and kept the entire layout very centered and symmetrical. Since the shaker already brings plenty of movement and detail, the simple layout helps everything feel balanced.

For my second card, I started with the exact same Reindeer Face Shaker Dies but skipped the shaker completely. Instead, I used ink blending and different color placement to give this reindeer an entirely different personality.

I blended brown ink around the edges of the muzzle to give it more dimension, then added darker pink ink to the ears and a small amount of pink to the cheeks. I also added a second layer of pink cardstock behind the ear pieces and popped the nose up with a foam square.

For another small detail, I tied gold thread around the base of each antler. A tiny dot of glue keeps the bows in place, and low-tack tape is helpful for holding the tails exactly where you want them while the glue dries.

I created another tone-on-tone background using light peach cardstock with pink trees and stars from the Layered Holiday Sprinkle Mix Stencils. This time, instead of centering the reindeer, I placed it at an angle in the lower right corner, so it looks like it is peeking into the card.

The sentiment in the upper left balances the visual weight of the reindeer, and a few white gel pen highlights add the finishing touch.

I love how these two cards started with the exact same dies but ended up looking so different! Changing the construction, colors, and layout is such an easy way to get more mileage from the supplies you already have.

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here and I’m sharing this adorable cookie wreath card crated with the new Sweet Christmas Cookies stamp set and coordinating dies, and I paired them with the free gift with purchase: Christmas Cookies stamp set and coordinating dies.

To make this holiday season extra festive, we’re offering a free gift with purchases over $125 (after any discounts/ coupon, before tax and shipping) from October 11-26, 2026 or while supplies last. These darling images can be used alone, or you can combine them with the Sweet Christmas Cookies set that is part of this release.

To begin, I created the background by die cutting A2 pink cardstock with the Checkered Pierced Plate. I then added white acrylic paint splatters for a bit of texture. 

For the wreath, I die cut a circle from green cardstock using the Floral Wreath Builder. You can also use the circle dies from the Holiday Wreath Builder or the Halloween Wreath Builder for the base. I then die cut several pine sprigs from the Pine Sprigs set and ink blended them with Rustic Wilderness, Mowed Lawn, and Bundled Sage Distress Oxides. To add a snowy effect, I applied Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff to the sprigs and heat set it to create a soft, dimensional texture.

Once everything was dry, I arranged the pine sprigs around the circle to form the wreath and adhered them in place.

I stamped and die cut the cookies with the coordinating dies and colored them with Copic Markers listed below. I arranged the cookies around the wreath and then adhered the finished wreath to the front panel. 

Copic Markers: 

  • Red- R27, R24, R22, R21

Merry Christmas! My first card features the super cute Christmas Gingerbread Stamp & Dies, Merry Greetings Stamp & Dies and Layered Sweet Candies Stencil. 

I stamped the images from the Christmas Gingerbread stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Christmas Gingerbread Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

For the layout, I used the Layered Sweet Candies Stencil, Hero Arts Unicorn White Pigment ink Saltwater Taffy and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide to add a subtle design to a piece of pink cardstock (4” x 5.25”). Next I used the Rounded Stitched Rectangles Dies to diecut a panel out of white cardstock. I used Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink to lightly ink blended a little color to the white panel.  I added a piece of craft foam to the back of the white panel before adhering it to the stenciled pink panel. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Merry” and  “Christmas” from the Merry Greetings stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with White Detailed Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating Merry Greetings Dies and the Sentiment Strips Dies to diecut them out. 

I adhered the colored images and sentiment to the card front with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension. Finally, I adhered the panel to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”).

Have a Joyful Christmas! My second card features the adorable Sweet Christmas Cookies Stamp & Dies, Inside Sentiments: Christmas Stamp & Dies and Layered Holiday Sprinkle Mix Stencil.

I stamped the images from the Sweet Christmas Cookies stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Sweet Christmas Cookies Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

White: C00/1

For the layout, I used the Layered Holiday Sprinkle Mix Stencil, Spun Sugar and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide to lightly ink blend a subtle design to a piece of white cardstock (4” x 5.25”). I used a piece of vellum to soften the design on what reminded me of a festive Christmas tablecloth. Next I trimmed a piece of red cardstock and added some stitched details with a white gel pen to represent my table runner. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Have a Joyful Christmas” from the Inside Sentiments: Christmas stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with White Detailed Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating Inside Sentiments: Christmas Dies to diecut it out. 

I adhered the colored images and sentiment to the card front with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension. Finally, I adhered the panel to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”).

Have a Cozy Christmas! My third card features the super fun Cozy Christmas Stamp & Coordinating Dies, Stitched Windows 2 Dies and Cobblestone Stencil.

I stamped the images from the Cozy Christmas stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Cozy Christmas Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

I used the Cobblestone Stencil and some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink to ink blend the stone texture to a piece light gray cardstock (5.5” x 4.25”) to represent the exterior wall of my house. 

Next, I used one of the two Stitched Windows 2 Dies to diecut a window into the middle of my gray panel as well as the front panel of a top-folding white A2 cardbase (5.5” x 4.25”). I used the same die to diecut an additional white window frame as well as a long white window sill. I love that this new set has two different sizes of window sill dies to allow for a vertical or horizontal window placement. I adhered a piece of clear acetate to the back of my gray panel. I adhered the gray window frame to the additional white window frame before adhering it to the window opening of the gray panel (on top of the acetate. I adhered this gray panel to the front of the white cardbase making sure to align the window openings. Then, I adhered the white window frame back into the window opening of the cardbase (so as to hide the adhesive from the gray panel).

For the inside of the cardbase, I masked off the top and bottom and used the Windowpane Plaid Stencil and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide to lightly ink blend a subtle stripe wallpaper design. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Have a cozy Christmas” from the Cozy Christmas stamp set onto a piece of tan cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered this piece of tan cardstock onto the bottom of the inside scene to represent my carpet.

I adhered the colored images with liquid glue to keep a low profile for the inside of the cardbase. I adhered the window sill to the card front with foam tape for a bit of dimension.

This was just a sneak peek of the some of the fun products in this October Release. Check out some of the inspiration from the design team using the new stamp sets…
