Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today. Happy Stencil Theme Week! There are so many fun stencils over at the Pretty Pink Posh Shop.

Today I am excited to showcase the Layered Presents Stencils. This versatile stencil set can be used for so many different occasions. I had so much fun playing with it that I created two birthday cards to share with you today. So let’s get started. 

For my first card, I used all three layers of the Layered Presents Stencils to ink blend a full background on a piece of white cardstock. I started with the gift box stencil and Spun Sugar and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide inks. Next I used the stencil to add details to the wrapping paper with Kitsch Flamingo and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks. Finally, I used the last stencil to add the bows with Picked Raspberry and Wild Honey Distress Oxide inks. I set the panel aside to dry as I worked on the rest of the card. 

I diecut a bear, party hat and present using the Bear Holder Dies, Birthday Mug Additions Dies and Build a Gift Dies out of white, pink, yellow and black cardstock. The bear was colored with Copic markers. I assembled the diecuts and highlighted with a white gel pen. 

COPIC COLORS: Bear: E50/51/53/33/99/35, R00/20, R20

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Happy Birthday” from the Upright Greetings: Birthday stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock. I used the Sentiment Strip Dies to diecut the sentiment and well as a scallop strip out of yellow cardstock. I layered and adhered the two strips. 

I used the Fancy Cake Dies to diecut a stitched frame out of pink cardstock. Foam tape was used to adhere the bear, frame and sentiment strip to the panel. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”). I finished the card with a few Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

For my second card, I wanted to create a masculine birthday card. I decided to keep the design clean and simple with only two rows of presents. I love that you can easily mask off and use these stencils to ink only a portion of the background. This time I used some Post-It sticky notes to mask off part of the Layered Presents Stencils and work on one row at a time to keep the colors pure. I ink blended the layers in the same manner as I did in the first card. The gift box stencil with a very soft layer of Mowed Lawn and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. The pattern stencil with the same two colored inks but with a heavier hand when ink bleeding. And for the bow stencil, I used Pine Needles and Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide inks. 

For the sentiments, I used the Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set to stamp several of the sentiments along the top and bottom borders of the presents with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

I used the same dies as with the first card to diecut and color in the bear and present. I assembled them and adhered them onto the panel with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my cards and are inspired to try out some of these fun layered stencils. Be sure to head on over to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop to check out all of the different options available in the Stencil Section.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Hi friends! Sophie here and I am thrilled to be wrapping up our Stencil Week celebration with a fun, summer inspired card featuring the Waves Stencil. Let’s dive in!

We are finally getting some spring weather in my neck of the woods which is making me itch for summer weather so I pulled out some fun summer supplies from last year to bring some sunshine to my craft room. 

I started out with some light blue cardstock that I cut using the Eyelet Rectangles Dies – a much loved staple in my craft room. I masked off the edges and used the Waves Stencil to add a light wash of blue ink in the background – I love using tone on tone stenciling because it adds texture and interest without becoming overwhelming. 

For the images on this card I used the Seashells Stamps and Dies for the fun shell images. I did very simple coloring with my Copic markers – most of the images I actually only used one marker but did a few extra layers on top to add some light shading to areas. Here are the markers I used!

Sanddollar: E42, E41
Starfish: Y32
Coral: YG00
Purple Shell: V01
Blue Shell: G000
Pink Shell: R00

I finished off this card with a sentiment from the same Seashell set and used a kraft colored card base. I really love how Paulina always gives us coordinating dies for the sentiments – I love to pop them up on my cards with some dimension to really draw the eye in!

To finish things off I couldn’t resist adding some of my favorite Sparkling Clear Confetti. The perfect accents to any card! I hope you enjoyed and I hope you’re getting some spring weather wherever you are.

See you next time!

Hello Everyone! Welcome to the fifth day of the Stencil Theme Week! It is Zsofi here today with a cute baby card mixing some older stencils, stamps and dies. Let me guide you through the process of how I built this unisex and very colourful projects.

I started with creating my own patterned paper: the Layered Baby Wreath set has 3 stencils included which allows you to apply many different colours without masking, and helps you build depth and add details in an easy way. I used Distress Oxide inks today, but it can work with many other types of ink. I used a small blending brush for each colour family, it worked perfectly fine even if the brush head was not particularly small. 

When all 3 layers were done, I used a clear shimmer pen to add some sparkle (be careful as it will move the ink being water soluble), and added some further details with a black glaze pen. 

Then I worked on the focal panel: I used the Stitched Stars die set (retired) to cut the biggest star out of light blue cardstock. All the little baby accessories I die cut from colourful scraps using the Baby Mug Additions die set. It is a perfect way to use up all the little cardstock pieces you wanted to throw away. I love the stitching details, it adds a home-made feel to the whole design! After adhering it all on the star, I popped the focal panel in the middle of the stencilled background using 3D foam squares for extra dimension.

The sentiment I white heat embossed on a thin strip of black cardstock using the Sentiment strips: Occassions stamp set. I used foam squares to adhere it under the baby accessories to make it even more dimensional.

As a finishing touch I wanted to add some glossy accents to the background to make a few parts shiny, but I totally forgot. Even though I wanted to make a unisex card, I can easily imagine this in monochrome colours (pink, blue) too.

I hope you like this idea and got inspired to use your older stencils and dies. I cannot wait to see your beautiful creations, make sure to share them in our Facebook group!

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon.

Hello, friends! Justin Adkins, and I’m so excited to be celebrating Stencil Theme Week with Pretty Pink Posh!  If you love adding layers, color, and texture to your cards, this week is definitely for you. Today, I’m sharing a playful, party-ready card featuring an adorable (and slightly mischievous!) monster ready to celebrate!

For this card, I used the following Pretty Pink Posh products:

• Streamers Stencil (2-Pack)
• Fireworks Stencil
• Line Bursts Stencil
• Build a Monster Dies
• Pinking Rectangles Dies
• Scallops Pierced Plate Die
• Party Hats Dies
• Sentiment Strip Dies
• Sentiment Strips: Birthday Stamp Set
• Halloween Greetings Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies

This card is all about combining stencils + bright color + fun character elements for a bold party vibe!

To start, I created the background using the Streamers Stencil. By blending multiple ink colors through the stencil, I was able to build a vibrant, celebratory pattern that instantly sets the tone for the card.

Next, I brought in the Fireworks Stencil in a totally unexpected way—adding texture to my monster! By lightly blending through the stencil, it creates a fun faux furry effect that gives the character extra personality and dimension.

Behind the monster, I used the Line Bursts Stencil to create a radiating backdrop. This subtle detail helps draw your eye right to the focal point and adds even more energy to the design.

To finish things off, I layered everything with the Pinking Rectangles Dies and added a sentiment strip for that perfect party-ready message. The mix of textures, layers, and bright colors really brings this little monster celebration to life!

Stencil Theme Week is the perfect time to experiment, layer, and play—and don’t forget, all stencil products are 20% off on the Pretty Pink Posh website this week! 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this card inspires you to get inky and have some fun with your stencils.

Happy Crafting!

Welcome, Everyone! It’s Melissa here and I’m joining in on the fun with Pretty Pink Posh and Stencil Theme Week! Stencils have become my most favorite way to begin my cards and Pretty Pink Posh has the sweetest designs to choose from.  Let’s jump right in and get started!

I chose to use the adorable Layered Butterflies stencils to set the tone of my card today. This stencil set is a 3-step stencil, starting with the base layer and ending with the centers of each butterfly.

I had Mother’s Day in mind when I began my card so I used Springtime colors to breathe life and energy into this special card. After completing my stenciled background, I used the Leafy Spring Wreath stamp set and dies to create my focal point. I used my Copic Markers in different shades of green to color in each leaf.

I added flowers from the Valentine Holder Additions to bring in a few dimensional florals, and finished my card with a tiny bow and the Mom/Mother Shadow dies to add a sentiment. Switch up the sentiment on this card, and present it to a friend, coworker, someone who needs a hug, and so many other occasions!

It’s been such a treat to create for you today. Happy Stenciling!

Hello, friends!! I hope you’re all doing well!! Brenda here with a fun summer card for Stencil Theme Week!! Tune in all week for tons of inspiration featuring some of the design team’s favorite Pretty Pink Posh stencils (along with other fabulous goodies) !! Plus, save 20% on all the products in the Stencil Section during theme week!

My card today has me longing for those warm summer days spent at the lake or lounging by the pool with a cool (preferably frozen) cocktail or mocktail in hand!! It can’t get here fast enough!!

I began by stamping the images from the Summer Drinks Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Copic-friendly black ink. I colored them with Copic markers, added highlights with a white gel pen, then used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out.

For the background, I stenciled the Summer Words Stencil onto an A2 panel of white cardstock using Lumberjack Plaid, Kitsch Flamingo, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks. I trimmed the panel slightly and die-cut the bottom edge with a die from the Eyelet Borders Die Set, then adhered it to an A2 panel of light yellow cardstock. I added a bit of black ink to my glass mat, diluted it with water, then splattered it onto the panel with a paint brush.

The sentiment is also from the Summer Drinks Stamp Set. It was stamped onto black cardstock with clear embossing ink and embossed with white detail embossing powder. “Summer” was cut out with the Coordinating Die and “cheers” from a die in the Sentiment Strips Die Set. I also die-cut three more layers of the “summer” die-cut from heavyweight white cardstock and adhered them behind the black one, for dimension. The second largest die in the Eyelet Ovals Die Set was cut from vellum and the drink and sentiment die-cuts were adhered to it with a combination of liquid glue and foam squares. The vellum oval was then adhered to the background panel, adding liquid glue only behind the die-cuts.

To finish, I wrapped black and white baker’s twine around the top of the panel and tied it into a bow. A sprinkling of Sparkling Clear Confetti adds a bit of shine and finishes off the card.

Now, who’s ready for summer and a nice, refreshing drink?!? Cheers!!

Thanks for popping in for Summer Stencil Theme Week! Be sure to check out the inspiration the rest of the week and don’t forget about the sale in the Stencil Section!

Hello, friends! Christina here to kick off Stencil Theme Week with a fun graduation card featuring the Layered Graduation Stencils. These stencils are perfect for customizing to coordinate with your graduates’ school colors. I chose blue and gold for this card and incorporated gold stencil paste for one of the stencil layers. Then, to complete the graduation theme, I added a graduation cap, elements from the Graduation Mug Addition Dies, and a couple of celebratory balloons.

Graduation Cap Shaker Dies
Graduation Mug Addition Dies
Party Balloons Dies
Wonky Stitched Rectangles
Celebration Scripts Stamp Set
Celebration Scripts Coordinating Dies
Layered Graduation Stencils

For this card I started with the stenciled background panel. On a white cardstock panel, I used blue and gray inks for the caps and diplomas and gold stencil paste for the tassels and ribbons. The gold stencil paste stands up really well against the saturated blue ink. I set the panel aside while I worked on die-cutting the other elements of my card. 

First I die-cut the largest and second-largest Wonky Stitched Rectangles together from white cardstock to create a wide frame. Then, using royal blue, bright yellow, and light gray cardstock, I die-cut the cap, the balloons, the numbers, and the diploma. 

After attaching the Wonky Stitched Rectangle frame to the stenciled background panel, I arranged the die-cut elements on the panel and secured them with either glue or thin foam squares. I layered and overlapped the die-cuts for interest and dimension. Before adding the numbers, I layered them with white cardstock, slightly offset, for a highlight. This ensured that the numbers stood out against the stenciled background. 

Finally, I added the sentiment that I white heat-embossed on royal blue cardstock and die-cut with the coordinating die. A few white gel pen highlights were the finishing touch before attaching the card front to a top-fold card base.

I hope you’re inspired to get your favorite stencils out and create something beautiful. Be sure to check back all week for even more stencil inspiration!

Hello, friends! It’s Justin Adkins and today I’m sharing a card that’s bringing all the warm, sunny vibes. This time of year always gets me thinking about Spring Break and a little escape to somewhere tropical—so I decided to get inky and create a bright underwater scene!

Stitched Coral Dies
Snowy Hills Border Dies
Seashells Stamp Set & Coordinating Die Set
Crackle Background Stencil

To build that watery backdrop, I started with the Crackle Background Stencil and a mix of Distress Inks and Distress Oxide Inks. First, I ink blended a smooth background, then layered the stencil over top and blended again. For added depth, I rotated the stencil and repeated the process—this creates a really organic, underwater texture that feels like light moving through water.

The seashells were colored with Olo Markers in a bright, almost magical color palette. For a softer look, I stamped the images using an alcohol marker-friendly brown ink instead of black. Rather than using the coordinating dies, I fussy cut each shell right along the stamped line to remove the white border. A quick swipe of a brown Olo marker around the edges finishes them off and eliminates any visible white edges.

For the coral, I die cut the pieces using the Stitched Coral Dies and ink blended them with Distress Oxide Inks in Abandoned Coral, Ripe Persimmon, Lucky Clover, and Pine Needles. These bold colors really bring the scene to life.

To create the sandy ocean floor, I used the Snowy Hills Border Dies with a light brown cardstock. I added shading with Brushed Corduroy and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks, then finished it off with splatters of Vintage Photo and Black Soot for extra texture and realism.

Finally, I added a die cut sentiment and a few iridescent embellishments to give the card a bit of sparkle and polish!

This card was such a fun way to bring a little sunshine and color into my craft space! Thank you so much for stopping by today. I’d love to see your vacation-inspired creations—especially if you’re using Pretty Pink Posh products—so be sure to share them!

Happy Crafting!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Catherine, and you know what they say-April showers bring May flowers! This little cutie is all ready for rain! I created a fun spring card by combining the Bear Holder Die with the Stitched Spring Flowers Dies and Raindrops Stencil. 

I started by creating a soft rainy background with light ink blending around an A2 white panel, then added raindrops using blue ink and the Raindrops Stencil. For the ground, I die cut a grass border using the grass element from Nature Essentials Die (I extended the height using partial die cutting). I ink blended the border with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxides and added a few green watercolor splatters for texture. 

I die cut the adorable bear from the Bear Holder die set, umbrella from Springtime Holder Accessories, and flowers and greenery from Stitched Spring Flowers die from white cardstock and ink blended all the pieces with the following Distress Oxide:

Bear Body– Tea Dye, Antique Linen
Cheeks and Tummy– Kitsch Flamingo, Spun Sugar
Nose, Eyes– Black Soot
Ears– Walnut Stain
Flowers– Mustard Seed, Squeezed Lemonade, Wilted Violet, Shaded Lilac, Kitsch Flamingo, Spun Sugar
Leaves and Stems– Shabby Shutters, Twisted Citron
Umbrella- Kitsch Flamingo, Spun Sugar, Mustard Seed, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron
Handle– Hickory Smoke

The bear got a pair of bright rainbows (because priorities) – I die cut an extra bear, trimmed the legs, and ink blended the boots with Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade. 

I adhered everything onto the front panel and added “Bright Spring Wishes” from Easter Banner Greetings stamp set. I added a few raindrop gems for a realistic rainy-day touch.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Hope this card brings you a little spring inspiration!
