Sneak Peek: Decorative Ornaments

Isn’t this a fun week with all the new Pretty Pink Posh products being revealed? I always love seeing what Paulina has come up with and the best part is getting to work with these products ahead of time to do a post announcing them! Today I get to show you two of the new products: the Decorative Ornaments stamp set and coordinating die set and the Pine Sprigs dies. They are both new favorites of mine as they work so well together. I have two cards to share with you using them today.

The Decorative Ornaments stamps are very detailed and thus really fun to color. I used colored pencils on them since the areas are fairly small. I went with a non-traditional color scheme for this card, but it is probably my favorite holiday color scheme.

For the background of this card, I used Tonic Glimmer Paste over a stencil to create the little dots. I felt they were just sparkly enough without being distracting for a background for the ornaments. I stamped the Decorative Ornament stamps on white cardstock with a light color ink and colored them in with colored pencils so they don’t have outlines.

I die-cut the Pine Sprigs dies out of silver cardstock, blue painted watercolor paper, and bright pink glitter paper. I layered several of them in each color to the top of the card and added a silver bow. I attached the ornaments below the bow and used an ornament topper on the one that showed from the Stitched Ornaments dies.  I die-cut the new Happy Holidays Script die from silver cardstock and glued that over the ornaments. I finished the card with some silver, light blue, and white jewels from the new Starry Sky Jewel Mix.

I stamped the Decorative Ornaments on white cardstock with a natural color ink again and colored them with colored pencils. This time I went more traditional with a gold background and red and green details. My gold colored pencil is metallic, so if you look at the card on an angle, it has a really gold sheen to it. My daughter asked me why I colored them brown, so I had to turn the card to show her they were gold!

I used a white gel pen for details on the flowers and leaves and then topped each ornament with a topper from the Stitched Ornaments dies die-cut from gold cardstock. I lightly inked the center of a white card base with red ink and attached the ornaments on top of it.

I die-cut the Pine Sprigs dies from green and gold cardstock and layered them along the top of the card so the ornaments look like they are hanging from a tree.  I embossed the sentiment from the stamp set on the bottom of the card and finished it with some jewels from the new Holidays Jewels Mix.

Thanks for visiting today and don’t forget to come each day this week to see other new products being debuted! I hope you like them all as much as I do! Thanks Paulina for another great release!

  1. This looks GREAT. I have some glittery card stock, but haven’t known what to do with it. I am going to make some cards like these. I like to make quite a few different designs for my Christmas cards so I don’t get bored.

  2. Oh my goodness Suzy what gorgeous cards, the colours you used on the ornaments are amazing. I absolutely love these ornament stamps and the pine sprigs are awesome as well. Very well done!

  3. So very beautiful. They remind me of hand painted ornaments. Nicely done.

  4. Gorgeous cards! I love how you colored the ornaments, especially the color palette on the first card. Such pretty designs on the ornaments too.

  5. The first card, with the silver leaves and silver sentiment, remind me of the aluminum-silver Christmas tree that we had when I was a kid. Am I the only one who had one?? Anyway, great cards! Awesome!
