Day 3: Blog Hop + Holiday Release Now Available

Hey friends! Elaine here today from @pinkpeppermint cards. A new Pretty Pink Posh release is here and I have a super fun and festive project to share with you. Go ahead and grab a coffee and join us for a fun blog hop showcasing lots of fun inspiration using the new release plus a chance to win a prize!

To start my project I took 4 pieces of heavyweight white card cut to 6”x6”.  Taking the Layered Holly Stencil I took stencil B and ink blended on the holly leaves in a green, teal shade all over each of the card panels. I then used stencil C to blend a slightly heavier layer of the same ink through the apertures to create the spines of the holly leaves.  Lastly, took stencil A to apply a red ink through the holes to add berries to the panel.  Before removing the stencil, I applied Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Sceptre Red to give some sparkle and added dimension.  To add a little more interest to my card panels and add extra sparkle I splattered on some gold metallic paint over the top of the stencil pattern.  I set all 4 panels aside to dry and thoroughly cleaned my stencils and paint brush.

While the panels were drying, I prepared my tags and sentiments.  Firstly I die cut some tags from white card stock using the Stitched Essentials 1 die set.  I used a border die from the Stitched Borders 1 die set and cut away the bottom half of each tag.  For the tags, I added sentiments using the beautiful new Holiday Scripts stamp set in a black pigment ink.  I also prepared the sentiments for my cards while my card panels were drying.  I stamped the words ‘Merry’ and ‘Holidays’ on to white cardstock with a black pigment ink and used the Holiday Scripts coordinating dies to cut out the words.  I also white heat embossed the words ‘Christmas’ and ‘Happy’ on to black cardstock and trimmed into thin strips. 

Using a guillotine, I trimmed 2 of my holly stencilled panels down to 4.5” x 4.5”.  I wrapped a strip of vellum around each card panel and adhered each end to the back with double sided adhesive.  I put foam tape on the back of each panel and adhered each one to a white 5”x 5” side folding card base.  I applied my pre prepared sentiments on to the vellum strip with liquid adhesive. 

Taking the Stitched Essentials 1 die set again, I cut tags from the remaining holly blended panels.  I adhered the stamped tag pieces over the top of the stencilled tags with liquid adhesive.  I used a hole punch to add some holes to the tags and popped some red thread through the openings.   

As a final embellishment on both the cards and tags I added some new Metallic Gold Pearls in various sizes using some liquid adhesive.

Did you hear the news? We’re giving away this not-yet-released 4 layer stencil called Layered Plaid with qualifying orders over $125. This is while supplies last and will automatically be included with orders.
