Month: January 2023

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here and I have the lucky task of giving you a peek at some of the new dies releasing this month. They are amazing! I am completely smitten, and I think you will be, too!  

New release will be available January 5th. 

One of the die sets I am most excited about is the Valentine Mug Additions. The dies are designed to pair perfectly with the previously released Winter Mug Dies, but I wanted to start by showing you that they can be used on their own, too!  

What better way to showcase these new sweets than creating a chocolate box? I created my box using a a brown card base and the largest Scallop Frame die. Then, I pieced together lots of chocolates and chocolate covered strawberries using the Valentine Mug Additions. There are lots of mix and match options in this set and super cute stitching details throughout. 

I used a white gel pen to highlight the seeds on the strawberries.  

Front and center on my card is one of two new script dies called the Large Love Shadow die. These dies are a fabulous large size and come with the script + an outline, which I love. I couldn’t help myself and added a third layer of vellum to help the sentiment stand out a bit more against the chocolates. Then I added a secondary embossed sentiment “hugs and kisses” from the new Potted Roses stamp set. 

My second card uses many of the same Valentine Mug Additions dies, but this time I paired them with the Winter Mug.   

I started by creating a candy heart background using two of the layers in the new Layered Valentine Hearts stencils. So much fun! Next, I used the two largest Wonky Stitched Squares dies to create a frame, which in this case anchors my focal point. 

Now for the mug! I blended on a little ink around the edges of the mug, then I stuffed it full of darling dies from Valentine Mug Additions – cherry, whipped cream, strawberry, and double hearts.

The fabulous Large Love Shadow die fit perfectly across the mug. I adore it.  

Speaking of things I adore, how cute is that spoon?! I figured a chocolate and sprinkle coated spoon would be the perfect thing to stir into a mug of hot chocolate. The sprinkles are from the new Valentine’s Day Mix clay confetti.  I added a marshmallow from the Winter Mug dies and a rose from the Valentines Mug Additions dies, and called it a day. :) 

Thanks so much for joining me today! I had so much fun creating with the new dies, and I know you will too. Join us tomorrow as we reveal the products and the bundles go live!

Hi crafty friends! It’s Dana here and I am excited to be back sharing a sneak peek of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh. This release includes four new stencils: Layered Chocolates, Layered Valentine Hearts, Layered Cherries and Layered XOXO. Today I will be using two of the sets, so let’s get started…

New release will be available January 5th. 

My first card uses the Layered Cherries stencils to create my card panel. This is a three pack of stencils that layer together to create a fun background. To make my background, I used Distress Oxide ink (Candied Apple, Mowed Lawn and Brushed Corduroy) and small blended brushes to add ink to each layer. Once my panel was finished I added a few white paint splatters and set it aside to dry.

Next, I used the Sweet Cherries stamp and die set for my stamped cherries and sentiment. I colored the cherries with Copic markers and attached them along with my sentiment to my card panel with foam adhesive. I love how these products coordinate together though also can be used on their own! Lastly, I trimmed my panel down and attached it to an A2 card base to finish my card.

My next card uses the Layered XOXO stencil set. 

I started my card by using the Layered XOXO stencil set to make my card panel. This is a set of three stencils: X’s, O’s and Hearts. I used the Hearts in place of the O’s to make my background, but either layer works the same. I love that you have both options! I used Distress Oxide ink in Spun Sugar and Salvaged Patina for my layers. 

Next, I used the Scallop Heart die to die cut a heart from the center of my panel. I attached acetate behind the opening and added foam adhesive to create a shaker. I then filled the shaker with the XOXO confetti mix before closing it up. Lastly, I used the Large Love Hot Foil Plate to create my sentiment. Following the directions for my machine I foiled the sentiment onto a piece of red cardstock with gold foil. I then used the Large Love Shadow die to cut it out. Lastly, I attached it to my card panel with a little liquid glue.

Thanks for joining me today! I know you will love these new products and I can’t wait to see what you create with them!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hi friends! It’s Stefanie here today and I am sharing a sneak peek of the Heart Critters stamp set. The critters are just adorable and I thought they were the perfect size to use with the Sweet Note dies.

New release will be available January 5th. 

I created two Sweet Notes and added a leopard on one and a panda on the other. To begin, I colored both of the critters using a mix of Copic and Ohuhu(O) markers.

• Leopard yellow: E37, YR24, YR21, YR20, E30
• Leopard nose and ear pinks: E11, R30, R000
• Leopard white: E40
• Leopard heart: R20(O), R19(O), R18(O)
• Leopard bow/Panda flower: R9(O), R21(O)
• Panda green leaf: GY4(O), GY7(O)
• Panda black: NG09(O), NG06(O), NG03(O)
• Panda white: W3, W1, W00

Next I used the Heart Critters coordinating dies to cut out the images and set them aside while I worked on the envelopes. 

I knew I wanted the envelopes to be a dark pink and the background for the critters to be a light pink. Since I didn’t have any dark pink cardstock, I die cut 2 envelopes and used Picked Raspberry distress oxide to color them in. 

For the backgrounds, I die cut 2 squares and used distress oxides in Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar to create a gradient from pink to white on each. I also used water droplets to lift up some of the pink and give the background some more texture. To create a bit more subtle valentine theme, I pulled out all the cute valentine sentiments from the release and stamped them in the bottom portion of the background in Spun Sugar.

To finish off the outside of the envelope, I adhered the background onto the envelope and propped up the critter using foam tape.

For the inside, I used the Pinstripe stencil with Spun Sugar distress oxide to create the stripe pattern and adhered another square die cut in white card stock to create a little area for a handwritten note.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like my sweet little notes!
