Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at some of the new dies from the January 11th release!

For my first card, I’ve used the Birthday Cake die. This fabulous die is A2 in size and makes it so easy to create fun birthday cards.

I cut the die twice from white card, layering them together for dimension. I added a gel print distress oxide background to my card base, created with Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Shaded Lilac inks. I then the layered Birthday Cake die on top.

Colour can be added to the die cut pieces using different colouring mediums. You can also die cut the panel from patterned paper or coloured card for easy paper piecing. I love to use glitter or embossed card too, for some fun texture.

The sentiment is from the new Let’s Party stamp set. I cut the sentiment into a strip and layered it over some card inked with Wilted Violet distress oxide ink. As a finishing touch, I covered the balloons with Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard.

On my second card, I used the new Slimline: Peekaboo Windows die set. Slimline cards are really popular and I’m excited that Pretty Pink Posh is releasing two slimline die sets this month.

The Slimline: Peekaboo Windows set has 6 dies. I love that the largest stitched die is slightly smaller than a standard 8.5 x 3.5 slimline card, leaving a border on my card base. A lovely bonus of this is that it also cuts in my die machine with one pass.

I blended a rainbow of distress oxide inks onto the large die cut panel, then adhered it to my card base.

Next, I cut the smaller panel die along with the 3-window die from white glitter card. This die set is so versatile – there are many ways to use the dies together or separately. There are also 3 square peekaboo dies included in the set.

I cut these dies again, this time from white card. I stamped images from the new Party Days stamp set on the squares cut from the dies. I coloured them with copics and adhered the squares in the spaces on my card.

I have one more card to share today, this time showcasing the new Stitched Gift Card Holders. There are 2 dies in this set. I used the scalloped edge die on my card.

I cut the die from white card and adhered it on another panel of white card. Make sure not to add adhesive on the flaps as these need to lift up to hold a gift card.

I used the new Layered Confetti stencils to add an embossed glitter pattern to my panel. I blended  some picked raspberry distress oxide ink to my card base, then layered the embossed panel on top.

As this is the front of my card, I wanted something to be revealed behind the gift card when it’s removed from the gift card holder. I stamped an image from the new Party Days stamp set, coloured it with copics, then die cut with the coordinating die. I then adhered it on the gift card holder with liquid glue.

The sentiment is from the new Let’s Party stamp set. I stamped it on a strip of card, inked with picked raspberry distress oxide ink, then adhered it across the card to finish.

We hope that you have been inspired by the sneak peeks this week. Join us tomorrow for the reveal of the new products and to order the complete release bundles!
