Hello, friends! Justin here and today I’m excited to share a bright and colorful bug-themed card featuring several adorable Pretty Pink Posh products. I also created a full video tutorial showing exactly how this card came together from start to finish.

Cute Bugs Stamp Set
Cute Bugs Coordinating Die Set
Honeycomb Stencil
Checkered Pierced Plate Die
Thinking of You Shadow Die
Additional Products Used
- Distress Oxide Inks: Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Salvaged Patina, Mermaid Lagoon, Shaded Lilac & Wilted Violet
- Pearl Paint & Splatter
- Crater Lake Sequins
- White & Dove Cardstock
- Olo Markers
To create this colorful background, I started by using the Honeycomb Stencil along with a full rainbow blend of Distress Oxide Inks. Blending the colors from warm tones into cool tones helped create a bright gradient that really makes the card stand out.
After completing the ink blending, I layered the panel over the Checkered Pierced Plate Die cut background to add extra texture and subtle detail throughout the card front. I also added pearl paint splatter and water bleach marks across the panel for additional movement and interest.
The adorable bugs from the Cute Bugs Stamp Set were colored with Olo Markers using bright coordinating colors to match the rainbow background. Once die cut, I arranged the bugs around the large Thinking of You Shadow Die sentiment to help frame the focal point of the card.
To finish the design, I added a few Crater Lake Sequins for sparkle and dimension while keeping the overall design bright, playful, and easy to mail.
