Hi friends! Christina here from My Crafty Trails, and I’m so excited to be sharing my project showcasing some of the cutest products from the newest Pretty Pink Posh release, the Baby Rattle Shaker and Beautiful Bows die sets.

To start my project, I created my own text background by repeatedly stamping small sentiments with white pigment ink on minty green cardstock. Most of the sentiments I used are from the new Sentiment Strips: Occasions Stamp Set, but I pulled a few from the recent Birthday and Valentine stamp sets too. Before adding a stitched white frame from the Nature Essentials Dies to my text background, I splattered it with some white gouache paint.

Next, I die cut all the elements to make three baby rattles from navy, white, yellow, and pink cardstock. I chose not to make my rattles into shakers for this project and just assembled them with the decorative pieces included in the set. I decided to add some of the gorgeous and super-versatile bows from the new Beautiful Bows Die Set. And the dot detail on the yellow rattle is actually a component of one of the bows! 

To finish up my card, I attached the assembled rattles to my background and trimmed the handles that overhung the panel. Then, I stamped a sentiment from the new Baby Basics Stamp Set in blue ink and fussy cut around the text before attaching it to my card. Lastly, I added a few white clay hearts and then attached everything to a navy cardstock panel.

Welcome everyone to day two of the blog hop, Annette Allen here with you today and I am so excited  to be guest designing again for this amazing release. I have created a card using the new.. 

– Baby Mug Additions Dies 
– Layered Baby Wreath Stencils (3 layers) 
– Sentiment Strips Occasions Stamp Set 
– Sentiment Strips Dies 

Create a card from white cardstock A2 size. 

Cut a panel on kraft cardstock A2 size and stencil the new Layered Baby Wreath Stencils on it  using colors that you love and well that would be great for a new baby. 

Adhere your stenciled panel to your card base using liquid glue. 

Die cut all the fun shapes, letters and images from the new Baby Mug Additions die set. You  can use colored cardstock or just ink blend some colors on the images.  

Stamp out the sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips: Occasions stamp set on white  cardstock using black ink and then die cut using the Sentiment Strips die set.  

Die cut the scalloped Sentiment Strips die on kraft cardstock and ink blend lightly a little pink  around the edges. Now adhere the sentiment to the center of the scalloped sentiment strip  using foam tape. This gives the sentiment a little dimension.  

Adhere your sentiment to the your card also using foam tape.  

Now let’s build out little baby scene above the sentiment strip. Use liquid glue and foam tape  where it is needed. Usually when layering your images using foam tape helps them stand out a  little more then just gluing them down all with liquid glue.

Hello crafty friends, Marine here. I’m here for the first day of the blog hop with fun and bright friendship card showcasing two new products from the Pretty Pink Posh May 2024 Release: the Decorative Hexagons stamp set and the Fancy Lattice stencil. And those beautiful hexagons definitely reminded me of bees, so I brought the Bee Friends back!

I started off by creating my background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I first covered the entire panel with salvaged patina oxide ink to get a nice aqua base, and then I used the Fancy Lattice stencil along with peacock feathers oxide ink to create a beautiful pattern on my piece of paper. I also added a little bit of peacock feathers oxide ink on the four edges of my panel, and then added texture. I first splattered water that I dried using a paper towel, next I mixed some peacock feathers oxide with water and used a small brush to add more splatters, and I did the same with black soot oxide ink and with copic opaque white ink.

I set my panel aside to dry, and stamped three Bee Friends on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them using the matching dies, and colored them using my alcohol markers. I used a white gel pen to add highlights and details to my three little bees, and applied white blizzard nuvo drops on their wings to make them sparkle. And I also white heat embossed three trails on vellum, cut them using the matching dies, and set those pieces aside for later.

Next I stamped multiple Decorative Hexagons outlines on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using the same black ink as the bees, and started off by “coloring” those hexagons using the solid images along with Lawn Fawn Merman dye ink, and I stamped the patterns using Lawn Fawn Peacock dye ink. I cut my hexagons using the matching dies, attached them all on my Fancy Lattice panel using 1mm foam squares, along with the bees and trails, leaving enough space for my greeting.

Speaking of which, I started off by cutting the Friend Shadow word out of gold glitter cardstock. Next I white heat embossed “Love you bunches” from Hedgehog Friends on black cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and then attached both pieces on my panel using 1mm foam squares. I finished my card by adding Onyx Black Pearls here and there, as well as a red heart from the Valentine Hearts clay confetti pack right above the “i” in “Friend”.

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. We are giving away 3 $30 gift certificates to three random comments (1 winner each day) left before May 15, 2024 at 11:59 PM PST. I’ll be announcing the winners next week, so be sure to return and see if you are one of the winners.

Hello, friends. Barbara here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog and I am so happy to share a project I made using some of the brand new products.

I have made a fun shaker card using the new Bunny Face Shaker die. I made this card using an A2 size card base cut from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down another piece of white cardstock to leave a bit of a white border. I then placed the new Easter Words stencil over the white panel and added distress ink over the stencil. I then removed the stencil and ink blended a bit lighter using the same distress inks.

Using a paintbrush, I flicked some distress ink over the stenciled background for some interest. I then die cut the Bunny Face Shaker from white cardstock and added a piece of acetate to the back of the bunny face. I flipped over the bunny face and added the shaker elements to the inside of the bunny and also some foam tape to adhere the piece of white cardstock behind the bunny face to enclose the shaker bits. I trimmed it down and adhered it to the center of the stenciled panel. I then die cut and ink blended the carrots from the new Big Easter Cupcake die set and added them to the bottom of the card.

Last, I die cut a banner from the Love From Afar die set and stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Easter stamps.

Hello crafty friends, Marine here. I’m super happy to share with you this lovely card that features some of the brand new products from the March 2024 Release: the Spring Mug Additions die set and the Layered Floral Vines stencils. Love how both items match so beautifully, such a great duo!

First thing I created was the background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and started off by covering the piece of paper with spun sugar oxide ink to get a nice soft base. Next I used the Layered Floral Vines stencils to add flowers and greenery to this light pink background. For the flowers I applied worn lipstick oxide ink that I blended in with spun sugar oxide ink, and used worn lipstick again for the center of the flowers. And for the greenery I applied rustic wilderness oxide ink that I blended in with mowed lawn oxide ink.

Every time I create an ink blended background, I like to add texture to make it more interesting. So I first splattered some water all over the panel that I dried using a paper towel. Next I mixed some white ink with water and used a small brush to add more splatters to my panel, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink.

While my panel was drying, I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock. I used most of the Spring Mug Additions dies to cut everything, but also used the mug and the beverage dies from Winter Mug, as well as the sign die from Big Easter Cupcake to complete my little scene. I cut the bees’ wings out of pearlescent vellum, added black stripes to their bodies using a black marker, and white heat embossed my “Happy Spring” greeting from Easter Signs on the sign.

I assembled and attached everything on my Layered Floral Vines panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and added highlights and details using a white gel pen. And that’s it! It’s definitely springtime on a card, I love those beautiful flowers and cute bees! I hope you like them, too.

Hello crafty friends! I hope you’ve been enjoying all the birthday festivities so far. Barbara here and I am so happy to have a chance to share a project I made for Pretty Pink Posh’s 10th birthday celebration!

For this project, I used the brand new Party Balloons die set. I used the technique of die cutting the balloons out of a variety of toned colored cardstock to create a background.

I created an ink blended panel with soft gray distress ink and arranged the balloons on the panel to make them look like they were flying around. I adhered them with foam squares and then added the Large Celebrate Shadow die cut from gold cardstock for a festive look.

We are having a special gift offer and discount code to celebrate the birthday festivities!

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. We are giving away 5 $30 gift certificates to random comments (1 winner each day) left before February 16, 2024 at 11:59 PM PST.
