Hey crafty friends, it’s Amanda here and I’m thrilled to be a guest at PPP this month! This Spring Flowers card also features the new Mini Grid stencil and Crafty Sentiments stamp set.

I started by stamping my florals with a gray copic friendly ink and then colored them with my copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and arranged them in two random bunches. Next, I used liquid glue to adhere the flower bundles together and put an acrylic block on top to help them dry flat.

While those were drying, I cut a piece of teal cardstock and layered the new Mini Grid stencil over the top. I randomly spread Thermoweb Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel through the holes, intentionally not covering the whole panel.

While that panel was drying, I die cut a while Scallop Diamond Tag and stamped a sentiment from Crafty Sentiments in the center. I arranged the floral bursts around it and glued them together. 

For my card assembly, I added the stenciled panel to a white card base and popped up the frame from the Nature Essentials die with foam strips. Finally I added the florals and sentiment with foam tape as well. I kept my finishing touches simple today by just adding glossy accents to all of the flower centers. 

Between the background sparkle and the random shine in the flowers, I just adore this finished card! I hope you do too!

Hello friends, Gemma here. Today I’m sharing a sweet Easter card, using the new Layered Eggs stencil set and Easter Circles stamp set.

I began with a panel of white card, cut to 6″ square. I taped the first layer of the Layered Eggs stencil set over the panel, then inked it with distress oxides. Although I didn’t use them on this card, I was inspired by the pretty pearl colours in the March release.

Distress oxide inks: Dried Marigold, Kitsch Flamingo, Shabby Shutters, Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac

I kept the inking on the first layer light, so I could use the same inks to add a heavier layer of colour with the second stencil in the set. This one adds the patterns to the eggs.

I cleaned the stencil, then repositioned it over my panel so I could add a layer of Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste. This is a clear glitter so will pick up the colour of the patterns underneath. Make sure to clean the stencil well after using any kind of paste. I then left the panel to dry overnight.

Copic Colors Used

Chick: Y00 Y11 Y13 Y15, YR14, R20 Egg: N0-1 Egg pattern: YR000 Y02 Y14, B60 B91 B93, Y00 Y13 Y15, BG000 BG11 BG13, RV00 R81 R83

Next, I stamped and coloured an image from the Easter Circles stamp set. The coordinating die for this set includes a pretty layer that also cuts a stitched circle slightly larger than the die for the images. I used this to cut a circle of satin gold mirror card to layer behind the image, and mounted the image on top with foam tape.

I’m enjoying making mini slimline cards at the moment, so I cut my stenciled panel down to 3.5″ wide x 5″ tall. The slightly shorter length allows space for a sentiment to be stamped on the card base. The sentiment is selectively stamped from two older stamp sets – Easter Bunnies and Simple Sentiments.

I adhered the panel to my card base, then added a Stitched Strip of the gold card along the joining edge. I then adhered the Easter Circles image to finish.

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. We are giving away 3 $25 gift certificates to three random comments (1 winner each day) left before March 20, 2022 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! It’s Leica here today with a butterfly-themed card, using the new Butterly Shaker Die and Layered Butterflies Stencils. These products go so well together and are perfect for any occasion.

Let’s begin! I first cut a 5” square panel in purple cardstock. I ink blended through the Layered Butterflies Stencils with Distress Oxide Inks – Worn Lipstick + Picked Raspberry, Salvaged Patina + Peacock Feathers, Shaded Lilac + Seedless Preserves, and Mustard Seed. 

Next, I cut a 4.5” square panel in vellum to layer on top of the stenciled panel and stamped the sentiment with Stazon Jet Black Ink. I then cut the Butterfly Shaker Stencil twice – one in white glitter cardstock and one in purple glitter cardstock. I inlaid the wings of the butterfly and foam mounted it on top of the vellum panel. I then adhered the vellum on top of the larger panel and added the new pearls (Creamsicle, Light Orchid, Limeade, Pansy Purple, and Sea Foam) to add pops of color to the butterfly. Lastly, I adhered the card panel onto a 5” square card base. 

That’s all for this card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to use the Butterly Shaker Die and the Layered Butterflies Stencils.

Hello, Gemma here today with a card featuring the new Birthday Wreath and Birthday Circles stamp sets. I thought it would be fun to add a circle image inside the wreath. They go together so well!

I stamped the wreath and circle, then coloured the images with copic markers. I die cut the wreath with the coordinating die, along with an extra die cut layer to add dimension. I cut out the circle image with extra space around the edges, so it could be adhered behind the wreath image.

Copic marker colours

Koala: W0-3, R20 R30 Present: BG11-15, RV52 Birthday Wreath: R22-24, YR14-16, Y13-15, YG01-05, BG11-15, B00-02, BV02, V000 V01 V12, RV52-55, E51-53

Next, I worked on the background. I die cut the Pretty Petals Background from white card. I popped out the pieces and adhered it over some patterned paper. I then added this to an A2 card base. This CAS background complements the wreath and circle images beautifully.

I adhered the circle wreath images on the card, then finished by adding a gold heat embossed sentiment, using a stamp from the Simple Sentiments stamp set. I layered it over some satin gold mirror card.

Hello! It’s Lindsey here, and I had a blast making today’s card.  Have you seen the new Build A Gift dies? They are fantastic! These dies are perfect for birthdays but also lots of other celebrations. I’m thinking weddings, graduations, and Christmas to name a few. Lots of possibilities here! 

I stuck with a simple color scheme of white, light aqua, and pink sorbet. I ran all the dies through the die machine and cut a set of pink and white, and then mixed and matched until I had a pile of gifts. It was loads of fun!  

I wanted each gift to be unique, so I used the tails on some bows but not on others. I also used the negative and positive polka dot cuts. Even a simple change like vertical vs. horizontal orientation added to the variety.

When all my gifts were completed, I popped them up with dimensional foam tape on my aqua card base and embossed a sentiment from Birthday Scripts in white to finish off the card.  

The Build A Gift dies are so much fun! This is definitely a set you will want to add to your collection. I know I will be using mine lots!

Thank you for celebrating with us today and for all the love! We hope to see you bright and early tomorrow for day #3 of the birthday celebration.

Hello friends, welcome to day 1 of the birthday celebration blog hop. Leica here today and I have a box card to share with you all. For my card, I used the Crafty Critters stamp set and coordinating dies, which are free gifts with qualifying purchases this month in honor of Pretty Pink Posh turning 8 (details later in this post). Hooray for more adorable critters and craft-related stamps!

To begin, I assembled the MFT Outside the Box Level Up die in white cardstock. For the panels, I covered them with patterned paper. I added 2 inserts in the box and filled it with the cutest images – all from the Crafty Critters stamp set. I used Copic markers in B04/02/00, C5/3/1/0, G 19/16/14, RV25/23/21, Y18/13/11, YR04/02/00.

For the sentiment, I white heat embossed “happy” on a strip of black cardstock and stamped “crafting” with pink ink, then cut with the coordinating die. Lastly, I adhered all the stamped elements onto the card front and inserts.

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a slimline card using the new Love Balloons stamp set. This set has some adorable critters, plus alpha balloons that spell LOVE. I know you will love this set as much as I do!

For my card, I started by cutting the large rectangle panel from the Slimline: Peekaboo Window Dies in white cardstock. I then made a cloud stencil by cutting a cloud piece from the Nature Essentials Die. With the cloud, I ink blended the panel with Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered gold and white acrylic paints onto the panel. 

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Love Balloons stamp set and coordinating dies.

I used the following Copic markers:
Beaver – E47/44/43/42
Bunny – W5/3/1
Chipmunk – E29/27/25/23/21
Skunk – C7/5/3/1/0

For the sentiment, I white heat embossed the “Happy Valentine’s Day” stamp from the Valentine Wreath stamp. I foam mounted all the elements onto the card panel. Before adhering to a card base, I added a layer of pink cardstock for more color. 

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. We are giving away 2 $25 gift certificates to three random comments (1 winner each day) left before January 16, 2022 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!
