Hey friends! Elaine here today from @pinkpeppermint cards. A new Pretty Pink Posh release is here and I have a super fun and festive project to share with you. Go ahead and grab a coffee and join us for a fun blog hop showcasing lots of fun inspiration using the new release plus a chance to win a prize!

To start my project I took 4 pieces of heavyweight white card cut to 6”x6”.  Taking the Layered Holly Stencil I took stencil B and ink blended on the holly leaves in a green, teal shade all over each of the card panels. I then used stencil C to blend a slightly heavier layer of the same ink through the apertures to create the spines of the holly leaves.  Lastly, took stencil A to apply a red ink through the holes to add berries to the panel.  Before removing the stencil, I applied Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Sceptre Red to give some sparkle and added dimension.  To add a little more interest to my card panels and add extra sparkle I splattered on some gold metallic paint over the top of the stencil pattern.  I set all 4 panels aside to dry and thoroughly cleaned my stencils and paint brush.

While the panels were drying, I prepared my tags and sentiments.  Firstly I die cut some tags from white card stock using the Stitched Essentials 1 die set.  I used a border die from the Stitched Borders 1 die set and cut away the bottom half of each tag.  For the tags, I added sentiments using the beautiful new Holiday Scripts stamp set in a black pigment ink.  I also prepared the sentiments for my cards while my card panels were drying.  I stamped the words ‘Merry’ and ‘Holidays’ on to white cardstock with a black pigment ink and used the Holiday Scripts coordinating dies to cut out the words.  I also white heat embossed the words ‘Christmas’ and ‘Happy’ on to black cardstock and trimmed into thin strips. 

Using a guillotine, I trimmed 2 of my holly stencilled panels down to 4.5” x 4.5”.  I wrapped a strip of vellum around each card panel and adhered each end to the back with double sided adhesive.  I put foam tape on the back of each panel and adhered each one to a white 5”x 5” side folding card base.  I applied my pre prepared sentiments on to the vellum strip with liquid adhesive. 

Taking the Stitched Essentials 1 die set again, I cut tags from the remaining holly blended panels.  I adhered the stamped tag pieces over the top of the stencilled tags with liquid adhesive.  I used a hole punch to add some holes to the tags and popped some red thread through the openings.   

As a final embellishment on both the cards and tags I added some new Metallic Gold Pearls in various sizes using some liquid adhesive.

Hello, Gemma here and I have a jolly Christmas card to share, using the new October release using a bright and bold colour scheme of red and blue.

I stamped images from Snowman Friends and Village Additions and coloured them with my copic markers. I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

Next, I worked on the background. I adhered a panel of patterned paper to a 5.25 inch square card base, then added a piece of white card for the snowy ground.

Copic marker colours

Snowmen: B00, B000; YR14; E74, Clothes: B63, B66, B69; R22, R24, R27
Trees: E74; G14, G07, G28

I arranged the images in the scene, adhering them directly on the card, apart from the smaller snowman who is popped up with foam tape.

For the main sentiment, I used the fabulous Holiday Scripts stamp set, which is a must-have. I love having the coordinating dies for the large words, which offer lots of possibilities. My favourite way to use this set is to heat emboss the words in white on coloured card stock, then die cut with the coordinating dies. I added a couple of die cut layers behind the Merry word for dimension.

I embossed the second sentiment on a strip of red cardstock, then adhered both at the base of the card. For a fun extra sentiment, I decided to give the snowmen a speech bubble sentiment. I used the previously released Stitched Speech Bubbles die set, cutting one from white card and another from red.

I stamped the sentiment from Snowman Friends in blue ink, to match the colour scheme, then offset layered the speech bubbles together on the card to finish.

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today. I have a simple Christmas card to share with you all to kick off day 1 of the blog hop.

For this square-shaped card, I used images from the new Pretty Pink Posh Christmas Candles stamp set and Poinsettia Corners stamp set. Let’s begin! I first cut a 4.25″ square in silver glitter cardstock. I also cut a 4″ square and adhered it onto the larger panel.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Christmas Candles stamp set and Poinsettia Corners stamp set. I used the following Copic markers: E42/41/40, R39/37/35, T5/3/1, Y18/11.

I glued down the 3 large candles directly on the card. I also stamped “Christmas” and “sending love & light” on the card panel. Next, I foam mounted the smaller candles, poinsettia, and the “merry” greeting. For added texture and interest, I added Metallic Silver Pearls here and there. 

We’re giving away this not-yet-released 4 layer stencil called Layered Plaid with qualifying orders over $125. This is while supplies last and will automatically be included with orders.

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today with a fun card for fall. The new fall release just might be my favorite release yet, so many amazing new products. Let’s get started…

I started my card by making my background. I used the new Leaf Frame die and ran it through my die cutting machine with no extra shims so I could get an impression of the die on my cardstock. I then used my Copic markers and quickly colored the leaves. I didn’t worry about staying in the lines because I knew it would be covered. Next, I ran the Leaf Frame die through my die cutting machine again with normal pressure to get a clean cut. I then laid the frame over the colored panel to create my background. 

Next, I used the Cozy Fall Critters set to stamp my mouse, sentiment and leaves. I colored my images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I am in love with these critters. They are so cute and perfect for fall. Though I also can’t wait to use them for winter. I think their little sweaters and scarves will be so adorable for a winter scene. 

Lastly, I added my images with foam adhesive to finish my card.

Hello everyone! It’s Leica here today with an Autumn card with the cutest critters at the pumpkin patch. I wanted to use non-traditional fall colors and I’m so happy that it worked out for this card. I hope you like it!

To create my card, I started by cutting a 5″ square panel that I ink blended with Peacock Feathers and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Inks. I sprayed with water for an oxidized effect and added white dots here and there with a white gel pen. I also cut a 4.5″ square and ink blended Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink through the Leaves Background Stencil. Next, I cut the ornate die from the Fall Circles coordinating die in kraft cardstock and ink blended the bottom with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.

The images are from a previously released set, Pumpkin Patch Critters stamp set. I stamped them with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on 110lb white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I also cut one of the images from the new Fall Circles stamp set. 

Pumpkins – G46/43/40, R85/83/81, YR23/21/20

Squirrel – W5/3/1/0 

Mouse – C5/3/1

Rabbit – E55/53/50

I cut the images with their coordinating dies and adhered them to the ornate panel, using glue and foam tape. I then stamped the Autumn Greetings sentiment onto the yellow panel and foam mounted the ornate panel on top. Lastly, I cut a white 5″ square, scored at the .25″ mark, and adhered it to the card panel to finish my card.

Hi everyone! Jane here sharing these fun Halloween tags featuring the new Monster Hugs set!

To create these cute tags, I first cut the base of the tags from Bristol cardstock using the Stitched Duo 3 die set.  Next, I blended the panel using the following distress oxide inks (top to bottom): black soot, faded jeans, salvaged patina and speckled egg.  Next, the background was splattered with water using a thin paintbrush and the tags were left to dry.

While the backgrounds were drying, the images from Monster Hugs were stamped, colored using copic markers and die cut using the coordinating dies.  White gel pen used to accent the images.  The black background pieces were die cut using the Nature Essentials die and black cardstock.  

Finally, all the elements were adhered to the tags with the excess around the edges snipped off using craft scissors.  The monsters were adhered using thin foam squares to create dimension. Lastly, I used a hole punch at the top of the tags and tied them using some thread to finish the tags.
