Hello hello! It’s Leica here today with a Halloween box card in pastel colors. For this box, I used the new Halloween Wreath stamp set. I love all the previously-released Pretty Pink Posh wreath stamps and am so happy that there is a Halloween version now. This is just so fun to color and the size of it makes it easy to fill up a card. 

I first ink blended Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Ink through the new Candy Background Stencil before cutting the panels for the card box. I then assembled the box using Heffy Doodle Big Shadow Box Die and die cut a 3 inch circle in the middle of one of the panels. This opening is the perfect size for the wreath to be glued on top of later. I added 2 grass inserts inside the box using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink. For the background, I used the new Spooky Sky Stencils to make my own patterned paper: the clouds were blended with Tumbled Glass, bats with Wilted Violet, and stars with Mustard Seed.

I then stamped the Halloween Wreath with Memento Tuxedo black ink on 110lb white cardstock. I colored with Copic Markers – BV01/00/000, B02/00, G43/40, R85/83/81, N3/1/0, Y18/15 and cut with the coordinating die. I glued the wreath on top of the opening in the front of the card. I also stamped the cute little ghost from the same stamp set and attached it to the insert using a strip of acetate. Next, I white heat embossed 2 more ghosts on vellum and glued them to the back insert using acetate. I flipped one of the vellum ghosts for a mirrored look. They look super cute inside the box card, but can’t really see them in the photos. 

I then white heat embossed the “Happy Halloween to you” sentiment on a strip of black cardstock and foam mounted it to the front of the card. I also added 3 little stars for added sparkle.

For the tag, I used the 3 inch circle that I cut out from the front panel of the box. I stamped the ghosts image from the Halloween Circles stamp set and cut with the coordinating die. I also cut the zigzag circle, which is included in the coordinating dies,  in white cardstock and colored with Copic B000.

Hello, Gemma here and today my card is in the style of a scrapbook layout and features lots of summery June release products.

I began with the background. I created a gel print patterned background, with evergreen bough, mermaid lagoon, and cracked pistachio distress oxide inks.

Over the top of the print, I blended salvaged patina distress oxide ink through the new Squiggles stencil. The texture of the background shows through the ink on top and it’s a nice contrast in the swirl areas of the stencil.

I layered this background print over a large square card base. My card base is 148mm square, as this fits my U.K. cardstock, but a slightly smaller 5.5 inch square card base would work well too.

Next, I die cut four of the previously released Stitched Photo Frames from white card. I layered two frames together for dimension, and stamped a sentiment on each from the new Summer Fun stamp set.

On two of the insert pieces, I created day and night beach scenes with masking and distress oxides. Here are the colours I used:

• Day beach scene is tumbled glass for sky, mermaid lagoon for sea, antique linen and frayed burlap for sand
• Night beach scene is tattered rose and kitsch flamingo for sky, blueprint sketch for sea, tattered rose and dried marigold for sand

I added some copic markers and white gel pen dot details on the sand, to give the beach some texture.

Next, I stamped images from Summer Fun and Summer Wreath stamp sets and coloured them with copic markers. The smaller images from the Summer Wreath stamp set are perfect for adding to my beach scenes. I die cut the images with the coordinating dies and arranged on the card, using foam tape for dimension. Finally, I added white gel pen highlight details to the images.

Hello friends! Ready or not, Summertime is upon us! It’s Leica here today with an A2 sized card, featuring the new Vacation Scene Die. This is a fun new addition to the previously released scene Dies – Spring, Winter, and Beach. 

Let’s begin! I first die cut the Vacation Scene Die in white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch Markers. I used BG15/11/000, E47/44/43/33/31/30, N3/1, Y15/13/11, RV11/10/00, V17/15/12. I then adhere  the pieces back together by gluing them onto a circle panel. 

For the fun background, I inked through the new Layered Surfboards Stencil in Seedless Preserves, Milled Lavender, Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar, Fossilized Amber, and Antique Linen distress oxide inks.

I added stitching details around the panel by running it through my die cut machine using the Stitched Notes Die. I then glued the outer area of the panel onto an A2 card base, and for dimension, I foam taped the center part. I also foam taped the scene die for even more dimension. Lastly, I white heat embossed the Happy Summer sentiment from Summer Fun stamp set onto a strip of black cardstock.

Hi Friends! It is Melody here today and I have a card to share with you that I created with the new Summer Wreath stamp set and coordinating dies. I love the PPP Wreath Collection and the summer theme is a fun addition to the collection. 

I started by stamping the wreath in black ink and coloring the images with Copic Markers. I die cut the wreath with the Summer Wreath coordinating die. 

The stamp set includes additional images besides the wreath. I chose some of the images to stamp, color, and die cut to add to my card. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set in the middle of the wreath and added the sunglasses below the sentiment. In the left corner I added the sun. 

I added additional images at the bottom of the card, attaching some of the images with foam tape to add dimension. 

To create the card front I cut a piece of white cardstock and blended Speckled Egg Distress Ink on the white background. Next I cut the wave with the new Stitched Waves die set. I cut the wave from white cardstock and blended Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. I splattered a little bit of white paint on the wave.

Next I cut a strip of Kraft cardstock and tore the edges to add to the look of sand. To finish the card off, I blended Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink on the edges.

Hi, friends! It’s Leica here today for day 3 of our blog hop.

I have a card and tag set using a combination of old and new stamp sets from Pretty Pink Posh. The old stamp set is Bee Friends and the new one is Spring Circles. I love that the new Spring Circles stamp sets go perfectly together with other PPP products, such as the Hummingbird Thanks, any of the butterflies sets, Spring Robins, Spring Scene Die, and the new Flower Bouquets stamp set.

Let’s start with the circle card. To begin, I die cut a white cardstock using a 4.5″ circle die and another one in 4″. I then ink blended the smaller circle with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide ink and sprayed some water for some interest. I also cut a small part of the circle in white cardstock for the grass area and inked with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide. The scallop edge is cut using Scallop Borders Dies. I ended up with 2 layers of the grass area, because the inked smudged on the first layer so I fixed my mistake by adhering another layer on top. In the end, I liked the look of the double scallop edging for the grass. 

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Bee Friends stamp set. I then stamped the bee trails on the circle panel and the sentiment on the grass piece. Lastly, I adhered the stamped images onto the card panel using liquid glue and the bees with foam tape for dimension. 

For the matching tag, I used the tag die from the Spring Circles coordinating dies. I used the Mini Polka Dots Stencil with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink for the background. The bee image in a circle is from Spring Circles and I added a little bee from the Bee Friends stamp set, too.  Lastly, the From Me to You sentiment is from Bear Friends stamp set. Make sure to check your stash for other beautiful sentiments that fit on the Simple Strips Dies.

Hey crafty friends, Elaine here for Day 2 of our blog hop. I’m sharing a seaside themed card with the amazing new stamp set Nautical.  To help build the cute scene I also used some other Pretty Pink Posh goodies and I have them linked throughout the post.

Firstly, I stamped out my images and coloured them with copic markers.  The numbers I used were:

• Red: R59, R39, R29
• Blue: B99, B97, B95
• White/Grey: C3, C1, C00, 0 (blender)
• Yellow: Y15, Y13, Y11

I then went ahead and cut out the images with the Nautical coordinating dies and set them aside while I worked on the circle scene element of the card.  

To create the layered circle scene, I cut 4 circles from heavyweight white card using the largest circle die in the Lets Party die set.  One of the circles I left whole and blended on some Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass for the sky.  This created the base layer.  The next layer I freehand cut a shape to represent ‘land’ or a ‘bank’ for the lighthouse to sit on.  I used Distress ink in Vintage Photo for the land layer.  For the wavey layers (there are 2) I used the small scallop border die from the Stitched Borders 4 die set to create waves.  Both layers were ink blended with Distress Ink in Faded Jeans.  I adhered all the layers together with liquid adhesive.  To give the waves a little more interest and definition I used a white paint pen (you could use white acrylic paint or white gouache on a paintbrush) all along the top edge of the waves to help them stand out and give the look of sea foam or waves breaking.  Before stamping on the birds, I gently laid my boat and lighthouse on to the scene to give me an idea of where the birds needed to go.  Once stamped with a black ink I filled them in with a black copic marker (100).  I adhered the lighthouse and boat to the scene and left to fully dry.

As a base for my coastal scene, I cut a piece of navy card stock to 4.25” x 4.25” and layered that on top of a piece of stripy patterned paper which measured 4.5” x 4.5”.  The two layers were adhered together with liquid adhesive and then secured to a white square card base measuring 5” x 5”. 

For the sentiment I stamped out the ‘Life’s an Adventure’ sentiment with a navy ink on white card and cut out with the coordinating die.  The circle scene and the sentiment were then adhered to the front of the card.  Lastly, to finish off the card, I popped a few white clay confetti hearts here and there and I love how they pop on the dark navy background.

Hello, crafty friends! Leica here today with a card featuring the new Tulip Cover Plate Die. I love that this is an A2 sized die and you can easily make beautiful cards for any occasion with this product. 

To begin, I die cut the Tulip Cover Plate Die in white cardstock. I then colored the negatives with Copic Sketch Markers. Next, I made an A2 card base and ink blended the front with Picked Raspberry and Antique Linen. I sprayed some water and splattered white and black acrylic paint for added interest to the background. 

I then adhered the cover plate die onto the card base with liquid glue. Next, I paper pieced the negatives onto the card. Super easy, right? The Get Well Soon sentiment is from Simple Sentiments stamp set – I cut up the sentiments so that it would fit on the tag.

Lastly, I added Sparkling Clear Jewels here and there for interest. 

That’s all for this simple but beautiful card. I hope that you enjoyed today’s card share and I can’t wait to see your take on this cover plate die.
