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.

Hi, crafty friends. It’s Leica here today and I have an adorable thank you card using stamps and die cuts from the new release. Let’s get started!

In lilac and blush colored cardstock, I cut the panels using Stitched Notes Die for this A2 sized card. I then cut the basket in yellow cardstock. I love this new basket die, which is intended for Easter but also looks great with flowers in it. 

Next, I stamped the flowers from the Floral Corners stamp set and colored with Copic Markers – Y28/26/21, YG67/63/61, R00, BV01/000/0000. I also stamped my favorite butterflies from Mom stamp set and colored in BV01/000/0000 to fill the card. I cut the images with their coordinating dies and adhered to the card. 

For the sentiment, I cut a strip from the Simple Strips Dies and stamped “THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO” from the Mom stamp set. 

I then tucked in some leaves under the flowers, using negatives from the Pretty Petals Background that I used on a different project. So make sure to save those, as you can use them as leaves or to create a 3D flower to use on your cards and scrapbook layouts. 

Lastly, I feel like it’s not a Pretty Pink Posh card without the jewels, so I added Sparkling Clear Jewels for extra texture and interest to the card.

Hi crafty friends! It’s Melody today, and I have a card to share with you that was created with the new Daffodils stamp set, the Daffodils coordinating dies, and the Daffodils stencil. You will love how these three products work together. 

I started by stamping the daffodils in Black Hybrid Ink and colored the flowers and leaves with Copic Markers. Next I die cut my stamped images with the Daffodils coordinating dies. 

Next I cut a piece of cardstock to fit the card front in a light aqua. Then in a coordinating ink I stenciled the daffodils with the new Daffodils stencil.

Using the largest die in the Scallop Ovals Dies, I created an oval frame from whtie cardstock. Behind the frame I added a piece of vellum. Vellum allows the pattern to show through, but still gives the effect of framing the tulips. At the bottom I stamped a sentiment from the Simple Sentiments stamp set. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. The sentiment is die cut with the Simple Strips dies.

It’s Leica here today with a mini slimline card, great for any occasion. For this card, I used the new Spring Robins stamp set and the music notes are from an older set, Winter Friends stamp set.

Let’s begin! First, I cut a panel in white cardstock to 3.25 x 6.25 inches. I inked the bottom part with Picked Raspberry and the top with Spun Sugar distress oxide. I then cut another panel to 3×6 inches and used Tumbled Glass distress oxide ink to stencil the clouds. For that, I used the new Scallop Edges stencil which gave the clouds a whimsical look that I love. With a black gel pen, I added dots here and there for added interest to the card.

I then stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Spring Robins stamp set. I just adore this set. You can stamp and color as many images as you would like to fill your card. 

Next, I adhered the images using liquid glue and foam tape for dimension. I then thought of drawing in some music notes to match the sentiment, but I found some in an older stamp set. So make sure to check what you already have. You can always mix and match older stamps with new ones.

These adorable birds just make me smile and I know you will enjoy creating cards with this stamp set.
