Hi, everyone! It’s Marge here for you and I’m sharing two Christmas cards with clean designs that feature some of the new October Release from Pretty Pink Posh.
For my first card, I heat embossed Winter Wreath in gold on watercolor paper, then I colored in the wreath using Zig Clean Brush Markers. Next, I die cut the wreath using the Winter Wreath Coordinating Dies.
I decided to make the wreath into a shaker, so I adhered a piece of acetate film on the back of the wreath and put Double Sided Foam Squares and Double Sided Foam Strips on it.Next, I prepared a white card base, place my wreath on it to check where I would put sequins, then I stamped a sentiment from the Winter Wreath set on the bottom, and placed shaker elements on it as shown in the picture below.
Then, I adhered the wreath onto the card base with caution and finished assembling the shaker. I put the brand new Celebration Confetti Mix together with Sparkling Clear Snowflakes, Snowflake Sequins Mix, Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads, and Autumn Seed Beads into the shaker.
As a final embellishment, I added a yellow baker’s twine and Sparkling Clear Snowflakes with 3mm Clear Sparkling Sequins on each snowflake.
My second card is very similar to the first one in design concept. This time, I heat embossed the JOY stamp set using rose gold embossing powder for a softer look. I colored them and cut them all using JOY coordinating dies.
Do you see the letter “O” was made into a shaker? I used the same technique as in my first card and I put Metallic Rose Gold Confetti Mix together with Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads here.
The sentiment from the same JOY set was also heat embossed in white on a piece of deep red cardstock and was foam mounted on the bottom of the card base. In turn, I added Sparkling Clear Snowflakes and red twin and finished off my card.

Hi, everyone!It’s Marge for you today and I’m sharing an autumn greetings card made with some of the new release products from Pretty Pink Posh.
First, I stamped Bear Friends and Fall Signs on 80lb Neenah White paper using Memento Black Ink, then I colored the images using my Copic Markers. I cut them all using Bear Friends Coordinating Dies and Fall Signs Coordinating Dies.
Next, I stamped Fall Borders on Neenah Desert Storm Paper using Distress Ink Antique Linen for a no-line look, then I colored in the images using my Copic Markers as well. After the coloring was done, I added more shades using my colored pencils.
If you haven’t tried Copic Marker coloring on kraft paper yet, I would definitely recommend you to try it because it is very easy and fun. The paper is so smooth that Copic markers are blended very well on it. Since the paper is dark, your Copic colors are not as bright as those on white paper, which creates an overall tone-down look perfect for the autumn mood. Plus, you can hardly see coloring mistakes on this dark paper as well.
Next, I adhered my colored images onto the kraft panel to create a lovely autumn scene. I also added pumpkins and leaves from Pumpkin Patch Critters, Autumn Wreath, and Giving Thanks stamp sets. At first, I was doubtful of putting images that were colored on white paper with black lines onto a kraft background full of no line images. But, in the end, I love how it came out and I hope you’ll like it, too.
As a final touch, I adhered some Metallic Gold Jewels and Marigold Jewels and finished off my card.

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card using a mix of the fabulous new August release and some previously released Pretty Pink Posh products. I love to mix sets to make a scene for my cards.
I began with the copic colouring. I stamped images from the new Sunflowers and Fall Signs, along with some pumpkins from the previously released Pumpkin Patch Critters.
I chose the following copic colours for my sunflowers, mixing a bit of the E50 shades into the petals: Y11, Y15, Y17, E53, E55 and E57. I stamped a greeting on the scarecrow’s sign, using a sentiment from the Fall Signs stamp set, then used the coordinating dies to cut out all the images.
Next, I worked on the background. I cut a piece of orange patterned paper to adhere to my card base. I then die cut the previously released Lattice Background from white card and adhered with liquid glue over the top. I love cover backgrounds for adding interest to a card.
I arranged my images on my card base and, once happy with the placement, I used liquid glue to adhere the sunflowers and leaves. I used foam squares to add the scarecrow over the top, then adhered the pumpkins at his feet. I just love the pumpkin with the little mouse peeking out!
For some finishing touches, I added my usual white and black gel pen details. I then used the beautiful Espresso jewels to add some sparkle to the centre of the sunflowers. The Espresso jewels are a must have for fall cards as they tone in so well with those beautful autumnal colours.

Hello, Pretty Pink Posh’ fans! This is Yana Smakula. In this video, I’m sharing a very easy method to create money holder greeting cards. You won’t need any specialty dies or supplies for this type of card and you should be able to create a card design like this using most of your Pretty Pink posh stamps and coordinating dies.
I started by stamping some images in black Copic marker friendly ink onto white paper. The size of the images you pick is the only thing that matters as you’ll want to use something that’s big enough to hide a folded bill behind it. So a small critter stamp, for example, is not going to work. But a cute giraffe, like the one I’m using here and also a gorgeous floral arrangement will. Both of these images are from Pretty Pink Posh and come from the Animal Signs and Mother’s Day stamp sets respectively.
Watch my video tutorial below to learn how I made this card.
Next, I quickly colored these using Copic markers. Nothing fancy, just some quick strokes of color to bring these images to life. I used YG03, YG17, RV34, RV11, RV10, Y11, Y35, Y17, BV11, BV00, and BV000 markers. To color the giraffe I used E37, E33, E31, R0, and E51.
I wanted to combine these two images and have my critter holding a floral bouquet and not the frame. I did some fussy cutting to eliminate the image parts I didn’t need and using foam adhesive squares I foam mounted the flowers onto my critter, added front legs and the tail. Super cute! and it wasn’t hard to do at all.
Next, I’ve done some partial die cutting using a coordinating die. To make the partial cut I only covered the part of the die that I wanted to cut into the paper and left the other part of the die free. This allowed me to do partial die cutting and only die cut the top part of my giraffe.
I also wanted to add some dry embossing to the background. I used a new Wide Stripes stencil and dry embossed on the background. I love the result! It looks very clear and simple, yet there’s pretty linear texture in the background!
I trimmed this panel down to 4” x 5 1/4”, I also made an A2 card base using hot pink cardstock. I folded the money bill and inserted it into the partially die cut panel. Next, I added foam adhesive around it making sure not to touch it. I wanted to block the bottom part of the panel so that I didn’t have stuff falling down into the card and making it impossible to get it out.
I also used my anti-static powder tool to eliminate any of the residual stickiness on the foam tape so that nothing would stick to it. Once done, I adhered the panel onto a card base, foam mounted the critter, added the bill and dressed up this card using pink stamped stars and Pearl white jewels.
I also made one more card to share, this one is for Graduation and it uses the same concept and almost same supplies.
I used a different stencil for the background, Graduation, and blended some pastels over it to give it some color and help highlight the embossed areas.
Next, I stamped, colored and cut out an adorable elephant from the Animal Signs stamp set. I used W5, W3, W1 and R20 markers. I also stamped a graduation cap and a scroll from the Congrats Grad stamp set and colored those images using Copic markers as well. I used RV34, RV11 and RV10 colors along with C9, C7, and C5 markers.
I foam mounted this darling baby elephant onto the background matching him with the partial cut already made. Next, I added his graduation cap and a scroll using foam adhesive. I foam mounted the entire panel onto a light pink card base and also embellished it with a few stamped & die cut stars and pretty white jewels.
While the slits in these cards are relatively small you should be able to tuck any folded currency bill inside or tuck a little handwritten note if you like.

Hi, everyone! Marge here sharing a graduation card with the cute critters featuring the brand new April Release from Pretty Pink Posh.
I started by stamping Congrats Grad Stamp set and Animal Signs Stamp set on Copic friendly paper using Memento Black Ink, then I colored the images using my Copic markers. Then I cut them all using Congrats Grad Coordinating Dies and Animal Signs Coordinating Dies, added white details using a gel pen, and set them aside.
To make a background, I ink blended a piece of Bristol paper with Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade, and Crushed Olive. Then, I placed the brand new Graduation Stencil onto my panel and applied moonstone glimmer paste through the stencil on the top part of the panel and let them dry.
I diecut Congrats Script Die out of white card stock twice, colored the top surface with Copic Markers and glued them together using Multi Medium Matte.
I used colors of E49-E47-E44 for script die-cuts. Before assembling a card, I chose cheerful sentiments to be inserted on the blackboard from Animal Signs Stamp set, School Friends Stamp set, and Bear Hug Stamp set and then I heat embossed them in white on each blackboard the critters are holding in their hands.
Now it’s time to assemble all the pieces together into a card! I adhered the background panel onto a card base, then I glued Congrats Script die cut on the top, and then I added cute critters with hats using Glue Dots and Foam Adhesives, I also put eyeglasses from School Friends stamp set on the koala, which made the whole scene look so fun! As a final embellishment, I adhered Shamrock Jewels and Lemon Drop Jewels around the scene and finished off my card.
Main colors of Copic Markers I used are warm gray for the koala, cool gray for elephant, neutral gray for a black hat, BV08-V09-V06-V04 for purple hats, G29-G28 for blackboards, Y38-Y35 for yellow points, and R29-R22-R14 for red points.
PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. I’m giving away 4 $25 gift certificates to four random comments (2 winners each day) left before May 8, 2019 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 and welcome! This is Caly and today, Pretty Pink Posh is helping Altenew celebrate their 5th Anniversary! It’s so wonderful to help other companies in the crafting community celebrate their success. There are lots of fun prizes, so be sure to hop along!
I’ve combined some Altenew 3D paper-layering dies with a Pretty Pink Posh sentiment. The Garden Picks 3D dies and Wild Rose 3D dies are used on today’s card to create a floral spray with flowers in multiple sizes and colors.
3D dies can be difficult to work with when there are lots of layers – so it’s really important to stay organized! I die-cut each of the pieces in the colors of cardstocks that I wanted to layer and carefully glued them together.
Once all the pieces were adhered together, I decided I would have to create a slimline card to use all the images. The card is 4.25” x 8.5” and fits into a #10 sized envelope. I trimmed a card front to 4” x *8.25” and ink-blended it with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink before laying out the pieces to adhere to this layer.
Some of the flowers are adhered directly to the card front, while others are adhered with foam adhesive for some dimension.
After arranging and adhering my flowers, I used a sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Thoughtful Greetings stamp set to stamp in the upper right hand corner with black ink. The card panel is then adhered to a card base and adorned with some Tonic Studios White Blizzard Glitter Drops.
Prizes:
Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 5 lucky winners and one Altenew Academy class to 10 lucky winners. There are also 14 awesome companies/crafty friends who are celebrating with us, and they are offering the following prizes:
