Good morning! It’s Lindsey here and I’m excited to share a card with you today that combines several of my favorite things. First up is the amazing new Acorn Shaker Die. I love all the shaker dies because of their larger size and because they look fantastic even if you choose not to fill them. I also happen to have a special fondness for acorns, so this die made me smile from the moment I saw it. 

One acorn certainly wouldn’t suffice, so I created a stack of them on a slimline card using a few of my favorite colors.  Then I added one word to each acorn using the Thankful For You Script Dies.  

For my background, I die cut several of the leaves from the Falling Leaves coordinating dies in the same color as my card base. This added texture and interest but in a non-competing way.  

Once I had all my acorns stacked up, I tucked in a little vellum and cream foliage from the new Fall Mug Additions Dies and the Fall Foliage Dies (a long-time favorite of mine). I added a touch of Matte Gold Confetti Mix (because I can’t stop using it!) and my card was complete.

Hello, everyone! It’s Leica here. Today I want to share a fun 3D project using the Stitched Pumpkins dies from Pretty Pink Posh. This set comes with three pumpkin sizes that create adorable 3D pumpkins. They’re perfect for place card holders or as a festive centerpiece for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

For this project, I used 29 lb cardstock from Michaels and I cut 4 sheets at once, which saves a lot of time since we need many pieces. The more pieces you cut, the fuller the pumpkins will look.

The process is straightforward, though it may take some time to assemble. You can cut just four pieces to make a stand-alone pumpkin. You can experiment with heavyweight cardstock or colored and patterned paper too.

Once you have all the pieces, fold them in half and use a binder clip to hold them together. Apply glue to the spine of the pumpkins and let them dry. Then, attach the stem using the die provided or find something suitable in your garden. I used Helmar glue to adhere the stem to the center of the pumpkins.

For the leaf, I cut the die in green cardstock and added some interest with Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink.

I made several pumpkins in different sizes to use as centerpieces for Thanksgiving. However, you can also use these dies for cards, not just 3D projects. They’d make beautiful focal pieces for cards too.

I hope my 3D pumpkin projects have inspired you to create your own. It’s a fun activity suitable for everyone. Both grown-ups and children can do this project together. Include the kids and create many 3D pumpkins.

Hello! It’s Lindsey here today I have had so much fun creating with the August Release! I shared a few projects earlier during the sneak peeks and am excited to share more with you today.  

I’m a big fan of Halloween but only the cute Halloween stuff, so this release is right up my alley. The new Halloween Mug Additions definitely fit the cute bill, so I used them to create a fun stack of mugs. 

Let’s start at the top. Do you remember the original Winter Mug die set? Not only did it include the mug that we’ve all grown to love, but it also had some fun extras including the cute little ghost I used on my card.  

The new Halloween Mug Additions have so many creative options, and I started with the cat. Next, I made the pumpkin mug. There is a jack-o-lantern face in this die set, but I wanted a really big smile, so I used the largest jack-o-lantern face from the Stitched Pumpkins Dies.

Finally, I created a Frankenstein mug. He’s my favorite. :) You can create a surprising amount of expressions for him.  He can look more stern/grumpy/scary or cute and happy like I did here depending on how you position his mouth.  

The sentiment was created with the Sentiment Strips: Halloween Stamps and the Sentiment Strips Dies. Love, love, LOVE!!! The Sentiment Strip Dies are an amazing addition to your crafty supplies. They work with pretty much every Pretty Pink Posh stamp set and are so versatile. They immediately jumped to my list of all time favorite products!

The final touches were some Spider Webs and a starry background using a tiny star stamp from the Ghost Friends stamp set.

Hello, it’s Barbara here and I’m happy to be sharing a card using the new release. I love guesting for Pretty Pink Posh! If you want to see more of my guest designer projects, visit me on Instagram!

I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down another piece of white cardstock to leave a bit of a border to create my background panel. Using distress oxides inks I created a spooky night sky starting with the lightest color in the center of panel and then blended darker ink from the corners to towards the center.

I die cut the Spooky Wishes Shadow out 110lb white cardstock and fun foam for dimension. I used liquid glue to add to the center of the ink blended panel.

Copies used: Y08, Y15, YR04, YR07, V04, YG23 and 100 black
Distress Oxide inks: Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Uncharted Mariner, Black Soot

I then die cut the ghost, pumpkin, bat, cat, star and moon images from the Halloween House die set out of white cardstock. I colored the images using copic markers. I arrange them all around the Spooky Wishes Shadow. I added a few more stars and some white dots with acrylic paint and a stylus.

Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Leica here, and I have a super fun shaker card to share with you today, featuring the awesome new Fruit Mug Additions Dies. I absolutely love how this card turned out, and I’m sure the lucky recipient will enjoy it too.

To get started, I took a white cardstock and cut it to A2 size. I then blended Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide Ink all over it. To add some extra pizzazz, I used the Starburst Stencil and applied Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Ink. For a bit of flair, I splattered some white acrylic paint on the card panel. I softened the background by adding a sheet of vellum and framed the panel with a white frame.

Next, I used pink cardstock to cut out a mug shape using the Winter Mug Dies. I made a window on it to turn it into a shaker element. I thought it would be cute to make it look like a small glass for my milkshake, so I cut the handle off. For the shaker bits, I used the Strawberry Banana Clay Confetti. I also cut out five strawberries from the Fruit Mug Addition Dies. I watercolor some paper in red for the strawberries and used Copic markers to color the leaves. To complete the milkshake, I cut out a teal straw and white shimmer cardstock for the whipped cream. I arranged all these elements on the card panel.

For the sentiment, I stamped “You’re Berry Sweet” on a strip of pink cardstock. I added some Bubblegum Pearls here and there for extra interest. Lastly, I adhered the card panel onto an A2-sized cardstock.

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I have a new post and video to share today. I just love the new fruit themed products from the brand new release and when I saw the Mini Scallop Card Dies, an idea popped into my head to make little cards that I think would be so cute as a gift.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

I stamped and colored images from the Citrus stamp set, Fresh Berries stamp set and Watermelon stamp set. They have been stamped in alcohol marker friendly black ink and colored in with Ohuhu Art Honolulu Markers. I have a coloring guide if you would like to see what I used to color in each of the fruits and different leaf combinations!

I also used their coordinating dies (Citrus, Fresh Berries, Watermelon) to cut out the images and added highlights with a white gel pen.

Using the colors I used for my fruit as inspiration, I picked colored cardstock and cut the Mini Scallop Card Dies base in the three colors for each card. There is a stitched rectangle die in this set as well so I cut white cardstock for the inside of my cards for a sentiment. I will also use this stitched rectangle to cut the background for the front of the card, but that will come later.

In my video I begin with creating my stenciled backgrounds to coordinate with the stamped images. I started with Layered Citrus Stencils with (A) Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide, (B) Mustard Seed Distress Oxide, and (C) Shooting Star Lunar Paste. The next background was created with Layered Watermelon Stencils with (A) Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide, (B) Twisted Citron Distress Oxide, Lucky Clover Distress Oxide, and (C) Black Tie Stencil Butter. Finally, the last background was Layered Strawberries Stencils with (A) Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide, Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide, (B) Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide, (D) Lucky Clover Distress Oxide, (C) Chocolate Stencil Butter, and Shooting Star Lunar Paste.

When the backgrounds were dry, I brought back the stitched square from the Mini Scallop Card Dies and die cut as many backgrounds I could fit so I can save these for future projects!

After assembling the Mini Scallop Cards together, I added in some extra shine with new shimmer mixes in Lemon, Lime, and Strawberry. I hope these mini cards bring you inspiration today!

Hi Pretty Pink Posh friends! Raquel here and I’m so happy to be sharing with you how I made this sweet Mini Scalloped Slimline card using the new Mini Scallop Card die and the Citrus Stamp Set from the brand new release.

I started this project by coloring these super cute images from the Citrus stamp set and the berries from the Fresh Berries stamp set. 

I used Y00. Y02, Y06, Y11, Y13 and YG01 for the Lemons and G17, YG09, and YG00 for the leaves. I colored the small flowers with R00 and R20.

I wanted to add some extra color apart from yellow so I used the berries with RV66, RV09, RV17 and RV52 copic markers.

Once I had all my images colored, I decided to use the Mini Scallop Card die to create a base to my design. 

All I had to do was partial die cutting, so I first run it through my die cutting machine making sure the top plate was only covering half of the die. Once it was cut, I put the die on top of the die cut piece again though this time the top plate covered the other half of the die.

To add some extra interest, I applied some splatters using white pearl watercolors.

For my sentiment I used the new Large Smile Shadow die using a bright summery teal cardstock and even added some extra foliage using the Stitched Leafy Borders die set coloring them with YG03 and YG 17 Copic markers.

I hope you like this non-conventional use of the Mini Scallop card die. I always have so much fun trying to come up with new ideas for using the products we have in different ways.
