Hello crafty friends! Davina here sharing brand new products from the May release. This beautifully curated release is full of items for all of our spring/summer events, like Graduations and Fathers Day, pretty bird themed sets, and more. 

I especially loved these detailed Decorative Birdhouses Die Set. All of the pretty stitched details and various door options made it so fun to play with. I cut each house from Bristol Smooth Cardstock two times. With one of each design, I inkblended the house with Distress Oxide Ink, then secured the scallop edge and trim with washi tape from behind. I also added a little bit of marker detail to each house.

Next, I adhered the white trim from my second die cut houses, layered on top, and used a darker marker to color the small strips. Then, I cut and added the doors to each little house. 

I was so excited that the birds from A Little Birdie stamp set fit so perfectly with these houses. I stamped and colored three birds to add to my houses, and layered them onto a slimline cardbase that I gently inked.  I stamped the nice long branch from the Spring Birdhouses stamp set onto the cardbase as well. I intentionally left it as an outline so it wouldn’t distract from my little row of cute houses. I finished this off  with a heat embossed sentiment and a sprinkling of colored confetti from the new Rainbow Shimmer Confetti Mix. 

Make sure you “Hop along” all three days to see the incredible DT samples with this wonderful release,

Hey there, crafty friends! Leica here. I’m so excited to show you my latest creation featuring the new Decorative Birdhouses Die, Stitched Birds Die, and the previously-released Spring Foliage Die from Pretty Pink Posh. This circle-shaped card turned out so cute, and I can’t wait to share all the details with you!

To start off, I cut a 4.5 inch circle from some white cardstock and used the Layered Clouds Stencils with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to create a fluffy cloud background. Then, I matted the panel onto a 5 inch circle that I had ink blended with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink. The colors complemented each other so nicely!

Using the Decorative Birdhouses Die, Stitched Birds Die, and Spring Foliage Die, I cut out all kinds of shapes from various colored cardstock. It was so easy and fun to mix and match all the different elements. I even used the Stitched Strip Dies to make a little stand for the birdhouse.

To add some extra texture, I splattered some white ink onto the card. It turned out so cute and added a fun, playful touch.

I finished it off with a sentiment that I heat embossed in white on a strip of black cardstock. It really popped against the colorful cardstock shapes.

To create a sturdy base for the card, I cut another 5 inch circle from white cardstock and scored it at the .75 inch mark. I folded it up and glued the flap onto the card panel. It worked like a charm!

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a Mother’s Day card using the new Leafy Spring Wreath Stamp Set and the Mom/Mother Hot Foil.

For my card, I started by ink blending through the Grid Stencil on a 4.5” square white cardstock with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink. I sprayed the panel with water that has a bit of white ink. Once dry, I stamped the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment directly on the card panel. 

Next, I stamped, colored and cut the wreath, flowers, and ribbon from the Leafy Spring Wreath Stamp Set. I used Copic markers: R22/21/20/00, YG23/21. I foam mounted the wreath onto the card panel for dimension and also foam mounted the Mom/Mother Hot Foil in the center of the wreath. By the way, I used the Pewter foil and cut the “Mom” with the Mom/Mother Shadow.

I glued some Marshmallow Pearls here and there for added interest. And lastly, I glued the card panel onto a side-fold 4.5” square white card base. 

Have you tried hot foiling yet? I’m new to hot foiling and never thought I would enjoy it. I make sure to foil extras while the machine is hot and I save the sentiments for future cards. That way I don’t have to pull out the machine every time I need a sentiment. I hope you’ll give it a try (if you haven’t joined the hot foil craze already).

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to share this card using the new Spring release. The Umbrella Shaker Dies and Layered Umbrellas Stencils are just so perfect together! I love that the window die for the Umbrella is separate so you can easily make a shaker, but also have an umbrella die for other types of projects.

I like to start with stenciling to ensure my background has plenty of time to dry while I’m creating the rest of the card. Using Layered Umbrellas, I stenciled the solid umbrella layer with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide, the polka dot and stripe details with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide, the shaft and top with Lost Shadow Distress Oxides and finally the raindrops with Clear Skies Lunar Paste.

While the Lunar Paste was drying, I stamped flowers and butterflies from the Love Stamp Set and Mom Stamp Set in a light grey, alcohol marker friendly ink. I used my Ohuhu Art Markers for a no-line coloring look. I die cut them all out using the Love and Mom Coordinating die sets.

The sentiment was hot foiled with the Hot Foil Large Hugs and silver foil onto some light purple cardstock. I used the Large Hugs Shadow Die to cut my sentiment. I also did my die cutting from the Umbrella Shaker Dies: the umbrella out of the same light purple cardstock as well as acetate, the umbrella with windows out of purple cardstock, the shaft of the umbrella out of grey cardstock and the handle out of kraft cardstock.

I assembled the shaker with all of the Umbrella Shaker die cut pieces and filled it with the new Flower Garden Mix. The stenciled background is trimmed down to 4×5-¼” and layered onto an A2 piece of purple cardstock attached to a card base. After I laid out my card with the shaker, sentiment and stamped images how I think it would look best, I adhered everything down with wet glue with a few of the flowers popped up with foam adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed this shaker and it gives you some inspiration for an “April showers” kind of card!

Hello and welcome! It’s Leica here on the blog and today I’m sharing the cutest little bags using the new Gift Card Bag Dies. These are fun and easy to make, perfect for any occasion. 

To make the bag, you will need to cut 2 pieces in the cardstock of your choice. Take 1 piece and fold along the perforated line. Take the other piece and cut along the perforated line. Add glue on the tabs of one bag and adhere the other piece. 

For my projects, I used 3 different shades of pink cardstock (from the big box craft store). I then cut 3 of the scallop circles in glitter silver cardstock and 3 of the circles in white cardstock from the Valentine Circle Die. Next, I ink blended scraps of paper with Distress Oxide Inks and used them for the party hats die, which is from the Birthday Mug Addition Dies. I then cut 3 small tags, stamped birthday sentiments, and tied the tags onto the bag with twine. 

Super easy, right?! You can even use patterned paper or you can ink through any of the PPP stencils with the colors of your choice. I’ll definitely be making more of these as I like giving gift cards as gifts to my family and friends.

Hi folks, Kavya here with another fun card using a bunch of products from the latest release! I love the new Birthday Signs. They pair so well with the previously released jungle and animal themed stamp sets. 

I started off by stamping and coloring a bunch of images from Jungle Friends, Birthday Signs and Wish. I then die cut the elements of the tree using cardstock and Nature Essentials Die.

For the trees, I ink blended the edges using coordinating dye ink and splattered some paint to make it more dimensional. Placed all of them on some blue cardstock and I was done!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a card with the new Birthday Mug Addition Dies! If you have the Winter Mug Dies and the Valentine Mug Addition Dies, you’re going to love these new add-ons. But, I also have some inspiration of how you can use these new dies without the mug!

I combined the Birthday Mug Addition Dies with the Build A Gift Dies to create a mini slimline card that does not have any stamping. All of the images were die cut from these two sets – I used different shades of blue and green cardstock and die cut the two gifts, party hat, balloon and birthday wand.

Each item has different pieces that are glued together to create the image and I used my Ohuhu Art Markers to add some color and dimension to each of the images. I also die cut out the sentiment from sparkly silver cardstock. I layered the images and sentiment on my mini slimline, white background and adhered them with wet adhesive as well as foam adhesive so some of the images have some dimension.

The white background was then glued to a blue piece of cardstock that was on my card base of 3×6” when folded. I cannot wait to see all of the birthday mugs with this release that you make but also other creative ways to use the Birthday Mug Addition Dies!

Hello hello! It’s Leica here today with a super sweet birthday shaker card. For my card, I’m using the latest products from the PPP birthday release. Happy 9th birthday, PPP!!!

I first cut a white cardstock down to 4.25” x 5.5” and ink blended the A layer of the Layered Ice Cream Cones Stencils with Gina K Amalgam Ink in Warm Glow. For the B layer, I used Spun Sugar, Tumbled Glass, and Altenew Buttercream ink. Next, I cut the frame from the Fancy Cake Dies in yellow cardstock, glued a sheet of acetate, and added foam tape to make a well for the shaker. Inside the shaker, I added some Funfetti Clay Confetti. I then cut the Large Celebrate Shadow Die in gold cardstock and the shadow outline die in white cardstock. I added white gel highlights. Lastly, I glued the card panel onto an A2 size card base. 

That’s all for my card. I love how easy it is to make a background with the Layered Ice Cream Stencils and the frame from the Fancy Cake Dies is my new favorite frame for shaker cards.
