Cards

Debbie here with the new adorable Easter Bucket Additions from the Easter Release. How cute is all the bucket additions!? I love them all and had so much fun making this 5 X 7 card in pastel colors!

So let’s get started with the back ground panel with the Line Burst Stencil I added a pearl paste on a pale yellow card stock. Once it was dry I trimmed it down to 4 3/4 X 6 3/4 inches. 

Next I built my bucket from the Candy Bucket die set, added some pink cheeks and the bunny face from the Easter Bucket Additions. I then die cut out the eggs, bows, and carrots from the Easter Bucket Additions and Easter Holder Additions. 

Next up I pulled out the previously released Big Easter Cupcake for the Bunny bum! Instead of card stock for the tail I used a white Pom-pom, so cute! And for the tulips and butterflies I used the Spring Mug Additions Die Set.

Then with the Grass Border die, I die cut out from the mint green card stock to ground the images. Then I stamped out the sentiment for the Easter Greetings stamp set and die cut out with the coordinating dies. 

Next was to embellish with the Spring Flowers Clay Confetti Mix, in the centers of the flowers and in the lines of the butterflies I used the Spring Pastel & Sugar Pop Mix. Last thing was to add some Glossy Accents to the nose for the shine!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!                        

Hi Friends! Are you ready to party?! Emily here with you today sharing two ways to create fun present toppers using the Fringe Present Die. 

The sky’s the limit with the color combinations you can create with the Fringe Present Die but I love to rainbow everything so I went with a bright and cheerful rainbow color palette. 

I die cut all the fringe pieces in corresponding rainbow order with the smallest fringe die for the top of the rainbow (pink or red) and largest fringe die for the bottom of the rainbow (blue or purple). Then I stacked all the fringe layers using liquid adhesive to create both a six and five layer rainbow present. After adhering all the layers together, I added white paint platters for extra dimension, the present top and a bow.

To create the tag, I used a hole punch to create a hole to the center of bow and added a thin ribbon tie. I finished the tag with a black and white embossed Happy Birthday sentiment from the Alphabet Candles stamp set. Wouldn’t this be fun to create fringe present tags in color combinations that match your wrapping paper?!

For the small gift-size card, I added an enamel dot to the center of the bow and adhered a vellum and silver glitter Let’s Party Die Cut. 

So there we are friends, two present toppers (tag and gift-sized card) using the Fringe Present Die. Thanks for stopping and Big Paper Hugs!

Hello Crafty Peeps, it’s Jill! I think we can just about officially say Happy Spring and what a perfect way to celebrate with this Easter Release from Pretty Pink Posh!

Today, I wanted to share this oh-so-cute-bunny and his giant carrot! This sweet bunny is made from using the Bunny Holder and he is holding the Carrot Shaker. I had to give him giant googly eyes to accentuate all this spring fun! I keep thinking how sweet this would be to receive in the mail and I can’t wait to mail it out myself!

I made the bunny from kraft cardstock and added all his little details from the Bunny Holder die set. I made a bunch of giant carrots with the Carrot Shaker in different colors, but in the end, I really liked the traditional orange one the best.

This sweet sentiment is from the Upright Greetings: Easter set. I love these vertical sentiments because they are unique in their layout and have a variety of sentiments that are versatile for different designs. The grass my bunny is standing on is created with the Grass Border Die. I like to use two different cardstock shades to layer. For additional depth and texture, you can blend on some inks to all these die cut pieces. I opted to just shade a few pieces, keeping everything else crisp and clean.

I created this background using the new Watercolor Rectangle Stencil along with the previously released Diamond Grid, echoing the idea of a woven basket. Eeeeep! I think he is just the cutest!

I hope you yourself enjoy creating Spring cards with this New Release from Pretty Pink Posh. Maybe you too are mailing them out this season–either just to celebrate the fresh air or the Easter Holiday!

Thank you for joining me here today and enjoy the sunshine in your part of the bunny patch!

Hi crafty friends! Sophie here sharing a fun card I made featuring the new Easter Bucket Additions dies. For this card I actually show how you can use small elements from a large die set to create a fun and easy card by just repeating it in a pattern/grid format. Lets dive in! 

For this card I thought it would be fun to feature a rainbow of eggs cut from the 3 egg dies from this set. I used up some scrap cardstock pieces from my stash for the colors. Because there are 3 different egg dies with various patterns in this set it actually took no time at all to die cut 9 eggs! 

Arranging dies in a grid is always a go-to for me when I feel like I am in a creative slump. I always love how these type of cards turn out and they are so simple! 

For the greeting I stamped and die cut one this one from the new Easter Greetings set. I think Pretty Pink Posh always has the best stamp/die greeting combos out there! I love the mix of block and scripty fonts here. 

I hope you found this project inspiring!

Hello Everyone! Welcome to the last day of Easter Theme Week! It is Zsofi here today with a fun scene card where I mixed the new release with older favourites of mine.

First stamped and coloured the images from the Easter Friends stamp set. I love this set for Easter cards, the kids are adorable! I used Copic markers to add colour and then cut everything out with their coordinating dies.

Then I worked on the background: I did some ink blending on Bristol Smooth cardstock with Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide inks through the new Watercolour Rectangle Mask stencil. When I was happy with the blending, I spritzed it with a clear shimmer mist for a subtle sparkle. I also added a few drops of water which I dabbed off with a paper towel to remove some of the ink and get more texture. 

To set the scene I used the Grass Border die to cut two strips of light pink cardstock. I added a bit of shading to the edges with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide, and assembled the scene. To make it more dimensional, I made sure to adhere the die cut images in between two layers of grass.

For the sentiment I chose the Easter Wishes Shadow die set and cut the words from Lilac glitter cardstock and the shadow from vellum. I love this tone-on-tone look with the purple background. 

As a finishing touch I used a black glaze pen on the eyes and clear shimmer on the eggs. I also added glossy accents to the bow and to the patterns on the Easter eggs.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon, Zsofi

Hi Friends, Jeanne here !  I’m so excited to be sharing a card today during Easter Theme Week!  My card features both new and preexisting product to show you how well they work together! 

I always arrange images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base. This allows me to arrange the different elements before I commit and adhere them in place. I can pick up the entire arrangement and layer it over different backgrounds to get a preview of the finished design too! 

I created a garden scene using Tulips on a Distress Ink background. They make the perfect place to hide the Build An Egg decorated eggs for the hunt! 

I tucked a few Bunny Friends around the eggs and added a sweet sentiment from the new Easter Greetings stamp set! The finishing touch is always a sprinkle of something sparkly! Colorful jewels always hit the spot! 

I hope I made you smile! Have a great day!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I’m so glad to be back with this new Easter card featuring a cute bunny in a hot air carrot balloon I built using a large variety of dies from different sets. I’m happy when I can mix and match my sets!

I started off with the card base and cut a large Slimline Peekaboo Windows panel out of kraft cardstock. I created a cloud background using one of the Spooky Sky stencils along with white pigment ink, and added a little bit of vintage photo distress ink to the edges. I mixed some of that same ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. I cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches panel out of brown woodgrain cardstock, added vintage photo distress ink to the edges, attached that panel to a card base, and then my cloudy kraft panel on top using liquid glue.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock and pattern papers. I added a bit of matching distress ink to each colored cardstock piece and then white splatters to all the elements, and once everything was dry, I attached them all to my panel using foam squares mostly to add dimension to my scene, as well as liquid glue at some places.

As always, here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Carrot Shaker – largest carrot • Fall Basket – basket • Party Balloons – strings • Bunny Holder – bunny • Valentine Holder Additions – heart cheeks • Easter Mug Additions – eyebrows, bow (on the bunny), large carrots • Easter Bucket Additions – large bow, daisies, medium carrots • Big Easter Cupcake – small carrots, bunny paws • Beautiful Bows – medium bows • Easter Holder Additions – small bows.

I applied glossy accents to the bunny’s nose, gave him a pair of wiggly eyes, and added a heart in the center of each bow from the Valentine Hearts clay confetti mix and Colorful Hearts clay confetti mix. For my greetings, I white heat embossed “Hoppy Easter” from Easter Greetings on pink cardstock and cut it using the matching die. I also white heat embossed “Somebunny loves you” from Sentiment Strips: Easter on the same pink cardstock and trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die. I applied matching distress ink to the edges of both greetings, and finally attached them to my card using foam squares.

And that’s it! I hope that this lovely Easter card inspires you to try and see further than the typical use of a die set. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Hi friends! It’s Christina and today I’m sharing some springtime inspiration for Easter Theme Week here at PPP! I used the Spring Chicks stamp set to create an adorable little scene against the new Watercolor Oval Stencil. I had so much fun creating this card and I can’t wait to share all the details with you. Let’s get started!

Easter Greetings Stamp Set – sentiment & single tulip

Easter Icons Stamp Set – butterfly

Love Stamp Set Coordinating Dies

My first step was to create the background on an A2 white cardstock panel. I used the Watercolor Oval Stencil and the Pawsitively Saturated Inks listed above to ink blend a soft, watery backdrop for the stamped images. After stenciling, I splattered it with plain water to add a watery texture to the ink blending. Then I added a little puddle of water using the stamp in the Spring Chicks set, stamping it with the Seafoam ink color and then using a Copic marker to fill it in.

Next, I stamped the images for my scene and colored them with Copic markers. Then I die cut them with the coordinating dies and stacked plain die cuts behind the die cut images to give them more substance and stability. 

Using the stamped and die cut images, I built the scene on the stenciled background panel using liquid adhesive, thin foam squares, and regular foam squares. I layered the images and used varying heights of adhesive to give the scene plenty of dimension and perspective. The last steps were to add a greeting and white gel pen highlights. I heat embossed the greeting with white embossing powder on white cardstock, die cut it with the coordinating die, and then ink blended it just like the stenciled background before attaching it to the card. 

And that finishes up this adorable springtime scene featuring the Spring Chicks stamp set.

You’ll find inspiration all week on the PPP blog that will be sure to inspire your Easter and spring-themed craft projects. See you soon!
