Hi friends, it’s Carly! I’m excited to share a project using the brand new winter release.
This project is part of our November Video Hop! Check the description in the video for links to the next stop so you can keep hopping along for tons of holiday inspiration.
Shaker cards are my absolute favorite type of card to make and sometimes a little shaker window is all you need, like a little whipped cream *wink wink*
The November 2025 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post yesterday, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Mindy has that for you today!
To start off with my card today, I took a standard A2 panel and the Layered Penguins Stencil onto a grip mat and ink blended on dye inks.
Next, with the Notched Rectangles Dies I die cut out with the two largest dies. The largest die from a matching teal card stock to the background panel. And the other with a white card stock to adhered them together to give a nice frame for the penguin. And attached to the Penguin panel background with liquid glue.
After I die cut out the Penguin Holder, he needed the Santa hat from the set. I did an ink blend with dye ink on the edge for dimension, and a glitter brim on the hat. I decide to have the Penguin holding a snowflake. So I die cut out a both of the snowflakes from the Christmas Holder Additions Dies. I layered up the snowflakes with glitter card stock and teal by off setting them a bit and attached with liquid glue. But I still needed one more smaller snowflake, using the one in the Christmas Bucket Additions Dies.
For my sentiment, I went with the Let it Snow stamp set. I stamped and white heat embossed the “Snow” and the “Much Fun”. I then die cut the “Snow” with the coordinating dies. For the “Much Fun” I used the Sentiment Strips Dies to cut it out.
The final touch was to added Sea Foam Pearls to the center of the snowflakes. Then attached the panel to the card base and added Glossy Accent to the beak of the penguin!
Welcome to the last day of sneak peeks of our November 6th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the new stamps sets, along with the Igoo Shaker and Notched Rectangles die sets.
Hello, my crafty friends! Arsenia here, welcoming you to Day 3 of our cozy November Release Sneak Peeks! Today’s post is bursting with frosty charm, glittery snowbanks, and penguin-sized cuteness.
This release is absolutely snow-laden with possibilities — penguins galore, twinkling trees, icy hills, and a dash of holiday magic. I whipped up two cards, a set of tags, and even a little tag holder box (because what’s winter without a few surprises?). My color palette? Classic holiday red, frosty blues, and just a wink of green — simple, cozy, and perfectly festive. Let’s slide right in!
Card One: Shake, Sparkle, and Let It Snow!
For my first frosty creation, I reached for the new Igloo Shaker Die, Penguin Friends stamp set (with coordinating dies), Let It Snow stamps, and Winter Tags — a perfect combo for a snow-filled celebration!
I started by ink-blending panels with the new Snowflake Background Stencil, using three shades of icy blue for a chilly ombré effect. Then I added a dark, twinkling layer using the new Twinkle Stencil — instant winter magic! These panels became the frosty base for all my projects today (yes, I made four — I couldn’t stop!).
Next up, the Igloo Shaker — cut from soft blue cardstock and gently ink-blended for frosty depth. I filled it with a storm of clear sequins and snowflake confetti, then layered three snowy hills using the new Snowy Hills Borders — two white and one glittery, because sparkle is always a good idea.
A charming winter tree (from the new Winter Trees Die Set) stood tall in the background, and of course, the star of the show — a cheerful little penguin from the Penguin Friends stamp set, all decked out with a touch of glitter on his hat!
For the sentiment, I white-embossed Winter Greetings onto red cardstock from the new Let it Snow Stamp set with coordinating dies. My sub sentiment is paired with the word snow from the Winter Tags set. A sprinkle of red hearts (thank you, Build A Heart Dies) finished it off perfectly. And just like that — a snowy, sparkly shaker card was born!
Card Two: Tags, Twinkles, and a Touch of Fun
For my next card, I used one of my stenciled panels (a blend of Snowflake Background and Twinkle Stencil). I trimmed it to size and mounted it on a blue card base.
Then came the stars of the show — three adorable images from the Winter Tags stamp set, colored up with my trusty OLO markers. To add a little dimension, I framed the scene using the new Notched Rectangles Dies — one crisp white frame and one in festive red, layered just slightly off-center.
A dainty bow (from the beloved Beautiful Bows Die Set) and a sprinkle of hearts from Build a Heart dies brought everything together. And because it wouldn’t be a proper winter card without it — I added white splatters for that freshly fallen snow look. Ta-da! You’d think tags belong on gifts, but oh no — they make stunning cards too!
Tags & Holder Box: Frosty Favors and Tiny Treasures
Now for the grand finale — the tags and tag holder box! Using my earlier stenciled panels, I cut out three tags with the new Winter Tags Dies. Each tag got its own little snowy tree (from the Winter Trees Die set), a heartfelt sentiment from Christmas Banner Greetings, and a red heart using the Build A Heart Dies. Add a flurry of white splatters and voilà — winter perfection!
For a finishing touch, I created a mini box using the Notched Rectangles Dies to hold my tags. The notched edges act like adorable little “snowshoe feet,” making the box extra charming. Imagine these at your holiday table — tiny tag holders filled with chocolates or notes of gratitude. The possibilities are truly endless!
For my final trio of tags using the Notched Rectangles Dies as tags, I switched things up — one with a snowy tree from Winter Trees Die set, one featuring our darling penguin friend from Penguin Friends Stamp set, and one with a shimmering snowflake from the Stitched Snowflake Dies.
Be sure to check out the incredible inspiration from the rest of the design team below — and remember, there’s snow limit to what you can create!
Thank you so much for joining us for the sneak peeks! I hope your imagination is snowballing with ideas. We’ll be back tomorrow with the full picture reveal, so you can start to put together your wish lists!
It’s Day 2 of sneak peeks for our November 6th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the Penguin Holder, Snowy Hills Borders, Winter Greetings Shadow and Winter Trees die sets.
Hello, friends! Christina here to share some snowy sneak peeks of the upcoming winter release. For inspiration, I created a couple of bigger A6 cards featuring the adorable new Penguin Holder. This frosty friend is the latest addition to the popular critter holder collection and can hold any of the winter- or Christmas-themed accessories for creating festive wintertime cards! Let’s get started!
Both of my cards are 4.5 x 6.25 inches, or A6 size, so I would have a little more space to build my snowy scenes. My first card is a festive Christmas card that I started by stenciling the new Snowflake Background Stencil on white cardstock with a minty green ink. Then, to create a snowy winter forest, I layered on some snow drifts using the Snowy Hills Borders and a line of Winter Trees. I lightly inked along the edges of the snowy hills first with more of the mint green ink to give them a cool, frosty look. And for the Winter Trees,Iinked them with mint green and teal inks before adding them to my scene.
With the background complete, I die-cut and inked the pieces for the Penguin Holder before assembling him and adding him to my scene. I added Onyx Pearls for his eyes and then accessorized this frosty friend with a Santa hat and a gift, both included in the die set. Finally, I surrounded him with piles of gifts, some of them from the Christmas Holder Additions set, that I die-cut from both patterned paper and regular cardstocks.
The last steps were to add the text from the Large Merry Shadow die set and a flurry of white clay snowflakes from the new Winter WonderlandMix.
My second card is a winter-themed card with an icy landscape that is the perfect backdrop for the Penguin Holder. I started by die-cutting three sections for the background using the Snowy Hills Borders. The top snowy section is white cardstock that I stenciled using the Cascading Snowflakes Stenciland an icy blue ink.I also added some softly blended blue areas for a frosty look. The next section is a thin icy border that I created by simply blending in more of the blue ink, making it darker in some areas and lighter in others along the border, and then adding white lines with a white paint pen. So easy! The last section is cool icy water for the fish. I blended the same blue across the entire piece before spattering it with plain water and a little Frozen Fog Mica Stain. To finish up the icy landscape, I die-cut a few Winter Trees from some glittery silver cardstock and attached them to the top snowy section of the background.
With the background complete, I moved on to die-cutting and inking the pieces for the Penguin Holder. I assembled the pieces and then accessorized this chilly chap with the cutest earmuffs, which are from the Christmas Holder Additions set, and a scarf to bundle up in that I pulled from the new Penguin Mugs Die Set. I again added Onyx Pearlsfor his eyes and gave him some rosy cheeks before adding him to my scene.
To finish things up, I die-cut multiple fish from the Cat Holder dieset and ink blended them with two icy blue colors before adding eyes with a black glaze pen and highlights with a white gel pen. I gave one to the penguin to hold and added the rest to the icy waters. Then I added a sentiment from the new Let it Snowstamp set that has coordinating dies and, lastly, added a flurry of white clay snowflakes from the Winter WonderlandMix.

We hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek. We will see you again tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks and inpiration!
Welcome as we kick off the first day of our November 6th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the Penguin Mugs, Penguin Shaker, Birch Trees and Let It Snow Shadow die sets.
Hi crafty friends! Emily Mydlowski here with you today to sharing winter wonderland sneak peeks using a variety of new dies from the upcoming winter release.
Let it Snow Penguin Mugs
When I first saw the Penguin Mugs, I knew I wanted to have a cute couple/set of penguin mugs so I went with an A7-sized card design. To my happy surprise the Black & White cardstock Let It Snow Shadow sentiment fit perfectly across the A7 panel!
To create the penguins, I used the Penguin Mugs Die Set to cut all the pieces from colored cardstock. Black for the mugs, white for the penguin body, marshmallows & whipped cream, orange for the beak and feet and Teal & Pink for the scarves. I used Onyx Pearls for the eyes.
For the northern lights background, I matched the scarf colors and ink-blended the top and bottom of an A7 white cardstock panel in pink and teal dye inks creating with pretty blended purple center. After adding the sentiment and penguins to the northern lights background, I added a glitter cardstock snowflake with a clay heart between the penguins and Winter Wonderland Clay Confetti snowflakes.
Penguin Shaker
Oh my cuteness, the Penguin Shaker is absolutely adorable—especially when you add a few holiday accessories like Santa’s Hat (Penguin Holder Sneak) & Scarf from Penguin Mugs plus googly eyes. For the shaker bits, I used the Black Tie Shaker Beads.
I used the Snowflake Background stencil to create the background with black ink on white cardstock. Then I layered the Penguin to a Notched Rectangle. To finish the card, I added the Christmas Sentiment Strip and adhered the decorated panel to a bright red cardbase.
Winterscape Let it Snow & Winter Trees
This was a quick and easy card with a few simple elements but looks so elegant and pretty. I love the way white Birch Trees glow against a dark snowy sky turning the cold into something magical.
To create the magical winter card design, I added white Winter Tree die cuts to a dark blue & teal ink-blended panel with white ink splatters for the snow. Then I added a sparkly silver glitter cardstock & white Let It Snow Shadow die cut sentiment.
Here’s some more inspration using these products from the team!
Thanks for stopping by for the first day of sneak peeks. We’ll see you again tomorrow!
I love all of the Pretty Posh Shaker dies for making shakers but they are also awesome just for the negative die cut space! They make some of the best windows!
I used the base layers from the Candy Cane Shakers to create windows and then created an acetate pocket to fit behind it that can hold gift cards and money. I love the result! It feels like such a fun way to customize a gift that could feel impersonal. Just think of the possibilities for holiday shapes like this or this or this!
I hope these projects and video inspired you this holiday season.
Happy Halloween! It is Zsofi here today with an easy, almost one layer Halloween card using layering stencils. I am a huge fan of these, because they are very versatile and open doors for many techniques. Let me guide you through the process of how I made this card.
First I chose a piece of light grey cardstock and a sticky mat. It helps tremendously with keeping stencils in place. I placed the first layer of the Layered Halloween Wreath stencil over it and used a couple of Distress Oxides and white pigment ink with a small blending brush to add colour. After removing the stencil, I heat set the ink with a heat gun, then I repeated the process with the next two layers. The small brush allows you to add different colours to each critter, it makes these stencils even more versatile!
When it was all done, I used the largest Stitched Torn Rectangle die to cut the panel down. All I needed was a sentiment in the middle of the wreath: the Halloween Greetings with their handwritten style were a perfect choice. To make it more playful I added a small spider and a bat from the stamp set, and quickly coloured them with my Copic markers.
It was time for the finishing touches: I added white, gold and metallic black watercolour splatters all over the panel. Then I used a clear simmer pen on the candy corns and jelly beans and covered them with a thin layer of glossy accents. And lastly, I used a black glaze pen on the jack-o-lanterns and added eyes to all spiders and bats to make the design even cuter.
I love that with these little tricks, we can elevate our simplest card designs too!
I hope you liked this card idea and got inspired using your layering stencils with an extra twist. I cannot wait to see your beautiful creations, make sure to share them in our Facebook group! Have fun tonight and don’t forget, no tricks, just treats!
Hello, friends! Justin here, and today, I am so excited to share some candy-cane-sweet inspiration using some new holiday products! One of the things that I love most about Pretty Pink Posh products is how easy it is to mix and match various products to make beautiful creations! For this card, I combined the Candy Cane Shaker Dieswith elements from the from the Christmas Bell Shaker Dies to create a festive project.
This card was really pretty easy to put together, which makes me love it even more! The Candy Cane Shaker Diesare super versatile, where you can use them either as a shaker element. I decided to use white and red paper to create my single candy cane. I also thought it would be fun to add some details to my candy cane, so I used the holly leaves and bow shapes from the Christmas Bell Shaker Dies. I used a little bit of ink blending to make these embellishments have some shading details.
My background was really quite fun to make as well. I had green cardstock in my stash that I die cut the Argyle Pierced Plate Die from, and ink blended the edges with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink. I splattered excess Lucky Clover ink on the panel as well. In opposite corners, I adhered a few pine branches with berries that I had die cut from the Christmas Bell Shaker Dies.
One of the last elements that I worked on was the sentiment. I used the Large Merry Shadow Dies and die cut the word Merry 3 times from white cardstock, and “stacked them” (adhered each sentiment on top of each other to create dimension). I then adhered the Merry sentiment to the shadow die cut, which I cut from dark green cardstock.
Once I adhered all my elements into place, I also used the Holly Berries Clay Slicesto add some embellishment to my card.
Thank you so very much for stopping by the Pretty Pink Posh Blog today! I can’t wait to see what holiday projects you create next!
Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m super happy to be back with this bright and cheerful holiday card featuring a mix & match of items from the holiday release and “older” ones, including the new Gingerbread Shaker, which is so amazing! I’m a big fan of the Pretty Pink Posh Shaker Collection, so I had to feature this cute little guy on one of my projects.
And speaking of which, I started off by building my Gingerbread Shaker following those steps: 1. I cut a Gingerbread Shaker frame out of dark kraft cardstock, applied gathered twigs distress ink on the edges, mixed that same ink with water, added brown splatters on my gingerbread frame, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink, 2. I cut a whole Gingerbread Shaker panel out of acetate, and stuck that panel at the back of the brown frame using liquid glue, 3. Still at the back of the frame, I attached foam strips all along the edges of my Gingerbread Shaker frame, bending and curving the strips to follow the shape of my die cut piece, 4. I poured a whole lot of Gingerbread shaker beads on the acetate, 5. I cut a whole Gingerbread Shaker panel out of a beige gingham pattern paper, added brown and white splatters to it, and when dry, attached it to the foam strips to close my Gingerbread Shaker, 6. I cut the icing decorative pieces out of white cardstock, added liquid stardust splatters to them, stuck them on my shaker with liquid glue, and applied glossy accents to those white pieces to make them shine.
Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of white cardstock, colored cardstock and pattern paper, and as always, here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Christmas Bucket Additions – gummies, candy canes, peppermint candies • Valentine Holder Additions – heart cheeks, bow • Big Valentine Cupcake – cupcake wrap, cupcake, whipped cream • Candy Treats – cookies.
To the white pieces I added liquid stardust splatters, to the pattern paper pieces I added white splatters, and to the colored cardstock pieces I applied matching distress ink to the edges, added white splatters and matching distress ink splatters. To some of them, such as the gummies, heart cheeks and candies, I added liquid stardust splatters, and just like the icing details on my Gingerbread Shaker, I applied glossy accents to the white swirling details on the cookies.
Next I cut a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of light kraft cardstock, run it through my die cutting machine along with the Argyle Pierced Plate die to give my panel a nice texture, and then used the Candy Cane Stripes stencil to add a pretty pattern, lining up with the dots created by the Argyle Pierced Plate. In one way I applied white pigment ink, and in the other way I applied candied apple oxide ink. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over my panel, I did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles, and then with lumberjack plaid oxide for contrast. When it was dry, I attached my panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light pink panel, and then to a white card base.
I assembled and attached all my elements on my card, starting with the Gingerbread Shaker, next the cupcake and then all the small decorative pieces. I gave my cute little guy a pair of wiggly eyes and three Onyx Pearls as buttons, I picked some peppermint confetti from the Holiday Gingerbread Mix, attached one on the bow and one on each peppermint candy using liquid glue, and just like the other projects I created with the September 2025 release, I applied opaque white grit paste here and there for a lovely frosty look.
I white heat embossed “Have a sweet Christmas” from Gingerbread Friends on light pink cardstock, cut it with the matching die and finally attached my sentiment right on the poinsettia cupcake wrap using foam squares. And that’s it!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
Hi crafty friends! Debbie here with the Christmas Train Stamp set from the new holiday release! All the new stamp sets, dies and stencils are so fantastic! The whole release is packed with so cuteness and this set is definitely top of the list! I knew that I wanted to color it up right away!
I have been on the teal, red and pink color combination train for this whole release. So why stop now!
For most of my cards I like to start off with my background panel. So I started off with the previously released Pierced Snowflakes Plate,and ran it through with a teal card stock. Using a dark teal ink to blend on the edges to give a frame look to draw the eye into. Then splattered on some white for the extra snowy effect. Set it to the side to dry.
Once the coloring was done I used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out. Adding white highlights and foam squares to the back of the bigger images. The smaller images were tucked into the cart and attached on some of the images with liquid glue.
Then with the Large Merry Shadow Die, I die cut it out of the teal and white cardstock. To complete my sentiment, I stamped and white heat embossed the “Christmas” from the Christmas Bells stamp seton to a red card stock popping it up with foam for dimension. With the Sentiments Strips Die to trim it out and also adding foam squares to the back of the strip.
When I went to arrange this design, I knew I wanted it to look as though the train was climbing a hill by going back and forth up the mountain, so the train and tracks were placed at an angle. I also kept in mind to save an area for the large Merry word on the bottom of the card. It was a perfect grounding for the track!
I mentioned my color combo for Christmas, do you have a favorite combination? Only two more months until Christmas and I can’t wait to send out all my beautiful cards!
