Cards

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 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.

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!

Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda back sharing a “sweet” Christmas card featuring the adorable Gingerbread Friends Stamp Set and the Layered Gingerbread Stencils from the holiday release! 

I started by stamping the sweet gingerbread people from the Gingerbread Friends Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Copic-friendly black ink. I colored them with Copic markers, added highlights with a white gel pen, shine to the eyes with a black glaze pen, then used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out.

For the background, I blended the Layered Gingerbread Stencils onto an A2 panel of white cardstock using dye inks and blending brushes, then die-cut it with a rectangle die. The largest die in the Stitched Banner Duo Die Set was cut from red cardstock. I splattered the banner and background panel with diluted white bleed-proof ink. Once the ink was dry, the background panel was adhered to an A2 panel of green cardstock and the top of the banner was wrapped with red and white twine and tied into a bow. The banner was adhered with foam squares.

The sentiment, from the Gingerbread Friends Stamp Set, was stamped onto white cardstock with red dye ink and cut out with the Coordinating Die. I also die-cut another layer from black cardstock and layered it behind the stamped one, then popped it up with foam squares, along with the gingerbread people. I added several peppermint candies from the Holiday Gingerbread Clay Confetti Mix to reinforce the “sweet” sentiment.

That does it for me today! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hi Crafty Friends, Debbie here with the super fun Christmas Bucket Additions Dies from the Holiday Release! I love how Pretty Pink Posh Stamp keeps bringing out additional dies to so many of the original products. We all fell in love with the Candy Bucket Dies from a previous release. So could there be anything cuter then having a Rudolph Bucket!?

To start my project off, I made the reindeer shaker with the Christmas Bucket Additions Dies and Candy Bucket Dies, die cutting out the frame with a medium brown card stock five to seven times. Next, I started to assemble the shaker by adhering the frames together with a piece of acetate in between the top two frames. Then I filled the well up with the Gingerbread Shaker Beads and attached the backing from Alabaster card stock. For his face I used googly eyes and a red Pom-Pom rather then the die cut pieces. On the inner portion of the ears, I went through my stash and found the leaf from Spring Foliage die set that fit perfectly.

I used the gift box dies from the Christmas Bucket Additions to fill up the bucket. I die cut out twice the striped gift box from two different colors and cut the stripes apart from one and glue to the other. And with one of polka dot gift box, I used the star sprinkles and adhered over the polka dots. 

With the Christmas Cake Pops dies, I made the adorable reindeer cake pop and the drippy chocolate cake pop. I initially made the three cake pops, but there wasn’t enough room for the Santa hat. So I decided to stick it on top of the drippy chocolate cake pop, adding a white Pom-pom and Stardust Stickle on the trim. 

With the Argyle Pierced Plate, I ran it through with a standard A2 Alasbaster panel. Then I trimmed it down by 1/8 inch on all sides to mat it on the same red card stock used. 

With the Christmas Banner Greetings stamp set, I stamped out in red ink the “Joyful Holiday Wishes” from the set. With the Banner Greetings 1 Dies, I die cut it out and tucked it behind the reindeer’s ear. 

The last thing I did was add Ivory Pearls to the other polka dot box and add white highlights and glossy accents to the nose. 

This is a different color combination for my holiday cards. What do you think? Do you have a favorite color combination for your Christmas cards?

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m thrilled to be back on the blog with this bright Christmas card. When it comes to holiday cards, I love all the styles, whether it be with die cuts only, cute critters or elegant themes, I like them all! For today’s card, I went for an elegant themed card featuring stuff from the Christmas release like the Christmas Bells and previously released items like the Poinsettia Corners. I think that these two are just the perfect match!

As very often, I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in a traditional red, green and gold color palette. The images I colored are from two stamp sets only: the bells and mini clusters on each side at the bottom are from Christmas Bells, and the poinsettias are from Poinsettia Corners. When the coloring was done, I added a dot of glossy accents to each holly berry, and when I color images, I like to use a white gel pen to add details and highlights to each of them, but this time I didn’t feel it, so instead, and once the berries were dry, I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters to the images.

For the background, I cut a large Eyelet rectangle panel out of light kraft cardstock and created a holiday pattern on top using the Layered Winter Foliage stencils along with vintage photo, candied apple and rustic wilderness oxide inks. I added white splatters all over the panel, mixed vintage photo distress spritz with water and added sparkling droplets to my panel. When it was dry, I attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches dark brown panel using 1mm foam tape, and then the whole thing to a matching card base.

I stuck my images to the card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, leaving enough space at the bottom for my sentiment. I white heat embossed “Merry & Bright” from Winter Greetings on the same dark brown cardstock as the back panel, cut it with the matching die, and finally attached it to the card between the small clusters using foam squares again.

And that’s it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today. I’m sharing a fun Christmas card featuring these adorable Gingerbread Friends all wrapped up in a box of calorie-free Christmas cookies.

I stamped the gingerbread images from the Gingerbread Friends stamp set repeatedly onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock (4.25″ x 5.5″) with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the images with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen. I adhered a few of the Holiday Gingerbread Clay Confetti with liquid glue.

COPIC COLORS:
Gingerbread men: E51/53/33/99, R20, R24/29
Hats: R22/24/29/39, C00/1

To create the outer box, I used the second largest die from the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Dies to diecut a window in the center of a piece of pink cardstock (4.25″ x 5.5″). I adhered a piece of clear acetate to the back side of the pink panel.

Next, I used the dies from new Christmas Bell Shaker Dies to diecut two bows and several pine branches out of red and green cardstock. I also used the Simple Strips Dies to diecut two pieces of ribbon out of red cardstock. I adhered the ribbons at an angle to the two corners and the pine branches on top of the ribbon in the upper left corner. The two bows were adhered to each other a little off-centered to create a larger bow and then adhered to the top of the pine branches. I added one of the peppermint clay pieces from the Holiday Gingerbread Clay Confetti to the center of the bow. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Have a Sweet Christmas” sentiment from the Gingerbread Friends Stamp set onto a piece of white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the Gingerbread Friends Coordinating Dies to diecut it out. The sentiment was adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension. 

Finally, I adhered the pink panel to the top of the colored gingerbread panel with foam tape to mimic the look of a box of cookies. The panel was then adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25″ x 5.5″).

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to make and send out boxes of calorie-free gingerbread cookies this holiday season.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Hello everyone, June here! Today I’ll be sharing some more details about this shaker card I made using a couple of the new (and older!) Christmas products. 

I made a cute little Gingerbread Shaker and decorated him using elements from the Christmas Bucket Additions. From that set I used one of the candy canes and the little candy. I added some shading and gel pen lines to give them some extra detail. For the shaker bits I used a combination of the Gingerbread Shaker Beads and a selection I made from the Holiday Gingerbread Clay Confetti.

I cut a panel from the largest of the Stitched Torn Rectangles and blended a background using the Cascading Snowflakes stencil. I used Tattered Rose and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide for this. I also added splatters of Saltwater Taffy and white acrylic paint to give the illusion of even more snowflakes falling from the sky.

I cut out a couple of the Stitched Snowflakes to adhere on my background behind the gingerbread man. I love how subtle they are against the light background, nothing too distracting. To bring in more of the red, I cut a bow from Beautiful Bows and also a wavy banner from Banner Greetings 1 to put my sentiment on. Instead of stamping directly onto the banner, I stamped the ‘merry’ from the Christmas Bells stamp set so I could cut it out and layer it on top. 

And that’s the card! I hope you enjoyed reading about it as much as I enjoyed creating it. See you again soon with another blog post!

Winter greetings, friends! Christina here to share a unique way to use the new Winter Tags from the latest release. There are endless crafty possibilities for these tags – you can stamp the images like I did, you could heat-emboss them on colored cardstock, or you could just use the dies to create your own tags. And they are perfect for adding a small homemade touch to your holiday gifts. Another way to use these tags is to create a festive holiday greeting card like I did here.

Winter Tags Stamp Set
Winter Tags Coordinating Dies
Argyle Pierced Plate
Banner Greetings 1 Dies
Christmas Banner Greetings Stamp Set
Christmas Holder Additions Dies – snowflakes
Winter Wonderland Clay Confetti

I started by stamping the images on white cardstock and then colored them with Copic markers. You can use any medium to color these images, and I think colored pencil would be beautiful for this project. Here is the Copic coloring guide:

Teals BG 34, G16
Blues B45, B37
Background E33
Snowman C0, C1, YR15, YR24, R00
Hat W3, W5, N5

Once the images were colored, I die-cut them with the coordinating dies, adding holes to just three of the tags before adding some fun details to the images. I used a Copic Multi-liner to add a stitching detail to each tag and a white gel pen to add some snowy details to the trees and the snowman. I also used a glitter pen to add a sparkly detail to the mittens and the night sky. To finish up the tags, I threaded some green and white cotton twine through the tops.

Next, I die-cut the Argyle Pierced Plate from Juniper cardstock for the background and then attached the tags to the pierced panel using either foam tape or glue. Then I trimmed the twine and tacked each one down with a bit of glue. 

I thought this winter card needed even more snowy elements, so I added a flurry of die-cut snowflakes, tucking some under the tags and placing some right on top with the help of thin foam strips. And lastly, I added the stamped and die-cut Banner Sentiment along with just a few more snowflakes from the Winter Wonderland Mix. 

Thank you so much for checking out one of the many ways you can use these fun and festive Winter Tags! Happy crafting!

 Hello Crafty Friends! Arsenia here, ready to sprinkle some crafty cheer as we kick off the last day of our Instagram Hop! This release is bursting with all the cozy winter vibes — and oh my goodness, do we have the cutest penguins waddling their way into your hearts! 

Today’s project stars the brand new Penguin Shaker Die, and yes friends… it’s shaker time! My color palette? A dreamy trio of plum-perfect purples — simple, elegant, and a little unexpected for the season (but totally fabulous, trust me).

First up, I created a whimsical winter background using the new Snowflake Background Stencil paired with the new Twinkle Stencil. With three shades of plum and a flurry of white paint splatters, the background came alive with frosty dimension. To add a little woodland wonder, I tucked in some delicate new Birch Tree Dies, and for that polished, finished edge — my trusty Fancy Cake Dies made an appearance (it’s one of my most-loved crafty tools!).

Now for the star of the show — the Penguin Shaker! I die-cut all the pieces, gave the beak and feet a soft touch of ink blending, and filled the shaker belly with the new Black Tie Shaker Beads (snow much fun!). Once assembled, my dapper little penguin got dressed up with googly eyes and a cozy scarf from the new Penguin Mugs Dies set — complete with white gel pen polka dots and a sweet plum heart.

For the sentiment, I reached for the new Let It Snow stamp Set with coordinating dies!  To finish everything off, I added crystal accents to the birch trees and a single stitched snowflake floating above our penguin friend.

And just like that — ta-da! — card complete! It’s a touch unexpected for the holidays, but I absolutely adore how the purples make this chilly scene feel warm and whimsical.

Thank you snow much for stopping by!  I hope you’re loving this release as much as I am. Be sure to hop over to Instagram to join in the fun, see all the amazing inspiration, and celebrate with us! 

Hi crafty friends! I’m Michelle Woerner and I am super excited to be a guest designer with Pretty Pink Posh and help celebrate the November Winter Release! Today I’m sharing a serene layered winter trees card using several of the new release sets- the Snowy Hills Borders, Winter Trees and Twinkle stencil.

To start my card, I die cut two shades of blue, pale gray and white cardstock with the Snowy Hills Border die set. Once I had my cut pieces, I laid them out and arranged them into a snowy hills layout that I liked. I then used the Twinkle stencil with white paste on the blue pieces adding pretty texture. And for some extra sparkle, I used Stardust Stickles on the top of the white snowy hills.

Designer tip: Designers often follow the Rule of Threes, but card designs look equally as good with any odd number. For my card, I used 4 trees and a sentiment, making a cluster of 5 elements.

To make the trees, I used the Winter Trees die set and cut them from the darker blue cardstock. I arranged the trees in the snowy hills, some of the trunks tucked behind the snowy hills and some in front to add dimension. To add a small pop of color, I added berry color gems to the trees and by the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Let It Snow stamp set and cut with the coordinating die set.

Thank you for stopping by and be sure to check back for more Winter Release inspiration!
