Cards

Hello, Gemma here today with a Halloween pumpkin card. When I saw the new Grateful Shaker die, I thought it would work really well as a window scene for a Halloween card.

All this week, save 15% on items in our Halloween section!

I began by die cutting the pumpkin from orange card. Although the die cuts with the word across it, it’s very easy to snip this away. I love this option as it makes it more versatile.

Next, I die cut the pumpkin again, this time from a piece of dark grey card, cut to the same size as my card base.

On this piece of card, I used the new Stars stencil and WOW Silver Pearl embossing powder to add a pattern of stars on the panel. I didn’t cover the whole panel with stars and allowed some of the pattern to fade off at the edges. I also embossed, in white, a greeting from the new Boo stamp set.

On my card base, I added a blend of distress oxide inks in twisted citron, mowed lawn and pine needles. I kept the lightest colour in the centre to get a glow effect and flicked the ink with water for droplet details.

To build my scene, I die cut the new Spooky Fence die from black card, adhering it to my card base. I added the dark grey embossed panel on top, then the orange pumpkin die cut in the window space on the card I coloured some images from the new Boo stamp set, and also some previously released sets – Halloween Pals and Pumpkin Patch Critters.

I tucked the cat and pumpkin into the window scene, using some foam tape under the cat. I then added a ghost and bat to finish my spooky cute scene.

I hope you were inspired to think outside of shakers when using the shaker dies- the shapes are so fun and versatile. Join us tomorrow for a new day of Halloween inspiration!

Hi crafters! Adelle here. It’s the close of Fall Theme Week from Pretty Pink Posh and today I’m featuring a couple of stamp sets from both current and past releases. I hope you’ve taken advantage of the 15% off in the Fall Section of the Pretty Pink Posh store- TODAY is the last day to save!

For this card I used the Pumpkin Patch Critters, Fall Borders, and Fall Signs stamp sets. I began by cutting masks for the stamps I was using from the Fall Signs and Pumpkin Patch Critters sets. On a sheet of ivory cardstock I stamped with the leaves border from the Fall Borders stamp set. 

On ivory cardstock, I stamped the scarecrow and some pumpkins and colored with Copic markers. I then reapplied the masks and used Scattered Straw and Brushed Corduroy Distress Inks to create a smooth blend behind the scene. 

Copics: YG67, YG63, YG61. Y38, Y19, Y18, Y15. YR15, YR68. R46, R39, R35. E29, E27, E25, E23, E21. E35, E33, E31. 

After coloring the leaves and scene, I used a border from the Stitched Borders 2 die set to size down the colored panel. I glued the 2 leaf panels to a card base and used thin foam to pop up the colored scene. I finalized my project by embellishing with Metallic Gold Jewels. 

Thanks for stopping by and I cannot wait to see what you create for your fall scenes! Visit us tomorrow for a brand new week of inspiration for your Halloween projects!

Hi Pretty Pink Posh friends! Suzy here and today I have a card to share with you for Fall Week using several of the newest Fall products. I’ve combined the Fall Borders Stamp Set with the Fall Signs Stamp Set. 

Don’t forget: save 15% on all the items in our Fall section during this theme week!

I started my card with a Storybook Die (any of them work). I die-cut it and then cut the inside pieces out so I had a stitched square opening for the front of my card. This is a great way to use your Storybook dies in another way! I used blue Distress Ink over white cardstock for the area behind the opening. I then attached my card front to an orange card base.

Next, I stamped all of the images from both stamp sets on white cardstock using a light tan ink for no-line coloring. I colored in all of my images with colored pencils (my favorite coloring medium).

I embossed the greetings in the stamp set on the two signs using an Antique Gold embossing powder. I then attached them to the front of the card using foam tape behind the scarecrow. I cut two of the pumpkins off the border so it fit perfectly underneath the opening. I added some Sea Glass Jewels around the sky to finish the card. 

Thanks so much for visiting today and I hope you are enjoying all this inspiration during Fall week. I bet you are also enjoying the beautiful leaves and weather! Happy creating friends!

Hi, everyone! It’s Marge here with you for the Day 5 of Fall Theme Week. Today I’m going to share a Pop Up Standing Card with a happy thanksgiving scene with a step-by-step tutorial.

Save 15% on all the items in our Fall section during this theme week!

<Inside> 
I started by stamping and coloring various images from Thanksgiving Scene, Bear Friends, Fall Borders, and Giving Thanks set. I used Copic Markers in coloring them, and then I cut them all using Bear Friends Dies, Giving Thanks Dies, and Scan N Cut. To make a pop-up area inside, please follow the introductions below.

1) Cut Bristol Paper into 4.25 x 5.5 for a background wall, add patterns using Leaves Stencil and distress oxide inks: Peeled Paint, Crushed Olive, Wild Honey, and Tea Dye. Splatter with bronze metallic ink. Adhere the panel onto the inner wall of the A2 card base. 

2) Cut another piece of Bristol Paper into 5×5.5inch, add patterns using Wafers Stencil. Do the same stenciling three times by moving the stencil on the paper to the side a little so that all the space are filled with patterns.

3) Score straight lines at 3/8, 4 1/4, and 4 5/8 inch along the 5″ side. The first 3/8 inch wide part will be glued onto the back wall. 

4) Place die-cut images face down on the floor and mark cut slits at their bases using a pencil. Make sure that the images do not lay over the front edge or they will pop out of the card when you fold it. 

5) Use a knife to cut the marked slits, then adhere the 3/8 inch wide part of the floor to the back using double-sided tape or glue.

6) Now you need L-shaped props that are foldable to support the images when stand-up and to flat down the images when you fold the card. Cut several thin strips from heavyweight white card stock, make scores on the one-third of each strip. The length and width of strips are totally dependant on the height and width of your stand-up images. Just make sure that the bottoms of your L-strips are firmly glued to the bottom of card base under the floor. 

7) Insert L-strips into the slits of floor, position them to stand up perpendicular, apply glue on the bottom of each strip, now hold down the floor so that the glued surfaces are adhered to the bottom of card base.

8) Adhere the front part of the floor to the card base to set up the floor. 

9) Adhere the colored images to the L-strips and the floor using glue or tape as shown in the picture. 

10) Cut Happy Thanksgiving Script Die from white paper, color the die-cuts using Copic Markers (E29/E09/YR27/YR24/YR21/Y21), add sparkles on it using Wink of Stella, and glue them on the wall behind the scene. 

< Outside >
1) Create some subtle colored background by adding Wild Honey and Peeled Paint onto the outer surface of the card base. 

2) Create a fun autumn scene by adhering several images and die-cuts from Pumpkin Patch Critters, Fall Signs, Autumn Wreath, and Small Stitched Foliage Dies. 

3) Splatter with some metallic inks, adhere 4mm Metallic Gold and 6mm Metallic Gold Sequins around the scene and finish off the card.

That’s it from me for today. I hope you enjoyed my card. Thank you so much!

Welcome to Day 4 of Pretty Pink Posh Fall Theme Week! Alix here sharing a card I made with one of our lovely fall stamp sets called Pumpkin Patch Critters pairing with other great products. The weather is getting cooler where I live. So I started to decorate inside and front porch. I can never have enough pumpkins to celebrate the fall season.

To made my card, I mixed 3 colors of Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers with water and smashed the liquid onto a piece of A2 sized watercolor paper. Once the paper was dry, I die cut my center window using Storybook 6 Die , then I attached the pieces on to an A2 sized card base using liquid adhesive and foam tapes.

I stamped all chosen images from Pumpkin Patch Critters Stamp set with Versafine Onyx black ink onto Bristol smooth paper and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I die cut them with the Coordinating Dies  as well. I attached them onto my prepped background. To create dimension, you could add some foam squares. If you stick with some fall traditional colors which are orange, red, yellow and green, you can not go wrong with the color combo.

I stamped the sentiment “Happy Thanksgiving” from Thanksgiving Scene Stamp set onto the bottom portion of my card and I also added some Jewels in Marigold to embellish my card.

Now it’s your turn to start your fall project. Please head to our Fall section during this theme week to receive  a 15% discount on all items!

Hi friends! It’s Jeanne here today celebrating Pretty Pink Posh Fall Theme Week.  There are so many beautiful fall dies and stamp sets in the shop that the hardest part is deciding what set to play with!  I want them ALL! So I incorporated a few on my card today!

And great news! Celebrate fall and save 15%  on all items in our Fall section during this theme week! 

If you know me then you know I’m ADDICTED to COLOR! My favorite technique hands down is COLOR BLOCK. I love the bold colors and the clean designs achieved with this look. 

I love the Stacked Edges border dies in the shop.  They’re perfect for stacking layers without adding a lot of bulk, and the stitched edge detail is  Whenever I die cut the border edges I cut several at a time. Its a great way to use up scraps and your left with a bunch of pretty colorful strips ready to play with! 

On this card, I used the Stitched Borders 3 and Stitched Borders 4 die sets.

This little scene features the new Bear Friends stamp set.  I love the little bow that can be used as a bow tie for the papa bear, or to add a girly look to the little ones in the set.  The pumpkins are from the Pumpkin Patch Critters set. 

I topped the irresistible Sunflowers with “Thankful” from the Thankful for You Script die.  I cut the die once from gold glitter paper, and a second time from white card stock. I left the loops open so the gold can peek through. 

I hope you liked my card and that you are inspired to make an fall card today! Thank you for stopping by and have an amazing day!

My two cards may look very similar, but I used two different techniques to stamp the Sunflowers stamp set and two different techniques to colour them. 

I wanted to build a wreath, but even the smallest sunflower is pretty big, so I knew that I would need to do some masking to fit more than 4 flowers on my cards. I used two different turning methods to create my wreath. The second method allowed me to use the full 4 1/4 inch square panel, so I had a bit more space in the centre, and room to add some leaves.

Then it was time for colouring. My go-to method is Copic colouring and while I’m not an expert, I do feel pretty comfortable that I know enough to get consistent results. I added a bit of drama and high-contrast to the flowers with a deep orange marker. Then I used a dot technique to add some texture and interest (as well as colour!) to the background and I love the artistic look of the result.

But sometimes a ‘go-to’ can start to feel like a rut, so on the second panel, I tried another colouring medium – watercolours. I am much less comfortable with this, but I gave it a good try, using a similar colouring strategy as my first card and am pretty happy with my results. 

To finish off the card, I added sentiments from the Fall Signs stamp set. These are small and easy to cut to fit your card!

I’ve made a video so you can see exactly how different these two cards really are. 

Thank you for stopping by! Join us tomorrow for another day of fall inspiration!
