Hi Friends! Jane here with a Thanksgiving card to kick of Autumn Theme Week at Pretty Pink Posh!
Be sure to stop by the Thanksgiving section at the Pretty Pink Posh store for 15% off products in that category this week!
To create this scene, I used a bunch of masking and stamping to create this one dimensional scene. To start, I used an A2 piece of Neenah heavy weight cardstock and stamped the turkey from Happy Turkey stamp set in the center of the card. Next, the turkey was re-stamped on masking paper and the mask was fussy cut using scissors. Then, the mask was adhered to the turkey image on my card. I repeated the stamping and masking process with all the leaves from the Falling Leaves stamp set.
The images were colored using copic markers and a white gel pen was used to add accents to the turkey feathers and leaves. The sentiment from the Happy Turkey stamp set was stamped in black ink on the top of the card. Using a paper trimmer, the edges were cut to 3.75 inches by 5 inches and the card was mounted to a piece of deep orange card stock using sticky foam sheet. Then the entire card front was adhered to an A2 card base and that finishes the card!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Stop by tomorrow for another day of inspiration!
Hello there crafty friends! Elaine here today to share a couple of simple cards ideas using some Halloween products! I couldn’t wait to use the Halloween Wreath stamp set; I just love everything about it plus all the little extra stamps included in the set.
I stamped the wreath image and lots of the additional stamps that come in the set on to copic friendly cardstock with a copic friendly ink. I then used my copic markers to colour all the images. Here are all the markers I used:
For both card designs I used white card bases with a 4 ½” x 4½” front. For the card with the wreath, I used a medium sized blending brush along with Distress Ink in Wilted Violet to slowly build up colour in a circle to create a halo background for the wreath to sit on. I used the wreath to help me build up the intensity to ensure there was enough colour showing. I added a few Wilted Violet ink splatters as well as some black splatters to help add more interest to the background.
Using the Trick or Treat sentiment from the Halloween Wreath set, I stamped it in the centre of the card front with a black pigment ink. The last thing to do was adhere the wreath, bat, and ghost and that finished up the first card!
For the second card I used some temporary spray adhesive on the back the Candy Background stencil and secured it over some smooth heavyweight white card. I gently blended some Distress Ink in Wilted Violet over the stencil to create a fun subtle background. After removing the stencil, I splattered on some watered down Wilted Violet and Black Soot Distress Ink with a tiny paint brush and cut the stencilled panel to 3 7/8“ x 3 7/8”. Next, I cut the Trick or Treat Script die from black card stock and secured it to the front of the panel with liquid adhesive. Using some of the little extra stamps I coloured I secured a few of them on the front of the card. To create the spider thread, I drew a line with a ruler and fine tip permanent marker, I love how cute Mr Spider looks hanging off the letter ‘t’!
I matted my stencilled panel on to a light grey card panel measuring 4 1/8” x 4 1/8” and layered it on top of a purple panel measuring 4 ¼” x 4 ¼”. Finally, the whole panel was secured to the front of the white card base.
Thank you so much for joining me today, I hope you enjoyed these cards using some of the Halloween products!
Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a Christmas card featuring the cutest snowman die from Pretty Pink Posh’s new release. This is a standalone die called Snowman Shaker.
To begin, I cut a 3.75″ x 5″ white cardstock using the Stitched Notes Die. I ink blended the bottom portion with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. I also cut a smaller panel and ink blended the bottom area with Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. I added snow using Glitz Glitter Gel in white through the Snowfall Stencil.
Next, I cut the snowman and top hat in 110lb white cardstock. I colored the hat with Copic Sketch markers – BG09/05/13 and N9/7/5. I then colored the eyes and mouth with N9, nose with YR07/04, and arms with E47/44. To easily piece the snowman together, I turned it over and taped the edge of the border to the larger die. I also added tape behind the eyes, nose, and mouth. I then glued the eyes, nose, and mouth down to the tape.
I foam mounted the snowman and hat onto the panel for dimension. Next, I white heat embossed “Let it” on astrip of black cardstock. I also white heat embossed “Snow” on pink cardstock and cut with its coordinating die. I foam mounted the sentiment onto the card panel. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a card base – 5″ x 7.5″ scored at the 3.75″ mark.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this Christmas card.
Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today to share a couple projects using the new Layered Ornaments Stencils. I LOVE this set! It’s very easy to align and the ornaments are so cute!
Stencils are a great way to fill space quickly, so I decided to make a slimline card. I blended the first two rows in aqua, the second two in pink, and then I moved my stencil down a bit to create a third set of rows in green. I added the ornament details in darker shades of each color using the second stencil in the set, and finally I added the ornament tops in grey with the third stencil layer.
I wanted a sentiment that would still allow the ornaments to be visible, so I decided to use vellum. Cutting the vellum with the smallest frame in the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Diescreated stitched lines at the top and bottom of the sentiment strip. Then I simply cut the Merry Christmas Script Die in black, placed it on my vellum strip, and adhered it at an angle on my card.
I could have stopped there, but recently when I was cleaning out some crafty supplies I found a bottle of glitter glue, and now seemed like a good time to use it. I added glitter lines to the top and bottom of my sentiment strip as well as various stripes on the ornaments. A little sparkle made the ornaments even cuter! The final touch was a few marshmallow pearls in the snowflake centers.
With the same supplies out, I got to work on my second project. I knew I didn’t need as many ornaments, so I just randomly stenciled some of theLayered Ornaments in the turquoise, green, and pink/red combos. Then I trimmed them out with scissors and arranged them on my card, popping them up with a bit of foam tape for dimension.
I filled in some of the open white space with the two smallest sizes of marshmallow pearls…because, why not? :) I used the Holiday Scripts stamps +coordinating dies (love them!) for my sentiment. I even snuck the vellum on this card, too, by backing the sentiment with an added layer of vellum.
There are SO MANY possibilities with the new Layered Ornaments Stencils. I’ll definitely be using them again and again. Thanks so much for visiting today! We can’t wait to see what you create with these new stencils.
To start, the background was ink blended using the following distress oxide inks: seedless preserves, victorian velvet and spun sugar. Be sure to leave a blank space at the bottom of the card to give the illusion of fallen snow.
The background was splatted using white acrylic paint and water to create a snowy background.
Next, I stamped the images from Village and Village Additions stamp sets using copic-friendly black ink and colored them using copic markers. The building images were fussy cut using scissors and the rest of the images were die cut using the coordinating dies. White gel pen used to add accents to the images.
I glued the building images to the ink blended background and used foam squares to pop up the tiny Village Additions images to the card front. Then, I used white Nuvo drops and glitter to mimic fallen snow to the rooftops. The sentiment from the Holiday Scripts stamp and coordinating die set as used for the “Merry” and I stamped the “Christmas” using Versafine black ink with the help of my Misti. After everything was dry, the entire card front was adhered to a light grey A2 card base.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check out the October release online at Pretty Pink Posh!
Hey friends! Elaine here today from @pinkpeppermint cards. A new Pretty Pink Posh release is here and I have a super fun and festive project to share with you. Go ahead and grab a coffee and join us for a fun blog hop showcasing lots of fun inspiration using the new release plus a chance to win a prize!
To start my project I took 4 pieces of heavyweight white card cut to 6”x6”. Taking the Layered Holly Stencil I took stencil B and ink blended on the holly leaves in a green, teal shade all over each of the card panels. I then used stencil C to blend a slightly heavier layer of the same ink through the apertures to create the spines of the holly leaves. Lastly, took stencil A to apply a red ink through the holes to add berries to the panel. Before removing the stencil, I applied Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Sceptre Red to give some sparkle and added dimension. To add a little more interest to my card panels and add extra sparkle I splattered on some gold metallic paint over the top of the stencil pattern. I set all 4 panels aside to dry and thoroughly cleaned my stencils and paint brush.
While the panels were drying, I prepared my tags and sentiments. Firstly I die cut some tags from white card stock using the Stitched Essentials 1 die set. I used a border die from the Stitched Borders 1 die set and cut away the bottom half of each tag. For the tags, I added sentiments using the beautiful new Holiday Scripts stamp set in a black pigment ink. I also prepared the sentiments for my cards while my card panels were drying. I stamped the words ‘Merry’ and ‘Holidays’ on to white cardstock with a black pigment ink and used the Holiday Scripts coordinating dies to cut out the words. I also white heat embossed the words ‘Christmas’ and ‘Happy’ on to black cardstock and trimmed into thin strips.
Using a guillotine, I trimmed 2 of my holly stencilled panels down to 4.5” x 4.5”. I wrapped a strip of vellum around each card panel and adhered each end to the back with double sided adhesive. I put foam tape on the back of each panel and adhered each one to a white 5”x 5” side folding card base. I applied my pre prepared sentiments on to the vellum strip with liquid adhesive.
Taking the Stitched Essentials 1 die set again, I cut tags from the remaining holly blended panels. I adhered the stamped tag pieces over the top of the stencilled tags with liquid adhesive. I used a hole punch to add some holes to the tags and popped some red thread through the openings.
As a final embellishment on both the cards and tags I added some new Metallic Gold Pearls in various sizes using some liquid adhesive.

Hello, Gemma here and I have a jolly Christmas card to share, using the new October release using a bright and bold colour scheme of red and blue.
I stamped images from Snowman Friends and Village Additions and coloured them with my copic markers. I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies.
Next, I worked on the background. I adhered a panel of patterned paper to a 5.25 inch square card base, then added a piece of white card for the snowy ground.
I arranged the images in the scene, adhering them directly on the card, apart from the smaller snowman who is popped up with foam tape.
For the main sentiment, I used the fabulous Holiday Scripts stamp set, which is a must-have. I love having the coordinating dies for the large words, which offer lots of possibilities. My favourite way to use this set is to heat emboss the words in white on coloured card stock, then die cut with the coordinating dies. I added a couple of die cut layers behind the Merry word for dimension.
I embossed the second sentiment on a strip of red cardstock, then adhered both at the base of the card. For a fun extra sentiment, I decided to give the snowmen a speech bubble sentiment. I used the previously released Stitched Speech Bubbles die set, cutting one from white card and another from red.
I stamped the sentiment from Snowman Friends in blue ink, to match the colour scheme, then offset layered the speech bubbles together on the card to finish.

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today. I have a simple Christmas card to share with you all to kick off day 1 of the blog hop.
For this square-shaped card, I used images from the new Pretty Pink Posh Christmas Candles stamp set and Poinsettia Corners stamp set. Let’s begin! I first cut a 4.25″ square in silver glitter cardstock. I also cut a 4″ square and adhered it onto the larger panel.
I glued down the 3 large candles directly on the card. I also stamped “Christmas” and “sending love & light” on the card panel. Next, I foam mounted the smaller candles, poinsettia, and the “merry” greeting. For added texture and interest, I added Metallic Silver Pearls here and there.

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today with two cards that use a few of the amazing new stencils (and die) coming to Pretty Pink Posh on October 13th.
My first card uses the new Layered Ornaments Stencil. This is a three pack of stencils that make an adorable card panel. I ink blended each ornament with dye and a small finger dauber. I then used the second stencil and added the ornament detail with a shade darker ink. Lastly, I used the third stencil to add the silver ornament topper.
For my sentiment I used the new Holiday Scripts stamp and coordinating die set. I love this set of sentiments. They are perfect for all of your holiday and winter cards.
My next card uses the new Layered Holly Stencil. The Layered Holly stencils are three stencils that can be layered together to make the most gorgeous background.
I once again used dye ink and started with a light green to make the holly. I then used the second stencil to add the darker leaf vein. Lastly, I used the third stencil to add red berries. I then kept the third stencil in place and added White Glitz Glitter Gel to add a little extra sparkle to the berries.
Next, I used the new Winter Candle die to create my focal image. I die cut the candle from white cardstock and then inlaid the pieces back into the die with colored cardstock. I mounted the candle onto a circle that had been die cut with the Scallop Circle Die. For my sentiment I used the new Christmas Candles set.
Thanks for joining me today. I hope you found some inspiration for the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on October 13th.
Hello friends! It’s Leica here and today I am sharing a sneak peek of the new Winter Circles stamp set. There are 6 different images in this set and they are perfect for Christmas cards and tags. There is also a coordinating die set – a plain circle and a scallop lace circle. I decided to use all the images for my card.
For my card, I first cut a 5×7 panel in white 110 lb cardstock. I then cut a gold cardstock measuring 3.75″x7″ and a teal cardstock measuring 3.5″x7″. I glued these down in the center of the white panel. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Winter Circles Stamp Set. I colored them with Copic Sketch:
I then cut 6 of the scallop lace circles in white cardstock and glued the images on top of each one. Next, I foam mounted them onto the card panel. The sentiments are from the new Holiday Scripts stamp set. I white heat embossed the “merry” and “season’s greetings” on a strip of black cardstock and gold heat embossed the “Christmas” on white cardstock and cut with its coordinating die. I then foam mounted the sentiments onto the card base.
Lastly, I adhered the base onto a card panel – 7″x10″ scored at the 5″ mark.
That’s all for this Christmas card! I hope that you enjoyed today’s sneak peek and that I’ve inspired you to create holiday cards for your loved ones!
