Cards

Hi Friends- Angelica here with a fun Halloween card to share for the last day of Halloween week. All products in the Halloween section on the PPP shop is 15% off through tonight. 

I love using the color purple for Halloween cards, and that’s exactly what I did here. I taped off the bottom of a panel of Bristol Smooth Paper, and blended Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord, and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks for the sky. I flipped the mask around and blended Forest Moss Distress ink for the ground. I trimmed the panel down, then stamped and white heat-embossed a sentiment from Halloween Friends stamp set. I then stamped the spider from the same set in black ink, and heat embossed clear embossing powder to make the spider shine. I attached then panel to a card base with foam adhesive. 

Next, I did a lot of Copic coloring. I pulled stamps from several sets to build my Halloween scene. I started with the little critters in costume and candy bucket from the Halloween Friends stamp set. I used the coordinating dies to die-cut them. The little pumpkin is from the Halloween Pals stamp set, and coordinating die. I stamped BOO! from Halloween Friends onto the Scarecrow’s sign before die-cutting him. My last colored image is the pumpkin and rabbit from the Pumpkin Patch Friends stamp set. I made the pumpkin into a jack-o-latern before die-cutting it. My last die-cut was the Spooky Fence.

I glued the fence to the card, and added highlights with a white gel pen. I attached each image with thin foam squares. To finish the card, I added three Glossy Black Jewels.

I hope I have given you some creative ideas for your next Halloween card! That’s all that I have for today. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Everyone! It’s Melody here with you today for Day 6 of Halloween Theme Week. I have a Halloween card to share with you that was created with a friend or older child in mind. Even though my girls are not “kids” anymore, I still like to give them a card and a sweet treat! I used a combination of the Autumn Wreath Stamp Set and Autumn Wreath Coordinating Dies and the Boo Stamp Set and Boo Coordinating Dies to create my Halloween Wreath. 

With the Autumn Wreath Stamp Set and Autumn Wreath Coordinating Dies I die cut the wreath to used for the base. Then I stamped and colored a variety of leaves and flowers and die cut with the coordinating dies. 

Then with the Boo Stamp Set and Boo Coordinating Dies I stamped and colored all the spooky and festive elements included in the stamp set.  

I attached a piece of twine at the top the wreath. Using the die cut wreath as my base I layered on a mixture of the die cut pieces until I was happy with the arrangement and then glued each die cut to the wreath. I added a few Glossy Black Jewels to the wreath for a little bling. The sentiment is included in the Boo Stamp Set. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. 

I cut a white panel of cardstock to give the feel of a door and scored lines on the panel. I added the border one each side of the door with one of the borders in the Stitched Borders I Dies. 

Thanks for stopping by! Join us tomorrow for the last day of Halloween Theme Week!

Hello! Thi here and today I am thrilled to be sharing a Halloween card I made for Halloween theme week! Pretty Pink Posh makes some of the most unique and fun Halloween products and I was very excited with the chance to mix some old and new products for today’s card.

For today’s card, I used the following Pretty Pink Posh products:

• Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Pals & the coordinating dies
• Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Friends & the coordinating dies
• Pretty Pink Posh Spooky Fence
• Pretty Pink Posh Boo Coordinating Dies

I started by coloring all my critters from Halloween Pals & Halloween Friends with Copic markers and die cutting with their coordinating dies. 

Next, I cut an A2 size piece of Bristol smooth card stock and ink blended with Distress Oxides in Stormy Sky, Broken China and Chipped Sapphire. I splattered some black ink on top of my ink blended background for interest and spooky fun!

I then die cut the Spooky Fence in black card stock and directly glued this onto my background while trimming off the excess with a pair of scissors. To finish my background, I stamped the sentiment from Halloween Friends directly onto the bottom of this background piece.

For some fun impact, I die cut the BOO from the coordinating dies for the Boo stamp set (which is gorgeous but I did not use today though) onto Bristol smooth card stock and ink blended with Distress Oxide in Dried Marigold and blended down into white. I felt this gave it some color but kept it subtle since it will be sitting on a dark background.

I lined up and popped the BOO and my colored critters onto the card with foam tape for dimension. For a little something-something, I added that cute spider from Halloween Friends into the O in boo and my card is finished!

I hope you liked my Halloween card and as always, thanks for reading! Have an amazing day!

Hi friends, it’s Dana! It is Halloween Theme Week at Pretty Pink Posh and I am excited to be sharing a fun Halloween card with you all. This week the design team will be sharing lots of projects that use many favorite Halloween products from the Pretty Pink Posh online shop. For my card, I used the Trick or Treat Friends set along with many other favorite supplies.

As an added bonus all the Halloween Products will be 15% during Halloween Theme Week. 

For my  card, I started by creating my background. I added Color Burst powders (Orchid, Merlot and Indigo) to a piece of watercolor paper along with some water to create my night sky. Once that was dry I used the Stars Stencil along with some Transparent Gloss Texture Paste. I love how the stars have a subtle but shiny texture.

Next, I stamped my images from the Trick or Treat Friends Stamp Set and the Boo Stamp Set with a Copic friendly black ink. I colored my images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. 

I then ink blended Distress Oxide Ink in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn to a piece of smooth cardstock. I used the Scallop Borders 1 Die Set to create my ground/grass, and the Spooky Fence die to create the fun fence line in my background. Next, I stamped my sentiment from the Boo Stamp Set onto the bottom section of my grass.

To finish my card, I attached my grass along with my fence line to my sky background. I then added all of my fun Halloween images to my card front with foam adhesive. These little trick or treaters, all dressed for Halloween, sure do make me smile!

I hope you enjoyed my card today! Join us tomorrow for another day of inspiration.

Hello, friends! Welcome to day 3 of the Halloween Theme Week!  This is Caly and I’m here to share a fun Halloween card made using new and old products.  The Trick or Treat Friends set is a classic that I go to every year and the new BOO set is so much fun, I had to pair them together.

Broom:  E31, E35, E37, R14, R29

Bat:  C2, C5, C8

I started by creating my background.  I ink-blended with Cracked Pistachio, blending towards the center, then darkened it with Peacock Feathers, then a bit of Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.  After blending, I splattered the panel with water, white and black ink.  

I set the panel aside to dry before cutting the word BOO out of it.  I stamped the BOO stamp on black cardstock and embossed it with white embossing powder then added foam adhesive to the top panel before adhering it over the black embossed panel.

I colored the images from both stamp sets using Copic markers  and after die-cutting them, I arranged them all over with the two Trick or Treat Friends popping out of the word.  

The Pretty Pink Posh stamp sets are so easy to mix and match. I hope I inspired you to try mixing your stamp sets!

Hello and welcome to day 2 of Halloween Theme Week. Wanda here and today I am sharing a card featuring several PPP products.

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

Begin with a white A2 card base. Cut a layer of black cardstock to go on top of the white card base. Using the diamond shape from the Stacked Edges 2 die set, cut several strips of black and orange diamonds.Glue the diamond shapes onto a thin piece of cardstock, carefully matching the edges.

Trim this piece with the diamonds and layer onto the black cardstock. Set this part aside.Use a strip of vellum and heat emboss the Happy Halloween Sentiment (from Halloween Friends) in white embossing powder.Wrap this vellum strip around the layers of black cardstock and diamonds.

Attach this entire piece to the front of the white card base. Create the pumpkin shaker piece by die cutting the Grateful Shaker Die out of white cardstock. With a pair of scissors, trim the words from the center of the pumpkin.

Color the pumpkin and the background using Distress Inks and small sponge daubers. Use acetate for the shaker part. Fill the shaker with PPP sequins, and tiny die cut images!

Thanks so much for stopping by today- hope you have a wonderful day!

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!
