Valentine Theme Week- Day 2

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 2

Hello crafty friends, it’s Yoonsun here to share a Valentine’s Day card with the Heart Vines die along with other love-themed products. The Heart Vines die has been loved by many crafty people already- it sold out but thankfully, is now back in stock.

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 2

I started by die cutting the Heart Vines from thick white cardstock. I die cut tiny hearts from red cardstock as well.

I made a heart background for the centre of the card using the Layered Hearts Stencils and Tattered Rose & Festive Berries Distress inks.

For the “Lovely” sentiment, I die cut it from metallic gold cardstock, and another sentiment, I heat embossed it from the Large Floral Hearts set in white.

I mounted all elements as shown in the picture on beige card base. I then decorated the card with red tiny heart die cuts & Sweetheart Rhinestones.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you tomorrow for a new day of Valentine inspiration!

Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

Hi friends, Tammy here! I’m so excited to be kicking off Valentine Theme Week with Pretty Pink Posh! Today I’m sharing this fun slimline shaker card, mixing together some of the newest release with some previous ones – I just love how all the products work so well together!!

Save 15% off items in the Valentine section during our Valentine Theme Week!

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

To begin, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock using the largest die from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies, and ink blended it with Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered some watered down Peacock Feathers onto my background for interest and set aside to dry.

Next, I did some paper piecing using the Valentine Hearts Stamp Set. First, I stamped the large scalloped hearts onto white cardstock and die cut them with the Valentine Hearts Coordinating Dies. I then stamped it again onto some patterned paper, fussy cut the hearts, and glued it to the die cut scalloped hearts. The other patterned hearts were simply die cut using the coordinating dies. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

I stamped the darling cupids from the Cupid Friends Stamp Set, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Coordinating Dies. Next, I stamped the word “Love”, from the Valentine Hearts Stamp Set, onto white cardstock with Red ink, then I white heat embossed the sentiment from All My Love onto a black strip of cardstock.

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

Next, I created a white frame border using the Slimline Dies. I then cut a piece of acetate to fit the opening and attached to the backside of the frame. Lastly, I sprinkled some 4mm Sweetheart Sequins Mix onto my card base, then lined the rectangle with Double Sided Foam Sticky Strips, and attached to the front of my card, making sure it is tightly sealed to complete my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you are inspired to start creating some Valentine’s cards! Join us tomorrow for another day of brand new Valentine inspiration!

Big Hugs, Tammy

A New Series by Gemma!

Pretty Pink Posh: A New Series by Gemma

If you missed Gemma’s series from last year- Create A Scene- CLICK HERE.

Hello, Gemma here and I’m excited to be sharing a card today for my new series here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog called Clean & Simple.

Pretty Pink Posh: A New Series by Gemma

I love creating clean and simple (CAS) cards. When I think of CAS, I think of white space and a focal image or area on a card. This style can be very minimal, with few layers and embellishments, but I also love to create mini scenes on my CAS cards. I’ll be sharing a variety of clean and simple looks in this series and I hope they will inspire you to try the CAS style too.

I’m using some new January release products on this card. I began by die cutting a slimline rectangle using the largest die in the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows set.

Pretty Pink Posh: A New Series by Gemma

I positioned the Peonies stencil over the top of the panel, masking it so I could blend ink through one of the flower images. I lightly blended spun sugar distress oxide first, then used a smaller blending tool to add some picked raspberry distress oxide ink for shadow areas, blending out with the spun sugar oxide ink again. For the leaves, I used pumice stone and hickory smoke distress oxides, but also added some shaded lilac oxide ink which adds a lovely purple hue to the leaves.

I repeated these steps, moving the stencil around, masking different flowers and leaves and inking through the stencil, creating a floral scene on the slimline panel.

Pretty Pink Posh: A New Series by Gemma

The ink blending alone own looks lovely and you could defiantly stop there, but I decided to add some details with my colouring pencils. I picked light, medium and dark shades of pencils for both the flowers and leaves. I added details to emphasise the shadows, blending out to the lighter areas. You can use the pencils to define edges too.

I cut a panel of pearlescent card, which picks out the pink tones on my flowers. I layered this on my card base, then added the stencilled panel on top.

Pretty Pink Posh: A New Series by Gemma

Next, I die cut a scalloped frame from white card, using the new Slimline Scallop Frames set. I layered this on to the card to add some pretty detail but still keep the design clean and simple.

I stamped a small sentiment from the Simple Sentiments stamp set. Above this, I added a die cut Celebrate, using the same pearlescent card as the base. I stacked this with two white die cuts for dimension. To finish, I added a few of my favourite Pearl White jewels around the sentiment.

Pretty Pink Posh: A New Series by Gemma

I hope you enjoyed this first installment of the new series. If there is a specific product you’d like me to try to feature in the future, feel free to leave a comment below!

Hi everyone, Leica here for the second day of our birthday celebration blog hop!

Today I am sharing a birthday slimline card using new items from Pretty Pink Posh. First, I cut a 3.5” x 8.5” panel in white cardstock and used the Wide Stripes Stencil and brushed with distress oxides in Picked Raspberry, Antique Linen, and Spiced Marmalade. I then cut a slightly smaller panel and used the Layered Confetti Stencils using the same inks above. Next, I die cut a pink cardstock using the larger die from the Slimline: Scallop Frames Die Set and glued on the panel with the confetti print. 

Day 2: Birthday Celebration Blog Hop

Next, I stamped images from the Party Days stamp set, colored with Copic markers, and cut with the coordinating dies. I backed them with a yellow cardstock cut using the scallop square from the same die set. I then heat embossed the sentiments from the Let’s Party stamp set in white onto black cardstock that I cut using the Simple Strips die.

Day 1: Birthday Celebration Blog Hop

If you missed Day 2 CLICK HERE //  If you missed Day 3 CLICK HERE

Hi Friends, welcome to day 1 of the birthday celebration blog hop. Melody here today and I am sharing two cards using two of the gifts that are FREE with qualifying $100 purchases this month in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. Details are at the bottom of this post.

First up is a look at the Celebrate Script Die, perfect for holidays and occasions throughout the year. I used the die with the new Birthday Cake Die Set. I started by cutting the die from white card stock to create the card front. Then I used the die again to cut the balloons, candles, and frosting. I inlaid the colored cardstock back in the card front. I also added a coat of glitter to the frosting. 

I stenciled the cake with the new Lattice Stencil. The background is stenciled with the new Layered Confetti Stencil. This is a set of three stencils that layer to create a fun background! I added a layer of vellum between the card front and the background. 

I die cut the Celebrate Script Die twice, once from white cardstock and once from a light weight chipboard and layered the two die cuts together. Then I blended Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks. I finished off the cake with the new Sweetheart Rhinestones

My second card is created with the Hedgehog Birthday Stamp Set.  I stamped the image in Memento Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers. I lightly blended Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink in the background. I framed the image with the smaller die in the Scallop Frames Dies

Next I stenciled the background. Starting at the bottom of the card front I blended a pale green, lavender, and pale pink ink. Then I stenciled the background with the Layered Confetti Stencils in the same colors. I finished off the card with the new Cupcake Clay Confetti.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at some of the new dies from the January 11th release!

For my first card, I’ve used the Birthday Cake die. This fabulous die is A2 in size and makes it so easy to create fun birthday cards.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

I cut the die twice from white card, layering them together for dimension. I added a gel print distress oxide background to my card base, created with Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Shaded Lilac inks. I then the layered Birthday Cake die on top.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

Colour can be added to the die cut pieces using different colouring mediums. You can also die cut the panel from patterned paper or coloured card for easy paper piecing. I love to use glitter or embossed card too, for some fun texture.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

The sentiment is from the new Let’s Party stamp set. I cut the sentiment into a strip and layered it over some card inked with Wilted Violet distress oxide ink. As a finishing touch, I covered the balloons with Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

On my second card, I used the new Slimline: Peekaboo Windows die set. Slimline cards are really popular and I’m excited that Pretty Pink Posh is releasing two slimline die sets this month.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

The Slimline: Peekaboo Windows set has 6 dies. I love that the largest stitched die is slightly smaller than a standard 8.5 x 3.5 slimline card, leaving a border on my card base. A lovely bonus of this is that it also cuts in my die machine with one pass.

I blended a rainbow of distress oxide inks onto the large die cut panel, then adhered it to my card base.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

Next, I cut the smaller panel die along with the 3-window die from white glitter card. This die set is so versatile – there are many ways to use the dies together or separately. There are also 3 square peekaboo dies included in the set.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

I cut these dies again, this time from white card. I stamped images from the new Party Days stamp set on the squares cut from the dies. I coloured them with copics and adhered the squares in the spaces on my card.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

I have one more card to share today, this time showcasing the new Stitched Gift Card Holders. There are 2 dies in this set. I used the scalloped edge die on my card.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

I cut the die from white card and adhered it on another panel of white card. Make sure not to add adhesive on the flaps as these need to lift up to hold a gift card.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

I used the new Layered Confetti stencils to add an embossed glitter pattern to my panel. I blended  some picked raspberry distress oxide ink to my card base, then layered the embossed panel on top.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

As this is the front of my card, I wanted something to be revealed behind the gift card when it’s removed from the gift card holder. I stamped an image from the new Party Days stamp set, coloured it with copics, then die cut with the coordinating die. I then adhered it on the gift card holder with liquid glue.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Dies

The sentiment is from the new Let’s Party stamp set. I stamped it on a strip of card, inked with picked raspberry distress oxide ink, then adhered it across the card to finish.

We hope that you have been inspired by the sneak peeks this week. Join us tomorrow for the reveal of the new products and to order the complete release bundles!

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Stencils

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a sneak peek of a few of the amazing new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on January 11th.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Stencils

For my first card I am using the Layered Confetti Stencil Set. This is a set of 3 stencils that you can layer together to create a fun background. So quick and easy to create!

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Stencils

For my cupcake, I used the new Valentine Circles Set– so cute! I colored the cupcake with my Copic markers and attached it to my card panel with foam adhesive. Lastly, I used the new Let’s Party Set to stamp my sentiment. 

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Stencils

For my next card I used both the Lattice and the Peonies Stencils. I started my card by using the Lattice Stencil. I applied Distress Oxide Ink in Hickory Smoke to create my card panel. 

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Stencils

Next, I used the Peonies Stencil to create my flowers and leaves. I once again used Distress Oxide Ink for all of my blending. I used Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar for the flowers. For the leaves I used Cracked Pistachio. I then used the Peonies Dies (from a previous release) to die cut all of my flowers and leaves. I love the option of having dies to coordinate with the stencil.

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Stencils

Once my pieces were finished I splattered a little white and black acrylic paint over my flowers and background. 

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Stencils

For my sentiment I used the new All My Love set. Lastly, I added a few Sparkling Clear Jewels to finish my card. 

Sneak Peek: January 2021 Stencils

Thanks for joining me today. I can’t wait to share with you all of my other projects from the release!

Sneak Peek: Valentine Circles

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share with you a sneak peek of the sweet Valentine Circles stamp set that releases January 11th.

Sneak Peek: Valentine Circles

There are 6 circle images in this set and they can be used together or on their own. The coordinating die set also includes a scallop edge with stitching, for a decorative finish.

I love these monkeys together. I stamped them and the cupcake image, coloured them with copic markers, then die cut with the coordinating die. I also die cut some plain circles to go behind each image, for some dimension.

Sneak Peek: Valentine Circles

For my background, I die cut some patterned paper using the previously released Stitched Strip dies. I layered these over some white card die cut strips, for more stability, then adhered them to my card base.

Sneak Peek: Valentine Circles

On my card base, I stamped a sentiment from the previously released Simple Sentiments stamp set. The large Love word is from the new Valentine Hearts stamp set. I love the look of this large stamped word and am so excited that it has a coordinating die. I embossed it with a pink embossing powder and die cut with the coordinating die. As with the circle images, I added some plain die cuts behind it for dimension.

Sneak Peek: Valentine Circles

Finally, I arranged the three images from the Valentine Circles stamp set to finish this fun anniversary card.

I hope you were inspired by today’s card. Stop by tomorrow for a sneak peek at the new stencils!

Sneak Peek: Let’s Party + Party Days

Hi everyone! Jane here today sharing a sneak peek of some products from the amazing release that premiers on January 11th! I’m sharing a look at the Let’s Party and Party Days stamp sets.

Sneak Peek: Let's Party + Party Days

For my first card, I’m featuring the new Party Days stamp set. To start, I created a background by cutting a few small diamonds from the Stitched Diamonds die. The following card stock colors were used (left to right): oyster grey (Ellen Hutson), blush pink (stamp market), apricot (lawn fawn), peach, melon and citrine (stamp market). Next, I arranged the cut diamonds on a piece of white copy paper and glued them down using liquid glue. Then, I used one of the dies from Slimline: Peekaboo Windows to cut the background piece.

Sneak Peek: Let's Party + Party Days

Next, I created a shaker window by cutting a piece of white cardstock using the largest slimline die and medium size die from Slimline: Peekaboo Windows to create a frame. A large piece of acetate was adhered to the back of the panel using liquid glue. The balloons from the new Party Days stamp set was stamped to the front of the acetate frame using black StazOn ink. I drew in the strings using a black fine tip sharpie.

Sneak Peek: Let's Party + Party Days

Then, I stamped a sentiment from the new Let’s Party stamp set and adhered it to the lower left of the card front. The card front was lined with double foam tape to create a shaker and I used 6mm and 3mm sparkling clear sequins to fill the shaker. Everything was adhered to a slimline card base and that completes the first card!

My next card uses these sweet cupcake images from the new party days stamp set.

To start, I created a striped panel using the Simple Strips die and same cardstock colors listed above. The strips were adhered to a piece of copy paper using double sided tape. Next, I cut a large circle from white cardstock using  the largest circle from the Scallop Circles die. Using liquid glue, I adhered the circle to my panel with the strips and cut the overlaying edges away using scissors.  

Sneak Peek: Let's Party + Party Days

Images from the Party Days stamp set were stamped using copic friendly black ink and colored using the following copic markers:

Cupcake tops: YR61, R32, R11, R01, RV21, RV10, YG23, YG01, Y000
Cupcake wrapper: C3, C0

Sneak Peek: Let's Party + Party Days

The sentiment from the new let’s party stamp set was stamped on black cardstock using versamark ink and white heat embossed.  Using my paper trimmer, I cut a strip with the sentiment and adhered it to the circle using foam tape.  The cupcake images were cut using the coordinating die and trimmed down using scissors. Foam tape added to the back of the cupcake and they were adhered to the front of the card.  The circle was adhered to a dot pattern paper (this is dot washi tape on white cardstock) and an A2 piece of oyster grey cardstock by Ellen Hutson.  The entire panel was then adhered to an A2 white card base and that completes the card!

Sneak Peek: Let's Party + Party Days

The next card and tag set uses images from the new Party Days and Let’s Party stamp sets. I love how these sets coordinate so well together!  To create the slimline card, I first stamped and white heat embossed a cake from the new Party Days stamp set. The background was then ink blended using the following inks: party dress, bellini, lemongrass, orange twist (all by Catherine pooler), and peach perfect (altenew).  Next, I used a copic marker to add shadows on my cake and a white gel pen used to fill in the white frosting.  

Sneak Peek: Let's Party + Party Days

Using the Party Days coordinating dies I cut the image and white center frame. Then, I added strips of colored cardstock to the background and adhered everything down using liquid glue. Next, using versafine black ink, I added confetti from the Let’s Party stamp set. The frame was cut from white card stock using the new Slimline: Scallop Frames die and adhered to the outside of the card.

Sneak Peek: Let's Party + Party Days

For the tag, I white heat embossed an image from the Let’s Party stamp set and ink blended it using the same inks listed above. Next, I cut the largest circle from the Scallop Circles die set using white cardstock and adhered it to the outside of the tag. Sentiment from the Let’s Party stamp set was white heat embossed on black card stock and adhered using foam tape. Then, I used a hole puncher to create a hole at the top for the ribbon to slip though and that finishes the tag!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Stop by tomorrow for more sneak peeks of the amazing new release by Pretty Pink Posh!
