Hello everyone! Lexa here and this week, Pretty Pink Posh is having an Easter theme week. I think it will be a perfect opportunity for you to find some inspiration for the upcoming holiday. Since PPP has many choices of Easter theme products, you’ll find many items you need! *wink*
Let’s get started with my Easter card. I use Easter Egg Shaker Dies as the vocal point of my card, I placed it in the center. I use watercolor paper to die cut the Easter egg and then color it with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor palete. After the paints dried out, I adhere it on top of thick transparent plastic for the window. Some small size Buttercream Jewels are also adhered with glossy accent to embellish the red flowers. I love how contrast the colors are. You must agree that these brand new jewels are to die for! They are super pretty.
As for the background of my card, I blended Mowed Lawn and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks for the grass and the sky. Those adorable bunnies (my ultimate favorite of the new release!) from Bunny Friends Stamp Set are stamped with Versafine black ink and I watercolor them with Distress Inks. What’s an easter card without those bunnies, right?! I used the cheerful Tutti Fruitti Sequins Mix inside the shaker Easter egg. I just love love love how it turned out. The happy colors are so cute!
Thank you so much for stopping by today, don’t forget to leave me some love if you like this card as much as I do. And also wait for tomorrow, we have more inspiration and wonderful ideas… stay tuned to the PPP blog.
Hello, Gemma here and welcome to the first day of our Easter Theme Week here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog. My card today features three cute bunny friends popping out from behind some Easter eggs.
I began by blending some different colours of distress oxide inks on to white card. I chose lots of bright spring colours. I die cut the Decorative Eggs from the ink blended card, plus some extras of the solid egg in the set from white card. I’ll use these as backing pieces to build my Easter eggs.
I added some tape adhesive to the white eggs, then layered the coloured eggs on top, mixing them up so the stripes are different colours to the frames. Next, I die cut the large Scallop Framefrom white card and added some colour to it with shaded lilac distress oxide ink. I adhered the frame onto a white card base.
From the Bunny Friends stamp set, I chose the bunny that looks like it’s jumping. I stamped the image three times, colouring them with copics and die cutting with the coordinating die. I added some foam tape behind two of the Easter eggs, and tape runner adhesive behind the other two. This gives some nice dimension and makes it easier to overlap them. Before I adhered the eggs to the card, I added the bunnies with tape runner flat to the card base. Once the eggs are added on top, they look like they are jumping out.
For the sentiment, I die cut the Happy Easter Shaker die three times – twice from white card and once from some ink blended card to match the pink in the eggs. I cut out the words from the Shaker die cuts, then layered them together to get a dimensional sentiment. I adhered the words at the top of the card, in a line. I just love that the sentiment fits together so well in this layout.
I finished with some watermelon jewels around the bunnies for a touch of sparkle.
Thanks for joining me today. Join us here tomorrow for more Easter themed inspiration.
Although we call this no-line coloring, it actually isn’t no-line coloring because we can see lines stamped with a light colored ink. Since the Cherry Blossoms images have simple yet beautiful outlines, no line coloring is not too difficult. Coloring these small to moderate sized blossoms was really fun!
There are so many color options in Daniel Smith Paints that you may feel difficult what to choose, but, I found that I need only several of those colors to make watercolor flower cards. Here, I used my favorite colors which are Quinacridone Coral, Quinacridone Violet, Permanent Alizarin Crimson for blossoms, Prussian Green and Sap Green for leaves, Burnt Umberfor background. After I finished watercoloring, I trimmed the four edges a little to make the panel look clean.
To add a sentiment, I made a round stitched rectangle tag from a deep green card stock using the Stitched Pieces Die, then a sentiment from Encouraging Greetings Stamp Set was chosen and heat-embossed on the tag with white embossing powder. Then I punched two small holes on both sides of the tag, put natural twines through the holes, and tide a bow. The tag was also adhered onto the panel using foam tape.
Next, I foam mounted the panel onto an A2 sized side-folded card base. As a final touch, I added Buttercream Jewels onto the empty spaces between blossoms and leaves. Look how the jewels sparkle beautifully on the card! The Jewels Collection is now my favorite among the new release!
Here’s another look at the finished card.

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card featuring the beautiful new Happy Easter Shaker die along with the cute Bunny Friends stamp set. I wanted to create a layered look with the Happy Easter Shaker die, with different colours of cardstock and some jewels too.
To begin, I die cut the Happy Easter Shaker die from four colours of card stock – green, light pink, dark pink and lilac. I chose the green die cut as my base layer, so the leaves are set back the most when all the layers are put together.
Next, I fussy cut the flowers from both of the pink die cuts and adhered them over the green layer. Although these flowers will eventually be covered by jewels, where any of the card does show underneath, I want it to be the same colour as the jewels. I then trimmed away the leaves and flowers from the lilac die cut, leaving just the frame and the sentiment. I added this onto the green die cut.
Once all the layers of card are put together, I picked out some Pink Blush jewels and Watermelon jewels and adhered them over the top of the flowers with liquid glue. The jewels look so pretty as an accent on the card. I put the Happy Easter Shaker aside to work on the rest of the card. I die cut the largest of the Scallop Frame dies from white card, then blended on an ombré of lilac ink, to closely match the colour of the shaker frame.
I just had to add two of the cute bunnies from the Bunny Friends stamp set to my card. I stamped them out and coloured them with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I tucked one of the bunnies under the scallop frame at the bottom. I tucked the other bunny at the top of the Happy Easter Shaker die cut, trimming him a little to fit, then adhered everything to the card.
To finish, I added some foam squares just under the heads and ears of the bunnies, so they have some dimension.
Ready to hop along and see LOTS more fabulous inspiration with this new release?

Hello, Gemma here today to wish you all a Happy Spring! I just love this sentiment in the new Bunny Friends stamp set. Spring is my favorite season so welcoming it with a card seems perfect! I began this card by blending lucky clover distress oxide ink onto the front of a card base. I took another piece of card, about a third narrower than the card base, and blended cracked pistachio distress oxide ink on to that.
I stamped the sentiment from the Bunny Friends stamp set on to the card panel, then added it to the card base with foam tape.
Next, I stamped some images from the Bunny Friends stamp set, coloured them with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I placed three bunnies on the card, positioned just on the edge of the card panel. I added some foam tape on the right side of the bunnies, where they hang over the edge, and some tape runner on the left side, where they sit directly on the panel.
I then added lots of flowers and leaves around the bunnies. I used foam squares under some of the flowers, and adhered others directly to the card base. To finish the card, I added a few of the lovely green Shamrock jewels around the sentiment, and someWink of Stella clear glitter to the flowers.
If you haven’t picked up your set yet, be sure to get yours soon. There is a blog hop soon and I know there will be many cute ideas with this set.
These bunnies are so cute! I love how happy they look playing amongst the flowers! I hope you enjoyed this post!
Hello Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I am sharing video tutorial showing how to make several Good Luck cards featuring Best of Luck stamp set. I have 4 easy to make card ideas that work for St Patrick’s Day, but can also be used as an everyday Good Luck or Encouragement cards.
I started working on my projects by stamping images from the Best of Luck stamp set in alcohol marker friendly ink onto white cardstock. I used Copic markers and did some very basic and quick coloring. These, of course, can be colored using any coloring medium you prefer, I decided to use Copic markers because I find them easy to use. I used mostly green colors, although I didn’t use the St Patrick’s Day green as I don’t particularly like that shade of green, I went with the green that I like.
Watch my video tutorial below to learn how I made this card.
I used the following Copic Marker colors: YG03, YG17, C7, C5, C3, C1, Y11, Y15, Y17, E00, E02. Once my coloring was done I used coordinating dies and cut my images out in my Spellbinders Platinum Die Cutting machine.
Card Idea #1
For my first card I decided to use the horseshoe and a 3 leaf clover. To add some interest to my card I used colored cardstock and added it from the corners of white panel. I picked 3 shades of green cardstock and trimmed it using paper trimmer into 4 pieces.
I had cardstock panels cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and I trimmed them going on a diagonal once and than once again in the opposite direction. Next, I stamped Best of Luck sentiment in black ink onto my white cardstock panel and foam mounted the horseshoe in place and also used glue to adhere the shamrock.
Next, I temporarily adhered the panel onto my cutting mat – I aligned it with the grid and I started adhering green cardstock pieces in place. I didn’t measure anything, I just eyeballed the placement trying to evenly frame the image and sentiment in the center.
Once I had all the pieces adhered I used my scissors and I trimmed the rest of the cardstock off. I used new jewel embellishments from Pretty Pink Posh to dress up this card and I went with the Shamrock color of course – I used this color for most of my cards today.
Card Idea #2
For my next card I decided to use a non St. Patrick’s Day sentiment, but rather one that reads Sending Good Vibes. This sentiment comes from the new Encouraging Greetings stamp set.
I stamped and die cut a rainbow, pot of gold and a few shamrocks. I didn’t want to color the rainbow as a regular rainbow, but used just yellows instead. I stamped my sentiment in black ink and foam mounted my elements in place. I used foam adhesive to foam mount the yellow rainbow and once I had it placed I used a double layer of adhesive to foam mount the pot of gold and the shamrocks on the other side of the rainbow. I also added one shamrock onto the pot itself – I used glue for that one.
To add a bit of shine and sparkle to this card I used my Aqua Shimmer pen and added a generous amount of shimmer to the rainbow and also the gold coins in the pot. I feel like this shimmer really stepped up my card and added a bit of that necessary wow to this simple design.
Finally, I tucked 2 more shamrocks behind the rainbow for some additional interest. I also used new Jewels to embellish my card, I went with the lighter green color this time- Spring Green. I trimmed my panel to 4 x 5 1/4″ and foam mounted it onto an A2 top folding card base.
Card Idea #3
For my next card I did some negative die-cutting – I die cut an opening using a coordinating die for one of the images in a white cardstock panel.
I stamped a Best Of Luck sentiment and foam mounted my panel onto an A2 white card base. Next, I adhered my colored image in the opening, so it was recessed in the card and foam mounted a pot of gold over it creating a little scene.
I once again used my Aqua Shimmer pen to add some shine to the gold coins and I also adhered one of the shamrocks onto the pot with gold. Lastly, I couldn’t resist embellishing my card using new jewels and I used several Shamrock colored jewels to dress up this card.
Card Idea #4
My last card for today is an interactive one – I used a mini wobble spring to add movement and interest to this project. I stamped, colored and die-cut Patrick with the shamrocks and coins. I used scissors to just him out as I didn’t need to coins and shamrocks, I wanted to add the wobble spring just behind the guy.
I also stamped same image and Happy St. Patrick’s day sentiment onto a white cardstock panel. I colored the coins and shamrocks stamped in the background using Copics, but I didn’t color the little guy as I already have one colored and attached onto the mini wobble spring.
I adhere him in place and that added a ton of interactivity to this super simple card. Ever since I learned about these wobblers about a year or so ago I can’t stop using them for my cards! I think they are so much fun and every wobble spring card I’ve ever given to somebody made that person smile and play with the interactive element for a long time.
I foam mounted my panel onto a 4 Bar card base and of course I embellished it using the new Jewels in Shamrock.
Which card idea do you like the most? Share below! And as always, have fun stamping!
The March 2018 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post yesterday, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Eloise has you covered!
As you all know, Pretty Pink Posh steadily has released flowers stamps and what I love about them is that they are always released in shapes of separate blossoms and leaves, not in a bouquet or bunch shape.
There could be plenty of designs/layouts with these blossoms, which you can make into your own style. I have been seeing so many beautiful creations made with Pretty Pink Posh’s flowers sets, each of which is uniquely designed and beautiful as well. The new Cherry Blossoms Stamp Setis no exception. It’s very versatile!
Then I arranged blossoms and leaves on the panel according to the sketch I had in mind.
To embellish the card, I used several of our new Jewels Collection, which are so beautiful that they could add fantastic sparkly effect on your cards.
I put some ofButtercream, Pink Blush, Spring Green, and Shamrock here and there using a glue, then I foam-mounted the panel on an A2 sized top-folded cardbase and finished it off.
That’s it for today. Thanks for reading this post. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you will visit us again soon!
