Jeanne here today and I’m so EGG-cited to be sharing dies from the new release with you today! I’ve combined two of the new sets on this first colorful Easter card.
The new Stacked Layers 2 die set includes 3 stackable dies. Like the original Stacked Layers 1 you can cut the dies several times to make amazing backgrounds or use them individually as borders.
I cut the diamond pattern in a rainbow of colors before adhering the gorgeous floral, intricate cut Happy Easter Shaker die. I love the diamond pattern peeking through the die openings. This card is clean and simple but the crisp die cuts and stitched detail makes it look fussy and expensive.
The new Decorative Eggs is a set of four egg die cuts. You can use the individually “as is” or stack them as I did on my card.
I arranged the four eggs on a clean white Stitched Notes panel. To add more color to the card I cut blocks of card stock in colors matching the die cut eggs and layered them under the panel. I topped the eggs with the new Happy Easter Script sentiment die.
Notice anything else new? You’re going to love the new Jewels in the store! They’re available in a rainbow of colors and are faceted like real gems. The packages contain a generous portion of gems in different sizes that will add sparkle to all your projects!
Stop by again soon for more peeks at the new release! You won’t want to miss a thing!
Hello everyone! Amy here and I’m so excited to be sharing a look at the new adorable Bunny Friends stamp set releasing March 1st. The coordinating Bunny Friends Dies will be available as well.
Today, I’m sharing a one layer Easter card using the masking technique. Masking is a stamping technique where you cover stamped images so that the other images may be placed over it to create an illusion of depth. The image you stamp first is the one that will appear on the front. The second image will look as though it’s partially behind the first.
To begin, I stamped the bunnies from Bunny Friends on thin printer paper. I cut them out with a scissor right on the line (see photo 1). Behind the images, I used a removable adhesive tape.
I placed a trimmed Bristol paper inside a Misti Stamping Tool, and stamped the first bunny and flowers (see photo 2). I covered the stamped image with the paper mask, and I used the Molotow Masking Liquid on the flowers (since it would be more difficult to create paper masks for them). I continued masking and stamping until I had all the images stamped.
To add color to the panel, I die-cut trimmed paper with a die from the Scallop Borders 2.
I covered the top of the panel with the die-cut paper and inked the bottom with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. After, I spritzed it with water for texture. I then covered the bottom and inked the top of the panel with Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks. I spritzed it with water as well as splatters of diluted Peacock Feather Distress Inks. Finally, I removed all the paper masks and colored the images with Copic markers.
I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark Ink from the Easter Friends stamp set, and embossed it with white embossing powder. Then, I die-cut the panel with Stitched Notes Dies. To finish, I mounted the panel to a top folding card.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek of the Bunny Friends stamp set!
Good morning friends! Heather here this morning with a peek at some of the newest goodies from Pretty Pink Posh! This new release is amazing – and if you are ready for Spring – it is PERFECT!
Today I’m featuring the exciting follow-up to the uniqueSparkle Dot Patterns 1 stamp set from a previous release. That’s right! The new release includes Sparkle Dot Patterns 2! I’m also using SEVERAL of the new dies from the release, and some of the gloriously sparkly new Jewels!
There are several patterns in the Sparkle Dot Patterns 2 stamp set – but I noticed that the smaller egg shape was a PERFECT fit for the Decorative Egg Dies! I stamped it in a soft colored ink on my die cut solid egg, then filled it in with Pink Blush, Spring Green, Pansy Purple, and Lemon Drop Jewels. One little Sea Glass Jewel snuck on there as well by accident – can you spot it? I added the scallop edge tucked behind and adhered with a bit of foam adhesive for more dimension.
Next I created a background using the new Stacked Edges 2 Dies and some soft watercolor pattern paper from a 6×6 MFT paper pad. I layered them on a panel of white cardstock, and added a white frame with the ever classic Scallop Frames Die. I then die cut Happy Easter Script Die – also a new die – from white glitter cardstock, as well as white cardstock, and layered them together for a bit of extra dimension. I adhered those onto my pattern, wrapped some twine around the bottom of the card, and added my sparkly egg underneath!
The Sparkle Dot Patterns 2 – like the first one – are so fun and versatile! You can use these new jewels, but also sequins, Nuvo Drops, or whatever your imagination can think of!
Hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek! Join us tomorrow for another look at a new stamp set!
Hello everyone, Joni here sharing a sneak peek of the new upcoming March 1st release. For this project I used the new Best of Luckstamp set and Best of Luck coordinating dies.
Just showing you the images I picked. I colored using Copic Markers.
Next, I die cut the word “happy” from the Happy Easter Script die. After I covered the stamp image “happy” and gold heat emboss the word “St. Patrick’s Day”.
Next, after die-cutting the word happy, I colored it with Copic Markers.
Next, I added this beautiful die from the Stacked Edges 2 die set.
I also added the new Spring Green Jewels & Shamrock Jewels. You guys are going to love these!
I hope you guys enjoyed today’s post! Join us tomorrow for another look at a new stamp set.
Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here this morning with a peek at some of the new goodies from Pretty Pink Posh that release on March 1st! This new release is amazing – and if you are ready for Spring – it is PERFECT! Today I’m sharing a card using the newest floral stamp set – Cherry Blossoms, along with a new sentiment set called Encouraging Greetings, and some of the fabulous new Jewels, all with the super popular Hummingbird Thanks from the last release tucked in there!
Now I went a little flower crazy on this card – but when I think of cherry blossoms, I always think of fluffy clouds of pink blossoms in huge clusters, so I couldn’t resist recreating that feeling on a card! I stamped each and every one of the flowers from the new stamp set 2-3 times each on white cardstock, and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Coloring these up came together super quickly, since I just blended Distress Oxide ink in Abandoned Coral over each one, keeping an ombre design for some depth. Then it was just a matter of using the coordinating dies to cut each one out.
I then arranged the flowers in a design I was happy with on some white woodgrain cardstock, then used Press and Seal (a Jennifer McGuire trick!) to press over the top, pick up the entire arrangement, turn over and apply adhesive, and then press into place. Easy peasy! I added a good sprinkling of Spring Green and Aquamarine Jewels around the edges.
I also stamped and heat embossed my hummingbird and sentiment in clear on white cardstock, and did some ink blending on these as well. For these I used Twisted Citron and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks. I used the coordinating Hummingbird Thanks Dies to cut out the hummingbird, and simply trimmed my sentiment into a banner shape using my paper trimmer and scissors. Attached those with foam adhesive – and it was finished!
Hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek! Be sure to continue to join us for more sneak peeks of the upcoming release!
It’s Justine Hovey visiting the Pretty Pink Posh blog for my monthly video. Today, I created a shaker card with some heat embossed acetate. If you know my style, you know that I love colour, but I’m not a massive fan of colouring. I wanted to find a way to incorporate gorgeous colours with stamped images from a variety of Pretty Pink Posh Stamp Sets: Hummingbird Thanks, Pretty Petunias, Butterfly Friends (releasing in May) and Love Sentiments. I stamped them in Versafine onto heat-resistant acetate and embossed the images in white.
Good morning! Heather here this morning to share another Something Old, Something New card with you – basically mixing together both newer products, and older ones – to show how AMAZINGLY well Pretty Pink Posh products work together! Today, I’ve used one of my first PPP stamp sets – Birdie Friends, paired up with a die that released about a year and a half ago called Stitched Pieces. I added a sentiment from a newer set from last summer called Summer Friends.
I started off by stamping the cute little row of birdies, die cutting them with the coordinating Birdie Friends Dies, and coloring them in a rainbow of Copic colors. I added some details with a white gel pen for interest.
Next up, I used a leftover die cut from Stitched Notes that I had on my desk, and then die cut Stitched Pieces from the center of that panel. I stamped my sentiment in the center of one of the negative pieces.
I then turned that panel into a shaker element – but only did that to the top and bottom portion of the Stitched Pieces. I filled it with Sparkling Clear 3mm sequins, and adhered it onto some rainbow plaid pattern paper.
Finally, I added the birdies with foam adhesive, and added the sentiment piece with a double layer of foam adhesive to pop it out of the center. I also attached it at a bit of a jaunty angle – just so a bit of the plaid paper peeks out from behind it.
While this card doesn’t technically have a “sun” on it – everyone knows that you can’t have a rainbow without the sun! I can’t help but think this card would cheer anybody up – don’t you think?
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!
Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a 3 Cards 1 stamp set video for you all using the Birthday Friends stamp set. Everyone always needs birthday cards and what’s better than being able to make three cards super quick and easily with the same stamp set? I’ll also be using the Love Shaker die and the Sparkling Clear Sequin Mix to finish off my cards.
To start off all my cards today I stamped, coloured all my images with Copic Markers and die cut them out using all the coordinating dies. I used a colour scheme from Pinterest as colour inspiration to colour in all my images. Then coloured my balloons rainbow for a separate card. Now that all my images are ready, I can move on to creating my cards.
To begin my first card, I pulled a piece of watercolour cardstock out and ink blended some Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry onto the bottom of the panel. Then I flicked some water over top to create the splatter look. I then dried it off with my heat tool and set it off to the side. Next, I took the Love Shaker dies and cut three out of some white cardstock. Then, I used an exacto knife and cut away the ‘Love’ word from the centre, so I’m left with three heart frames.
Next, I added a thin strip of foam adhesive around each of the frames and then adhered them around my card. I cut off the excess around the outside with scissors. Then, I added foam tape onto the backs of all my images and adhered them down inside of the heart frames. Lastly, I white heat embossed the ‘Birthday Wishes’ sentiment on a strip of black cardstock, cut the end at a diagonal and tied a small bow on the other side of the sentiment. I then added foam tape on the back and adhered it on the top right-hand side of my card. That finished the first card, now let’s move onto the second.
For my next card, I pulled all my rainbow balloons out and set them off to the side. I then made a make shift cloud mask/stencil that I just created with scissors out of some post it tape. I just drew a cloud border on the tape and cut around it with scissors. I then cut down a top folding card base, adhered it down onto my work surface and ink blended over the stencil with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, then I moved up the mask, ink blended over it again and continued up until I ink blended over the entire panel.
Once I ink blended over my card base, I went ahead and added foam squares all along the back of my images and adhered them down into place onto my card base. Lastly, I stamped down the ‘Birthday Wishes’ sentiment in the bottom left hand corner with black ink and that finished up my second card.
For my final card, I started off with another top folding card base, and masked off the edges with some ¾” painters tape to create a rectangle in the middle. I then went ahead, and ink blended some Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink over my entire panel. Once I ink blended over the entire panel, I removed the painters tape and used a white gel pen to do some dots on the background, just to give it a little extra.
I then added foam tape onto the back of my images and adhered them down at the bottom of the ink blended area. Then, I stamped the ‘Birthday Wishes’ stamp set in black ink at the top of my panel and that finished up my third card.
To completely finish all my cards off, I scattered some Sparkling Clear Sequins around my cards and adhered them down.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed and were inspired!
Hello Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I am sharing a video tutorial showing how to use the Sparkle Dot Patterns 1 stamp set(the 2nd set is releasing in March!).
This is a very clever stamp set that has been designed to help you align and evenly space any tiny embellishments on your cards. Each little circle dot represents a space for a sequin, or confetti piece, or little enamel dot, or jewel (we have these coming in our next release!). If you’ve ever tried to arrange tiny embellishment to form some sort of a pattern you know that it never works and the object, or shape, or pattern ends up looking wonky.
So you are probably wondering how does this stamp set work? Let me show you. I used a panel of white woodgrain cardstock for my cards today (and also a plain white panel), I love to use this paper for clean and simple projects that feature a lot of white space. Normally, I never stamp on this paper, because of it’s texture, as you’ll never be able to get a good enough impression, but since I didn’t really need a good impression, these stamps need to be used as a guide only I was safe using this paper and stamping on it.
Watch my video tutorial below to learn how I made this card.
It’s best to use a light color of ink for your stamping so that the stamping will remain invisible under your embellishments. I used a very light gray ink. If you stamp onto colored cardstock you can use a watermark ink for a barely visible impression. It’s best not to use black as it might be visible even under the darkest color sequins and it will surely show through white.
Another must have tool for this technique is a pick up tool. I used a Crystal Katana tool– I always use it when I work with tiny embellishments, it really is a must have as it’s not that easy to pick up little piece with your fingers and position them properly on the project. There are other tools similar to this one, so you don’t have to use this exact tool, but just any tool that will help you pick up the pieces and place them exactly where you need them.
After adhering my confetti in place I set my panel aside to dry for a few minutes and worked on a sentiment as well as a floral cluster. I stamped flowers and leaves using images from the Autumn Blooms and Bold Blooms stamp sets and grouped them together into a tiny floral arrangement.
I also white heat embossed sentiments onto black cardstock using messages from the Birdie Friends and Winter Woodland stamp set and foam mounted onto the card.
I had tons of fun making these Clean & Simple projects and I love how easy it was to create fun shapes using my sequins with the help of this stamp set. I definitely see myself using it over and over again for all sorts of cards!
Liz here sharing a card using these adorable Cupid Friends set from Pretty Pink Posh to make this Tic Tac Toe card with a mini shaker in the center. Also, I used theCoordinating Die to help me cut these cute images after I colored them.
For this card, I started off by using 3 shades of distress ink for the background (Festive Berries, Worn Lipstick, and Spun Sugar). Afterwards, I sprayed a mixture of water and perfect pearls over the entire background.
Next, I grabbed this adorable Love Sentiments setand randomly embossed several hearts using white embossing powder. Love the variety of hearts.
To create the mini little shaker, I ended up die cutting black card stock and white fun foam using the Tic Tac Toe die. Than I placed a little square acetate in the center before gluing the white fun foam down.
Today I’m featuring the exciting follow-up to the unique
