Sneak Peek: June 2024 Stencils

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at two of the new stencils that will be released!

New release will be available June 10th

For my first card, we’re going into space with the Layered Shooting Stars Stencils – I used them with Interference Metallic Inks on black cardstock to create a shimmery, galaxy design. I also added some white paint splatter to add more of a space look. Using the Pierced Stars Die, I trimmed the stenciled background and adhered it to an A2 card base.

I stamped and colored images from the Outer Space Stamp Set and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I also cut different pieces from the Rocketship Shaker Dies and added my sentiment before adhering the rocketship and space images to the card base with a mixture of liquid glue and foam adhesive.

For the second card, we’re heading into a construction zone with the Layered Street Signs Stencils. I used masking tape to include lots of color detail with this stencil set using Distress Inks and Distress Oxide Inks to create the street signs in different colors. I added a little bit of black splatter and trimmed the panel to A2 in size and attached it to the card base.

To finish the card, I cut a black strip of cardstock with the Stitched Borders I Dies and embossed my sentiment in white before adhering to the center of the card. I stamped and colored images from the Construction Additions stamp set and cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. I layered the images onto the card base with different foam adhesive thicknesses so they really pop off the card.

I hope you enjoyed this peek into some of the new stencils. I’m so excited for you to see the rest of the release!

Sneak Peek: Sports

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a sneak peek at the new Sports stamp set from the upcoming June release. There’s a fantastic variety of different sports in this set. On my first card, I featured lots of these together.

New release will be available June 10th

I stamped out all the images and coloured them with copic markers. I’ve listed the colours used later in the post. I also used a red fineliner pen to add detail to the baseball.

For my background, I used the previously released Storybook 6 die. I layered this for dimension, adhered it on an A2 card base, then added some pattern papers in each of the window spaces.

Underneath the Storybook 6 die, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Sports stamp set. I then added the images to the card with foam tape

Copic colours

  • American Football E95-99, W0-1
  • Baseball N0-1, red fineliner pen
  • Baseball Bat E30-33, W0-1
  • Basketball E95-99
  • Football / Soccer N0-7
  • Rosette Y00 Y13-15
  • Stars R24-27, Y13-15, B63-66
  • Tennis Racket R24-27, N0-5
  • Tennis Ball YG01-03
  • Trophy Y00 Y11 Y15 YR23

For my second card, I focused on one sport. I stamped out the basketball, trophy and stars from the Sports stamp set. I coloured them with copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies.

Taking inspiration from the sentiment in the Sports stamp set‘You’re an all star’, I teamed the images with a holographic star, using a die from the new Stitched Stars set.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed these cards. Come back tomorrow for more sneak peeks!

Sneak Peek: Helper Vehicles + Utility Vehicles

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here to share some Sneak Peeks!  I’m super excited to be sharing these sneak peeks using Helper Vehicles stamps with coordinating Dies and Utility Vehicles stamps with coordinating Dies.  My sneak peeks are just a small glimpse into these fabulous sets because I did specific themes for each of my cards.  These sets are adorable and have you covered to make lots of celebration goodness! 

New release will be available June 10th

For my first card I’m using the super cute Helper Vehicles stamps with coordinating dies.  I stamped the images and colored them with an array of Olo markers.  For my background I did some partial stenciling with the new Layered Shooting Stars Stencils. I decided to make a shaker, so I cut a smaller panel to fit onto the A2 panel and die cut a circle from the smaller panel.  For the backdrop in the shaker, I used a fun new die set called City Buildings. I inked up the buildings with colors that matched the colored images from Helper Vehicles Stamps with coordinating dies.   I did a mixture for the shaker bits, I used Sparkling Clear MixIridescent Mini Star Confetti, and the new Stargazing Mix!

I arranged and adhered all the images to the card panel, but I needed a resting place for the adorable police cars and decided to use the road from the new City Buildings Dies.  I added lots of stars from the Big Celebration Cupcake Die set and the cute sentiment is from the Helper Vehicles stamp set, viola card done!  I think it turned out super cute.

For my second card I’m using the Utility Vehicles Stamps with coordination dies and I decided to focus on the adorable Postal vehicle.  I stamped and colored the images with an array of Olo markers.  For my background on the card base I used the new Layered Street Signs stencils.  My idea for the background is to resemble postal tape. And yes, friends it’s shaker time, I decided to make another shaker using the new Stitched Stars Dies!  I added the cutest new shaker beads called Patriotic Shaker Beads!  

I arranged the cute images from the Utility Vehicles Stamps regarding postal service onto my card and added lots of stars from the Big Celebration Cupcake Dies. The adorable sentiments are from the Utility Vehicles stamp set and so are the cute smiley faces!

Thank you for stopping by friends! Come back tomorrow for more sneak peeks! This release is chock full of CUTENESS for lots of occasions and super FUN!

Sneak Peek: Outer Space

Hello crafty friends! Davina here with some “out of this world”, sneak peeks, featuring the June Pretty Pink Posh release. This playful release is full of imaginative play themed sets like construction, first responders, and space. I made a pair of cards that feature some of the space theme products and hope that you are as excited as I was. 

New release will be available June 10th

Both cards were created using the Outer Space stamp sets with the coordinating dies, and they are both shaker cards, using the new Beach Day Shaker Beads. I felt like this color combo would be perfect for my space scenes and love the fiery gold and orange with the shades of blue.

For the first card, I started by die cutting my background using the Pierced Star Plate from Bristol Smooth Cardstock. I ink blended my panel with a blue gradient starting with a light aqua and finishing with a dark teal around the edges. After splattering with several inks, including gold, I put it aside to dry while i worked on the other components. 

I made the shaker element using the new Planet Shaker Die Set. I ink blended the center using the warm colors, and cut the ring from holographic cardstock. I filled the shaker about 1/3 of the way full for maximum effect. Next, I stamped and colored my images using copic markers and added white highlights and some glittery Wink of Stella accents. I backed my star panel with some starry patterned papers I had in my craft stash, and assembled the cards with the shaker in the center. I finished the card off with a sentiment from the stamps set, on a bold white banner. 

I loved the results so much I decided to make a second version of the card but with the new Rocketship Shaker die set, and the other images from the Outer Space stamp set. I backed this card in a dark navy blue version of the same patterned paper and used the larger more decorative sentiment from the set. I think the reflective holographic paper was absolutely the way to go with these shaker die sets, as the colors pick up so much from the copic colored images, and really bring the scenes to life. 

I hope you like this pair of cards as much as I do, and are inspired to stock up on the new release for these “out of this world” collection of products!

Thank you for stopping by, Davina

Sneak Peek: Construction Additions

Hi folks, Kavya here with some fun inspiration for the latest release! The new Construction Additions set pairs perfectly with the previously released Construction Trucks set.

New release will be available June 10th

My first card is inspired by blueprints using just a few additional old products that you might already have in your stash. I love how this one turned out! I started off my ink blending the brick wall stencil on soft warm gray cardstock. Then, I die cut blue cardstock out of Stitched Torn Rectangles die to create my ‘blueprint base’. I then stamped a house from Village stamp set using white dye ink and added some architectural markings using a white pencil. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Constructions Additions, Construction Trucks, Helper Vehicles, School Friends and Utility Vehicles to finish off my card.

My next card uses the new Construction Additions stamp set as well. I started off by ink blending blue and yellow ochre cardstock with coordinating dye inks to create my background.

I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Constructions Additions, Construction Trucks, Helper Vehicles, Utility Vehicles and Balloon Alphabet to finish off my card. I made it look like the crane was trying to carry the word ‘hugs’ and I think that looks just adorable! Love how this one turned out 

Hope these projects inspire you! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the June 10th release.

Happy crafting,
Kavya

Dad Box Card

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and it’s time for another box card! This time, we’re going geometric with adorable cats for Father’s Day. I started hot foiling the first part of my sentiment using the Hot Foil Large Dad Plate in a blue foil and used the Dad Shadow Die to cut it out. I also cut out two additional dies in white cardstock and glued all three layers together.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

I also cut the box card base from the Scallop Box Card Dies out of blue cardstock and I will cut out the scallop pieces after creating my own pattern paper. I stamped the medium sized hexagons from the Decorative Hexagons stamp set in a repeating pattern with different blue and teal colored inks. I then cut out each of the scallop pieces I needed from the Scallop Box Card Dies.

The new Baby Animals stamp set has adorable little critters with a bigger critter which will make an adorable Father’s Day card. My kiddo is really into cats right now, so I thought using the cats nestled together from the set would be perfect! I colored in my image with Ohuhu Art Markers and used the Baby Animals coordinating dies to cut it out.

For the rest of my sentiment, I cut Sentiment Strips Dies out of blue glitter, teal and white cardstock and stamped “it’s your special day” from Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set in blue ink. I layered all of the strips together to partner with my “Dad” hot foil sentiment. I assembled the box together and added all of my scallop pieces on the box card and popped up my sentiment pieces to my card base.

I added my cats to the center of the box card, but I did cut a second cat to adhere to the back of the cat when I glued it to the box card to give it more stability. I hope you like my take on a Father’s Day box card and I kept it a little more clean and simple this month.

Let me know what you think and if you’re enjoying this series!

Happily Ever After

Hello, Gemma here today to share a wedding card featuring products from the May release. This card uses dies exclusively – no stamping or colouring needed.

I chose a colour palette of pink, gold and soft white. I cut a panel of pink pearlescent card to cover my 6” square card base, then adhered a panel of pearlescent white sparkle card on top, slightly smaller to give a pink border around the edge.

Next, I die cut the Champagne Flute Shaker twice from gold glitter card. I used the inner piece to cut out the middles. I also cut the bubbles from the same gold glitter card.

For the centre of the glasses, I cut some pink patterned papers. I decided to trim the top of these pieces, but you could skip this step if you want to fill up the centres completely.

The sentiment is the new Happily Ever After Shadow die. I didn’t use the shadow piece on this card. I die cut the shadow from the same pearlescent pink card as the background. I also added two pink card layers behind for dimension.

I adhered the large word die to the card first, followed by the champagne flutes and bubbles to finish.

I hope that this card inspired you. Thanks for stopping by!

Pastel Little One

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back with a sweet baby card to share with you all. My card uses the Baby Mug Additions die set. I love that these dies coordinate perfectly with all the Mug dies and additions sets but can also be used on their own as I did here. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Pastel Little One

I started my card by using the Baby Mug Additions dies to die cut all of my pieces from white cardstock. I then used blending brushes and added color to all the individual pieces. Once the baby accessories were assembled I added a few white paint splatters and set them aside to dry.

Pretty Pink Posh: Pastel Little One

Next, I used the largest Eyelet Rectangle die for my card panel. I ink blended the panel with a soft lilac ink and then used a coordinating reinker to add a few ink splatters for a little added interest. I then used the Baby Basics stamp set to stamp my sentiment directly onto my panel. Lastly, I attached my Baby Mug Additions images to my panel with foam adhesive to finish my card. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Pastel Little One

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. These dies are just so sweet and all of the individual baby items can be used in such fun card layouts and designs. I know you will love them and I can’t wait to see what you create!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Congrats Graduation + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel today. I have a nephew who is promoting from Middle School to High School and he’s having a ceremony this year! I thought this would be a fun time to use his school colors to make a graduation card for inspiration for you today.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

Pretty Pink Posh: Congrats Graduation + Video

I started with doing lots of die cutting! I used the Graduation Cap Shaker Dies, the second largest Stitched Torn Rectangle Die, and a couple dies from the Big Celebration Cupcake Dies out of white, red, glitter red, blue and glitter blue cardstocks. My sentiment is hot foiled in sparkly red foil using the Hot Foil Congrats Script plate and I used the Congrats Shadow Die to cut it out.

Pretty Pink Posh: Congrats Graduation + Video

My graduation shaker was assembled with a piece of acetate and the Celebration Shaker Beads and I adhered it to my Stitched Torn Rectangle Die white background. I assembled the party wands and added those beneath the graduation cap and popped up my “Congrats” sentiment on top of them.

Pretty Pink Posh: Congrats Graduation + Video

This panel was adhered to my white, A2 card base with thin foam adhesive. I then added the different confetti pieces around the panel and adhered them to the card base with liquid adhesive. Honestly, this card turned out pretty USA looking – so you could probably replace the graduation cap and sentiment for something a little more patriotic if you celebrate the upcoming holiday!

Don’t forget: today is the last day to save 20% during the Memorial Day sale.

Berries & Butterflies

Hello everyone, it’s June here! Today I’m sharing a card featuring some old and some newer spring products.

If you know me, you know I love my strawberry themed cards. So I was beyond excited to revisit one of my favorite stamp sets after using so many of the newer products lately.

Pretty Pink Posh: Berries & Butterflies

I stamped the strawberries and the box from Fresh Berries in black ink, and used a brown ink for the leaves and the bow. I love combining inks to get a softer look on some images. I colored them in using my Copic Markers.

I hadn’t used the Butterfly Cover Plate Die from the newest release yet even though it was one of the products I was most excited for, so I thought now was the time to finally put it to its use. Butterflies and strawberries might not make perfect sense, but I think it works! I cut it out of some pastel pink cardstock because I didn’t think it needed a fancy ink blended background this time. To add some more detail however, I cut out a circle from the Eyelet Circle Dies to back my scene onto.

Pretty Pink Posh: Berries & Butterflies

I turned my butterfly panel into a shaker, of course, and I added a mix of different shaker bits to bring back the red and green of the strawberries. I used the Valentine Hearts Clay Confetti and some white and green pieces from the St. Patrick’s Day Clay Confetti

To finish off my card, I stamped the ‘thank you’ and ‘berry much’ sentiments from the Fresh Berries set onto some brown cardstock and embossed them using white powder. I cut out the scripted sentiment using its matching die and cut the rest of the sentiment into a strip.

Pretty Pink Posh: Berries & Butterflies

I adhered my berries and sentiment onto my card using foam tape for some added dimension and tadaa, the card is done!

I hope to see you again later this month with a new card, happy crafting! 👋🏻
