Cards

Hi there, Suzy here featuring some of the new March release. This Peacock Friends stamp set is just beautiful and I don’t think I’ve seen another peacock stamp set, so fairly original too! I used the two birds, but not the feathers on this card. I also used a set of leaves from the new Spring Wreath set.

I made the background with a SSS Tiny Dots stencil, Texture Paste, and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink – there are directions and details on this blog post about making backgrounds ahead of time (installment 3). I die-cut the bottom section using the Scallops Border 1 die. I used Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron with a Ranger Blending Tool on it.

I stamped the peacocks from the Peacock Friends stamp set using MFT Natural Ink on white cardstock. I colored them in with colored pencils (both Prismacolors and Polychromos). I colored them with one color and then added little lines of several other colors to mimic the look of feathers. I used a black fine tip marker for the eyes.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello friends! Angelica here, and I’m so excited to share with you a few cards featuring new products from Pretty Pink Posh Mach Release. Today I am focusing on a couple new dies. Let’s get started!

How beautiful is this butterfly? The Bold Butterflies die set comes with two butterflies. I used the larger of the two to make this first set of cards. I added double-sided adhesive to the back of several colors of card stock, sticking to a pinkish-peach-coral theme. I die- cut all the colors with the butterfly. I also die-cut 4 dark pink butterflies with no adhesive on the back. I traced the butterfly onto two pieces of white card stock, then cut the shapes out a bit smaller than the traces. I glued the white shapes to the backs of the pink butterflies. Next I started filling in the wings with cuts from the other die-cuts. Putting adhesive on the backs of the yardstick before cutting made this process easy and clean.

After I finished filling in the wings, I used a shimmer pen to add sparkly to all the different colored card stock. I attached the top pink butterfly by gluing only the body, and then bent the wings slightly. I die-cut the butterfly two more times out of black glitter paper, and fussy cut the bodies away from the wings. I glued the black bodies onto the top. To assemble the card, I used the rectangle die from Stitched Notes die set to cut Neenah Desert Storm paper. I stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder a sentiment from the new Peacock Friends stamp set. I added the rectangle to craft foam, then attached the panel to an A2 card base. I glued the butterfly above the sentiment.

I made the second butterfly exactly the same for the second card. For the background, I blended a bit of Scattered Straw Distress Oxide ink onto white card stock to give the butterfly a nice glow. I stamped a sentiment from Birdie Friends with black ink, and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

My second card showcases the gorgeous Spring Frame die. This is the first large frame die with a design for Pretty Pink Posh. Isn’t it beautiful?

I die-cut this frame two times out of white card stock. Next I pulled out a rainbow of Copic Markers and started coloring. Once I finished coloring, I used my paper trimmer on the second die cut to trim off all the flowers and leaves and glued the frame onto the colored paper.

On light blue card stock I stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder a sentiment from Simple Sayings: Life stamp set. I then blended Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink around the edges. I glued the blue card stock to an A2 card base. I added foam adhesive all over the back of the colored frame, and attached it to the card base.

My final touch was adding a few Sparkling Clear Jewels around the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to check back tomorrow to buy the new release bundle and see the reveal of all the new products!

Hello, Gemma here with another sneak peek to share with you all. Today I have a card featuring the new Spring Wreath stamp set. This pretty wreath is so fun to colour and is large enough to be the perfect focal point on a card.

I began by stamping the wreath image with clear embossing ink, then heat embossing with pale gold metallic embossing powder. I coloured the wreath with my zig clean color real brush pens, choosing a fresh spring colour palette. I then die cut the wreath with the Spring Wreath coordinating die.

On my card base, I layered a panel of white woodgrain card, then added a 2” wide strip of patterned paper.

I stamped the greeting from the Spring Wreath set on the patterned paper, then adhered the die cut wreath to the card with foam tape. For a finishing touch, I adhered some confetti from the new Easter Mix around the sentiment.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this sneak peek at the new Spring Wreath. Visit us tomorrow for a look at the new die sets coming on March 4th!

Hello everyone, Mayra here today. I am super excited to share with you a sneak peek of the beautiful new Magnolia Flowers stamp set that releases on March 4th.

I began my card by coloring in the lovely magnolia images. I used Copic markers. There are so many beautiful variations you can use.

I chose to use RV000, RV52, RV63, RV66, and RV69. I added a bit of YR30 to the center of each one along with a bit of YG00, and YG03.

For the leaves, I used G99, G94, YG17, YG03, YG00, and YG0000.

Next, I used the coordinating dies to die cut the flowers. I then added Distress Oxide Inks to what would be the base of my card. I began with Tumbled Glass then blended in Peacock Feathers. I added a couple of white and black splatters using a bit of water and acrylic paint.

To finish the card I used the lovely new Thinking Of You Script die. I die cut the phrase four times, glued them together and then added them to my card.

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek of the beautiful Magnolia Flowers stamp set. Hope you will join us tomorrow for another sneak peek.

Hello everyone, Joni here sharing a sneak peak of what is coming your way for the upcoming release for the Pretty Pink Posh. I am showcasing the new Easter Eggs stamp set and Easter Eggs Dies. The butterfly is also from the new set Beautiful Butterflies and the leaves, flowers are from the new Spring Wreath.

To begin I first distressed my white card panel with Distress Oxide, then splattered it with water and gold watercolor paint from Gansai Tambi Starry Colors. The grass were drawn using my Copic Markers.

The sentiment “happy easter” is also from Easter Eggs stamp set. I heat embossed the sentiment with Paper Source Embossing Powder in Gold Glitter.

For interest I added some new confetti mix called Friendship Mix really loving that.

For this easter card I also used the new Spring Frame die, which allows you to showcase your images.

I die-cut the panel on a white cardstock keeping it simple, to make the eggs be the center stage.

Remember the oldie but goodie “Happy Easter” from Happy Easter Script Die still in love with this font. The flower on the egg is from the new Spring Wreath stamp and dies. For the card panel I also distressed it with Distress Oxide to give it a nice pastel blue color.

In this card I also added the new confetti mix called Easter Mix.

I hope you guys enjoyed! Join us tomorrow for a look at another new stamp set!

Hello, Gemma here today. I’m excited to share with you a sneak peek of a fabulous new set called Peacock Friends. I think you’re going to love it!

• B00, B02, B05, B97 for the body and feather detail
• E43 for the legs
• Y15, Y17 for the beak and feather detail
• BG11, BG23, BG15, BG49, YG01, YG03 for the peacock feathers

I die cut him with the coordinating die, then added some white and black gel pen details and clear glitter pen.

Next, I worked on my card base, adding colour with distress oxide inks in evergreen bough, peacock feathers, and twisted citron. I blended these from darkest to lightest.

The set has two peacock feather stamps with beautiful detail, just perfect for embossing on acetate. I cut a panel of heat resistant acetate, the same height as my card base and about 2” wide. I treated it with an anti-static powder tool, before stamping the peacock feathers with clear embossing ink. I then heat embossed them with white embossing powder.

Next, I cut two pieces of white card, one 2 1/4 x 5 1/2”, and the other 5/8 x 5 1/2”. I adhered the embossed acetate panel between them, to make one panel the same width as my card base.

I stamped a sentiment from the Peacock Friends stamp set, then adhered the panel to my card base with foam tape. This gives some dimension, which helps the embossing on the acetate stand out even more against the colourful background.

Finally, I added my peacock image to the card with foam tape, to sit above the sentiment. I then adhered a few Blue Lagoon Jewels, which bring out the blue of the beautiful peacock.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek at the new Peacock Friends set. Visit us tomorrow for another sneak peek!
