Hi friends, it’s Debbie here today for Stencil Theme Week! My stencils that I chose to play with is the Layered Umbrellas Stencils along with the new Watercolor Rectangle Mask Stencil.

I started off with a 5X7 inch panel on a grip mat, placing the Watercolor Rectangle Stencil over the center and ink blended on Marine Blue Ink. Then I took the mask for the rectangle and sprayed on some Pixie Spray so it will hold in place over the inked watercolor panel. Then placing on the layer A over and with a small ink brush I blended on colors – Light pink, light yellow, light teal, and violet. I didn’t find it necessary to mask off each area with the small brush. Because it was a 5X7, I did some creative stenciling. But this was really easy to do! I slide the stencil over and with the last umbrella that was inked up on the right, had another umbrella over it but not perfectly aligned. Next was the Layered Umbrella Stencil B, aligned up and add a slightly dark ink of the same colors. Layer C was the umbrella handle so I used a light gray. Then with the last layer D I did a teal for the water drops.

I then decided I wanted in the blue rectangle some darker blue splatter on it. So I placed the Watercolor Rectangle stencil back over and splattered on along with Pixie Dust for some shimmer.

Then, I die cut out the Umbrella Shaker Die from a solid pink and pattern paper. I knew that I wanted to have the umbrella turned over to add the adorable ducks from the Baby Animals stamp set. So I stamped them up and copic colored the images. And then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.

Of course the duckies would be splashing some water out of the umbrella. I found the perfect droplets from Spring Chicks Stamp Set. Colored the water up and with the coordinating dies die cut them out.

With the Easter Greetings Stamp Set, I stamped out the Happy Spring sentiment with black ink and die cut it out with the coordinating dies.

Trimmed the panel down so it could be matted, and had a little mishap with the trimmer. It has been a while since I’ve used a punch, but I had to use a rounded corner punch. Adhered it all down, with the images popped up with foam squares. 

Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty my friends!

Hello Everyone! Welcome to Day 4 of Stencil Theme week! It is Zsofi here today with a delicate design for Mother’s Day, but if you change up the sentiment it can fit any occasions. Let me show you how you can achieve a layered look with one single stencil.

For today’s technique I chose the Peonies stencil as it has a few flowers and leaves all in one. To lift it to the next level, I used woodgrain cardstock as the base, so it will have a texture after applying the colours. Before starting the stenciling, I created some masks for the flowers: I simply stencilled them with any ink on masking paper and cut around the edges with my scissors. I usually keep these masks together with my stencils for future cards as they can be reused many times. 

For the first card I used Pink Raspberry and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide inks for the peonies and Rustic Wilderness for the leaves. I wanted a vertical design and used only the 3 big flowers, masking each after applying the colour. I started with the one in the middle, inkblended the stencil then removed it, covered the flower with the mask, placed the stencil back and added the second flower and so on. When all 3 were covered, I used the leaves parts of the stencil to add the greenery.

For the second card I went with a horizontal layout, used the 3 big flowers the same way as above just with Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord Distress Oxide ink. I also added the little buds to the corners. For the leaves I blended in Pine Needles Distress Oxide ink. The best part of this masked stencil technique is when you remove the masks to reveal your flower arrangements. So pretty! 

I cut both panels down to be a bit smaller than an A2 sized card front and gave them a dark green mat. For the sentiment, I used the Mother’s Day Script die and cut it from gold metallic cardstock. I used liquid glue with a precision tip to adhere them on the card fronts.

As a finishing touch I went over the dots of the flower centres with a black glaze pen, it makes them shiny and slightly 3D. 

I hope you liked this card idea and got inspired. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon, Zsofi

Hi friends! Sophie here and today I am celebrating stencil week with a card featuring the Layered Bows stencils. Bows are *so* my thing and this makes a beautiful layered bow pattern! Let’s dive in.

I decided to try something new for me – a monochromatic color palette. For my card I used the stencil set on pink cardstock with coordinating pink ink. I am making this card for my grandmother’s birthday later this year and she is turning 80 so I used the Number Candle stamps and dies to add a special touch. I love this set because you can customize cards for the recipient and it makes it feel extra special. 

For the “Make a Wish” sentiment I pulled out an oldie but goodie set called Simple Sentiments. There is such a wide array of sentiments on this set it is a go-to for me! The circle comes from the Eyelet Circles set. To finish off my card I used a scattering of my favorite Sparkling Clear sequins! 

I hope this was inspiring for you! I’d love to know below – do you like stenciling? Bye for now! :)

Hello friends! It’s Mindy here, and today I’m excited to share a fun birthday project featuring the new Watercolor Oval stencil. I love how versatile this stencil is — it’s perfect for almost any theme you can dream up, and I can’t wait to show you how I used it to create a bright and cheerful birthday card!

I thought using it as a soft, colorful background for a yummy birthday cupcake would be the perfect way to kick things off — and it adds just the right touch of fun and celebration!

I started by placing the stencil over an A2-sized card front and softly ink blending with a light shade of pink ink, but you could definitely have fun and use multiple colors for a more playful look too!

Leaving the stencil in place, I added some texture by splattering Distress Spritz in Antique Linen and Kitsch Flamingo over the background for a fun and playful effect.

Next, I created a sweet cupcake using a mix of the Big Valentine Cupcake and Big Birthday Cupcake die sets, adding a touch of ink blending to the die cuts for a little extra depth and dimension.

I popped the cupcake up with foam tape and added a touch of Star Dust Stickles to give it a sparkly, festive finish!

For the sentiment, I combined the large “Celebrate” die cut from glitter cardstock with a smaller heat embossed sentiment from the Party Time stamp set for a fun, festive touch!

What a great way to draw attention to the focal point of our card! It really helps everything come together and makes the card feel extra special!

Thank you all for joining me today!

Hi friends, it’s Christina! Today is day one of Stencil Theme Week here at Pretty Pink Posh, and I have an adorable inspiration project to share with you. I chose one of my all-time favorite stencils for this project, the Layered Onesies. Those little white onesies on kraft cardstock are just the cutest!

Layered Onesies Stencils
Onesie Shaker Dies
Baby Basics Stamp Set
Baby Basics Coordinating Dies
Streamer Dies
Evergreen State Shaker Beads
Stargazer Clay Confetti
Sentiment Strips Dies

Let’s start with the background. On a kraft cardstock panel measuring 4 x 5 ¼ inches, stencil the onesies. Use a white pigment ink for the first layer, let that dry for a little while, and then use Distress Oxide Inks for the second layer. The colors I used were Cracked Pistachio, Tumbled Glass, and Uncharted Mariner. I alternated colors for each row of onesies.

Next, die cut the fishtail banner streamer from the Streamer die set from white cardstock two times. Then die cut the coordinating banner pieces from mint green, light blue, and navy cardstock. Assemble these and attach them to your background panel.

Time to create the shaker! This is an easy shaker assembly. Die cut the Onesie Shaker frame eight times from mint cardstock. Die cut the whole onesie once from mint green cardstock for the base of the shaker and once from clear acetate for the shaker window. Sandwich the acetate between two of the onesie frames, securing with liquid adhesive, and stack the remaining frames behind it to create the walls of the shaker. Fill the shaker with shaker beads and attach the base to complete the shaker. Easy! Secure the shaker on your background panel right over the streamers and add a white heart detail. 

Let’s finish up this shaker card! Stamp the baby blocks from the Baby Basics set on the coordinating cardstock colors with clear embossing ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Die cut them and attach them to your card panel. I attached each of my blocks slightly offset for a whimsical touch. Next, heat emboss the partial sentiment “welcome little” from the same set with white embossing powder on navy cardstock. Die cut it with a sentiment strip and attach it above the blocks to complete the sentiment for the card. Finally, add a few clay stars for embellishment.

And that completes this new baby shaker card featuring the Layered Onesies Stencils set. Be sure to check out all the incredible inspiration during Stencil Theme Week here on the blog! 

Hello, Gemma here today to share a graphic card featuring just one product – the new Build an Egg die set.

I die cut 4 of the smaller size eggs from the Build an Egg die set, decorating them with an ombré of the same colour along with pearl white sparkle card details.

Next, I cut a panel of 6×6” card, along with 4 panels of pale coloured card stock, each 3×3” square. I adhered these to the card panel in a grid pattern, then trimmed along the edges to tidy it up. I then adhered it to a square card base.

I added each decorative egg in the centre of the corresponding background colour on the card. I used liquid glue, so it’s easy to mail, but you could use foam tape if you prefer more dimension.

I kept the front sentiment free, so will add one on the inside of the card instead.

Thank you for joining me here today!

Hello, Crafty Friends, Jill here! Spring is finally here, and with it comes the excitement of fresh creative possibilities! I am happy to be here today to share this sweet little Spring card with you all! This season’s release of stamps and dies will bring a burst of fresh charm to your crafting, with the new release full of flowers, bunnies, eggs, chicks and all things spring!. 

I thought it would be sweet to use these tiny flowers from the Build An Egg die set and create a card to celebrate the season. In order to feature small dies and have them not be lost on a card, it’s always a great tool to have smaller canvases within your card to create on. Plus, I love the Stitched Photo Frames, so I was excited to have a perfect opportunity to use them.

I decided to blend a bit of ink to the inside of the photo frames to create a backdrop for the sweet little flowers. I thought these little scenes turned out delightfully clean and springtastic! The sentiment is from the Easter Greetings set and the frame is from the Eyelet Rectangle Dies.

This new Pretty Pink Posh release of dies and stamps is a must-have for any crafter looking to create fresh, spring projects. The versatility, sweetness, and creativity these products offer will help you bring your ideas to life with ease. Whether you’re making cards, tags, or sweet little scenes, you’ll find what you need to create your own spring masterpieces. Let your creativity blossom this spring!

Thank you for joining me here today and enjoy the season-

Jill 🙂

Hello, Gemma here today to share a fun Easter card featuring the Bunny Holder from the March release.

I began by die cutting the pieces from the Bunny Holder. I also added some cheeks to the bunny, using a die from the Halloween Mug Additions die set.

On a mini slimline card base, I stamped a sentiment from the new Easter Greetings stamp set. Below this, I adhered the bunny so just the head and shoulders would be on the card. I trimmed away the rest.

Next, I die cut lots of mini Easter eggs, using dies from the new Easter Holder Additions set. I adhered these to the card around the bunny and sentiment, keeping the top part of the card clean and simple.

I hope you found this project inspiring!
