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!

Hello, Gemma here today sharing a card featuring the Cupcake Critters stamp set. This sweet set was part of the January release and I think it’s a must have for birthday and celebration cards.

For the colouring of my images, I took inspiration from a piece of patterned paper I wanted to use. I coloured the images with copics, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. To give the look of frosting on the cakes, I used a glue pen to draw over the images where I wanted the frosting to be, then dipped the images in some glitter. I also added some glossy accents to the cherry and candle, and sprinkled some glitter on top before it was dry.

Next, I adhered my paterened paper to the edge of my card. I then took a piece of white card and cut it down with one of the dies in the Scallop Borders 1 set. I’m reaching for these scallop borders more and more recently – it’s a great set to have in your collection.

I stamped a sentiment from the Cupcake Critters stamp set onto the white card panel, then used foam tape to add the panel to my card. As I’d used foam tape on the panel, I decided not to add anymore dimension and instead used liquid glue for the critters. Apart from the edge of the mouse, which needed a little foam tape where it sits on the patterned paper.

To finish, I added some of my favourite Pearl White jewels around the critters and sentiment.

Hi, there! Marge here and today I would love to share a delightful shaker card featuring the Crocus Flowers Set.

I started by watercoloring Crocus Flowers Set using some inks then I cut them all using Crocus  Flowers Coordinating Dies. Next, I ink blended A2 sized Bristol paper using Distress Oxide inks (Seedless Preserves, Spun Sugar, Squeezed Lemonade, and Fossilized Amber).

To make a shaker frame, I diecut Scallop Frames out of white card stock, then I adhered a piece of acetate film on back of it. As shown below, I placed Sequins, Jewels, and Seed Beads on the center of my inked panel first, then I foam mounted acetate window frame on them using Thin Strips Foam Adhesives.

I mixed a little mount of Sugar Plum Confetti Mix, Valentine Confetti Mix, Valentine Jewels Mix, 6mm Ballerina Pink, 4mm Ballerina Pink, 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads, Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, Purple Seed Beads, Cotton Candy Seed Beads and Midnight Black  Jewels to put them into my shaker.

Once I’m done with my shaker, I adhered the panel onto A2 card base, then I started to put my Crocus Flowers on the bottom and top right corner of the shaker using Mini Glue Dots and Square Foam Adhesives. For the sentiment, I stamped Floral Hearts onto white paper, then I simply cut it freehand to make a little tag. I added twine to the tag then I foam mounted it on flowers. I further embellished my card using twine ribbon, Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.
