Hi Everyone! It’s Melody here today. I have a project to share created with the Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set and the Cherry Blossoms Coordinating Dies. I was so excited when Pretty Pink Posh added flowers to their product line and the new Cherry Blossoms are definitely a favorite.
Let’s start out by talking about the card front. I used the new Stacked Edges 2 Die. There are three dies in the die set and I am using the v shaped die for inspiration for the layout. I cut the die twice, once from white cardstock and again from black cardstock. I layered the die cuts in the middle of card, adding white cardstock at the top and a patterned paper on the bottom.
At the top of the card I stamped a sentiment from the Encouraging Greetings Stamp Set in black ink. Next I stamped the flowers and leaves on watercolor paper in white pigment ink and embossed with white embossing powder. The flowers and leaves are colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brushes.
When the flowers were dry, I die cut with the Cherry Blossoms Coordinating Dies. Once I was happy with the placement of the flowers and leaves I added them to the card front with glue and foam tape. In the center of each flower I added a Watermelon Jewels.
I love how this card came together and I hope you do too. Thanks for joining me today!
Today’s card video tutorial shows off how to colour your stamps without fancy crayons or markers! It’s Justine again, taking over the Pretty Pink Posh blog! I’m excited to be here with you again bringing you another video tutorial! Today I am using some of the fun new release stamps Cherry Blossoms and Encouraging Greetings! I am generally quite intimidated by colouring, so I always love to figure out ways to colour without needing a lot of colouring skills!
I hope you enjoyed the video tutorial and it helped explain how to make this fun card. If you enjoyed today’s video, feel free to check out my YouTube Channel. See you in April!
Good morning! Heather here this morning to share another Something Old, Something New card with you – the idea is to mix together both older and newer Pretty Pink Posh products – and to show you how AMAZINGLY well all of Pretty Pink Posh’s products work together! Today’s card is definitely not one to tackle unless you have a bit of spare time – but the results are SOOO worth the effort! Check out that SPARKLE!
So I started off by stamping the bottom border from Sparkle Dot Patterns 2 Stamp set on a panel of white cardstock repeatedly with soft gray ink. I did this so that once I finished the card, if I used a jewel too small to cover the dot, or misplaced it slightly, you wouldn’t see a black circle peeking out. It was also helpful for the Clear Droplets I added, since you can’t see it under there either.
Then was the slowest part! I add alternating rows of Aquamarine, Lemon Drop, and Watermelon Jewels. I filled in the centers of the pattern with 4mm Clear Droplets. I used alternating sizes of the jewels – mostly so I didn’t have to sort through for one size, or run out! My jewel picker was very helpful with placement. There are lots of options for adhesive – for this I used tiny dots of Glossy Accents. It was nice and sturdy to hold everything in place, and I like that since it dries glossy, it just adds to the look of the Clear Droplets.
Next up, I die cut a large Scallop Frame from aqua cardstock, then stamped and heat embossed my image fromEaster Blessings in the negative die cit so as not to waste anything!
I colored the image with Chameleon Colored Pencils, then die cut with the coordinating Easter Blessings Dies. I also die cut the Easter from Happy Easter Script Die twice – once from pale yellow, and once from white to adhere together with a glue pen for a bit of a more sturdy and dimensional sentiment.
These jewels are SOOO beautiful! They are super sparkly and fun in real life – kind of hard to fully capture in a photo.
I definitely think this is the longest I’ve spent on one single card in a while! I almost feel like I should frame it and use it as a decoration – haha!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!
Hi friends, Eloise here today to share a Easter themed card to share with you all. I’ll be using the brand new Bunny Friends set and Happy Easter Shaker Die to help create my window card today.
To begin my card today I first stamped my images out from the Bunny Friends stamp set onto some Neenah Solar White cardstock using black ink. I then used my Copic Markers to colour in my images using a spring colour palette. Once I finished colouring in my images, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I then set them off to side and worked on my main focal point. I first used the Stitched Notes Dies and cut out the large stitched rectangle from some Watercolour Cardstock and then used the Happy Easter Shaker die and cut the die out of the center of the cardstock. Once I had it cut out of my front panel, I laid the rectangle with the die cut egg over the top of a folded card base, adhered it down into the centre where I eventually want to adhere it and then laid over the egg die cut again, fit it into place where it fits perfectly, opened the card base up and ran it through my big shot machine again. Now I have all my layers to create my window card.
Next up, I cut a piece of acetate and adhered it down on top of my card base. Once I adhered this down, I realised I needed to ink blend on my card base, so I left the acetate on and also adhered my shaker die on top with some washi tape, then just ink blended some Twisted Citron Distress Ink over the top fading up to white like normal. Once that was ink blended on, I worked on my positive Happy Easter Shaker piece. I used an exacto knife and cut out the ‘Happy Easter’ wording and also the flowers and leaves at the bottom. This then leaves me the perfect frame. I then added adhesive onto the back and adhered it into place directly on my card base. I added foam tape onto the back of my rectangle piece, lined it up with the egg shape on the card base and adhered it down.
Now that my card base was ready on the outside, it was time to do the inside. I took some post it tape, cut it down to a hill shape and adhered the negative piece onto the inside of my card base. I then ink blended some Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress ink blending down into white, reversed the masks and did the same thing with the sky, only using Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean and blending, fading up to white. Now my background for my scene was ready, I could begin adhering. I added pop dots onto the back of my bunnies and adhered them down into place, making sure you could see all three from the front of the card. One they were adhered down I also adhered my flowers next to them using flat adhesive.
To finish up my card, I added some extra flowers from Bunny Friends onto the flowers on the die cut shaker piece and I coloured those in with coordinating colours I used earlier, then adhered them on with foam squares. Then, I also used the same greens as I did for all the leaves before and coloured in the remaining leaves. This would definitely be easier to do before I adhered it to the acetate, but for me it was an afterthought. Lastly, I replaced my front rectangle panel with another piece that I used some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink on, to replicate the card base I coloured as well. I decided this card didn’t need a sentiment also, so I left it sentiment-less and I feel like it worked perfectly with the design of card. But again, you could add one if you feel like you wanted too.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed and got inspired to create a window card. I love these designs so much especially for a card like this where you wouldn’t always need to write a long message. It works so nicely! Anyway, thank you again and I’ll catch you all next time!
Next, I cut white cardstock using the Happy Easter Shaker, then I cut the inner scripts out of it to make an egg shaped floral frame for bunnies. The frame was colored lightly with Tattered Rose and Twisted Citron.
I stamped a sentiment from the Easter Friends set on the upper left corner of the panel, foam mounted egg frame on the center using double sided square foam adhesives, then adhered cute images inside and around the frame.
Hi there, Liz here! Spring is here and with Easter around the corner, I’m still having fun using the new Bunny Friends stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh. I love it and it’s so much fun to play with it and create different scenes.
For this card, I started off by first creating the grass using the Scallop Borders 1 dies and used ink to color them (Jellybean – SSS and Mowed Lawn – distress) and put it aside as I wanted to create some clouds in the background.
I used the Stitched Borders 2(still one of my favorites) to create scallop clouds in the background. To get the blue shadow outline underneath the clouds, I basically die cut two borders and added Salty Ocean Distress Oxide to color them before putting them together. Repeated this again for the upper cloud and sky.
To give this card some dimension, I added foam mount underneath the top cloud panel before adding my scene. From there, I added the Picket Fence using white card stock along with the grass that I had put aside earlier. Next, I added these cute bunnies and flowers which I colored using my copic markers and decided to add a couple more little easter eggs from the Easter Friends set.
As the final touch, I decided to add some kites to the scene using the Fly A Kite set before adding some jewels in: Pink Blush, Aquamarine, and Pansy Purple to add some sparkles.
I hope you enjoyed this fun Easter card. Stop by tomorrow for the last day of the Easter Theme Week!
Hi Pretty Pink Posh Friends! Shannon joining you today with another creation for Easter theme week! For my card today I used the adorable new Bunny Friends stamp set. I’m seriously in love with the different little bunnies in this set! I also used some of the new dies!
I started with an A2 size piece of white cardstock and used one of the dies from the Decorative Eggs die set to create egg shaped openings for my bunnies to hang out in. I ran it through my die cutting machine 3 separate times but you could easily use 3 of the dies at the same time to achieve this as your just using the negative area.
I then used this panel as a guide on a white card base to figure out where to put my color. I laid it on top and made light pencil marks to give me a rough idea where to ink blend my colors so it would be behind my eggs. I then adhered this panel on top.
I stamped my sweet little bunnies and smaller images on separate white card stock, colored in using Copic markers and cut out using the coordinating dies, and adhered them over my colorful eggs.
For my sentiment, I wanted something a little bit colorful so I decided to cut off the easter sentiment from the Easter Egg Shaker die that I die cut from water color paper and used Zig real brush markers to lay a bunch of colors down and then used my water brush to blend the colors in a bit better.
Hello friends, Thi here! I’m so excited to share with you my card for Pretty Pink Posh’s Easter theme week. I had a lot of fun mixing two of my favorite Easter stamp sets, Easter Friends and the new Bunny Friends from the March release.
Let’s get to it! To start, I ink blended my background with Distress Ink in Abandon Coral and Antique Linen onto an A2 size piece of Bristol smooth cardstock. I splashed some water and lifted it up to get those water droplets then I took more Abandon Coral and mixed it with some water and splattered the ink with a paintbrush. I left this to dry and moved on some coloring and die cutting.
I colored images from both stamp sets, particularly a lot of eggs from the Easter Friends stamp set. My plan was to make an Easter egg hunt scene. After I colored all my images, I started die cutting them all as well as other pieces I needed for my scene.
First, I die cut a white picket fence using the Picket Fence Die. I decided I need two pieces of grass to create a fun dimensional Easter egg lawn. I die cut a taller piece of grass out of green cardstock using a die from the Scallop Border 1 Dies. I then cut a shorter piece using the Stitched Borders 2 die. The idea was to create a lawn where eggs may be laying out during an Easter egg hunt!
Once the background that I created earlier was completely dry, I heat embossed the Happy Easter sentiment with white embossing powder.
Tip: Make sure it’s completely dry before doing this otherwise you will have embossing powder stuck everywhere!
Finally! My favorite part: assembly time. I glued my white picket fence on with Ranger Multi Media Matte glue. I then adhered the bigger green grass piece on top of it. I popped up the shorter grass piece with foam tape. Then I decided to put foam tape on my three little friends so they stood out in the scene. Then I took a tape runner and stuck eggs everywhere! The entire piece was adhered to an A2 card base.
I love this card and I hope you do too! Thanks for stopping by!
Hello everyone! Lexa here and this week, Pretty Pink Posh is having an Easter theme week. I think it will be a perfect opportunity for you to find some inspiration for the upcoming holiday. Since PPP has many choices of Easter theme products, you’ll find many items you need! *wink*
Let’s get started with my Easter card. I use Easter Egg Shaker Dies as the vocal point of my card, I placed it in the center. I use watercolor paper to die cut the Easter egg and then color it with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor palete. After the paints dried out, I adhere it on top of thick transparent plastic for the window. Some small size Buttercream Jewels are also adhered with glossy accent to embellish the red flowers. I love how contrast the colors are. You must agree that these brand new jewels are to die for! They are super pretty.
As for the background of my card, I blended Mowed Lawn and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks for the grass and the sky. Those adorable bunnies (my ultimate favorite of the new release!) from Bunny Friends Stamp Set are stamped with Versafine black ink and I watercolor them with Distress Inks. What’s an easter card without those bunnies, right?! I used the cheerful Tutti Fruitti Sequins Mix inside the shaker Easter egg. I just love love love how it turned out. The happy colors are so cute!
Thank you so much for stopping by today, don’t forget to leave me some love if you like this card as much as I do. And also wait for tomorrow, we have more inspiration and wonderful ideas… stay tuned to the PPP blog.
At the top of the card I stamped a sentiment from the Encouraging Greetings Stamp Set in black ink. Next I stamped the flowers and leaves on watercolor paper in white pigment ink and embossed with white embossing powder. The flowers and leaves are colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brushes.
