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 calledSimple 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!
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!
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 theStreamer 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 theBaby 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 theLayered Onesies Stencils set. Be sure to check out all the incredible inspiration during Stencil Theme Week here on the blog!
To create this card, I began by die-cutting various elements from blue and neutral craft cardstock. The background was stenciled using the Cascading Stars Stencil and Distress Inks in Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans, and Chipped Sapphire, creating a stunning gradient effect. I assembled an adorable dog using the Dog Holder Dies. The Birthday Holder Additions Diescontributed a charming cupcake and candle, while the Streamer Dies added a party flair. The “wish” sentiment was die-cut from sparkly silver cardstock with a blue drop shadow, and “make a” was stamped onto a sentiment strip.
Layering was key to this design. I adhered the stenciled background to a dark blue stitched torn rectangle, then added the streamers, ensuring they aligned with the wonky stitched rectangle. To add a touch of shine, I splattered Faded Jeans Distress Spritz onto the background. The dog and cupcake were popped up with foam adhesive for dimension. I adorned the card with Blue Shimmer Confetti, strategically placed to cover any accidental smudges.
I’m absolutely in love with the tone-on-tone look and the playful pup that takes center stage!

You’ll witness the magic of these Pretty Pink Posh products and discover how to create a card that’s sure to bring joy. Happy crafting!
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.
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 setand 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 theEyelet Rectangle Dies.
This newPretty 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-
Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I might love candy even more than I love cardmaking so I’m delighted when the two things can come together like this chocolate foil egg card!
Creating foil wrapped “chocolate” eggs is super easy! You need die cut eggs like the one I used from the Easter Holder Additions set(or also the big ones from the Build An Egg set would be adorable). You need a little foil from your kitchen to wrap the eggs and a little alcohol ink to make them fun Easter colors! And don’t forget a sweet sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Easter 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.
Hey friends! It’s Mindy here and I’m so excited to share this fun and festive carrot shaker card—just in time for Easter! It’s the perfect mix of cute and playful, and I can’t wait to walk you through how it all came together.
To start off, I created a tone-on-tone background using the Springtime Borders stencil, then added a frame from the Scallop Frames die to ground my die-cut elements and bring the design together.
The Carrot Shaker is super versatile—you can use it to create a classic die cut or turn it into a fun shaker element… I decided to do both!
You can either stack multiple die cuts to build up your shaker element or use foam tape—and I’m sharing a super handy tip in the video for working with foam tape!
The extra flower at the top is from the Easter Holder Additions set, but there are so many great die sets from Pretty Pink Posh that include small images perfect for adding little details like this!
I hope you enjoyed today’s Easter inspiration and feel inspired to give these fun shaker cards a try! They’re such a joyful way to send a little springtime cheer.
I began by die-cutting my Easter basket and creating a pastel stenciled background using Distress Inks in soft, springy hues.
The layering stencils were key to creating the charming floral and carrot border. I used Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks to bring the designs to life. I then assembled my Easter basket with patterned paper accents. The Bunny Friends were stamped, colored with alcohol markers, and paper-pieced with pastel patterned paper for their eggs, adding a fun touch to mix in coloring and patterned paper.
After arranging the bunnies and basket, I stamped “Happy Spring” from the Easter Greetings set onto lilac cardstock. I then adhered all the elements to an A2 card base, using a mix of foam and liquid adhesive for dimension.
To finish, I added Rainbow Shimmer Confetti for a touch of sparkle. I’m absolutely delighted with how this card turned out and how well all the Pretty Pink Posh products work together! Happy crafting!
