Cards

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at two of the new stencils that will be released. It was hard to pick which two to create with first, but I absolutely love the new Half Stars Stencils and Layered Birthday Wreath Stencils so here are two cards with these stencil sets to inspire you today!

New release will be available February 7th

For the first card, I knew I wanted to use the Half Stars Stencils as I loved sharing the Half Hearts Stencils last month! I wanted to go with Earth tones for this card, so for the (A) stencil I did every other column of stars with Distress Oxides in Mustard Seed and Peeled Paint. Then I used Breakup Blue Lunar Paste for the (B) stencil.

When the stenciled stars were dry, I trimmed the panel to 4×5-1/4” and adhered it to a panel of dark blue cardstock cut to A2 in size, 4-1/4×5-1/2”. I used new dies from this upcoming release, Party Hats Dies and Happy Birthday Shadow Dies, to add some fun birthday elements to the card in coordinating colors. For some extra shine, I used some Mossy Green Confetti around the party hats!

Onto the brighter, second card! I couldn’t figure out the color scheme I wanted to use to stencil the Layered Birthday Wreath Stencils, so I just used all of them! For all three layers of the stencil, I used pinks, oranges, yellow, greens and blues of Distress Oxides. I used small brushes for the tinier details and masked when I needed to to get all the details colored in.

I really could not bear to cut any part of this stenciled wreath away, so I made a big card! My card base measures 5-1/2×5-1/2” and I used a 1/4″ corner rounder. I layered on a piece of blue cardstock with the same dimensions, before adding my stenciled panel. I trimmed it down to 5-1/4×5-1/4″ and used the same corner rounder.

Using coordinating colored cardstock, I cut out Birthday Candles and layered them together onto the card with foam adhesive. I also hot foiled the Happy Birthday Hot Foil Plates with gold foil and used the coordinating Happy Birthday Shadow Dies to cut the sentiment out. The sentiment was also popped up with foam adhesive under the candles.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of the new Half Stars Stencils and Layered Birthday Wreath Stencils. I hope you’re excited for this new release just as I was to receive these stencils to give you inspiration today!

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today, and I am excited to give you a sneak peek of the fabulous new dies releasing this month. There are so many!  I know you are going to love them. 

New release will be available February 7th

I am a HUGE fan of the Big Valentine Cupcake Die Set that released last month, and I was delighted to see another cupcake release this month in the same fabulous size and scale. The Big Birthday Cupcake Dies have so much to offer!  You’ll find a new cupcake shape, new cupcake wrap pattern, fabulous banner + sentiment, and fun extras.   

Using the new Big Birthday Cupcake Dies, I created a yummy cupcake with chocolate ganache and sprinkles on top.  And of course, a little birthday candle (from the Interactive Cake Dies) to top it off.  

The background was created using the Star Cover Plate and the Pierced Stars Plate. (Love them both!) Two of the star cut outs from the Star Cover Plate made perfect little cookies to sweeten the card just a bit more. And since this card is going to my niece, I personalized one of the new Party Balloons with her age by using the number dies found in the Graduation Mug Additions.

The finishing touch was the fabulous banner from the Big Birthday Cupcake Dies. 

Okay, I have to admit that when I first saw the Big Birthday Cupcake Dies, I immediately wanted to turn them into a giant stack of ice cream…so I did!  Say hello to card number two!

The only thing I needed to find was an ice cream cone…aaand the largest party hat in the new Party Hat Dies worked fabulously! :) (And just FYI, the Fruit Bowl Dies would be perfect for making an ice cream sundae. Definitely on my list of to-do’s!)

To create the cone, I die cut the party hat, and then I ran it back through the machine twice using the cupcake liner die to add the stitched detail. By rotating the die in the opposite direction with each pass I was able to create an overlapping stitched pattern.  The cute sentiment is the script portion of the new Happy Birthday Shadow Die. 

I also added glossy accents which makes the chocolate fudge dripping down look good enough to eat. This giant stack of ice cream wouldn’t be complete without a cherry on top, so I added one courtesy of the Valentine Mug Additions. Finally, the previously released Layered Confetti Stencils seemed the perfect way to add a little somethin’ to the background. 

For my last card I wanted to give you a peek of as many of the new die sets as I could, so I used them to create a fun birthday background.  This also shows how beautifully and seamlessly the dies all work together.

This card showcases the new Birthday Candles, Party Balloons, and Party Hats all of which come in a variety of shapes and designs, many with stitched details.  I also added stars from the Star Cover Plate as well as a small stitched star from the Big Birthday Cupcake Dies. 

For my sentiment I used the Happy Birthday Shadow dies again, but this time I used both layers. 

Thanks so much for joining me today!  I hope that my cards have gotten you excited for the may new dies releasing this month.  I’m curious…which die is your favorite??

Make sure to come back tomorrow to see more sneak peeks. You are going to love what’s coming up next!

Hello everyone!  This is Melissa and I’m here to share a couple of cards made with the adorable Patterned Presents stamps and coordinating dies.

New release will be available February 7th

On my first card, I stacked a trio of stamped and die cut Patterned Presents to adorn the center of my card.  I layered them over a die cut, vellum Wonky Stitched Square that was layered over a die cut Fall Circles bracket.  I love how vellum softens everything and creates gorgeous layering too!

My background was created using the darling Pierced Stars Plate that I had sponged yellows, pinks, and aquas over.  I then added a scalloped, decorative pop of pink patterned paper across the bottom of my card, cut using the Eyelet Borders dies. 

My sentiment is from the new Birthday Train stamp and coordinating dies and is layered over the cutest banner, cut using the new, Big Birthday Cupcake die set. This is a must-have die collection, with so many possibilities!  I added in a felt die cut bow topping my Patterned Presents and felt stars, all cut using the Big Birthday Cupcake die set. Such a fun card to create!

I’ve used the sweet Patterned Presents once again on my second card, beginning with the fun, and oh, so cute, Layered Birthday Wreath Stencils. I stenciled these images on a die cut Stitched Torn Rectangle, all of which created the most fun background for my Patterned Presents.  

I die cut my Patterned Presents from patterned paper and layered them over Scallop Ovals die cuts. I love that the Patterned Presents can be stamped and colored in, stamped in with solid colors, or die cut from patterned paper. There are so many fun ways to use this delightful stamp set!

To finish, I added in two sentiments, one uses the Patterned Presents stamp set and is stamped on a die cut Mini Tags and adhered at the top corner of my card. I added a die cut star from the Big Birthday Cupcake dies and a banner that contains my second sentiment, which is from the Party Time stamp set. I love how all of these creative February products combine so perfectly together…such a party!

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here!  First,  Happy 10^th Birthday to Pretty Pink Posh! I’m thrilled to share these sneak peeks using the Birthday Cupcakes stamp set with coordinating dies and Birthday Train stamp set with coordinating dies!  The images are fun and coordinate well with past products.  I absolutely adore these products!

New release will be available February 7th

For my first card I stamped, colored,  and die cut the images from the Birthday Cupcakes stamp set. I colored the images with Olo alcohol markers and added some white gel pen highlights.  For my background I took a A2 card panel and added some strips of cardstock using the Stitched Strips Dies. Once I adhered the strips to the card panel, I added a frame using the Wonky Stitched Rectangles Dies. I decided to add a few more elements to card, I pulled out a fun birthday set from last years release called Wish stamp set with coordinating dies.  This set coordinates perfectly with the Birthday Cupcake Set!  I adhered all the images to the card base.

To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the new Sentiments Strips Birthday stamps! I adhered the sentiment to one of my most used die sets, Sentiment Strips Dies! I added lots of clay confetti from the new Over the Rainbow Mix! I adhered the clay pieces to resemble a faux shaker and ta-da all done!

Now onto my second card using the adorable Birthday Train stamp set with coordinating dies!  This train is becoming a favorite of mine in my crafty realm!  I stamped and colored the images with an array of Olo markers.  For the background I took a A2 card panel and added some strips of cardstock using the Stitched Strips Dies. I then ran the panel through the die cutting machine using a brand-new product called Pierced Stars Plate Die, I love the extra texture it adds to the A2 panel.  I added a few faux black splatters to the top left corner and the bottom right corner. I adhered the images to the panel and decided I needed a frame. I used the Fancy Cake Dies and I love the way it framed the images.   

To finish card, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Birthday Train stamp set and adhered the sentiment to some layered Sentiment Strips Dies!  I added a few extra balloons from a fun birthday set from last year’s release called Wish stamp set with coordinating dies.  My last step was to add some white gel pen highlights and I absolutely love how this card turned out. 

Friends the release is amazing, it’s chock full of Birthday goodness! Lots of fun stuff, stay tuned for more sneak peeks, blog hops, and Instagram Hops all in celebration of Pretty Pink Posh 10^th birthday. I’m so grateful to be a part of this amazing celebration! Pretty Pink Posh has superb, fun, timeless products! Happy Birthday Pretty Pink Posh and many more to come!!!
