Cards

Hi there, crafty friends! It’s Leica, and I’ve got a cozy square Christmas card to share using dies and a stencil from the new October release.

First, I grabbed a white card panel that’s 5 inches square. I made a pretty background using the Layered Winter Wreath and some green inks from Pigment Craft Co. To make things interesting, I added some splatters of gold paint.

Next, I put together a birdhouse using the Decorative Birdhouses dies from before. I glued it onto the card panel and added some Christmas trees from the Love From Afar dies. Then, I made a couple of cute birds using the new Holiday Birds dies. I gave them a little lift by sticking them on the card panel. I also included some greenery from the Holiday Mug Additions dies and a sweet little flower from the Winter Foliage dies.

For the sentiment, I cut out “Happy Holidays” in gold cardstock and the shadow in vellum. Finally, I glued the card panel onto a 5-inch square card base.

Thanks a bunch for hanging out with me today! Have a blast with your crafting!

Hello, Gemma here today with a card using one of my favourites from the October release – the Build a Stocking die set.

I love that there are so many different looks that can be created with the Build a Stocking die set. Change the colours, add some sparkle, switch the stocking toppers….so many possibilities! I decided on a colour palette of pink and navy, with gold sparkle accents.

There are backing layer dies for each of the size stockings, then decorative layers to add over the top. As it’s difficult to adhere anything on top of glitter card, for the spotty stocking I cut it from both navy and gold glitter card, so I could inlay the gold glitter spots. You could skip this step if layering over something non-glitter.

To add glitter stripes to the light pink stocking, I first adhered some double sided tape to the stocking, then covered with gold glitter.

On a 5.25” square card base, I adhered a piece of ivory speckled card, slightly smaller than the card base to give a border. On this, I stamped a sentiment from the new Holiday Stockings stamp set, using a brown ink. Next, I added some white glitter foliage, cut using the previously released Pine Sprigs die set.

Finally, I added the three stockings using some foam tape for dimension.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope this card inspired you.

Hello crafty friends, it’s Davina here. The beautiful October release from Pretty Pink Posh is available now and you will love it! This is the largest release ever, and full of so much good stuff to bring your winter and holiday projects to life. I created a tiered cupcake stand using the incredibly cute Christmas Cupcakes stamps and dies. I combined serial other new products and previously released items to being this fun card to life. 

I started by using the pretty Pierced Snowflake Plate on Bristol Smooth Cardstock, and inkblending an ombré citrus green background. Once it was completely dry, I trimmed it down 1/4 inch, to  make room for a striped patterned paper background layer. I stamped the cute cupcakes and colored them in before cutting them out with the coordinating dies. I used the cake stand from last summers Fancy Cake Dies to pile on my cupcakes, then I added a bow from the new Holiday Mug Additions. 

I wanted to add some small stamped details and I found all of the images, and a sentiment, that I needed from one older stamp set. The Holiday Envelopes stamp set from last year had all of the great snowflakes, pine boughs, and the holly with berries images that I used. I stamped some of these in colored ink, including the sentiment, and added them to my treats. Finally, I adhered my images to the inky background, using foam tape behind the cupcake stand, and added my sentiment to a cute scalloped banner from the Sentiment Strips Dies. 

There are so many wonderful new products to play with and so much inspiration to see. Make sure you hop along with both the New Release Blog Hop and then the Instagram Hop, to see how magically the Design Team used the products and for your chance to win!

Hello friends! It’s Leica, and today I’ve got a delightful Christmas shaker card featuring the Stocking Shaker Die as the star of the show. This card is a breeze to recreate, so let’s dive right in!

First things first, I took some pink cardstock and cut it into a large rectangle using the Eyelet Rectangles Dies. Then, I used the Stocking Shaker to cut out the center area of the stocking. I taped the edges of the stocking onto the pink card panel and added a piece of clear acetate to the back of the stocking shape. To create the shaker part, I attached foam tape to the back of the card panel and filled it up with the Christmas Tree Mix. For the back of the shaker stocking, I used a piece of red cardstock that I decorated with dots using the Mini Polka Dots stencil.

For the sentiment, I cut out “Merry” in silver glitter foam and stamped “Christmas” in black ink on the top part of the stocking. Next, I cut out a cute Christmas tree from green cardstock, glued it onto the acetate of the shaker, and added some dots using Liquid Pearl in White Opal.

I then cut a piece of patterned paper to fit an A2-sized card and elevated the eyelet rectangle on the card panel using foam. Finally, I glued the panel onto a standard A2-sized card base.

That’s the lowdown on my shaker card! Thanks a million for hanging out with me, and I hope you’re smitten with today’s card share. Have an absolutely wonderful day!

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be back to share a holiday card that uses the new Holiday Mug Additions die set. I love that this set can be combined with the original Winter Mug dies to give you so many possibilities! 

I started my card by using the Layered Candy Canes stencil set (2 layers) to create my card panel. I ink blended white pigment ink and Distress Oxide ink in Candied Apple onto a pink cardstock panel to create my background. 

Next, I used the Winter Mug dies along with the Holiday Mug Additions dies to create my mug and accessories. I die cut the pieces from white cardstock and used finger dabblers to add ink to each of the individual pieces before assembling. I then used the Eyelet Rectangle die to die cut a vellum rectangle for the center of my card. I attached my mug and accessories to my panel with foam adhesive. For my sentiment I used the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set along with the Sentiment Strips dies. Lastly, I added a few white paint splatters to my card to finish it off. 

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. I can’t wait to see what you create with these fun new products!!

Enjoy your day, Dana
