Sneak Peek: Decorative Pumpkins

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a sneak peek of the Decorative Pumpkins stamp set, part of the August release.

New release will be available August 7th

Sneak Peek: Decorative Pumpkins

Similar to the Birthday Balloons stamp set before it, this set has both outline and solid pumpkins in 3 sizes, along with decorative patterns and sentiments to add to the pumpkins. 

Using the solid outline pumpkins, I stamped them out in pinks, yellow and orange, then die cut them out with the coordinating dies. The pumpkin stalks are separate stamps and I found it easy to add these after the pumpkins were die cut.

Next, I added decorations to the pumpkins. I used the same inks for the patterns, to create a tone on tone look. On one of the largest pumpkins, I stamped a sentiment from the Decorative Pumpkins set in black ink.

I adhered a strip of patterned paper to an A2 landscape card base, then added the pumpkins. I used a mix of liquid glue and foam tape to get dimension. The sentiment pumpkin is popped up with two layers of foam tape.

I didn’t feature these on my card today but there are also images of Halloween pumpkin faces in the stamp set, plus two additional sentiments, making this a versatile set to add to your collection.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the August 7th release!

Sneak Peek: Halloween Cupcakes + Sentiment Strips: Halloween

Hello friends, Arsenia here! I’m super excited to share this fun sneak peek using the Halloween Cupcakes set and Sentiment Strips: Halloween sets. The cupcakes are super adorable. I adore Halloween crafting and my go-to color palette is pink and orange. Let’s get started!

New release will be available August 7th

First, I stamped and colored the images from the Halloween Cupcakes set with my Olo Markers. (O2.2, O2.4, RV0.1, V0.3, and V0.4) Next it was time to work on my background, I used a new super fun stencil from this release called Layered Spider Webs. I inked up the webs in a pink dye ink and the spiders in orange dye ink. I added some black splatters to the top left and lower right of the card panel. I decided to add the stitched frame from the Fancy Cake die set and of course I had to add some black splatters to the frame!

I needed a resting place for the sweet cupcakes, so I went to my stash and decided to use the super fun Spider Web die set from last year. I did the first layer of the web in black and the second in glitter cardstock and offset the two webs so the black web would appear as a shadow. I did a bit of fussy cutting to add a vellum behind the spider web.

I adhered all the elements to my card base and decided to add a few more embellishments. The ghosts and pumpkin are from a super cute new set called Boo to You. I added some googly eyes to the mummy cupcake, and lots of white gel pen highlights. Embellishments done!

The next and final step is the sentiment, and it was easy peasy with the new Sentiment Strips: Halloween and Sentiment Strips dies. Oh my word, the new Sentiment Strips are so FUN! For the first layer I used the medium scallop strip die in glitter card stock. The second layer is medium stitched strip die with pink cardstock, and the final strip was black card stock with white embossing.

Thank you so much for stopping by. You’re going to LOVE the new release- it’s chock full of lots of Halloween goodness!

Hi folks, Kavya here with a fun Halloween project using the latest release! No one can make Halloween cuter than Paulina. This release is absolutely adorable and I had a blast pairing it with a bunch of my favorite past Halloween products too!

New release will be available August 7th

Sneak Peek: Halloween Signs

I started off by stamping and coloring a bunch of images from the new Halloween signs stamps set. Then, I created my background by ink blending gray cardstock with black and used the Spooky Sky stencil to ink blend a starry night sky. Then, I adhered all the stamped images and added diecut Spider Web and Large Boo Script to finish off my card!

Bright Birthday Shaker

Hello hello! It’s Leica here today on the PPP blog. I’ve got a fun birthday card to share with you and the color palette of my card is inspired by the Party Swirls Clay Confetti. Blue, pink, and purple – I love these colors together! 

Bright Birthday Shaker

I first started by ink blending through the Streamers Stencils with Milled Lavender, Spun Sugar, and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks. I then cut the frame from the Fancy Cake Dies in purple cardstock and made a shaker card by adding acetate and foam tape onto the frame. I filled the shaker with half a teaspoon of Party Swirls Clay Confetti.

Bright Birthday Shaker

Next, I cut the cake twice in white cardstock. I ink blended the cake stand with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. For the cake, I used Antique Linen and Wilted Violet for the icing. The candles are ink blended with Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I sprayed the die cut pieces with water for an oxidized effect and I also splattered some white ink. Next, I colored the flames with Copic markers. Then I cut the “hip hop hooray” in gold cardstock and glued it on the cake.  I glued the cake in the middle of the card as the focal point. Lastly, I adhered the cad panel onto an A2 size card base. 

Bright Birthday Shaker

That’s all for this shaker card. The frame from the Fancy Cake Dies makes it super easy to create a shaker card – just add acetate and .25” foam tape around the frame. I hope you’ll try this method to make a shaker card. Tag us on Instagram #prettypinkposhstamps

Have a great day!

Colorful Summer Borders

Hi Friends! It’s Dana here today with a fun summer card to share with you all. 

Colorful Summer Borders

For my card, I used the Summer Borders stamp and coordinating dies. I stamped the ice cream border on colored cardstock and then used the coordinating Summer Borders die to cut them out. Once my borders were die cut I attached them to a card panel with foam tape for a little added dimension. I trimmed the panel down and attached it to an A2 card base.

Colorful Summer Borders

To finish my card, I used the Summer Fun stamp set for my sentiment. Although these border sets are fun to color, I think they also work great to stamp on colored cardstock for a quick and easy card. I hope I inspired you to give this design a try. 

Colorful Summer Borders

That is all for today… A clean and simple card, perfect for summer! Enjoy your day!

Watermelon Friend

Hey there, my crafty pals! It’s Leica here, and I’m super excited to share a really cute shaker card that I made using the amazing fruit products from Pretty Pink Posh. This card is not only adorable but also incredibly easy to make. Trust me, it’s a breeze! So, let’s dive in, and I’ll show you how you can create your own shaker card that will bring a big smile to your recipient’s face.

Pretty Pink Posh: Watermelon Friend

To start, I used a 4-inch square piece of white cardstock as the base for my card. The main feature of this card was the Layered Watermelon Stencil, which created a playful watermelon background. I used a combination of colorful inks like Festive Berries, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, Worn Lipstick, and Glacier White to give the card a fresh and summery vibe. To make it a shaker card, I added a sheet of acetate around this panel, making it interactive. For the shaker elements, I used a mix of Lime Shimmer and Watermelon Crush. These cute little embellishments added a touch of whimsy and brought the watermelon theme to life.

Pretty Pink Posh: Watermelon Friend

Next, I mounted the watermelon panel onto a 4.5-inch square red cardstock for a fun pop of color. Then, I used the Watermelon Stamp Set to heat emboss the words “Hi Sweet” onto a strip of black cardstock. To make the sentiment really stand out, I cut the word “Friend” from red and pink cardstock and glued it onto the clear plastic.

Pretty Pink Posh: Watermelon Friend

Finally, I made a 4.5-inch square white card base and glued the card panel onto it. And voila! That’s it for my card.

I hope you enjoyed my shaker card and that it inspired you to create one of your own. Have an awesome day!

Poinsettia Wagon + Coupon Code

The year is flying by and while the weather is hot here in Washington, we know that some of you are starting Christmas projects. Our big holiday release is in October, but if you want to stock up on some “oldies but goodies” in the Christmas section, now is the time!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am embracing Christmas in July and wanted to show how you can mix and match floral stamp sets to put in the wagon image from the Flower Garden stamp set! For this card, I am using the Poinsettia Corners stamp set so we can make a Christmas card.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

To make sure it has enough time to dry, we’re going to start with the stenciled background. I cut
a piece of olive green cardstock with the second largest square from the Wonky Stitched
Squares Dies
. Using the Swiss Dots Stencil, I added in Game Over Lunar Paste which is a
cranberry red stencil paste.

Pretty Pink Posh: Poinsettia Wagon + Video

I stamped my images next with alcohol marker friendly black ink and white cardstock so I could
color them in with my Ohuhu Art Honolulu Markers. If you would like to know which colors, I
have the marker caps showing in the video and read the colors as well. After coloring in the
wagon from the Flower Garden stamp set and poinsettias from the Poinsettia Corners
stamp set
, I used the Flower Garden coordinating dies and Poinsettia Corners
coordinating dies
to cut them out.

Pretty Pink Posh: Poinsettia Wagon + Video

When coloring the wagon, I did not color any of the floral images and trimmed the image down
so there was just a small area for me to use foam adhesive to add my poinsettias. I also layered
in the smaller poinsettias around the wagon with liquid adhesive and attached the images to my
stenciled wonky square.

For the background of the card, I cut a piece of cranberry red cardstock to 4×5-1/4″ and added
Walnut Stain Distress Ink around the edges as well as splattering to create some interest on the
background cardstock and would not look too plain. While it was drying, I embossed my
sentiment from the Holiday Scripts stamp set in white on black cardstock and used the
Holiday Scripts coordinating dies to cut them out.

Pretty Pink Posh: Poinsettia Wagon + Video

To assemble the card, I glued the red cardstock to the center of an A2 card base and then the
stenciled background with images to the top of the card so there is an even border around the
top and sides of the wonky square. I glued my Merry Christmas sentiment beneath the square
and added a few 4mm Clear Droplets for some added shine but keeping my color scheme.

I hope you have some fun “altering” your wagon garden with different floral sets from Pretty Pink
Posh!

Potted Lemon Tree

Hello, Gemma here today sharing how to create a potted lemon tree card using the new Fruit Tree die set.

I began by die cutting the pieces from the Fruit Tree die set – tree trunk, leaves and lemons.

Potted Lemon Tree

Next, I looked for something to create a plant pot. There’s a die in the Birthday Mug Additions die set that is a good size, although I wanted it to be slightly narrower. I die cut it from white card, then shifted the die over and ran it through the machine again, to cut away a little from one side. I also trimmed it across the top to get a straight edge.

Potted Lemon Tree

Around the edges of a mini slimline card base (3.5 x 6”), I blended stormy sky distress oxide ink. I added the same colour to the die cut plant pot.

Potted Lemon Tree

On a white card panel, slightly smaller than my card base, I stamped a sentiment from the Citrus stamp set. I then adhered this panel to my card.

Next, I adhered the tree trunk and plant pot, followed by the leaves and the lemons. I added a couple of lemons next to the plant pot to finish.

Thanks so much for joining me today!

Strawberry Smile Shaker

Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Leica here with a shaker card. Trust me, it’s really easy to make and the end result is absolutely adorable.

Strawberry Smile Shaker

To get started, I took a white panel of cardstock, sized A2, and used the Layered Strawberries Stencils to create a charming strawberry pattern. I used Distress Oxide Inks in Festive Berries, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, Worn Lipstick, and the Ranger Pigment Ink Pad in Glacier White. These layered stencils are fantastic and give a lovely summer vibe to the background of my shaker card.

Next, I used the Fancy Cake Dies to create a lovely pink frame. I added a sheet of clear acetate to the back of the frame and used foam tape to create a little well for the shaker bits. Inside the shaker, I added the Strawberry Banana Clay Confetti, which looks absolutely delightful.

Strawberry Smile Shaker

For the sentiment, I white heat embossed the words “You Make Me” on a strip of black cardstock. Then, I used the pink foil to hot foil the “Smile Script”. I cut out the smile script using the Smile Shadow die and also cut out another one in teal. I glued the teal one slightly off-center to add a fun pop of color. Finally, I adhered the sentiments onto the acetate.

Lastly, I attached the completed card onto an A2-sized card base. I love how quick and easy it was to create this card, thanks to the Layered Strawberries Stencils.

Jungle Animals Mini Slimlines + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I have a new video to share with you all today. I always struggle with making sure I have enough birthday cards for my nephews! So I wanted to share a process today that makes 2 mini slimline cards that can be used for any one, and honestly any occasion.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

To make sure it has enough time to dry, we’re going to start with the stenciled background. I have a piece of light green cardstock trimmed to 6×6” and I used the Streamers Stencils to give a jungle feel as you can see with the theme I’m going for! I used the A Stencil with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and the B Stencil with Crocodile Tears Solar Paste. In between the layers, I splattered on some metallic orange watercolor. 

Jungle Animals Mini Slimlines + Video

I stamped a bunch of critters from the Jungle Friends and Jungle Additions stamp sets with alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies for both sets to cut them out and attached them to my low tack sticky mat which helps them stay in place while I’m coloring them in with my Ohuhu Art Alcohol Markers.

We can’t have a jungle without any leaves so I stamped two of my favorite leaves from both the Jungle Friends and Jungle Additions stamp sets with a green ink on green cardstock. I wanted to add the leaf details without having to do more coloring, so this is a great way to get green leaves without markers! I used the coordinating dies for both sets on the leaves and set them aside. I cut more leaves by using one of the Stitched Leafy Borders Dies with some green glitter paper.

Jungle Animals Mini Slimlines + Video

Everything is ready to be trimmed and assembled now! I trimmed the stenciled background down to two pieces that measure 5.5×2.75”, a piece of orange cardstock to two pieces that measure 5.75×3” and card bases that measure 6×3.25” when scored in half. I glued them all together so the orange cardstock is a mat for the stenciled background on the card base. I layered the leaves and glued them down with liquid adhesive and popped up my critters with foam adhesive.

Jungle Animals Mini Slimlines + Video

Using the same green ink, I stamped the “hugs” sentiment from the Heart Critters stamp set and used its coordinating die to cut it out. I glued it to the open space in the upper right of the cards. To add some final touches, I adhered down a few of the Lime Shimmer Confetti Mix.

I hope this inspires you to make some cards for any occasion today!
