Cards

Hello, my creative friends! It’s Leica here on the PPP blog today. I want to show you a fun card I made with the Fruit Mug Additions Dies. The main focus of the card is a delicious margarita drink. It has quickly become my favorite product from the latest release. Let’s get started!

First, I prepared a white card base that’s the size of a standard A2 card. Then, I used the Streamers Stencils with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks to add some colorful patterns. To make it more interesting, I splattered some white ink.

Next, I took a piece of vellum to create a softer background. I added a yellow frame around it using the Fancy Cake Dies. I really like how the frame gives my cards a nice border.

Then, I used the Winter Mug Dies to cut out the mug shape and made a window for the shaker element using the Fruit Mug Additions Dies. I turned the mug into a short glass by removing the handle. To make the shaker, I attached a clear plastic sheet on the back of the mug, just below the rim. It’s important to keep the plastic below the rim so you can put a stirrer or straw into the glass. I added foam around the frame of the mug to create a space for the shaker, and I put in some Lemon Lime Clay Confetti and vellum cut into ice cubes. I also cut lime slices from green cardstock and glued them onto the card, as well as one on the rim of the glass. To make it more realistic, I added salt around the rim using Diamond Dust and Nuvo Crystal Drops as the glue.

For the sentiment, I cut out the word “cheers” from teal glitter cardstock. I layered a few pieces to give it dimension. I also heat embossed the phrase “Happy birthday to you” in white on a strip of black cardstock.

Of course, no Pretty Pink Posh card is complete without some confetti. I added some Lemon Shimmer Mix for extra sparkle and interest.

And that’s all for my margarita birthday card. I absolutely adore the Fruit Mug Additions Dies. I’ve already made so many cards with them, and I’ll be sharing more card ideas soon.

Have a fantastic day!

Hello, my crafty pals! It’s Leica here, and today I want to share a delightful card with you featuring the new Fruit Mug Additions. I’ve been eager to try out the Tic Tac Toe Die for a while, and finally, I found the perfect opportunity to use it.

To get started, I took a 4.5-inch square piece of white cardstock and gently blended Worn Lipstick and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink on it using the Layered XOXO Stencils. This created a playful background for the card.

Next, I cut out a few strawberries from watercolor paper. I painted four of them in pink and five in red. Then, I used the Tic Tac Toe die on purple cardstock and also on a few pieces of white cardstock. I glued them together to give them some dimension.

After that, I cut a 4-inch square piece of vellum to add a soft touch to the background. I attached the strawberries using foam tape and glued the tic tac toe on the vellum. For the sentiment, I stamped “You’re Berry Sweet” on a strip of light blue cardstock and mounted it in the center of the card using foam tape.

Finally, I made a 4.5-inch white card base, and ta-da! My card is complete. Thank you so much for visiting, and I hope this inspires you to create a card for a friend or loved one. Also, don’t forget to explore your collection of older sets to see how they can be combined with the latest products.

Hello, Gemma here today with a card featuring the lovely Fresh Berries stamp set.

I stamped out all the images in the set twice and coloured them with copic markers. I cut them out with the coordinated dies, then arranged them around the edges of an A2 card base.

Copic Colours:

Strawberry: R22-27 YG05 YG17 Blueberry: B63 B66 BV08 Blackberry: BV04 BV08 B69 G14 Raspberry: RV34 RV55 RV66 G14 Flowers: Y11 RV00 Leaves: YG05 YG17; G14 G07

I popped some of the images up with foam tape, and used liquid glue for others, to get some different dimensions on the card.

I stamped the larger sentiment from the Fresh Berries stamp set with a bright pink ink, then die cut it with the coordinating die. I added some extra layers for dimension. I stamped a smaller sentiment directly on the card with a dark purple ink.

To finish, I added some jewels in berry colours (Watermelon, Raspberry, and Amethyst) around the card.

Thanks so much for joining me today! 

Hello everyone! It’s Leica here. Today I want to share with you a card I made using the Decorative Birdhouses Dies and the Stitched Birds Dies to create a lovely square-shaped card.

To start, I made a 4.5 inch square card base in white cardstock and ink blended the front with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink. I used a heavy hand on the bottom area and brushed the top area with a lighter hand to create a nice ombre effect. Then, I cut a white cardstock into a 4 inch square and ink blended it with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink. I splattered some white ink on the card panel and card base for added texture.

Next, I cut the birds, birdhouse, and florals in various color cardstock using the Decorative Birdhouses and Stitched Birds dies. I love how easy it was to cut and layer these elements to create a beautiful scene on my card panel. I added a piece of baker’s twine on the birdhouse for an extra touch of cuteness.

To finish off the card, I white heat embossed the sentiment “Missing You” on a strip of black cardstock and foam mounted it on the card. I think the sentiment adds a perfect finishing touch to the card.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my card today and feel inspired to try out these dies. Thank you for stopping by the blog and happy crafting!

Hi friends, Jeanne here. Is there anything sweeter than fresh berries in the summertime? They’re just too tempting to resist! I’m loving the new release that’s loaded with fruity goodness!

My card today is made with the Fresh Berries stamp set and coordinating die. I stamped and colored a big pile of these so all that was left to do was arrange them.

I adhered a light pink panel to the front of a card base and then die cut the Pretty Petals Background die from white cardstock. Next I added the “Berry much” sentiment to the center of the card, and then arranged the fruit and foliage above and below the sentiment.

The foliage is adhered flat to the card base and the berries are “popped up” using adhesive foam tape. This adds dimension to the design. A scatter of flowers is the finishing touch for this pretty design!

This card is sure to make the recipient’s life sweeter! I hope you’re smiling too!

Hey there! It’s Leica, and I’m excited to share a cute Orange-themed card with you today, featuring the new Citrus Stamp Set from the June Release. This card is perfect for letting someone know they’re the best, saying thank you, or celebrating a birthday. Let’s dive in!

To start, I took a 4-inch square white cardstock and blended it with Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Ink. Then, using the Starburst Stencil and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Ink, I stenciled some fun patterns over it. And to add an extra touch of fun, I splattered some white ink around. For the sentiment, I stamped “You’re the Zest” on the card panel using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

Next, I stamped and colored the oranges and leaves from the Citrus Stamp Set. After coloring them, I cut them out using their coordinating dies. I used different Copic Sketch Markers: YG67/17/03 for the leaves, Y35/32 for the oranges, and YR16/14/00 for the outside part of the oranges.

I used foam tape to attach the stamped images onto the card panel, giving them a nice dimension that really pops!

Lastly, I glued the card panel onto a 4.25-inch white card base and added some Sunset Orange Pearls here and there for a touch of shine and texture.

And that’s all for my card! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope I’ve inspired you to create a card with the Citrus Stamp Set. Happy crafting!

Hi friends, Jeanne here. I hope you’re loving the fresh new release! My card today features the new Watermelon stamp and coordinating die set!

I like to arrange my images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card face to help me decide on placement before I commit and adhere everything in place. It’s also easy to pick up the entire design and layer it over different backgrounds to choose which one I like best.

I stamped the sentiment in the center of a Scallop Oval Frame and then arranged the watermelon, slices and leaves around the frame.

I decided on a stitched zig zag border in watermelon shades of ombre red and green. I love the Stacked Edges series of dies because they make quick detailed backgrounds in a snap. The die cut borders fit together like puzzle pieces so the finished background is smooth and flat.

The finishing touch is a sprinkle of Lime Shimmer Confetti. They shine like juicy dewdrops!

Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Leica, and I’m excited to share a fun card with you today using the Fruit Mug Additions Dies. I decided to create a card featuring my favorite cocktail, the Paloma. It’s a refreshing mix of grapefruit and Tequila. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend it if you enjoy cocktails. But for now, let’s dive into the card!

To start, I used a A2-sized white card base and inked it up with some pretty colors using the Layered Citrus Stencils and Distress Oxide Inks in Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo. This stencil makes it super easy to create a fun background.

Next, I used the Winter Mug Dies to cut out the shape of a mug and created a shaker element by adding a window with the Fruit Mug Additions Dies. I turned the mug into a short glass by removing the handle. To make the shaker, I attached a clear plastic sheet to the back of the mug, just below the rim. Make sure the plastic stays below the rim so you can add a stirrer or straw. I added foam around the mug’s frame to create space for the shaker, and I filled it with Ballerina Pink and Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix. To make it more realistic, I cut out grapefruit slices from pink cardstock and glued them onto the card, including one on the rim of the glass. For a finishing touch, I added salt around the rim using Diamond Dust and used Nuvo Crystal Drops as glue.

Before attaching the mug to the card, I added a sheet of vellum to create a softer background.

For the sentiment, I used teal foil to hot foil the “Friend” script and cut it out using the Friend Shadow Dies. I absolutely love that PPP now offers hot foil scripts. They add a special and fun detail to my cards. I also heat embossed a sub-sentiment on a strip of black cardstock and mounted it below the glass using foam tape. To add some extra sparkle and interest, I included some Sunshine Pearls.

I hope you like my card! I had so much fun creating it. You could say I had a Happy Hour in my craft room. Teehee!
