Cards

Welcome back to Day 4 of our Christmas Theme Week. It’s Lindsey here, and I’m excited to share some “merry and bright” projects with you today. I love theme weeks because they let me bring out my favorites – old and new. Don’t you just love when they work together so seamlessly?

I’ll start with the card. I have a thing for tree trios. My mom always had multiple trios of trees decorating different areas of our home during the holidays, and I loved them. I created my trio with the Pine Trees Dies.  

I wanted to keep this clean and simple, so instead of embellishing the trees, I ran them through the Pierced Snowflakes Plate. I was positively giddy when this die plate released and would use it on every project if I could. :)

I popped my trees up on a card base that I had dry embossed with the Snowfall Stencil and added a glittery banner/sentiment from the Love From Afar Dies.

Next up the gift bag and gift card holder set. I’m so excited about this one! The Gift Card Bag is one of my most favorite dies. It is a darling way to package a gift card, but you can also tuck in tiny gifts. My niece wanted earrings for Christmas and they will fit perfectly in here along with the gift card. 

The gift card holder is simple on purpose: I really am going to attach a gift card on top.  I layered both of the Stitched Gift Card Holders together. The top layer is stenciled with the Winter Words Stencil. Don’t you just love that font? After I attach the gift card, I’ll tuck this inside of the gift bag. 

The Gift Card Bag uses more of my absolute favorite products. I used the Pierced Snowflakes Plate to add a little interest and tucked in a little layer of glittery gold at the top.   

Then I adorned it with the beautiful Stitched Poinsettias Dies. I wanted to bring in a bit more gold, so I added a few pine and berry sprigs from my beloved Winter Foliage dies.   

And there you have it!  I hope that you are inspired to pull out your Christmas goodies and get creating.  If you saw something (old or new) that you’d love to add to your crafty stash, don’t forget that this week all Christmas products are 15% off.  Happy crafting, friends! 

Hello everyone, it’s June here! I’m so exited to make my first blog post ever as a Guest Designer for Pretty Pink Posh! Today is Day 3 of the Christmas Theme Week and I have this fun festive card featuring a lot of the new holiday products to share with you.

To start off, I picked 4 images from the Christmas Cupcakes stamp set to color with my Copic Markers. I decided to add some of the small images from the Holiday Stockings stamp set to fill up the space of my card a bit more. I stamped them using brown ink instead to give a more subtle look.

When I saw the new Eyelet Rectangles dies I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them, which is using one of my favorite die cutting techniques: extending. I placed my paper and die onto my cutting plate, but didn’t roll it all the way through. I extended my die cut by lining it up again on the side I didn’t cut, and the result is an elongated rectangle, which I then cut down to 5 1/2 inch to fit my card base. I love getting more use out of my dies like this!

To make the main background of my card I cut out a panel to fit onto my scalloped piece. I blended a simple pink ombre background using Tattered Rose Distress Ink and added just a tad of Worn Lipstick on the top to brighten it up. I also splattered some Victorian Velvet onto it. When the panel was dry, I used the new Pierced Snowflakes plate to add some interest.

A thing I like to do when I can’t find the perfect cardstock color is making my own using ink. I only needed some small strips on the side of my panel, so I blended some Distress Oxide in the color Festive Berries onto some white paper to get that perfect shade I had in mind.

I wanted to bring some extra blue into my card, so I cut the ‘Merry’ from the Merry Christmas Shadow dies out of turquoise cardstock and mounted it onto its shadow backing piece, which I cut out of vellum.

To put to card together, I glued the panel down directly onto my card base and used foam strips to add some dimension to the cupcakes. I stacked some ‘Merry’ die cuts on top of each other to act as a substitute for the foam strips behind the sentiment. It can be tricky to hide foam behind a thin die cut, so this is the way I like to do it. I finished off my sentiment by adding the ‘wishes’ part of a sentiment that’s in the same Holiday Stockings stamp set I used before.

And that’s it for today! Be sure to check out the blog the rest of the week as well, you don’t want to miss out on all the fun projects the Design Team has prepared :)

Hello friends! It’s Leica here, and I’ve got the most delightful Christmas card to share with you. My card stars the new Winter Birds stamp set and the previously-released Winter Woodland stamp set.

Save 15% on all items in our Christmas section during theme week!

To start things off, I took a piece of white cardstock in A2 size and added some color with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. Then, I stamped, colored, and cut out the birds from the Winter Birds stamp set and a couple of tree branches from the Winter Woodland stamp set. I gave those images a splash of color with Ohuhu markers and used their matching dies to cut them out.

I attached the branches onto the card panel and gave the birds some dimension by sticking them on with foam tape. For the sentiment, I white heat embossed “Tweetest Christmas Wishes” on a piece of red cardstock and cut it with the smallest die in the Stitched Torn Rectangles dies. I raised this up with foam tape on the card panel. To add a touch of sparkle and texture, I glued some Ivory Pearls here and there.

Lastly, I glued the card panel onto an A2-sized white card base. And there you have it, my card featuring the most adorable winter birds.

A big thank you for stopping by today, and I really hope I’ve lit a creative spark in you to make some holiday cards. Have a fantastic day!

Hello friends. It’s Leica, and I’m here to show you a super easy Christmas shaker card made possible by the Tree Cover Plate. I get really excited when I can whip up a card in just a few minutes. Let’s get started!

First, I cut the Tree Cover Plate from light pink cardstock and glued a sheet of clear acetate on the back. I added foam tape all around the edges and in the spaces between the trees. Then, I sprinkled in some Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads. After that, I peeled off the backing of the foam tape and glued on a patterned paper that’s A2-sized.

For the words, I used white heat embossed with a saying from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set on red cardstock. Then, I cut it out with a die from the Sentiment Strip dies and gave it some extra pop by mounting it with foam. To make things extra special, I added Metallic Gold Pearls here and there for a touch of sparkle.

I’m just thrilled with how quickly this card came together. I hope it gets your creative juices flowing to make some cards with this new cover plate. Happy crafting!

Hi friends, Gemma here. Today I’m sharing a card with the Layered Christmas Trees stencil set and the Hot Foil Merry Christmas. I chose a palette of black grey and gold.

The Layered Christmas Trees stencil set has three layers, but I’m only using two on this card. I’ve skipped layer C with the tree trunks.

With layer A, I blended distress inks in Lost Shadow, Hickory Smoke and Black Soot.

I used some Nuvo Glacier Paste in Golden Era with layer B. Remember to clean your stencil well after using any kind of paste. I put the stenciled panel aside to dry, whilst I worked on the sentiment.

On black card, I foiled in gold the Hot Foil Merry Christmas words. I then used the Merry Christmas Shadow Dies to cut them out, adding two additional layers for dimension.

I adhered a piece of black card on to a 6” square card base, then trimmed down the stenciled panel and adhered to the card with foam tape. I then added the foiled sentiments in the centre of the card to finish.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope this card inspired you!

Hi crafty friends, it’s Leica! Today, I’m excited to share a fall-themed card with you, featuring the Fall Mug Additions Dies. These are a fantastic addition to the Mug Dies collection that I really adore from PPP.

To start off, I cut the largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies in teal cardstock. I used Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink to color the bottom part to give it that ombre look. I added some white ink splatters and teal watercolor to make the card more interesting. Then, I used a pink piece of cardstock as a background for this panel.

Next, I used the Fall Mug Additions Dies to make some cute elements using different colored cardstocks from Spellbinders. I also added a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set and cut it into a fancy shape using the Sentiment Strips Dies. Finally, I glued everything onto a white piece of cardstock.

What I really love about this card is how quick and easy it was to put together, without needing to do any marker coloring. Making cards like this is something I enjoy a lot! Thanks for visiting the PPP Blog today.

Hello, crafty friends! Leica here with a super cool Thanksgiving card to show you. I used some fall stencils and dies from Pretty Pink Posh to make this card extra special.

To start things off, I took a piece of white cardstock that’s 4.75 inches square. Then, I ink blended it with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink. I also used a stencil called Falling Branches, and I used the same ink to make a cool pattern. I did this to make the colors match nicely. To add a border of color, I glued the card panel onto a 5-inch square brown cardstock.

Next, I used the beautiful dies from the Fall Cornucopia Dies. I cut them from different colored cardstock and put some right onto the card. Others I made pop up a bit by using foam tape. I also added a sentiment on a black strip, and I white heat embossed it  to make it stand out. Then, I used foam tape for added dimension.

Last thing I did was glue the card panel onto a 5-inch white card base, and ta-da, the card is done! I really hope this makes you feel excited to try making your own Thanksgiving cards using the Fall Cornucopia Dies.

Hi friends, it’s Gemma here and today I’m sharing a card with the fun Christmas Cupcakes stamp set.

I stamped out three images from the Christmas Cupcakes stamp set, coloured them with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I love to add sparkle for Christmas, so used liquid glue and loose glitter to add glistening details to each of the cupcakes.

Copic Colours:

Tree cupcake wrapper: R22-24, N0-1, Tree cupcake:  G40 G43 G14, Y13-15 Tree: E57, G07 G14 G17 Santa: E00 E11-13 R30 R20 N0-1 Santa hat: R22-27 Gingerbread Man cupcake wrapper: R24 G14 Gingerbread man cake: E40-41 B01 Gingerbread man: E30-33 R24 G14

Next, I worked on the background. I used the Stitched Torn Rectangles to die cut two large panels in sparkle red and pearl green card. I also cut the second largest rectangle from white card. On the white card panel. I stamped a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas set.

Next, I offset layered the red and green panels along the longest edge of the white card panel. I needed to cut down the larger panels so I could add this layered detail to both edges.

I adhered the layered panels on an A2 landscape card base, then added the Christmas Cupcakes on top with foam strips to finish.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope this card inspired you!
