Cards

Hello, friends! Lindsey here with another Valentine card showcasing the new Valentine Mug Additions. Once you start creating with these new dies, you are not going to want to stop! The creative options are endless! I must have had Christmas baking still on my mind, because I decided to go all out with my strawberry decorating on my next card. It was all the fun of baking, but a whole lot less messy. ;)

I created milk and white chocolate coated and sugar dusted strawberries and candies. Some are sprinkled with confetti made with the tiny hearts in the Valentine Mug Additions dies and others are sprinkled with the Valentine’s Day Mix clay confetti.

I also wanted to show some of the fun ways these dies mix and match. For instance, the chocolate drizzle is equally good for adorning the candies as well as the strawberries. The whipped cream dollop can also double as a meringue cookie. 

A bit more about how this card came together.  I started with a white card base then added a second layer, blending on pink stripes using the Pinstripe Stencil. Next, I framed the striped panel with two layers of the Slimline: Peekaboo Window Dies. A happy discovery was that the second smallest square in the new Wonky Stitched Square Dies fits perfectly inside the windows.  

I popped up my sugary treats with dimensional foam and finished my card off with a fitting sentiment from the new XOXO stamp set. 

I hope that this card inspired you to play around with the options of these new dies. They really are so fun!

Hi friends! It’s Leica here and today I have a colorful and fun card that is very simple to make, thanks to the new layering stencils. The one I used for my card is the new Layered Valentine Hearts Stencil. With these stencils, you can easily create your own patterned paper for cards or other projects. 

I cut a 5” square in white cardstock and ink blended through the “A” Layer in Spun Sugar, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Cracked Pistachio, Tumbled Glass, and Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Inks. For Layers B and C, I used Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Evergreen Bough, Salty Ocean, and Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide Inks. With Layer D, I ink  blended through the stencil with Barn Door Distress Oxide Ink. 

I then cut the Large Hugs Shadow with an extra shadow that I offset for added interest. I also stamped “& kisses” on a strip of light pink cardstock and foam mounted it under the Hugs script. By the way, the Large Hugs Shadow has a Hot Foil version! I’ve already tried it and oh my goodness, it is so much fun to play with! 

Next, I added some clay confetti here and there and glued the card panel onto a light pink 5.25” card base. 

That’s all for this card. I hope that you’ll create some cards with this layering stencil. You can choose different colors or stick with a monochromatic look – totally up to you!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Hi crafty friends. It’s Leica here and I am sharing the cutest little notecards using the new Sweet Note Dies. It’s super easy to make and you can also adhere a small treat like the Ghirardelli Squares (you can find them on Amazon HERE) inside the notecard.

I cut the Sweet Note Dies in patterned paper and in 3 different ways. One is with the flap on the top, one with the flap on the left side, and another with the flap on the right side. Just keep the direction of the design in mind when you cut your paper. 

Next, I cut the scalloped circles in white cardstock and the circle dies in blush cardstock. I arranged different sentiments onto an acrylic block and stamped it onto the circle cuts in Versafine Vintage Sepia ink. I glued the circle layers and foam mounted it onto the Sweet Note.

I then stamped, colored, and cut the chocolates, rose, and strawberries from the XOXO Stamp Set. I used Copic Sketch markers:

Browns – E47/44/43/42, E57/55/53/51 and E77/74/71
Greens – YG67/63/61
Reds – R24/22/20

Lastly, I glued the images onto the circle dies. That’s all for these sweet mini notecards. I hope that I’ve inspired you to create mini love notes or candy holders for your little ones!

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here and I have the lucky task of giving you a peek at some of the new dies releasing this month. They are amazing! I am completely smitten, and I think you will be, too!  

New release will be available January 5th. 

One of the die sets I am most excited about is the Valentine Mug Additions. The dies are designed to pair perfectly with the previously released Winter Mug Dies, but I wanted to start by showing you that they can be used on their own, too!  

What better way to showcase these new sweets than creating a chocolate box? I created my box using a a brown card base and the largest Scallop Frame die. Then, I pieced together lots of chocolates and chocolate covered strawberries using the Valentine Mug Additions. There are lots of mix and match options in this set and super cute stitching details throughout. 

I used a white gel pen to highlight the seeds on the strawberries.  

Front and center on my card is one of two new script dies called the Large Love Shadow die. These dies are a fabulous large size and come with the script + an outline, which I love. I couldn’t help myself and added a third layer of vellum to help the sentiment stand out a bit more against the chocolates. Then I added a secondary embossed sentiment “hugs and kisses” from the new Potted Roses stamp set. 

My second card uses many of the same Valentine Mug Additions dies, but this time I paired them with the Winter Mug.   

I started by creating a candy heart background using two of the layers in the new Layered Valentine Hearts stencils. So much fun! Next, I used the two largest Wonky Stitched Squares dies to create a frame, which in this case anchors my focal point. 

Now for the mug! I blended on a little ink around the edges of the mug, then I stuffed it full of darling dies from Valentine Mug Additions – cherry, whipped cream, strawberry, and double hearts.

The fabulous Large Love Shadow die fit perfectly across the mug. I adore it.  

Speaking of things I adore, how cute is that spoon?! I figured a chocolate and sprinkle coated spoon would be the perfect thing to stir into a mug of hot chocolate. The sprinkles are from the new Valentine’s Day Mix clay confetti.  I added a marshmallow from the Winter Mug dies and a rose from the Valentines Mug Additions dies, and called it a day. :) 

Thanks so much for joining me today! I had so much fun creating with the new dies, and I know you will too. Join us tomorrow as we reveal the products and the bundles go live!

Hi crafty friends! It’s Dana here and I am excited to be back sharing a sneak peek of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh. This release includes four new stencils: Layered Chocolates, Layered Valentine Hearts, Layered Cherries and Layered XOXO. Today I will be using two of the sets, so let’s get started…

New release will be available January 5th. 

My first card uses the Layered Cherries stencils to create my card panel. This is a three pack of stencils that layer together to create a fun background. To make my background, I used Distress Oxide ink (Candied Apple, Mowed Lawn and Brushed Corduroy) and small blended brushes to add ink to each layer. Once my panel was finished I added a few white paint splatters and set it aside to dry.

Next, I used the Sweet Cherries stamp and die set for my stamped cherries and sentiment. I colored the cherries with Copic markers and attached them along with my sentiment to my card panel with foam adhesive. I love how these products coordinate together though also can be used on their own! Lastly, I trimmed my panel down and attached it to an A2 card base to finish my card.

My next card uses the Layered XOXO stencil set. 

I started my card by using the Layered XOXO stencil set to make my card panel. This is a set of three stencils: X’s, O’s and Hearts. I used the Hearts in place of the O’s to make my background, but either layer works the same. I love that you have both options! I used Distress Oxide ink in Spun Sugar and Salvaged Patina for my layers. 

Next, I used the Scallop Heart die to die cut a heart from the center of my panel. I attached acetate behind the opening and added foam adhesive to create a shaker. I then filled the shaker with the XOXO confetti mix before closing it up. Lastly, I used the Large Love Hot Foil Plate to create my sentiment. Following the directions for my machine I foiled the sentiment onto a piece of red cardstock with gold foil. I then used the Large Love Shadow die to cut it out. Lastly, I attached it to my card panel with a little liquid glue.

Thanks for joining me today! I know you will love these new products and I can’t wait to see what you create with them!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hi friends! It’s Stefanie here today and I am sharing a sneak peek of the Heart Critters stamp set. The critters are just adorable and I thought they were the perfect size to use with the Sweet Note dies.

New release will be available January 5th. 

I created two Sweet Notes and added a leopard on one and a panda on the other. To begin, I colored both of the critters using a mix of Copic and Ohuhu(O) markers.

• Leopard yellow: E37, YR24, YR21, YR20, E30
• Leopard nose and ear pinks: E11, R30, R000
• Leopard white: E40
• Leopard heart: R20(O), R19(O), R18(O)
• Leopard bow/Panda flower: R9(O), R21(O)
• Panda green leaf: GY4(O), GY7(O)
• Panda black: NG09(O), NG06(O), NG03(O)
• Panda white: W3, W1, W00

Next I used the Heart Critters coordinating dies to cut out the images and set them aside while I worked on the envelopes. 

I knew I wanted the envelopes to be a dark pink and the background for the critters to be a light pink. Since I didn’t have any dark pink cardstock, I die cut 2 envelopes and used Picked Raspberry distress oxide to color them in. 

For the backgrounds, I die cut 2 squares and used distress oxides in Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar to create a gradient from pink to white on each. I also used water droplets to lift up some of the pink and give the background some more texture. To create a bit more subtle valentine theme, I pulled out all the cute valentine sentiments from the release and stamped them in the bottom portion of the background in Spun Sugar.

To finish off the outside of the envelope, I adhered the background onto the envelope and propped up the critter using foam tape.

For the inside, I used the Pinstripe stencil with Spun Sugar distress oxide to create the stripe pattern and adhered another square die cut in white card stock to create a little area for a handwritten note.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like my sweet little notes!
