Cards

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am sharing a card that uses the Solid Fall Foliage stamp set and coordinating die set.

I started my card by die cutting a variety of images with the Solid Fall Foliage die set. I then used the Solid Fall Foliage stamp set along with the negative from the die cut and my Misti to line everything up. Lining the stamp and die cuts up in my Misti allowed me to stamp multiples quickly and easily. 

Once I was finished stamping I attached the images to my card panel with foam adhesive. I then trimmed my panel down and splattered my panel with a little gold watercolor paint. Lastly, I used the Solid Fall Foliage set for my sentiment.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hi, crafty friends! Christina here to share a spooktacular shaker card with you featuring some of my favorite things from the latest Halloween release. I used the new, awesomely big Ghost Holder Dies, paired him with some trick-or-treating ghost friends, and gave them all a spooky sky background that I created using the Scattered Bats Stencil, and the wickedly good Upright Greetings: Halloween Stamp Set. Let’s get started!

First, I created the spooky sky background by stenciling the Scattered Bats with Black Soot Distress Ink and stamping the Upright Greetings with Wilted Violet Distress Ink all across a lavender cardstock panel trimmed to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. I deepened the color around the edges of the panel with Villainous Potion and Black Soot Distress Inks, and then splattered the panel with Hocus Pocus Mica Stain before die cutting it with the largest Wonky Stitched Rectangles die, giving me the background and the frame pieces.

To create the shaker, I attached the wonky rectangle background to a lavender cardstock panel trimmed to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Then, using double-sided tape, I attached a piece of acetate to the reverse side of the wonky frame and sandwiched it with another wonky frame to create the shaker window. I placed thin foam strips around the rectangle background for the shaker walls, and then added the Spooktacular Clay Confetti (swoon!) to the center of the panel before placing the shaker window panel on top.

Next, I die cut the rest of the elements for my card design using white cardstock and silver glitter cardstock. From the Ghost Holder Die Set, I die cut the ghost, his candy bag, and the Boo greeting. From the Spooky Mug Additions, I die cut the small ghost friends, their bags, the candy pieces, and the stars. I inked the bags and candy pieces with a variety of pastel inks to match the confetti and added a pumpkin face from the Halloween Mug Addition Die Set to the large candy bag. So adorable!

To finish things up, I attached everything to my shaker window and added a little sparkle to my ghost friends with a Wink of Stella glitter marker. The last thing was to add a few of the Upright Greetings, heat embossed in white on black cardstock, and then die cut with the Sentiment Strips Dies. 

And that’s it for this spooktacular shaker card featuring some incredible Halloween goodies. See you again soon!

Hi friends! It’s Sophie Ems here on the blog today sharing a fun idea using the new Fall Leaves Border die from the fabulous new September release. Let’s dive in!

I love the various border dies that Pretty Pink Posh has. They have border dies for most seasons/holidays including Halloween, Easter, etc. Border dies can be used as accents on cards or even as the main focal point as I did here. 

For my card I chose a few colored cardstocks from my stash in a variety of autumnal colors and turned on my favorite TV show while I did some repetitive die cutting. This came together pretty fast and it was relaxing to make!

To create these colorful leaves I die cut the connected strip of leaves from kraft colored cardstock and then used the individual leaf dies from the set to cut from the various colors. I glued each colored leaf in a random order on top of the kraft strip of leaves so I could easily align everything up on my card. 

For my sentiment I used my favorite die set from this release – the Many Thanks Shadow dies. I love this set! I am always making thank you cards and this elegant script thanks is just perfect. I love that it has a shadow layer that you can choose to use or not. For this card I cut the shadow from vellum and the words from gold metallic cardstock. 

For my cardbase I used a piece of light cream cardstock. I cut down my kraft panel so there was a little border framing the main focal point and I like how it turned out!

I hope you enjoyed this card project! I love that this card featured die cutting only without stamping. It was super easy and relaxing to create and I hope this encourages you to look at your border dies differently! 

I cannot thank Pretty Pink Posh enough for inviting me to guest design again this month. A total dream come true! I have had the best time creating a ton of projects using this September release that I’ll feature over on my Instagram throughout this month – I hope you’ll check them out! 

Hello, Gemma here today to share a fall themed thank you card.

I began by die cutting the new Fall Leaves Border. I cut the full border from white card, then the individual leaves from different colours of cardstock. I then adhered these leaves over the top of the full border.

Next, I worked on the sentiment. I die cut the thanks word and shadow from the new Many Thanks Shadow die. The shadow is cut from navy card, and the scripty work on top is die cut from gold glitter card. I then adhered the pieces tougher with liquid glue.

For an additional sentiment, I partially stamped a greeting from the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set, heat embossing it in white on navy card. I used a Sentiment Strips die to cut it out.

I used an older stencil set Layered Argyle to add some detail directly to an A2 card base. I picked some pink distress oxides to blend each stencil layer – spun sugar, kitsch flamingo, and picked raspberry.

On the top section of my card base, I adhered a panel of navy card, then added the fall leaves border between that and the stenciled background. I then adhered the sentiments at the to finish.

I hope you enjoyed this fall card. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone, June here and I’m sharing my process for a spooky Halloween card using the Halloween release.

I started out by selecting 2 ghosts from the Stitched Ghosts Dies I wanted to use for my focal point. I love how you can mix and match the faces on them! I also decorated my ghosts by adding a subtle ombre look using Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide ink and adding some blush on their cheeks using Copic Markers and white gel pen. I backed the faces using a scrap piece of black cardstock to make them pop.

For my background I blended a solid panel of Lost Shadow Distress Oxide and used the Scattered Bats Stencil and Hickory Smoke to add a cute bat pattern. I used a very light hand for this and even went back to Lost Shadow to make sure the bats weren’t too dark.

I feel like the background still distracted a bit too much from my ghosts, so I cut out one of the Eyelet Ovals Dies so I had something to back my ghosts onto. I used foam stickers to adhere them because I didn’t like the white-on-white look, and adding some dimension made them pop out a bit more.

I embossed one of my new favorite sentiments from the Halloween Corners Stamp Set in white onto some black cardstock and also adhered it using foam tape. I thought I was finished at this point, but it looked a bit… plain maybe? So I looked through the entire release to find something I could add more detail with, and suddenly realized how fun those sentiments from Upright Greetings: Halloween were. I chose my sentiments based on their length so it could frame my card nicely and I stamped them in a grey ink that was slightly darker than my bats for even more of the same tone-on-tone look. 

I really like how this one turned out! I like the little pop of color on the ghosts against the ghostly pastel grey background.

Anyway, I’ll see you again soon, bye crafty friends!

Hi friends! Christina here to share a cozy autumn scene card featuring the new Fall Harvest stamp set and the coordinating dies. I combined this set with some goodies from the latest release, and to really play up the fall vibes, I used kraft cardstock and chose a beautiful autumn color palette. Follow along as I walk you through the steps to creating this adorable seasonal project!

I started by stenciling the background with the Layered Birch Trees Stencils on kraft cardstock using white pigment ink for the first layer and dark brown ink for the second detail layer. Then, I die cut the stenciled panel with the largest Scallop Frames Die. I also die cut two additional scallop frames to stack with the original frame and attached everything to a kraft cardstock panel trimmed to 4 ¼  x 5 ¼ “ .

My next step was to stamp images from the Fall Harvest stamp set, the Fall Icons stamp set and Halloween Icons stamp set, and the ghost from the Halloween Corners stamp set with black ink on white cardstock. I used alcohol ink markers to color the images before die cutting with the coordinating dies. I used a combination of liquid adhesive and foam squares to attach them to my background and then added white gel pen highlights to some of the images.

My last step was to stamp the Thankful sentiment from the Fall Harvest Stamp set with dark brown ink. Then I die cut it using the coordinating die and layered it with a couple of blank die cuts before attaching it to my card. Lastly, I added white heat embossed sub sentiments from the same set as well as one from the Sentiment Strips:Fall Stamp Set, both die cut with the Sentiment Strips Dies. 

That completes this super cozy autumn scene card featuring the new Fall Harvest stamp set. Check out the new release over in the shop for all your fall crafting supplies. See you again soon!

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back sharing a card that uses the gorgeous Layered Autumn Harvest stencils. 

I started my card by making my card panel with the Layered Autumn Harvest stencil set. This is a set of three stencils that layer together to create a beautiful fall card panel. I used dye inks and finger daubers for my blending. Once my panel was finished I splattered it with a little copper paint and set it aside to dry.

Next, I used the Many Thanks Shadow die set for my sentiment. I used copper cardstock for my sentiment and vellum for the shadow layer. Although the vellum is subtle it creates a nice layer to help the sentiment not get “lost”. Once I trimmed my panel down I attached my sentiment to finish my card.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope I inspired you to create a fall card of your own.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here today to share some turkey love!  I mean how stinking cute is this turkey, perfect for fall! Let’s get started!

First, I pulled out an array of orange and brown cardstock to do some die cutting with the super cute new Stitched Turkey dies. I adhered the pieces of the turkey but for the face I decided to cut out a yellow triangle for the nose and added some googley eyes. To finish the turkey I added a bit of splatter towards the bottom of the turkey body.   I set the adorable turkey aside and now it was time to work on the background.   

For my background I decided to use one of new fall stencils called Layered Leaf Lattice. It’s a beautiful stencil set and gives your background some fall goodness.  I used orange die inks to stencil, I added some splatter to the top left corner and bottom right.  I cut the stenciled background down to 5 x 3 3/4 inches.  For a pop of color I adhered the stencil panel to the same cardstock I used for the turkey.  I adhered the Turkey to panel and now it was time to work on the sentiment. 

For the sentiments I used the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set.  I heat embossed them with brown embossing powder onto white cardstock.  I die cut the long sentiment with the Sentiment Strips Dies and flagged the ends.  For the smaller sentiment I wanted the turkey to hold a sign and the Big Valentine Cupcakes dies had the perfect die.  I put the sign together and loved it!  I needed a resting place for the long sentiment and decided to use the new Fall Leaves Border.  I felt like the long sentiment still needed something,  I decided to die cut a strip of orange from the Sentiment Strips dies and I loved the way it turned out.  This card was so much to make, the turkey is so stinking adorable.  Wouldn’t this make the cutest place cards for turkey dinner and/or a great banner across a mantel!?  The possibilities are endless with this cutie, the Stitched Turkey Dies!

Thank you so much for stopping by friends and have a great day!
