Halloween Cake Pops

Hello, friends! Brenda here and I’m super excited to be back on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today! My card features the absolutely darling Halloween Cake Pops Die SetCake Pops Layering Stencils and the Happy Halloween Script Dies!

I normally start with my focal point, but this time I decided to create the background first. I couldn’t wait to ink up the adorable Cake Pop Stencil Set! I used a combination of dye inks in shades of orange, green, purple, light blue and black on a panel of white cardstock. Once the ink was dry, the panel was die-cut with a rectangle die and adhered to an A2 panel of light blue cardstock. I almost always create a frame around the background of my cards (unless it’s a scene). I think it finishes if off nicely!

Next, I selected shades of cardstock that matched the ink on my background to created the cake pops with the Halloween Cake Pops Die Set. I used orange, green, lilac, light blue and black cardstock. I added shading to the die-cuts with the same inks that I used on the background to create some dimension, then adhered them together with liquid glue. I die-cut a piece of vellum with the second largest die in the Eyelet Rectangles Die Set. The cake pops were arranged on the vellum panel and the sticks were adhered with liquid glue, while the cake pops were popped up with foam tape. The vellum was adhered to the background, adding liquid glue only behind the die-cuts.

The top layer of the sentiment was cut from green glitter cardstock and the shadow layer from black cardstock using the Happy Halloween Script Die Set. I also die-cut three more layers of the shadow from heavyweight white cardstock, stacked and adhered them all together with liquid glue, then added them to the bottom of the card. I added a trio of purple clay hearts from the Halloween Friends Mix to finish off the card.

That does it for me!! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Halloween Fringe Pumpkin

Hi friends! Christina here to share a whimsical Halloween card featuring some of the new die sets in the latest spooky season release. I used the newest addition to the growing fringe dies collection, the Fringe Pumpkin, and paired it with the new Happy Halloween Shadow dies, which I also used to create a fun tone-on-tone text background. Grab your die-cutting machine, and let’s get started!

Fringe Pumpkin Dies
Happy Halloween Shadow Dies

Halloween Mug Addition Dies – moon & stars
Big Halloween Cupcake Dies – scripty “boo” for background
Spooky Mug Additions Dies – small pumpkin for background
Stitched Pumpkins – leaves & vines

I started by creating the text background on a black cardstock panel trimmed slightly smaller than A2, about 4 x 5 ¼ inches. Then I die-cut multiple sets of the Happy Halloween, the scripty boo, and the small pumpkin from more black cardstock. I glued these randomly across the black cardstock panel, staggering the words and the pumpkin, letting them hang off the edges of the panel and trimming them afterwards. Two tips: you don’t have to fill in the area behind the fringe pumpkin, but you’ll need some scrap cardstock behind it so that it will be flush with the other text, and the text that you trim from the edges can be used to fill in other areas! 

I finished the background panel by using gold Perfect Pearls powder mixed with a little water to add some metallic gold spatter and then mounted it to a black A2 cardstock panel with foam tape. 

Next, I got to work die-cutting the other elements of my card design. I used ivory and green cardstock for the components of the pumpkin and gold glitter cardstock for the sentiment and the moon and stars. I attached these to the text background and then finished things up by mounting it to an A2 card base. 

Thanks for reading about this whimsical Halloween card design featuring new dies from the latest release! See you again soon!

Pretty Pink Posh always makes the CUTEST Halloween goodies and the latest release does not disappoint!!! The Spider Shaker is just adorable!!!

And not only is this card cute (if I do say so myself,) it is also flat & easy to mail and it uses some “crafty trash” aka plastic packaging!

[First Video Hop + Giveaways!] Trick or Treat Cake Pops

Hi friends, it’s Lauren Taylor! I’m excited to share a project using some of the brand-new products from the Pretty Pink Posh August 2025 Halloween Release.

This project is part of our August Video Hop! Check the description in the video for links to the next stop so you can keep hopping along for tons of Halloween inspiration.

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

Today, I’m featuring the Halloween Cake Pops Stencils to create a colorful background and pairing it with the Halloween Word Scenes Stamps and Dies for a bold sentiment.

I started with an A2 panel of white cardstock and layered the Halloween Cake Pops Stencils to build my background. For the first stencil, I inked the pumpkins in Carved Pumpkin, the ghosts in Tumbled Glass, the Frankenstein pops in Twisted Citron, and the cats in Wilted Violet Distress Inks. Then, I used Black Soot for the second stencil to add all the adorable faces and details, and finished with Tea Dye for the cake pop sticks. After splattering Hickory Smoke Distress Spray for some shine, I set my panel aside to dry.

For the sentiment, I stamped “Trick or Treat” from the Halloween Word Scenes Stamps, colored it with coordinating OLO markers to match the background, added white gel pen highlights, and die cut it using the Halloween Word Scenes Coordinating Dies. To help the sentiment stand out, I adhered it to a black oval from the Eyelet Ovals die set with foam strips before gluing everything to my background.

To finish, I attached the completed panel to a white A2 card base. I love how the colorful cake pops create such a playful vibe, and the bold sentiment really pops against the black oval!

August Intro: New Stamps + Potion Bottle Shakers

Welcome to the last day of sneak peeks of our August 7th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the new stamps sets, along with the Potion Bottle Shakers die set.

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


Hey there, crafty ghouls and goblins — Arsenia here, with some frightfully fun crafty inspiration! It’s the last day of sneak peeks for the August Release, and we’ve saved some serious spooky fun for the grand finale. 

Get ready to fall under the spell of our new Potion Bottle Shakers, fabulous new stamp sets with coordinating dies, and enough Halloween charm to make you squeal with joy. This release is downright spooktacular, and I’m bubbling over with excitement for you to sink your fangs into all this crafty Halloween goodness! 

I started off with the brand new Layered Potions Stencil Set to set the mood, and then brought in the star of the show — the Potion Bottle Shaker die! Inside, I added a mix of the bits from the new Spellbound Shaker Beads — instant potion magic! 

To make this scene even cuter, I grabbed the adorable new Spider Friends stamp set (with coordinating dies of course!). These little spider cuties are already crawling into my favorites — just look at their faces! I colored everything with Olo markers and added some spooky flair with the new Halloween Greetings stamp set for the perfect potion sentiment.

And I couldn’t resist sneaking in a “Creeping by to say Hi” — because honestly, how cute is that?! 

But wait — a little crafty twist! My background was looking a bit too busy, so I sliced a piece of lime green cardstock on the diagonal to make it look like a little shelf for my potion scene. A few mini spider webs (from the new Halloween Holder Additions Dies) and a soft vellum oval using the Eyelet Ovals and BOOM — one wickedly adorable card complete with white gel pen highlights for that magical finishing touch. 

Card number two took a spookier turn — and I’m obsessed! I started by blending ink onto lilac cardstock using the new Spooky Trees Background Stencil, then added a dash of white splatter to summon that eerie nighttime vibe. 

Enter my new obsession: the Halloween Word Scenes Stamp Set + Dies. These images? SO. MUCH. FUN. I colored them all up with my Olo markers and knew they needed a frame — so I reached for my trusty Wonky Stitched Rectangles Dies. To give the frame a little haunted texture, I did partial stenciling with the new Crackle Background Stencil. Perfection!

Once everything was in place, I added even more creepy-cute details with bonus images from the Spider Friends and Halloween Greetings sets. And then — wait for it — I had the ghoulishly brilliant idea to add googly eyes peeking through the trees… YES, like little monsters watching from the shadows! EEK! It’s spooky, it’s whimsical, and it makes me giggle every time I look at it!

So grab your broomsticks, your markers, and your love of all things spooky — and check out the rest of the design team’s BOO-tiful creations below! 

We hope you’ve enjoyed all the sneak peeks so far. We’ll be revealing all the products in picture form tomorrow, so you can start making your wish lists before the August 7th release date.

August Intro: Cat Holder + Halloween Holder Additions + Trick or Treat Shadow

It’s Day 3 of sneak peeks for our August 7th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the Cat Holder + Halloween Holder Additions + Trick or Treat Shadow die sets.

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


Hi friends! It’s Christina, and I’m back to brew up some fun with a couple of sneak peeks at the new Cat Holder and Halloween Holder Additions sets- the latest additions to the popular critter holders collection. These die sets are part of the upcoming Halloween release that will be available on August 7th. This release has everything you need to get your spooky season crafting started, and we have some wickedly good ideas and inspiration to share with you. Let’s get started!

I’m sharing two cards featuring the new Cat Holder and Halloween Holder Additions sets, including one with a shaker element. To help my scenes come to life, I shopped my Pretty Pink Posh stash and pulled in some of my favorite previously released Halloween goodies. 

For my first card, I placed my Cat Holder in a Stitched Pumpkin patch and gave him a fang-tastic costume using elements from the upcoming Halloween Bucket Additions die set. Those bat wings are the cutest! The EEK word die, the jack-o’-lantern, and the spider web along with the little spider, are included in the Halloween Holder Additions set. Finally, I gave him a little ghost garland to hold, which is from the Halloween Mug Additions die set. 

For the background, I wanted to continue the pumpkin patch theme and stenciled just the vines from the Layered Blooming Vines stencil set onto teal cardstock using Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Inks. For just a little sparkle, I spattered the background with Frosted Juniper Mica Stain. I assembled the pumpkin patch scene onto my background and added a greeting from Sentiment Strips: Halloween stamp set along with a sentiment from the upcoming Halloween Greetings stamp set. The finishing touch was to add a few white clay stars from the Stargazing Clay Confetti.

For the shaker card, I started with the Crackle Background Stencil from the new release, using a blue-gray ink color and then adding black splatter and a spritz of Frosted Juniper Mica Stain. For the Cat Holder, I used elements from the Halloween Holder Additions set for her costume, including the fish and the witch’s hat and broom.

I filled the Cauldron Shaker with an assortment of Pretty Pink Posh Halloween bits and pieces before topping it off with a bubbling fish brew from the Halloween Holder Additions. Hocus Pocus is from the upcoming Halloween Greeting stamp set, which I heat embossed right onto the front of the acetate.

To finish things up, I embellished the scene with magical sparkles, a couple of spider webs, and a few fluttering bats.

August Intro: Fringe Pumpkin + Spider Shaker + Spider Web Cover Plate

Welcome to the second day of sneak peeks of our August 7th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the Fringe Pumpkin, Spider Shaker and Spider Web Cover Plate die sets.

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


Hello crafty friends! Christina here to share a spooktacular sneak peek. This new collection is full of spooky cute images, fun new stencils, and incredible die sets perfect for all your Halloween paper crafting projects! You’ll find four days of sneak peek inspiration here on the blog, so be sure to check back for even more frightfully fun Halloween crafting ideas.

But first, let’s take a closer look at my inspiration project featuring the cutest creepy-crawly spider you ever did see!

For my background, I started with a teal cardstock panel and spritzed it with Wonderland Mica Stain to give the panel a little shimmer. Then I layered on the Spider Web Cover Plate die-cut from plain white cardstock.

Next, I die-cut a couple of Stitched Ghosts from lavender cardstock and, for a little shading, inked the edges with whatever color was leftover on my purple blending brush. I added their cute little faces and moved on to constructing the shaker element for my card. 

First, I taped the two Spider Shaker dies together with low-tack tape; that way they would die-cut exactly the same each time. Then, using dark gray cardstock, I die-cut the spider seven times. I inked the edges of the top one with a little Black Soot ink for some shading and added acetate to the back for the shaker window. I stacked the other diecuts under it, and before attaching the backer piece, I added the Spellbound shaker beads. What an easy shaker! I brought this spider to life with a smiling face and dressed her up in a green witch’s hat from the Halloween Mug Addition Dies.  

Next, I stamped a couple of Halloween Word Scenes and colored them with Copic markers before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies. I also heat embossed a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Halloween Stamp set on a black fishtail Sentiment Strip banner. To finish things up, I attached all the elements to my background panel and added a few clay embellishments from the Boo To You Mix

We hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek. These dies are so fun! Join us tomorrow for another look at our upcoming Halloween release.

August Intro: Halloween Cake Pops + Halloween Bucket Additions + Happy Halloween Shadow

Welcome to the first day of sneak peeks of our August 7th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the Halloween Cake Pops, Halloween Bucket Additions and Happy Halloween Shadow die sets.

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


Hello crafty friends! Arsenia here—and I’ve got a few ghoulishly adorable things to share for Day 1 of our August release sneak peeks! Today, we’re getting a first look at the Halloween Cake Pop DiesHalloween Bucket Additions, and the Happy Halloween Shadow Dies—and friends, let me tell you, this release is fang-tastic! 

I’m totally embracing a whimsical Halloween color palette inspired by the new Spellbound Shaker Beads and Halloween Friend Mix Clay Bits—think Aqua, Lime Green, Lilac, and a splash of Black. Untraditional? Yes. Fun? Absolutely!

Let’s dive into the spooky sweetness with two cards I created using these spooktacular new goodies.

For my first card, I started with an A2 panel and brought it to life using the brand-new Spooky Trees Stencil. I added some inky splatters in those fun Halloween hues and jumped right into die-cutting with the new Halloween Cake Pop Dies.

I made an Aqua Pumpkin—because hey, who says pumpkins have to be orange? Then I created the cutest little Frankie and a sweet ghost to join the party. The background got a little wild, so I softened it with vellum using the frame from the Fancy Cake Dies—a go-to trick of mine!

To build a scene, I added a Spooky Fence Die and the tiniest spider web from the new Halloween Holder Additions Dies. For my sentiment, I used the new Halloween Greetings Stamps + Coordinating Dies for my sentiment.

And of course—embellishments galore! I wanted a festive party vibe, so I added streamers and stars using the Big Celebration Cupcake Dies, plus a couple of little bats from the Cake Pop Dies. A sprinkle of Mini Star Confetti for sparkle and ta-da!—one super cute Halloween scene done!

For my second card, I brought the spooky fun again with another inky A2 panel using the new Spooky Trees Stencil, this time with Aqua and lilac tones, plus some snowy white splatters.

Then came the star of the show: a Bat Bucket using the new Halloween Bucket Additionswith the original Candy Bucket Die Set. I’m obsessed with this bat—it’s just too cute!

I framed everything with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Dies, popped up the Bat Bucket with foam tape, and dove into embellishing. More bats, stars, spider webs, candy corn—and yes, a googly-eyed spider thanks to the new Spider Web Cover Plate Die. (Because Halloween isn’t complete without googly eyes, right?)

For the sentiment, I used the “Halloween” from the new Happy Halloween Shadow Die, paired with “Happy” from the Upright Greetings – Halloween stamp set, cut using the Sentiment Strips Dies. And because I couldn’t resist, I topped the bow on the sentiment with—you guessed it—another googly eye!

Dinosaur Shadow Box

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m happy to be back on the blog with this super cute Shadow Box showcasing two sweet dinosaurs in their tropical habitat. It was not intended, but as I’m writing this blog post, I’m realising that those dinosaurs remind me of Littlefoot and Cera from The Land Before Time, one of my favorite animated movies from childhood.

I started off by stamping all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the matching dies to cut them all, and my Ohuhu markers to color everything. As always, here is a detailed list of the stamps sets I used: • Dinosaur Friends – apatosaurus, palm trees, leaves, grass • Dinosaur Additions – triceratops, volcano • Simple Thanks – large greenery • Jungle Friends – flowers.

Once the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, attached the lava splatters above the volcano using a small piece of acetate, and then started working on my Shadow Box.

I cut two Shadow Box panels out of aqua cardstock, kept one of them, and used the rectangle die from the set to cut an opening out of my panel. I added a little bit of peacock feathers distress ink to the edges of both panels, and then created a leafy pattern on both of them using one of the Layered Leaves & Flowers stencils along with the same distress ink. I mixed that ink with water, used a slim brush to add splatters to my panels, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

For the background, I cut a 4 x 3 inches panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, started by covering it with shabby shutters distress ink, and then added a tree pattern using the Layered Birch Trees stencils along with mowed lawn distress ink. I splattered water on my panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed a bit of rustic wilderness distress ink with water, and added green splatters to my panel using my slim brush, as well as white splatters.

To ground my little scene, I cut three basic insert pieces out of green cardstock using a Shadow Box die. I used the grass border die from that set to turn two of my basic inserts into grass inserts, and the cloud border die to turn the third one into bushes. I added a little bit of rustic wilderness distress to the top of each insert, mixed that same ink with water and added green splatters on each piece, and then white splatters as well.

Before assembling my box, I used the scalloped rectangle die and the rectangle die from the Shadow Box die set to cut a frame out of white cardstock. I assembled my Shadow Box, attached the inserts and the back panel using liquid glue, stuck the white frame using liquid glue again, and then stuck all the images on the inside, outside and sides of the box using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

I white heat embossed “Hello friend” from Friend Greetings on the same aqua cardstock as the box, cut it with the matching die, added a little bit of peacock feathers distress ink to the edges, as well as matching splatters, and I finally attached my sentiment inside the box, right above the volcano, using 2mm foam squares.

And that’s it! I hope that this Shadow Box has inspired you to create your own little scenes. These are just so fun to put together! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Summertime Box Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today with a fun beach themed boxcard featuring these super cute images from the Beach Fun and Summer Surfboards stamp sets. I love how the older Summer Surfboards Stamp set matches perfectly with the new Beach Fun Stamp set.

I stamped the images from the Beach Fun Stamp and Summer Surfboards Stamp sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the Beach Fun Coordinating Dies and Summer Surfboards Coordinating Dies to diecut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Sandcastle: E31/33
Blue: B000/00/02/04
White: C00/1
Yellow: Y11/13/08

The Scallop Box Card Die was used to diecut the box card and three shelves out of white, light blue and kraft cardstock. I stamped the “Wish You Were Here” sentiment from the Beach Fun Stamp set onto the front scallop panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The box card was assembled with liquid adhesive. Finally, I decorated the box card with all of my colored images.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my box card. Have a wonderful and crafty day!
