Christmas Theme Week- Day 1

Pretty Pink Posh: Christmas Theme Week- Day 1

Hello, Gemma here today with a card featuring the new Poinsettia Corners and Christmas Candles stamp sets from the October release. I think these sets work so well together. I stamped images from both sets and coloured them with copic markers.

Pretty Pink Posh: Christmas Theme Week- Day 1

I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out, then started working on the arrangement.

On an A2 panel of white card, I cut a circle window from the centre, large enough for the Christmas Candles image to sit. I adhered a piece of grey patterned paper to my card base, then added the A2 panel on top.

To keep the sentiment simple and the focus on the images, I used my stamping tool to curve a simple sentiment around the edge of the circle. This sentiment is from the previously released Angel Friends stamp set.

All of the images have extra die cut layers behind for dimension. For extra embellishment, I added some Cherry Red pearls for the berries and Nuvo Glitter Accents in Aztec Gold to the centre of the flowers.

Thank you for stopping by. Be sure to visit us tomorrow for another day of Christmas inspiration!

Non- Traditional Baby Card

Hi, it’s Mona here, and in my newest video I will show you how I mixed these cute critters from different seasonal sets, and how I made this shiny sentiment in the center of my card.

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

Pretty Pink Posh: Non- Traditional Baby Card

First, I stamped the big baby sentiment from the Baby stamp set with watermark ink to a piece of teal cardstock, then I heat embossed it with my heat gun. After heat embossing, I picked my Prismacolor white pencil, and I made a quick coloring on these small images to make them pop out a little. It’s super simple, just a flat coloring. Then I added sparkly details with clear glitter pen and white blizzard Nuvo Drops.

Pretty Pink Posh: Non- Traditional Baby Card

I continued with the stamping but this time with brown alcohol ink friendly inkpad to a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I have stamped the images from the Monster Hugs, Pumpkin Patch Critters, Summer Drinks as well as the Baby stamp set. Then I colored them with alcohol-based Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers.

I have used the following colors: PP1, FS1, MG1, MG2, AP4, CR1, BO05, BO1, BO2, OR1, BO4, CT1, CT2, CT4, GY3, EB6, EB2, BG1, BT1, BT4, BT3, Blender.

Pretty Pink Posh: Non- Traditional Baby Card

After the coloring I die-cut all the images, then I picked the Slimline Peekaboo Windows Dies, and I fixed the coordinating baby die to the center of the die with a craft tape and then I run it through my die cut machine with a piece of pastel teal cardstock. I also made a bit larger white die-cut as a card front with the larger die from the same Slimline Die Set. Then I adhered the previously created baby text to the back of the slimline die-cut with liquid adhesive.

I wanted to break the smooth pastel look of this cardstock, so I blended some stars on it with light blue inkpad through the star stencil from the Spooky Sky stencil set. After this I splattered on it with white watercolor and gave it a quick heat set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Non- Traditional Baby Card

In the end styled my card with these lovely images. I like to use different types of adhesives, to add a bit dimension to the final look.

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Hugs, Mona.

Pastel Layered Ornaments

Hi everyone! It’s Leica here. Today, I have a simple yet beautiful Christmas card to share with you. This takes no time to make – thanks to the layered stencils from Pretty Pink Posh! For my card, I used the new Layered Ornaments Stencils

Let’s get started! First, I cut a 4.75″ square in silver glitter cardstock. I also cut a 4.5″ square in white cardstock. Now it’s time to ink through the stencils. I first used the C layer (the stencils are labeled on the bottom). The inks I used are Kitsch Flamingo, Milled Lavender, and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. Next, I used Glitz Glitter Gel in Silver through the B layer. I let this dry for a couple of hours before ink blending with Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Ink through the A layer. 

For the sentiment, I white heat embossed Merry Christmas from the Holiday Scripts Stamp Set onto a strip of black cardstock and foam mounted on the panel. I wanted more shimmer, so I brushed some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer in Glitter Gloss on the white areas of the card. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a card base. 

That’s all for this pastel and silver Christmas card. I hope you enjoyed today’s card share!

I first cut a 4.25″ x 5.5″ 110lb white cardstock and ink blended with Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Inks. I sprayed with some water and added white dots using a gel pen. Next, I cut the Leaf Frame Die in white cardstock and adhered it to the inked panel.

Autumn Theme Week- Day 6

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 6

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today, and I’m delighted to be celebrating Autumn Theme Week with you.  I adore this time of year and my project today was inspired by a wreath I look forward to hanging in our home during the autumn season every year.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 6

Because the stems are pretty delicate, it helps if you start with a base for your wreath.  Nearly all of the base will be covered up, so you can use any of the wreath coordinating dies, but the Autumn Wreath coordinating dies are a great choice.  Once I cut my wreath form, I blended on vintage photo distress oxide ink.  (This ensures that any parts that do remain uncovered don’t stand out.)  The bulk of my wreath is made up of just two of the Fall Foliage Dies.  I used the long narrow leaf stem (pictured in the upper left corner of the above photo) and one of the berry stems. 

To create the wreath, I die cut the narrow leaf stem 9 times, blending 4 stems with peeled paint distress oxide ink and 5 stems with vintage photo distress oxide ink.  I also blended dried marigold distress oxide ink onto 3 berry stems.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 6

I assembled the wreath in layers.  First, I put down the green stems, overlapping them slightly and curving them to fit the circular form.  Next, I added the brown stems.  Because I had more brown stems, I overlapped them more as I was gluing them down.  By using just a little adhesive at the base of each stem, I was able to fluff the stems to make the wreath look more full.  The final layer was the three berry sprigs, which I just tucked in between the leaves.  After I had everything the way I liked it, I flicked on some brown paint splatters.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 6

Now the fun part!  I stamped and embossed two sizes of pumpkins from Fall Corners and the little pinecone in Cozy Fall Critters. I blended vintage photo distress oxide ink and walnut stain distress ink on the pinecones and added just the tiniest bit of vintage photo ink onto the pumpkins. (I wanted them to appear white, but without a bit of color they were a little too white.) After fussy cutting them out, I tucked them here and there throughout my wreath.  I adhered the pinecones with glue and the pumpkins with dimensional foam since they would be bulkier in real life.  The final touch was a sprinkling of espresso pearls

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 6

To finish off my card, I popped the wreath up on a piece of barnwood patterned paper and embossed a sentiment from Woodland Thanks right in the center.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Make sure to come back tomorrow for more autumn inspiration and don’t forget to pick up some of your fall favorites while they are on sale this week!

Autumn Theme Week- Day 4

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 4

Hello friends! It’s Ashley with a pretty metallic card to help celebrate Autumn Theme week here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog!

I love to use nontraditional colors on my holiday and seasonal colors, and fall cards are no exception. One of my favorite colors for fall is pink! It goes so well with golds, especially in leaf piles like the one in the Leaf Frame die.

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 4

I started my card by blending Distress inks in Aged Mahogany and Tattered Rose onto white cardstock. I splattered the piece with watered down gold acrylic paint and used my heat gun to dry the drops. I cut the Leaf Frame die from more white cardstock and added it to the ink blended background. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 4

I used the Leaf Frame on metallic gold cardstock and gold glitter cardstock, taking care to keep the pieces together the best I could so nothing got lost. I then used the gold cuts to fill in the leaves of my white frame.

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 4

For my sentiment, I stamped the “thankful” script word from Woodland Thanks in VersaMark ink and embossed it with gold metallic embossing powder. I then stamped over it with VersaMark a second time and embossed again, this time with gold glitter embossing powder to create a glittery gold main sentiment. I cut it out with the matching die and added it to my card. I finished the sentiment with a phrase from Woodland Thanks, stamped in VersaMark and embossed with gold metallic powder.

Autumn Theme Week- Day 3

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 3

Hi crafty friends, it’s Mona. Welcome to day 3 of the Pretty Pink Posh Autumn Theme Week.

Stop by the Thanksgiving section at the Pretty Pink Posh store for 15% off products in that category this week!

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 3

To create this scene, first I grabbed my current favorite fall stamp set, the Cozy Fall Critters stamp set, and stamped the squirrel, some leaves, the most amazing pinecones and an acorn to a piece of Neenah Solar white cardstock with brown alcohol friendly inkpad.

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 3

After a quick heat set, I colored them with Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers. I wanted to achieve a rusty look for the squirrel, and an amber touch for the golden leaves, so I have used the following colors: TN8, TN7, TM3, TN1, FS8, EB4, EB2, BO3, BO1, CT4, CT3, CT1, FS9. I have also added white details to pop the images out more with white pigment pen.

For the background I have created a monochromatic fall tree look, using only pink shades. Started with my lightest markers to make the tree shapes, and finished with more vibrant colors to give it a dimension. I have used the following shades from the Spectrum Noir Illustrators: AP1, PP1, FS2, PP3, PP4, PP6.

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 3

Next, I stamped the Autumn scripty word from the Woodland Thanks stamp set with watermark ink and heat embossed with gold and white embossing powders. The thankful sentiment has it’s coordinating die, which is really cool. I love when the scripty sentiments have their coordinating dies. I also stamped the “wishes” word from the Holiday Scripts stamp set with dark brown ink.

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 3

In the end I styled my card and put the pieces together with 3D foam squares and liquid adhesive. Thank you so much for joining me for today, I wish you a peaceful autumn day.

Autumn Theme Week- Day 2

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 2

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a girly Autumn card as part of our Autumn Theme Week. I just love pink, no matter the season. So I thought I’d try it for an Autumn card and I’m glad it worked out for my card.

Be sure to shop the Thanksgiving section for 15% off items in this category all week!

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 2

Let’s start! I first cut a 5″ square in light pink cardstock and ink blended the bottom with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. I then cut a 4.5″ square in white cardstock and ink blended Gina K Designs Amalgam Ink in Warm Glow through the Leaves Background Stencil. I adhered the smaller panel onto the larger panel. I also cut a 4.5″ square vellum to mute the busy background and allow the leaves/wreath to stand out. 

Next, I used the Falling Leaves Stencil for some easy coloring. I used Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide Inks. I then lined up the coordinating stamps from the Falling Leaves stamp set and used my stamping platform to stamp over the stenciled leaves. For this, I used Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. I cut the leaves with their coordinating dies. I arranged the leaves in a wreath and foam mounted them onto the vellum panel. I then adhered the vellum to the 4.5″ square panel. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 2

For the sentiment, I heat embossed Autumn in gold and cut with the coordinating die. The word blessings is stamped onto a strip of pink cardstock and foam mounted in the center of the card. 

I couldn’t resist adding the little acorns from the Cozy Fall Critters stamp set onto my wreath. To complete the look, I also tied a bow using brown twine. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 2

Lastly, I cut a white 5″ square, scored at the .25″ mark, and adhered it to the card panel to finish my card.

I hope you enjoyed my pink Autumn card! Have an amazing day!

Autumn Theme Week- Day 1

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 1

Hi Friends! Jane here with a Thanksgiving card to kick of Autumn Theme Week at Pretty Pink Posh!

Be sure to stop by the Thanksgiving section at the Pretty Pink Posh store for 15% off products in that category this week!

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 1

To create this scene, I used a bunch of masking and stamping to create this one dimensional scene. To start, I used an A2 piece of Neenah heavy weight cardstock and stamped the turkey from Happy Turkey stamp set in the center of the card. Next, the turkey was re-stamped on masking paper and the mask was fussy cut using scissors.  Then, the mask was adhered to the turkey image on my card.  I repeated the stamping and masking  process with all the leaves from the Falling Leaves stamp set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Theme Week- Day 1

The images were colored using copic markers and a white gel pen was used to add accents to the turkey feathers and leaves. The sentiment from the Happy Turkey stamp set was stamped in black ink on the top of the card. Using a paper trimmer, the edges were cut to 3.75 inches by 5 inches and the card was mounted to a piece of deep orange card stock using sticky foam sheet.  Then the entire card front was adhered to an A2 card base and that finishes the card!

Trick or Treat Cards

Hello there crafty friends! Elaine here today to share a couple of simple cards ideas using some Halloween products! I couldn’t wait to use the Halloween Wreath stamp set; I just love everything about it plus all the little extra stamps included in the set.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Trick or Treat Cards

I stamped the wreath image and lots of the additional stamps that come in the set on to copic friendly cardstock with a copic friendly ink.  I then used my copic markers to colour all the images.  Here are all the markers I used:

Hat: C10, C7, C5, RV66, RV63
Candy corn: YR07, YR04, YR02, Y17, Y15, Y13
Candy 1: RV66, RV63
Candy 2: V17, V15, V12, BG15, BG11
Candy lolly: BV11, BV01, BV000, V09, V06
Frankenstein: C10, C7, C5, G28, G07, G03
Ghost: BV01, BV00, BV000, RV52
Spider: W8, W6, W4
Bat: W8, W6, W4
Jelly Bean: YG23, YG01
Star: V09, V06, V04
Moon: YR24, Y13, Y11
Large ghost: B01, B00, B000, RV52

I used the Halloween Wreath coordinating die to cut out all my images.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Trick or Treat Cards

For both card designs I used white card bases with a 4 ½” x 4½” front.  For the card with the wreath, I used a medium sized blending brush along with Distress Ink in Wilted Violet to slowly build up colour in a circle to create a halo background for the wreath to sit on.  I used the wreath to help me build up the intensity to ensure there was enough colour showing.  I added a few Wilted Violet ink splatters as well as some black splatters to help add more interest to the background.  

Using the Trick or Treat sentiment from the Halloween Wreath set, I stamped it in the centre of the card front with a black pigment ink.  The last thing to do was adhere the wreath, bat, and ghost and that finished up the first card!

Pretty Pink Posh: Trick or Treat Cards

For the second card I used some temporary spray adhesive on the back the Candy Background stencil and secured it over some smooth heavyweight white card. I gently blended some Distress Ink in Wilted Violet over the stencil to create a fun subtle background. After removing the stencil, I splattered on some watered down Wilted Violet and Black Soot Distress Ink with a tiny paint brush and cut the stencilled panel to 3 7/8“ x 3 7/8”. Next, I cut the Trick or Treat Script die from black card stock and secured it to the front of the panel with liquid adhesive. Using some of the little extra stamps I coloured I secured a few of them on the front of the card. To create the spider thread, I drew a line with a ruler and fine tip permanent marker, I love how cute Mr Spider looks hanging off the letter ‘t’! 

Pretty Pink Posh: Trick or Treat Cards

I matted my stencilled panel on to a light grey card panel measuring 4 1/8” x 4 1/8” and layered it on top of a purple panel measuring 4 ¼” x 4 ¼”.  Finally, the whole panel was secured to the front of the white card base. 

Thank you so much for joining me today, I hope you enjoyed these cards using some of the Halloween products!
