Sparkly Interactive Halloween Card + Video

Hi, it’s Mona here, and I can’t wait to show you how I made this pinky-sparkly Halloween card with an interactive twist! From my newest video on Pretty Pink Posh YouTube Channel you can learn how to easily transform word die-cuts to the wished shape.

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

I made the glittery background with the Stars stencil on a pale pink cardstock with the Silver Glitz Glitter Gel. In the video I am showing you what is my favorite method for this process.

While the background dries, I stamped the Halloween Wreath and the other coordinating images from the same stamp set with brown alcohol marker friendly inkpad to a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored them with Spectrum Noir Illustrators.

I have used the following colors: CT1, CT2, CT4, GY3, BO1, BO2, BO3, BO4, OR2, OR3, CR1, CR3, CR5, CR7, GB1 GB4, GB6, GB10, RB3, RB1, AP4, AP3, AP2, PP1, FS1, MG1, MG2, BG1, BG2, Blender.

After the coloring I die-cut all the images and I colored the wheel with a pale pink alcohol marker.

Next, I continued with the die-cutting. I made more die-cuts from heavy weight cardstock, because I wanted to add thickness to the wreath and the spiders, in this case the interactive part will be more durable. Then I transformed the Happy Halloween Die-cuts made with the Happy Halloween Script Die. This is a fun way to alter the scripted sentiments, in the video I am describing how.

When it was done, I created the interactive element and added the spider to the circle with fishing line, and created the card front. I covered the glittery background with a piece of vellum, and styled the circle, the sentiment and the other elements.

In the end I styled my card and added some Metallic Rose Gold Sequins to it as a decoration. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Hugs, Mona

Halloween Cats Box Card

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a Halloween box card filled with the cutest Pretty Pink Posh cats and their treats from Halloween night.

Let’s start! For the design, I ink blended Shaded Lilac through the new Trellis Stencil. I just love using stencils for a patterned paper look and Pretty Pink Posh has a variety to choose from, so make sure to check them out on the website.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo ink, colored with Copic markers, and cut with their coordinating dies.

The images I used for this card are from different stamp sets:

Cats – Cuddly Cats Stamp Set

Candies, witch hats (fussy cut from the wreath), spider – Halloween Wreath Stamp Set

Cat in Circle, pumpkins on the sides of the box (fussy cut) – Halloween Circles

Small pumpkin bags – Halloween Friends Stamp Set

Sentiment – Halloween Pals Stamp Set

I adhered the images with liquid glue and stamped the sentiment onto the rectangle panel in the front. I also made a matching tag using the new Halloween Circles Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies.

That’s all for this Halloween box card. I hope I’ve inspired you to look through your stash and mix and match old and new stamp sets. Happy crafting!

Birthday Monster Trio

Hello everyone! Mayra here and I am so happy to be sharing this set of cards with you today using the new cute and fun Monster Hugs stamp set.

I started by coloring the images I would use to create the set of cards. Along with the Monster Hugs stamp set, I used the Cupcake Critters stamp set, Party Friends, Let’s Party, and Reindeer Friends stamp sets.

After coloring the images, I started creating the base panels for each of the cards. I started by die cutting the base layers using the Slimline Peekaboo Windows, Slimline Scallop Frame, Scallop Square Tag , Celebrate Shaker, Simple Strips, Stitched Film Strip to create the designs for each of the cards using the same soft pastel color palette.

For the sentiments on the slimline card, I used the speech bubbles from the Stitched Speech Bubbles die set.

I hope you enjoy these cards I created to share with you. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by.

Stretch Your Stencils + Video

Hi, it’s Mona here, if you like stencils like me and you want to get more from them, don’t miss my cool trick on Pretty Pink Posh YouTube Channel.

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

For my background I have used the Hibiscus Flowers stencil set to achieve this beautiful look with various Distress Oxide colors. I have used: Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Wilted Violet colors. For the full process visit the video tutorial.

Pretty Pink Posh: Stretch Your Stencils + Video

I stamped cute tiger from my favorite summer set, the Summer Fun stamp set, and now I will show you how I colored it as a bleached tiger with my coloring guide below. Before the coloring I gave a quick heat set to the image, this will prevent the ink smearing. And I started with a grayish green color, because it makes the fur warmer and more natural, then I followed the coloring like on the guide.

Instead of coloring, I made an ink blending through the Hibiscus Stencil with yellow, turquoise and pink inkpads and blended them together. The result was this pretty rainbow look.

Next, I continued with the sentiment. I stamped the summer text from the Summer Drinks with a watermark ink to a piece of violet cardstock. Then I sprinkled on it white embossing powder and heat embossed it to get a nice and crisp white sentiment, then I die-cut it. I repeated the same thing but with the Thanks a bunch sentiment from the Simple Sentiments set, this time on an orange cardstock.

Next, I cut the sentiment, as well as the created background for a 5.25” by 4”. I wanted to add to the card something colorful, so I stamped and colored some surfboards too with my alcohol markers.

In the end I styled my card and added some squeezy lemons to my card as a decoration. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Halloween Boo

Hello, Gemma here. Today I have a fun Halloween card to share featuring new and old Pretty Pink Posh sets.

I began by creating the background. I blended out from the centre using distress oxide inks in picked raspberry, wilted violet, blueprint sketch, chipped sapphire. I then flicked the panel with water to get lots of distress details.

On the panel, I stamped a greeting in clear embossing ink, from the new Halloween Wreath stamp set, and embossed it with WOW Super Fine Opaque Bright White embossing powder.

From the centre of the panel, I die cut the Boo Shaker die. I’ll keep these die cut pieces for another card. I adhered the background panel to a square card base, leaving a small white border.

Next, I die cut the Boo Shaker die from black and orange card, and twice from white card. Any pieces I don’t use this time can be saved for another card too.

I layered the two white die cuts together, then adhered them into the space on the card. From the orange die cut, I took the inner pieces and inlaid them in the pumpkin. I then cut the wording from the black die cut and adhered this over the white word.

I stamped out images from the previously released Halloween Pals stamp set, along with the new Halloween Wreath stamp set. I coloured the images with copic markers and die cut with the coordinating dies.

I attached some silver embroidery thread from the boo word to the spider, then used foam tape to add the images to the card.

I love the fun, bold colours of Halloween and combining new and old Pretty Pink Posh sets together.

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

Trick or Treat Wreath

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a Halloween card that uses the new Halloween Wreath stamp set.

I started my card by stamping the Halloween Wreath with a Copic friendly black ink. I then colored the wreath images with Copic markers and used the Halloween Wreath coordinating die to cut it out.

For my card panel I used a die from the Stitched Borders 1 die set to create my zig zag edge at the bottom of my white panel. I then splattered the panel with a little paint and set it aside to dry. Next, I began working on the stripes at the bottom. I used the Simple Strips Dies to cut a variety of strips in coordinating colors. I attached the strips to a thin piece of paper, added the white panel and trimmed everything down.

Next, I stamped my sentiment from the Halloween Wreath set onto a piece of black cardstock and heat set it with white embossing powder. I then attached the wreath over the sentiment with foam adhesive for a little added dimension. Lastly, I attached the cute little spice to a piece of baker’s twine and hung it down from the wreath. That little spider just makes me smile.

Hi everyone! Jane here sharing these fun Halloween tags featuring the new Monster Hugs set!

To create these cute tags, I first cut the base of the tags from Bristol cardstock using the Stitched Duo 3 die set. Next, I blended the panel using the following distress oxide inks (top to bottom): black soot, faded jeans, salvaged patina and speckled egg. Next, the background was splattered with water using a thin paintbrush and the tags were left to dry.

While the backgrounds were drying, the images from Monster Hugs were stamped, colored using copic markers and die cut using the coordinating dies. White gel pen used to accent the images. The black background pieces were die cut using the Nature Essentials die and black cardstock.

Finally, all the elements were adhered to the tags with the excess around the edges snipped off using craft scissors. The monsters were adhered using thin foam squares to create dimension. Lastly, I used a hole punch at the top of the tags and tied them using some thread to finish the tags.

Day 2: Blog Hop+ August Release Now Available

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE

Hello hello! It’s Leica here today with a Halloween box card in pastel colors. For this box, I used the new Halloween Wreath stamp set. I love all the previously-released Pretty Pink Posh wreath stamps and am so happy that there is a Halloween version now. This is just so fun to color and the size of it makes it easy to fill up a card.

I first ink blended Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Ink through the new Candy Background Stencil before cutting the panels for the card box. I then assembled the box using Heffy Doodle Big Shadow Box Die and die cut a 3 inch circle in the middle of one of the panels. This opening is the perfect size for the wreath to be glued on top of later. I added 2 grass inserts inside the box using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink. For the background, I used the new Spooky Sky Stencils to make my own patterned paper: the clouds were blended with Tumbled Glass, bats with Wilted Violet, and stars with Mustard Seed.

I then stamped the Halloween Wreath with Memento Tuxedo black ink on 110lb white cardstock. I colored with Copic Markers – BV01/00/000, B02/00, G43/40, R85/83/81, N3/1/0, Y18/15 and cut with the coordinating die. I glued the wreath on top of the opening in the front of the card. I also stamped the cute little ghost from the same stamp set and attached it to the insert using a strip of acetate. Next, I white heat embossed 2 more ghosts on vellum and glued them to the back insert using acetate. I flipped one of the vellum ghosts for a mirrored look. They look super cute inside the box card, but can’t really see them in the photos.

I then white heat embossed the “Happy Halloween to you” sentiment on a strip of black cardstock and foam mounted it to the front of the card. I also added 3 little stars for added sparkle.

For the tag, I used the 3 inch circle that I cut out from the front panel of the box. I stamped the ghosts image from the Halloween Circles stamp set and cut with the coordinating die. I also cut the zigzag circle, which is included in the coordinating dies, in white cardstock and colored with Copic B000.

Sneak Peek: August Stencils + Dies

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a sneak peek at a few of the new stencils and word dies coming to Pretty Pink Posh on August 10th.

My first card uses the fun new Candy Background Stencil. I started my card by creating a background with the Simple Strips Dies and colored cardstock. I then sprayed the back of the Candy Background Stencil with Pixie Spray and attached it to my panel. Next, I used a blending sponge and applied white pigment ink to my panel. I love the look of the pigment ink on the colored strips.

For my sentiment I used the new Trick or Treat Script die set. I die cut the sentiment three times and stacked them together before attaching them to the center of my panel. I then stamped, colored and die cut a few of the candies from the new Halloween Wreath set. I thought the little candies coordinated well with the candy background. Lastly, I attached the candies and card panel to my A2 card base with foam adhesive to finish my card.

My next card uses the new Spooky Sky Stencils.

The Spooky Sky Stencil Pack is a 3 pack of stencils that are so fun and easy to layer to create a Halloween sky. I used blending brushes and dye ink to create my panel. Once I was finished, I splattered my background with a little black and white paint for some added detail.

For this card, I used the new Happy Halloween Script die to create my sentiment. I ran the die through my die cutting machine with black glittered cardstock 3 times. I then stacked the die cuts together and attached them to the center of my panel. I once again used the Halloween Wreath Set for my smaller images. This time I stamped, colored and die cut a few bats and ghosts from the set to coordinate with my card.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my cards and I can’t wait to share the rest of my release projects with you all.

Sneak Peek: Halloween Circles

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the Halloween Circles stamp set. This is a fun addition to the other previously-released circles stamps set: Valentine, Spring, and the exclusive limited-edition Summer Circles.

Let’s begin with the card! For the background, I first stamped the small images from the new Halloween Wreath stamp set onto a 3.5 x 8.5 inch white cardstock and colored with Copic markers: B000, N5/3/1, V7/15/12, Y18/15/11, YG25/23/21, YR07/04/00. I also stamped the 3 little dots from an older set, Boo stamp set. I then cut the panel with the largest die in the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies.

Next, I stamped the images from the new Halloween Circles stamp set and used the same Copic markers mentioned above. I then cut with the coordinating die cut. This stamp set has 3 different die cuts included in the coordinating set and they make for beautiful layers and can also be used for tags. I cut the zigzag circles die in colored cardstock and foam mounted the circle stamps. I then adhered the circles onto the card panel.

On a strip of black cardstock, I white heat embossed the Happy Halloween sentiment and the Trick or Treat sentiment from the new Monster Hugs Stamp Set, part of the August 10th release. Lastly, I adhered the sentiment strips between the circles and added another layer of orange cardstock that is cut to 3.5 x 8.5 inches.

That’s all for this card. I hope that you are excited about the new release and that I’ve inspired you to make Halloween cards!
