I first cut a 5” square panel and inked through the A layer of the Layered Coffee Cups in Gina K. Amalgam Ink. Next, I inked through the B layer in Spun Sugar and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks. For the C layer, I used Spun Sugar and the Gina K. Amalgam ink.
Next, I cut the mug from the Winter Mug dies in pink cardstock and shaded the sides with Copic R00. I stamped the sentiment from the Holiday Sentiments on the mug. For the hot cocoa, I cut it in kraft cardstock and added Copic E70. I assembled the candy cane and decided to turn it upside down to make it a chocolate wafer stick.
I then watercolor sheets of cardstock in shades of green and red. Once dry, I used the Winter Foliagedies to cut the flowers and greenery for my little floral arrangement. I splattered some white paint before gluing it onto the card panel.
I glued down the elements on the card panel and layered it with a 5.25” square patterned paper. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a 5.25” card base.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope that I’ve inspired you to make cards with these new products from PPP!
Hey friends! It’s Mindy with you today and I am sharing how I’m stretching the use of my holiday stamps. I’m also going to step it up a little and use non-traditional holiday colors.
Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube
I’m going to be starting with the Snowflakes stencil and adding it to white cardstock using a light gray ink. I wanted something subtle so it didn’t overpower my images.
Next, I’m going to use the Pine Wreath stamp and instead of using a traditional green, I’m going to stamp it in blue ink.
I’m going to use a bunch of the smaller elements from the Pine Wreath stamp set and color them with some Triblend alcohol ink markers in some non-traditional colors. Then use the coordinating die to cut them out.
Before I attach anything to my card front, I’m going to stamp my sentiment so it’s in the center of the wreath. The Mouse Friends stamp set not only has some adorable images but a really good versatile sentiment.
Then I can add my wreath and smaller elements for foam squares.
This wreath would be great all year round by just switching up the color you stamp it in and the smaller elements you decorate it with.
Hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration and gives you some ideas on how you can stretch the use of your holiday stamp sets just by changing up colors and sentiment.
For the sentiment, I die cut a Stitched Strip from white card. I chose a sentiment from the Holiday Sentiments stamp set, and repeat stamped it across the stitched strip.
I adhered the sentiment strip across the centre of an A2 card base, followed by a heart border above and below. I then added each layer of my Christmas sweater design, trimming away anything overhanging. Having the images go off the card will give the illusion that the pattern continues.
All the layers are adhered with liquid glue, to reduce dimension and make it easier to mail out.
I hope this card inspired you to use your smaller images in new, creative ways.
Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. One of my favorite types of cards to make is a shaker card. Today I’m sharing a shaker card I made using the Mitten Shaker die set.
Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a fun Christmas card that is easy to recreate. You can use this concept for any holiday and change out the images/ colors.
I started my card by making my card panel with the Circles stencil. I ink blended red, green and aqua ink with finger daubers to create my background. I love how this stencil can be used for a traditional card panel but also works great to create a grid for smaller images.
Next, I used the Joy, Pine Wreath, Poinsettia Corners, and Christmas Friends sets to stamp my small images. I colored the images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Lastly, I used the Holiday Signs stamp set to stamp my sentiment onto my panel and then added my small images with foam adhesive to finish my card.
Thanks for joining me today and I hope I inspired you to use the Circles stencil to create a card of your own. There are so many possibilities and I can’t wait to recreate the same design for another occasion.
Hello everyone, Zsofia here. I am super excited to participate in Holiday Theme Week with Pretty Pink Posh! I love to make Christmas cards and mixing old with new, this is how this cute scene was born in my head. And because I love to dress up the presents, I also created a coordinating tag.
I started with stamping and colouring the images from Happy Santa and Reindeer Friends. I used Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and cut everything out with their coordinating dies.
Then I did some ink blending on Bristol Smooth cardstock with Distress Oxide inks: Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch and Salty Ocean. I spritzed the panels with water and dabbed it off with a paper towel. Then I used theSnowfall stencil and white texture paste to create a night background with snow.
While it was drying I did some die cutting: I needed a snowbank from white glitter cardstock and also a sentiment. I chose theMerry Christmas script, cut it from gold glitter cardstock and once more from black and layered them on top of each other tiny offset, so it looks like it has a shadow. It helps the sentiment stand out.
When the background was dry, I cut it down to be a bit smaller than an A2 sized card front and adhered it to a top folding card base. I assembled the scene and popped up Santa with 3D foam squares.
As a finishing touch I used a clear shimmer pen on the furry parts of Santa’s costume, glossy accents on the ribbon and reindeer noses, and added some highlights with a white gel pen.
For the tag I used the Decorative Tag 1 die set, and did the same steps as above. I punched a hole on the top and added a thick red and white twine to it.
I wish you enjoyed my project and you will pop in again tomorrow for more inspiration.
I started by ink blending through the layer A of the Layered Christmas LightsStencil in Pigment Craft Co Lagoon ink on a 5” panel. Next, I cut 2 marshmallows, the mug, and candy cane from the Winter Mug Dies and colored them with Copic markers.
I glued the mug directly onto the card panel and added a small cluster of florals cut using the Winter Foliage. For the sentiment, I cut the “merry” from the Merry & Bright Script in pink glitter cardstock and a few times in white cardstock for dimension. I then stamped out “Christmas” on a strip of Kraft cardstock and foam mounted it onto the card panel. I glued some gold pearls on the center of the flowers and added someRuby Red pearls on the card panel for added interest.
Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a green card base and added a 5” square writing area in white cardstock inside the card.
Hi, everyone!It’s Marge with you today for the day 4 of Holiday Theme Week. I’m going to share how to make a simple card with unusual colors. I used to use white bristol paper for ink blending of backdrops or diecuts but recently I found that using light colored cardstocks make your ink colors more unique. So here’s how I did that.
For the background panel, I ink blended an A2 sized Cream cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks Worn Lipstic, and Tattered Rose using a blending brush.You can get more shaded & saturated colors without giving much effort to ink blending by using the colored cardstock as a backdrop.
Next, I placed Snowfall Stencil onto the panel, then I applied white molding paste through it to make a snowy background. I set it aside and let the paste dry.
Next, I die cut the smallest tree from Pine Trees Dies set out of Fog Gray Cardstock. I cut three pieces and added different colors to each diecut as shown in the picture below.
I splattered with white gouach and gold metallic inks all over the tree die cuts and backdrops and let them dry. For a message on the card, I chose Merry and Bright Script Die and die cut it out of white, white glitter, and matte gold cardstocks. I glued each layer for dimensional look
Now it’s time for assembling. I addhered trees on the bottom using foam tapes and on the top I glued the Merry and Bright Script. For embellishment, I adhered 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins around the diecuts and finished off my card.
That’s it for me for today. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my card. Happy crafting!
Hello crafty friends! Davina here and I’m very excited to be participating in the Holiday Week! I just love creating with Pretty Pink Posh products, I really appreciate the cute illustrations and how wonderfully the stamps sets coordinate with previously released products. The cute Christmas box card that I’m sharing today has a blend of Holiday sets from present to past.
I built this box card with mint colored cardstock and some patterned papers that have red, pink, green, and mint. For the background panel, I ink blended some pretty pink shades and splattered with water and white ink. Then I used theLayered Snowflakes stencilsto create a pink and white blizzard which includes some raised embossed snowflakes.
I like to focus my coloring, to match with my papers, so that it all feels themed. I stamped many images from Happy Santa and Reindeer Friends. After coloring the images and using the coordinating die cuts to perfectly cut my images, I added small white dot highlights. I adhered my images throughout the layers of my boxcard making sure that none were completely hidden. Then, I heat embossed some snowflakes on vellum and tucked them into the scen on skinny acetate strips so they look like actual snowfall.
To finish off the boxcard, I used gold embossing powder for the scripty “Joy” sentiment from the new Pine Wreath stamp set(I love that it has a coordinating die!) and mounted it onto a white banner that reads “to the world” from an older Joy stamp set. I think the bright red cardstock really packs a punch for the front.
Finally I stamped my sentiment onto the back and added a few little details and one more reindeer to make this beautiful from all angles. I hope that you enjoy this festive and bright card, make sure that you visit the the PPP shop to see the incredible products and take advantage of all of the holiday deals!
Hello crafty friends! It’s Rachel here with two Holiday-themed projects to share with you. I have always loved combining different stamp sets when creating cards because it helps you to design something that is totally different each time, therefore stretching your crafty stash.
The first project that I created was an A2 sized shadow box card. When upright, this card measures at 4″ across and 4.25″ tall. When folded, it measures at 4.25″ x 5.5″ and fits perfectly into an A2 sized envelope for mailing. This type of card is super easy to make!
Create your box base by trimming two pieces of card stock to 7″ x 4.25″ and scoring them both at 1.5″” and 5.5″ on the long side.
Next, die cut a shaped-window (I used a circle here) into one of the pieces, fold both pieces along the score lines and attach together.
Add shelves on the inside (4.75″ long at whatever height you choose). Score at 3/8″ from each side to form tabs.
Attach your images
I stamped all of my images onto a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored them with Copic Markers. For my images, I stamped some adorable penguins from the Penguin Pals Stamp Set, and some birds and a wintery branch from the Winter Woodland Stamp Set. I then used the coordinating Penguin Pals and Winter Woodland Die Sets to cut them out.
I added a snow drift to the front of my card, making sure to stamp my sentiment prior to attaching this piece. For my background, I blended some Pinkfresh Studio Seaside Ink onto a piece of 3 7/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of smooth white card stock.
For my second card, I created a one-layer card using the Mouse Friends Stamp Set combined with the adorable little Santa hats from the Penguin Pals Stamp Set. I used some Gina K. Designs Magic Masking Paper to mask my images while I stamped so that some images appeared as if they were in front of other objects. With my masking paper still in place, I blended a quick and easy background with some Salvaged Patina Distress Ink.
I love how cute these little mice look with their Christmas hats! Once again, I used Copic Markers to color my images. (Grays: W00, W1, W3, W5; Reds: R14, R46, R89).
Once I was done coloring, I trimmed my card down so that I could layer it with both some teal and white card stock pieces. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Stamp Set.
I hope you enjoyed my projects today! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by! If you liked this card and want some more crafty inspiration, please feel free to check out my INSTAGRAM feed! Wishing you all a lovely day!
