4th of July Basket

Hello, crafty friends! Leica here today with an A2 card to share with you all. I can’t seem to put the Easter Basket Die and the Floral Corners stamp set away! This time, I filled the basket up with red, white, and blue flowers, and some firecrackers for a Fourth of July theme.

Let’s get started! I first cut my panels in red, white, and blue cardstock. For the red cardstock, I used the Layered Stars Stencil in white pigment ink for a fun background. I also white heat embossed with the little stars from a previous release, Camping Friends. Next, I added Sparkling Clear Stars Sequins here and there. I then cut the panel with the Stitched Notes Die for stitching details around the panel.

I then die cut the basket in white cardstock and the bow from Tulip Cover Plate Die in blue cardstock. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the flowers from the Floral Corners stamp set and the firecrackers from the 4th of July stamp set. I used Copic Sketch Markers in B000/91/93/95, R24/27/29, YG21/23, Y11/13.

I layered my panels in red, white, and blue order. Then I adhered the stamped images onto the card. Lastly, I white heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and glued it down onto the card.

That’s all for this Fourth of July card. I hope you enjoyed today’s card share and that I have inspired you to create cards for your friends and family.

Clean And Simple: Hummingbird Birthday

Hello, Gemma here for a new Clean and Simple post. I’ve used the Slimline Floral Cover die on my CAS card today. This pretty and intricate die looks beautiful with a clean and simple look.

Pretty Pink Posh- Clean And Simple: Hummingbird Birthday

I began by die cutting the Slimline Floral Cover die twice from white card and layering them together for dimension.

On my slimline card base (3.5 x 8.5 inches) I blended on Salvaged Patina distress oxide ink.

Next, I die cut a vellum panel, using a die from the Slimline Peekaboo Window die set. I adhered this behind the floral panel, before adding them to the card base. The vellum helps to diffuse the colour underneath.

I stamped images from the Hummingbird Thanks stamp set and coloured them with copic markers (R81, R83, R85, BG000, BG11, BG13). I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I found the perfect stitched rectangle for my sentiment from the Storybook 2 die. I die cut it three times from white card. On one of the pieces, I stamped a sentiment from Birthday Friends with Versafine Onyx Black ink, then heat embossed with a clear embossing glitter.

I adhered the three layers together for dimension, then added to the centre of my slimline card. Finally, I used foam tape to add the hummingbirds either side of the sentiment panel.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Vibrant Slimline Card featuring Spectrum Noir Markers + Video

Hi, it’s Mona here, today I am sharing with you a touch of summer with tricolor cats in my newest coloring video tutorial.

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

For this project I have used the Flower Bouquets, Nautical and Cuddly Cats stamp sets. I have also used the Slimline Peekaboo Windows die set as a card front.

Pretty Pink Posh: Vibrant Slimline Card featuring Spectrum Noir Markers + Video

I stamped the images with alcohol marker friendly brown inkpad and colored the images with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator and Classique Markers.

The used colors: LY1, LY2, CT1, CT2, CT4, GY3, BO1, BO2, OR1, OR2, BG5, BG6, BG8, EB7, TN1, FS9, BG1, BG6, BT1, JG2, AG1, AG2, CG1, TB2, TB5, LV3, HB3, LV2, PL2, BP1, BP2, BP3, BP4, PP1, FS2, PV1, MG2, Blender. Classique’s: BG05, TN05, CG05, MG05, BG05. Check out the coloring processes with useful tips in the video. After the coloring I added white highlights with white pen and pencil as well.

The next step was the card front. I created a die-cut with the larger die from the Slimline Peekaboo Windows, then I stamped the Life is an adventure sentiment from Nautical stamp set with watermark ink, and heat embossed it with white fine embossing powder.

After this process I made a quick ink blending on it with Cummerbund and All That Jazz inkpads by Catherine Pooler. When it was done, I splattered It with clear water and let it dry.

In the end I styled my card and put it together with 3D adhesive. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Summertime Grid Background

Hi Friends! Jane here today! I’m so excited to be sharing a card featuring new summer products from Pretty Pink Posh!

For this card, I used the new grid stencil to create a colorful background for my center image and greeting. After laying the stencil down on a white piece of card stock, I ink blended a background using the following distress ink colors: seedless preserves, wilted violet, tumbled glass, kitsch flamingo, squeezed lemonade, dried marigold and abandoned coral.

Next, I stamped the images from the new Summer Fun and Summer Wreath sets using versafine black ink and colored them using zig clean color brush pens. White gel pen used for accents on the images. The images were then cut using the coordinating die sets and adhered to the card front using foam tape.

The sentiment from the Summer Wreath stamp set was white heat embossed on black cardstock and cut using a paper trimmer. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using liquid glue.

Next, I trimmed down the card front using a paper trimmer and mounted it to an A2 white card base and that completes the card!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Hope you all have a wonderful summer!

Summer Greetings

Hey crafty friends! Elaine here to share a super fun summer card using fabulous new products from the Pretty Pink Posh June release!

To start this card, I cut a piece of copic friendly cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5”, this will be trimmed down later. Using the new Summer Wreath stamp set, I used a black copic friendly ink to stamp the palm tree, water melon, umbrella, ice lolly and ice cream multiple times all over the card panel. I like to start with the biggest stamps first, in this case the palm tree and then worked down to the smallest stamps to fill in any gaps. My preferred method for creating my own background using little stamps is to mount the stamps on to an acrylic block and stamp direct to the card. I have used a stamp positioner in the past, but it takes a lot longer….and I am impatient 😉. I then colored all the images. I used quite a lot of different marker combinations for this project, and I have listed them all below. I love the fun and vibrant colors and think they all work lovely together:

Palm tree: E29, E27, E25, G17, YG23, YG03

Watermelon: R37, R35, R32, G28, G07, G05

Umbrella: BG15, BG13, BG11, Y15, Y13, Y11, RV66, RV55, RV52

Ice lolly: R29, R27, R24, YR07, YR04, YR02, Y15, Y13, Y11

Ice cream: R85, R83, R81, E57, E55, E53, R39, R35

Once I colored all the images I trimmed the panel to 5 1/8” x 3 7/8” and secured it to a piece of hot pink cardstock measuring 5 3/8” x 4 1/8” to leave a nice border. After applying some liquid adhesive to the back of the hot pick card panel I secured to a white A2 size base.

For the sentiment I went small and simple to ensure my background was the star of the show. I used the sentiment ‘Summer Greetings’ from the same Summer Wreath stamp set and stamped it with a black pigment ink on to some white heavy weight cardstock. I carefully trimmed this with a guillotine trimmer and layered it on to a piece of black cardstock with a small border to help the sentiment stand out on the colorful background. I adhered the sentiment with a piece of foam tape to the centre of the card front.

For some final embellishment I added small jewels in the shades Watermelon, Caribbean Blue and Lemon Drop in gaps around the images. I also added some highlights with a white gel pen to the images to help them pop.

I hope you enjoyed this project, and it brings you some inspiration for your own summer themed cards. I cannot wait to see what everyone else creates with the products in the June release!

Day 3: Blog Hop+ June Release Now Available

Hello, Gemma here and today my card is in the style of a scrapbook layout and features lots of summery June release products.

I began with the background. I created a gel print patterned background, with evergreen bough, mermaid lagoon, and cracked pistachio distress oxide inks.

Over the top of the print, I blended salvaged patina distress oxide ink through the new Squiggles stencil. The texture of the background shows through the ink on top and it’s a nice contrast in the swirl areas of the stencil.

I layered this background print over a large square card base. My card base is 148mm square, as this fits my U.K. cardstock, but a slightly smaller 5.5 inch square card base would work well too.

Next, I die cut four of the previously released Stitched Photo Frames from white card. I layered two frames together for dimension, and stamped a sentiment on each from the new Summer Fun stamp set.

On two of the insert pieces, I created day and night beach scenes with masking and distress oxides. Here are the colours I used:

Day beach scene is tumbled glass for sky, mermaid lagoon for sea, antique linen and frayed burlap for sand
Night beach scene is tattered rose and kitsch flamingo for sky, blueprint sketch for sea, tattered rose and dried marigold for sand

I added some copic markers and white gel pen dot details on the sand, to give the beach some texture.

Next, I stamped images from Summer Fun and Summer Wreath stamp sets and coloured them with copic markers. The smaller images from the Summer Wreath stamp set are perfect for adding to my beach scenes. I die cut the images with the coordinating dies and arranged on the card, using foam tape for dimension. Finally, I added white gel pen highlight details to the images.

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE

Hello friends! Ready or not, Summertime is upon us! It’s Leica here today with an A2 sized card, featuring the new Vacation Scene Die. This is a fun new addition to the previously released scene Dies – Spring, Winter, and Beach.

Let’s begin! I first die cut the Vacation Scene Die in white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch Markers. I used BG15/11/000, E47/44/43/33/31/30, N3/1, Y15/13/11, RV11/10/00, V17/15/12. I then adhere the pieces back together by gluing them onto a circle panel.

For the fun background, I inked through the new Layered Surfboards Stencil in Seedless Preserves, Milled Lavender, Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar, Fossilized Amber, and Antique Linen distress oxide inks.

I added stitching details around the panel by running it through my die cut machine using the Stitched Notes Die. I then glued the outer area of the panel onto an A2 card base, and for dimension, I foam taped the center part. I also foam taped the scene die for even more dimension. Lastly, I white heat embossed the Happy Summer sentiment from Summer Fun stamp set onto a strip of black cardstock.

Hi Friends! It is Melody here today and I have a card to share with you that I created with the new Summer Wreath stamp set and coordinating dies. I love the PPP Wreath Collection and the summer theme is a fun addition to the collection.

I started by stamping the wreath in black ink and coloring the images with Copic Markers. I die cut the wreath with the Summer Wreath coordinating die.

The stamp set includes additional images besides the wreath. I chose some of the images to stamp, color, and die cut to add to my card. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set in the middle of the wreath and added the sunglasses below the sentiment. In the left corner I added the sun.

I added additional images at the bottom of the card, attaching some of the images with foam tape to add dimension.

To create the card front I cut a piece of white cardstock and blended Speckled Egg Distress Ink on the white background. Next I cut the wave with the new Stitched Waves die set. I cut the wave from white cardstock and blended Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. I splattered a little bit of white paint on the wave.

Next I cut a strip of Kraft cardstock and tore the edges to add to the look of sand. To finish the card off, I blended Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink on the edges.

Sneak Peek: June 2021 Stencils

Hi Friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be sharing a sneak peek of some of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on June 14th.

My first card uses the fun new Layered Surfboard Stencil Set. This is a two pack of stencils. The first stencil creates the base of the surfboards and the second stencil adds the detail. I attached the first stencil to my card panel and used post it notes to mask off each surfboard. I added dye ink to each individual surfboard and then moved the post it note to cover and uncover the next one accordingly. This was an extra step though definitely worth it to be able to create a rainbow. Once my first layer was finished I attached the second stencil to my panel. I once again masked off each surfboard and applied the same color of ink for the detail.

For my sentiment, I stamped and die cut the word Summer from the Summer Drinks Set. I then used the Sea Friends set to stamp the word Hello. Lastly, I trimmed my panel down, attached it to an A2 card base and attached my sentiment with foam adhesive.

My next card uses the new Grid Stencil along with the Summer Drinks stamp set.

I started my card by creating my card panel with the Grid Stencil. I masked off the four squares and applied dye ink directly onto my panel. I love the graphic look you can create with this stencil.

Next, I stamped my drinks and sentiment with the Summer Drinks set. I colored the images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Lastly, I attached my images with foam adhesive to the card panel. Don’t you just love this stencil? It makes the perfect background.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my cards and I will be back soon to share another project with you all.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Sneak Peek: June 2021 Dies

Hi Friends! It is Dana here with a card that will have you dreaming about summer and vacation. Today’s card features two new dies from the June 14th release!

I started my card by creating my background with one of the dies from the Stacked Edges 3 Die Set. I pulled out cardstock in a rainbow of colors and ran the die through my die cutting machine multiple times. I attached the scallops to a piece of paper and then trimmed the edges to make my card panel. Next, I used the Vacation Scene Die to create my focal image. Such a fun die and I love how easy it is to use.

*If you haven’t seen the previous Stacked Edges 1 and Stacked Edges 2 die sets, they are must haves!

Lastly, I used the Summer Surfboards stamp set to stamp my sentiment. I stamped the sentiment onto a black cardstock strip with VersaMark ink and heat set it with white embossing powder.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my “summery” card.

Enjoy your day, Dana
