Cards

Hi friends! Leica here and today I have an Easter card using products from the March release. 

Let’s get started! First, I cut a blush colored cardstock down to 4.25 x 5.5 inches. Using the new Spring Flowers stencil, I inked with Picked Raspberry, Mowed Lawn, and Mustard Seed distress oxides. I then ran the panel through the die cut machine using Stitched Notes die and glued down the outer frame to a card base. The middle piece was foam mounted for added interest and dimension. 

Next, I die cut vellum using Decorative Tag 2 to mute the background so that the sentiment would stand out against the floral background. For the sentiment, I die cut the Fancy Easter Script three times and stacked them up for dimension. I adhered the sentiment to the vellum and glued the vellum down to the card panel. 

I love butterflies and the Mom stamp set has super cute butterflies that I just had to add to my card. I colored them with Copic markers in V15/12/000. Lastly, I added Sparkling Clear Jewels for added interest. 

This card was so fun and simple to create. I hope it inspires you to make Easter cards for your family and friends.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone! Mayra here with you today. I am so happy to be here. I am sharing a fun shaker card using the adorable new Easter Bunnies stamp set. 

I started by coloring the images I would be using. I also used the small stem of leaves from the Mom stamp set.  The color palette was inspired by the awesome Party Pop Clay Confetti mix. I love the bright colors in this set. Next, I used the grass border from the Nature Essentials die, the larger stitched rectangle from the Slimline Peekaboo dies set, the larger of the scalloped frames from the Slimline: Scallop Frames die set, the speech bubble from the Stitched Speech Bubbles set, and the Stitched Gift Holders set. 

I used Distress Oxide inks to add color to the sky areas and the grass. I also used the coordinating dies from the Party Days stamp set to create the scalloped square scenes for the bunnies. 

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I pray you each have a wonderful and blessed day. 

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today.  Hasn’t it been a fabulous week full of Easter goodness?  Theme weeks at Pretty Pink Posh always get me excited for the upcoming holidays, and I’m extra excited this week because I adore spring and I adore Easter. It’s a season of hope and brightness and things made new, and I wanted to capture that in my card. 

Snow drops and daffodils are some of the first flowers to emerge in my yard each spring, and they inspired the colors on my card.  This card has quite a few layers, so I’ll start with the card base.  I took just the stem/leaves stencil from the Spring Flowers Stencils, flipped it sideways, and blended green ink.  I love the fresh feel this adds to the card and how just a little turn of the stencil gives you a totally different look.  

Next, I took the Spring Eggs Die and traced a repeated pattern on a piece of cardstock lightly in pencil.  I used that as my guide to cut out all the eggs.  Using the panel of negative images here is a subtle nod to the empty tomb, but by popping it up with foam tape, it also adds some great dimension to the card.  

The next layer was created by embossing two of the images in the beautiful Floral Corners stamp set with white embossing powder on vellum.  Then, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  

The final layer was created by cutting the Fancy Easter Script Dies in bright yellow, gluing them onto a white panel and trimming around the entire sentiment. I popped that up on top of all the other layers, and voila!  Card done. :)

I often snap a photo of my cards on top of all the supplies I’ve used to create them, so I can remember later on, and I thought it might be fun to share that.  Looking at this photo makes me smile lots because I truly LOVE each and every product I used.

If you haven’t picked them up yet (or any other favorites you may have seen this week), I highly recommend you doing that today while everything in the Easter Section is 15% off.

Thanks so much for joining me today! 

Hi friends! It’s Jane here sharing some inspiration for Easter theme week! Be sure to shop the Easter section for 15% off items in this category all week!

Today, I’ve created a bunch of colorful egg shaped Easter cards using Pretty Pink Posh products!

To create these cards, you’ll need various colored cardstock (scraps work well too!) and a few Pretty Pink Posh dies! The egg shape was created using the Scallop Ovals die set which was cut from white cardstock. For the inner pieces, I used the Stacked Edges 1 die set in the zig-zag pattern and scallop pattern.  

Moving from left to right I’ll mention all the various scraps of cardstock I used to create these colorful eggs.

Card on the far left moving top to bottom: fuchsia (Stamp Market), hibiscus burst (Papertrey Ink), coral reef (Stamp Market), fake tan, apricot and sticky note (all Lawn Fawn).

Next card (2nd over from left) moving top to bottom: coral reef (Stamp Market), apricot, sticky note (Lawn Fawn), icy mint (Bazzill), mermaid and moonstone (Lawn Fawn).

Middle card (top to bottom): sticky note, fake tan (Lawn Fawn), berry sorbet (Papertrey Ink), fuchsia Stamp Market), mermaid (Lawn Fawn), juicy pear (Bazzill).

Next card from top to bottom: icy mint (Bazzill), mermaid, moonstone (Lawn Fawn), candy necklace, easter grass, juicy pear (all Bazzill)

Last card (farthest on the right) from top to bottom: sticky note, fake tan (Lawn Fawn), cotton candy (Stamp Market), berry sorbet (Papertrey Ink), raspberry and fuchsia (Stamp Market).

After all the pieces were cut, I adhered them to a piece of light weight cardstock (printer paper also works) in various color combinations. Then, I adhered the white frame to the top of the patterns and cut the edges using scissors.  This creates the front of the card.  

Next, I used the same scallop oval die to cut a folded piece of cardstock leaving the top edge off my cutting plate. The pressure from the die cutting machine will cut the frame out of the top portion of the card but will leave an indentation on the inner portion. To remedy this, I just added another die cut white frame to the inside.  I also added a piece of white cardstock (cut with scissors) to the back of the front flap of the card.  You can see the image below.  Don’t worry about the front of the card, the colorful frame will cover it up when you adhere it to the front of the card.  

To create the bunnies, I used the new Easter Bunnies stamp set to stamp the images in copic friendly black ink and colored them using copic markers. I also stamped and colored the easter baskets and eggs to add inside my cards. The sentiment “happy easter” is also from the new Easter Bunnies stamp set and I stamped it on the inside of each egg shaped card using black ink.  

White gel pen was used to highlight the images and the images were cut using the coordinating dies and adhered using liquid glue.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed this fun Easter project using Pretty Pink Posh products!  Be sure to stop by the store and save 15% off all Easter section products this week!  

Hello Everyone! This is Melody on the blog today. Thank you for joining me for Day 5 of the Pretty Pink Posh Easter Theme Week. I love the new Easter Basket Dies.  The basket has great stitching details and is so fun to fill! I have two cards to share with you, one with a basket of Easter eggs and one with a basket of flowers. 

My first basket is filled with pretty easter eggs created with the Spring Eggs stamp set and Spring Eggs Coordinating Dies. My eggs are colored with Copic Markers.  I tucked eggs under the rim of the basket with the grass behind the eggs. The sentiment and flower accent is from the new Easter Bunnies stamp set and stamped on a tag die cut with the Mini Tags Dies.

I stenciled the background with the new Pretty Petals Stencil. At the bottom I added two strips of grass with the Nature Essentials Dies. 

I finished off the card with a frame also cut with the Nature Essentials Dies. 

On my second card I filled the basket with flowers. The flower stamp and additional flowers that accent the basket are part of the Floral Corners stamp set, one of favorites from the new release! 

Here’s a closer look at the basket and the great stitched details. At the top I tied a bow with a gingham ribbon. The background is stenciled with the new Butterfly Background Stencil on white cardstock with a lavender ink. 

At the bottom I added a sentiment from the previously released Easter Blessings stamp set. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. 

Thanks for joining me today! I hope I have given you ideas on ways to fill your easter basket! 

Welcome to Easter Theme Week! It’s Jeanne and I hope you’re loving the designs from the team! There are so many great Pretty Pink Posh products to choose from that the hardest part is always deciding what to play with!  

** All items in the Easter Section are 15% off during theme week! **

My favorite cards to make usually feature a scene. Whenever I receive a new stamp set I always stamp, color and cut each image 8-10 times.  Accent images that I know I will use A LOT of – like the flowers in this set I stamp even more times.  I switch up the colors so I have lots to choose from. 

This card starts with a Distress Oxide inked background in Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron. I added Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn along the edges to create some depth before splatting the panel with water and white ink. 

Now for the fun part.. making a scene!  I arrange the images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base – this allows me to move things around before I commit and adhere the images in place. I can also lift the entire piece and lay it on top of different color inky backgrounds to help me choose the perfect one. 

I stamped a sentiment directly on the inked panel, and added a Spooky Fence cut from white card stock  to help define the grass from the sky.    Finally I adhered the Easter Bunnies stamp set images. Some are adhered flat to the card base while others are adhered with adhesive foam tape.  This adds more dimension. The little butterflies are from the Mom stamp set. 

I hope you’ll stop by tomorrow when we’ll be sharing more projects made with Easter themed products from the shop. 

Hello Crafty Friends! Elaine here today on Day 3 of Pretty Pink Posh Easter theme week!  For my card I have used the Easter Friends stamp and die set to create a fun and card that I am sure anyone would love to receive.  I’ve also added some other stamps from Holiday Pals (bunny bow) and Mom (butterflies).

I started this card by stamping the images on to copic friendly card with a copic friendly black ink.  I coloured the images with the following copic markers (many are repeated on the card):

Pink: R85, R83, R81

Blue: B24, B23, B21

Yellow: Y15, Y13, Y11

Bunny: E27, E25, E23, E21

Boy Hair: E49, E27, E25

Girl Hair: E77, E74, E71

Girl Bunny Ears: E74, E71, E70, R22, R20

Skin: E13, E11, E00, R22, R20

After the images were all coloured, I cut them out with the co-ordinating dies and then set them aside so I could work on the base/background of the card.

I created a white A2 card base by cutting a piece of white heavyweight card 8.5” x 4.25” and then scored and folded at 5.5” along the longest side. For the background panel I cut some more heavyweight white card to 5.5” x 3 7/8” and then used the Stitched Borders 1 to create a scalloped edge on the top and bottom.  

Using Distress Inks in Stormy Sky and Peeled Paint I gently blended on colour at the top and bottom of the panel to help give my characters a scene to ground them on.  For extra interest I used the same ink colours and added some paint splatters.  To do this I ‘smooshed’ the ink pads on to my glass mat, added a drop of water and used a small paint brush to flick on the colour.  The panel was left to dry for 10-15 minutes.  

Using liquid adhesive, I secured all my characters to the ink blended panel and then popped on lots of coloured easter eggs to finish off the scene.  

Before securing the panel to the card base, I stamped the sentiment with a black pigment ink.  On the back of the panel, I glued a rectangle of fun foam and then secured it to the card base.  I love the dimension the fun foam gives the panel.  I adhered the butterflies along with some pearl jewels.

Thank you so much for joining me today. Be sure to pop back to the blog tomorrow for Day 4 of inspiration!

Hugs, Elaine xx

Hello friends, Leica here. It’s Easter Theme Week at Pretty Pink Posh and today I have 2 shaker cards to share with you. 

For the first card, I took a 4.25 x 5.5 inch panel and ink blended the top with Kitsch Flamingo and the bottom with Cracked Pistachio distress oxides. I splattered white and gold paint for added interest. I then ran the Scallop Ovals die in the center of the panel to make a frame for my shaker card. I adhered clear acetate to the back of the panel and before adding the foam tape, I stamped the Happy Easter sentiment onto the acetate using Staz on Ink. Next, I added the foam tape around the frame. My favorite one is from Heffy Doodle, as it is thicker than the 3M tape and there’s no need to double stack to create the well for the shaker elements.  I then made my A2 card base and ink blended with Antique Linen distress ink. For the shaker, I used Sherbet Clay Confetti mixed with Sunshine seed beads. I love the way the shaker beads sound! 

Now that the base for the shaker card is ready, I stamped, color, and cut the eggs from the new Spring Eggs stamp set, the cute girl in bunny costume from the Easter Friends stamp set, and the ribbon from the Easter Bunnies stamp set. I used Copic Markers in pastel colors for a soft look.

Lastly, I adhered the images onto my card.For the second card, I stenciled the front with the Easter Background stencil in the same inks I used above.   The shaker bits I used are Sugar & Spice Clay Confetti, seed beads in Blue Sky and Azalea Pink. The adorable bunnies are from Bunny Friends.

I hope these shaker cards inspire you to create Easter cards for your friends and loved ones. Thank you so much for stopping by, stop by tomorrow for another day of inspiration!

Hi friends, Tammy here! I’m so excited to be kicking off  Easter Theme Week with Pretty Pink Posh! I’m sharing a slimline card, combining older sets with some new items, to create this fun Easter scene!

** All items in the Easter Section are 15% off during theme week! **

To begin, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets:
Bunny Friends/ Coordinating Dies
Easter Bunnies/ Coordinating Dies

Next, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock using the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies. I ink blended the background with Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks, adding some splatters for interest. I then cut the grassy borders using the Nature Essentials Dies, ink blended with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn inks and pieced them together to span across the length of my card. I arranged the sweet images onto my card, adding foam squares on some for dimension. 

Lastly, I die cut pink cardstock 3 times using the Fancy Easter Script Dies, stacked together, and attached across my card. I then attached my card front to a white 3 1/2 X 8 1/2″ card base to complete my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you are inspired to create some fun Easter, or Spring cards! See you tomorrow for Day 2 of Easter Theme Week!

Hugs,
Tammy
