Cards

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.

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! 

Hello hello! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the new Halloween Wreath stamp set, which will be available on August 10th. This wreath stamp also comes with other images and sentiments for all your Halloween projects. If you like this set, make sure to also check out the rest of the Wreath Collection. I’m sure you’ll love them, too! 

For this circle card, I first stamped the wreath in black ink and colored it with Copic markers: B000, N5/3/1, V7/15/12, Y18/15/11, YG25/23/21, YR07/04/00. I cut it with the coordinating die. 

I then cut a 4 inch circle and blended Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink through the Spider Web Stencil. I also cut a 4 inch circle in vellum. I used the vellum to soften the look of the web.

Foam tape is added to the back of the wreath and adhered onto the vellum. I then added glue to the back of the wreath and adhered it to the black web. Next, I  added another layer of color on a 4.5 inch circle by ink blending with Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks. 

On a strip of black cardstock, I white heat embossed the Happy Halloween sentiment and adhered onto the center of the wreath. To finish the card off, I added Glossy Black Jewels for added interest. 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek and that you are inspired to create with this new stamp set. 

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at the new Monster Hugs stamp set from the August release!

Monsters are such fun to colour as there are no rules, no colours you can’t use. Go vivid or muted, use complimentary or contrasting tones… just enjoy the colouring as you really can’t go wrong.

I stamped out lots of the monsters and used my copic markers to colour them in. I chose colours opposite on the colour wheel that complemented each other. I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

For the background, I took a square panel of card and die cut one of the previously released Scene dies from the centre. It’s not only the perfect size window opening for my sentiment, I can also use the outer circle frame on my card.

On a piece of black card, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Monster Hugs stamp set with white embossing powder. I secured this behind the white square card panel, to show through the circle window opening, then added the circle frame around it.

I cut a larger black square panel and adhered this to my white card base, to leave a small white border. I then adhered the white panel on top.

I arranged the monsters around the circle opening and adhered them using foam tape for dimension to finish.

We hope you enjoyed today’s blog post. We’ll see you tomorrow for another sneak peek!
