Gingham Valentine Wreath

Hi, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a square-shaped card using the new Valentine Wreath stamp set and its coordinating dies. I just love this set and it’s a great addition to the other previously released wreath sets. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Gingham Valentine Wreath

To start, I cut a 4.5″ square panel in white cardstock. I ink blended it with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink then made a gingham pattern by inking Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink through the Wide Stripes Stencil, both horizontally and vertically. To mute the background a bit, I cut a 4.5″ square in vellum.

I then stamped the Valentine wreath on white cardstock, colored with Copic sketch markers, and cut the wreath with the coordinating die. I foam mounted the wreath onto the vellum. For the sentiment, I heat embossed “love you” in gold onto black cardstock and cut with the coordinating die. I foam mounted the sentiment on the vellum, in the center of the wreath. To adhere the vellum onto the card panel, I turned it over and added the liquid glue behind the wreath. Next, I adhered the panel onto a card base – 4.5″ x 9″ scored and folded at 4.5″. Lastly, I added Pink Blush Pearls around the wreath for added interest.

I hope that you like this love card using the new Valentine Wreath stamp set. Thank you so much for stopping by today! Happy crafting!

Love Hearts Cover Plate

Hi friends! Leica here today with an A2 sized Valentine’s Day card. For this card, I used the new Love Hearts cover plate die. It’s super easy and fun to make cards with this die and I hope you will give it a try.

Pretty Pink Posh: Love Hearts Cover Plate

To start, I cut the Love Hearts die in white cardstock. I then colored the flowers with Copic markers in R85/83/81 and the leaves with G43/40. For the yellow centers of the flowers, I simply cut small squares of  yellow cardstock and adhered them behind the flowers. Next, I adhered the cover plate onto an A2 sized dark pink cardstock.

For the 2 hearts, I inlay the pieces and added pink dots with Copic marker R83. I colored the hearts with a gold marker, stamped “Happy Valentine’s Day” on one of the hearts, and added the “love you” script on the other. This script is from the Valentine Wreath stamp set and coordinating die. I cut a few pieces and stacked it for dimension.

Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a card base. That’s all for this card. Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Sneak Peek: January 2022 Dies & Stencils

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a few new sneak peeks for the new release coming to Pretty Pink Posh on January 6th.

My first card uses the new Scattered Hearts stencil. I ink blended my card panel with Distress Oxide ink in Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar. I then laid the Scattered Hearts stencil on top of the panel and used Festive Berry, Picked Raspberry and Kitsch Flamingo ink to add my hearts. 

Next, I used the new Sending Love set to stamp my cute images and sentiment (sending lots of). I colored the critters with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Lastly, I used the new Hugs Script die to complete my sentiment.

My next card uses the new Love Hearts background die. There are so many possibilities with this die. I decided to make a Valentine’s Day card but I can’t wait to use it for a wedding card.

I started my card by running the Love Hearts die through my die cutting machine two times. I stacked the dies together and then attached them to a card panel that had been ink blended with Peacock Feathers ink. I then added Kitsch Flamingo ink to the two heart pieces and inlaid them back into the frame.

Next, I used the Floral Hearts set to stamp my wreath. I love the way the wreath fits perfectly around the heart and creates such a sweet frame. I then used the new Sending Love set to stamp my bird. I colored the images with Comic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Lastly, I used the new Valentine Wreath set to stamp my sentiment. 

Thanks for joining me for today’s sneak peeks. I hope I inspired you to create some Valentine cards of your own. 

Enjoy your day, Dana

Sneak Peek: Sending Love

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of a new stamp set with the cutest critters. This stamp set is called Sending Love and I think this would not only be a great set to have for Valentine’s Day, but can also be used year-round for birthday cards and other occasions. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Sending Love

I decided to make a slimline card to have room for all the adorable critters. To start, I cut the largest panel from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Die in white cardstock. From the bottom up, I ink blended the panel with Distress Oxide Inks in Vintage Photo, Festive Berries, and Worn Lipstick. I then used Festive Berries and inked through the Scattered Hearts Stencil. I also splattered the panel with black and white acrylic paints.

Next, I stamped, cut, and colored the images from the Sending Love stamp set and coordinating dies. I used the following Copic markers:
Raccoon – C7/5/3/1/00
Monkey – E77/74/71
Fox – E99/97/95
Mailbox – R32/30
Dog – E53/50
Box – BG09/05/13
Bird – RV23/10/00

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Sending Love

I foam mounted the images onto the card panel. I love that the “happy mail” script has a coordinating die cut. I cut 3 additional pieces and stacked them up for dimension. I then white heat embossed “sending lots of love” on a strip of black cardstock and adhered onto the panel. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a 3.5″ x 8.5″ teal cardstock before adhering onto a card base.

That’s all for this slimline card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to create a card with the Sending Love stamp set. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Sneak Peek: Love Balloons + Love Borders

Hi friends, it’s Elaine from Pink Peppermint Cards. I am absolutely delighted to be back to share a sneak peek of some of the products in the new Valentine’s Day release!  

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Love Balloons + Love Borders

To start my project I stamped all the images from the new Love Balloons stamp set along with previously released Love Borders (we’re releasing coordinating dies for this set in this release!) with a black dye ink on to copic friendly card stock.  I used copic markers to color all my images, the colors I used were:

Balloons: R29, R27, R24

Pink: R85, R83, R81

Hearts: R59, R39, R29 

Rabbit: W3, W1, W0, RV11

Beaver: E27, E25, E23, E21, RV11

Racoon: W8, W6, W4, W2, RV11

Chipmunk: E37, E34, E33, E31, RV11

Once the coloring was done I cut out all the images with the Love Borders coordinating die and Love Balloons coordinating die. I set all the die cut pieces aside while I worked on the background. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Love Balloons + Love Borders

For the background I cut a piece of heavyweight smooth white card stock to 5.5” x 4.25”.  Laying down my panel horizontally I used blending brush to lightly blend on some Picked Raspberry Distress Ink on to the panel.  I started in the middle of the card stock and used circular motions to apply the ink, using a lighter hand the further out I pulled the ink.  I laid the new Scattered Hearts stencil over the top of my card panel and applied more ink through the heart openings, being careful not to use a heavy hand.  I avoided stencilling any hearts towards the bottom of the panel as knew I wanted to lay the love borders towards the bottom.

Setting the stencilled panel aside to dry, I applied foam adhesive to the back of all the die cut images. I love the dimension the foam tape gives.  Bringing back the card panel, I first laid the row of hearts along the bottom and laid a wider image from the Love Borders above it.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Love Balloons + Love Borders

I spent quite a while arranging the critter images and balloons on to the card front.  Once I was happy with the placement, I took a photo of them on my phone for reference then then carefully secured the critters to the card, then the balloons.  The ends of the balloon strings were adhered to the paws of the critters with a tiny dab of liquid adhesive.  

To create the sentiment, I treated a piece of black card stock with my antistatic powder tool and used the ‘Lots of Love’ sentiment stamp from the new Love Balloons stamp set and stamped it with a sticky clear embossing ink and coated with a fine white embossing powder.  I used my heat gun to melt the embossing powder until it was smooth and glossy, then trimmed into a thin strip.  I added a thin strip of foam tape on the back and adhered to the centre of the card.  The whole panel was then secured to a white A2 sized card base.

As a final embellishment to the card I added some shimmer to some of the colored elements with a clear sparkle pen and added some new Pink Blush pearls in various sizes all over the background of the card.

Thank you so much for joining me today!  I hope you enjoyed taking a quick sneak at some of the new products releasing this month. Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Crafty hugs, Elaine xxx

Sneak Peek: Valentine Wreath

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here and I am delighted to be giving you a sneak peek of the brand new Valentine Wreath set releasing on January 6th. I’m a fan of all of the wreath sets and am thrilled to be adding this one to my collection.  

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Valentine Wreath

I started by stamping and die cutting the Valentine Wreath.  It doesn’t take much to dress up these images. Because they are tiny in size, coloring is quick, which is a win in my book. I ended up just using two markers on this one – a light pink and a bright red.  

While I was coloring, the little bow and arrow reminded me of the adorable cupid in the previously released Valentine Circles stamp set.  This chubby little cupid fit too perfectly in the center of the wreath, so I had to use him.  I colored him with alcohol markers as well.

Next I stamped and die cut one of the beautiful script sentiments included in the set. Now that I had all my pieces ready to go, I decided to spruce up the background. I blended on pink ink, concentrating most of the color in the center. Then I splattered the background with pink and red dots. I created a diagonal line of sorts with the splatters to lead your eye to the sentiment, popped up all my images with foam tape, and called it a day.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Valentine Wreath

Thanks so much for visiting today! Make sure to keep popping in this week to see more sneak peeks and don’t forget to mark your calendars for January 6 when all these cute valentine goodies will be released. Wishing you a lovely day!

Merry Poinsettia Corners

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here and I have a Christmas card to share with you all, using new products from Pretty Pink Posh. For this card, I used the Poinsettia Corners stamp setChristmas Candles stamp set, and Holiday Scripts stamp set

Pretty Pink Posh: Merry Poinsettia Corners

Let’s start! I first cut a white panel using the Stitched Notes Die and ink blended Old Paper Distress Oxide Ink through the Wide Stripes Stencil (horizontally and vertically to create a gingham pattern). I then cut a sheet of vellum using the Stitched Notes Die so that I can use it to mute the color of the background.

Pretty Pink Posh: Merry Poinsettia Corners

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Poinsettia Corners Stamp Set and the small candle from the Christmas Candles Stamp Set. I used the following Copic markers: E42/41/40, G47/43/40, R39/37/35, T5/3/1, Y28/26. I adhered the poinsettias directly on the vellum. Next, I turned the vellum over and added glue behind the flowers and adhered the vellum onto the panel with a gingham pattern. I then foam mounted the candle and holly on the panel. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Merry Poinsettia Corners

I stamped the “Merry Christmas” from the Holiday Scripts stamp set and cut with their coordinating dies. I cut extras and stacked the sentiments for dimension. I’m absolutely loving the new PPP pearls and I added some Metallic Gold Pearls on my card. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a card base. 

I hope that you like this Christmas card. Have a wonderful Christmas season!

Christmas Theme Week- Day 7

Pretty Pink Posh: Christmas Theme Week- Day 7

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a circle Christmas card. For this card, I used a previously released stamp set called Winter Wreath Stamp Set and the new Winter Candle die. 

Don’t forget: all products in the Christmas section are 15% off through tonight!

Pretty Pink Posh: Christmas Theme Week- Day 7

To begin, I cut a 4.5″ circle in white cardstock and ink blended it with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink. I then cut a 4″ circle in white cardstock and stamped the wreath in Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers – B39/37/34, G46/43/40, RV25/23/21, Y26/23/21. I adhered the smaller panel onto the larger circle.

Next, I cut the Winter Candle twice – one in white cardstock and another in silver glitter cardstock. To easily piece the candle together, I turned it over and taped the edge of the border to the cut pieces. I then colored the candle with Copic Sketch markers – E42/41/40, G46/43/40, RV25/23, T5/3/1, Y18/13. Next, I adhered the silver glitter candle die on top to cover any coloring imperfections and for added interest. I foam mounted the candle onto the card panel for dimension.

Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a card base, which is a 4.5″ circle in white cardstock that I scored at the 3/8″ mark and glued onto the card panel.

That’s all for this Christmas card. I hope that you like today’s card share and I’ve inspired you to create cards for your loved ones.

Christmas Theme Week- Day 6

Jeanne here and I’m delighted to share a card that captures the magic of the season. Every year we like to head into the city to see the shop window decorations. Everyone is busy and bustling trying to complete their to do list, but there’s still a smile on peoples faces and a feeling of good will to each other. 

If you haven’t already, be sure to stop by the Christmas section as all items there are 15% off this week!

The Village stamp set captures that feeling for me.. seeing the bright lights in the windows, hearing carolers, the ringing of the bell for the Salvation Army collection, enjoying the twinkling lights and enjoying a warm cup of cocoa as snow lightly falls from the sky. 

I love that the buildings in the village scene capture home, shops and church. It’s a reminder to enjoy time with family, be generous, and keep the light and love of faith in my heart.  

The Village Additions stamp set makes it easy to complete the scene with trees, a lamppost, carolers, a bench and lots more. The simple sentiment is from the Holiday Scripts set. 

Wishing you days Merry and Bright as you rush down the busy sidewalks this time of year. Share your smiles kindness with all you meet. 

Jeanne
