Hello friends! It’s Leica here today. I have a simple Christmas card to share with you all to kick off day 1 of the blog hop.

For this square-shaped card, I used images from the new Pretty Pink Posh Christmas Candles stamp set and Poinsettia Corners stamp set. Let’s begin! I first cut a 4.25″ square in silver glitter cardstock. I also cut a 4″ square and adhered it onto the larger panel.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Christmas Candles stamp set and Poinsettia Corners stamp set. I used the following Copic markers: E42/41/40, R39/37/35, T5/3/1, Y18/11.

I glued down the 3 large candles directly on the card. I also stamped “Christmas” and “sending love & light” on the card panel. Next, I foam mounted the smaller candles, poinsettia, and the “merry” greeting. For added texture and interest, I added Metallic Silver Pearls here and there.

We’re giving away this not-yet-released 4 layer stencil called Layered Plaid with qualifying orders over $125. This is while supplies last and will automatically be included with orders.

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. We are giving away 3 $25 gift certificates to three random comments (1 winner each day) left before October 19, 2021 at 11:59 PM PST. I’ll be announcing the winners next week, so be sure to return and see if you are one of the winners

Sneak Peek: October 2021 Dies & Stencils

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today with two cards that use a few of the amazing new stencils (and die) coming to Pretty Pink Posh on October 13th.

My first card uses the new Layered Ornaments Stencil. This is a three pack of stencils that make an adorable card panel. I ink blended each ornament with dye and a small finger dauber. I then used the second stencil and added the ornament detail with a shade darker ink. Lastly, I used the third stencil to add the silver ornament topper.

For my sentiment I used the new Holiday Scripts stamp and coordinating die set. I love this set of sentiments. They are perfect for all of your holiday and winter cards.

My next card uses the new Layered Holly Stencil. The Layered Holly stencils are three stencils that can be layered together to make the most gorgeous background.

I once again used dye ink and started with a light green to make the holly. I then used the second stencil to add the darker leaf vein. Lastly, I used the third stencil to add red berries. I then kept the third stencil in place and added White Glitz Glitter Gel to add a little extra sparkle to the berries.

Next, I used the new Winter Candle die to create my focal image. I die cut the candle from white cardstock and then inlaid the pieces back into the die with colored cardstock. I mounted the candle onto a circle that had been die cut with the Scallop Circle Die. For my sentiment I used the new Christmas Candles set.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you found some inspiration for the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on October 13th.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Sneak Peek: Winter Circles

Hello friends! It’s Leica here and today I am sharing a sneak peek of the new Winter Circles stamp set. There are 6 different images in this set and they are perfect for Christmas cards and tags. There is also a coordinating die set – a plain circle and a scallop lace circle. I decided to use all the images for my card.

For my card, I first cut a 5×7 panel in white 110 lb cardstock. I then cut a gold cardstock measuring 3.75″x7″ and a teal cardstock measuring 3.5″x7″. I glued these down in the center of the white panel. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Winter Circles Stamp Set. I colored them with Copic Sketch:

Browns – E25/23/21, E44, E50
Greens – G67/63/61
Golds – Y26/23/21
Teals – BG09/05/13
Reds – R27/24/22
Yellows – Y18/13

Backgrounds

Penguin – B00
Poinsettia- Y21
Candle – R22
Reindeer – G61
Snowman – E50
Holly – BG10

I then cut 6 of the scallop lace circles in white cardstock and glued the images on top of each one. Next, I foam mounted them onto the card panel. The sentiments are from the new Holiday Scripts stamp set. I white heat embossed the “merry” and “season’s greetings” on a strip of black cardstock and gold heat embossed the “Christmas” on white cardstock and cut with its coordinating die. I then foam mounted the sentiments onto the card base.

Lastly, I adhered the base onto a card panel – 7″x10″ scored at the 5″ mark.

That’s all for this Christmas card! I hope that you enjoyed today’s sneak peek and that I’ve inspired you to create holiday cards for your loved ones!

Sneak Peek: Christmas Candles

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at the new Christmas Candles stamp set from the October 13th release! This is a beautiful set with a fabulous choices of images. I’m sharing two different styles of card, to show how versatile this set is for your holiday projects.

The candle and lantern images in this set look amazing against a dark background. I stamped out one of the lantern images and some holly from the Christmas Candles set and coloured them with copic markers. I’ll list the colours below. I then die cut the image with the coordinating die.

Copic Colours
Lantern C1, C3, C5
Candle: E51, E53, E55
Flame: YR14, YR15, YR16
Glow: Y00, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17
Holly leaves: G14, G07, G28

Next, I cut a panel of dark blue patterned paper to cover my 4.25 card base. For the glow from the lantern, I cut a small circle of handmade gel printed background, created using dried marigold and squeezed lemonade distress oxide inks. Tennis elbow means I’m not able to ink blend as much as I would like to right now, so this is a simple (and arm friendly) alternative to creating a background and glow. If you enjoy ink blending your backgrounds, that will look fabulous too.

To create a snowy place for the lantern to sit, I die cut a piece of white glitter card using a die from the previously released Scallop Borders 2 die set. I adhered this onto my card base, then added the lantern on top with foam tape.

I love the scripty sentiments in the Pretty Pink Posh stamp sets, especially the coordinating dies for them, as it makes them so much more versatile. I embossed the Merry script word, from the Christmas Candles stamp set, with WOW Opaque Bright White embossing powder on the same patterned paper as the background. I then die cut the word out with the coordinating die. I added a couple of layers of navy die cuts offset behind the word, for dimension and a shadow effect.

I embossed a second sentiment from the set on the background, then adhered the word die above. To fill some of the space in the bottom half of the card, I embossed another sentiment from the Christmas Candles stamp set on navy card, and adhered to the card with double sided tape. I then added the holly images to the card to finish.

For my second sneak peek using the Christmas Candles stamp set, I’ve gone for an elegant CAS design. This card would be great for mass producing, as it’s quick to create and looks beautiful.

The candles image is coloured with copic markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. I added a second layer behind for dimension.

Copic Colours
Candle: R24, R27, R39
Flame: Y11, YR14
Holly leaves: G14, G07, G17

For the berries, I thought I’d use some of the beautiful new Metallic Gold pearls. These come in a mixed size pack, and I used the smallest size here. They are really beautiful embellishments.

I cut a 4 inch square panel of white card, and heat embossed sentiments from the Christmas Candles stamp set with WOW Metallic Gold Ruch Super Fine embossing powder.

I cut a piece of gold card to fit my 4.25 card base, then adhered the white panel on top, followed by the candles. As a finishing touch, I used some Nuvo White Blizzard glitter drops on the candle flames.

Thank you for joining us for today’s sneak peek. We hope to see you again tomorrow!

Sneak Peek: Holiday Scripts + Poinsettia Corners

Hi Friends! Jane here and I’m thrilled to be sharing a sneak peek at the the new Poinsettia Corners and Holiday Scripts stamp and coordinating die sets part of the October 13th release by Pretty Pink Posh.

To create my first card, I used a piece of white woodgrain cardstock cut to A2 size. Next, using the winter frame die and white cardstock, a frame was die cut and adhered to my woodgrain background.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Holiday Scripts + Poinsettia Corners

Next, the images from Poinsettia Corners were stamped using Versamark black ink on Bristol smooth cardstock. The images were colored using various shades of reds, pinks and green colors of Karin Pro brush markers. A white gel pen used to add white highlights to the images. Each image was die cut using the coordinating die and adhered using foam tape to the white background.

The sentiment was stamped using the new Holiday Scripts stamp set and cut using the coordinating dies. Foam tape was used to adhere the “Merry Christmas” sentiment to the background. A few of the new Cherry Red pearls were added for embellishment. The card front was adhered to an A2 card base and that finishes the card.

My next card uses the new Holiday Scripts stamp and coordinating die sets as the center feature. I love all the different combinations of sentiments this set offers!

Using an A2 piece of Bristol smooth cardstock, the following distress oxide ink colors were blended: tattered rose, spun sugar, victorian velvet, wilted violet, kitsch flamingo, seedless preserves and worn lipstick. Next, I used the first part of the Layered Ornament stencil to ink blend grey tops using a grey dye ink. Then, the following stencil layer was added and I used the coordinating ink colors in distress inks (not oxides) to ink blended background.

After the background was dry, I cut it down to 3.75 inches by 5 inches and mounted it to a white card base using foam tape.

The sentiments from Holiday Sentiments stamp set were stamped, cut and mounted with foam tape to the center of the card. A few of the new Ivory Pearls were added to the background and that completes the card!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to stop by tomorrow for more sneak peeks of the new October 13th release by Pretty Pink Posh!

Sneak Peek: Snowmen Friends

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the new Snowmen Friends Stamp Set. This is such a fun set that is perfect for any Christmas projects. It includes 6 different snowmen in adorable winter accessories.

For my slimline card, I cut the largest rectangle from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Die in white 110lb cardstock and ink blended the top portion with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink and the rest with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink. I then splattered some white acrylic paint for a snow look. I also white heat emboss the snowflakes and the Let it Snow sentiment from the same Snowmen Friends Stamp Set.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the snowmen and foam mounted them onto my card base. Here are the Copic Markers I used – BG10, C5/3/1, R39/37/35, RV25/23/21, YR07.

I then cut a strip of red cardstock and white heat embossed the sentiments from the new Holiday Scripts Stamp Set. I used liquid glue to adhere them under the snowmen. I then added some Marshmallow Pearls here and there for added dimension. Lastly, I adhered the slimline card onto a card base.

That’s all for this pink Christmas card. I hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek! See you tomorrow for another look at the October 13th release.

Sneak Peek: Village + Village Additions

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at the new Village stamp set, along with the Village Additions stamp set, both from the upcoming October 13th release! Have fun creating Village scenes, for Christmas time and beyond.

I stamped out images from both sets with copic friendly black ink. I used a colour palette of turquoise green, red and yellow, then repeated these colours around my card to keep things cohesive. I added some neutrals too. I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

Copic colours: Reds: R20, R22, R24, R27
Yellows: Y11, Y13, Y15
Blue Greens: BG23, BG15, BG49
Cool greys: C0, C1, C3, C5
Neutral greys: N3, N5, N7
Browns: E00, E11, E55, E57

For my background, I cut a panel of navy card and added embossed details using the new Snowfall stencil and white embossing powder. I then adhered this to my 5 x 7 card base.

The sentiments are from the fabulous new Holiday Scripts stamp set. I heat embossed both on coloured card in white. I die cut the large Merry word with the coordinating die, adding extra layers behind for dimension. I cut the additional sentiment into a strip and adhered both onto my card.
Next, I added the Village stamp set images to my card, followed by those from the Village Additions stamp set. I added some extra die cut layers behind the images at the front, to give more dimension. There are many more stamps included in the Village Additions set that aren’t shown in my sneak peek today.

I love the vintage vibe to these sets and how you change the scene with the different images from the Village Additions set.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Join us tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Halloween Theme Week- Day 6

Good morning and welcome back to Halloween Theme Week! It’s Lindsey here. Today I’m using the fabulous Spooky Sky Stencil three ways with a fun, but non-traditional color scheme. Let’s get started!

As an added bonus this week, everything in the Halloween Section will be an additional 15% off.

I think stencils give you so much bang for your buck, so I wanted to show you a variety of ways to use them. First, I used the Spooky Sky Stencils with some simple ink blending to add bats to my card base. Next, I scraped Nuvo glimmer paste through the star layer. It adds the most wonderful sparkle and dimension! (Just make sure you have a wet wipe handy to quickly wipe off the extra on the stencil before it dries.) I knew it would take a bit of time for the paste to dry on my card, so I pulled out my third stencil. It may look like I blended ink with this one, but I did not. I used the stencil in a very old school way – I traced the clouds onto vellum using the stencil and then fussy cut them out with scissors. It brought back happy memories of creating with my mom when I was a child, but it was also another great way to use a stencil and allowed me to perfectly place the clouds to surround my sentiment.

Since my sky was so soft and neutral, I wanted a colorful sentiment. I swayed from traditional rich, fall colors, though, and went with pastels. I die cut the Happy Halloween Script die three times in white, orange, and pink, and adhered each layer slightly offset to create a colorful shadow.

I finished off my card with the Spooky Fence die, layering a couple die cuts to add dimension.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Make sure to come back tomorrow for the final day of inspiration and don’t forget to stock up on all your favorite Halloween goodies this week while they are on sale 15% off.

Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

Hi folks, it’s Kavya and this is my first time on the PPP blog. I am super excited to share this fun pumpkin patch themed Halloween card! The Fall release pairs so beautifully with the Halloween release and here is one way to use them together. Quick note, I do love fussy cutting so this card involves a fair amount of it :)

I first started off by creating a background for my card. I ink blended an A2 cardstock with Seedless Preserve, Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide inks and used the cloud portion of the Spooky Sky stencils with white pigment ink. For the grass, I used a teal cardstock and ink blended the edges with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide. Then, I splattered some water and matching paint on both :) Then I stamped and colored various images from Halloween Circles, Fall Circles and Halloween Wreath stamp sets. For the pumpkin, I decided to use the Elegant Pumpkin die and use the paper piecing technique to ‘color’ the pumpkin using various colored cardstock. I used a darker color for the outline and a lighter color for the inner die cuts. Finally, I finished the card by adding a sentiment out of gold glitter cardstock using the Halloween Script Die.

That’s it folks! I hope this card inspires you to combine various releases to create a fun card!

Happy Crafting, Kavya

Halloween Theme Week- Day 4

Hey crafty friends! Elaine here today from @pinkpeppermint cards. I’m so excited to be part of the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Theme week! I love Halloween card making and I’m thrilled to be sharing the project I have created.

Have you taken advantage of the 15% savings on Halloween items this week?

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 4

To start my card, I stamped the BOO image from the BOO stamp set on to copic friendly cardstock with a copic friendly black ink. I used a variety of copic markers to colour the images (which are adorably sized and cute). Once colored, I decided I’d like to give the images an eery spooky feel so I used Distress Ink in Pumice Stone to lightly blend ink around the edges of each letter.

Setting the coloured letters aside, I started working on the layers of the card base. I took a piece of slate grey card stock cut to 5.25” x 4” and used Distress Ink in Black Soot to lightly blend ink from the outer edges in towards the middle. I adhered the ink blended panel to an orange A2 cardbase with liquid adhesive.

Before adhering my BOO letters to the card base, I placed the card panel in to my stamping tool and positioned the letters on to the card front as a guide and then stamped the spider (also from the BOO stamp set) with Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Taking a ruler and copic multiliner, I drew a line upwards for a thread and added eyes with a white gel pen. To adhere my BOO letters to the cardbase I used some foam tape to pop them up and give dimension.

I used another sentiment from the BOO stamp set and white heat embossed on black cardstock and trimmed in to a thin strip. This was adhered directly to the card with liquid adhesive. As a final embellishment and to add some sparkle I adhered some mini gold star confetti pieces – I love how they catch the light!

Thank you for stopping by today and joining me for some spooky card making fun! I hope you enjoyed my project and all the inspiration on the blog this week.

Have a great day! Elaine x
