Alcohol Ink Butterfly

Hi Friends! It is Dana here today and I am excited to be back on the PPP blog sharing a card with you all. For my card, I am using a fun mix of supplies from Pretty Pink Posh. Let’s get started, shall we?

I started my card by creating an alcohol ink background. I used a rainbow of pearl colors and yupo paper. The colors I used were Pearl Deception, Splendor, Alchemy, Envy, Tranquil and Villainous. I added the inks directly to a piece of felt (attached to a dauber), added a little blending solution and swiped it across my Yupo paper. Once my panel was dry I ran it through my die cutting machine with the Bold Butterflies Die. Don’t you just love this butterfly? It is so fun and I love all the possibilities with this type of die.

For my card layout, I splattered a white panel with a little black reinker. I then used the Scallop Border 1 Die to create the decorative edge at the bottom of my white panel. Next, I used a leftover piece of my alcohol ink paper for the bottom of the card. To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment from the Simple Sentiments Stamp Set and heat set it with white embossing powder. Lastly, I attached my butterfly and sentiment to my card panel with foam adhesive.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope I inspired you to pull out your alcohol inks and create some fun patterns for die cutting. Have a wonderful day.

Thanks Leaf Shaker

Hi friends, Eloise here and today I have a card to share with you all using the Thanks Shaker Die. I also created an off the edge shaker effect too.

To begin, I cut the Thanks Shaker Die from the middle of some white cardstock. I then used the Small Stitched Foliage Dies to cut two smaller leaves on either side as well.

I used my Fuse Tool from WRMK and created a large pocket for the larger leaf first. I left and opening and filled it with some sequins. I then fused the last section together and that created the pocket. I repeated this for the last two smaller leaves as well but instead of fusing together all four sides, I folded the sleeve over to create a folded edge for the side of the card and then proceeded to use the Fuse Tool on the other three sides.

I then adhered my sequin pockets on the back of the die cut panel and added foam tape around them all. I used the same Thanks Shaker Die and cut it from some orange, black and white cardstock. I adhered down the orange layer on top and then the black and white for the words. Lastly, I adhered the entire panel onto a white card base.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed, and I’ll see you all next time.

Monochromatic Halloween

Hi everyone, Jane here today sharing this cute monochromatic Halloween card with you! This card uses vellum and pretty pink posh jewels to add some fun elements to the scene!

To start the card, I used a piece of black cardstock and spattered some white acrylic paint using an old paint brush. Next, I used the Nature Essentials die to cut the puffy clouds at the bottom of the panel. The background clouds are from the Fly A Kite stamp set and the moon is from the Halloween Friends stamp set. Black cardstock cut using the bat die from the halloween friends stamp set and glued to the background to create a shadow of a bat. A piece of vellum was layered over the background to soften the scene and make it appear foggy.

Next, I stamped the images from Trick or Treat Friends (batgirl) and Halloween Friends (bats) using black ink. Copic markers used for the bat girl are: N7, N5, N3, N1, Y19, Y21, YR30, E55, E53 and E50. White gel pen used for accents on the images. The images were cut using the coordinating dies and adhered to the card front. Next, I stamped a sentiment from trick or treat friends using black stazOn ink. Black jewels were added to the bottom layer to mimic gravel. Lastly, I added a black border cut using the Nature Essentials die and adhered the card front to a gray piece of A2 cardstock. The entire front of the card was then attached to a white card base and that completes the card!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Autumn Card + Tag Duo

Hi friends! Tammy here with you today! It’s finally starting to feel a bit like Fall here in the Southwest, so I was inspired to create a fun Fall card and tag project, using the adorable Pumpkin Patch Critters Stamp Set.

To begin, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following stamp sets: Pumpkin Patch Critters/ Coordinating Dies, Giving Thanks/ Coordinating Dies, Autumn Wreath/ Coordinating Dies

Next, I cut a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock to 3 1/4 X 8 1/4″ and ink blended the background with Worn Lipstick, Spun Sugar, Scattered Straw, and Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide inks. I splattered some watered down gold acrylic paint onto my background to add some interest, then attached the background panel to a 3 1/2 X 8 1/2″ white cardstock base.

I stamped the sentiment from Pumpkin Patch Critters in black ink and arranged the die cut images onto my card to create a sweet Fall scene.

To create the shaker tag, I used the Stitched Banner Duo 1 Dies, and cut it twice from Copic friendly white cardstock. I ink blended one panel with Spun Sugar, Scattered Straw , and Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide inks, and die cut a square on the other banner to create a window. I stamped the sentiment from Pumpkin Patch Critters, then I added acetate, foam tape, and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins to create my shaker tag. I attached my critter and pumpkins to the tag, punched a hole, and threaded some orange and white bakers twine to complete my tag. This would be so cute attached to a coffee cup, filled with Pumpkin Spice everything! I’m making a bunch of these to send to my favorite college students!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed today’s projects and were inspired to create some Fall projects!

Hugs, Tammy

Create A Scene: Watercolor Sunflowers

Today I thought I’d share a watercolour floral scene card. Pretty Pink Posh has some amazing floral stamp sets and it’s easy to use to use masking to stamp a beautiful one-layer scene to colour. Sunflowers are a favourite of mine – the colours are just perfect for the season.

I began by cutting a panel of watercolour card. I use an economy card when I watercolour. As a beginner, I just want to have fun without worrying that I might waste expensive card on mistakes. The card I use is 300gsm cold pressed surface card, and I use the smooth side.

To stamp my scene, I used Antique Linen distress oxide ink. I began with the largest sunflower from the Sunflowers stamp set, then created a mask using a full post-it note. I covered the sunflower with the mask, then stamped a second sunflower to the side of that.

I continued creating my scene, masking the second sunflower, then stamping some leaves from the same set. To add some variety, I also stamped some leaves and berries from the Autumn Wreath stamp set.

I used the Altenew Artists Watercolour pan set to paint my images. I began with a light colour wash, allowing it to air dry fully, then building up layers of stronger colour. I like to take my time, gradually adding more layers of colour, and enjoying the relaxing process of watercolour.

Once I’d finished with the watercolour and the panel was dry, I added some finer details with my Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils, along with some white gel pen highlights on the berries.

I love the add splatter on my watercolour cards for more texture. I mixed some perfect pearls with water and used a small paintbrush to flick the panel.

I trimmed the panel down, then adhered a frame around the edge, cut from brown pearlescent card using the Nature Essentials die. In the corner of the scene, I heat embossed in gold a sentiment from the Birthday Friends stamp set.

I thought a kraft card base would work well with the colours in the scene, and I finished my card with some Espresso jewels to compliment the colour of the frame.

Thanks for visiting today! I hope I inspired you to create some floral scenes.

Halloween Shaker Card

Hi friends! I have a fun Halloween Card to share today. My card features the adorable witch kitty from the Halloween Pals Stamp set, brewing up some Halloween fun, with a cauldron made from the Window Frames Dies.

To begin, I cut an A2 rectangle from Bristol smooth cardstock and ink blended the background with Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks. I then splattered the background with black and white acrylic paint to create some interest. Next, using the largest die from the Window Frames Dies, I cut out a window from the purple background. I cut a second A2 rectangle and ink blended it with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks. Next, I placed a piece of acetate on the backside of the purple background, covering the window opening. I then attached foam tape (making sure to outline the cauldron shape with foam tape) to the background. I added some sequins from the Holiday Shimmer Sequins Mix to the opening before sealing it closed. To create the black frame for the cauldron, I first die cut black cardstock with the largest Window Frames Die, then placed the smaller size onto it and die cut it again to create a frame. Next, I added some small ink blended circles to make the cauldron bubbles.

Next, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets: Halloween Pals/ Coordinating Dies, Halloween Friends (moon, bats, spider)/ Coordinating Dies, Trick or Treat Friends (broom, pumpkin)/ Coordinating Dies.

I heat embossed the sentiment from Halloween Pals with white embossing powder before attaching the stamped images to my card. To complete my card, I added some green jewels from the Boo Jewels Mix, which add just the perfect amount of sparkle!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Stenciling with Mayra: Fall Shakers

Hello everyone! Mayra here with you today. Happy October! I am back with another card using one of the wonderful stencils available from Pretty Pink Posh. For my card today, I used the lovely Pumpkin Background Stencil. It is perfect for creating Autumn themed cards.

I began by picking the Distress Oxide Colors I would be using. I chose Wild Honey , Worn Lipstick , and Seedless Preserves. I then die cut a panel for my card using white cardstock and the stitched rectangle from the Stitched Notes die set. Next, I added a bit of adhesive to the back of the die-cut rectangle and glued it to down in order for it not to move around while I add the colors. I also added a bit of Post-It tape to hold the stencil in place. I would still like to try out the ICraft Pixie Spray, it is on my wish list, lol. I think it may help with keeping the stencil in place a bit more than the Post-It tape.

I then began adding the colors over the cardstock and stencil. I started with Wild Honey, then Worn Lipstick, and then Seedless Preserves. You can do this several times until you build up to the color intensity that you like. I decided to add a bit of Wilted Violet over the area where I used Seedless Preserves. I also added a bit of Rusty Hinge to the areas with Wild Honey.

Once the stenciling was finished, I remove the stencil (my favorite part is seeing the way it turns out). I then turned this panel into what would be a shaker card by using the Thanks Leaf Shaker die to die cut the leaf into the panel. I also used this die to die cut another layer from a piece of cardstock that had the same colors I used on the stenciled background. I made that one into a card as well. Next, I added the acetate, foam tape, and the beautiful 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins to create the shaker part of the card. I used the Simple Sentiments stamp set to add a sentiment to each of the cards.

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

Halloween Theme Week- Day 7

Hi friends! Tammy here, finishing up Halloween Theme Week. Today I have a fun Halloween card and set of tags to share with you, featuring the cutest little trick-or-treaters you’ve ever seen!

As an early Halloween treat during theme week, all products in the Halloween category are 15% off.! No coupon necessary.

To begin, I stamped, colored with copic markers, and die cut the images from the following sets: Halloween Pals/ Coordinating Dies, Halloween Friends/Coordinating Dies, Trick or Treat Friends/ Coordinating Dies.

To create my slimline design, I began by cutting a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock to 3 1/4 X 8 1/4″ and ink blending with Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks. I added some black and white acrylic paint splatters to give some interest to the background. Next, I added a die cut circle, washed with watered down Hickory Smoke ink, and attached to the center of the card to create the moon. I then added a 1 X 8 1/4″ strip of black cardstock and attached my background to a white 3 1/2 X 8 1/2″ card base. I heat embossed the sentiment from Halloween Friends in white before adding the stamped images. Lastly, I added 1/4″ Silver Star Confetti for the perfect finishing touch!

Next, I made a fun trio of tags, one of my favorite things to create! To begin, I cut 3 white Scallop Square Tags and masked off a square with washi tape, and ink blended the background exactly as I did the slimline card. Next, I used the Nature Essentials Dies to create the black grassy borders, trimming to fit the tag. I heat embossed the sentiment from Halloween Pals in white, and then added my stamped images. To finish my tags, I added some orange and white bakers twine and Silver Stars for a bit of shine.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you all enjoyed all the amazing Halloween inspiration this week!

Big Hugs,

Halloween Theme Week- Day 6

Hi! Melody here today for Day 6 of Halloween Theme Week. I have a Halloween card to share with you that I created with the Halloween Pals Stamp Set.

Have you taken advantage of the 15% savings on Halloween items this week? There’s only a few days left!

One of my favorite techniques is creating a fun background for my cards. I started with a piece of white cardstock for the card front. The first step on this background is to add the paw prints at the bottom of the card. I stamped the paws with the stamps in the Halloween Pals Stamp Set in Versamark Ink and embossed with black embossing powder. Then I used Peeled Paint Distress Ink to add the grass.

For the night sky I blended Wild Honey, Seedless Preserves, and Black Soot Distress Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Trick or Treat Friends Stamp Set in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. Then I splattered watered down gold paint to finish off the night sky.

I die cut the fence with the Spooky Fence Die from black cardstock. The stamped images are colored with Copic Markers and die cut with the Halloween Pals Coordinating Dies. I added a few leaves with the Autumn Wreath Stamp Set and the Autumn Wreath Coordinating Dies.

I finished off the card by framing the scene in a black frame die cut with the Nature Essentials Dies and confetti from the Metallic Gold Confetti Mix.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope we have given you some ideas for Halloween projects.

For the cloudy background I used distress ink in Dusty Concord & Milled Lavender and a tiny bit of black soot around the top edge and the bottom to ground the card.
