Sneak Peek: September 2021 Dies

Hi Friends! Jane here, sharing some sneak peaks of the dies from the September 13th release by Pretty Pink Posh!  

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: September 2021 Dies

My first card is a shaker card using the Leaf Frame die set cut using white cardstock.  To create the shaker card, I first created a background using various dye inks mixed with water and ink “smooshed” them on watercolor cardstock using a piece of scrap acetate.  While the background was drying, liquid glue was added to the Leaf Frame and sheet of acetate was adhered to create a shaker window.

Double thick foam tape was used to line the edges of the window.  The shaker was filled with various colors of 4mm sequins and the background was adhered to the back to create the shaker.

Next, I used the images from Cozy Fall Critters stamp set and the sentiment from Woodland Thanks stamp set and added them to the front of the card.  The entire card was then mounted to an A2 card base and that completes the card!

Next up, I’m featuring the new Elegant Pumpkin die set to create Thanksgiving placards. 

To create these placards, die cut the Elegant Pumpkin die set out of heavy weight white cardstock.  Next, using a large blender brush/blending tool, blend a background using yellow, orange, pink and red die inks. After, the blending was done, liquid glue used to adhere the pumpkins to the ink blended background. Scissors were then used to fussy cut the tops of the images leaving the bottom portion with a little room to add a sentiment.

Next, I used scrap heavy weight cardstock and cut it into a square shape about 3.5 inches square. The squares were scored and folded to create a rectangle card  which served as the stand for my placard holders. The pumpkin placeholders were stamped using sentiments from Woodland Thanks stamp set using black ink. Then, the images were adhered to the small rectangle cards using double sided tape and that finishes the project.

My final card features the new Fall Foliage die set. To create this slimline card, I first created a watercolor background using various shades of purple, pink, orange, red and yellow colors. After the watercolor panel was dry, I used the fall foliage die set to cut the various shapes. Then, using the slimline peekaboo windows dies (smaller size die), I die cut a piece of white cardstock and used black ink to stamp the sentiment from the new Falling Leaves Stamp Set.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: September 2021 Dies

Using tiny pieces of foam tape, each piece of foliage was adhered to the white die cut panel.  Then, the edges were trimmed using scissors. Next, the panel was adhered to a light pink cardstock sized 8 inches by 3.5 inches. The entire panel was then adhered to a slimline card base and that complete the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you found some inspiration using the new fall dies which will be available on September 13th.

Sneak Peek: Cozy Fall Critters + Falling Leaves

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of two new Pretty Pink Posh stamp sets – Cozy Fall Critters and Falling Leaves that will be released on September 13th. I combined images from these sets to create a fun circle shaped Autumn card.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Cozy Fall Critters + Falling Leaves

I started by cutting a 5″ circle in teal colored patterned paper and a 4.5″ circle in kraft cardstock. I then adhered the smaller panel to the larger one.

Next, I stamped the images using Memento Rich Cocoa ink on 110lb white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. 

Fall leaves:

YR14, Y18/13

YG67/63/61

YR07/04/02/00

R39/37/35/32

Acorns – E44/43/42

Mouse – C5/3/1, R32/30

Sweater – BG09/05/15, YR23/21/20

The larger leaves are from Falling Leaves Stamp Set and the rest of the images are from Cozy Fall Critters Stamp Set. I added white highlights using a gel pen and cut them with their coordinating dies. I then arranged the leaves in a wreath form and foam mounted them onto the kraft panel. I also foam mounted the adorable mouse on the wreath. The greetings are from the Falling Leaves Stamp Set and I love how there is a die for the word Autumn.

Lastly, I cut a 5″ circle in white 110lb cardstock, scored at the .25″ mark and adhered the flap to the teal panel to complete my card.

Sneak Peek: Fall Corners

Hello, Gemma here with a sneak peek to share with you all. I’m using the new Fall Corners stamp set, which is perfect for pretty autumn cards.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Fall Corners

I stamped out one of the corners from the Fall Corners stamp set. There are 3 pumpkin arrangements in this set, along with additional images. I coloured the image with copic markers, using fun non-traditional colours for the pumpkins. I die cut the image with the coordinating die, adding two more layers behind for dimension.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Fall Corners

For my background, I blended pumice stone distress oxide ink over the previously released Woodgrain Circle stencil. I’m using a 4.75″ card base and blended the pattern directly onto this.

I used the previously released Stitched Strips dies to cut some pearlescent card in autumnal colours, adhering them on to my card base. I then added the Fall Corners image over the top.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Fall Corners

For my sentiment, I used the new Falling Leaves stamp set. I heat embossed the large ‘Autumn’ word onto pearlescent copper card, using white embossing powder. I die cut it out with the coordinating die, again adding a couple of die cut layers behind for dimension.

I stamped an accompanying sentiment from the Falling Leaves stamp set directly on the card base, then adhered the die cut word above.

To finish, I adhered a few Espresso jewels around the sentiment. These are my favourite jewels for autumn projects.

I hope you enjoyed these cards using this fun set. Join us tomorrow for a look at what else is coming in the September 13th release!

Sneak Peek: Woodland Thanks

Hello hello! It’s Leica here today and I have a sneak peek of a Thanksgiving card featuring images from the new Woodland Thanks Stamp Set, available on September 13th. These botanical images are absolutely gorgeous and can be used for any occasion. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Woodland Thanks

For this card, I cut a 5″ square panel in yellow cardstock and ink blended the bottom with Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Ink. I also cut a 4.5″ square in white cardstock and ink blended the center with Festive Berries and the top and bottom with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink. I splattered some water for an oxidized effect and added black and white dots using gel pens. I then adhered the smaller panel to the larger one. For the center of the card, I cut a 1″ strip and ink blended with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink and foam mounted it to the pink/red panel. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Woodland Thanks

Next, I stamped the images with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on 110lb white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers – E49/47/44/43/42, G99/46/43, R39/37/35, YR23/18/13, YR07/04/02. I then tucked in and adhered the leaves behind the brown strip. The Thankful greeting is also from the same Woodland Thanks Stamp Set and I love that it has a coordinating die. I cut additional pieces to stack up for dimension. I then stamped Happy Thanksgiving on a strip of yellow cardstock and glued it under the brown strip. Lastly, I cut a white 5″ square, scored at the .25″ mark, and adhered it to the card panel to finish my card.

Sparkly Interactive Halloween Card + Video

Hi, it’s Mona here, and I can’t wait to show you how I made this pinky-sparkly Halloween card with an interactive twist! From my newest video on Pretty Pink Posh YouTube Channel you can learn how to easily transform word die-cuts to the wished shape.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

I made the glittery background with the Stars stencil on a pale pink cardstock with the Silver Glitz Glitter Gel. In the video I am showing you what is my favorite method for this process.

While the background dries, I stamped the Halloween Wreath and the other coordinating images from the same stamp set with brown alcohol marker friendly inkpad to a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored them with Spectrum Noir Illustrators.

I have used the following colors: CT1, CT2, CT4, GY3, BO1, BO2, BO3, BO4, OR2, OR3, CR1, CR3, CR5, CR7, GB1 GB4, GB6, GB10, RB3, RB1, AP4, AP3, AP2, PP1, FS1, MG1, MG2, BG1, BG2, Blender.

After the coloring I die-cut all the images and I colored the wheel with a pale pink alcohol marker.

Next, I continued with the die-cutting. I made more die-cuts from heavy weight cardstock, because I wanted to add thickness to the wreath and the spiders, in this case the interactive part will be more durable. Then I transformed the Happy Halloween Die-cuts made with the Happy Halloween Script Die. This is a fun way to alter the scripted sentiments, in the video I am describing how.

When it was done, I created the interactive element and added the spider to the circle with fishing line, and created the card front. I covered the glittery background with a piece of vellum, and styled the circle, the sentiment and the other elements.

In the end I styled my card and added some Metallic Rose Gold Sequins to it as a decoration. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Hugs, Mona

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo ink, colored with Copic markers, and cut with their coordinating dies.

Candies, witch hats (fussy cut from the wreath), spider – Halloween Wreath Stamp Set

Cat in Circle, pumpkins on the sides of the box (fussy cut) – Halloween Circles

Small pumpkin bags – Halloween Friends Stamp Set

I adhered the images with liquid glue and stamped the sentiment onto the rectangle panel in the front. I also made a matching tag using the new Halloween Circles Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies.

I started by die cutting the base layers using the Slimline Peekaboo WindowsSlimline Scallop FrameScallop Square Tag Celebrate ShakerSimple StripsStitched Film Strip to create the designs for each of the cards using the same soft pastel color palette.

Stretch Your Stencils + Video

Hi, it’s Mona here, if you like stencils like me and you want to get more from them, don’t miss my cool trick on Pretty Pink Posh YouTube Channel.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

For my background I have used the Hibiscus Flowers stencil set to achieve this beautiful look with various Distress Oxide colors. I have used: Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Wilted Violet colors. For the full process visit the video tutorial.

Pretty Pink Posh: Stretch Your Stencils + Video

I stamped cute tiger from my favorite summer set, the Summer Fun stamp set, and now I will show you how I colored it as a bleached tiger with my coloring guide below. Before the coloring I gave a quick heat set to the image, this will prevent the ink smearing. And I started with a grayish green color, because it makes the fur warmer and more natural, then I followed the coloring like on the guide.

Pretty Pink Posh: Stretch Your Stencils + Video

Instead of coloring, I made an ink blending through the Hibiscus Stencil with yellow, turquoise and pink inkpads and blended them together. The result was this pretty rainbow look.

Pretty Pink Posh: Stretch Your Stencils + Video

Next, I continued with the sentiment. I stamped the summer text from the Summer Drinks with a watermark ink to a piece of violet cardstock. Then I sprinkled on it white embossing powder and heat embossed it to get a nice and crisp white sentiment, then I die-cut it. I repeated the same thing but with the Thanks a bunch sentiment from the Simple Sentiments set, this time on an orange cardstock.

Pretty Pink Posh: Stretch Your Stencils + Video

Next, I cut the sentiment, as well as the created background for a 5.25” by 4”. I wanted to add to the card something colorful, so I stamped and colored some surfboards too with my alcohol markers.

Pretty Pink Posh: Stretch Your Stencils + Video

In the end I styled my card and added some squeezy lemons to my card as a decoration. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Halloween Boo

Hello, Gemma here. Today I have a fun Halloween card to share featuring new and old Pretty Pink Posh sets.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Boo

I began by creating the background. I blended out from the centre using distress oxide inks in picked raspberry, wilted violet, blueprint sketch, chipped sapphire. I then flicked the panel with water to get lots of distress details.

On the panel, I stamped a greeting in clear embossing ink, from the new Halloween Wreath stamp set, and embossed it with WOW Super Fine Opaque Bright White embossing powder.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Boo

From the centre of the panel, I die cut the Boo Shaker die. I’ll keep these die cut pieces for another card. I adhered the background panel to a square card base, leaving a small white border.

Next, I die cut the Boo Shaker die from black and orange card, and twice from white card. Any pieces I don’t use this time can be saved for another card too.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Boo

I layered the two white die cuts together, then adhered them into the space on the card. From the orange die cut, I took the inner pieces and inlaid them in the pumpkin. I then cut the wording from the black die cut and adhered this over the white word.

I stamped out images from the previously released Halloween Pals stamp set, along with the new Halloween Wreath stamp set. I coloured the images with copic markers and die cut with the coordinating dies.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Boo

I attached some silver embroidery thread from the boo word to the spider, then used foam tape to add the images to the card.

I love the fun, bold colours of Halloween and combining new and old Pretty Pink Posh sets together.

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.
