Cards

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be back showing you a sneak peek of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on June 16th.

This release includes five new stencil sets: Layered Construction Trucks, Layered Cars, Layered Roads, Layered Dinosaurs and Dino Dig. The Layered Roads and Dinosaur Dig stencils make great backgrounds and coordinate perfectly with the stamp sets being released this month too. I created two cards to share with you today so let’s get started.

I started my card by making my card panel with the Layered Dinosaur stencil. This is a three pack of stencils that layer perfectly to create the cutest dinosaur panel. I used dye inks and finger daubers for all of my blending. 

Next, I trimmed my panel down and attached it to an A2 card base. I then used the new Dinosaur Friends stamp set to stamp my images. I colored them with Copic markers and used the new Dinosaur Friends dies to cut them out. Lastly, I used the Spring Circles die set to create my frame for my sentiment and stamped images. 

My next card uses the new Layered Cars stencil set. 

The layered Cars stencil pack is also a three pack of stencils. I once again used finger daubers and dye ink to create my card panel. Each layer lines up on top of the previous layer to give the vehicles such fun details.

Once I trimmed my panel down I added three coordinating strips that had been die cut with the Simple Strips die. Lastly, I used the new Across the Miles stamp set to stamp my sentiment and finish my card.

Thanks for joining me today. I can’t wait to see what you create with these fun new products! Join us tomorrow as we reveal all of the new products and the bundles go up for sale.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share some sneak peeks of two fabulous new stamp sets – Dinosaur Friends and Dinosaur Additions. These sets release on June 16th.

For my first card, I stamped out images from both sets and coloured with my copic markers. I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

I added extra die cut layers behind the dinosaurs, then arranged all the images on a white card panel. I left space to stamp two ‘rawr’ words between the images. This is from the Dinosaur Additions stamp set.

On a 4.75” square card base, I customised a greeting using two of the sentiment stamps from the new Dinosaur Friends stamp set.

On my second card, I created a mini scene using the volcano image from the Dinosaur Additions stamp set. I cut two pieces of patterned paper to create a dramatic sky with ground, then adhered this to my A2 card base. I left space to the side to stamp a sentiment from the Dinosaur Additions stamp set.

The images used are from both Dinosaur Friends and Dinosaur Additions, coloured with copic markers and die cut with the coordinating dies.

I adhered some images with liquid adhesive and others with foam tape, placing them both on the background area and on the white space, to break out the scene.

Thank you for stopping by! Join us tomorrow for a sneak peek of the new stencils coming on June 16th.

Hello friends, Tammy here. I had so much fun creating these cards featuring the new set, Construction Trucks that releases on June 16th. This set is so much fun, and would be perfect to create party favors for a construction themed party!

To begin, I stamped the images from the Construction Trucks Stamp Set onto Bristol smooth cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I then die cut the colored images using the Construction Trucks Coordinating Dies.

To create this A2 card, I began with an A2 panel and attached black and yellow cardstock strips die cut using the Simple Strips Dies. I adhered the strips diagonally, cutting off the excess to create a fun background. Next, I cut a smaller rectangle panel from Bristol smooth cardstock. I created the dirt hills using the new Layered Roads Stencil, and blended Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks. I then splattered some Vintage Photo ink, thinned with water, to add some interest to the hills. Next, I ink blended the top of the card with Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks and attached it to a white mat before attaching to the striped background. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in black ink and attached it to an A2 white card base to complete my card.

I also created a fun, coordinating box card using the Construction Trucks stamp set. I began by cutting the base of the box from black cardstock. I added some yellow cardstock strips die cut using the Simple Strips Dies, attaching them diagonally as I did the A2 card. Next, I finished assembling the base of the box. The backdrop was cut from Bristol smooth cardstock, and the top was ink blended with Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I created the dirt hill using the Layered Roads Stencil, and blended Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks. I then splattered some Vintage Photo ink, thinned with water, to add some interest to the hill. I then attached my backdrop to a white mat and adhered it to the box. 

I attached the colored images to the box, using foam tape on some for both dimension and to add some stability to the box. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of white cardstock and attached to the front of the box card and finished it off with a little truck attached with foam tape.

I hope you were inspired to create some fun Construction themed projects! Stay tuned for more sneak peeks of the upcoming June 16th release!

Hugs, Tammy

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today and I’m excited to give you a peek at the brand new Across the Miles stamp set releasing on June 16th. This darling transportation set coordinates perfectly with several other stencils and stamps being released this month. I’ve got three projects to share today, so let’s get started!

First up is a card that uses just Across the Miles, so you can see how cute it is on it’s own. I stamped all the vehicles in the set on golden/dijon yellow, mint, and light grey cardstock and cut them with the coordinating dies.

I then arranged them in rows of traffic on my card base. You’ll notice that half of the images in the set are right facing and the other half are left facing.  

I finished my card off by layering a couple of off-set squares and stamping a sentiment from Across the Miles. Don’t you just love the font pairing? I’m a huge fan!

There is a darling truck in this set, and it was begging to be filled, so I did just that on the next card.  

Let’s start with the card base.  I began by alternately stamping “vroom!” and “beep!” until the center of the card base was filled. To keep the background a bit more subtle, I layered a piece of vellum on top.  

Next I stamped the truck and did the tiniest bit of coloring with a white gel pen for the lights and a black marker for the tires. It’s surprising how adding just this tiny bit of black really draws the eye in.

I had SO many ideas for fillers for this truck, but I chose to make a birthday truck by filling it with balloons using the Balloon Numbers and Balloon Alphabet stamp sets and dies.  The balloon strings weren’t quite long enough for my tallest balloon (“4”), so I stamped two strings, connected them together, and hid the overlapping portion behind the mint party balloon.  

I added tiny little sentiments from Let’s Party to the center of the balloons and popped everything up on my card base.  

A little sprinkling of glossy black jewels and my card was finished. 

On my final card in the trio I wanted to pair Across the Miles with one of the new stencils- Layered Roads. In order to create a larger scene, I chose to make a slimline card. 

I blended the roads in a very dark grey onto a stitched base from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies. I only used two of the stencils, the road and the dotted lines.  With some trial and error, I found that the easiest way to create crisp, vibrant white lines is to use a gel pen with the stencil.  

This card happens to be traveling to a friend who lives across the country in a place full of sunshine and palms, so I pulled out the Hugs (sun, clouds) and Summer Wreath (palm tree) stamp sets and dies to add a little color the scene. 

Though subtle, I wanted to point out the cute Pinstripe Stencil on my card base. Due to the nature of the stripes, this stencil is really easy to align for a taller card base and added just a bit of fun and color.

I stamped the sentiment at the top, and to add just a little emphasis on the desire to quickly send those smiles, I added “vroom!” in a couple places. :) 

Here’s one last peek of the cards all together.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Make sure to come back again tomorrow for more fun peeks of this fabulous new release!
