Celebrations Theme Week- Day 5

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 5

Hi Friends! This is Angelica and today I am sharing a couple of Congrats Grad card ideas.

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 5

I used both sentiments that are in the set, and the hats and diplomas. I kept the Copic Coloring simple, using the following colors: B24, B6, B29; YR23, Y23; R22, R24, R29; W3, W1, W0.

I stamped the hats and diplomas randomly on this first card panel. I added a drop shadow first, then colored the images. I stamped the solid star included in the set with pineapple ink, and did a second-generation stamp for a lighter star. I added a few black dots with my Copic Marker. I finished with a strip of pattern paper and glitter paper for added interest.

For this Clean and simple card, I cut a panel of white card stock with the rectangle frame from Stitched Notes Die Set. I added a blend of yellow ink to the middle of the rectangle, and stamped the sentiment. I added the coordinating die-cut cap and diploma, and a few Graphite Jewels to finish the card.

Celebrations Theme Week- Day 4

Hi and welcome to another day of Celebrations Theme Week. Melody here and today I am going to give you an idea for a Father’s Day Card created with the Father’s Day Stamp Set.

All week save 15% on all products in the Celebrations section!

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 4

I chose a color combination of light grey, blue, and black for the card. I started by cutting a panel of pale grey cardstock to fit the card front. I wanted to add pattern to the background but wanted to keep the pattern subtle. A combination of pale grey ink and the Triangles Stencil worked perfectly. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 4

Next I cut the Father’s Day Script Die twice from black cardstock. I layered the die cuts on top of each other to give the sentiment a little more dimension. I also cut a strip of white cardstock to go across the card and blended the background with light blue ink. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 4

I stamped the shirt in the Father’s Day Stamp Set three times in black ink and then I colored with Copic Markers. I used T0, T1, T3, B91, B93, and B95. The shirts are die cut with the Father’s Day Coordinating Dies

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 4

The tie on the shirt in the middle is paper pieced and I used a black gel pen to add the strips on the tie on the right. I used foam tape to adhere the shirts to the card.

Celebrations Theme Week- Day 3

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 3

Hi everyone! Jane here and I’m so excited to be part of the Celebrations Theme Week at Pretty Pink Posh! All week save 15% on all products in the Celebrations section.

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 3

This rainbow colored birthday card uses a mix of old and new sets from Pretty Pink Posh. I love how this adorable little koala (from Koala Friends) looks like he’s floating away while holding colorful balloons!  

I started with a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock and the Birthday background stencil. I used the Catherine Pooler inks: limoncello, tiki torch, it’s a girl, sweet sixteen, it’s a boy and garden party used to ink blend the edges. In order to create a rainbow border with a center white focal point, I only ink blended the edges of the card front. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 3

The sentiment was stamped from the Cupcake Critters stamp set using black versafine ink. Images from the Koala Friends and Birthday Friends stamp sets were stamped on Bristol smooth cardstock and colored using zig clean color brush markers. I used a cool grey for the koala and rainbow colors for the balloons. The images were mounted on foam tape and adhered to the background. To finish the card, I added some Iridescent Mini Circle Confetti for a bit of sparkle!

Celebrations Theme Week- Day 2

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 2

Hello, Gemma here today with a new baby celebration card to share. All week save 15% on all products in the Celebrations section!

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 2

I began with the background. On a slimline card panel, I overlaid one of the Layered Clouds stencils and inked just the clouds at the edges with an embossing ink. I then embossed the clouds with WOW Metalline First Frost embossing powder. 

I moved the stencil and repeated these steps until the edges around the whole panel were embossed with clouds. I then adhered the panel to my card base.

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 2

Next, I stamped the large word image from the Baby stamp set on blue card with embossing ink. For a tone on tone look, I embossed the images with WOW Blue Pearl embossing powder.

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 2

I used the coordinating dies to die cut the embossed letters, along with two layers of white card. I adhered these layers together for dimension, then added the letters to my card. I also stamped an additional sentiment from the Baby stamp set underneath the letters.

You could leave it there but I wanted to add some cute critters around the letters. I stamped images from the Elephant Friends stamp set and coloured them with copics. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 2

I used the coordinating dies to cut them out, adding them to the card with foam tape to finish.

I hope you enjoyed this baby card. You can easily switch the colors and sentiment to make it for a baby girl.

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 1

Hi friends! This is Angelica and we are having a Celebrations Theme Week on the blog this week. Today I am sharing two cards showcasing the Mother’s Day stamp set.

Save 15% on all products in the Celebrations section

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 1

For my first card, I made a simple background, using a blender brush and pink ink. I splattered a pit of pink paint onto the panel, and stamped the sentiment. I stamped the bouquet from the set with chocolate ink, and used Copic Markers to color the flowers and vase. I used the coordinating die to die-cut the bouquet. I used thin foam squares to attach the vase to the panel, and adhered the panel to a pink card base with foam adhesive. I finished the card with a few Pink Blush jewels.

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 1

My second showcases the smaller stamps in the Mother’s Day stamp set.

I inked the middle of a panel again with pink ink, and stamped the sentiment. I stamped and colored several of the small images. I die-cut a ring, using the Beach Scene Die. I glued the floral onto the half of the ring, and attached it to the panel. I added a few Pink Blush Jewels, and attached the panel to a pink card base.

Pretty Pink Posh: Celebrations Theme Week- Day 1

Copic Colors used: BV000, BV01, BV04; RV14, RV13, RV21; R89, R85, R83, R81; YG17, YG05, YG01; E08, YR18, YR14; B91, B95; Y13, Y19, YR23.

Vibrant Tulips

Hi friends! This is Angelica and I am showcasing the beautiful Tulips stamp set today. This set is currently 15% off during the Spring Savings sale valid through 4-28-2020. code: SPRING2020

Pretty Pink Posh: Vibrant Tulips

Up here, in the Pacific Northwest, tulips are in full bloom. It’s so much fun to watch my neighborhood become filled with spring flowers, and tulips are my favorite! I decided on no-line watercoloring, and stamped the tulips with Antique Linen Distress ink. I used Daniel Smith watercolors, and painted the flowers in layers. The first layer was adding color, second layer was adding shadows, third layer was deepening lines.  Once I was finished painting, I used the coordinating dies to die-cut the tulips.

Pretty Pink Posh: Vibrant Tulips

For the background, I brushed a light wash of blue sky onto watercolor paper, and let the panel dry. I trimmed the panel down, added the tulips with thin foam squares, and cut off anything hanging over the bottom edge. I attached the panel to a card base with foam adhesive, and finished the card with a sentiment from Hedgehog Friends stamp set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Vibrant Tulips

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope I have helped with ideas using the Tulips stamp set. I will be back soon with more card inspiration!

Spring Tulips Shaker Card + Video

Hi, Friends! This is Caly with you sharing a shaker card made using the Tulips stamp set. My arrangement today requires a larger card, so I’ve created a card that is 5”x7”. Please check out the video on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel to see the process!

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

I stamped and colored the tops of each tulip stem and stamped each of the leaves 4 times to get enough to frame my shaker for the center of my card.

Copics Used: RV10, RV32, RV34, R56, G40, G43, G46

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Tulips Shaker Card + Video

After die-cutting my images, I set them aside to work on my card panel. I ink-blended my 5”x7” panel using Lucky Clover and Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Inks.  I also ink-blended a separate panel with Lucky Clover for the Scallop Circle and then another panel using Bundled Sage for the shaker background.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Tulips Shaker Card + Video

After attaching a window to the back of the Scallop Circle, I sprayed the background panel with some water droplets for texture.  Then I added confetti from the Berry Bright and Sparkling Clear Confetti mixes before sealing my shaker. 

To add some extra touches, I used the “hello” from the Hello Friend die set and also one of the Bold Butterflies.

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Tulips Shaker Card + Video

To finish today’s card, I arranged my tulips around the shaker and adhered it in place.  I added some white gel highlights to the images and embellished with more Sparkling Clear Confetti.

I hope you enjoyed this project!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Welcome Little One

There is nothing more precious or welcome than a new addition to the family. The latest Pretty Pink Posh release has everything you need to celebrate the new little one in your life!

Pretty Pink Posh: Welcome Little One

This card starts with a pastel striped background made with the solid stripe die from Stitched Borders 3. I attached pieces at a diagonal on a panel of white card stock. Next I trimmed the panel so it would fit behind the opening of the large die from the Scallop Frames Set.   

Pretty Pink Posh: Welcome Little One

The three Stitched Pieces are perfect for embellishing with a rattle, sentiment and little lamb from the new Little One Stamp Set. A scatter of Cornflower Blue sequins is the perfect finishing touch. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Welcome Little One

This card would be easy to switch up “for her” with a pink colored lamb and Pink Blush Sequins for sugar and spice and everything nice.

Pretty Pink Posh: Welcome Little One

I love the new stamps and dies for baby! What a great addition to my collection!

Crocus Stencil Two Ways + Video

Good morning! Heather here today to share a couple cards using the beautiful new Crocus Stencil from Pretty Pink Posh! There is a video tutorial below as well, so keep reading to watch that and learn more!

Here is a video showing how I created these two cards.

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

I’m sharing two different ways to use this stencil – using the full panel to fill a card, or focusing on just a portion of it with some simple masking to just use a specific image.

For this first version of the card, I used the entire stencil to fill my card front with these lovely floral images.

Pretty Pink Posh: Creating Cards w/ Stencils + Video

I used a combination of Mustard Seed, Wilted Violet, and Mowed Lawn distress inks with my ink blending brushes and no masking required – super simple and easy!

Pretty Pink Posh: Creating Cards w/ Stencils + Video

A few Sparkling Clear Sequins, and a sentiment from the new Hedgehog Friends stamp set finish this nearly one layer design off.

Pretty Pink Posh: Creating Cards w/ Stencils + Video

For the second version, I used the lovely corner image to create a frame on my card front.

Pretty Pink Posh: Creating Cards w/ Stencils + Video

I did some very simple masking with post it tape – which is nice and inexpensive, and readily available! A bit of Post it Tape finishes off some of the other areas.

I used the same distress ink colors and blending brushes to add the color through the stencil.

Pretty Pink Posh: Creating Cards w/ Stencils + Video

Finally, finished off again with some more of those same Sparkling Clear Sequins, and another sentiment from the new Hedgehog Friends stamp set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Creating Cards w/ Stencils + Video

I can’t wait to play with this stencil more and create many more color combos!

Which version is your favorite? Do you like more florals on the card front, or a simpler framed effect?

Thanks so much for stopping by today – have an absolutely wonderful day!

Hi everyone! Ardyth here with 3 ideas for using the new Decorative Cross die. This lovely, intricate die cut is perfect for cards for Easter, baptisms, First Communion, confirmation, sending prayers and sympathy cards – and there are so many ways it can be used!

Pretty Pink Posh: 3 Cards Using 1 Die Set

Take a look at this video that shows how to make all three of these cards.

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

For my first card, I created a plaid background with the Wide Stripes Stencil and then added a stacked-up die cut. 

Pretty Pink Posh: 3 Cards Using 1 Die Set

I created a stained-glass look by colouring and inlaying the die cut and then was able to get a second card by colouring the die cut outline.
