Sneak Peek: Holiday Signs

Hi Friends, Angelica here and I am so excited to share with you a sneak peek of the new Holiday Signs Stamp set. These little critters are ready for Christmas, and they brought Santa along too!

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Holiday Signs

I stamped these friends onto white card stock, and colored them with Copic Markers. I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set onto each sign with embossing ink, and heat-embossed them with silver embossing powder. I used the coordinating dies to die-cut them.

For the background, I blended Chipped Sapphire and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks onto watercolor paper. I sprayed the paper with water, and used a paper towel to dab up the water. I then splattered watered-down acrylic paint for falling snow. I trimmed the panel, then added it to a card base with double-sided adhesive.

I cut hills from white pearlescent paper, and softly blended Broken China Distress Oxide ink on the edges. I attached the hills to the card, and added the friends with thin foam squares. I added Sparkling Clear Jewels to finish the card.

These little friends are so cheerful, and will put a smile on anyone’s face. That’s all that I have for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Tutorial: Fall Card using Copic Markers

Hi friends, Eloise here and today I’m using the Fall Signs Stamp Set to create my fall themed card today. I also pulled in Trick or Treat Friends for some additional images since I thought they matched in well.

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

I started off with stamping out images on two pieces of cardstock. I stamped the crow and pumpkins from Trick or Treat Friends and then the scarecrow from Fall Signs onto some white cardstock for Copic colouring. I then took a piece of watercolour cardstock and stamped two scarecrows side by side. I stamped these exactly how I want them to sit, since I won’t be cutting them out. I then coloured them all in with Copic Markers and cut out the ones from the plain white cardstock. I also cut out two masks from masking paper for the background piece.

Copic Markers Used: B91, B93, B95, B97 / YR30, Y21, Y23, Y26 / E41, E42, E43, E44 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / YG61, YG63, YG67, G28 / YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24 / R00, R20 / 0 / W4, W5, W7, W9 / W00, W0, W1, W3

I set all my die cut images to the side and worked on the background. I applied the masks over the scarecrows and ink blended some grey Distress Inks over the background. I flicked on some water and dried it off with a heat tool. I removed the masks and then adhered on my other images to create my scene.

Distress Inks Used: Pumice Stone, Hickory Smoke, Black Soot

Lastly, I stamped on the ‘Happy Fall’ sentiment into the sign that the scarecrow is holding. I then added white gel pen details to all my images and that finished off my card for today.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll see you next time.

Halloween Theme Week- Day 7

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 7

Hi Friends- Angelica here with a fun Halloween card to share for the last day of Halloween week. All products in the Halloween section on the PPP shop is 15% off through tonight. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 7

I love using the color purple for Halloween cards, and that’s exactly what I did here. I taped off the bottom of a panel of Bristol Smooth Paper, and blended Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord, and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks for the sky. I flipped the mask around and blended Forest Moss Distress ink for the ground. I trimmed the panel down, then stamped and white heat-embossed a sentiment from Halloween Friends stamp set. I then stamped the spider from the same set in black ink, and heat embossed clear embossing powder to make the spider shine. I attached then panel to a card base with foam adhesive. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 7

Next, I did a lot of Copic coloring. I pulled stamps from several sets to build my Halloween scene. I started with the little critters in costume and candy bucket from the Halloween Friends stamp set. I used the coordinating dies to die-cut them. The little pumpkin is from the Halloween Pals stamp set, and coordinating die. I stamped BOO! from Halloween Friends onto the Scarecrow’s sign before die-cutting him. My last colored image is the pumpkin and rabbit from the Pumpkin Patch Friends stamp set. I made the pumpkin into a jack-o-latern before die-cutting it. My last die-cut was the Spooky Fence.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 7

I glued the fence to the card, and added highlights with a white gel pen. I attached each image with thin foam squares. To finish the card, I added three Glossy Black Jewels.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 7

I hope I have given you some creative ideas for your next Halloween card! That’s all that I have for today. Thanks for stopping by.

Halloween Theme Week- Day 6

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 6

Hi Everyone! It’s Melody here with you today for Day 6 of Halloween Theme Week. I have a Halloween card to share with you that was created with a friend or older child in mind. Even though my girls are not “kids” anymore, I still like to give them a card and a sweet treat! I used a combination of the Autumn Wreath Stamp Set and Autumn Wreath Coordinating Dies and the Boo Stamp Set and Boo Coordinating Dies to create my Halloween Wreath. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 6

With the Autumn Wreath Stamp Set and Autumn Wreath Coordinating Dies I die cut the wreath to used for the base. Then I stamped and colored a variety of leaves and flowers and die cut with the coordinating dies. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 6

Then with the Boo Stamp Set and Boo Coordinating Dies I stamped and colored all the spooky and festive elements included in the stamp set.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 6

I attached a piece of twine at the top the wreath. Using the die cut wreath as my base I layered on a mixture of the die cut pieces until I was happy with the arrangement and then glued each die cut to the wreath. I added a few Glossy Black Jewels to the wreath for a little bling. The sentiment is included in the Boo Stamp Set. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 6

I cut a white panel of cardstock to give the feel of a door and scored lines on the panel. I added the border one each side of the door with one of the borders in the Stitched Borders I Dies

Thanks for stopping by! Join us tomorrow for the last day of Halloween Theme Week!

Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

Hello! Thi here and today I am thrilled to be sharing a Halloween card I made for Halloween theme week! Pretty Pink Posh makes some of the most unique and fun Halloween products and I was very excited with the chance to mix some old and new products for today’s card.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

For today’s card, I used the following Pretty Pink Posh products:

I started by coloring all my critters from Halloween Pals & Halloween Friends with Copic markers and die cutting with their coordinating dies. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

Next, I cut an A2 size piece of Bristol smooth card stock and ink blended with Distress Oxides in Stormy Sky, Broken China and Chipped Sapphire. I splattered some black ink on top of my ink blended background for interest and spooky fun!

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

I then die cut the Spooky Fence in black card stock and directly glued this onto my background while trimming off the excess with a pair of scissors. To finish my background, I stamped the sentiment from Halloween Friends directly onto the bottom of this background piece.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

For some fun impact, I die cut the BOO from the coordinating dies for the Boo stamp set (which is gorgeous but I did not use today though) onto Bristol smooth card stock and ink blended with Distress Oxide in Dried Marigold and blended down into white. I felt this gave it some color but kept it subtle since it will be sitting on a dark background.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

I lined up and popped the BOO and my colored critters onto the card with foam tape for dimension. For a little something-something, I added that cute spider from Halloween Friends into the O in boo and my card is finished!

I hope you liked my Halloween card and as always, thanks for reading! Have an amazing day!

Ardyth’s 3K YT Subscriber Celebration

Good morning! It’s Ardyth, and I’m excited to be here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today. In fact, today I’m doubly excited because Paulina agreed to be part of my video hop to celebrate 3000 subscribers on my personal channel, and so Pretty Pink Posh is not only part of the hop, but a very generous sponsor as well, and has contributed 4 $25 Gift Certificates for 4 randomly-chosen comments along the hop. Be sure to head to my personal blog for all the details!

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


I made a sweet baby shaker card with the Stars stencil, Bear Friends stamp set, Stitched Essentials 1, Stacked Edges 1 and Congrats Script.

In fact, the starry background panel on my card started as part of another card. I created this background with the inky, sparkly ‘mess’ that was left on the stencil after I blended ink and spritzed sparkle spray onto it to make the card in the video on my personal channel for today’s hop. 

It was so pretty, that I just couldn’t waste it, so I pressed it down onto a clean panel of white cardstock and the result was a shimmery, peachy background!

I created my shaker window with a tag die from Stitched Essentials 1 but I altered the shape and size a bit by covering the fish-tail bottom with my sentiment panel.

The sentiment was created with the Congrats Script die. This script font means that even after I stacked 3 of them together, the die cut was still flexible enough to be made to perfectly fit the curve of the banner. I filled the shaker with Pink Blush jewels – the perfect shade of pink, plus the iridescence picked up some of the yellow and peach tones from the background. 

Finally, I added the baby bear and a butterfly to the front of the card. I did some mirror stamping to create a second butterfly facing the first.

From its humble beginnings as ‘leftovers’ from another card, I would say this starry background has become a main player in this adorable baby card. I hope you agree!

Be sure to hop along (next video HERE) for lots more fun video inspiration using a variety of products AND a chance to win some prizes!

Halloween Theme Week- Day 4

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 4

Hi friends, it’s Dana! It is Halloween Theme Week at Pretty Pink Posh and I am excited to be sharing a fun Halloween card with you all. This week the design team will be sharing lots of projects that use many favorite Halloween products from the Pretty Pink Posh online shop. For my card, I used the Trick or Treat Friends set along with many other favorite supplies.

As an added bonus all the Halloween Products will be 15% during Halloween Theme Week. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 4

For my  card, I started by creating my background. I added Color Burst powders (Orchid, Merlot and Indigo) to a piece of watercolor paper along with some water to create my night sky. Once that was dry I used the Stars Stencil along with some Transparent Gloss Texture Paste. I love how the stars have a subtle but shiny texture.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 4

Next, I stamped my images from the Trick or Treat Friends Stamp Set and the Boo Stamp Set with a Copic friendly black ink. I colored my images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 4

I then ink blended Distress Oxide Ink in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn to a piece of smooth cardstock. I used the Scallop Borders 1 Die Set to create my ground/grass, and the Spooky Fence die to create the fun fence line in my background. Next, I stamped my sentiment from the Boo Stamp Set onto the bottom section of my grass.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Theme Week- Day 4

To finish my card, I attached my grass along with my fence line to my sky background. I then added all of my fun Halloween images to my card front with foam adhesive. These little trick or treaters, all dressed for Halloween, sure do make me smile!

I hope you enjoyed my card today! Join us tomorrow for another day of inspiration.

I colored the images from both stamp sets using Copic markers  and after die-cutting them, I arranged them all over with the two Trick or Treat Friends popping out of the word.
