Tropical Drink

Hi crafty friends, June here! Today I’m sharing a very detailed card I created using the new June release. Let’s get started!

I started off by making a Summer Drink Shaker. As a cocktail lover, I couldn’t be any more excited about all the cocktail themed products that are in the release! I love very fruity cocktails with a floral hint, so that’s exactly what I chose to make for this card. I masked the top part of the shaker back panel and blended a peachy gradient. I also did some white ink splattering on top to make the drink appear fizzy. I filled the inside with my own die cuts instead of using shaker beads. I cut some ice cubes from the Summer Cocktails die set from iridescent cardstock and tiny flowers from Spring Foliage. I also cut out one of the larger flowers to put on the rim of the glass. 

To add even more decorations to my drink, I cut out the icing from the Big Halloween Cupcake and trimmed it so I could put it on the rim of the glass aswel. I did some slight purple blending on it to bring in more of the color of the flowers. I also cut the included parasol from theshaker set and did a bit of Copic coloring on it to match the color scheme. The ‘fun in the sun’ sentiment from Happy Summer fits perfectly inside the glass, so I embossed it on a piece of vellum to put it ‘inside’.

I made a very busy background using leaves and banners. I cut a variety of leaves from the new Tropical Leaves dies and did a bit of Copic coloring on them for some added dimension. My banners are from the older Streamer die set. I thought it would add to the summery cocktail bar vibes, so I cut a few of them from various cardstock colors that matched the color palette. 

I thought the cocktail looked like it might have grapefruit in it (even though I really dislike grapefruit), so I used the citrus dies from both the Summer Drink Shaker and Summer Cocktails to make slices of grapefruit. They are colored completely using Copics and white gel pen so I could add as much detailing as possible.

The background is just a soft ink blended butter yellow panel with a Scallop Frame on top, and matted onto a piece of peach colored cardstock. I like the way the yellow background brings back the yellow from the flower centers!

And that’s it for today! Something tells me I’d really enjoy this cocktail even though it has grapefruit in it. Maybe next time I can try making one of my favorites, like a Lazy Red Cheeks or a Shirley Temple! Do you have a favorite cocktail you want to try making using the new release? Be sure to tell us!

Anyway, I hope to see you again soon on the blog, bye for now!

Summer Sunshine Bucket

Hi everyone! It’s Caly again and I’m back to share more summer inspiration for today’s Instagram hop! Be sure to head to the Pretty Pink Posh Instagram to hop along for lots of inspiration, and your chance at a gift card everyday! My project features the fun Candy Bucket and new Summer Bucket Additions and Summer Holder Additions.

Candy Bucket Dies
Summer Bucket Additions Dies
Summer Holder Additions Dies
Large Summer Shadow Dies
Layered Summer Fun Stencils

I made a fun background using the Layered Summer Fun Stencils, isolating all the icons so I could use several different colors.  To soften it, I added a vellum layer on top before building my summer bucket.

I made a summer bucket using the Summer Bucket Additions and Summer Holder Additions using similar colors that I used on the background and finished with the Large Summer Shadow Dies for the sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed this card! Thanks so much for visiting!

Summertime Grid Card

Hello Friends! It’s Dana here today and I am sharing a card that uses the adorable Summer Holder Additions die set. This set includes lots of dies that can be used with the new Flamingo Holder die or any of the other Animal Holder dies that are available. I decided to use the dies to create a grid layout, but will definitely be using these dies again with the fun flamingo.

I started my card by die cutting all of my images with the Summer Holder Addition dies. I die cut the pieces from fun bright summer colors and then used a strong liquid glue to assemble the individual images. Next, I used the Checkered Pierced Plate to create my card panel. I attached my images with foam adhesive, in a grid design to the panel, leaving a spot open for my sentiment.

Lastly, I used the Summer Banner Greetings stamp set and Banner Greetings 3 dies for my sentiment. I attached my sentiment banner with foam adhesive to finish my card. Such a fun card to create and I love that it can be used for lots of different occasions by just changing the sentiment.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope I inspired you to use the Summer Holder Additions dies to create a card of your own.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Sunset Summer Cocktails

Hi friends, Debbie here with you today! Things are getting hot over here at Pretty Pink Posh with the new Summer Release! Who’s ready for summer or a Tropical Vacation!? I am sharing the new refresh Summer Cocktail Dies that’s sure to quench your thirst!

I started off with the new Layered Summer Drinks Stencil and a standard A2 panel of Neenah card stock #80. With the first layer (A)and the panel on a grip mat I ink blended on a gray dye ink. Then with the next layer (B) I used a yellow and reddish pink dye inks to make orange in the middle with a soft blend at an angle. For layer (C) I went with the same colors but one shade darker. If you don’t have a shade darker you can just go in with a heavier hand. 

Summer Cocktail Dies
Layered Summer Drinks Stencil
Summer Banner Greetings Stamp Set
Rounded Stitched Rectangle Dies
Banner Greetings 1 Die Set
Fruit Mug Additions

Next, with the largest Rounded Stitched Rectangle Dies I die-cut out the stenciled panel and matted it with a matching card stock. I also die-cut out a piece of vellum with the second largest Rounded Stitched Rectangles die.

With the Summer Cocktail Dies, I die-cut out the drinks from white card stock and blended on with same dye inks that I used for the stencil panel. It definitely looks delicious or a beautiful sunrise! For the rest of the elements I used colored card stock adding on some dimension and white highlights. Adhering the elements together with liquid glue and adding foam squares to the back of the overlapping fruits. 

For the sentiment I used the new Summer Banner Greetings stamp set, stamping out the “Kick Back & Relax” with one of the previously dye inks used.  Die-cutting the sentiment out using the previously released Banner Greetings 1 Die Set. To finish off my sentiment I went through my stash and found the “Cheers” die from an older set called Fruit Mug Additions die-cutting it out several times to add dimension.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a refreshing day!

Hello, friends! It’s Caly with you and today’s card celebrates the June 2026 release with Hibiscus!  Join us for the video hop, sharing lots of inspiration from this fun release and leave a comment along the way for your chance to win a gift card to shop this release!

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

Layered Hibiscus Stencils
Hibiscus Flowers Dies
Tropical Leaves Dies
Summer Banner Greetings Stamps
Banner Greetings 1 Dies
Summer Blooms Mix
Rainbow Sherbet Beads

To make my infinity shaker, I started with the background. I ink-blended a soft hibiscus background using the Layered Hibiscus Stencils. I knew this layer would be good for the background and chose soft colors intentionally.

When done, I turned this into an infinity shaker using some cellophane from stamp/die packaging.  It’s an easy, lightweight option!  Be sure to watch my video to see how it’s done if you are interested!  I filled the shaker with a mixture of the Summer Blooms Clay Mix and Rainbow Sherbet Glass Shaker Beads.

I die-cut flowers and leaves using the Hibiscus Flowers Dies and the Tropical Leaves Dies and ink-blended them to add color.  Using a detailed brush, I added texture to the hibiscus flowers and leaves.

I finished by creating a tropical spray over the shaker panel and added a sentiment from the Summer Banner Greetings stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed this project! Thanks so much for visiting!

June Release Now Available

Hi friends! The June 2026 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post yesterday, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Mindy has that for you today!

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

Hello crafty friends, June here! Today I’m sharing my favourite card I made using supplies from the new June release. The Sun Shaker was a die that instantly stood out to me, so I had to create a card where it was the main focus! Let’s get started!

I cut the Sun Shaker from yellow cardstock and did some light ink blending on just the back piece of the shaker. I only used the middle shaker inlay piece, but also cut the ones that are supposed to make the rays part of the shaker from a darker shade of yellow cardstock so I could add a bit of detail to the sun. I filled the sun with the Summer Blooms Mix and the Rainbow Sherbet Shaker Beads, because it’s gonna be a great match for the floral background I have planned.

I stencilled a background with the new Layered Hibiscus stencils and Distress Oxides. I used Victorian Velvet, Aged Mahogany, Scattered Straw and Rustic Wilderness. I also used the Victorian Velvet to splatter around my flowers to fill the white space. Once dry, I ran my background through my die cutting machine using the Argyle Pierced Plate. I love the combination of this with the floral print, it looks exactly like a vintage quilted plaid I used to own. To keep up with that theme, I cut a Scallop Frame cause I thought it would add to the vintage look. I matted the background onto a panel that I blended a gradient on using the same Victorian Velvet and Aged Mahogany.

For the sentiment, I cut the new Large Summer Shadow from white cardstock and carefully did the same blend on it. I backed it using the shadow piece cut from iridescent cardstock. It’s not visible in my photos, but it matches perfectly with the pink and green color scheme when the light hits it just right. I also added a banner from Banner Greetings 2 and stamped one of the new Summer Banner Greetings on it using a dark yellow ink to match the sun.

This new release is SO getting me into a summer mood! How about you? The weather was so warm a while ago and it completely turned around, so I can use all the summer vibes I can get! I hope to see you again soon, bye!

Hello and welcome to the last day of sneak peeks for the June 15th release.

This release includes four stamp sets, three coordinating dies, eleven standalone dies, five stencils, and four embellishments.

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

Hey, Sunshine! Melissa here with you today and I’m lucky enough to be sharing a couple of cards created with the new Pretty Pink Posh June Release stamps and stencils.  Let’s jump right in and make a splash!

My first card uses the new Layered Hibiscus stencils to create my background, using bright and playful colors to set the tone of the card. These sweet tropical flowers make me smile and will be sure to brighten your day!  After creating my background, I used the new Sunburst Pierced Plate to bring in the texture and accentuate the theme of my card.

I then cut white cardstock using the Sun Shaker die and added yellows and a bit of rusty orange to create an ink-blended sunshine.  I added this to the center of my card using foam adhesive to allow it to pop off the background.

Next, I die cut and stamped my flowers using images from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set with coordinating dies. I colored them using my Copic Markers and added then beneath my sunshine, once again using foam adhesive. To finish, I die cut and stamped my cheerful sentiment using the Happy Summer stamp set and coordinating dies.  What a happy card to create!

I had such fun creating my second card for you. I began by using the new and oh, so adorable, Layered Summer Fun stencils. Sunglasses, flip flops, sunshine and more, create the cutest background for your summertime cards.

I then used vellum, white cardstock, and the Eyelet Circles dies to create a layered base for my focal points. I used the Summer Sips stamp set and coordinating dies to bring in some fresh, summer drinks, sunshine, and hibiscus.  I used a fun technique on my stamped images by adding color through ink blending.  I added just a touch of shading using my Copic Markers.  

After I adhered my stamped images, I used the new Summer Banner Greetings stamp set and the Banner Greetings 2 dies to create my sentiment. Adhering it on a diagonal was a fun and unexpected twist that balances out my card.  

Ready to see some wonderful samples from the team using these products? It’s so fun to see how we can use the same products in such a variety of ways!

It’s been such a treat to create for you today.  Happy crafting with these new supplies…you’ll love every minute. Join us tomorrow as we reveal all the new products!

June Intro: Sneak Peek Day 3

It’s Day 3 of sneak peeks for the June 15th release and today we’ll be taking a look at four of the new standalone die sets: Fun in the Sun Shadow, Sun Shaker, Summer Bucket Additions, and Sunburst Pierced Plate.

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

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today and I am thrilled to show you a little sneak peek of the upcoming June Release. This awesome release is packed with everything happy and fun about summer. I had so much fun with this release and have three cards to share with you today showcasing the soon-to-be-released Fun in the Sun Shadow Dies, Sun Shaker Dies, Summer Bucket Additions Dies and the Sunburst Pierced Plate. So let’s get started.

Fun in the Sun! My first card features the Sun Shaker Dies, Fun in the Sun Shadow Dies and the Sunburst Pierced Plate with the help of the Summer Bucket Additions Dies and Summer Holder Additions Dies. 

I started with Sunburst Pierced Plate to create a subtle texture on my white cardstock background. I trimmed the edge off and matted the panel with a piece of teal cardstock. 

Next, I diecut with the Sun Shaker Dies for the adorable sun, the Summer Holder Additions Dies for the little sunglasses, the Summer Bucket Additions Dies for the popsicles and colored cardstock. I assembled the pieces and highlighted with a white gel pen. The sun and popsicles were adhered to the panel. Some were popped up with foam tape for a bit of interest. 

I used the Fun in the Sun Shadow Dies to diecut the sentiment out of teal and white carsdstock. I love this fun combo of the two fonts. This beautiful die can easily hold its own and be the center of attention on an A2 card. I adhered to sentiment and shadow to each other with liquid glue and then to the card front with foam tape. I finished the card with a few Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix. 

Hello Summer! My second card features the Summer Bucket Additions Dies and the Sunburst Pierced Plate with the help of the Summer Cocktails Dies, Summer Holder Additions Dies, the Happy Summer Stamp & Dies and the previously released Candy Bucket Dies. Isn’t that flamingo just the cutest? And don’t these yummy fruit popsicles just scream summer?! 

Once again, I created a subtle background with the Sunburst Pierced Plate. I am a huge fan of clean and simple card designs and white space. I love how this plate adds just a little subtle interest while preserving that pure white space for me. This time I matted the panel with a piece of pink cardstock.

I used the Summer Bucket Additions Dies, Summer Holder Additions Dies and the previously released Candy Bucket Dies to diecut the flamingo, popsicle sticks, sunglasses and bucket out of colored cardstock. The Summer Bucket Additions Dies and Summer Cocktails Dies were used to diecut the popsicles and fruits out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I did some simple coloring of the popsicles and fruits with Copic markers and added seeds with a black Pigma Micron pen. I assembled the diecuts and highlighted with a white gel pen. The popsicles and bucket were adhered to the card front with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape,

COPIC COLORS (popsicles):
Kiwi: YG00/01, YG01/03 (fruits)
Watermelon: R22/24, YG25
Strawberry: R20, R22/24,YG25 (fruits)

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Hello” and “Summer” sentiments from the Happy Summer stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and white heat embossed before using the coordinating Happy Summer coordinating dies and Sentiment Strips Dies to diecut them out. I adhered the sentiment to the card front with foam tape and finished the card with some Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

Summer Greetings! My third card features more of the many fun elements of the Summer Bucket Additions Dies along with the Sunburst Pierced Plate, the Summer Banner Greetings and the previously released Candy Bucket Dies and Banner Greetings 2 Dies. There are so many different ways to use and decorate with the Summer Bucket Additions Dies. The possibilities are endless!

Once again, I created a subtle background with the Sunburst Pierced Plate. I trimmed down the panel and matted with a piece of teal cardstock. 

I used the Summer Bucket Additions Dies and the Candy Buckets Dies to diecut all of the elements out of colored cardstock. I assembled the elements and highlighted with a white gel pen. I adhered them to the card front with liquid glue and foam tape. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Summer Greetings” sentiment from the Summer Banner Greetings stamp set onto a piece of white cardstock. I used the Banner Greetings 2 Dies to diecut it out. I used the same die to diecut another banner out of teal cardstock. The banners were adhered to each other with glue and then to the card front with foam tape. I finished the card with some Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

Ready to see what the team has created with these products?

There are just endless ways to play with these super fun products from the June Release. Come back tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!
