Hey crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel and when it comes to three dimensional or interactive cards, I am hopeless if I need to do any measuring at all! That’s why I love Pretty Pink Posh’s die sets like the Shadow Box Dies. There is no measuring required! You die cut all the pieces that you need (which are all included in this set) and adhere everything together. That includes both sides of the box as well as decorative rectangles for the window and decorative edges for the “shelves” or layers of the shadow box.
It is so quick and easy to create the shadow box that you can spend more time decorating it! I added some of the Stitched Humingbird Dies. Cutting them out of colorful cardstock really popped off the greens and blues I used for my shadow box.
Welcome Pretty Pink Posh friends, Annette Allen here with you today and I am so excited to be guest designing for the June release. I hope you are ready for all the summer fun this release has to offer. It is time to shake it up with a fun seashell shaker card, so let’s get started.
Create card from white cardstock A2 size.
On a white A2 panel stencil the new Layered Seashells stencil using your favorite Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple ink pads. Don’t be afraid of layering the colors as it will give those seashells a fun color blend.
Adhere your stenciled background to your card using liquid glue or a tape runner.
Die cut the Seashell Shaker die on teal cardstock. I used a shimmer teal cardstock. The back of the shaker on white cardstock and for the window instead of clear acetate, let’s use vellum.
Adhere all your elements to create the shaker and fill it with the new Underwater Mix.
Now that we have a shaker let’s adhere it to the lower part of the card at an angle using liquid glue.
Stamp the sentiment You Are Spe-shell from the new Seashells stamp set on white cardstock, using black ink and then die cut using the coordinating Seashells dies. Die cut the coordinating die two more times on white cardstock and adhere it to the stamped die cut sentiment. This give the sentiment a little dimension. Adhere the sentiment to the Seashell shaker using foam tape.
Stamp the sentiment Enjoy Your Day from the new Sentiment Strips Summer stamp set on white cardstock using black ink. Die cut the sentiment out using the Sentiment Strips dies and adhere the sentiment to the seashell shaker using foam tape.
Nothing like a seashell shaker card… right? Make sure to check out all the inspiration from the design team using the new release. It is Shell-tastic.
Hello crafty friends, Barbara here! I’m sharing a fun and colorful project using the new Stitched Seashell dies. I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white card stock.
I then trimmed down a piece of light blue card stock to create a textured background panel that would be slightly smaller than the card base. Using the new Summer Words stencil I added texture paste over the top with a pallet knife.
I set that aside to dry completely while I cut all the gorgeous seashells dies to use for my project . I cut them from white card stock and then used distress ink and a foam blending tool to add lots of color. I added them to the stenciled panel with foam squares.
Last, I cut the new Summer Script dieout of more white card sock and added over the seashells for a fun summer themed card.
I hope that this card inspired you to play with this fun Summer collection. Thanks for stopping by!
Hello crafty friends! It’s June here, and today I’m on the blog to tell you a bit more about a card I made using the newest release. It’s a simple one, but definitely my favorite I’ve created this month!
First of all, I can’t be the only one that’s excited about a new addition to the wreath stamps right? I loved all the themed wreaths from back in the day, and seeing the newSeashell Wreath stamp set made me SO excited! For my color palette I used very soft colors, mostly beiges with some touches of pastel purple, yellow and pink.
I stamped even more shells from the Seashells stamp set and used the same colors as I did for the wreath for each type of shell or coral. I put some inside of the wreath and some on the bottom, trying to make sure the colors look balanced.
For my background, I used the largest of the Stitched Torn Rectangle dies, because it just adds such a nice detail to each card. I used Antique Linen Distress Oxide to add color to my panel. I put more color towards the edges, so the center would remain lighter. To make it look even more like sand, I took the same Distress Oxide and splattered it across my panel, also focussing it mostly around the edges.
To finish of my card, I used the scripted sentiment that’s in the Seashells stamp set and put it in the center of the wreath. This ended up being a rather simple card to create, but I love the way it turned out! I’m all for colorful cards, but more neutral colored cards like this one are so up my alley!
I hope to see you again soon, bye for now! Happy crafting!
Hello crafty friends! Christina here to share a sparkly, beach-inspired card using big, beautiful die cuts from the new Stitched Seashells and Stitched Coral sets. I used Copic markers to add shading and dimension to the die cuts, added a little sparkle, and then arranged them on a Chevron Pierced background panel. So easy and so pretty! Let’s dive in!
To create the background panel for the die cuts, I ran the Chevron Pierced Plate and aqua blue cardstock through my die cutting machine. Before mounting the pierced panel on a slightly larger aqua blue cardstock panel, I splattered it with a little thinned white gouache paint.
Next, I die cut the seashells and coral elements for my card design from colored cardstock using a tropical-inspired color palette. I chose a jade and chartreuse green, a pale yellow, salmon, peach, and ivory cardstock. After die cutting them, I added shading and dimension with Copic markers, and to add a little sparkle to the die cuts, I outlined the stitching detail with Diamond Stickles. Finally, I arranged them on my background panel and attached them with either glue or foam squares, depending on their placement and if they overlapped other die cuts.
To finish things up, I heat embossed a Friend Greeting and a Summer Sentiment with white embossing powder on the same aqua blue cardstock I used for the background. Then I die cut them with the coordinating die and a sentiment strip die before attaching them to my card front using more foam squares. The final detail was to add a few sequin embellishments from the Spring Meadow Mix.
Thanks for reading about my beach-inspired card design featuring some of the beautiful new die sets in the latest summer-themed collection. Happy crafting!
Hello there everyone, this is Nicky with you today on the Pretty Pink Posh blog where I’m sharing a fun and beachy shaker card showcasing amazing products from the June release.
I took a panel of white cardstock and over this I layered the new Seashell Background Stencil. Through it, I ink blended softly using a combination of Distress Oxide Inks in Tea Dye, Speckled Egg, Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade and Saltwater Taffy. I concentrated my blending on each shell or starfish in the design and then with the excess on my blending brush I’d work a little outside the lines also and ensured that everything softly ‘melted’ together.
I removed the stencil and glued this panel to my card base.
I used the Shoreline Borders Dieto create a sandy edge which I ink blended with more of the Tea Dye ink. I stamped the sentiment which was taken from the new Beach Fun stamp setand then I backed this sandy strip with some extra think dimensional foam tape and adhered to the background. I made sure to not place the foam tape where I was going to want to tuck the sand bucket shaker.
I die cut sturdy white cardstock about 5 times using the newSand Bucket Shaker Die to make a stack of the outline pieces and one of the full background shape.
I ink blended a little bit of pink to the background bucket piece and then glued the outline die cuts in a stack, reserving one. I sprinkled in the new Paradise Shaker Beads, sealed it with acetate and then added the final outline.
I glued the Sand Bucket Shaker to the card background at a playful angle and added the handle.
For the finishing touch, I die cut the spade from theSand Bucket die set. I did this three times. Once from pink cardstock, once from sparkling pink cardstock and once more in white. When I glued the pieces together I slightly offset the sparkling die cut so that you just get a glimpse of it on the right hand side. I highlighted the spade and tucked it in with the bucket and adhered with glue.
The finishing touch was just the addition of a few sparkling clear sequinsand then this project was done.

Hi friends Debbie here with the new Sandcastle Shaker from the June Release. This whole release is so fun and adorable. With all the fun shakers, Seashells, Stencils, and the beautiful mixes for inspiration! It brought out the inner mermaid in me! And who is ready for Summer!
Speaking of using the beads for inspiration, the Paradise Shaker Beads was mine on this Pink Sandcastle.
Starting off with the background, using the Layered Seashells Stencil. With Layer A, I ink blended on a light Orange. Once it was done I then placed layer B over the panel and ink blended on a darker Orange on the shells. To incorporate the pink, I added pink ink to the stars on layer B. Next, I die cut the panel out using the larger Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die.
Then in the center of the panel I die cut out the whole Sandcastle Shaker Die. Also die cutting it from a pink card stock using both the outer and inner dies to create the frame of the sandcastle.
Adhering acetate to the back of the panel with double sided adhesive. Then adding foam strips around the window to create a well for theParadise Shaker Beads. Once the beads were poured inside I placed a Melon colored card stock over to in case the beads.
Next, on the front of the panel I attached the sandcastle frame. Adding a darker pink for the flags and door. The center flag did go off the panel so I popped a small foam square to the back of it.
For the sentiment I used one from the Sentiment Strips: Summer. Stamping and White heat embossed it on a brighter Orange. Then die cutting it out with Sentiment Strips Dies, adding thin foam squares to the back but making sure they aren’t where the flag would be. This will keep the sentiment nice and even.
I love how this card turned out, let me know what you think! It such a fun and really pretty easy card to make. It’s like our own Barbie Sandcastle!
Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty my friends!

Welcome to the last day of sneak peeks of our June 5th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the Stitched Coral, Chevron Pierced Plate, and Good Vibes Shadow die sets.
Hi Friends! It’s Christina and I’m here to share another sneak peek at the incredible June 5th summertime release. Today I’m showcasing the Stitched Coral die set, one of my favorite things from this release. I thought these tropical-colored die cuts paired perfectly with the Watercolor Oval stencil stencil to create a dazzling under-the-sea card design. Below you’ll find even more sneak peek inspiration from the team, but first I’ll share all the details for my inspiration project!
I started by die cutting the elements I wanted to use from the Stitched Coral die set and the new Seashell Border die set from white cardstock. Using tropical ink colors, I ink blended the die cuts using blending brushes and then added texture with a darker ink color and a sea sponge. By the way, sea sponges are a great tool to have in your arsenal; they are inexpensive and can be used with almost any medium to add texture and interest to your craft projects! Finally, to give the coral and the shell die cuts a little shimmer, I spritzed them with coordinating Mica Stains.
To create an under-the-sea backdrop for the die cuts, I started by stenciling the Watercolor Ovalon a white cardstock panel with teal ink. Then, using the new Wave Edges Stencil, I stenciled a wave pattern inside the oval with a darker teal shade. And to give the background a little more interest, I splattered it with plain water and with the same teal ink colors I used for stenciling.
With the background and the die cuts ready to go, I got to work assembling and finishing up my card design. First I trimmed the background panel to 4 x 5 ¼ and attached it to a card base with foam tape. Then I arranged my coral and shell die cuts inside the watercolor oval and attached them with either glue or foam squares, depending on their placement and if they overlapped. Next I added the Hello Script greeting and a gold heat embossed sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips: Summer set. I die cut the sentiment with a Sentiment Strip die before attaching it under the greeting and then added a fewMatte Gold Confetti embellishments.

We hope you enjoyed this sneak peek. We’ll be back tomorrow with a full picture reveal of the release!
