Pastel Fall Leaves

Hello, Gemma here today to share a fall themed thank you card.

I began by die cutting the new Fall Leaves BorderI cut the full border from white card, then the individual leaves from different colours of cardstock. I then adhered these leaves over the top of the full border.

Next, I worked on the sentiment. I die cut the thanks word and shadow from the new Many Thanks Shadow die. The shadow is cut from navy card, and the scripty work on top is die cut from gold glitter card. I then adhered the pieces tougher with liquid glue.

For an additional sentiment, I partially stamped a greeting from the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set, heat embossing it in white on navy card. I used a Sentiment Strips die to cut it out.

I used an older stencil set Layered Argyle to add some detail directly to an A2 card base. I picked some pink distress oxides to blend each stencil layer – spun sugar, kitsch flamingo, and picked raspberry.

On the top section of my card base, I adhered a panel of navy card, then added the fall leaves border between that and the stenciled background. I then adhered the sentiments at the to finish.

I hope you enjoyed this fall card. Thanks for stopping by!

Ghostly Greetings

Hello everyone, June here and I’m sharing my process for a spooky Halloween card using the Halloween release.

I started out by selecting 2 ghosts from the Stitched Ghosts Dies I wanted to use for my focal point. I love how you can mix and match the faces on them! I also decorated my ghosts by adding a subtle ombre look using Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide ink and adding some blush on their cheeks using Copic Markers and white gel pen. I backed the faces using a scrap piece of black cardstock to make them pop.

For my background I blended a solid panel of Lost Shadow Distress Oxide and used the Scattered Bats Stencil and Hickory Smoke to add a cute bat pattern. I used a very light hand for this and even went back to Lost Shadow to make sure the bats weren’t too dark.

I feel like the background still distracted a bit too much from my ghosts, so I cut out one of the Eyelet Ovals Dies so I had something to back my ghosts onto. I used foam stickers to adhere them because I didn’t like the white-on-white look, and adding some dimension made them pop out a bit more.

I embossed one of my new favorite sentiments from the Halloween Corners Stamp Set in white onto some black cardstock and also adhered it using foam tape. I thought I was finished at this point, but it looked a bit… plain maybe? So I looked through the entire release to find something I could add more detail with, and suddenly realized how fun those sentiments from Upright Greetings: Halloween were. I chose my sentiments based on their length so it could frame my card nicely and I stamped them in a grey ink that was slightly darker than my bats for even more of the same tone-on-tone look. 

I really like how this one turned out! I like the little pop of color on the ghosts against the ghostly pastel grey background.

Anyway, I’ll see you again soon, bye crafty friends!

Happy Halloween Monsters

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I’m sharing a Halloween card I made inspired by some patterned paper that I have had sitting in my collection for too long!

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

I started with making a custom background by stenciling the Halloween Words Stencil with Distress Oxides in Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed, Pumice Stone and Peacock Feathers on white cardstock. Using the largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies, I cut it and splattered some black ink before setting it aside to dry.

Next I did a lot of die cutting from patterned paper using the Build A Monster Dies and assembled them all together. You can see the steps I did to build them by watching my video today! I also added some pink cheeks with a marker and some white highlights with a gel pen.

My sentiment is embossed in white on black cardstock using “Happy Halloween” from the Halloween Corners Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies. I also cut the second largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies out of vellum. I layered the stenciled background onto a card base, then the vellum, followed by the monsters and sentiment with foam adhesive to give them some dimension on top of the Stitched Torn Rectangles.

I love these unique colors for Halloween and that you can personalize the monsters in such a fun way with patterned paper! What color combination would you use with the Build A Monster Dies for Halloween?

Thankful Fall Greetings

Hi friends! Christina here to share a cozy autumn scene card featuring the new Fall Harvest stamp set and the coordinating dies. I combined this set with some goodies from the latest release, and to really play up the fall vibes, I used kraft cardstock and chose a beautiful autumn color palette. Follow along as I walk you through the steps to creating this adorable seasonal project!

I started by stenciling the background with the Layered Birch Trees Stencils on kraft cardstock using white pigment ink for the first layer and dark brown ink for the second detail layer. Then, I die cut the stenciled panel with the largest Scallop Frames Die. I also die cut two additional scallop frames to stack with the original frame and attached everything to a kraft cardstock panel trimmed to 4 ¼  x 5 ¼ “ .

My next step was to stamp images from the Fall Harvest stamp set, the Fall Icons stamp set and Halloween Icons stamp set, and the ghost from the Halloween Corners stamp set with black ink on white cardstock. I used alcohol ink markers to color the images before die cutting with the coordinating dies. I used a combination of liquid adhesive and foam squares to attach them to my background and then added white gel pen highlights to some of the images.

My last step was to stamp the Thankful sentiment from the Fall Harvest Stamp set with dark brown ink. Then I die cut it using the coordinating die and layered it with a couple of blank die cuts before attaching it to my card. Lastly, I added white heat embossed sub sentiments from the same set as well as one from the Sentiment Strips:Fall Stamp Set, both die cut with the Sentiment Strips Dies

That completes this super cozy autumn scene card featuring the new Fall Harvest stamp set. Check out the new release over in the shop for all your fall crafting supplies. See you again soon!

Video: Easy Fall Icons Card

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel today. I wanted to share a simple but cute card for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday using the Fall Icons Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies!

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

I started with stenciling my background using the Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils with brown ink with the (A) stencil and red ink with the (B) stencil on white cardstock that measures 3.5 x 4.75”. This panel was adhered to a piece of kraft cardstock trimmed to 4 x 5.25”, then onto an A2 card base.

The six Fall Icons were stamped with my stamping platform first in a brown alcohol marker friendly ink and I colored them with alcohol markers. You can watch the YouTube video on the Pretty Pink Posh Channel if you want to see a close up of the coloring and the complete process of making the card. After I was done coloring, I put the paper back into the stamping platform and stamped the images again with a darker brown ink that is not alcohol marker friendly to create darker lines around the images.

I cut all of the images with the smaller circle in the Fall Icons Coordinating Die Set as well as six scalloped circles out of kraft cardstock. I layered the circles with adhesive and added foam adhesive to the back. I then added them to the card!

You can step up this card by adding a sentiment or minimizing the spacing to add more icons. I hope this brings you some inspiration today and you’re excited to head into Fall like I am!

Elegant Autumn Harvest

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back sharing a card that uses the gorgeous Layered Autumn Harvest stencils

I started my card by making my card panel with the Layered Autumn Harvest stencil set. This is a set of three stencils that layer together to create a beautiful fall card panel. I used dye inks and finger daubers for my blending. Once my panel was finished I splattered it with a little copper paint and set it aside to dry.

Next, I used the Many Thanks Shadow die set for my sentiment. I used copper cardstock for my sentiment and vellum for the shadow layer. Although the vellum is subtle it creates a nice layer to help the sentiment not get “lost”. Once I trimmed my panel down I attached my sentiment to finish my card.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope I inspired you to create a fall card of your own.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Happy Fall Turkey

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here today to share some turkey love!  I mean how stinking cute is this turkey, perfect for fall! Let’s get started!

First, I pulled out an array of orange and brown cardstock to do some die cutting with the super cute new Stitched Turkey dies. I adhered the pieces of the turkey but for the face I decided to cut out a yellow triangle for the nose and added some googley eyes. To finish the turkey I added a bit of splatter towards the bottom of the turkey body.   I set the adorable turkey aside and now it was time to work on the background.   

For my background I decided to use one of new fall stencils called Layered Leaf Lattice. It’s a beautiful stencil set and gives your background some fall goodness.  I used orange die inks to stencil, I added some splatter to the top left corner and bottom right.  I cut the stenciled background down to 5 x 3 3/4 inches.  For a pop of color I adhered the stencil panel to the same cardstock I used for the turkey.  I adhered the Turkey to panel and now it was time to work on the sentiment. 

For the sentiments I used the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set.  I heat embossed them with brown embossing powder onto white cardstock.  I die cut the long sentiment with the Sentiment Strips Dies and flagged the ends.  For the smaller sentiment I wanted the turkey to hold a sign and the Big Valentine Cupcakes dies had the perfect die.  I put the sign together and loved it!  I needed a resting place for the long sentiment and decided to use the new Fall Leaves Border.  I felt like the long sentiment still needed something,  I decided to die cut a strip of orange from the Sentiment Strips dies and I loved the way it turned out.  This card was so much to make, the turkey is so stinking adorable.  Wouldn’t this make the cutest place cards for turkey dinner and/or a great banner across a mantel!?  The possibilities are endless with this cutie, the Stitched Turkey Dies!

Thank you so much for stopping by friends and have a great day!

Mushroom Shaker Duo

Hello! It’s Lindsey here, and I am delighted to be guest designing for Pretty Pink Posh this month. It is no secret that I am a fan of dies, so I was eager to try out the new Mushroom Shaker Dies

These dies are larger in size, so they make a big impact on a card.  I filled the cute Mushroom Shakers with Mint Shimmer and Strawberry Shimmer Confetti. Then I created this happy little mushroom scene using a variety of mushrooms in the Pretty Pink Posh collection.  You can find them in the Fall Mug Additions Dies and the Fall Foliage Dies.

I used the Pierced Leafy Vines Plate Die to create a panel on my card base to ground the scene.  Then I added a few little wheat stalks from the Fall Basket Dies and a couple moths from the new Fall Icons stamps and coordinating dies.

I built my sentiment using the new Many Thanks Shadow Dies and the Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set.  I love cards like this because they can work for lots of occasions. 

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope leave inspired and excited to create with these fabulous new fall goodies.

Thanksgiving Turkey

Hello friends, it’s Kristie here! Fall cards are my absolute favorite to make and I quickly fell in love with Pretty Pink Posh’s fall release! I love getting an early start on holiday cards, so I decided to use the Stitched Turkey die set for a fun Thanksgiving card.

For the background, I used the Layered Leaf Lattice stencil set on some white pearlescent cardstock. It’s so fun stenciling on specialty cardstock. Adds a little extra shimmer to the card. The ink colors I used are Distress Oxide Vintage Photo and Crackling Campfire. I did let the ink dry completely so it didn’t smudge.

For a little extra detail on the background, I added 4 chevron Stacked Edges die cuts. I did use some woodgrain patterned paper for the Stacked Edges pieces.

It’s always fun to use non-traditional colors for holiday colors. I couldn’t resist adding a bit of teal and soft pink to the sweet turkey. For the back row of feathers, I used 2 different cardstock colors, teal and orange. I used the soft pink cardstock for the smaller, front row of feathers.

The sentiment Happy Thanksgiving is part of the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set. I cut it out using the Sentiment Strips die set. To help the sentiment pop, I cut out 2 sentiment banner die cut pieces, one from teal cardstock and one from dark brown cardstock. I offset them slightly creating a dark brown drop shadow.

You can watch how I made this card on YouTube. https://youtu.be/uh6ifMsrE7U

This is such a fun release and perfect for making fall cards!
