Hello! This is Nicky with you today with a ‘slimline’ card where I have used two older but much beloved Pretty pink Posh stamp sets, namely Koala Friends and Birthday Friends.
This card measures 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches with a panel cut at 8.2 inches x 3.2 inches. You can purchase envelopes for a card with these dimensions – just search for Slimline, Invitation, #9 or Size 9 envelopes.
I ink blended my background using a Clarity Stencil Brush and Distress Ink in Mowed Lawn and Mermaid Lagoon. I used a hill stencil (of which there are many on the market). I stamped the sentiment and then backed the panel with white craft foam and adhered it to the base. Using craft foam not only nicely lifts your panel but it also helps cards with embellishments survive the rigors of the mailing system!
My images were all stamped on Bristol Smooth cardstock using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil. I watercolour painted them all using Kuretake Zigs. Koalas were painting using Grey No.91 and Mid Gray No.96. Three other colours were used for the accessories and they were Yellow No.50, Light Pink No.26 and Light Green No.41. Certain areas were highlighted with a Uniball Signo white gel pen.
The images were then either die cut or fussy cut and applied with dimensional foam tape. I embellished my card with Pretty Pink Posh jewels- Lemon Drop, Pink Blush and Spring Green– as seen in the image above and since I had one remaining painted image I decided to add it to the inside of my card as a cute little surprise.
I appreciate you stopping by to read today, thank you and happy crafting! Nicky x
Usually when I build a shaker card, I use foam tape for the shaker walls. But you can also stack a die cut to create the walls and that’s what I did here. I started by cutting theLattice Background Die 5 times – 4 from plain white cardstock and 1 from a panel of cardstock that I had blended a rainbow of ink onto.
I used liquid glue to stack the 4 white die cuts and then glued a panel of acetate on top before gluing the rainbow die cut on the very top. When the glue was dry, I flipped it over, and there were lots of tiny windows just waiting to be filled!
I put one tiny jewel in each window, using a jewel pickerand craft pick to make sure that the faceted shiny side was facing out the window. I went in rainbow order, trying to match the rainbow on the front of the card.
Hi, everyone! It’s Marge here and today I’m going to share a Father’s Day card design which is not that much masculine but with cute critters selected from various stamps sets.
Next, I trimmed a piece of A2 sized Bristol Paper, and then I ink blended it in teal blue and olive green using my cube dye inks ( Teal Cave and Galactic Stream, Olive and Moss). For visual interest, I splattered with water, white acrylic ink, and deep navy colored inks onto my panel and let them dry. After my panel was dry enough, I stamped a sentiment from Father’s Day stamp setwith Versamark Ink on the top of the panel using my MISTI, then I heat embossed it in white.
Copic markers I used: E27-E25-E23-E21 and E47-E44-E42 for Giraffe, Warm Gray and Cool Gray for Elephants, RV13-R20-R30-R000 for ear, B37-B34-BG07-BG05-BG02 for balloon,
That’s it from me for today. Thanks for stopping by.
I started by die cutting the stitched rectangle from the Stitched Notes die set– this meant that I knew exactly how much space I had for my adorable critters!
I stamped the elephant first, slightly off-centre. I knew I wanted the fox to the right, facing the elephant, and his sign is longer, so I needed a bit more space on that side for him.
Next, I cut a mask for the elephant before stamping the koala on the left and the fox on the right. This gives just a little bit of overlap and makes them look like they are one larger image. I made sure that all their feet were lined up, so that they are ‘standing’ on the same level.
I stamped the sentiments from Animal Signs, Father’s Day andElephant Friends into the signs and then coloured the animals with Copic markers, using minimal shading.
To create the sentiment, I used sharp scissors to perform ‘stamp surgery’ on the Happy Father’s Day sentiment from Father’s Day . If this is not your thing, you can carefully mask it and stamp it 3 separate times – make sure you clean it completely each time so you don’t get any ghosting!
To add a bit of colour, I blended light blue ink over the top half of the card, fading out towards the animals, so I didn’t have to do any more masking!
To finish the card, I created an oyster-gray card base and stamped the confetti from Congrats Grad all around the edge to create a little texture and interest around my scene.
The Animal Signs set is great for so many occasions! Since the sign spaces are open, you can really customize it for the recipient.
I hope you were inspired by this card. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Friends! It is Dana here today sharing a Tropical themed card from the New Release at Pretty Pink Posh. My card today uses the most creative and fun die called Beach Scene. It is one die that cuts all of the pieces to create your beach scene.
To create myBeach Scene, I began by die cutting the scene from a sky blue piece of cardstock. I kept this piece together and attached it to my card panel. Next, I used little scraps of cardstock and I die cut the small little pieces for the scene. I then layed the small pieces on top of my die cut matching the lines. It was really easy to do because everything matches up perfectly with my original cut.
Next, I used the Happy Summer Script die. I die cut it from a piece of cement gray cardstock and attached it to the bottom of my card panel. This die is perfect for an end of the school year card… perfect for a student, teacher or even the office staff.
To finish my card, I mounted my card front onto a cement gray cardstock mat and attached everything to a rainbow panel of patterned paper. Lastly, I attached everything to my A2 card base.

Hi friends, Angelica here with a fabulous Happy Summer card. This cards so bright and cheerful, and makes me so happy to know sunny days are finally here!
I used the new Tropical Background stencil to make the background. I attached the stencil to a white card panel, and blended MFT Summer Splash ink, starting from the left upper corner, and blending down. I lightened my touch to blend the ink out towards the bottom. I stamped a sentiment from the Summer Friends stamp set, then added the colored images with glue and foam squares. I attached the panel to a card base with foam adhesive, and added new Flamingo Pink Jewels for my final touch.
Such a simple card, with vibrant colors that will definitely brighten anyone’s day. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I’m sharing some mini shaped cards using some of the brand-new items in the upcoming release. I’m using four of the brand-new dies being released as well as a couple of oldies.
Before I started making any of my cards, I
die cut all of my elements first. This made creating these mini cards
super-fast.
Card #1 – Aloha Shaker – 1x Yellow and 1x Orange Cardstock / Decorative Tag #2 Dies – 2x White Cardstock, 1x Blue Striped Patterned Paper
Card #2 – Beach Scene – 1x White Cardstock
/ Aloha Shaker – 1x White Cardstock / 2x White Cardstock and 1x Yellow Plaid
Patterned Paper from a Circle Die.
Card #3 – Tropical Frame – 1x Vellum and 1x White Cardstock / Happy Summer Script – 1x Yellow Cardstock / Window Frames Dies – 3x White Cardstock and 1x Green Striped Patterned Paper
To create the card bases, I take both of the white shaped die cuts (Decorative Tag 2, Circle and Window Frames), take one, score one side of them about ½” from the top and then add adhesive to them. I adhere the other blank panel on top to create the card bases. With the Decorative Tag 2 and Circle ones I did slice off the bottom of the back panel, so they sit correctly. Now that everything is die cut and the card bases are assembled, let’s move onto the cards.
For my first card I’m using the new Aloha Shaker Die as well as the Decorative Tag 2 Dies. I adhered the blue striped patterned paper onto the card base first, I then took a piece of acetate and adhered it behind the orange Aloha Shaker Die Cut. I added a double layer of foam tape around the perimeter and then added some sequins to the card base. I removed the backers and adhered the die cut into place. I then took the yellow Aloha Shaker Die Cut, sliced it in half using my paper trimmer and adhered it on the right-hand side of my orange piece. I love this two-tone effect.
For my second card, I used the Beach Scene and Aloha Shaker Die. I started off with lightly adhering down all my pieces from the Beach Scene Die onto some black cardstock. I then coloured all the pieces in with Copic Markers. I adhered the yellow plaid patterned paper to the circle card base and adhered the white frame from Beach Scene with foam tape. I then added flat adhesive to the backs of all the pieces and adhered them into place. Lastly, I took the Aloha Shaker Die Cut, cut out the Aloha, added foam tape onto the back and adhered it into the centre of my scene.
For my final card, I used the Tropical Frame Die as well as the Happy Summer Script Dies. I adhered my green striped patterned paper onto the Window Frames card base. I then took my vellum Tropical Frame and cut off the top of bottom pieces. I adhered one down directly onto my card, and then one onto the back of my extra window frame piece that had been die cut from the centre as well. I added foam tape onto the back and adhered it into place. I then took the white Tropical Frame Die and coloured in a few of the leaves with green Copic Markers. I then cut them out from the frame and adhered them randomly around the card for more interest. Lastly, I adhered the ‘Summer’ part of the sentiment onto the bottom and then used the Halloween Pals Stamp Set for the tiny ‘Happy’ which I white heat embossed onto a thin strip of black.
Copic Markers Used: YG01, YG23, YG07, YG67
Thanks so much for stopping by today. The entire release is on June 10th and be sure to visit the blog tomorrow for the full reveal and bundle information!
Hi friends, Angelica here excited to show off the new Summer Surfboards stamp set. This stamp set screams summer fun! I have a couple cards to share today using this stamp set, as well as a few other PPP products.
I picked three boards to stamp onto white card stock. I used Copic markers to color them, added white gel pen highlights, then cut them out with the coordinating dies. I used the new Triangle Stencil to make the background. I sprayed the back of the stencil with iCraft Pixie Spray for a good temporary hold, and attached it to a card front panel. I masked the top and the bottom of the stencil, then ink-blended MFT Summer Splash (Blue), Tickled Pink, and Lemon Chiffon inks in a rainbow order. I stamped the sentiment from the Summer Surfboards stamp set above the triangles, I added the card panel to a card base with foam adhesive. My last step was adding the surfboards with thin foam squares.
For my next card, I mixed a few stamp sets together to make a beach scene.
I picked the palm tree and sentiment from the new Tropical Birds stamp set, and the sandcastle and boy from the Summer Friends stamp set. I also picked one surf board to use. I stamped the characters out, and used Copic markers to color them, and a white gel pen to add highlights. To give the surfboard a distressed/beachy look, I used my Colorless Blender marker towards the middle of the board to lighten the colors. I used the coordinating dies for Summer Friends,Summer Surfboards, and Tropical Birds to die-cut the images. For the card front, I trimmed a panel of white card stock with a stitched rectangle die, then used Copic markers to hand draw a quick sand bar. I ink-blended a blue sky with Summer Splash ink, then glued the palm tree to the panel. I used different sizes of foam squares to add the rest of the images and a white heat-embossed sentiment, then attached it to a card base.
I hope these cards have given you ideas about the new release that is available on June 10th. Thanks for stopping by!
