Sneak Peek: Fall Borders + Thanksgiving Scene

Hi Friends! It is Melody here on the blog today and I am going to give you a sneak peek at the new Fall Borders Stamp Set and the Thanksgiving Scene Stamp Set being released on August 20th. I always am a little extra excited for the Fall Release. It kicks off the start of creating for the holidays!

Here’s a look at my first project. I stamped the Thanksgiving Scene Stamp Set in a dark brown pigment ink and colored the with my Copic Markers. I used a blending brush to add a pale yellow ink to the background.

There are three different border stamps in the Fall Borders Stamp Set. I cut a piece of Kraft cardstock to fit the card front and stamped the leaves borderat the top and bottom of the card front. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. Then I colored the leaves in a variety of fall colors. Around the edges of the card front I sponged on Distress Ink in Brushed Corduroy.

Next I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the Thanksgiving Scene Stamp Set on a strip of deep red cardstock and added a strip of gold cardstock at the top and bottom of the scene.

On my second card I used the Fall Borders Stamp Set in a couple of different ways. First I used the Fall foliage border to create the background pattern, stamping dark green ink on dark green cardstock. The I stamped the border again on a strip white cardstock, colored with Copic Markers, and sponged Antique Linen Distress Ink on the edges. Then I die cut the larger of the window in the Window Frames Dies directly into the card front.

To create the scene in the window I used the previously released Autumn Wreath Stamp Set and the Pumpkin Patch Critters Stamp Set and their coordinating dies. I love how these sets coordinate so well with the new stamp sets! I finished off the card with a few Espresso Jewels.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope I have inspired you to start thinking about creating for Fall!

Sneak Peek: Bear Friends

Hi, everyone! Marge here and I’m so excited to share sneak peek cards for the new August Release from Pretty Pink Posh, today. I’m going to showcase two cards featuring Bear Friends Set from the new release.

I started by stamping and coloring Bear Friends Set using Copic Markers and cut them all using Bear Friends Coordinating Dies. As you can see in the picture below, there are 10 images in the set including four pieces of adorable bears, two tiny leaves, honey, grass, a tree stump, and a butterfly. Aren’t they really cute? I had great fun coloring them.

In order to make a background for the bears, I decided to create a sky with clouds using Stitched Borders 2 Dies.I had once made a cloudy border stencil out of acetate film by diecutting it with Stitched Borders 2 Dies, which I had been keeping for reuse. Using my DIY Stencil and some dye inks, I made an ink-blended background as shown below. For the hill, I simply cut another piece of acetate film in a negative hill shape by freehand and used it as a stencil.

Once I finished my panel, the next steps were very easy. I just adhered my colored images to create a scene using Glue Dots and foam tapes. I also adhered several images from Woodland Critters, Pumpkin Patch Critters, and Autumn Wreath Set to make the scene into an autumn one. Next, I added white accents to the images using a 10mm ball white gel pen.

A sentiment from the Bear Friends Set was heat embossed in white on a red tag mad with Stitched Labels 1 Dies, which was adhered on the left upper corner, and then I embellished my card using Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.

My second project for today is a shaker card using the new pumpkin-shaped Grateful Shaker Die.

I started with Autumn Leaves Stencil, which is also part of the new release to make an autumn scene.In detail, I ink blended a piece of A2 sized Bristol paper using the dye inks shown below, then I placed Autumn Leaves Stencil onto it and inked through the stencil again to create a tone-on-tone look. I made another panel with lighter colors to be used in the shaker background.

Next, I diecut the panel with Grateful Shaker Die and assembled a shaker filled with various sequins: 6mm Metallic Gold, 4mm Metallic Gold, 6mm Mossy Green, 4mm Mossy Green,6mm Marigold, 4mm Marigold, 6mm Espresso, 4mm Espresso, Tangerine, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads, Spring Green Seed Beads, and Sparkling Clear Seed Beads.

I diecut Grateful Shaker Die two times and glued them together for a dimensional look. The top layer was colored slightly using Copic Markers.I adhered images from Bear Friends Set and Pumpkin Patch Critters Set around the shaker, adhered the shaker onto a card base and finished it off.

Thanks for reading today’s post. I hope you were inspired by our new release. Please come back tomorrow for a whole new sneak peek.

Sneak Peek: Boo

Hello, Gemma here with a sneak peek to share with you all. I’m using the new Boo set, which is so much fun for Halloween. I made two cards to show how easy it is to get very different looks with this set.

For my first card, I started with the background. I inked up two panels of white card with distress oxide inks in cracked pistachio, peacock feathers and black soot.

On one of these panels, I used the new Spider Web stencil with embossing ink, then heat embossed the pattern with a clear glitter embossing powder.

On the other panel, I stamped the larger ‘Boo’ from the set and embossed it with white embossing powder. I then used the coordinating die to cut the letters out, keeping all the pieces.

I layered the spider web panel onto my card base with foam tape, then adhered the stamped embossed letters from the other panel in the spaces. I set these back for dimension, and popped up the inside letter pieces (from the spider web panel) with foam tape.

For my second card, I’m using the die cut spider web letters from my first card to create a very different look.

I used distress oxides for my background, this time choosing picked raspberry, wilted violet, blueprint sketch and chipped sapphire. Halloween colours are so much fun! I flicked the panel with water to add lots of detail.

I white heat embossed a sentiment from the Boo stamp set at the bottom of the card, then used foam tape to adhere the Boo die cut letters. I love the impact of these large letters across the card.

The Boo stamp set has lots of fun Halloween images. I stamped and copic coloured them, choosing mostly blue, pink and purple colours to match my background.

I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out, then placed them around my card, adhering with foam tape. I love to add the hat to one of the letters.

I hope you enjoyed these Halloween cards- there are so many fun uses for this set. Join us tomorrow for another sneak peek of the August 20th release!

Sneak Peek: Sunflowers

Hi friends, Angelica here, and I am so excited to sharing two cards today using products from Pretty Pink Posh’s August 20th Release. You’re going to love the new stamps, dies, stencils, and vibrant new jewels!

Today I am showcasing the new Sunflowers Stamp Set. I stamped the images onto white card stock, and colored them with the following Copic Markers: Flowers- Y13, Y15, V91, E47,E44, E43, E42; Leaves- YG61, YG63, YG67.

For the background, I used a blender brush to blend Kraft ink over the new Wafers Stencil. I moved the stencil 4 times for this pattern. I trimmed the panel down to 4×5.25, and attached it to a card base with foam adhesive. I used the largest Stitched Hexagon Die to die-cut white card stock. I adhered it to the card, then added the sunflower and leaves with foam adhesive. I added a gold heat-embossed sentiment from the new Bear Friends Stamp Set to finish the card.

I used the rest of the floral images on the next card.

On the white card stock I had die-cut the hexagon from, I blended light green ink over the new Autumn Leaves Stencil. I die cut a smaller hexagon window from Neenah Desert Storm card stock, then attached the stenciled white frame with foam adhesive . I blended the same green ink onto the front of a card base, then stamped a sentiment from the Everyday Greetings stamp set. I attached the card front to the base with foam adhesive, then added the flowers. I finished the card with a few jewels from the Citrus Jewels Mix.

I hope I have given you ideas for the new Sunflowers stamp set. Join us tomorrow for another sneak peek!

2019 Mega Sponsor Fall Blog Hop Begins Today!

Hello, Gemma here today and we are excited to be part of an exciting event. We have partnered with 13 other stamp and paper craft companies to do a special blog hop and will be giving away 15 prizes to 15 lucky winners!

Today’s card is using the fabulous Summer Surfboards set. This card just makes me want to be by the seaside on a summers day. I began by adding some colour to my card base with distress oxide inks. I masked off areas of the card to create sky, sea and sand. Here are the colours I used:

Sky: tattered rose, picked raspberry and dried marigold
Sea: tumbled glass and peacock feathers
Sand: tattered rose

By using a light hand with the tattered rose distress oxide ink, it adds a lovely warm glow to the sand, reflecting the colour in the sky. For the sea, I added some white gel pen details for surf and waves, smudging with my fingers to soften.

Next, I coloured two of the Summer Surfboards with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I used foam tape to adhere them to my card base,

The sentiment is from the Tropical Birds stamp set, and I added some watermelon, cornflower, and caribbean blue jewels around it to finish.

Tutorial: Toucan Aloha Shaker

Rina here with a card using the fun Aloha Shaker. I absolutely enjoy using these shaker dies from Pretty Pink Posh, they make shaker card making a breeze!

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

Please watch my video on a step by step tutorial on how I made this card. I used a different method this time. I made a standalone shaker and then adhered it to my card base. It makes a really big impact because of its dimension.

I used the Tropical Toucans stamp set and its one of my favorite stamps sets from this release. I love the small set that makes a big impact with the variety of birds and the awesome floral branch.

For the shaker bits, I’ve used the new Luau Jewels, it is a gorgeous mix of blues, greens and fuchsias. This color combination is the perfect combination for a fun tropical card. I also added gold mini stars and the sparkling clear stars to top off the shaker mix.

I hope you try out this fun shaker card and enjoy your summer so far!

3 Cards Using Stencil Techniques

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I’m continuing on with the Stencils Video that was posted a little while ago. I shared 12 ways to use the newly released stencils using different mediums and techniques and in today’s video I’m using four of my favourite backgrounds that I created to make three cards.

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

I started off with picking out the four backgrounds. I used the embossing paste and dry embossing backgrounds together using the Graduation Stencil, the water-coloured leaves background using the Leaves Stencil and also the bleached background using the Wide Stripes Stencil. I used various stamps from different releases to help decorate each card. Once I knew what stamp sets I was using, I stamped out my images, coloured them in with Copic Markers and cut them all out.

Pretty Pink Posh: 3 Cards Using Stencil Techniques

Copic Markers Used: Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19 / R14, R24, R27, R89 / N2, N4, N6, N8 / 0 / W00, W0, W1 / BV01, BV02, BV04, BV08 / YG01, YG23, YG17, YG67 / RV21, RV23, RV25, RV29 / B000, B00, B01 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / BG10, BG11, BG34, BG45 / E30, E31, E33, E34 / E000, E00, E21, E02 / B93, B95, B97, B99 / E81, E84, E87, E89

For my first card I used the embossing paste and dry embossed background. I also used the Congrats Grad Stamp Set for the images and sentiment. I stamped them out, coloured them in and then cut them out. I then cut down the dry embossed background to a thinner strip and adhered it onto my embossing paste background using foam tape. I then stamped the ‘Congrats Grad’ sentiment into the centre and stamped a few yellow stars around it as well. I added foam tape onto the back of the hats and scroll and adhered them into place. I lastly adhered the panel onto a white card base.

For my second card, I used the water-coloured leaves background. I used the Mother’s Day Stamp Set stamped and coloured in a few of the images, I then cut them out. I added foam tape onto the backs and adhered them into place on my card. I then used the Elephant Friends Stamp Set and stamped the ‘Big Hugs’ sentiment into place. I tied a small hemp cord bow onto the vase to give a little extra texture. I added a green strip of cardstock onto the left-hand side and adhered the entire panel onto a card base.

For my last card I used the bleached yellow sunray background. I used some images from Tropical Birds, Summer Friends and Summer Surfboards stamp sets, I stamped out some images and coloured them in. Once they were coloured, I cut them out. For my background as well as the bleached background, I used the Stacked Edges 1 Die and used the scallop one to cut a wave border on a blue piece of cardstock.

I then used the Stitched Borders 1 Die and used the curved one to cut from some brown cardstock. I added adhesive onto the backs of both of the pieces and adhered them down onto the sunray background. I then added foam tape onto the backs of the images and adhered them down into place. For my sentiment I used the ‘Sending You Sunshine’ from Summer Friends and stamped it in black ink on the top of my card.

That finished up all three of my cards today, using four of the stenciled backgrounds I made in a previous video. Thank you so much for stopping by today and I’ll catch you all next time.

Tutorial: Creating A Tropical Background

Hello! Lindsay here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today. I’m going to be sharing a card using the Tropical Toucans Stamp Set, Tropical Toucans Coordinating Dies, Aloha Shaker Die, and Tropical Leaves Stencil.

Pretty Pink Posh: Creating A Tropical Background

To begin, I cut a piece of smooth cardstock to 4” by 5 ½” to fit into the Gina K Wreath Builder 4” template. I watched a video by Jennifer McGuire on how to use the wreath builder template with stencils and I knew ALL of the PPP stencils would be so great for the technique! Check out her video here for even more details and amazing examples.

To set up the wreath builder and stencil, I taped down the wreath builder onto my craft mat. I added the stencil off to the side, taping the top of the stencil down to create a hinge in order to be able to move the cardstock around freely in between rotations. I started with the top part of the cardstock lined up as pictured, that is the edge that will always stay in the stencil as you rotate around to create the pattern. I then rotated the cardstock around in the wreath builder, changing up the ink blending colors as I went between Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover, and Twisted Citron.

After I was done, I added in some individual leaves where I felt I needed a bit more color and ended up with this as the background.

With the background complete, I started on my images from the Tropical Toucans Stamp Set and stamped them with a copic friendly ink and got to coloring with my copics. I added white details with a gel pen for a little pop.

For the sentiment I heat embossed the sentiment on matching green paper and paired it with a black die cut Aloha Shaker Die. I then arranged all of my die cuts around the white aspect of my background to finish up the card.

I hope you enjoyed this card and got some more ideas for how to use all the amazing stencils that PPP has to offer!
