Hello Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Melody here today and I am excited to give you a sneak peek at the new Pinata Party stamp set and Pinata Party coordinating dies. One of my creative goals this year is to make more birthday cards and this stamp set will get lots of use!
I started by creating my background. I cut a piece of watercolor paper to fit the card front and sponged on three colors of Oxide Distress Inks (Broken China, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn) and then spritzed with water. I let paper dry and then stamped the sentiment from the Pinata Party stamp set in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder.
I colored the piñata with Copic Markers and used a glitter pen to add a coat of glitter to the horn, mane, and tail.Using foam tape I attached twine to the piñata. I used five different colors of inks to stamp the banners.
Using the Misti Stamping Tool I randomly stamped confetti and streamers in different colors on the card front. So fun and festive! I finished off the card with jewels from the new Party Jewels Mix.
Thanks for joining us today! All the new January products will be available on January 8th.
Hi, Friends! It’s Caly here with you today sharing a card using the brand new Crocus Flowers and Simple Sayings: Courage sets!
To begin, I stamped the Crocus Flowers using a Copic-friendly ink on some white cardstock. I colored the images using Copic markers. I outlined the petal borders using the darkest purple in V09, then added flicks of FV2 from the border towards the center, blending as I go, but stopping before it reaches the center. Then I added B00 to the area to add light blue, then went between the blue and previous medium shade of purple with BV01 to blend the colors with each petal. Sometimes, I had to go back with the FV2 to add some contrast back, but it went fairly quick. On the flowers with filament, I colored flicked them with the Y08 marker first, then colored around it, leaving the yellow bright. For the foliage, I used G03 and G19.
After coloring, I die-cut the images using the coordinating Crocus Flowers dies and set them aside to work on my background. Ink-blended the card using Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar, Cracked Pistachio, and Peacock Feathers(from top to bottom). I then sprayed the panel with droplets of water. Typically, I dab it up with a napkin but by the time I got to it, it had already soaked into the paper so that works too! I also splattered the panel with white ink. After that was dry (within minutes), I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink to heat-emboss the sentiment from theSimple Sayings: Courage stamp set using with clear embossing powder.
To finish the card, I trimmed 1/8″ off each side and added the foliage and crocus flowers with a slight overhang to give the card some added interest. That’s a wrap! I hope you enjoyed this card! Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to come back for more inspiration! The release is January 8th and we’re celebrating Pretty Pink Posh’s 5th birthday starting the 9th and will have lots of inspiration for you!

I enjoy using colour palettes when making cards. Limiting yourself to a set of 3-4 colours is a fun challenge and I always love the results I get with this technique. My colours for this card are yellow, grey and pale blue, along with black for stamping.
I stamped out the images then coloured them with copic markers. I used the following colours: Y00, Y15, E55, N1, N3, and N5. I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies. Next I took a piece of white card, the same size as my card base, and used a Scallop Border Die to cut it down. I then stamped a sentiment from the Everyday Greetings stamp set.
On the card base, I added a light blend of tumbled glass distress oxide ink to the top. I then arranged my flowers and leaves along the edge of the scallop border, securing with tape. Before adding the panel to my card base, I rounded the bottom corners of both with a 1/2 inch corner chomper. I added lots of foam tape and adhered the panel to the card base.
For the finishing touch, I added some Sea Glass jewels to the center of the anemones, as well as around the sentiment and flowers. These add a bit of shine and dimension and really bring the card together.
I hope you enjoyed this card. There are lots of possibilities with these stamp sets!
I then got to stamping my two images and copic coloring them, keeping with the blue color scheme. I used B00, B02, B04 for the blue coloring and BG11, BG13, and BG 18 for the teal coloring. I used C5, C7, and C8 for the penguin. I shaded the snowman with B00 and the penguin with C1 on the white areas.
I adhered the die cut window to the ink blended background with a tape adhesive, adhered the images using foam tape, and finished off the card with some Ivory Jewels.
Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have another Christmas card to share with you all. I will be creating a scene with the Caroling Critters stamp set along with the Happy Holidays Script Die and Pine Sprig Die and they will be fitting into the scene with little added accents to them.
To start off my project, I stamped my image onto a piece of 4” x 5 ½” white cardstock. I then took some small detail scissors and cut around the top half of the image to make it into a little snow bank. I then coloured in my scene with Copic Markers.
Next, I die cut the Pine Sprigs out of some white cardstock and the Happy Holidays Script from black cardstock. I then adhered down my pine sprigs onto some scrap cardstock and coloured them in with the same green Copics I used earlier. Now that all my elements are ready, I took a Versamarker Pen and scribbled over the tops of my words and pine sprigs. I then added white embossing powder to each of the pieces and white heat embossed them. Now it looks like the snow is sitting of each of the pieces which is super cool.
Lastly, I used some Distress Inks to create a simple sky background, flicked on some water and dried it with my heat tool. I then added some white dots with a white gel pen as well for added interest. I adhered all my elements down with foam and flat adhesive and then for a last finishing touch I added on some Winter Days Confetti Mix around the background as well.
For my card idea #1 I stamped the round ornament in red Copic marker friendly ink. My idea was to color this image using my markers and next re-stamp the same image over the colored one in gold embossing powder. I used R39, R27, R24, R22, R20 as well as C7, C5, C3 and C1 markers to color the ornament and topper. These are my go-to colors for anything red and cool gray.
After gold heat embossing this image over the colored one I cut it out using a coordinating die. To pop this ornament up on my card I die cut identical ornament shape out of thin self adhesive fun foam. I decided to use this thin fun foam instead of foam squares as I wanted to pop the ornament up just a bit and also wanted to have a solid layer of foam under the ornament to prevent it from sagging.
Next, I pieced an opening in the ornament and my panel and threaded gold sting through to tie into a small beautiful bow. To create a background for my card I drew horizontal stripes first using a red marker and next using a 1⁄2” paint brush and embossing ink. This gave me a beautiful red & gold stripe background. You can stamp a background like this if you prefer, but I wanted mine to have a more hand drawn look to it, so I opted to freehand one myself. I adhered my background on an A2 white side folding card base and added my ornament panel on top. I also embellished my ornament using gold jewels.
The rest of my projects feature much simpler ways to color or skip coloring altogether. For my card idea #2 I gold heat embossed one of the ornament images in the center of a blue panel. I also die cut ornament opening in a white panel and made sure to heat emboss the ornament so that it was centered in regards to both panels. I foam mounted the white panel with the sentiment over the blue one and to color the ornament, or rather to add some sparkle to the ornament, I used my shimmer pen and added a touch of shimmer. I find this to be a much simpler and easier way to color and also one that looks absolutely gorgeous, especially on dark cardstock. I also used clear jewels and adhered a few where the ornament design allowed. Lastly, I embellished this card using a few larger jewels in gold.
Here’s another variation of this idea – I gold heat embossed a number of ornament on a panel of blue cardstock and once again colored them using a shimmer pen for a touch of sparkle. This ended up being a flat one layer card that is easy to mail. I embellished it using sparkling clear jewels in the smallest size, and added larger gold jewels scattered around the card.
For my last idea featuring this stamp set I used ink and ink blending technique to add color to my gold heat embossed ornaments. I used just one ink pad color for each ornament and simply blended it heavier on one side and lighter on the other to imitate shadows and highlights.
To create a background for this card I used wide double sided tape and white glitter and added wide glitter stripes on my card front. I also gold heat embossed a sentiment and foam mounted the ornaments on top for a touch of dimension. Lastly, I used a white pen to add some white details to the card and embellished it using Pearl White jewels.
I began by stamping images from the Angel Friends set and colouring them with my copic markers. I chose a simple colour scheme of B000, B00, and B02 for the dresses. I then cut everything out with the coordinating dies.
From a piece of white card, cut to a little smaller than my card base, I die cut the Storybook 2 die. Then on my card base, I added some tumbled glass distress oxide ink, keeping the ink heavier on the outside edges and blending out to white in the middle. This colour will show around the edge of the frame, with some lighter blue showing through the windows.
I layered my frame over the top of my card base, then added my images on top with foam squares.
To finish my card, I added some Sea Glass jewels around the sentiment banner. I also added some white and black gel pen details to the angels, and some clear glitter to their wings.
Don’t forget to pick up the Angel Friends stamp set, along with the coordinating dies. They are 25% off until December 16th. Be sure to visit us on social media to see lots more inspiration with this cute set!
I started with ink blending my background using Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks. I kept the middle the lightest as I wanted the highlight in the middle to really make my images pop. I cut that down to fit on an A2 sized card front and then got to my stamping.
I stamped the penguin images from the Penguin Pals stamp set and coordinating die set using a copic friendly ink and colored them in using copic markers. I also used the igloo from the Winter Wonderland stamp setto contribute to my scene. For the penguins I used C2, C5, and C8. For the scarf I used B00, B02, B06 as well as BG11, BG13, BG18. I used some B00 blended out with the colorless blender on the igloo to give it some dimension as well. I cut out all the images and critters with the Penguin Pals die set and Winter Wonderland die set.
I used a scrap of white card stock to create a snow drift in the background, then added in my images around that using foam tape. I adhered my vellum, heat embossed snowflakes with tiny glue dots. Finally, I stamped my sentiment from the Happy Snowman stamp set and the card was finished!
Hi Everyone, it’s Rina. I wanted to get into the holiday spirit by creating two holiday shaker cards using the new Tree Shaker Die and the Ornament Shaker Die. I thought these would be perfect to showcase the new confetti mixes in Berry Bright and Winter Days.
First I colored my images in copic markers, I am using the Decorative Ornaments and Reindeer Friends stamp sets today. Here are the Copic Markers used:
Brown – E70, E71, E74, E77, E79
Red/Pink – RV13, RV14, RV29, R27
Blue – BG000, BG02, B04
Gray – C3, C5
First I used colored cardstock in 4 ¼ x 5 ½ inches to create my card front, I placed the shaker die in the middle to create the opening. I am not using the die cuts made from the colored cardstock for this project because I will be cutting out the dies again but in silver and gold foil cardstock to create contrast.
I added the acetate (4 x 5 ¼ inches) to the back of the colored cardstock card fronts and adhered the acetate. From there, I will use foam tape to create the shaker well. I used the following sequins for the shaker bits:
Once the sequins are in, I will seal the shaker with a 4 x 5 ¼ piece of cardstock. I will adhere my gold and silver shaker die cuts to the front of the card on the acetate to finish off the shaker front. I adhered the images and embellished my card using more of the Sparkling Clear Snowflake Sequins and Mini Gold Star Confetti or Mini Silver Star Confetti. Adhere the shaker mechanism to your card base and finish off with a glitter brush pen.
Hi Everyone, it’s
