Hello Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I have clean & simple cards to share featuring the Playful Puppies stamp set. This stamp set is filled with images of cute little puppies and some fun accessories to go along with them.
Just like always, I started working only cards by stamping all of the images in copic marker friendly ink onto white paper. I love to mix and match stamp sets and today I am mixing a few Birthday sets. I used images from the Birthday Friends set – balloons, party hats and gifts and stamped some along with my puppies.
I used the following Copic marker colors for my coloring:
E79, E37, E33 and E31 to color the dark brown puppy;
E31, E11 and E00 to color light brown puppy.
B02, B00 and B00
YG13, YG01 and YG00
Y35, Y15 Y13 and Y11
There are coordinating dies available for the Playful Puppies stamp set and also there are dies for the Birthday Friends stamp set so I used those to cut my colored images out. Next, I stamped Birthday Wishes sentiment in black ink and foam mounted images on top.
I trimmed panel to 4 x 5 1/4” and adhered it onto an A2 white side folding card base. I also used a bunch of things to embellish this card and add some details. I started with a shimmer pen to add some sparkle to the gifs and balloons. Next, I added some jewels in Sea Glass andSpring Green and lastly I used my Nuvo Drops in clear and later Glossy Accents to add some dimensional details to the dots on the party hat, gifts, balloons and puppy noses. Nuvo drops will crack if you apply they over a large area, so I used glossy accents for the balloons to prevent cracking.
Happy Birthday Card
For my next project I decided to use Birthday Scene stamp set. I love Birthday banner and balloons in the background, but I wanted to switch up the critters that are holding this banner to puppies. To do that I needed to do some masking. I used masking paper and scissors and cut the part that I didn’t need masked. I only needed to be careful when cutting next the the areas where critters were holding the banner and the other areas I just cut out very loosely.
I placed my mask onto white cardstock panel and stamped the scene. Next, I stamped and colored a few more puppies and accessories to go on this card.
I decided to use different colors and make this card into a feminine one. I used: RV13, RV11, RV10 and RV00 Y35, Y15 and Y11 YG13, YG01, and YG00
I also stamped little bows using image from the Fly a Kite stamp set. I colored, cut it out and adhered onto the party hats. I used foam adhesive squares and foam mounted my images in place. Next, I trimmed my panel to 3 3/4 by 5” as my stamping was a bit off to the left and I wanted it centered on the card. I foam mounted the stamped panel onto an A2 card base and added pretty jewels in Spring Green and Watermelon, once again I used Glossy Accents to add dimensional detail to the balloons.
Best Friends Forever Card
I have one more project to share and this one features simple pattern stamping. I love to use small stamps to create my own unique patterns so I was excited to use bone images from the Playful Puppies stamp set to stamp a fun pattern for my card.
There are both solid and outline images in this stamp set so first I used the 2 solid bone images and stamped them using Khaki ink onto kraft paper creating a pattern. Next I used just one of the outline bone images and stamped it over some of the solid images in black ink offsetting it slightly. To finish this card I stamped Best Friends Forever in black ink onto white cardstock panel. This sentiment comes from the Playful Puppies stamp set and next I foam mounted the two puppies in place. This time I colored my puppies gray – one is a warm and another one is a cool gray puppy: W1, W3 and W5 C1, C3 and C5
I added a food bowl and some stamped and die cut bones to complete my scene. I also used a white pen and added some white highlights to the puppies and embellished this card using Metallic Gold Jewels.
Hi everyone, Eloise here today with a new card and video. Today I’ll be using the Koala Friends stamp set along with the Hello Shaker die to create a windowed shaker card. I’ll be altering my dies to fit my card better and also to share how to stretch your dies as well.
To begin my card today I stamped out the koala’s from Koala Friends onto some Neenah Solar White Cardstock. I then used my Copic Markers to colour them in and used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. Now that I had my die cutting machine out I took the Hello Shaker Die and ran it through my die cut machine partially. Meaning, I only ran through the top half of the die. Then, I pushed down the die a little more, making sure it sits into the grooves of the last die cut area, and ran it through again. This made sure that the die cut was longer than the square it was before. Now that the die was cut, I used an exacto knife to cut away the words from the inside, so now I’m just left with a scalloped frame.
Next up I measured how large the frame turned out to be and cut the same size rectangle out of a card base. I managed to find a rectangle die that was more or less the same size, but you can use an exacto knife and a ruler. I also did the same out of a piece of patterned paper. Once they were both cut, I added a piece of acetate to my card base and then adhered my patterned paper over top to hide the adhesive. I added another piece of acetate to the scalloped frame piece and then added a layer of foam tape around it. I then adhered my Koala images to the front of the scallop frame using foam tape as well. Then to cover the adhesive from the inside, I adhered my blank die cuts to the inside.
Now that my panels were ready, I added in some sequins and seed beads onto my card base. I removed the backers off my scalloped frame and adhered it over top. To finish up my card, I used the Bear Hugs stamp set and white heat embossed the ‘Hello Friend’ sentiment onto a thin strip of cardstock and popped it up on more foam tape.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed and got inspired. Thanks for watching and I’ll catch you all next time.
Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here this morning to share this soft and dreamy hot air balloon scene created with watercolors, vellum, and the fun Fly Away Friends Stamp Set!
I started off by using a panel of watercolor cardstock, a waterbrush, and watercolors to create a soft watercolor wash – I aimed for a look that would resemble the sky at sunset or sunrise.
While it was still damp, I added some splatters with the same colors of watercolor, and misted the areas that were a little dryer with water so that it would blend out.
I had actually die cut my image before stamping (playing in my head with the idea of using it as a silhouette, but changed my mind halfway through), so I had lined it up in the negative in my MISTI to stamp the original image. This allowed me to stamp over in the exact same place and heat emboss in white over the original image. It definitely would have been easier though to stamp, color, restamp and emboss, THEN die cut – but I thought I would share this tip in case you got things out of order like I did this time! Haha!
By now my sky background had dried sufficiently, so I decided to add some soft dreamy clouds to the scene! I used Stitched Borders 2 to die cut some panels of vellum, and layer them together at the top and bottom of the card. I held them in place with a *tiny* bit of adhesive, then took it to my sewing machine to sew all the way around the edges, thereby attaching the vellum clouds nicely and firmly.
Finally, I couldn’t decide which sentiment to use, so I pulled out several, and built my own custom sentiment! I used my MISTI again to stamp these in black ink – thanks to the texture of the watercolor paper it can be difficult to get a clear impression, so using the MISTI helped make it super easy.
I adhered the hot air balloon, tucking the bottom under the clouds on the lower edge of the card – making it look as if it is floating up through the clouds!
Finished off by adding a good sprinkling of Pearl White Jewels for a touch of sparkle – these jewels are so fun! I can’t get enough of them!
I had originally planned on putting one of the cute critters in the hot air balloon…but ended up like the scene as it was! I loved that this set would work so well for cute and fun cards – but also something completely different like this card!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!!!
Hello! This is Day 2 of a two day hop to celebrate the tenth 30 Day Coloring Challenge. Have you heard of “The Daily Marker’s 30 Day Coloring Challenge” hosted by Kathy Racoosin? Right now it’s in the middle of the challenge and it’s a great time to take a leap, jump in and get your feet wet! Don’t feel like you are jumping into the middle of the challenge I hope you will think of it as a new beginning.
The premise of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is to color something everyday even if it’s for five minutes. However feel free to jump in or out as time permits.
This Koala Friends from Pretty Pink Posh is so darn cute with the different size Koalas so I decided to create this fun upright card. Also, reached for the Birdie Friends set to add a branch, leaves, and sentiment to add to the scene.
For this card, I started out by die cutting a couple of Scallop Circles, one for the inside of the card and the other for the top of the card and shaker.
To color these Koala’s, I used the following copic colors: CO, C1, C3, C5, R11 for the belly and ears. For the branch, E37, E33, E31 and for the sentiments, I used the Zig Clean Color Brush.
Next, I die cut a large basic circle almost the same size of the Scallop Circles to create the background and use for closing the shaker from behind. Added some clouds using Salty Ocean distress ink and began to piece together the shaker by adding several sequins using the Berry Bright Mix and glued down some Silver Mini Star Confetti on top.
From there, I created the circle card base by placing the same circle onto a folded card stock and ran it through the die cutting machine leaving a little portion of the circle die not hitting the top of the card stock. This way it leaves a fold on top.
Once the card base was done, I scored the front cover halfway and glued the bottom half only to add the circle shaker on top.
To decorate the inside of the card, I used patterned paper for the center along with the second Scallop Circles. From there, I added a sentiment from the Birdie Friends set where I colored using my zig clean color brush. Also, added some foam mount under the sentiment to pop it up which helps to hold the card upright so one can place anywhere.
From there, I created another white circle card base, but used a larger circle die since I was trying to create a double card put together. Plus, I wanted to give this upright card a white border around it and add an extra area to write a message.
When it lays flat, it shows the white border around the card, but when upright, only shows the top original card.
GIVEAWAY: leave a comment on this post and one person will win all five of our brand new stamp sets!
Congratulations to Katie Baird!

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card featuring some fabulous June release products.
The new Geraniums stamp set has a lovely selection of different images, perfect for building floral clusters and scenes. I especially love the textured look of the leaves. For my card today, I coloured some images with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies.
Next, I die cut the new Hello Shaker die from gold glitter paper. I adhered this square die cut at an angle on my card base.
I placed the geranium leaves around the frame, adhering with liquid glue. I then used foam squares to add the flowers over the top. I love the look of gold and pink together. To finish my card, I added some of my favourite Pearl White jewels.

To make a shaker window, I diecut one of the inked panel usingMini Storybook 1 Dies, and simply cut out the inside bars to make a large rectangle window. I found that the cut out square from Mini Storybook 1 Dies perfectly matches with the Hello Shaker Die in size. (You could just use Hello Shaker Die only to make a window.) I adhered a piece of acetate film behind the window panel. I cut Hello Shaker DIe out of 110 Neenah White paper three times then glued them top on top to make a dimensional frame. Then I put the frame onto rectangle window I had created previously.
I heat embossed a sentiment from Everyday Greetings on black cardstock in white, then I cut it using Stitched Pieces Die. I rounded natural twine 3-4 times beneath the window, fixed it with adhesive, and then foam mounted the sentiment label onto it. Next I turned the panel upside down to fill the shaker.
Look at the beautiful mixture of sequins and seed beads just before I covered the shaker. I really love how they look together. Above all, I would strongly recommend to mix Pewter seed beads to your shaker since the neutral gray color of them balances the colors in the shaker beautifully. Finally, I covered the shaker with another inked panel then I adhered the shaker onto white card base.

I am a huge dog lover and have three beagles of my own. I did some simple copic coloring today and my goal was to color the images like my beagles. After I colored the images, I cut them with the coordinating dies.
The card front was created by ink blending distress oxide inks about ¾ of the way down, leaving the top white for contrast. I used Picked Raspberry , Cracked Pistachio, and Fossilized Amber. I finished off the blending with a microfiber towel, then used a Distress Sprayer to create splotches for added depth. I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors to create black paint splatters. Wait for your card front to dry before die cutting the shaker frame.
I used post it notes to hold the dies in place on the shaker fronts and then adhered acetate. I used one layer of foam tape to create the shaker well and filled the shaker well with my favorite shaker bits from Pretty Pink Posh:
After filling the shaker well, remove the backers on the foam tape and adhere a card front. Make sure to press down firmly so no shaker bits escape!
I stamped out sentiments from Happy Mail and Playful Puppies in Versafine. I used the Hugs Shaker die cut in white and adhered it to the acetate frame with glossy accents.
I had the inside pieces of the Window Frames die and Stitched Stars left over. I thought it would be cute to stamp “You make life fun” from the Simple Sayings: Life stamp set and use the die cut to decorate the inside of the card. I used a little red heart to embellish the remaining card.
Hello everyone, Eloise here and for today’s video I’ll be sharing another 3 Cards 1 Stamp set video, using the brand new School Friends stamp set. This set was perfect because it had a ton of images and also included 3 sentiments. I also tried to keep these cards quite simple, so I just used three small die sets; Scallop Frames, Stitched Duo 1 and Stitched Film Strip and then I also just pulled in a few colours of Distress Inks to make my backgrounds as well.
To begin my cards today, I first started off with stamping, colouring and die cutting all my images. I stamped pretty much two of everything and used a colour combo I found on Pinterest for my colour inspiration. Once they were all coloured and die cut, I could assemble my cards together.
For my first card today, I die cut two of the Stitched Film Strip from some white cardstock. Then I added foam tape to the backs and set them off to the side. For my background, I used Evergreen Bough, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio and ink blended a gradient onto some watercolour cardstock. I then flicked some water onto my background, picked it up with a paper towel and dried it off with a heat tool.
Next, I arranged all my images onto the base, figured out where I wanted the sentiment and stamped the ‘Hey There Smarty Pants’ into one of the gaps with black ink. I then adhered down my frames over top and adhered the images inside with foam tape as well and that finished off my first card.
For my second card, I pulled out the Scallop Frames and cut them twice out of some white cardstock. I then adhered some foam tape onto the backs of the frames. For my background I again went for a simple ink blended look. This time I used Lucky Clover, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron and repeated the same steps as before. I dried it off with a heat tool and adhered my frames at an angle into place.
I then took out a few images and arranged them into place as well. I adhered them down with flat adhesive. For my sentiment I used the ‘You’re An A+ In My Book’ sentiment with more black ink onto the background as well and that finished up my second card.
For my final card, I wanted to make a mini card; something that would be perfect to put into your kids lunchbox with a little note for their day, or what have you. So I took the Stitched Duo 1 and cut out two tag shapes; one from watercolour cardstock and one from plain white cardstock. I ink blended some Carved Pumpkin and Spiced Marmalade ink onto the bottom of the watercolour tag and then ran it through my Big Shot Machine with the geometric embossing folder from We R Memory Keepers. I then took the second tag, and scored the top edge with my scoring tool. I added adhesive onto the flap and adhered it to my coloured tag and that created my mini card base.
To finish up, I adhered down the remaining images with some foam tape onto the bottom and then for the sentiment, I white heat embossed the ‘Just A Note’ sentiment onto some black cardstock. I cut it down to a strip and adhered it on the right hand side of my card and that finished off the last card.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed and got inspired. I’ll catch you all next time.
Hi Crafters, Justine here and I’m back with you for another video tutorial this month! I hope you are loving the new release as much as I am! Today I wanted to create an elegant, yet easy card tutorial. You can use stamps and dies from this release or any of the fabulous Pretty Pink Posh stamps in your stash to try this out.
I started off by die cutting the Hello Shaker Die out in white cardstock. I grabbed some Himalayan Musk Embossing Powder by Wow and embossed the die cut three times. This creates a very thick, almost chipboard like embellishment. It’s a favourite technique of mine because you get a really smooth impression on the embossing powder.
I then stamped out a background using the Geraniums stamp set in black on a white card panel. To fill in the gaps, I used a little image from the School Friends set– it was the perfect filler stamp!
I glued the die cut to another die cut (off-center) in black cardstock to make it pop off the card. You could also challenge yourself to a more complex card by turning this die into a shaker card! If you enjoyed my video, be sure to check out my personal channel for weekly videos.
Next, I die cut the new 
I placed the geranium leaves around the frame, adhering with liquid glue. I then used foam squares to add the flowers over the top. I love the look of gold and pink together. To finish my card, I added some of my favourite
