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 the Simple 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!

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card featuring the beautiful Anemones stamp set.

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.

Hi everyone, Merry Christmas Eve! It’s Lindsay here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today with a winter themed card using the Penguin Pals Stamps and Coordinating Dies, Happy Snowman Stamps and Coordinating Dies, and Winter Wonderland Stamps.

For this card I started off with inking up a background with Distress Oxide Inks. I used Chipped Sapphire, Salty Ocean, and Tumbled Glass. I then heat embossed the snowflake images from the Winter Wonderland Stamp Set onto the ink blended background, keeping in mind what would be showing through the window. I then die cut the front of the card using the Window Frames Dies and stamped a greeting from the Caroling Critters Stamp Set.

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.

Aloha and Merry Christmas,

Lindsay

Hi everyone! It’s Lindsay here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today with a card showcasing the newly released Penguin Pals stamp set and coordinating die 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 set to 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 took out my vellum and stamped the snowflake images from the Winter Wonderland with Versamark Ink and heat embossed them with silver embossing powder. I then cut them out with the coordinating dies. Out of a piece of white cardstock, I cut out the larger oval from the Scallop Ovals die set and got to creating my scene.

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!

I started by stamping images from the Decorative Ornaments and Elegant Holly stamp sets on 80lb Neenah White paper using Memento Black Ink. I colored the images using Copic markers and cut them all using Decorative Ornaments coordinating dies and Elegant Holly coordinating dies. I also die cut the Pine Sprig Dies out of white paper and colored them using Copic markers.
