Sneak Peek: May Die Cuts

Jeanne here today and I can’t tell you how excited I am to be sharing in the sneak peeks of the Pretty Pink Posh May Release! You know I love dies and I bet you do too! I’ve got some new ones to show you today!!

The new Get Well Soon Script Die makes a big impression! For this card I inked up a background of clouds and then die cut the panel with the sentiment. What I love about this die (beyond the beautiful handwritten font) is that the three words are together on one die (they’re not meant to be cut apart) so you do an inlay technique they’re perfectly positioned with one run through your die cut machine. These three aren’t going to fall apart after you use them a few times like others I’ve had.

I chose the Playful Puppies for this get well card because no one misses me more when I’m down than my dog. She’s always ready to play or go for a walk, and if I’m under the weather there are two of us that aren’t happy!

I love making scenes with dies! The Scallop Borders 1 make a wonderful grassy yard, and the Picket Fence make it more like home!

I paired the Hugs Shaker die with the new Happy Mail stamp set. I filled it with my own mix of sequins from the store including Lemon Drop, Lemon Meringue, Sunshine Glow. If you look close, there’s another new surprise….Metallic Gold Jewels. They’re gorgeous! They look like diamonds dipped in gold!

Again I started this card with a distress inked sky. This time I cut a Stitched Borders 1 grassy hill for the Happy Mail mailbox. I stamped a sentiment on the green cardstock and attached it to the cloudy panel.

The Summer Flower sequins are the prefect embellishment for adding flowers to scenes. The size of the flowers is in proportion with the stamped images. It’s going to be a nice day!

I put yellow card stock behind the Hugs Shaker die so it looks like a sun in the blue sky! Everybody loves a little happy mail!

I hope you enjoyed today’s cards and look at some of the new dies. Join us tomorrow as we reveal the whole May 5th release!

Sneak Peek: Playful Puppies

Hello everyone! Amy here sharing a sneak peek of the new upcoming May 5th release. For my two projects today, I’m highlighting the adorable Playful Puppies stamp set and Playful Puppies coordinating dies.

To begin, I colored the stamped images with Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I created the patterned panel by stamping the two solid bone stamps with white pigment ink on A2 sized kraft card stock. After, I die-cut the panel with the frame die from Stitched Notes for the beautiful stitched detailing on the card. I stamped the sentiment with dark brown dye ink.

To finish, I foam mounted the images as shown and adhered the front panel to a top folding card base.

For the second card, I created a fun scene using the puppies. I colored the stamped images with Copic markers again and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I trimmed Smooth Bristol paper to 5″x 3.75″. I create the clouds using an acetate stencil I made using the cloud shaped die from Stitched Borders 2 and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. Once again, I stamped the sentiment with dark brown dye ink.

I die-cut natural card stock with a Picket Fence die and adhered the fence to the cloud panel. Then, I die-cut Smooth Bristol card stock with a die from Stitched Borders 4 to create the lawn the puppies are sitting on. I inked it with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. To finish, I foam mounted it to the top of the fence and adhered the puppies as shown.

I hope you enjoyed my projects; thank you for stopping by. Join us tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Sneak Peek: Butterfly Friends + Simple Sayings: Life

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here this morning with a peek at some of the newest goodies from Pretty Pink Posh! You may remember the butterflies from the Butterfly Friends set that was the free-with-purchase set for the January release. It will now be available for purchase on it’s own! I paired it up here with the new Simple Sayings: Life– a sweet little sentiment kit for this rainbow butterfly cards! I also managed to sneak on a few of the new colors of jewels that will be releasing!

Pretty Pink Posh: Butterfly Friends + Simple Sayings: Life

I played with some 3D effects for the butterflies using the coordinating dies. For this first card, I used some of the simple outline butterfly images I was going to color them, but ended up liking them clean and crisp and white so well that I left them that way. I did cover them with a sparkly coat of Nuvo clear glitter drops to help them pop a little.

I used some pretty rainbow pattern paper for the base of my card. I stamped the sentiment and butterflies on the white layer, then die cut the butterflies with the coordinating dies. I adhered the white panel to the rainbow layer, then adhered the butterflies just on the body portion, leaving the wings loose and curling them up once my adhesive dried. I finished off with a few of the Sparkling Clear Jewels.

For these next two cards I used the same technique, just changed up the colors on each one!

I stamped one of the large butterflies from the set, then die cut it with the coordinating dies. I then used the coordinating dies to cut the same butterfly again (without stamping) out of a rainbow of colored cardstock. I colored the stamped butterfly to coordinate with my layers of cardstock. I glued them all together in the centers, allowed to dry, then curled up all the wings for a SUPER fun dimensional effect! I also covered the wings of the top butterfly with sparkly clear Nuvo Drops as well.

I used Stitched Borders 1 to cut some pretty edges on a strip of pattern paper for the bottom of the cards, and stamped another of the sentiments from Simple Sayings: Life, then for these two cards added a few of the new Pearl White Jewels to finish these off.

So much fun- these rainbows make me so happy! And the sentiments and butterflies are both so darling together!

Hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have a card to share with you all using the Fly A Kite Stamp Set along with showing you how to create your own pop-up box card.

Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube
To begin my card I first started off with my images. I coloured these a while ago and just used them now for a card. I used Copic Markers to colour them in and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Once my images are ready I can begin to work on my box card.

Making these box cards are actually surprisingly easy. I first pulled a piece of blue cardstock and cut down two pieces to 5 ¼” wide and 4 ¼” tall. Out of the same blue cardstock I also cut three pieces down to 3 ½” wide and 1” tall. Once they were all cut down I could score them. For each 5 ¼” x 4 ¼” pieces I scored them at 2” and 5” on the long side, then I turned my piece 90 degrees in my scoring tool, to the short side and then scored at 2 ¼”. I repeated this step for both pieces. Then for each of the three pieces I cut, I scored each end at ¼”. So, score at ¼”, rotate 180 degrees, score at ¼” again. Once all my pieces were cut, I took them to my paper trimmer and cut down the 2” score line to the horizontal score line, and the same at the 5” score line. Then I rotated my piece 90 degrees again and cut up from the bottom to the 5” score line, cutting on the horizontal score line, just to remove the over hang. I did this to both pieces.

Now it was time to assemble the box card. I folded along all the score lines and then added a strip of adhesive on one of the flaps and adhered it to the other side of the box card. I then added strips of adhesive on each of the three long pieces and adhered one side into my card. I them removed the backers from the other side and closed the box card on top of them, this adhered both sides of the middle pieces to the inside of my box card. Then on the last flap, I added more tape and adhered that inside too. Now my box card was all ready to go.

First up I die cut down a white cardstock piece using the Stitched Borders 1 Dies and I used the little scalloped edge as a border and adhered that to the background of my box card, to make it look like white clouds. I then added strips of acetate onto the back of three of my previously stamped, coloured and die cut kites and then adhered the strings on the bottom of each too and adhered them into the middle of my card. I also adhered some clouds and a sun to the background of my card flat.

Now my images were adhered, I laid my card down flat and adhered another cloud and also stamped the sentiment ‘Let Your Dreams Soar’ in black ink onto the front of my card. At this stage my card was missing a little something so I used the same Stitched Borders 1 Dies and cut down two more small strips of white cardstock with the scalloped border and adhered those onto both side flaps of my card to finish it up completely.

I loved making this card today and I hope you enjoyed the DIY tutorial on how to make a box card without a die. Thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll catch you next time!

Fly A Kite Scene + Sale

Good morning! Heather here this morning to share another Something Old, Something New card with you – the idea is to mix together both older and newer Pretty Pink Posh products – and to show you how AMAZINGLY well all of Pretty Pink Posh’s products work together!

Today’s card is a bright and happy watercolor spring scene featuring the Fly A Kite set, which is 25% off the next 3 days!

Lots of fun layers and colors – not to mention a good sprinkle of some of the fabulous jewels!

So to start off, I did some loose and messy watercoloring to create a background – nothing terribly fancy – just blue for the sky, and green for some grass or greenery at the bottom.

While that dried, I die cut a fence from white cardstock using the Picket Fence Die.

Next, we need a little bunny to hold the kite, so I stamped, die cut, and colored with Copics a cute little bunny using Bunny Friends stamps and Bunny Friends coordinating dies.

Next, stamp, color, and die cut the kite, string, and clouds using Fly a Kite stamp set and coordinating Fly a Kite Dies!

I then arranged my stamped and die cut elements into a scene that I liked…

…then used Jennifer McGuire’s trick of applying Press and Seal over the top to pick up the whole thing and…

…turn it over to apply adhesive! I added liquid glue to the fence, then used Double Sided Foam Squares and Double Sided Foam Sticky Strips for the bunny and clouds.

Then, simply pick up again with the Press and Seal, place on the watercolor background, press in place, then peal off the Press and Seal. At this point I also needed to adhere the kite to the clouds, but that was easy peasy!

Finally, it felt like my scene just needed a little something more – so I stamped, colored, and die cut a bunch of the flowers using Bunny Friends stamps and Bunny Friends coordinating dies again. I didn’t end up using all the flowers on this project, but I wanted to make sure I had plenty – and those others are saved and will probably be used on something else down the road!

For extra dimension, I adhered the tops of the flowers and greenery with Double Sided Foam Squares, then used liquid adhesive to adhere the bottom of the stems to the background. This makes it feel as if the flowers are popping right out at you!

Finished off by adding several Spring Green Jewels and Aquamarine Jewels to the background for some sparkle.

I planned on stamping a sentiment, but left everything to dry, then forgot to add a sentiment before I finished photographing the card. I’m not sure if I will add a sentiment on here or not now – it’s kind of cute as it is, and it makes it super versatile since it could be given for any occasion. What do you think – would you add the sentiment, or leave it as is?

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!

Birthday Bunnies

Hi everyone! It’s Melody here today and I have a sweet birthday card to share with you. I just love the cute bunnies in the Bunny Friends Stamp Set. I used the set in combination with the Birthday Friends Stamp Set to put together this birthday scene.

To create the background I cut a piece of watercolor paper for the card front. Using a blending tool I blended Distress Oxide Inks in Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade, and Worn Lipstick. Next I spritzed the paper with water and splashed on white paint. Once the paper had dried I die cut the half circle directly in the card front with the larger die in the Window Frames Dies.

The stamped images are colored with Copic Markers and the highlights are added with a white gel pen. I images are die cut with the Bunny Friends Coordinating Dies and the Birthday Friends Coordinating Dies. Behind the frame I added foam tape to give dimension between the two layers. The hill is grass is cut with the Scallop Borders 2 Dies.

The sentiment is from the Everyday Greetings Stamp Set and the card is finished off with sequins from the Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

Thanks for joining me today!

Creating A Card with Die Cuts + Video

I always look forward to adding colour to my projects and I challenged myself to use a colour I rarely use. It was so worth it! It’s Justine here again for an April video tutorial. I’m looking at using dies on your cards and I have a challenge for everyone – try to step out of your comfort zone! I did it twice – using green and no stamping!

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

I used the Stacked Edges 2 die to create an interesting green background. I additionally added the Stitched Foliage leaves cut twice in both gold glitter paper and the green background I created with Distress Oxide inks. The sentiment, Hello Friend Script, has been cut with the same glitter gold paper and black cardstock. I topped off the card with a few clear droplets.

Thanks for having me again here on the blog. I look forward to bringing you more inspiration next month! If you enjoyed my video, be sure to check out my personal channel for weekly videos.

Mixing Together Sets

Hello everyone, Joni here sharing the oldie but goodie products along with some new release products as well. For this project I used the Woodland Critters, Rainy Days, and Encouraging Greetings stamp set and dies.

First, I stamped the picked images on a white cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers.

Next, I created my background using Distress Oxide. I also die-cut some green octagon border using the Stacked Edges 2 Die (which is on sale right now).
