Berries & Butterflies

Hello everyone, it’s June here! Today I’m sharing a card featuring some old and some newer spring products.

If you know me, you know I love my strawberry themed cards. So I was beyond excited to revisit one of my favorite stamp sets after using so many of the newer products lately.

Pretty Pink Posh: Berries & Butterflies

I stamped the strawberries and the box from Fresh Berries in black ink, and used a brown ink for the leaves and the bow. I love combining inks to get a softer look on some images. I colored them in using my Copic Markers.

I hadn’t used the Butterfly Cover Plate Die from the newest release yet even though it was one of the products I was most excited for, so I thought now was the time to finally put it to its use. Butterflies and strawberries might not make perfect sense, but I think it works! I cut it out of some pastel pink cardstock because I didn’t think it needed a fancy ink blended background this time. To add some more detail however, I cut out a circle from the Eyelet Circle Dies to back my scene onto.

I turned my butterfly panel into a shaker, of course, and I added a mix of different shaker bits to bring back the red and green of the strawberries. I used the Valentine Hearts Clay Confetti and some white and green pieces from the St. Patrick’s Day Clay Confetti

To finish off my card, I stamped the ‘thank you’ and ‘berry much’ sentiments from the Fresh Berries set onto some brown cardstock and embossed them using white powder. I cut out the scripted sentiment using its matching die and cut the rest of the sentiment into a strip.

I adhered my berries and sentiment onto my card using foam tape for some added dimension and tadaa, the card is done!

I hope to see you again later this month with a new card, happy crafting! 👋🏻

Floral Birthday Squares Card Duo

Hello Everyone! It is Zsofi here today on the Pretty Pink Posh Blog with a fun floral card set featuring the new release. I love card designs which are versatile and easy to adapt to any occasion and can be re-made in different colours. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Floral Birthday Squares Card Duo

First I die cut the stitched flower from the Stacked Squares die set from a bunch of cardstock scrap. I used 2 shades in each colour family: pink and teal (and now I wish if only I had made purple and yellow too).

Pretty Pink Posh: Floral Birthday Squares Card Duo

Then I die cut the scalloped squares from white cardstock and the smaller stitched squares from kraft. I love that the dies are connected so I got 3 in  one go. I needed 6 of them for one design, I simply layered them on top of each other and added a flower in the middle of each.

Next I chose matching patterned papers for each colour from Doodlebug. I used more graphic designs but you can choose whatever your heart desires. I cut 4,25*5,5 inches card fronts and adhered them to A2 sized note cards. I mounted the decorative floral panes with 3D foam squares.

For the sentiments I white heat embossed a line from the Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set on thin strips of black cardstock and simply glued them in between the two rows of flowers.

As a finishing touch I used Marshmallow pearls for the flower centers to make them festive.

I wish you liked my card set and got inspired. This design is easy to recreate for any occasion and in any colour.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon,

Celebrate Graduation Shaker

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. As we step into the season of graduations, from the adorable ceremonies of pre-K to the monumental milestones of high school and college, many of us will be celebrating the achievements of our family and friends. Today, I’m excited to share a graduation card that I made using products the latest release.

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

For my card, I used the color scheme of green and gold because those are my son’s college colors. Using the colors of the graduate’s school in the card is a great way to personalize the card.

I used the Graduation Cap Shaker die set as the focal point and added the Pretty Pink Posh Lucky Day Shaker Beads to the inside of the cap.

For the background of my card, I used the Layered Graduation Stencils. I inked the stencil with the following inks:

Catherine Pooler Ink, Wintergreen
Catherine Pooler Ink, In the Park
Scrapbook.com Ink, Metallic Gold

I cut the stenciled background down to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ so that it would fit on an A2 size card.

I used the graduation certificate from the Graduation Mug Additions and I used the Large Celebrate Shadow die set for the sentiment.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great day!

Spring Baby Rattle

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back with an adorable baby card that combines some “older” products with the new Baby Rattle Shaker die set

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Baby Rattle

I started my card by making my card panel with the Layered Floral Vines stencil set and dye ink. This is a three pack of stencils that layer together to create a beautiful background. I love the sweet design and I think it’s perfect for baby cards! 

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Baby Rattle

Next, I used the Baby Rattle Shaker die set and Spring Foliage dies to die cut my images from white cardstock. I added ink to the individual pieces with finger daubers and then assembled the items. I love how the baby rattle and florals compliment each other, so sweet. I then used the Sentiment Strips: Occasions stamp set and the Sentiment Strips dies for my sentiment. Lastly, I attached my images to my card panel with foam adhesive to finish my card.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. I will be back soon to share another project with you all.

Polka Dot Baby Onesies

Hello, Gemma here today to share a colourful card with the new Baby Mug Additions set.

I began by die cutting the onesie die, from the Baby Mug Additions set, from a rainbow of pastel polka dot patterned paper. I love these softer colours for a baby card.

I also die cut some white card layers, adding two behind each patterned paper onesie for dimension.

Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Baby Animals stamp set in the centre of a 5.25” square card base. The large ‘baby’ sentiment has a coordinating die, which I didn’t use on this card, but I love to have that option.

I arranged the onesies around the sentiment, adhering them with liquid glue, then trimming away anything overhanging the card base.

At this point, I decided I needed something extra to fill a space above the sentiment. I picked out the small heart die from the Baby Mug Additions set, die cutting from pink card and adhering on the card to finish.

I hope that this card inspired you to bring out your patterned paper for your baby cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Easy Grid Cards w/ Dies + Video

Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here with a super easy grid card design using the new Big Celebration Cupcake die set!

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

I absolutely adore cards that use a grid pattern of die cuts or stamped images but I didn’t really think it was something I could do because I hate to measure and I’m just not very precise, LOL!

Pretty Pink Posh: Easy Grid Cards w/ Dies + Video

Here are the Distress Oxide colors I used:

  • strawberries: Saltwater Taffy, Abandoned Coral & Lumberjack Plaid
  • leaves: Cracked Pistachio & Twisted Citron
  • blueberries: Shaded Lilac & Blueprint Sketch
  • ants: Black Soot
Pretty Pink Posh: Easy Grid Cards w/ Dies + Video

BUT I’ve found that if I’m intentionally a little crooked here & there and add a few extras, I can make a really easy grid that feels precise enough! Add in a little sentiment from the Floral Hearts and Build A Cupcake sets and these cards were finished.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Little One Card Duo

Hi friends! It’s Zsofi here today on the Pretty Pink Posh blog and I am so happy to share a project I made mixing some of the brand new products for welcoming babies on this world.

Pretty Pink Posh: Hello Little One Card Duo

First I used the Layered Onesies stencil set on Bristol Smooth cardstock with Distress Oxide inks. For the first layer I used Kitch Flamingo / Picked Raspberry for the pink and Tumbled Glass / Salty Ocean for the blue. I was going for an ombre look, a bit lighter on the bottom and darker on the top.

Pretty Pink Posh: Hello Little One Card Duo

For the patterns (Layer B) I used the same inks just with heavier hand and before removing the stencil, I added a gloss glitter gel (Moda Scrap). I set it aside to dry completely. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Hello Little One Card Duo

For the focal panels, I die cut a few stitched hearts and stars from coloured cardstock scraps using the Baby Mug Additions and Stacked Squares die sets. Those little elements are a perfect touch instead of a coloured image.

Pretty Pink Posh: Hello Little One Card Duo

I stamped a sentiment from the Baby Basics stamp set on the bottom of a 2*2 inches white square and adhered the die cuts. I used a new Eyelet Squares die to give them a colourful mat.

Pretty Pink Posh: Hello Little One Card Duo

I like to give a frame to my cards, so I cut a tiny bit off the stenciled backgrounds and gave them a mat too. I popped up the focal panels with 3D foam tape for a bit of dimension and my cards were ready. Look at the shimmery shine from the glitter paste, isn’t it gorgeous?

Pretty Pink Posh: Hello Little One Card Duo

I hope you liked my card set and got inspired to make a couple of baby greetings like this. I cannot wait to try these in green, orange, purple and yellow too!

Patriotic Celebration Cupcake

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today! I’m so happy to share with you this bright and bold 4th of July card showcasing the amazing Big Celebration Cupcake die set. I usually don’t make many of those cards when that time of the year comes, so I decided to go for a whole traditional red, white and blue color palette, I added holographic and sparkling details, and had the most fun!

Pretty Pink Posh: Patriotic Celebration Cupcake

I started off by cutting a Stitched Torn Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and colored it using three shades of blue oxide inks. I first applied tumbled glass right in the center of my panel, next I added salty ocean on the edges and blended it into the tumbled glass section, and I added a little bit of prize ribbon on the edges that I blended into the salty ocean section. I splattered water on my panel, and dried it using a paper towel. I also mixed some prize ribbon oxide ink with water, used a small brush to add more splatters on my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. And finally I used the starry stencil from the Spooky Sky stencil pack along with white stenciling paste to add an extra USA touch to my panel.

Pretty Pink Posh: Patriotic Celebration Cupcake

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock. As I was saying, I used a red, white and blue color palette to totally embrace this 4th of July theme, and added holographic details on the fireworks and rockets’ tails. And for some variation, I brought some light blue accents with the banners and stars on the cupcake wrapper. I used most of the Big Celebration Cupcake dies, as well as the cake, banner and “Celebrate” dies from Big Birthday Cupcake.

Pretty Pink Posh: Patriotic Celebration Cupcake

I assembled the fireworks and rockets using liquid glue, and attached everything on my panel using 1mm and 2 foam squares. Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches red and white stripe pattern paper, attached it to a white card base, and then stuck my cupcake panel on top using liquid glue again. As always I added highlights and details to my die-cut pieces using a white gel pen, and next added the last final details: a bunch of Iridescent Mini Star Confetti all around the cupcake, sprinkles on the whipped cream from the Bright Rainbow Clay Confetti pack, and white blizzard nuvo drops on the fireworks and rockets’ stars.

Pretty Pink Posh: Patriotic Celebration Cupcake

And that’s it! Oh that was fun! Love how it turned out and how bright it is! I hope that you like it and that it has inspired you to create your own! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Baby Onesie Shaker + Video

Hi friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today sharing a shaker card I made using the Onesie Shaker dies.

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

For the background of my card, I used the Layered Onesies Stencils. I inked the stencils with Catherine Pooler inks in the following colors: Chiffon, It’s a Girl, Wintergreen, and Oh Boy. 

The focal point of this card is the baby onesie. I used the Onesie Shaker dies to make the onesie into a shaker. This die set can also be used to make a onesie that is not a shaker — it’s simply up to you! Be sure to watch my video to see how I put the shaker together. 

I die cut the shapes with white cardstock and inked them up with the same ink colors I used in the Layered Onesies Stencils. I added the new Spring Breeze shaker beads inside the shaker. I love how the color of the beads match so well with the ink colors I chose.

For the sentiment, I used one from the Sentiment Strips: Occasions stamp set and die cut it with the Sentiment Stripes dies. I trimmed the stenciled background to fit inside of the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die and added it to an A2 size card base.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Have a great day!
Lisa Mears
