Happy Fall Turkey

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here today to share some turkey love!  I mean how stinking cute is this turkey, perfect for fall! Let’s get started!

First, I pulled out an array of orange and brown cardstock to do some die cutting with the super cute new Stitched Turkey dies. I adhered the pieces of the turkey but for the face I decided to cut out a yellow triangle for the nose and added some googley eyes. To finish the turkey I added a bit of splatter towards the bottom of the turkey body.   I set the adorable turkey aside and now it was time to work on the background.   

For my background I decided to use one of new fall stencils called Layered Leaf Lattice. It’s a beautiful stencil set and gives your background some fall goodness.  I used orange die inks to stencil, I added some splatter to the top left corner and bottom right.  I cut the stenciled background down to 5 x 3 3/4 inches.  For a pop of color I adhered the stencil panel to the same cardstock I used for the turkey.  I adhered the Turkey to panel and now it was time to work on the sentiment. 

For the sentiments I used the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set.  I heat embossed them with brown embossing powder onto white cardstock.  I die cut the long sentiment with the Sentiment Strips Dies and flagged the ends.  For the smaller sentiment I wanted the turkey to hold a sign and the Big Valentine Cupcakes dies had the perfect die.  I put the sign together and loved it!  I needed a resting place for the long sentiment and decided to use the new Fall Leaves Border.  I felt like the long sentiment still needed something,  I decided to die cut a strip of orange from the Sentiment Strips dies and I loved the way it turned out.  This card was so much to make, the turkey is so stinking adorable.  Wouldn’t this make the cutest place cards for turkey dinner and/or a great banner across a mantel!?  The possibilities are endless with this cutie, the Stitched Turkey Dies!

Thank you so much for stopping by friends and have a great day!

Mushroom Shaker Duo

Hello! It’s Lindsey here, and I am delighted to be guest designing for Pretty Pink Posh this month. It is no secret that I am a fan of dies, so I was eager to try out the new Mushroom Shaker Dies. 

These dies are larger in size, so they make a big impact on a card.  I filled the cute Mushroom Shakers with Mint Shimmer and Strawberry Shimmer Confetti. Then I created this happy little mushroom scene using a variety of mushrooms in the Pretty Pink Posh collection.  You can find them in the Fall Mug Additions Dies and the Fall Foliage Dies.

I used the Pierced Leafy Vines Plate Die to create a panel on my card base to ground the scene.  Then I added a few little wheat stalks from the Fall Basket Dies and a couple moths from the new Fall Icons stamps and coordinating dies.

I built my sentiment using the new Many Thanks Shadow Dies and the Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set.  I love cards like this because they can work for lots of occasions. 

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope leave inspired and excited to create with these fabulous new fall goodies.

Thanksgiving Turkey

Hello friends, it’s Kristie here! Fall cards are my absolute favorite to make and I quickly fell in love with Pretty Pink Posh’s fall release! I love getting an early start on holiday cards, so I decided to use the Stitched Turkey die set for a fun Thanksgiving card.

For the background, I used the Layered Leaf Lattice stencil set on some white pearlescent cardstock. It’s so fun stenciling on specialty cardstock. Adds a little extra shimmer to the card. The ink colors I used are Distress Oxide Vintage Photo and Crackling Campfire. I did let the ink dry completely so it didn’t smudge.

For a little extra detail on the background, I added 4 chevron Stacked Edges die cuts. I did use some woodgrain patterned paper for the Stacked Edges pieces.

It’s always fun to use non-traditional colors for holiday colors. I couldn’t resist adding a bit of teal and soft pink to the sweet turkey. For the back row of feathers, I used 2 different cardstock colors, teal and orange. I used the soft pink cardstock for the smaller, front row of feathers.

The sentiment Happy Thanksgiving is part of the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set. I cut it out using the Sentiment Strips die set. To help the sentiment pop, I cut out 2 sentiment banner die cut pieces, one from teal cardstock and one from dark brown cardstock. I offset them slightly creating a dark brown drop shadow.

You can watch how I made this card on YouTube. https://youtu.be/uh6ifMsrE7U

This is such a fun release and perfect for making fall cards!

Day 3: September Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE //  If you missed Day 2 CLICK HERE

Hi friends, this is Debbie on the blog today! For the new fall-bulous release today, I have the Big Fall Cupcake Die paired with the Fall Words Stencil.

I started off with my background, using Desert Storm Cardstock A2 size in a horizontal position. Placing the cardstock on a grip mat, I placed the Fall Words Stencil on top and applied Nuvo Glimmer Paste Rich Cocoa. Set to the side to dry completely.

Then I die cut out the Slice of Pie, 2 layers for each of the Sunflowers, and topping from white cardstock.  I started with ink blending on two different yellow inks to the pedals of the flower. The back pedals are with a darker yellow to give dimension to them. Then centers are also with two colors of brown, using a E44 copic pen to add dot detail to the centers. The slice of pie was colored with Copics, E35,E33, E31,E30. For the Carmel topping I used Carmel Ink from Taylored Expressions, seemed fitting. The leaves were from two shades of green cardstock and the ice cream was from a cream where I added E41 and E40 to give more detail. 

Then once the panel was dry I die cut it out with the largest Stitched Torn Rectangle Die and mat it onto the Crimson cardstock that was also used for the cake holder. Adhere it all together with liquid glue and popped up the sunflowers and slice of pie with 3D foam squares. 

Once that was finished I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Solid Foliage stamp set with Cream embossing powder. Using the Coordinating Dies to cut the sentiment out. Popping up the right side of it so it will remain level with the cupcake. Then I added Espresso Pearls to the topping and on the cake holder. 

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. We are giving away 3 $30 gift certificates to three random comments (1 winner each day) left before September 16, 2024 at 11:59 PM PST.

Day 2: September Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE 

Hi crafty friends! It’s Christina again, back to share a sweet and simple card design featuring the fun new Patterned Apples Stamp Set. I can see using this versatile set for fall themes, back to school, or even Valentine’s Day! I paired the set with my favorite thing from the latest release, the Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils, adding an unexpected white clay heart detail. Let’s get started! 

My first step was to stencil the background on kraft cardstock trimmed to 4 x 5” with white stencil paste using just the first layer of the Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils. I added a 2” piece of white cardstock to the top of the panel and trimmed it out with a thin strip of black cardstock that I had added a white heat embossed sentiment to. Then I framed everything up with a Scallop Frame that I die cut from kraft cardstock.

Next, I stamped the apple and leaf outlines with black ink on white cardstock and added the apple patterns using red ink. I colored the apple leaves and stems with alcohol ink markers and then die cut everything with the coordinating dies. Then, I attached the apples with a combination of liquid adhesive and foam squares before adding white gel pen highlights.

My last step was to add White Clay Hearts to the lattice pattern and then attach everything to a black card base slightly larger than the scallop frame.

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. We are giving away 3 $30 gift certificates to three random comments (1 winner each day) left before September 16, 2024 at 11:59 PM PST.

Hello everyone, it’s June here today and I’m sharing this fun, colorful card using some of the new products from the September release.

Even though it isn’t my usual style, I was instantly drawn to the new Solid Fall Foliage Stamp Set when I saw it. It was the first product I used from the new release because I was SO excited to play around with all the foliage pieces and experiment with different color palettes. I feel like I spent a good hour gathering all my Distress Oxides and coming up with all kinds of color combinations before settling on this magenta-purple-ochre combo.

Here’s a quick rundown of the colors I ended up going with. Every piece of foliage is made up of 2 parts, so in most cases I used 2 shades of ink. But more on that later!

I used Pink Flamingo and Picked Raspberry for the biggest leaves and the cute little mushrooms and acorns, Tattered Rose and Saltwater Taffy for the smaller leaves, Milled Lavender and Seedless Preserves for the oak leaves, Dusty Concord for the flower buds and Fossilized Amber for the remaining leaves.

Now, since I don’t usually do this type of layered stamping, I lacked quite a few shades in my collection to properly layer my images. Distress Oxides don’t really darken up an image by stamping twice like some inks do, so I had to improvise when I realized I only had 1 shade of ochre in my collection. But of course, there was an easy fix: the matching stencil! The Solid Fall Foliage Stencil is the same size as the stamps, which means that you can decide to either stamp or ink blend your leaves before cutting them out. What I did to fix my issue was use a light hand with my leaf stencil, and then stamp the stem on top with the opaque color. I should’ve done this from the start, because I love the slight ombre effect I managed to get by stenciling instead.

I really wanted to use the Many Thanks Shadow dies as my sentiment, so I cut the words out of ochre cardstock 2 times so I could stack them on top of each other for some extra dimension. I did the same for the shadow pieces, but from white cardstock instead. 

After playing around with the different foliage pieces for a while, I decided to go for a symmetrical spotlight type of layout, with an open part in the middle where my sentiment could go. I stretched that idea onto my cardbase by using a heavy hand on the outsides of my panel and leaving the inside very light. I used a combo of Pink Flamingo and Saltwater Taffy. I also splattered some Picked Raspberry ink and thinned out white acrylic paint onto my panel.

I adhered all my foliage pieces and the sentiment with 1 mm foam tape to add even more dimension. I love the way it ended up looking! I think it adds a lot of interest to the card.

Sneak Peek: September 2024 Dies

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m thrilled to be sharing with you this duo of matching autumn cards featuring brand new products from the September 2024 Release, as well as additional ones from previous years. As you may already know, mixing and matching items from different sets and different years is my favorite exercise, so I try to do it whenever I can to show you how easy it is.

New release will be available September 9th

Let’s start with the apple themed background, shall we? I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel, and started off by creating a white base using the Layered Apples stencil #1 along with white pigment ink. I really love to stencil on kraft cardstock, and every time I do, I like to make this white base first because it makes the colors you add after pop even more. I kept the stencil #1 but shifted it a little bit to the right, and applied colored oxide inks: worn lipstick, rusty hinge, fossilized amber, peeled paint and peacock feathers. And because I shifted the stencil, it created a nice white border around my colorful apples.

Next I created the mushroom themed background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel, and just like the first background, I started off by making a white base using the Layered Mushrooms stencil #1 and #2. Next I shifted the stencil #1 and colored the top of each mushroom using the same oxide inks as before, and then shifted the stencil #2 and colored the mushrooms feet using vintage photo oxide ink. And once again, by shifting the stencils, we get a cool white border around the mushrooms. Finally I used the stencil #3 along with white textured paste to add cute dots on some of the mushrooms.

Both the Apple Shaker and the Mushroom Shaker were made the same way, except for a couple of details, so here are the different steps to make the apple.1. Cut the apple frame out of colored cardstock,2. Cut a whole apple out of acetate, and another one out of pattern paper,3. Attach the acetate apple at the back of the apple frame using liquid glue,4. Still at the back of the apple frame, add foam strips directly on the acetate, all along the apple edges, following the rounded shape,5. Pour Autumn Shaker Beads on the acetate,6. Close the shaker by sticking the patterned apple to the foam strips,7. Shake, and voilà!

I repeated all those steps to make the Mushroom Shaker, except that to make the mushroom’s foot, I cut an additional mushroom out of kraft cardstock, cut the foot out, and attached it to the shaker using liquid glue.
Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, and added a little bit of depth to each element using oxide inks. Here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Big Fall Cupcake – sunflowers, acorns, leaves, mushroom • Fall Basket – apple, tiny leaf • Stitched Birds & Holiday Birds – crows • Fall Mug Additions – berry branches • Big Halloween Cupcakes & Spooky Mug Additions – pumpkins.

I white heat embossed two greetings on dark brown cardstock and cut them using the matching dies: “Fall greetings” is from Fall Bouquets, and “Happy autumn” is from Solid Fall Foliage. I attached everything on my panels, starting with the shakers using liquid glue, and then the die-cut pieces and greetings using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, 3mm glue dots, and liquid glue.

For the final details, I glued an Onyx Pearl on each crow to make the eyes, added highlights and details to the elements using a white gel pen, and glossy accents to the berries to make them shine. And that’s it!

I hope these autumn shaker cards have inspired you. Stop by tomorrow for a look at all of the new products in picture form!
