Spring Flower Garden

Hello! Shannon here today! I have a fun card to share with you today featuring the new Build a Bloom stamp set and coordinating dies.

I started off with an A2 size of watercolor card stock and used a light blue Zig real brush water color marker and a water brush to make my sky background. I stamped my images from the Build a Bloom stamp set on a separate piece of white card stock , colored in with Copic markers and cut out using the coordinating dies.

I decided I wanted to create a little scene with these pretty flowers so I thought the Picket Fence die was the perfect set up for that. I cut the fence out of Neenah desert storm card stock and adhered to the bottom of my card panel. I didn’t put any adhesive closer to the top of the fence so that I could slide my flowers under.

I adhered my flowers on my scene sliding the stems under the fence. I added some interest on the flowers with a white gel pen and to finish off my card I stamped my sentiment from the new Thoughtful Greetings stamp set.

That’s it for me today! Hope you enjoyed and are enjoying the new release as much as I am. Have a lovely day!!

Distress Oxide Inks + Giveaway

Hi there! Laura Bassen here and today I have a couple of fun projects to share using the Distress Oxide Inks along with some Pretty Pink Posh products.

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

I had so much fun experimenting with the Distress Oxide inks using some of my favorite techniques. Below is a few backgrounds comparing the regular Distress Inks to the Oxide Inks. The top two were simple ink blended backgrounds with flicks of water using Wilted Violet, Broken China, Cracked Pistachio & Fossilized Amber. The Oxide Ink panels are on the right and the regular Distress Inked panels are on the left. The bottom two panels were created using one of my favorite techniques “ink smooshing”. I used Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade & Fossilized Amber. You can see that the results are slightly different. Not a huge difference, but there is a difference.

Then I used the Oxide Ink backgrounds to create a couple of projects. This first card features the Bee Friends stamp set along with the coordinating dies.

I used the arch die from the Stitched Duo 3 dies & the rectangle die from the Stitched Notes dies to create a shaker card. I filled the shaker with Sparkling Clear, Bermuda Blue, Peridot Mist, Blue Lagoon, and Ocean Spray sequins.

This next card features the adorable Friends Forever stamp set with coordinating dies.

I simply colored the images with Copics and popped them up over the “ink smooshed” background and added a few Sparkling Clear sequins to finish it off.

Happy Bee Friends

Hello Pretty Pink Posh friends! Shannon here, so happy to join you today!

I have a fun shaker card to share with you today featuring some lovely sequins, confetti and seed beads along with the Bee Friends stamp set and coordinating dies.

Okay, so I promise creating the card was not nearly as complicated as I make it sound with my explanation! I started with an A2 size piece of white card stock and die cut the panel with the wavy scallop die from the Scallop Border Dies and die cut a thin piece of white card stock with the straight scallop border from the same die set.

Now I want to adhere these pieces together to make it my shaker window. I did this by laying both pieces over an A2 card base so that I knew exactly the spacing needed before I added strips of card stock to connect the 2 pieces together. I cut two thin strips of paper and adhered one on the top and one on the bottom to create my shaker window area.

I then added acetate and fun foam to the back and filled it up with all my shaker pieces. I used Daffodil seed beads, Hydrangea seed beads, Lilac seed beads, Petunia seed beads, Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix and Gold Mini Circle Confetti.

Onto creating my scene, I die cut some green card stock with the Scallop Border die to create my grass. I then stamped all my images on a separate piece of white cardstock, colored with Copic markers and cut out with the coordinating dies.

I hope you enjoyed, I had fun creating it and love those bees flying over those pretty flowers. Thank you so much for joining me today!

Sneak Peek: Woodland Critters

Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I wanted to share a quick card using the Woodland Critters set (releases on May 1st) as well as a fun way to add details to colored images using beads.

Woodland Critters stamp set features a number of cute forest animals and a few additional images such as mushrooms and flowers. One of the critters, the hedgehog, is mirrored – there are two identical images facing each other and you can use those for spinner cards – you can have a critter on the front and back of your spinner or just have two hedgehogs looking at each other for a cute love or friendship card.

This stamp set works really well with an older Camping Friends set – many images from both of these complement each other and let you create fun scenes with woodland critters.

Since I love to stamp my own patterns I wanted to show you how you can use critters and create a partial stamped pattern for a simple card.

Watch my video tutorial below to learn how I made this card.

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

I used Copic markers to color my stamping and I went with:

YG99, YG95 and YG93 to color grass, bird’s wing and butterflies;
E79, E37, E33 and E31 to color bear, deer and hedgehogs;
RV29, R24 and R22 to color mushrooms and bird’s belly;
W3, W5 and a colorless blender marker to color bunnies.

After my coloring was done I foam mounted my colored panel onto an A2 top folding card base made out of white cardstock and embellished my card using beads. I wanted my hedgehogs to carry something on theirs backs, but I didn’t want to add any additional stamped and colored images (you can add mushrooms, apples and even leaves to their backs), I decided I would add beads in red, green and cream colors.

I also added several sparkling clear sequins in different sizes and tied a natural twine bow at the top of my card.

We hope you’ve been enjoying all the sneak peeks of the new sets. Join us tomorrow as we reveal all of the new products that will be available on May 1st.

Sneak Peek: Bee Friends

Hello Pretty Pink Posh Friends! Suzy here and today I get to show you one of the soon to be released stamp sets called Bee Friends. This was the stamp set that came free with an $80 purchase during the last release in March, so you’ve probably seen a few projects made with this darling stamp and die set. During this latest release, it is now up for sale! Today I have three projects to share with you featuring Bee Friends.

If you look close, there are some other sneak peeks on this image as well – three new stand alone die sets: Scallop Hexagon Dies, Scallop Circle Tags Dies, and Scallop Borders 2 Dies. Paulina always knows how to create dies that are irresistible and different than anything else on the market!

This shaker card was made using the new Scallop Hexagon Dies. I die-cut the medium sized hexagon out of the top half of watercolor paper. I painted the front of the card with a yellow and orange watercolor wash. I used foam tape to create a shaker card and filled the opening with the new Mini Sparkling Clear Flower Sequins.

I stamped the images on white cardstock with black ink and colored them all in with Copic markers. I attached them to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment on the bottom of the card with Versamark Ink and embossed it with white embossing powder. Last, I added some more of the Mini Sparkling Clear Flower Sequins around the flowers and some 4mm and 6mm Marigold Sequins around the Hexagon.

This card is made using the new Scallop Borders 2 Dies. I die-cut a stitched rectangle out of watercolor paper and then used a border die along one edge. I stamped and embossed all of the heart images in the stamp set with white embossing powder randomly over this piece. I then water colored it with light blue watercolor. I layered it over a piece of patterned paper that shows along the bottom edge.

I stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink and embossed it with blue embossing powder. I cut around the edges and attached it to the front of the card. I then stamped all of the other stamped images on white cardstock with black ink and colored them in with Copic markers. I attached them to the front of the card around the sentiment.

I used the new Scallop Circle Tags Dies for this little gift tag. Wouldn’t this be so cute tied to a plant as a gift? I die-cut two tags out of watercolor paper and I painted one of them with blue paint. I die-cut the opening piece out of the center of this one and attached it to the unpainted tag. This gave me white under the opening and also made the tag thicker.

Next I stamped a sentiment from the Everyday Greetings stamp set in the opening. I stamped all of the images on white cardstock with black ink and colored them in with Copic markers. I layered the flowers around the opening and added a bee on top of the opening. I finished it with some of the new Mini Sparkling Clear Flower Sequins.

Thank you so much for visiting the Pretty Pink Posh blog today! I hope you enjoyed these projects with the new Bee Friends stamp set. I can’t wait for you to see all of the new stamps and dies being released – they are some of my favorite PPP products ever! Have a great week!

Sneak Peek: Build A Bloom + Thoughtful Greetings

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here this morning – to show off some of the gorgeous new product coming very soon! I used a couple new stamp sets and dies, as well as some of the new embellishments for my card today!

I used the beautiful new Build A Bloom stamp set and coordinating dies to create the floral clusters on my card, stamping various layers and adding some black for bold contrast with the soft colors.

Pretty Pink Posh: Sneak Peek Build A Bloom + Thoughtful Greetings

The sentiment is from the beautiful Thoughtful Greetings Stamp Set – you are going to LOVE these so much! I used two sentiments together for my card.

Another favorite of mine is the new Scallop Borders 2 Dies – I couldn’t pick which one I wanted to use on my card – so I used ALL three of them! I also added a few little flowers from the new Hydrangea Flowers Sequin Mix, picking out just the white flowers to coordinate with my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Join us tomorrow for another look at a new set from our May release!

Sneak Peek: Happy Owls

Hello Everyone, Joni here sharing with you one of the upcoming mini stamp set called Happy Owls that will be available on May 1st.

To begin my card I first distressed my white cardstock panel using Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn and Peacock Feathers. Then, I die-cut the bottom of the panel using the new Scallop Borders 2.

Next, I stamped the images from a white cardstock and used the new Happy Owls coordinating dies to die-cut the images.

Then, I stamped some flowers from the set and added some white dots everywhere on the card using Signo Broad pen from Uni-ball to add interest.

Next, I added some new Spring Meadow Mix that will also be available in the May release.

I hope you enjoyed this preview of some of the new products. Join us tomorrow for a look at another one of the new sets!

Sneak Peek: Bold Blooms

Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I wanted to share a technique video to show you two different ways to add color to outline images from the Bold Blooms stamp set that releases on May 1st!

Bold Blooms is a smaller set that features a number of beautiful floral and greenery images. There are coordinating dies available for this set but you can always use your stamps with or without the dies.

I started working on my card by stamping floral wreaths onto white cardstock panels cut to 4×5 ¼“. I made sure to outline a circle shape using a pencil to assure my wreath would be perfectly round.

For my stamping I decided to use just one flower shape – rose and two leaf shapes. I first stamped a number of flowers using black ink following my pencil line and later came in and stamped the leaves. You can chose to have a smaller wreath if you like, but I wanted to make sure my wreath would fit a sentiment so I made mine pretty large. As I was stamping my roses I made sure to rotate my image every time I made an impression. I wanted my wreath to look more organic, I wanted roses to face different directions and I also wanted to somewhat group my roses – I made little clusters with two flowers in each.

For my sentiments I used the new Thoughtful Greetings stamp set and stamped them messages in black ink. One of my sentiments reads “I Appreciate You More Than Words Can Say” and the second one reads “Thank You for Everything You Do”. I love the font used for these sentiments and I can see myself using it often on different projects.

After my stamping was done I used a pencil eraser and erased that circle pencil shape I had on my panels.

To do my coloring I used solid layer stamps to color one of my panels and also alcohol markers to color another one. And this is what is great about this set – you can chose to use solid layer stamps to add color to your outline images or you can use your favorite coloring mediums – pencils, markers, and even watercolors.

I used two shades of green ink to “color” my leaves; as for the roses – I went with lots of pink and just a hint of yellow. These images are rater easy to align – these are simple shapes so the solid layers fit inside outline layers very easily. By the way, you can always go for a slightly offset look if you want – I love how that looks.

To color my second wreath I used Copic Markers. I used the following colors: YG67, YG17, YG03 – to color leaves; RV14, RV13, RV10 to color pink flowers; Y19, Y15 and Y13 – to color yellow flowers.

To add some details to my wreath and my images I used a black pigment pen and a white gel pen.

I adhered my panels onto A2 top folding card bases made out of light gray cardstock and to spice one of my cards up I foam mounted a few stamped and die cut flowers. I wanted to add some interest to this card and I decided to do that using little die cut pieces.
