Hi there, Joy here today bringing you a post for the Pretty Pink Posh blog using the Friends Forever set that released in March!
I have something a little different for you from me of course, I created a video, yep I don’t do them often but I do try and well once I sort out the light situation in my room maybe then I may create more LOL I do try…
I created a couple of cards in this video and you will notice what card I share in the still shots in the video is not the one I create on the video, but I wanted to give you option of 2 different colours and how super easy these can be to create, so why make 1 when you can create 2 right..
Creating shaker cards with Pretty Pink Posh product is so fun and easy, so sit back and watch how I create these cards for you…
Hello everyone, Eloise here and today I have a 1 stamp set, 3 cards video for you all. I’m going to be using the Friends Forever stamp set today since there is a lot of images as well as a lot of sentiments, which is what I want. Along with the stamp set I’m also using a few Pretty Pink Posh dies and sequins, too.
For my first card today, I used the Window Frames dies to create an opening into some watercolour cardstock, ink blended some Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Distress Ink on top of the panel and created a shaker card using the Friendship Mix, Petunia Seed Beads, Sparkling Clear Stars and Sparkling Clear Seed Beads. I used a double layer of foam tape, since I wanted a lot of shake to happen. I sealed off the shaker using some white cardstock.
On top of my window shaker, I added some images I previously coloured with my Copic Markers and then adhered them with glue dots. For my sentiment I used some Twisted Citron Distress Ink onto some more cardstock and cut out a banner using the Stitched Notes dies. I then stamped the ‘Love You’ sentiment from the Friends Forever stamp set on top of the banner with black ink. I added foam tape onto the back and added onto the top of my panel. I then wrapped around some hemp cord and tied a bow. I mounted the entire panel onto a blue card base and the card was complete.
For the second card, I die cut the Stitched Film Strip from some white cardstock first and then moved onto my background. I laid out my elements on the background first to see where I wanted everything placed, once I knew I took some Wild Honey and Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink and used a piece of acetate, smooshed the ink on top, sprayed it with water and pressed down onto the cardstock. I repeated this until I was happy with the result. I then dried it off with a heat tool and stamped the sentiment ‘Hello Friend’ on the left with black ink.
I then adhered my kids that were previously coloured also with Copic Markers and adhered them to the back of the film strip. I then added foam tape all along the back and adhered it down to the card panel. To finish it up I added some Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix and then adhered the entire panel to a card base.
For my third card I first cut a piece of watercolour paper with the frame die that comes in the Stitched Notes die set. Once that was cut I used the Peekaboo Windows dies and cut the rectangle one out of the panel and also out of some masking tape. I then masked off the windows and used the Twisted Citron Distress Ink to colour the top of my piece and then fading it out to white. Once the green was blended I used the negative masking tape piece and placed that around the windows and used some painters tape to help hold it down and then used the Squeezed Lemonade to do the same inking to the windows. I then splattered on some water and dried it with a heat tool.
After everything was adhered and dried, I added my sentiment ‘I’m So Glad That We’re Friends’ from the same Friends Forever stamp set and stamped that underneath the windows with some black ink. I then went ahead and added adhesive to the whole back of the die cut panel and then added my images behind the window. I then added some foam tape behind the entire panel and kids and then I added some colour onto my card base. I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and ink blended it onto my card base, blending it out to white. I added my panel on top and my card was complete.
I hope you enjoyed my cards today and got inspired! I love using a stamp set more than once, but sometimes struggle to use it again once I’ve already used it! So this works great if you colour a ton of images at once, then make so many different cards with them all.
Good morning! Heather here to share a tutorial for a couple one layer cards I put together by combining different ink colors with the lovely Blissful Butterflies stamp set!
This is one of my go to stamp sets – the butterflies are just beautiful, and there is so much you can do with this stamp set! I first used a strip of Post-it tape to mask off a strip of the card front to place my sentiment – this way I could stamp freely and still have a focal point to place my sentiment.
I chose two color combos for my cards – both inspired from Pinterest. I used THIS inspiration for my first color combo that is more bright tones, and THIS color combo for the second one in slightly more muted colors.
I stamped the butterflies in a random pattern with my selected ink colors, then peeled off the masking tape, and added a sentiment from the newly released Everyday Greetings – seriously this set has the perfect sentiment for any card, and I love the font!
I finished off by adding some sparkly Stickles to accent the butterflies, and glued a few sizes of Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix next to the sentiment on each side.
I don’t think you can have too many thank you cards – and these came together so quickly and would be super easy to recreate in any color combination you could imagine. Monochromatic would even be fun!
And the Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix and Stickles add just the right amount of sparkle, while still leaving these cards nice and flat and perfect for mailing as well!
To begin, I first stamped the images from Garden Treasure stamp set I only used the lined images and colored them with Copic Markers. After coloring I then used the Garden Treasure die set to die-cut each images.
Next, I distressed my card base with Tim Holtz Distressed Ink pads in Evergreen Bough and Crushed Olive. Then, used one of the scallop border from Stitched Borders 2 dies. I die-cut the top and bottom of the panel.
Next, I spattered some white gold watercolor paint from Gansai Tambi Starry Colors. Then, once it dried I adhered the flowers with foam tape for dimensions.
Here’s the final look of the card.

I love spreading a little cheer around the holidays! It doesn’t matter the season or the occasion, I know everyone loves a little surprise, and some chocolate always makes you feel a little better.
Today I’m sharing how to make some simple treat wraps. I inserted four foil wrapped chocolates in a cello bag that’s 3.25 x 4.25”. You want a small treat that’s not too thick.
The friend in the bunny costume, along with the eggs, comes from the Easter Friends set. The fun sign in the background is from the Camping Friends set.
I cut two of the Stitched Duo 3 Tags(the Stitched Duo 2 works really well for this also). Next I scored a line across the bottom at 3/8”. If your treat is a little thicker you can adjust this measurement to make the bottom a little wider.
Attach the two dies together with strong tape to create a U shaped base to hold your treats. While holding the two ends together punch a hole to keep things together. You can insert a candy pack with some double sided tape. Now for the fun part… decorating!
Decorating is fun and easy using products from Pretty Pink Posh. The stitched design throughout the collection coordinates the dies so they go together seamlessly. I used the scallop oval from the Decorative Tag One to frame my sentiment from the Everyday GreetingsStamp Set.
The bees are from the Bee Friends Stamp Set that has matching dies. For those who didn’t get a chance to get them while they were a free gift, it’ll be releasing in May!
Pretty Pink Posh has lots of border stamps to choose from that make wonderful trims for these packages. This one is from the Scallop Borders set.
The Easter Friends set will make all your Spring treats look amazing! I know they’ll be adored and appreciated!
I hope you enjoyed today’s post. Thanks for stopping by the Pretty Pink Posh blog!
Hello everyone, Vera here sharing another way to use Easter Friends coordinating dies as a non–Easter project. With a little imagination, you can create all sorts of characters with some of the dies you may already have in your stash!
Hello everyone, Eloise here and today I have a 10 minute card challenge card for you all. As much as I love to create very full on cards that take a lot of time I also enjoy creating very simple and quick cards. So today I thought it would be fun to do the challenge. For my card today I’m using the Easter Blessings stamp set along with the Scallop Oval dies.
To begin my card today I first stamped out the cross image from the Easter Blessings stamp set with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White Cardstock and coloured it in with Copic Markers. I used YG01, YG23 and YG17 for the leaves and E51, E53 and E55 for the cross part. I then used the coordinating dies to cut it out. While I had my Big Shot machine out, I also cut out the Scallop Oval die using some white cardstock. Once all my die cutting was done, I could work on my background.
For my background I did a super quick and easy watercolour background. I first blended on some Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink quite messily and then went in with some clean water and spread out the colour using the brush. This creates a fun watercolour background that’s quite pale and light, and it’s also very quick and easy to do! Once my background was done I dried it off with my heat tool and now I could assemble.
Before adhering everything down, I stamped out my sentiment onto the bottom centre of my card, using the same Easter Blessings stamp set with some Versafine Onyx Black ink. I then added foam tape onto the back of my frame and my image and adhered those down into the centre of my card. I popped up the entire panel on some fun foam and adhered it down to a pre-made card base. For a last finishing touch I went ahead and added some Wink of Stella to my cross image in the centre and that finished up the card.
I hope you enjoyed my card today and were inspired to either make a quick and simple card or to try and make a card in 10 minutes. This style of card can be used for so many different occasions just with a switch up of some colours, images and a sentiment. I think I’ll be using this design for a lot of cards now that I need quickly.
Hi there, Jeanne here today with a quick and fun Easter card!
Don’t you just love Easter? One of my favorite traditions is decorating eggs. We write on them with a white crayon – secret messages, or each other’s names, and then dip them in cups filled with water and food coloring. It’s fun to watch the messages appear. We don’t tell each other what they say.. only what cup the special message is in. You have to wait for the letters and words to appearl There’s always one that says “I love you” painted my favorite color!
I added splashes of watercolor that remind me of painting eggs on a clean white background. It’s the perfect background for this this sweet bunny from the Easter Friends stamp set.
The stamp set has three different egg patterns – stripes, dots, and solid so you can make lots of your own in different colors. The coordinating die set makes them easy to cut out in a flash!
I love the hand written font that you’ll find in a lot of the Pretty Pink Posh sets. It makes each and every hand made card look even more personal – a gift from the heart.
There’s only 10 more days until Easter- are you ready?
Today we have another special post by Lori Hairston. She created these darling Easter tags using both new and old Pretty Pink Posh products.
Let’s take a look at her post and video, shall we?
Hi, there! I’m hopping by with an Easter card featuring two cute Pretty Pink Posh bunnies from the Easter Friends stamps and coordinating dies.
You might notice that one bunny is sporting a cute pair of glasses. You can find those on the Holiday Pals stamp set.
The card base and front are die cut using the largest die from the Scallop Square Tags dies. The pieces aren’t really attached just held together with a white clothespin. The inside sentiment is stamped on the smaller scallop square.

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here this morning – to share a bright and colorful card that is also a full panel shaker card! I also had fun combining some newly released goodies with some older stamps and dies – one of my favorite things about Pretty Pink Posh is how well everything coordinates and works together!
I also added some accents with a white gel pen – and a BUNCH of Glossy Accents to the umbrella! LOVE the sparkle and shine that adds! Harder to see in the photos, but I added Glossy Accents to her jacket (to make it look a bit like a rain jacket?) and her shoes.
I added a frame using Scallop Frames to create my shaker portion, backing it with acetate, and adding foam tape around the edges. I then mounted the decorated frame directly on the front of the acetate, and added some foam behind the frame. I did this for two reasons – to add stability to the entire card with such a large shaker portion, and so that I didn’t waste my shaker filling where it wouldn’t be seen anyway. This way it can shaker around the entire panel and I didn’t have to fill it up as much as I otherwise might have had to.
I filled the shaker with 1/4″ Iridescent Star Confetti – SO nice and sparkly, and the perfect accent to all the bright colors from my rainbow plaid paper – it’s new from Lawn Fawn and I just ADORE it! Plaid makes me so happy anyway, but add a happy rainbow, and how can you go wrong?!?!?
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you are having a wonderful day!!!
