Sneak Peek: September 2024 Stencils

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at two of the new stencils that will be released!

New release will be available September 9th

I want to start with my favorite new stencil from this release as it works perfectly with a coordinating stamp and die set! The Solid Fall Foliage stencils create beautiful fall images with the layered set. I used different Autumn inspired inks to color in the leaves, mushrooms, berries and acorn for the (A) stencil, then brought browns for the (B) stencil on a light brown cardstock. Alternatively, you could use the Solid Fall Foliage stamp set to stamp the details, but the stenciling is so quick and easy!

Next I stamped “Happy Autumn” from the Solid Fall Foliage stamp set and embossed it in a white embossing powder on brown cardstock. Then I used the Solid Fall Foliage coordinating dies to cut out the sentiment and all of the stenciled images! I layered the images on a Mini Scallop Card cut from brown cardstock to finish the card.

For my second card, I really wanted to use the new mushroom themed products so I started with stenciling the Layered Mushroom Stencils with red inks with the (A) stencil, light brown with the (B) stencil, and stencil paste with the (C) stencil. Once it was dry, I cut it with the largest Eyelet Rectangle Dies and adhered it to center of an A2 card base.

I stamped my sentiment in brown ink on kraft cardstock from the Fall Bouquets stamp set and used the coordinating die to cut it out. Next I built my shaker using the Mushroom Shaker dies out of red and light brown cardstock and acetate. I think it looks so cute with the Fall Mushroom Clay Confetti! I adhered the shaker to the center of the card and layered the sentiment as well.

I hope you enjoyed these cards with two of the new stencils – you’re going to love all of them along with everything else from this release!

Sneak Peek: Fall Icons + Patterned Apples

Hi friends, it’s Jeanne here. Fall is in the air and I’m so excited to share two projects made with the upcoming release from Pretty Pink Posh! 

New release will be available September 9th

The Fall Icons stamp set includes 12 fabulous images that will have you thinking of all your fall favorites.  Pumpkins, apples, gourds and rainbow corn have me thinking of trips to the local farm stand. 

Colorful leaves, acorns, sunflowers and mushrooms are a walk in the woods!  And of course it wouldn’t be Fall without Thanksgiving with that cute little turkey!

The Fall Icons coordinating die set includes three circle dies perfect for stacking with the stamped images to add more color and layers to your designs.

The background for my card is the new Fall Words stencil that I added to craft paper with white embossing paste. The sentiment is from the Fall Harvest stamp set. 

For my second card we’re going to the Apple Orchard!  This card starts with the Layered Leaf Lattice stencil inked on a panel of pink cardstock. 

This set is for those of you who might not like to color. You can definitely stamp the apple outlines and color them as you like, but it’s so convenient to color them with the stamps in the set.  

The Patterned Apples stamp set includes three different size apples that you can stamp with solid, stripe, or dot patterns in the set. It also includes two different sized leaves as well as stems that you can also color with coordinating stamps. 

I inked my apples in shades of red, green and yellow, die cut them, and then arranged them on the card randomly.  Some of the apples are adhered flat to the card while others are raised with adhesive foam tape to add dimension. 

I think these apples are fabulous and I know they’ll be great for fall as well as teacher appreciation cards and gifts.

Come back tomorrow for another sneak peek of the upcoming release!

Sneak Peek: Fall Harvest

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here!  I’m thrilled to share this sneak peek using the Fall Harvest stamps with coordinating dies! The images are beautiful from this set, the possibilities are endless!  I had fun creating these beauties and the color palettes might be a little unexpected for Fall. Fall crafting is my favorite, let’s get started!

New release will be available September 9th

First, I stamped and colored the images from the Fall Harvest stamp set with an array of alcohol markers from my crafty realm. Once I colored all the images I decided to focus on one specific image to make a beautiful fall spray of leaves cascading down my card.  I used teals, dark yellows, and burnt orange colors for my palette.  Next it was time to work on my background, I used a new stencil set called Layered Autumn Harvest and I can’t get enough of this stencil! This stencil makes gorgeous backgrounds!  I added some faux brown splatters to the top left and bottom right of the card panel.   

I needed a resting place for the sentiment, I decided to use the Eyelet Circle Dies!  I adore the script of this sentiment and it’s included in Fall Harvest stamp set and has a die! I finished card with some white gel pen highlights and added a small twine bow!  Ta-Da card done and I love it!  The images are versatile in this set, you can make sprays, wreaths, and more! 

For my second card I decided to embrace several of the images from the Fall Harvest stamp set with coordinating dies!  I stamped and colored the images in an array of pinks, oranges, peach, and brown alcohol markers! Next, I took the coordinating dies and did some die cutting. 

For my background, I used the new Layered Autumn Harvest Stencils! I needed a resting place for my images and decided to use the Eyelet Rectangles Dies, specifically the largest die.  I cut the die out of vellum and adhered to the cardbase. My sentiment is from a new set called Fall Bouquets stamp set with coordinating dies. This is just a little sneak peek into this gorgeous set!  I wanted a backing for my sentiment and i decided to use one of my most used die sets called Sentiment Strips Dies. I finished the card up with some white gel pen highlights!  Friends I adore this card, I love the shabby chic autumnal look of this beauty! 

The new release is chock full of fall goodness!  Thank you so much for stopping by today and make sure to visit tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Sneak Peek: Fall Bouquets + Solid Fall Foliage

Hi folks, Kavya here with two cards using the latest release!! This fall themed release is filled with cute and adorable autumn themed elements that pair well with a bunch of previously released products. 

New release will be available September 9th

My first card uses the new Solid Fall Foliage stamp set. This stamp is perfect on its own! I started off by stamping the leaves and stems using two tones of colors. I used purple, pink, blue, orange, green and yellow shades of dye ink for the leaves. Pro Tip – First die cut the leaves and then stamp them to get the perfect cut. 

I decided to cut a bit more of the white border after die cutting to make it a bit more clean. Then, I took a piece of dark blue cardstock and stenciled a background using Deco Leaves stencil and black dye ink. I also ink blended the borders with black dye ink. I adhered all the leaves on my card base and finished it off with the new Many Thanks Shadow die. I also added a few more details using white gel pen and gold paint marker. 

My next card features the new Fall Bouquets stamp set. I stamped, cut and colored a bunch of images from the new Fall Bouquets and Fall Icons and previously released Cozy Fall Critters.

For the sentiment, I used the Easter Circles coordinating die and heat embossed the sentiment from the Fall Bouquets set. I adhered all the elements on some patterned paper to finish off my card!

Hope all of these projects inspire you. Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Happy Crafting, Kavya

Warm Autumn Cupcake

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m happy to be back on the blog with this autumn cupcake I’ve created as a companion to the Spooky Halloween Cupcake I shared with you a couple of weeks ago. When possible, I like to take ideas from other cards, and just by changing the color palette and/or theme, create a completely different card. And once again, my card features a good mix & match of different sets because I like to stretch my supplies and use them regardless of their original purpose.

See the Halloween Cupcake card post HERE

For today’s card, I started off by cutting a large Eyelet Rectangle out of kraft cardstock, and I knew that I would put a sunflower on my cupcake, so I went for a sunflower pattern on my background. And when I stencil on kraft cardstock, I like to create a white base first in order to make the colors stand out, so I used the Layered Sunflower stencil A and B along with white pigment ink to make the white base of my sunflowers.

Next I used the stencil A along with mustard seed oxide ink to make the first part of the petals, and then the stencil B along with fossilized amber oxide ink to make the second part. To make the leaves, I used the stencil C and mowed lawn oxide ink, and to make the center of my sunflowers, I used the stencil D and vintage photo oxide ink. I mixed some vintage oxide ink with water, and used a small brush to make splatters all over my panel, and did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I cut all the bits and pieces out of pattern paper and colored cardstock, and added more depth to each element using oxide inks. Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Big Halloween Cupcake – wrap, cream, cake, pumpkins • Spooky Mug Additions – pumpkins • Fall Mug Additions – sunflower, acorn, leaves • Fall Cornucopia – mushrooms, sunflower, corn • Big Easter Cupcake – sign.

I white heat embossed “Autumn greetings” from Fall Jar on the sign. I also white heat embossed “Grateful for your kindness” from Sentiments Strips: Fall on brown cardstock, and trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die. Next I assembled and attached everything on my Layered Sunflower background using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, liquid glue and 3mm glue dots.

As always, I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the elements using a white gel pen. And that’s it! I hope that my card has inspired you to shop your stash, regardless of the theme, to create unique cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Batty Halloween Pumpkins

Hi friends! It’s Christina, sharing another fun Halloween shaker card featuring some of the fabulous new things from the latest release. This time I used the super cute Pumpkin Cover Plate to create individual pumpkin shakers and the Scattered Bats Stencil with Black Texture Paste on white cardstock for a bold background with lots of contrast. Follow along as I walk you through the steps to create this easy Halloween shaker card!

First, I die cut the Pumpkin Cover Plate from white cardstock and then stenciled it with the Scattered Bats Stencil using Black Texture Paste. I’ll be using just the plate piece and not the cute, detailed pumpkins from this die cut so I saved them for another project! 

While the Texture Paste dried, I heat embossed some sentiments from the Upright Greetings: Halloween Stamp Set with white embossing powder on black cardstock and die cut them with the Sentiment Strips Dies.

After the Texture Paste dried, I attached a piece of acetate, cut to size, to the reverse side of the stenciled panel to create the shaker windows for the card front. Then, I die cut the Pumpkin Cover Plate again, but this time from orange cardstock. I used the die cut as a template to secure the orange pumpkins to a piece of black cardstock trimmed to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and then saved the orange plate piece for another project too!

With the pumpkins in place on the black cardstock panel, I applied thin foam strips all around the pumpkins, creating wells for the Classic Halloween Shaker Beads. Then, I placed foam tape across the rest of the black cardstock panel before attaching the stenciled panel card front. I used the corner of my Misti to help with the alignment of the card front and the card base.

To finish things up, I attached the Upright Greetings with foam squares, and as a last minute detail, I added a pumpkin face from the Halloween Mug Addition Dies to one of the pumpkins. 

And that completes this fun and easy Halloween shaker card. Be sure to check out all the latest goodies over in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop for the spookiest and cutest Halloween crafting supplies!

Hello, Gemma here today to share a Big Halloween Cupcake card. I love all the fun elements in this die set, there are even more than I used on this card.

I began by die cutting several pieces from the new Big Halloween Cupcake die set from colourful card, then assembled the pieces to make my cupcake.

I also added a little spider, who can be found in the new Spider Web Border die set.

Next, I worked on my background. As the cupcake is so bright and colourful, I decided to create a black and white background to show it off even more.

Using the new Layered Halloween Wreath stencils, I blended distress oxide inks over a piece of grey patterned paper. These are the inks I used:

  • Layer B – Lost Shadow distress oxide ink
  • Layer A – Hickory Smoke distress oxide ink
  • Layer C – Black Soot distress oxide ink

I adhered the background onto a 6″ square card base, then added the Big Halloween Cupcake on top with foam tape. I finished by adding several ‘eyes’ at the base of the cake.

I hope you enjoyed this Halloween card. Thanks for stopping by!

Using Positive & Negative Die Cuts

Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I’ve been having so much fun with all the PPP Halloween goodies, especially the Build A Monster set!

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

The Build A Monster set is so versatile with all the different possible combinations of eyes, arms, horns…and more to make a monster! But there is also the versatility in using the positive and negative die cuts!

The positive cuts build a fun monster, especially when you add a little glossy and glitter! And the negative space makes a fabulous shaker window (if I do say so myself)!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you were inspired by these cards!

Ghost Bookmarks

Hello Everyone! It is Zsofi here today showcasing the adorable Ghost Holder die set. The first time I saw this set, I felt I need to make these as little bookmarks! They would look great for kids for Halloween! So, I made 3 versions, let me show you how.

First I die cut the ghost 6 times from heavy weight white cardstock. I used Neenah Solar White 110 here, but any heavy weight cardstock would work. I adhered 2 together on the top part of the ghosts, approximately ½ an inch. I used liquid glue, I find it is strong enough not to get dissembled with usage.

Then I die cut a bunch of accessories from cardstock scraps using the same die set: a few candies, bats, and the Boo sign too, but the possibilities are endless. I adhered everything together and arranged them in the hands of the ghosts. I love that the ghost die makes those cuts around the hands, so it is easy to put anything in there.

I made one which is holding a pumpkin. You can decorate the 2 sides the same way or just get creative and make them different.

For the second one I tucked 3 candies in the ghost’s hands, while on the last I simply added the Boo sign and some bats.

Look how adorable they are while in the book? They peek out when the book is closed, isn’t that adorable? And so fast to make, even as a Halloween crafting with kids! 

I wish you liked this bookmark idea and got inspired. I will share a secret; the Build a Monster die set would also look gorgeous as bookmarks and the kids would love that too!

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon,
Zsofi

Back to School Box Card + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I am continuing my box card series for the year and thank you for your feedback on creating a card for “Back to School!” August and September are kind of weird months with no major holidays, but I think this is a fun “holiday” for kids and teachers who are ready to get back to school.

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

I started with creating my own school supplies by making a pencil and lined paper using the Get Well Mug Additions Dies and Graduation Mug Additions Dies. I created a pencil using the thermometer, pill and heart dies and a “yay!” paper from the prescription pad and sentiment dies. You can follow along in my video today if you need to see a step by step of how I glued them all together.

Next I stamped and colored in my cute little school children with alcohol markers from the Friends Forever Stamp Set and used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out. I also colored two blocks from the Baby Basics Stamp Set and used their Coordinating Die to cut them out as well.

Moving on to using the Layered Apples Stencils to create my background, I used Distress Oxides in Candied Apple and Scorched Timber for my apples (A) stencil and stems (C) stencil. Lastly, I used the leaves (B) stencil with Fake Plant Lunar Paste to create some texture and shine.

For my sentiment, I cut Sentiment Strips Dies in the medium sized rectangles and stamped “Thankful for You” from the Sentiment Strips: Fall Stamp Set. When the stenciled background was dry, I cut the Scallop Box Card Dies base from red cardstock and the scallop pieces from the Layered Apples background.

I assembled the box card together with my sentiment on the front of the box card, my school children on the middle “shelf” of the box, and attached the school supplies to the back arch piece of the box card.

I hope you like my take on back to school and let me know what you would like to see for next month!
