I’m sharing a fun shaker card featuring the Beach Fun Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies!! It doesn’t get better than a shaker, am I right?!?

I started by stamping the images in the Beach Fun Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Copic-friendly black ink. I colored them with Copic markers, added details and highlights with a white gel pen, then used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out. The Beach Day Shaker Beads inspired my color palette.

To create the background, I blended Stormy Sky Distress Oxide Ink onto the top of an A2 panel of smooth white cardstock. I tore another panel of white cardstock to create the “sand” layers and blended them with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks. They were splattered with diluted inks in the same colors, as well as diluted white bleed-proof ink. One of the dies from the Shoreline Borders Die Set was also cut from white cardstock to create the “water” at the bottom of the background. It was blended with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink, splattered with the same diluted ink and white bleed-proof ink. All the layers were adhered to the background panel with liquid glue.

The rectangle die was cut from orange cardstock. I adhered acetate and added foam tape to the back of the rectangle, then added the Beach Day Shaker Beads to the opening. The background was then adhered to the back of the rectangle to create the shaker.

The sentiment, also from the Beach Fun Stamp Set, was stamped onto white cardstock with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink. It was cut out with the Coordinating Die, then adhered to the front of the acetate with liquid glue to finish off the card.

That does it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! Stay tuned for more summer inspiration coming your way this week!

Hello, Gemma here today to share a CAS card featuring the Seashell Wreath.

I began by heat embossing the Seashell Wreath stamp with a pearl white embossing powder. This gives a subtle look on white card, with beautiful shimmer where the light hits. It’s perfect for the seashells in this wreath.

I die cut the wreath with the coordinating die, and added a couple of layers behind for dimension.

As I used embossing powder, it’s advised not to colour with alcohol markers. Instead I reached for my zig clean colour brush markers, which I haven’t used in ages. Although I didn’t use watercolour card, they blended quite well.

There are some sentiments in the Seashell Wreath stamp set, which fit perfectly inside the wreath. I die cut another white card layer, keeping the centre part this time. I marked an arrow on the wreath, so I knew which was the top, then stamped a sentiment in the centre. I adhered this to the back of my coloured seashell wreath.

For my background, I die cut a Scallops Pierced Plate, adhering it to an A2 card base. I then added the wreath with sentiment on top to finish.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Hi Friends! Emily Mydlowski here with you today sharing all the summer good vibes with a rainbow & glitter shell card using the Good Vibes Shadow Die, Seashell Shaker Dies and the Chevron Pierced Plate Die. 

For the rainbow seashell, I die cut the shell from both white and silver glitter cardstock using the shaker frame die and backer (white cardstock only). I colored the inner shell pieces in rainbow order using dye inks and blending brushes. I adhered the silver glitter frame to the white shell backer and used liquid adhesive to adhere the rainbow inlays. 

For the sentiment, I die cut the script in glitter cardstock and the shadow in vellum. I love using vellum as a shadow sentiment backer so you still see the image while giving depth and dimension to the sentiment. To finish the design, I added the rainbow shells to a white Chevron pierced background panel. 

So there we are friends, a fun what to create a non shaker card using the Seashell Shaker Die. Thanks for stopping by and Big Paper Hugs!

Hi friends, Debbie here and I’m so excited to share with you the Sand Bucket Shaker Die! I have to say this is one of my favorite cards I made! I had so much fun making it! The colors of course are inspired by the beautiful Underwater Clay Mix.

When we go to the beach, we know the sand sparkles so I had to use some glitter paste using the Summer Words Stencil!

While the panel dried, I stamped out the Seashells Stamp Set onto Copic friendly paper using Memento London Fog Ink. I used the gray ink because I didn’t want the harsh black lines. A perfect alternative!

COPIC Coloring Guide:
BG10, BG11, BG53
B12, B14, B04
V000, V01, V12

Once the coloring was done I cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. Adding some  simmer and white highlights to the shells. 

Now that the panel is dry, I took the outside die from the Sand Bucket Shaker and cut it out of the center of the panel. Also die cutting it out of the Lilac card stock with both the dies to create a frame. The handle was cut from a darker blue violet card stock. Rather than die cutting out the top of the bucket I decided to leave it and add a polkadots pattern paper from my stash. 

I flipped over the panel and added the acetate with double sided adhesive. Normally at this point I would add my foam strips to make the shaker well. But I wanted to add the sentiment from the Seashell Stamp Set onto the acetate using StāzOn Opaque Cotton White Ink. Let it dry for a little bit before you flip it back over to add the foam. 

Once I filled the well up with the Underwater Clay Mix I added the same color card stock as the handle to close the well so none of the beads fall out. 

Next, back to the front side of the panel I added the Lilac frame, only gluing on the edges. Because I wanted to be able to tuck the shells into the bucket. The handle was trimmed down a bit and not placed all the way to the bucket. No one will ever know, it still gives the illusion that it is hooked onto the bucket. 

Added three of the shells to the bottom right of the bucket with the middle one popped up with foam squares. With some teal twine from my stash, I made a bow and attached it on the polka dot piece of the bucket. 

I think I need a beach trip somewhere tropical now! Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty my friends! 

Hello crafty friends, June here! Today I’m showcasing a new card I made using lots and lots of flowers.

I went into this without too much planning. I knew I wanted a card full of flowers, but I had no idea about my color palette or layout when starting. I started out by cutting 4 different flowers from the Floral Wreath Builder die set out of various colors of cardstock. I ended up with a lot of extra pieces I didn’t end up using on my card, so I might be able to make an extra project with them! Die cutting these took a while, but I loved having enough pieces on hand to play around with.

To give the flowers some dimension, I used a tiny blending brush to add a darker shade of ink to the center. I also added some gel pen dots along the stitch lines. The flowers from the die set come with their own centers to cut out, but to speed up the process I actually went for the eyes from the Build A Monster die set instead. These cut out 2 at a time in different sizes which speeded up the process a lot.

I chose a sentiment from the Friend Greetings stamp set to place my flowers around and stamped it using a dark turquoise shade to match the flowers. For the background, I used a lighter shade of blue and added splatters in the same darker shade. They’re barely visible, but you know I have to add some splatters whenever I can!

I played around with the layout of the flowers until I was satisfied with the look. I didn’t think about it too much, so is it perfectly balanced? Definitely not. But I had a lot of fun playing around without being too hard on myself. I know I can get a bit nitpicky, so I did my best to not overthink.

To add more interest to the card, I slightly curled up the edges of the petals. I did this by taking each petal in between my thumb and index finger and adding some pressure while ‘pulling’ on the petal. I popped up all of the flowers on a foam square for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the extra dimension looks really good, and secondly, foam dots can still be removed compared to glue, so it would make adjusting my flowers way easier if the placement was slightly off.

I also added foam tape to the sentiment so it didn’t get lost in between all those flowers. It’s a pretty small sentiment, so the flowers did feel a bit overpowering. That’s why in the end, I added an extra sentiment strip underneath it, but on top of the flowers. I used the ‘thinking of you’ from the Hummingbird Floral stamp set and embossed it in white onto some dark turquoise cardstock.

And that’s it for today! This card definitely felt a bit out of my comfort zone, but I’m so in love with the way it turned out! I think these floral dies are stunning so they definitely deserved their own card.

I hope to see you again soon, bye!

Hi Friends! Emily Mydlowski here with you today sharing a Clean & Simple rainbow shells card using the Seashell Border Die, Seashell Background Stencil and Seashell Stamp & Die.

Because the Seashell Background stencil has thin lines, I added Pixie Spray to the back of stencil to prevent it from lifting during ink blending. With ink blending brushes, I added a layer of rainbow die inks letting the colors blend together in pink, red, yellow, teal and purple. 

I staggered four white Seashell Border die-cuts across the rainbow seashell stencil background. Then I trimmed the edges of the borders so the seashells extend across the entire card panel. The trick to straight edge trimming is to turn the card over and using sharp scissors snip the border edges. 

To finish the card, I added a black and white embossed “You’re Spe-shell” sentiment. 

I love how bright and cheerful such a simple design can be! Enjoy the summer cardmaking season! Thanks for stopping by and Big Paper Hugs!

Hello, Gemma here today sharing a card with the Beach Fun stamp set.

I stamped images from the Beach Fun stamp set, using a grey copic friendly ink. I coloured with a limited palette of copic markers, then die cut the images with the coordinating dies. I added two die cut layers behind each image for dimension.

Copic marker colours

• N0-3
• B000-00 B91 B97-99
• R00-01 R20-24

Next, I die cut an Eyelet Square from white card. With another piece of white card, I used the Chevron Pierced Plate. I cut this down to fit on top of the eyelet square, popping it up slightly by adding a piece of card behind. I then adhered this in the centre of a 6” square card base.

For a sentiment, I stamped one of the greetings from the Beach Fun stamp set underneath the eyelet square. I also die cut the Summer Script word from gold sparkle card, adding some dimension with additional die cut layers.

I adhered the Summer Script die cut word and Beach Fun images on to the card, then decided I wanted to add some gold perfect pearl splatter. I temporarily covered my images with card, so the splatter only hit the card base. Finally, I added some white gel pen details to the images to finish.

I hope you were inspired by this summer card. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m super happy to be back on the blog with this extra cute and colorful summer shaker card showcasing items from the June 2025 Release. What an amazing release it is, with all the beautiful summer themed products! I’m really enjoying working with all those new goodies!

For today’s card, I started off by cutting a large Stitched Torn Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I covered it with salvaged patina oxide ink, and then added seashells all over it using the Seashell Background stencil along with peacock feathers oxide ink. As always I added texture to my panel, starting with water splatters that I dried with a paper towel. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over the panel, I did the same with peacock feathers and prize ribbon oxide inks, and also added sparkling droplets using liquid stardust. When my panel was totally dry, I attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel using 1mm foam tape, and then the whole thing to a white card base.

Next I cut two more Stitched Torn Rectangle panels out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and used Shoreline Border dies to cut a border out of each panel: a small one and a bigger one. I blended antique linen and vintage photo oxide inks on both panels, and added water splatters, white ink splatters and brown splatters to create a sandy texture.

I cut five different Stitched Seashells and the shovel, which is part of the Sand Bucket Shaker die set, out of colored cardstock, applied matching distress inks to the edges of each element, mixed the same inks with water and added splatters to them, and did the same with copic opaque white ink. Set them all aside to dry, and built my Sand Bucket Shaker, following those steps:

1. Cut a Sand Bucket Shaker frame out of blue cardstock using the main die and the die that cut the bottom part off (added texture, which is totally optional)
2. Cut a whole bucket out of acetate, and stuck the bucket frame on top using liquid glue
3. Flipped the bucket over, and added foam strips all along the edges of the bucket and on the upper section as well
4. Poured a bunch of Beach Town mix and Spring Breeze shaker beads inside the bucket
5. Cut a whole Sand Bucket Shaker out of a light green pattern paper (added texture)
6. Peeled the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached that green bucket to the foam strips to close the Sand Bucket Shaker

To decorate the front of the bucket, I cut a whole Sand Bucket Shaker out of a blue gingham pattern paper, trimmed the upper part off, added white splatters to it, and then attached it to the bucket using 1mm foam squares. I also cut the bucket handle out of white cardstock, added texture to it using pumice stone oxide ink and white ink, and once dry, stuck it to the bucket using foam squares again.

Next I assembled everything on my card, starting with the largest Shoreline Border that I attached using 1mm foam squares. I stuck my Sand Bucket Shaker, tilting it a little bit to the left, and tucked three Stitched Seashells inside of it. I attached the starfish outside of the bucket for more interest, added the small Shoreline Border to give the illusion that the bucket is tucked in the sand, and added the shovel and one more Stitched Seashells to decorate the bottom of my card.

I went for three greetings, white heat embossing them all on colored cardstock: “You are spe-shell” is from Seashells and I cut it using the matching die, “Happy summer” and “Wishing you sunny days” are from Sentiment Strips: Summer and I trimmed them using Sentiment Strips dies. I attached each sentiment on my card using foam squares, and to finish it, I added sparkles to the Stitched Seashells using white blizzard nuvo drops.

And that’s it! Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Hey friends! Justin here, and I am SO excited to be sharing one of my very first blog posts as an official Pretty Pink Posh Design Team Member! For my first month of my first term, I wanted to create a card that was full of color and just all around good vibes! I pulled in some new and older product to make this card come together, so let’s get into the details!

Below is a list of Pretty Pink Posh Products used to create this card:
Good Vibes Shadow Dies
Circle Grid Stencil

Other Key Products Used:
Picket Raspberry Distress Ink, Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink, Mustard Seed Distress Ink, Twisted Citrón Distress Ink, Peacock Feathers Distress Ink, Wilted Violet Distress Ink, Black Paper Splatter, Liquid Snowflake Paper Splatter, Black Cardstock, White Cardstock, Metallic Cardstock

For my colorful circle panel, I placed the Circle Grid stencil on top of a piece of white cardstock that is good for blending Dye Inks. Then, I used a low-tack tape to only expose one circle at a time (masking the surrounding circles) and I ink blended 2 different Distress Inks in each circle. I tried my best to use colors adjacent to one another on the color wheel. When I was done, I trimmed this panel down to 3.875” x 5.185” and then splattered both Black and Snowflake Paper Splatter to give it some detail.

To create my good vibes sentiment, I decided to die cut the shadow from white cardstock, and the letters from black cardstock, because I didn’t want to detract too much from the overly colorful background! However, once my sentiments were assembled, I did adhere them to my panel using foam tape so that they had some nice lift off of the paper.

I adhered my circle panel to a 4” x 5.25” panel of iridescent metallic cardstock, and then adhered that full unit to a 4.25” x 5.5” panel of black cardstock. I think this layering helps give the card nice clean edges, and a slight bit of a professional look.

When it came to finishing up this card, I adhered it to an A2-size card base, and also adhered some sparkle embellishments as well for extra glitz. I always like to add my embellishments as the very last step as I think it helps in not disturbing them!

Thank you so much for stopping by the Pretty Pink Posh blog today for some bright and colorful inspiration! I can’t wait to see what stencils you decide to try this  “mask and blend” technique on!

Happy Crafting!
Justin
