Hi friends! Christina here from My Crafty Trails, and I’m so excited to be sharing my project showcasing some of the cutest products from the newest Pretty Pink Posh release, the Baby Rattle Shaker and Beautiful Bows die sets.

Day 3: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

To start my project, I created my own text background by repeatedly stamping small sentiments with white pigment ink on minty green cardstock. Most of the sentiments I used are from the new Sentiment Strips: Occasions Stamp Set, but I pulled a few from the recent Birthday and Valentine stamp sets too. Before adding a stitched white frame from the Nature Essentials Dies to my text background, I splattered it with some white gouache paint.

Next, I die cut all the elements to make three baby rattles from navy, white, yellow, and pink cardstock. I chose not to make my rattles into shakers for this project and just assembled them with the decorative pieces included in the set. I decided to add some of the gorgeous and super-versatile bows from the new Beautiful Bows Die Set. And the dot detail on the yellow rattle is actually a component of one of the bows! 

Day 3: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

To finish up my card, I attached the assembled rattles to my background and trimmed the handles that overhung the panel. Then, I stamped a sentiment from the new Baby Basics Stamp Set in blue ink and fussy cut around the text before attaching it to my card. Lastly, I added a few white clay hearts and then attached everything to a navy cardstock panel.

Baby Mug Additions Dies 
Layered Baby Wreath Stencils (3 layers) 
Sentiment Strips Occasions Stamp Set 
Sentiment Strips Dies 

Day 2: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

Create a card from white cardstock A2 size. 

Cut a panel on kraft cardstock A2 size and stencil the new Layered Baby Wreath Stencils on it  using colors that you love and well that would be great for a new baby. 

Adhere your stenciled panel to your card base using liquid glue. 

Day 2: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

Die cut all the fun shapes, letters and images from the new Baby Mug Additions die set. You  can use colored cardstock or just ink blend some colors on the images.  

Stamp out the sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips: Occasions stamp set on white  cardstock using black ink and then die cut using the Sentiment Strips die set.  

Day 2: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

Die cut the scalloped Sentiment Strips die on kraft cardstock and ink blend lightly a little pink  around the edges. Now adhere the sentiment to the center of the scalloped sentiment strip  using foam tape. This gives the sentiment a little dimension.  

Adhere your sentiment to the your card also using foam tape.  

Now let’s build out little baby scene above the sentiment strip. Use liquid glue and foam tape  where it is needed. Usually when layering your images using foam tape helps them stand out a  little more then just gluing them down all with liquid glue.

Day 1: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

Day 1: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

The May 2024 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post yesterday, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Mindy has that for you today!

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

Hello crafty friends, Marine here. I’m here for the first day of the blog hop with fun and bright friendship card showcasing two new products from the Pretty Pink Posh May 2024 Release: the Decorative Hexagons stamp set and the Fancy Lattice stencil. And those beautiful hexagons definitely reminded me of bees, so I brought the Bee Friends back!

Day 1: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

I started off by creating my background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I first covered the entire panel with salvaged patina oxide ink to get a nice aqua base, and then I used the Fancy Lattice stencil along with peacock feathers oxide ink to create a beautiful pattern on my piece of paper. I also added a little bit of peacock feathers oxide ink on the four edges of my panel, and then added texture. I first splattered water that I dried using a paper towel, next I mixed some peacock feathers oxide with water and used a small brush to add more splatters, and I did the same with black soot oxide ink and with copic opaque white ink.

Day 1: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

I set my panel aside to dry, and stamped three Bee Friends on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them using the matching dies, and colored them using my alcohol markers. I used a white gel pen to add highlights and details to my three little bees, and applied white blizzard nuvo drops on their wings to make them sparkle. And I also white heat embossed three trails on vellum, cut them using the matching dies, and set those pieces aside for later.

Day 1: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

Next I stamped multiple Decorative Hexagons outlines on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using the same black ink as the bees, and started off by “coloring” those hexagons using the solid images along with Lawn Fawn Merman dye ink, and I stamped the patterns using Lawn Fawn Peacock dye ink. I cut my hexagons using the matching dies, attached them all on my Fancy Lattice panel using 1mm foam squares, along with the bees and trails, leaving enough space for my greeting.

Day 1: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

Speaking of which, I started off by cutting the Friend Shadow word out of gold glitter cardstock. Next I white heat embossed “Love you bunches” from Hedgehog Friends on black cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and then attached both pieces on my panel using 1mm foam squares. I finished my card by adding Onyx Black Pearls here and there, as well as a red heart from the Valentine Hearts clay confetti pack right above the “i” in “Friend”.

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 May 15, 2024 at 11:59 PM PST. I’ll be announcing the winners next week, so be sure to return and see if you are one of the winners.

Sneak Peek: May 2024 Dies

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I am excited to give you a peek of the fun mix of dies releasing this month.  There are some awesome basics to add to your stash as well as a bunch of new dies to help you celebrate oodles of happy occasions – graduation, wedding, baby, and more!  You’re gonna love them!  

New release will be available May 8th

Sneak Peek: May 2024 Dies

Since graduation season is upon us, I immediately pulled out the fun Graduation Cap Shaker Die. This die gives you options to add a shaker element to the top of the cap, the bottom of the cap, both, or no shaker element at all. You choose. :) 

Sneak Peek: May 2024 Dies

On my card I decided to fill the bottom of the Graduation Cap Shaker with Mint Shimmer Confetti Mix. I jazzed up the tassel a bit by trimming along the stitched lines and layering three colors of cardstock.

I considered adding some florals to the top of the graduation cap because I think the personalized graduation caps are so fun, but I opted to use the beautiful new Floral Semicircle Die to add florals to my card base instead. 

Sneak Peek: May 2024 Dies

I finished the card with the Congrats Shadow Die and some numbers cut with the previously released Graduation Mug Additions Dies. This simple design makes it really easy to customize colors for your graduate. And if you want to go a little more masculine, you can always swap out the florals with the solid, stitched semicircle die in the Floral Semicircle die set.  

Sneak Peek: May 2024 Dies

The baby themed products this release are absolutely darling!  I have six friends having babies in the next couple months, so I have lots of baby cards to make. I made this set of cards using the largest of the new Eyelet Squares dies.  

Sneak Peek: May 2024 Dies

On the first card, I added the darling new Onesie Shaker Die. After cutting it, I stenciled on the Starry Background Stencil and added “baby” using the new Baby Mug Additions Dies.   

Sneak Peek: May 2024 Dies

Then I used the Sentiment Strips Dies to repeat the colors on the background. Finally I added a few stitched stars found in the Baby Mug Additions

Sneak Peek: May 2024 Dies

While I had the Baby Mug Additions out, I die cut a bunch of the other shapes and blended ink on them for my second card. These super cute baby items were designed to be great mug fillers, but I wanted to show another option.  I turned the wrapper in the new Big Celebration Cupcake into a little basket.

Sneak Peek: May 2024 Dies

I added a bow from the new Beautiful Bows Dies (so many fabulous sizes and styles in that set!) and a little flag using a sentiment from the Baby Basics stamp set. You’ll also see a peek of the Baby Words Stencil on the background.  

Sneak Peek: May 2024 Dies

Thanks so much for joining me today! I feel like I only scratched the surface of the new dies releasing this month. Be sure you come back tomorrow to see a full look at what’s coming on May 8th!

Sneak Peek: May 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. I just love the new stencils – there are great layering stencils (like the Layered Onesies Stencils I will feature today), but my favorite just might be the new Fancy Lattice Stencil.

New release will be available May 8th

For my first card, let’s start with the Fancy Lattice Stencil! I used it with a 6×6” piece of kraft cardstock and first stenciled on Picket Fence Distress Ink. I cleaned off the stencil, then shifted it then inked a blend of Distress Oxide inks in Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade.

When the ink was dry, I cut it with the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die and adhered it to an A2 white card base. I then cut the third Eyelet Square Die out of pearlescent vellum as well as trimming down a piece of white cardstock to 2×2” to fit behind the square. I finally cut out the Best Wishes Shadow Dies out of holographic cardstock and apricot cardstock for the shadows.

I adhered my words to their shadows, then to the pearlescent vellum with liquid adhesive. Using the words as a guide, I adhered the white square to the back of the Eyelet Square so the glue would not show through. I then popped it up to the card base with foam adhesive along with a few Strawberry Shimmer and Lemon Shimmer sequins to the card.

Moving to the second card, I stenciled the Layered Onesies Stencils on white cardstock. I used Catherine Pooler Inks with the (A) stencil in Lime Rickey, All That Jazz and Something Borrowed. For the (B) stencil, I used Beluga Solar Paste and set it aside to dry.

Next I stamped and colored my images from the Baby Animals Stamp Set as well as my sentiment. I used the Baby Animals Coordinating Dies to cut out the images and “Baby” sentiment. I cut the third Eyelet Hearts Die out of teal cardstock and used the images as a guide to stamp “Hello” onto the heart.

I cut down my stenciled background to 4-⅛x5-⅜” and used a corner rounder. I used the same corner rounder on my A2 white card base and I adhered the background to the card. I popped up the heart, images and sentiment to my card base. I love the subtle shine from the Layered Onesies and the adorable dog images.

I’m so excited for you to see the rest of the release and amazing stencils! Stop by tomorrow for a look at the new die sets coming soon!

Sneak Peek: Decorative Hexagons

Hi friends, It’s Jeanne here and I’m so excited to share a sneak peek of the new Decorative Hexagons stamp set with coordinating dies. This set is so versatile and I love that it’s not for any specific holiday because I know I’ll be reaching for it throughout the year!

New release will be available May 8th

Sneak Peek: Decorative Hexagons

The set includes four different size hexagons, a solid stamp for each size, and two different patterns for each size. You can stamp the hexagon out line and solid and stop there, or add different patterns them.

Sneak Peek: Decorative Hexagons

For this card I stamped and cut several hexagons and then assembled them to create a solid panel. Along the seam of the solid and hex panels I added a Stitched Strip and one of the new Beautiful Bow die cuts.

Sneak Peek: Decorative Hexagons

This card is clean and simple looking but packs a punch with lots of colorful hexagons.

For my second card I stamped and cut the Decorative Hexagons in different sizes and arranged them on a clean white panel in a random order trying to fill as much space as possible. When I trimmed the pieces outside the edge of the card I was able to save some of the pieces to fill in smaller white spaces.

Sneak Peek: Decorative Hexagons

To create a focal point I topped the panel with a large vellum Eyelet Circle and then added a smaller white one over that. The sentiment is from Baby Basics.

Sneak Peek: Decorative Hexagons

I added a Baby Rattle Shaker die that I turned into a shaker. YES! That’s a new glass bead mix called Spring Breeze. The little duckie and safety pin are from the new Baby Mug Additions die set.

Sneak Peek: Decorative Hexagons

I think these Decorative Hexagons are going to look amazing on holiday cards. A simple switch of color will make them perfect for any occasion!

Stop by tomorrow for another look at the upcoming release!

Sneak Peek: Baby Animals

Hello everyone!  This is Melissa and I’m here to share a couple of cards made with the adorable Baby Animals stamps and coordinating dies. These new products are simply irresistible and heartwarming. Let’s get started!

New release will be available May 8th

I used the darling mama duck and two ducklings on my first card and am smitten with them.  I die cut them from a soft, yellow patterned paper and paper-pieced their wings to bring in a little personality and texture.  I added a bit of ink blending down the front of each duck and duckling and across their bellies and near their cheeks.  

The new Eyelet Squares dies were used to provide a place for me to layer my sweet duck and babies.  You’ll adore these new dies! They are absolutely perfectly sized for so many projects, large and small.  I added a stamped and die cut sentiment using the Baby Animals. The “Hello” sentiment was stamped on a die cut heart using the new Stacked Squares dies.

One of my favorite new stencil sets is the sweet Layered Baby Wreath and that’s just what I’ve used behind my focal point.  I cut my card base using the Scallop Frames and love how my focal point was framed in perfectly!

My next card uses the darling mama and baby bunny and mama and baby kitten from the Baby Animals set. I added just a bit of ink blending and coloring with my Copics to highlight a few areas on each animal.  

I layered them on a die cut Eyelet Square and added baby blocks to create a grid of sorts using the Stacked Squares dies. These are so much fun to get creative with and are the perfect accent for the Baby Animals stamp set.

I used felt to cut my tiny star and flower, embellishing the centers of both using tiny buttons. My sentiment once again comes from the Baby Animals stamp set and dies.  

These new products have my heart and are so refreshing when it comes to creating with them. You’ll love them too!

Sneak Peek: Baby Basics

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here! Are you ready for some super cuteness!?  I’m thrilled to share this sneak peek using the new Baby Basics stamps and coordinating dies. Let’s get started!

New release will be available May 8th

Sneak Peek: Baby Basics

For my first card I used color cardstock with coordinating reinkers. I know some crafty friends don’t use alcohol markers so I thought I would share something a bit different.  I  heat embossed several of the images with white embossing powder on an array of colored cardstock. Next, I die cut the images and did some faux watercoloring with my reinkers to add some depth. I realized the Layered Baby Wreath Stencils worked with some of the dies from the Baby Basics, woohoo!  I did some ink blending and die cutting and viola we have some super cute images. 

Sneak Peek: Baby Basics

For my background I used the new Stacked Scallops stencils for the base and for the smaller layer I used new Baby Wreath Stencils, all the wreath stencil sets are a favorite of mine! I needed a resting place for my images, so I decided to use the new Eyelet Squares Dies, yes we have Eyelet Squares!  I adhered the images to the eyelet square. 

Sneak Peek: Baby Basics

My next and final step was a sentiment.  I used the new Sentiment Strips: Occasions stamps with my very much loved Sentiment Strips Dies and ta-da all done!  It’s a super adorable card and the images are the cutest!

Sneak Peek: Baby Basics

For my second card I stamped, die cut, and colored my images from Baby Basics stamps and coordinating dies with an array of Olo and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. My color inspiration is from the new Sweet Dreams Shaker Beads!  For my card base I added some splatters of grey and blue to the top left and bottom right of the panel.  Next I added strips of cardstock using the Simple Strips Dies.  And yes friends it’s shaker time, my next panel I cut out two of the images from the Baby Basics Dies.  I added some acetate, foam, the new Sweet Dreams Shaker Beads and viola! 

Sneak Peek: Baby Basics

Next,  I adhered the images to the panel! I used one of the sentiments from the Baby Basics stamp set. I added some gel highlights to the images!

Sneak Peek: Baby Basics

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peeks and thank you so much for stopping by! The release is chock full of celebrating goodness!  Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Balloons

Hello, Gemma here to share a card with the Party Balloons die set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Birthday Balloons

I began by die cutting balloons from gold, white, green and pink card. I created three balloons, layering pieces together for the star patterned balloons, then adding the strings.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Birthday Balloons

On an A2 card base, I adhered a piece of light green patterned paper. I added a sentiment, using the Happy Birthday Shadow die set and the Birthday Scripts stamp set.

Next, I adhered the three balloons to the card, along with an additional sentiment banner attached to one of the balloons.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Birthday Balloons

To create the banner, I first embossed a sentiment in gold from the Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set, then die cut it with a Sentiment Strip. I layered a gold banner behind with foam tape, then trimmed the sentiment banner at one end before attaching to the balloon to finish.

Thanks for stopping by. Join us tomorrow as we kick off sneak peeks for the upcoming release!
