Step by Step Copic Tutorial

Hello friends! It’s Mindy from My Creative Scoop! I’m really excited to share a Copic Tutorial with you today. I’m using the stamp set Holiday Pals Stamp Set and we are going to be creating a winter scene with some snowy trees.

I stamped my images on Copic Xpress it Blending Card using Memento ink.

I used the masking technique to layer my trees. Here’s a little tutorial on how to create this look.

*If you want a closer look at any of these photos, click on the photo to enlarge it.

I always keep my masks in an envelope so I can re-use them over and over.

Let’s start coloring! I’m using G20, G82, G85, W00, W1, W3, W5. You can use whatever greens and grays you have.

Now, for the lightest parts of the tree we want to really make it look like snow. So I’ve taken my uni-ball Signo broad gel pen and colored the tips white and also created different size snow balls falling. Make sure when you do this you make some white dots on the outline of the stamp it really makes a difference with the scene.

I hope you are super inspired to create some Christmas scenes using your Pretty Pink Posh stamps!

Tutorial: Stamping with Watercolor Markers

Hi Pretty Pink Posh friends, Shannon here today! So happy to join you today to share a card I created using the Build a Bloom stamp set and coordinating dies.

I did some watercolor stamping here, where I used my Zig Real Brush Markers directly on the stamp and stamped it on watercolor paper for a messy watercolor look. I started by stamping the branches several times and using my water brush to move the color around a little more once stamped. I did the same process with the flowers as well and cut all the pieces out with the coordinating dies.

I then adhered my branches in a wreath shape on top of my card base that I die cut using the Stitched Notes die set, and then added my flowers on top. To finish the flowers off I added clear droplets in the middle. I found they gave the perfect touch!

I stamped my sentiment from the Thoughtful Greetings stamp set in the center of the wreath and that’s it for my card!

It was my first time using my watercolor markers directly on my stamp and I really like the way it turned out! Thank you so very much for joining me today!!

Pretty Pink Posh Stamptember Exclusive Set

I’m so excited to announce we are releasing another exclusive, limited edition stamp set for STAMPtember® over at Simon Says Stamp! We have been known for releasing cute stamp sets but recently, I’ve been getting requests for some elegant designs and I thought we would give that a try for this special exclusive set set called Damask Greetings.

Joni here sharing the set called Damask Greetings exclusively designed for Simon Says Stamp by Pretty Pink Posh. This set is very elegant and perfect for so many occasions.

For my first card I cut an A2 black cardstock, then splattered it with Gansai Tambi Starry Colors set.

Next, I stamped one of the image from the Damask Greetings using four different color, then cut. For the sentiment, I stamped it on a black cardstock using Versamark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Next, I adhered the damask and sentiment with foam tape for dimensions.

For my next card, I used a different damask images to create my background, one using light yellow ink pad and the other a gray.

For my focal point, I stamped a different damask image in black to give it a bold look.

The sentiment was from the same set stamped in black. I also used one of the new Stacked Edges 1 Dies. For the little gold bow, this was die-cut from the Reindeer Friends Die set.

To finish off I adhered everything on using a foam tape and added some sequins in Lemon Meringue 4mm and 6mm.

September Product Release Blog Hop- Day 2

If you missed yesterday’s blog hop post, click here.

Suzy here with you today and we have a brand new batch of inspiration. Today I am showing off the darling Trick or Treat Friends stamp and die set. There are so many cute images in this set allowing you to create adorable Halloween scenes. I added a couple of the new stand-alone dies to this card as well.

I started the card with a black card base and a white stitched rectangle that I painted with small black watercolor dots.  Next, I used the new Stacked Edges 1 Dies to create the “ground” on my card. I watercolored these pieces with black watercolor and then outlined them with a black gel pen. I attached two pieces to the bottom of the card to complete the background.

To create the scene on the front, I used the large pumpkin from the new Stitched Foliage Dies. I painted it with orange watercolors and added shading with a gel pen. I stamped all of the Trick or Treat Friends images on white cardstock with a light color ink and colored them in with Copic markers. I added details and shading with gel pens. I attached all of the images on the card background creating a cute little trick or treat scene.

I added a sentiment from the Everyday Greetings Stamp Set stamped in black ink. I used a speech bubble from the Stitched Speech Bubbles Dies for the sentiment. I outlined the stitches in the speech bubble with a black gel pen so it stood out more from the background. I added some 4mm Tangerine Sequins over the speech bubble to finish the card.

Ready to hop along and see LOTS more fabulous inspiration with this release?

September Product Release Blog Hop- Day 1

Don’t forget to hop in our day 2 post HERE!

Hello there! It’s Marge here, one of the newer PPP social media designers.

Today I’m sharing two cards I made featuring the Reindeer Friends Stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh. I really loved the super cute reindeer and coloring them was so fun.

For the first card, I stamped the images and colored them all using copic markers, and then cut the images using the coordinating die set.

I die cut a piece of fun foam using our Tic Tac Toe Die which is also from the new release. Then I made a small shaker in the center square of the tic tac toe die cut by gluing acetate films on both sides of the square and putting Metallic Gold Confetti Mix in it. I die cut a piece of white card stock with Tic Tac Toe Die again, and glued it onto the fun foam die cut.

I used a pattern paper for yellow snowy background. After putting the Tic Tac Toe frame on a background paper, I laid pieces of the reindeer friends stamp set using foam tape and I also used pieces from the Angel Friends Stamp Set.

The sentiment was heat embossed using white embossing powder on a black card stock. The final touch was adding some Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix and Metallic Gold Sequins. I used copic markers E27, YR27, YR24,YR23  and YR21 for coloring reindeers. For red colors I usually prefer combination of R39, R29,and R27.
For the second card, I did the same with the Reindeer Friends Stamp set. To make a winter scene, I incorporated trees from the Holiday Pals Stamp Set, and the banner from the Angel Friends Stamp Set.
​
To make a snowy hill, I cut a white card stock using Stitched Borders 2 Dies, then foam mounted it onto a patterned paper. Then I laid each stamped image here and there, and the final touch was adding some Metallic Gold Confetti Mix.

Ready to hop along and see LOTS more fabulous inspiration with this release?

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. I’m giving away 4 $25 gift certificates to four random comments (2 winners each day) left before September 19, 2017 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!

Tutorial: Watercolors on Die Cuts

Hello everyone, Joni here sharing the new Stitched Foliage Dies. These dies set are not only perfect for fall but it can work for everyday use as well.

To begin, I first die-cut the pieces on a watercolor paper.

Then, I watercolored some of the pieces with Prima Marketing Metallic Semi-Watercolor Cake.

Next, I cut an A2 watercolor panel and watercolored using golden yellow and black as my background. Let it dry, then I added some watercolor splatter using the same golden yellow color and let it dry.

I also watercolor another A2 card with a light aqua color, let it dry and then die-cut using the Scallop Oval Dies (large oval). I then die-cut 3 more oval so I can adhere one on top of the other to make a sturdy die-cut piece. I also used the leaf from Happy Turkey Stamp set, watercolored and die-cut using the Happy Turkey Coordinating Dies.

Next, I stamped the sentiment from Thoughtful Greetings on a center of my panel. Then die-cut a gold star from the new Angel Friends Coordinating Dies and adhered on the card. I also added the new Marshmallow Confetti Mix to finish the card.

Be sure to mark your calendar for later this week. We are having our two day blog hop with lots of special guests using our new release.

I hope you guys enjoyed today’s tutorial! Until next time. Have an amazing day!

Sneak Peek: Reindeer Friends

Good morning! Heather here to share a card with you using some of the BRAND NEW stamps, dies, and embellishments coming to Pretty Pink Posh in September! Seriously – there is some ADORABLE stuff coming I can’t even stand it! Today I get to reveal a look of the Reindeer Friends stamp set!

I absolutely LOVE these darling new Reindeer Friends – ACK! So much cuteness! I colored them in with Copics and then made some snowy hillsides for them to sit, walk, or jump on by using another new die – Stacked Edges 1 – paired up with the previously released Stitched Pieces die. (As always, I love how PPP products always work so well together with each other – new or old!). I filled them full of the new Marshmallow Confetti Mix, then sprinkled on a few snowflakes from last years Snowflake Sequin Mix.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek. Be sure to join us tomorrow as we reveal all of the new products.
