Hello! Amy K. here with my card for the Pretty Pink Posh Easter Theme Week. The design team has shared many ideas using the newest Easter products over the past few days. Make sure to check them all out!
I wanted to create a card with the bunny image, from Easter Friends, popping out of windows. Pretty Pink Posh has lots of choices for dies when it comes to this technique. I chose to use the Stitched Pieces Die. I created a white panel using this die as it cuts the rounded rectangles out leaving stitching on the negative piece. I used the negative piece, trimmed down, and rounded the corners to match. To a top folding card, I added some plaid pattern paper and added my white die cut Stitched Pieces panel with foam adhesive. I didn’t want the pattern paper behind my images so I used the rounded rectangles cut earlier and lightly blended Distress Inks in shades that matched the pattern paper. These were adhered through the “windows”.
My images were Copic colored and die cut using the Easter Friends Die Set. Then I decided where all my elements were going to go. Once this was done, I used the “Hi!” sentiment from Everyday Greetings Stamp Set and stamped it in each window. Using a non-Easter sentiment, made this a card that could be given anytime in the spring (if you left off the colored eggs!) Now the fun part was assembling! My bunnies were popped up with foam adhesive from each window tucking the bottom into the frame. One little colored egg was added to each bunny to carry. To finish, a few sequins from the Friendship Sequin Mix were added for some sparkle.
We hope you’ve been enjoying our posts this week. We have two more days of Easter inspiration- stay tuned!
Hello everyone! Amanda here today to bring you more Easter inspiration for our theme week!
For my first project I’ve used the Easter Friends stamp set and coordinated dies together with a couple of stamps from the Bee friends set (releasing in May). I colored all the images with Copic Markers and added a few details with colored pencils.
Since it was a very simple scene, I framed the card using the Stitched Notes die set to add a bit of interest. I also attached a few Sparkling clear sequins in different sizes as a final touch.
My second project is a tag that I made using the same stamp set (Easter Friends) and also the Everyday Greetings stamp set for the sentiment.
The images are also colored with Copic Markers and cut with its coordinated dies. For the background I blended three colors of Distress Oxide Inks (Wilted Violet, Worn Lipstick and Fossilized Amber) and spraid a bit of water on top of it. The soft sequins gave the card a very sweet final touch.
And that’s all from me today! I hope you liked it. Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!
Hello Pretty Pink Posh friends! Shannon here, so happy to join you today for part of the Easter Theme Week! For my card today I used the adorable new Easter Friends stamp set to create a cute shaker card.
To start my card off, I used a light blue A2 sized card based and stamped the patterned Easter eggs in the stamp set in the same colored ink all over for a tone on tone background. Moving on to the fun shaker area, I used the Scallop Circle die with some purple card stock to cut out my circle, I also die cut a piece of fun foam with a die to use as my dimension to create my shaker piece, however you can use foam adhesive, I just didn’t feel like cutting it down into thin strips and I prefer that the fun foam is a little thinner. Once I had my acetate attached to my scallop circle along with my foam for dimension it’s on to adding all the sequins and elements.
I wanted to be able to see the background of my card through the shaker, which makes it a little trickier to add the elements without a backing, what I find easiest is to put something heavy on the card to hold it down and then place all the sequins and seed beads in a small area where you want the shaker piece and then adhere the shaker element right on top. For my shaker I used the Hydrangea beads, Lilac beads, Clear Confetti mix , 3mm Sparkling Clear sequins and I also added a few colored Easter eggs in there that I colored in with Copic markers and cut out using the coordinating dies from the stamp set.
I stamped my cute little Easter bunny and the rest of the images on white card stock, colored in with Copic markers and cut out again using the coordinating dies. I adhered my images onto my shaker element and stamped my sentiment to finish my card off!
I hope you enjoyed my Easter shaker card created with the adorable new Easter Friends stamp set. Thank you so much for joining me today!
Hello and welcome to Pretty Pink Posh! Lisa here today sharing a card for our Easter Theme week using Easter Blessings Stamps and Dies. I have a step by step tutorial that shows just how simple this card was to make!
To begin, cut an opening in a card base and patterned paper using the Stitched Duo 3 Die.
With the card base closed, draw a light pencil line along the bottom open edge. Open the card and stamp your sentiment.
Next you will need two die cut crosses. Color one then adhere the blank one to the back of it. This covers any marker color that seeps through. When this card is open, the back of the cross will show on the inside.
Sandwich the cross between two pieces of clear acetate. I used a thin layer of spray adhesive on the back of the cross. Use your stamped sentiment as a guideline for the cross placement. Add the acetate layers to the card base front.
Adhere the patterned paper to the front of the card.
Stamp just the lily blooms several times then fussy cut them. Add them to the card front along with a sprinkling of Sweet Pea Sequins.
And there you have it! Something extra special for the recipient that didn’t take long at all!
Be sure to join us everyday this week for more Easter inspiration in a variety of styles from the design team. Thanks for joining us today!
Hi crafty friends! Lexa here today with a card for Pretty Pink Posh Easter Theme Week. It will be so much fun, stay tuned for more amazing inspirations everyday this week.
A few days ago Paulina shared an amazing idea she saw by Heather. She created flower petals with the vase from Friends Forever Stamp Set. I really was in awe so I couldn’t wait to try it too and it turned out so cute! I added 6mm Clear Droplets in the center of each flowers. I choose springy candy colors for my card in pink, lilac and yellow. The little girl with bunny ears is carrying a basket full of eggs from Easter Friends Stamp Set as the star of this card.
I started my card with some background blending use Distress Inks and a stencil. Then I stamped all the images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. The purple Scallop Frames is a perfect way to keep your images in place. I mix the Easter Friends with Easter Blessings Stamp Set, a piece of burlap, a beautiful cross and “Easter Blessings” sentiment to complete my card.
Last but not least, I add some Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix to finish my card. You will never have enough sequins in your life, especially this one, I’ve been using this a lot. Here’s a closer look of my card…
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Be sure to join us everyday this week for more Easter inspiration. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
We are excited to be participating in a blog hop hosted by A Blog Named Hero. They are celebrating their fifth anniversary and since we have previously sponsored their challenge, they invited us to join in the festivities this weekend for their two day blog hop packed full of prizes and inspiration!
Today the talented Jeanne has created a special card for this occasion. I always adore the way Jeanne creates vibrant and fun backgrounds and this card is no exception. She used the Stitched Borders 3 die set and die cut the wide strip in a variety of colors. Imagine all the fun color combinations you could do with this concept!
Celebrations to me mean bright colors, confetti and balloons. The star confetti was made with stars from the Mini Tags die set cut from gold glitter paper. If you don’t want bulkiness or too much height, these little die cuts are a great way to get some sparkle onto your projects.
The little girl and balloons are from the new Friends Forever set and the sentiment is from the Everyday Greetings set. These sets are quickly becoming a favorite for many and it’s easy to see why- they are just so fun and versatile!
The little bow at the top is part of the Twine and Bows die set. This is such a unique set and if you like the look of bows, but maybe aren’t the best at making perfect bows, or again, don’t want to add bulkiness to your card, this set is a MUST HAVE!
If you get lost on the blog hop, head over to the A Blog Named Hero blog for all the links.

To begin, I first drew a cup image using my pencil.
Next, I used my Gansai Tambi watercolor to create some very simple flowers for my cup.
Next, I watercolor the cup. For the card base I watercolored the background using Tim Holtz Distress inks in Tattered Rose and Mustard Seed. Then stamped the sentiment from Friends Forever stamp set.
Next, I die-cut the whole card panel using the new Stitched Notes dies and added some foam tape on the frame for added dimension. As for the girls on this set they were colored with Copic markers. To finish the card, I added the new Friendship Sequins Mix.

Hello Everyone, Joni here sharing another way to use the Easter Blessings and Easter Friends stamp set as a non – Easter card. For this project, I also used the Bee Friends and Everyday Greetings stamp sets. If you missed the March release, the Bee Friends stamp set were part of the free gift if you spend $80 and if you spend $125 you also get the die set, really cool deal.
To begin I first gather all my images and colored them with Copic Markers. I also used the coordinating dies.
Next, distressed my card panel with Tim Holtz Distress inks in Scattered Straw and Evergreen Bough. Next, I die-cut my panel with the new Stitched Notes dies. Then, stamped my sentiment “get well soon” from Everyday Greetings stamp set with Color Box in Ocean pigment ink. Then, added the Clear Embossing powder on top of the sentiment and heat set.
I just want to show you the color after embossing, really nice light aqua.
Next, I added some gold splatter using Gansai Tambi Starry Colors on the distressed panel. I also added the bee trail image from the Bee Friends stamp set. For added interest and another way to use the Daffodil Seed Beads, I put a chunk of Multi Medium Matte on the bottom of the panel and adhered the seed beads there. Just wait for a few minutes because the glue should dry.
Today we have a special post by Lori Hairston, one of the guests in our March blog hop. She showed me a picture of these handmade baskets that don’t require a fancy die and I knew we had to showcase it here on the blog.
Let’s take a look at her post and video, shall we?
Hi, there! I’m happy to be here to share these mini Easter picnic baskets. So fun to make and they turn out adorable, especially when topped off with that sweet little bunny from the Easter Friendsstamp set! The bunny and egg are cut out with the coordinating dies and the tag is part of the Stitched Notes Dies.
What is it about Easter baskets? I’ve always loved them. When I was little I used the same one every year. One that was passed down from my uncle. My daughter, Lauren, used the exact same Easter basket and I’m keeping it for Louisa. She’ll be the fourth generation to use it. It’s old, it’s worn, but I love it!
I’ve sized these to hold 2 plastic eggs. Even though they’re mini, they’ll hold plenty to give as an Easter treat.
You can check out the video to see how easy the baskets are to make and there’s a couple of quick tips on the tag, too.Click the graphic below to watch it!
Louisa (even though she’s only 4 1/2 months old) is definitely getting one of these. Her momma can keep it and put it out every year. If you make an Easter Picnic Basket to give away, I bet it will be loved enough to keep from year to year.
Today we’re in for a special treat. Jeanne is on the blog sharing a sweet card and we’re participating in a mini blog hop with our friends on the CardMaker blog, along with sponsoring a giveaway in this post!
Spring is in the air and everything is new again! Are you checking the new releases in the store? It’s fun and fresh and certain to make you want to start creating! I’m playing with the new Easter Blessings stamp set today! It’s a set of three stamps, and there are coordinating dies to make cutting a breeze!
Today I’m showing the Easter lily stamp. It wouldn’t be Easter without them! Our church always has hundreds of lilies on the altar – the sight and smell is amazing! It’s traditional for me to buy one for my mom every year too! I was so tempted to color up this pretty image in pink – like a Stargazer Lily, but decided the traditional white was the way to go (this time anyway!). I snuck in a little hot pink on the pot so my color lust is satisfied.
I made a simple ombre wash background for the potted lily. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink directly on the watercolor paper and cut the panel with the new Stitched Notes Die.
The Stitched Notes die has stitching on the inside and outside of the die cut line. I really love the size of the die cut! It’s perfect for an A2 size card and leaves just enough edge around the sides to let your colored or pattern papers peek out!
I wanted to repeat the ombre watercolor wash colors on those peeking edges so I created a panel with three shades of aqua.
Some Sparkling Clear Sequins are like dew drops for our pretty flowers! This image brings back lots of great memories and has me pining for one of my own. Until they are back in season I will be satisfied with this pretty stamp!
As we mentioned earlier, we’re taking part in a mini blog hop and we’re the last stop. Here’s all the stops:
