It’s been about four months since the last challenge I posted where YOU could share your Pretty Pink Posh creations. This is the perfect opportunity for me (and others) to see your stunning work. Many of my designers started as customers and once I saw their work, I invited them to join the team. Now is the time for YOU to share your creativity and beautiful works of art!
I pulled four different cards that some of my designers have created with a rainbow theme to serve as inspiration for this challenge. You could be inspired by the colors they used, stamps, layouts… it’s really up to you and your interpretation!

If you are social on Instagram, be sure to hashtag #prettypinkposh and tag me @prettypinkposh so I can be sure to see your work there as well! I love seeing what my customers and readers create and as I’m looking to the upcoming months, I just may be in need of some new talent to join the team as a guest designer for new releases!
Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie here with you today to share some Rainbow Theme Week inspiration on using your Distress Inks and Copics together to create a fun birthday card!
I really love the playful appearance of the Stitched Speech Bubble die set; the added stitching detail around the edges of the finishes the dies off perfectly.
For the coloring on the speech bubble dies I used Distress Inks in the following colors: Festive Berries, Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet. On all the speech bubbles I also used my Distress Sprayer to add fun water droplets, which add a lot of interest!
The stamps I used for this card is the Cool Cat set from My Favorite Things; aren’t they adorable? They paired so well with these speech bubble dies, it was like a match made in heaven!
All of the critters are colored with Copics… I used the following colors for the cats: C00, C1, C3, C5, C7, R20, R21. I ended up fussy cutting these cats out with scissors, but you could get the coordinating dies instead.
And of course, no card would be complete without some fabulous sequins from Pretty Pink Posh! I used my absolute favorite Sparkling Clear sequins and scattered them about on the card… they add just the right amount of sparkle and shine and I LOVE the result!
Be sure to watch the video below to see how this entire card came together! If you enjoy, be sure to give it a “thumbs up” and subscribe to our YouTube channel for more inspiration!
I hope today’s card has inspired you to pull out your Pretty Pink Posh products and create some fabulous rainbow themed cards of your own! Thanks so much for spending some time with me and I hope you’ll stop back again soon!
Amy here as a guest designer. I’m so excited to join Pretty Pink Posh Rainbow theme week!!! I love rainbow colors on my cards! They make my recipients so happy! So today, I am whipping up some colorful flowers.
Here is what I come up with. More details below:
Stamp some flowers from Altenew Wild Hibiscus set onto watercolor paper using a brown waterproof ink. Stamp a separate flower onto another piece of paper
Loosely watercolor them with distress inks. Leave out one of the flowers so I can overlay it with my pink flower. Blend some Antique Linen distress ink at the corner. Add some texture with water droplets, then gold and white watercolor splatters
I die cut some white card stock using Stitched Film Strip Die for 4 times and adhered them together for a thick window. Adhere everything with glue and foam tape
Heather here to share a card for this week’s Rainbow Theme at Pretty Pink Posh!
I started off by watercoloring a rainbow background, then created a window shaker using the newStorybook 4 Die. I die cut it out of kids fun foam as well as the gray cardstock – an easy way to create separate windows for my shaker.
I added a white frame with the larger size of the Scallop Frames to set it all off, and stamped my sentiment from Birdie Friends on the inside.
Shannon here today to share a rainbow card I created for rainbow theme week! I decided I wanted to make a rainbow completely out of sequins! So that’s exactly what I did! I’m in love with the new 4 mm iridescent sequins and I thought this was a perfect way to show them off!
I started off creating my rainbow by just adhering my sequins to the paper but I noticed my rows were just wonky and did not look like a rainbow at all so I found something circular in my craft room to trace a faint half circle with. In my case I just used a roll of painters tape but you can use whatever you have on hand that would give you a good guide to start making your rainbow. After I had my rainbow traced out I started adhering my sequins following my traced line, changing colors of sequins each row. I found the best way to adhere the sequins down were to use the Zots bling dots which are just teeny tiny glue dots. I found this worked best simply because I could move my sequins around if I found I wasn’t lining them up the way I liked it.
I used the following sequin colors all in 4mm to create the rainbow:
Now that my rainbow is done onto the rest of my card, I stamped my clouds from the Rainy Days stamp set. My blue clouds are stamped with Bashful Blue ink from Stampin up and then I went in with a blue Copic marker on the edges. My larger cloud was stamped with Lavender ink from SSS.
I fussy cut my clouds out leaving a small white border and adhered towards the top of my rainbow with some fun foam to give them some dimension.
I die cut the Scallop Frames die out of white cardstock to frame my card, I also adhered some fun foam on the back of my frame to pop it up to the same dimension of my clouds. Lastly, I stamped the ‘Brighter Days’ sentiment in Dusty Concord Distress ink and the ‘Wishing You’ part of the sentiment in just black ink from SSS.
That’s it for my rainbow card today!! I just love how the rainbow full of sequins turned out!
Thanks for joining me today! Stay tuned… we have more rainbow themed cards this week AND a little birdie told me we’ll have a challenge coming soon.

Today we are starting our Rainbow Theme Week on the Pretty Pink Posh blog! Here, I choose Pastel Rainbow colors featuring Rainy Days stamp set. Actually, I challenged myself to stretch my stamp set to create a set of card with pastel rainbow colors :)
My first set of card is happy clouds card in framed using Scallop Frames Dies. I white heat embossed the clouds and blended with distress ink pad.
Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and I have a Get Well card with a DIY rainbow die cut background to share today.
I love to create unique and one of a kind backgrounds for my cards and I find dies to be great tools for this task. Today I’m inviting you to use one of the Pretty Pink Posh border dies to create a rainbow background.
To minimize the use of supplies (such as watercolor paper) and time I first cut a rectangle out of watercolor paper (I knew I wanted to use distress inks and add a lot of water, so I needed my paper to be able to absort water and not warp) and using a border die from the Stitched Borders 1 set cut the panel into 8 curved sections.
The number of sections was not random, I knew I wanted to have a background that resembled a rainbow, so I needed to make sure to have 7 die cut elements, the 8th one, the one on the bottom was discarded as I planned to have a bit of white space on the base of the card. If you don’t want any white space and would rather have the rainbow cover the entire card front, go with 7 sections.
The next step is all about adding color to the die cut pieces. There are a number of ways this can be done depending on the look you’d like to get. I went with Distress inks (the colors I used are: Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon, Wild Honey, Crushed Olive, Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves). You can also use watercolors, alcohol markers, ink pads or even die cut individual sections out of colored cardstock.
After blending each color rather heavily onto the paper, I added lots of water drops to activate Distress inks and create beautiful effects on my background. I worked in layers – added a first layer of drops, let the water sit on the paper for about a minute, soaked up extra water with a rag, dried the paper with my heat tool and repeated the process a few more times to get the look I wanted.
Tip: You can also heat emboss outline images onto the die background in white embossing powder to add some additional texture (do so before blending ink or watercoloring to save time).
Once I was happy with the result I adhered my die cut panels onto a white cardstock panel using a tape runner and that finished the background for my card. You can also adhere these directly to the card base.
To embellish this project I first stamped and die cut an umbrella from the Rainy Days stamp set, it was a perfect match to go with my rainbow. Because the rainbow background ended up being vibrant I needed to create some sort of screen to mute a part of it and to also house the umbrella and the sentiment.
I used the smaller circle die from the Scallop Circles Die set and die cut it out of white cardstock to serve as a frame, the inner section was die cut out of vellum to serve as screen. To be able to adhere these together and to adhere onto the card (and make sure the adhesive would not be visible from under the vellum) I also die cut two clouds using dies from the Rainy Days Coordinating Die set. I did not stamp the clouds, but only used the dies on their own as I feel stamping wasn’t necessary here, these clouds have a perfect shape.
I adhered both of the clouds onto the scalloped circle and this way was able to attach the vellum to the frame. The clouds also let me hide the adhesive to adhere vellum to the background.
Lastly, I heat embossed a Get Well Soon sentiment in white embossing powder over black cardstock for a pop of contrast, adhered it onto the umbrella and foam mounted the latter over the cloud cluster. I also added a little branch from the Holiday Pals stamp set stamped in light pink ink and embellished the card with my favorite clear sequins and small Clear Droplets(I adhered those over the largest sequins).
Hello there everyone! It’s Nina-Marie here with you today and I have a fun set of shaker cards to share with you that feature not only a bunch of Pretty Pink Posh’s fabulous new iridescent 4mm sequins, but ALSO all four of the Storybook dies in the Storybook collection! Oh and did I mention that the shaker cards I am creating are RAINBOW shaker cards????
I love making shaker cards and the Storybook dies from Pretty Pink Posh are SO perfect for making cute little shakers! My favorite from the Storybook collection is the new Storybook 4 die; I love all the tiny squares! I actually used this die in another video not too long ago to create a “peek-a-boo” card… you might want to check out after you’ve finished up this post; you can find it on the Pretty Pink Posh blog here.
And since I was turning these Storybook dies into shakers, I thought this would be a perfect way to showcase the GORGEOUS new iridescent sequin colors! So I used a rainbow assortment (literally!) of 4mm and 6mm sequins to create my shakers. The colors I used are as follows:
Yes, I know that’s a lot of sequins, but the result is SO worth it! Be sure to check out the video below to see how I created this card set from start to finish! If you enjoy, please give the video a big thumbs up and subscribe to our channel for more inspiration!
I wanted to let you know that I’ll be having a sale for Memorial Day weekend. If you follow my shop, you know that I keep my prices as low as possible on a day to day basis, which is why I don’t often have sales. However, every now and then I like to offer sales and I thought this holiday weekend was the perfect time to do one!
I hope that many of you are able to take advantage of the savings. I filled the shop up with tons of inventory, so hopefully there’s enough to go around!
Hello! Amy K. here and it’s Throwback Thursday with a look back at some of your favorite Pretty Pink Posh dies. This is a great time to pull out some of the older dies and create something new!
One of my favorite die sets from Pretty Pink Posh is the Stitched Photo Frame Dies. These dies are PERFECT for creating some mini cards and make them into tiny shakers! I’ve used the largest of the Stitched Photo Frame Dies for this trio of shaker cards. The photo frame has the perfect place to stamp sentiments that are just fun little “pick me up” phrases from Birdie Friends and Birdie Notes. For each mini shaker, I’ve added some of my favorite Pretty Pink Posh sequin mixes! Here’s a little about each mini shaker:
I stamped and Copic colored the largest birdie from Birdie Friends and die cut with the coordinating die. The sentiment, from Birdie Notes, was stamped onto my Stitched Photo Frame. The sequin mix called Sunny Days (which was limited edition) was used for this shaker.
I stamped and Copic colored the puppy from Holiday Pals and die cut with the coordinating die. The sentiment, from Birdie Friends, was stamped onto my Stitched Photo Frame. The sequin mix called Wisteria Blossoms was used for this shaker.
I stamped and Copic colored the bunny from Holiday Pals and die cut with the coordinating die. The sentiment, from Birdie Friends, was stamped onto my Stitched Photo Frame. The sequin mix called Sweet Pea was used for this shaker.
I can’t wait to give these out with a short handwritten note inside! Who doesn’t love a shaker card?
Along with the great mini cards that Amy has shared with us, I have a few cards that have used the Stitched Photo Frames in the past. Click on the photos below to see the original post from the designers.
Thanks for visiting the blog today! I hope you’ll join us tomorrow… I have info on a sale I’ll be having in the shop!
