Hello friends! I am so happy you are joining me for another video tutorial, this time featuring a fun circle shaker card and Copic coloring techniques!
I love the Scallop Circle dies, which are one of Pretty Pink Posh’s fabulous, exclusive die sets! These dies are perfect for creating windows, shakers, frames and more. Today I’ve used the die to create both a shaker and a frame for the Copic colored flower scene inside.
The flower is from Hero Art’s Marianne’s Flowers stamp set; Isn’t that rose pretty? I used my Copic markers to color the rose and background.
In the video I have for you (see below), I’ll be walking you through the coloring, as well as how I created texture on the leaves and sky. For reference, I’ve listed out the Copic colors used in today’s project below and in the video:
Rose: RV00, R81, R83, R85
Leaves: YG61, YG63, YG67, YG97
Stem: E42, E84, E87
Background: BG01
To see how I put this card together, be sure to check out the video below or over on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel! Please give it a big thumbs up and subscribe for more creative inspiration!
Julia here with a shaker card featuring the awesome heart shaped confetti in the colors gold, silver, and iridescent. The confetti pieces are very small, and they are flat, which makes them absolutely perfect for a shaker card without much bulk!
I started out by die cutting a scalloped edge on the long side of some pink card stock using one of the dies from the Stitched Borders 1 die set. I just love the little stitched detail in each scallop – it’s details like this that take a card design to the next level.
Next, I used the Scallop Circles die to die-cut a window into my pink panel. You get a circular shape (the outside edge of the die), but the die gives you another – second – piece which is circular with a scallop border on the inside.
I die cut that shape again from silver glitter paper and then adhered it on top of some acetate – the acetate was adhered to the back of my pink panel with some adhesive tape. I added some foam tape on the back of the panel around my window, making sure that I had a closed “border” which would hold my sequins securely. I poured the confetti on my card base and then adhered the front panel to it, trapping the sequins.
My cute birdie, which I colored with Copic Markers, is from the Birdie Notes mini stamp set. I fussy cut mine with scissors, but there’s a matching die set if you don’t want to fiddle. This cute little set would be perfect for decorating an envelope as well.
I added a few white dots into each scallop on the edges as decoration. I also traced the outline of the Scallop Circle Die with my gel pen for addition contrast. Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you got inspired!
Today I am here with a fun, new tutorial on how to make your own baby dress card for a baby shower!
To begin I first distressed the white card panel and die-cut the top part of the card panel with Pocket Border die(neck line of the dress).
Next, I die-cut the sides of the panel, slanted on both sides using the straight border die from Stitched Border dies 2.
Next, I cut the bottom of the panel and made another on a strip of cardstock using Stitched Borders 3 dies.
For the sleeves of the dress I used the square die-cut from Storybook 4 dies.
Here’s just to show you pieces of the dress. The bunny and bow die-cut images were from the Holiday Pals Stamp set and Coordinating dies. The sentiment (sweet girl) was from the Lawn Fawn Hello Baby stamp set.
I also distressed the white card base and adhered the dress with foam tape for dimension.
For the final touches for the dress I added some Sparkling Clear sequins in 6mm for the neck line and 4mm all around the dress.
I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial. Thank you so much for stopping by.
Hi Jeanne here today with a fun project to share! This “Just a Little Note” card is bright and sunny and sure to brighten your day!
I started by debossing the Stitched Banner Duo 2 die on a panel of white card stock. Debossing is easy – instead of cutting the die with your cutting place, you simply put a rubber embossing matt and special plate through your machine so it presses the design into the paper instead of cutting it out. Be sure to follow the directions provided by your machine manufacturer.
I wanted to add more definition to the debossed image so I cut the Stitched Banner Duo 2 a second time from a piece of scrap paper. Holding the die cut banner over the debossed one I distressed along the edges of the die cut to create a soft yellow glow.
Then I got to work on my layout. I knew I wanted to place the little chickie from Birdie Notes inside the banner. I stamped a sentiment just under where she would be, and some musical notes that would be around her head.
I stamped and die cut the birdie (the coordinating die cuts make this a breeze) and attached a wobbler to the back. I had to trim the wobbler to size to fit the back of the die cut shape. This doesn’t affect the spring action unless you cut the coiled plastic.
What a surprise when you touch the little chickie!! This is so fun to see the little chickie “wiggle it”!
You know I can’t resist my bling – I attached a few Sunshine Glow sequins to make me happy!
Hello! Welcome back to the Throwback Thursday post with Amy here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog. This is a time where I highlight an older but wonderful die in the Pretty Pink Posh collection.
I chose to work with the Stitched Duo 3 and use just that inside die as the base for my “window” pane. I’ve die cut my window out of a trimmed white panel and added clear cardstock behind to begin my rain shaker card. To create my shaker, I’ve added some flat Aquamarine sequins, 4mm Marshmallow sequins, and Sparkling Clear Sead Beads. To finish my shaker, I added a piece of grey cardstock behind as the dark sky. This also helps to be able to “move” your shaker where ever on your card.
I die cut several clouds from Rainy Days and stamped the frown face onto them. To brighten up the card, I added a red stamped umbrella which was die cut using the matching dies. The smallest Scallop Squares Diesfit over my window panes perfectly to give it some character. My sentiment was stamped below the window sill and a red bakers twine bow was added. This card would certainly cheer up a friend!
Along with this darling card that Amy has shared with us, I have a few cards that have used the Stitched Duo 3 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 are inspired to create new cards using this older die set!
Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and I have a video tutorial to share today featuring one of my favorite dies from Pretty Pink Posh – Stitched Duo 2.
I really love using dies to create unique die cut backgrounds and today I’m expanding the pattern of the Stitched Duo 2 die to create a diagonal stip on my card front.
To learn more, please watch my video tutorial below.
The trick to create a background like I have on my card is rather simple. All you need to do for perfect spacing is to die cut the first set of circles and than snap top row of circles of your die with the bottom row of the die cut circles (negatives) on your panel. From there you can expand the pattern however many times you like, you can expand it going just up or down or in all 4 ways to have an entire die cut background for a card.
To decorate my card I decided to use images from 2 sets – Holiday Pals(I used a little branch) and Birdie Friends(used a nest and a chick). I stamped several branches using a couple colors of yellow and green and also stamped 3 chicks and colored all using Copic Markers. All of them were die cut using matching dies.
Die cut backgrounds like these can also be die cut out of colored cardstock and mounted onto white card base. Here’s a close up of another card where the panel was die cut out of gray and foam mounted onto white:
Hello friends! It’s Nina-Marie here with you today and I have a video tutorial to share with you showing how to create pearlized watercolor effects using Zig Clean Color markers and the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors watercolor palette. I’ll also be using a few Pretty Pink Posh products as well and I think you’re going to really enjoy today’s post… so let’s get started!
For those of you unfamiliar with this product, the Starry Colors watercolors are a pearl-tinted palette that has a collection of six different gold, water-based pigments. I wanted to use these with my Zig Clean Color markers to create a pearlized effect and the result is stunning! Pictures don’t really do the intense shimmer justice; in real life the shimmer is incredible!
The stamped images I used for this card are from Mama Elephant’s Freestyle Florals stamp set. The style of these images lend perfectly to the artistic style of watercoloring I did. I also used Pretty Pink Posh’s Storybook 2 die, Clear Droplets and Birdie Friends stamp set.
The video I created goes into all the details about the process of creating the pearlized watercolor effect, as well as how I put the entire card together, so I encourage you to check it out! If you enjoy, please give the video a big thumbs up and subscribe to our channel for more inspiration!
We also wanted to have a giveaway in this post for a 48 pack of the popular Zig Clean Color Markers, the Starry Colors watercolors and two water brushes. Enter the giveaway below…
Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here to share a couple of fun cards – something fun that I recently tried on a whim – sort of an optical illusion that makes it look like the shaker cards are overflowing with gold and silver Mini Star Confetti!
I started off by choosing a couple different pattern papers – I love to choose papers from a single paper pad, since they usually coordinate very well together! I die cut them using the two large layers of Decorative Tag 1 Dies – cutting the scallop portion also out of white cardstock, then piecing them together by alternating the center and outer portions – this way I can use both the negative and positive cuts! I saved the pattern scallops to use another time.
I used some simple Scotch single sided tape to tape the white scallop to the outer frame from the back, then some sturdy Score Tape to attach the acetate for the shaker window.
Before attaching the acetate, I used the outer portion to position and center the inner part by applying adhesive tape, setting the outer frame where I wanted it placed, then fitting the center oval in place…
…then lifting the outer frame to be able to add the acetate and foam for the shaker.
I added a cute sentiment to each one using Birdie Friends Stamp Set – I actually mixed these up, and was going to stamp the sentiments in reverse! Didn’t notice until it was too late! :)
Next, add some foam adhesive to build the shaker. I cut strips to make the proper length – since the roll is too wide to fit, then peel off the paper backing so that it easily bends around the shape of the tag.
Finally, add the shaker elements for the inside on top of the back panel, then adhere the front panel over the top!
Now for the overflowing part – add some random little dots of Glossy Accents on each side of the frame…
…and sprinkle on some of the confetti – shaking off the excess. Once dry, the Glossy Accents does a very good job of holding it on firmly – even if you might lose an occasional one here and there.
Here is a side view of them – isn’t it a fun effect?
Today I wanted to share with you a simple tutorial in the honor of the Rainbow theme week that we had on the Pretty Pink Posh blog last week! Using a rainbow theme is one of a simple ways we can send a cheerful message to our friends and loved ones.
To begin my card, I first use a cloud template (any cloud dies you have will do) I simply die-cut a cloud on a piece of white cardstock. I distressed the white card base using Distress Ink from Ranger.
Next, I distressed different pieces of white cardstock using Distress inks and die-cut each one using the Mini Tags die set.
For the bottom of my card base, I also distressed and splatter it with water using my watercolor brush for interest.
Next, assembly time! You can use almost any kind of die-cut letters you have, or you can substitute them for stickers or alphabet dies. The cute birdie is from an all-time favorite, the Birdie Notes mini stamp set.
Did you see that we have a Rainbow challenge happening on the blog? This is the perfect time to pull out your rainbow colored products and share it with us.
I hope you guys enjoyed, thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful week!
