Hi friends! It’s Dana here today with a colorful (and easy) Valentine’s Day card to share with you all.
I started my card by using theStitched Hearts, Eyelet Hearts, Big Valentine Cupcake die(green heart) and the single heart from the XOXO Border die (soft aqua heart) to die cut all of my hearts. I love how all of these dies can be mixed and matched and layered together to give you so many options. Once everything was die cut I attached my hearts to a mini slimline panel with foam adhesive.
Next, I used the Sentiment Strips: Valentine stamp setto stamp my sentiment. I stamped my sentiments with VersaMark ink and heat set it with white embossing powder and attached it to the bottom of my panel to finish my card.
Such a clean and simple card to create! Though I think the colorful hearts are a lot of fun and are sure to bring a smile to the recipient’s face.
Hello crafty friends! Rebecca here and I am so in LOVE with the latest release! One of my favorite things about a Pretty Pink Posh release is how well all of the supplies work together. In fact, today I am sharing a card that combines stamps, dies and stencils!
To create the background I used the Lattice Hearts Layering Stencils. This is a 2 pack of stencils. One creates tiny hearts and one creates a criss cross of stitches. You could use them separately, but when you combine them you create the sweetest hearts and stitches background!
Next I die cut several colors of hearts with the Eyelet Hearts Dies. I used the second largest heart which I cut out of light blue cardstock to match the background.
Then I stamped a bunch of images from the Sweet Chocolates stamp set. I love to color all the images and die cut them out with the Sweet Chocolates coordinating diesand then decide which I will use on my card. Any extras can stay organized in the stamp and die pocket for future cards.
At last comes the fun part of putting it all together! I love the look and interest that is created on a card by combining stenciling, die cutting and stamping!! The Pretty Pink Posh releases are meant to work together so have fun mixing and matching to your heart’s content!
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel today. I love a good box of chocolates, but a boxcard of chocolates is just too cute!
I started with die cutting all of the scallop dies from the Scallop Box Card Dies from a vanilla cream cardstock. Using the Layered Chocolates Stencils, I started with the (A) stencil with Ground Espresso Distress Ink, then the (B) stencil with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink, and finally the (C) stencil with Chocolate Stencil Butter.
While the stencil paste was drying, I stamped the candy images from the Sweet Chocolates stamp set with an alcohol marker friendly black ink and cut them out with the Sweet Chocolates coordinating dies. Using Ohuhu Art Honolulu Alcohol Markers, I colored my images in and you can see the colors in today’s video!
Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I’m super happy to be back on the blog with this bright and colorful card showcasing the gorgeous Big Valentine Cupcake and beautiful Half Hearts stencils.
I went all rainbow with this card, and started off by creating a colorful background using the Half Hearts stencils on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. Along with the stencil A, I used spun sugar, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, salvaged patina, tumbled glass and shaded lilac oxide inks. And along with the stencil B, I used kitsch flamingo, spiced marmalade, mustard seed, peacock feathers, salty ocean and wilted violet oxide inks. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a small brush to add splatters all over the panel, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink to bring a little bit of contrast.
Next I cut all the Big Valentine Cupcake pieces, and colored them using oxide inks again. Here are the colors I used for each element: • cupcake case: spun sugar + kitsch flamingo • heart: shaded lilac + wilted violet • cupcake & cookies: antique linen + vintage photo • rainbow cream: shaded lilac + tumbled glass + salvaged patina + squeezed lemonade + dried marigold + spun sugar • flag: salvaged patina + peacock feathers.
I also cut the pole for the flag out of a light gray cardstock, and three small hearts out of a gold mirror cardstock.
I cut the largest Eyelet Heart out of vellum, and assembled my cupcake right on top of it using 1mm foam squares, and then I attached the vellum heart on my Half Hearts panel using liquid glue.
Finally, I white heat embossed my “Hugs & kisses” greeting from Sentiment Strips: Valentine, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached it on the cupcake case using foam squares again. And that’s it! Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you soon!
Hello friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today sharing a PUP-cake Valentine’s Day card. If you would like to see how I made my card, watch my video on YouTube.
For the background of my card, I used the Half Heart stencils. I love these stencils because you can use different color inks for each side of the heart. I used the following inks:
Layer A – Distress Oxide, Abandoned Coral Ink Layer B – Distress Oxide Seedless Preserves Ink
Cupcake: Sand (dog), Flesh Color (dog’s eye), Sugar Almond Pink (nose), Purple and Light Carmine (cupcake wrapper), Light Carmine (heart). I used the Blender marker to blend the colors.
I added the stamps to two Eyelet Hearts. I used the largest die in the set and inked each side of the heart with the same color Distress Oxide inks I used for the stencil — Abandoned Coral and Seedless Preserves. I die cut another heart from white cardstock and layered it on top.
I die cut the Be Mine Shadow from white cardstock and colored it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in Purple and Light Carmine. I used a water brush to blend the colors.
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a sweet day! Lisa Mears
Hello crafty friends! It’s Dana here today with a colorful St. Patrick’s Day card to share with you all.
I started my card by making my card panel with the Simple Strips die. I die cut a rainbow of cardstock strips and attached them to my panel in rainbow order. Next, I used the Shamrock Shaker die to die cut a large shamrock out of a white panel. I then attached the panel over my rainbow with foam adhesive. I love all the clean white space with the colorful strips showing from behind.
For my sentiment I used the Lucky Shadow dies. I die cut the shadow from vellum and the word lucky from gold cardstock. Once the two die cuts were glued together I attached the sentiment to the center of my shamrock with foam adhesive. Lastly, I added a few Sparkling Clear sequins to finish my card.
Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. I think this same card design will work great with other larger dies. I hope I inspired you to create one of your own.
Hello friends! This is Mindy and I’m here to share one of my favorite cards created from the Valentine release using the Valentine Cupcakes. I have a full video tutorial explaining how I created this card and the supplies used.
A couple sets that I’m going to be using to create this card are the Valentine Cupcakes and Sweet Chocolates stamp set. My images are colored on X-Press It Cardstock and colored with Olo Markers.
Another one of my favorites from this release is the Layered Heart Lattice stencil. I ink blended it with Salt Water Taffy and Candied Apple Distress inks.
The Eyelet Rectangle adds just a perfect touch to my Valentine design and so I trimmed my stenciled panel down to fit just inside of the rectangle. Then adding my cupcakes and sentiment with foam tape.
I hope you were inspired by today’s card and video. Thanks for stopping by!
Next, I die cut the largest die in the Eyelet Heartsset from two colours of pearlescent card. On the pink die cut, I used scissors to cut along the stitched line and remove the eyelet details.
I adhered the die cut hearts together, then the chocolate images on top. I added some layers behind each chocolate for dimension.
For the background, I die cut the Pierced Heartscover plate with white card. This adds subtle details which is perfect for backgrounds.
I stamped a small ‘wishes’ on the panel, from the older Holiday Scriptsstamp set. I then stamped the word ‘Sweet’ from the Sweet Chocolates stamp setwith worn lipstick distress oxide ink, then die cut it with the coordinating die. Finally, I adhered all the pieces to an A2 card base to finish.
Good morning! It’s Lindsey here and I have a simple card to share that works great for St. Patrick’s Day but could be used all year. There are lots of times I’ve thought “I’m so lucky/blessed to know them,” and I’m so glad to have a fun way to tell them now.
I started by dry embossing the smallest shamrock stencil from the new Layered Shamrocks stencils on my card base. Then I used the Simple Strips Dies to cut a rainbow of colors, adding a strip of gold right down the center.
What’s at the end of every rainbow? A pot of gold, of course. The Cauldron Shaker Die worked perfectly for that. I popped up the center portion a bit, so you could see the dimension.
Then, I added a sparkly gold sentiment using just the word layer of the Lucky Shadow Die. I stamped “to know you” from the Lucky stamp setto complete my card.
And there you have it. I’m looking forward to mailing this one. Thanks so much for joining me today!
Hello everyone, June here! Today I’m back with another card I made using the new release using a variety of products.
One thing I instantly noticed when I saw the Valentine Cupcakes stamp set is the familiar image on one of them – the bird on one cupcake matches the ones in the A Little Birdie stamp set! Stuff like this always sparks an idea for a card.
So I went ahead and stamped some images from those 2 sets and colored them with Copic Markers. I also used some hearts from the new Decorative Hearts stamp set to make a little cluster of images to go in the center of my card.
For my background I used the Scallop Ovals and as always, I blended a background using Distress Oxide. I decided to use one of the stencils from theLayered Heart Lattice stencils on its own for a more subtle look. I used a blend of Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick and Saltwater Taffy to get the perfect shade of pink. For the panel behind the oval I used a bit of Lost Shadow and splattered some Hickory Smoke onto it.
I adhered my panels with foam tape to give it some dimension. To finish off my card, I stamped and embossed the ‘XOXO’ that’s in the Decorative Hearts stamp set I used before.
And that’s it for today! I hope you enjoyed today’s blog post.
