Sneak Peek: Valentine Train

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a little peek at an adorable new Valentine’s Day set, Valentine Train stamp set and coordinating dies. These are going to be perfect for the upcoming holiday, but I love that there is an empty train car to decorate for any holiday or maybe a baby card!

New release will be available January 3rd

I started with stamping my Valentine Train stamp set images on white cardstock with alcohol marker friendly black ink. My images are colored in with red, pinks and soft purple Ohuhu Art Honolulu Alcohol Markers. I used the Valentine Train coordinating dies to cut the images out.

For this card, I wanted the train to be my main focus, so I decided to do a subtle, tone on tone background. I started with trimming a piece of white cardstock to 4×5.25” and die cut the XOXO Border Die five times from another piece of white cardstock. I glued them down to create an offset pattern and trimmed off the excess from the edges.

This was then glued to the center of an A2 card base, also in white cardstock. Next I cut a Sentiment Strip Die out of white cardstock and used the same soft purple markers to color the paper and stamped “Loads of Love” as the sentiment for the card. I added my Valentine Train images and sentiment to my card with foam adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of the new Valentine Train stamp set and coordinating dies; you’re absolutely going to love the rest of the release. So many great new products for the upcoming holidays!

Sneak Peek: Sweet Chocolates + Valentine Cupcakes

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here! I’m thrilled to share these sneak peeks using the new Valentine Cupcakes and Sweet Chocolates stamp sets

I’ll be sharing two color palettes today one is nontraditional colors for Valentines, and one is basically an iconic color palette for Valentines. I had so much fun making these beauties, both sets coordinate well together. I absolutely adore these products, let’s get started!

New release will be available January 3rd

For my first card I stamped and colored the images from the new Valentine Cupcakes stamps with Olo alcohol markers using an array of fuchsia and blue colors, not your typical Valentine color palette.  I did add a few elements of red but overall fuchsia, blue, and a light pink are the main colors.  

For my background I used the new Half Heart 2-layer stencil, it’s a beauty! I used die inks for the blending in bright blues and fuchsias. I was determined to use the Eyelet Rectangles Dies from the most recent release on my project, these dies are a favorite of mine. I cut the large Eyelet rectangle out of white glitter cardstock and cut my stenciled panel down to nestle it on to the large Eyelet Rectangle die. I needed a resting place for the cupcakes, I decided to use the new Eyelet Hearts Dies! I cut the large heart in velum and a smaller one from white glitter cardstock. 

I adhered the elements to my card base and decided to add a few embellishments. I used the new Colorful Heart Clay Confetti, specifically the blue hearts. I added a few highlights with my white gel pen and embellishments are done!

The next and final step was the sentiment. Oh yes, I did…I used another new product from the release called Elegant Banner Heart! It’s a gorgeous set of dies and sentiments are perfecto for Valentines and basically anytime of the year. I glued the letters from the Elegant Banner Heart dies to classic die called Stacked Edges 1 Dies. I finished the sentiment off with a royal blue bow from the Holiday Mug Additions Dies and a few more of the Colorful Heart Clay Confetti, ta-da all done! 

Now onto my second card using the super cute Sweet Chocolates Stamps and Dies! I stamped and colored the images with an array of Spectrum Noir alcohol markers in pinks and reds. For the background I used the new Half Heart 2-layer stencil, but I stenciled the hearts in one solid color using pink and red die inks.   I added some black splatters to the top left and bottom right of the background panel. I decided to use the negative piece from cutting the large Eyelet Rectangle Die out of a A2 card base. I adhered it to the background panel with liquid glue. 

Next, I realized I needed a resting place for the stamped die cut images and once again I decided to use the new Eyelet Hearts Dies. I die cut the large Eyelet Heart out of white cardstock. I adhered the large Eyelet Heart Die onto my panel with double sided adhesive foam tape. I arranged the elements onto the heart and decided to add the adorable doggie cupcake from the new Valentine Cupcakes Stamps with coordinating dies! 

The final step was the sentiment and that was easy-peasy, I used the cute sentiment from the Sweet Chocolates stamps and dies. I love a good white embossed sentiment on black cardstock! The final step was adding a bow to the top of the heart using the Holiday Mug Additions Dies and white gel pen highlights.  Ta-da this beauty is done, and I think it’s stinkin’ adorable!

Friends, the release is phenomenal and is full of gorgeousness, everything works so well together!  I want to thank you for stopping by and stay tuned for more fabulous sneak peeks! 

Crafty hugs!

Sneak Peek: Decorative Hearts

Hello everyone! This is Melissa and I’m here to share a sneak peek post made with the adorable Decorative Hearts stamps and coordinating dies that will be released soon.

New release will be available January 3rd

Did you know that Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday to create for?  Something about hearts and the colorful shades of reds and pinks that really inspire me and the Decorative Hearts stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh has certainly jumpstarted my creativity.

I’ve used the new Pierced Hearts die to create my card base and then stamped Decorative Hearts in reds and pinks in each empty heart space left by the Pierced Hearts die.  I spritzed my stamped surface with a bit of water and added red splatters using my Distress Spray.

I then die cut three hearts of different sizes using the adorable, new Eyelet Hearts dies. These layered hearts provided the perfect space for my “XOXO” die cut that is from the Decorative Hearts die set.  I added a secondary sentiment on a layered die cut Decorative Heart near the upper corner.  

My next card uses a row of these sweet Decorative Hearts lined up down the edge of my card.  They look adorable layered over die cut Eyelet Hearts, don’t they?  They are truly the perfect fit for each other!

In the background I have used the new Valentine Words Stencils, first using ink in a soft pink and then going over them with Nuvo Moonstone Glitter Paste.  They look dazzling all sparkly and shimmering.  

My darling die cut sentiment was cut using the new Be Mine Shadow dies…I adore these!  And, I am smitten with all of the new Pretty Pink Posh products coming out this month. I think you’ll love them too! Come back tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Happy New Year’s Card + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video to celebrate the upcoming New Year! It’s hard to believe we’re moving into 2024 and I’m so excited to continue sharing inspiration with Pretty Pink Posh products with you.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

After gathering some colored cardstock, I added an A2 piece of dark green cardstock to my card base. I used the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die to cut a piece of dark blue cardstock and adhered it to the center of the card base.

The next layer is a piece of cream cardstock and I stenciled Distress Oxides in Aged Mahogany, Tattered Rose and Victorian Velvet with the Layered Music Notes stencils. I splattered on some champagne gold watercolor to give it some shine and when it dried, I used the second largest Stitched Torn Rectangle Die to cut it out. Before attaching this piece to my card base with foam adhesive, I embossed the “Happy New Year” sentiment in gold from the Happy New Year stamp set.

Using the Happy New Year stamp set and Balloon Numbers stamp set, I stamped my images with an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used Ohuhu Art Markers to color my images; you can watch the video today to see the colors I used as well as how I added some white colored pencil and glitter markers to turn my balloons into mylar balloons! I used the Happy New Year coordinating dies and Balloon Numbers coordinating dies to cut out the images.

My balloons were added to the card base with liquid adhesive and I layered on the champagne bottle, champagne glasses and party horn with foam adhesive. For some final touches, I added sequins from the Matte Gold Confetti Mix around the card.

I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season and I wish you a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

Hello crafty friends, Merry Christmas! Leica here and I’m excited to show you how to make a fun A2-sized Christmas shaker card. Trust me, this card is an absolute delight to make, and whoever gets it will be over the moon! It’s so satisfying to give it a little shake. Let’s jump in!

I started with a white A2-sized piece of cardstock and gave it a fun background using the Layered Stockings Stencil. This stencil has three layers, and you can customize  your card panels with different ink colors. For my card, I used Festive Berries and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Inks. I added some splatters of gold acrylic ink to make it even more interesting.

To create the shaker part, I cut out a red frame using the Fancy Cake dies. I glued a clear sheet on the back of the frame. Then, I added foam tape on the back of the frame and filled it up with the Jolly Santa Mix before sealing it shut.

Next up, I assembled a Christmas stocking using the Build A Stocking Dies and filled it with bits from the Holiday Mug Additions Dies. For the words, I cut out “Merry” in gold glitter foam and placed it on top of the stocking. Then, I added “Christmas” on a strip of white cardstock and raised it up with some foam tape just below “Merry.”

Finally, I glued the card panel onto a standard A2-sized card base, and there you have it—my Christmas shaker card! I hope I’ve inspired you to give shaker cards a try. Be sure to share your creations with us using #prettypinkposhstamps. Happy crafting!

Christmas Stocking

Hello friends! It’s Leica, and I’m here with a lovely and easy Christmas card to share. I used some new dies from the holiday collection.

Pretty Pink Posh: Christmas Stocking

First, I cut a light pink piece of paper with the Pierced Snowflakes Plate. This die is super detailed and perfect for holiday cards. Then, I used different colored paper from Spellbinders to cut out pieces for the stocking from the Build A Stocking die set. I also used a few parts from the Holiday Mug Additions.

Pretty Pink Posh: Christmas Stocking

I added the word “joy” to the stocking and heat-embossed “to the world” in white on a strip of paper. I stuck it just below the “joy.” To make it shine, I attached some Metallic Silver Pearls. I finished it off by adding a red border to make the card stand out. The card measures 4.5 inches by 5.75 inches.

Pretty Pink Posh: Christmas Stocking

That’s it for my holiday card. I hope you like it and feel inspired to make your own cards using the latest Pretty Pink Posh dies. Happy crafting!

Merry Christmas Mug

Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Leica, and I’m thrilled to share this square-shaped Christmas card with you today. I used the latest Pretty Pink Posh dies and stencils. Let’s dive in!

Pretty Pink Posh: Merry Christmas Mug

First, I cut a 5-inch square piece of white cardstock and added a candy cane pattern using the Layered Candy Canes stencils. I used Distress Oxide Inks in red (Festive Berries) and pink (Spun Sugar). They blend together nicely. To make things more interesting, I added some gold paint splatters.

Next, I cut out a cute mug using the Winter Mug Dies in light pink. Then, I made it even more adorable with Santa’s belt and buckle from the new Holiday Mug Additions. I also added some greenery and a couple of Christmas trees for extra fun. The sticks for those trees come from the Stitched Strip dies. Oh, and there’s a candy cane in there too, from the Winter Mug Dies.

Pretty Pink Posh: Merry Christmas Mug

For the sentiment, I used the Merry Christmas Shadow, cutting it from pink glitter foam and white cardstock. Finally, I glued the card panel onto a 5-inch square card base.

Thanks a million for stopping by! I’m absolutely smitten with how this card turned out. I hope you have a blast crafting with the Holiday Mug Additions. It’s a ton of fun to mix and match with the Winter Mug Dies!

Poinsettia Happy Holidays + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today for a Christmas card mixing new previously released products. I just love that I can mix and match from different releases to make a card!

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

I started with using the Layered Winter Wreath Stencils to add brown to the twig details of the A stencil, red to the berries of the B stencil and two green inks for the leaf and pine needles of the C stencil. When the stenciling was done, I used the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die to cut out the wreath so that it looked centered in the middle of the rectangle.

Next I stamped my images from the Poinsettia Corners stamp set on some cream colored cardstock and colored them in with Ohuhu Art Markers, then used the Poinsettia Corners coordinating dies to cut them out. I stamped them in a brown ink to match the colors and have a softer look to the poinsettias – I love the off-white poinsettia look of the colors!

Poinsettia Happy Holidays + Video

For my sentiment, I’m using a cranberry red colored cardstock to cut two layers of the Happy Holidays Shadow Dies – just the words for this card. I used an adhesive sheet when die cutting so that I could easily adhere the two layers of the words together for extra stability when I’m ready to glue the sentiment to the card.

To assemble the card, I adhered the Eyelet Rectangle and Winter Wreath panel to an A2 size of brown cardstock which was then adhered to an A2 card base. I popped up the two Poinsettia Corners clusters with foam adhesive and then my liquid adhesive to adhere the sentiment to the center of the card.

Poinsettia Happy Holidays + Video

For final touches, I used the Matte Gold Confetti Mix to add some shine around the card and some gold glitter embellishment to the center of the Poinsettia Corners images. I just love how rich this card looks and makes a beautiful holiday card.

I hope this brought you some inspiration today and that you’re excited for the Christmas season!

Happy Retirement

Hello, Gemma here today to share a retirement celebration card. I used the Happy New Year stamp set, which is perfect for lots of occasions, not just New Year.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Retirement

I began by embossing images from the Happy New Year stamp set on dark blue card with pale gold embossing powder. I then used the coordinating dies to cut them out, adding some extra layers behind for dimension.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Retirement

I used pencils to add colour to the images. I first added a layer of white pencil, then added a colour over the top. If you have metallic paints, that would be a great alternative.

For the bottle, I used a gold gel pen to add a shine to the cork and foil at the top.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Retirement

I cut a card base to 4.25” x 5.25, then adhered a panel of the dark blue card on top. To add some details, I took the Snowfall stencil and coloured through the spaces in the stencil with the gold gel pen. You could use a gold paste but this was a quick and easy alternative, with no clean up required.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Retirement

The sentiment is from the Celebration Scripts stamp set. I embossed both words with the same pale gold embossing powder on dark blue card. I used the coordinating die to cut out the larger word, adding some layers for dimension. I then cut the smaller word into a strip and adhered both to the card to finish.

Have a great day! Thank you for stopping by!
