If you need a card from late fall until early spring, snowflakes are always the answer! Christmas…snowflakes. Birthday…snowflakes. Thank you…snowflakes. I could go on but I’ll stop, LOL!
The Snowflakes stamp sethas quickly become one of my favorites! It pairs so well with these easy watercolor techniques that I’m excited to share with you in my latest video!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you were inspired by these cards!
Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today sharing a stunning winter snowflake shaker card using the snowflake shaker die from Pretty Pink Posh. This die is perfect for making festive shaker cards that capture the magic of winter.
For the background of my card, I ink blended Distress Oxide inks in the following colors: Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, and Broken China. After ink blending, I placed theCascading Snowflakes stencil over the ink-blended background and sprayed Prize Ribbon Distress Spritz over the stencil. This added a beautiful shimmer and shine to the snowflakes, creating a sparkling snowflake-filled scene.
Hello, Gemma here today to share a card featuring the new Christmas Lights Garland die set. I think this set is fabulous for mass producing fun holiday cards quickly and easily.
I began by die cutting the string from the Christmas Lights Garland set twice from a dark grey card stock. This will give a softer look to black card.
The other die in the set cuts out 5 lights at a time, which is a huge time saver. I die cut a rainbow of lights from pearl sparkle card, then adhered the lights to the string.
On my white top folding A2 card base, I stamped a sentiment from the Winter Greetings stamp set. I then adhered the two Christmas Light Garlands to finish this card.
This was so quick and simple to make, I cut more strings to make a few more cards.
I hope you enjoyed this easy card idea. Thank you for stopping by!
Hi crafty friends! It’s Christina, and I’m back to share a vibrant autumn-themed thank you card featuring many of the die sets in the Pretty Pink Posh fall shop. Follow along as I take you through the steps to create this card perfect for the fall season.
I started with creating the background panel for my card by die cutting the largest Stitched Torn Rectangle from light blue cardstock. Then I embossed the panel using theDeco Leaves Stencil. I love the subtle texture the embossing gives to the cardstock. To emboss using a stencil, I use the following sandwich in my die cutting machine:
1. bottom cutting plate 2. embossing mat 3. my die cut cardstock panel 4. the stencil 5. some shims Every machine is different, so your sandwich may be different from mine.
Next, I distressed the background panel with brown Distress Ink and white gouache paint splatter before mounting it on an ivory cardstock panel with foam tape.
My next step was to die cut all the autumn-themed elements for my card. I chose pumpkins, sunflowers, mushrooms, and greenery from the Big Fall Cupcake, the Fall Basket, and the Fall Mug Additions sets. I die cut everything from colored cardstock and added some shading using Distress Inks and small blending brushes. Then, I assembled the die cuts before arranging them on the background panel. I tucked the die cuts in and around each other, using a combination of liquid adhesive and foam squares.
To finish up my card design, I die cut and assembled the Many Thanks Shadow Die from orange and ivory cardstock before attaching it with foam squares. For the final details, I added a couple of white gel pen highlights and a few gems from the Autumn Days Clay Confetti.
That completes this vibrant card featuring many of the beautiful fall-themed sets in the shop. Thanks for following along, and I’ll see you next time!
I began by die cutting the largest Stitched Snowflake from gold and white glitter card. I then cut them both in half, using the stitched lines as a guide.
Next, I cut two panels of sparkle card, blue and white, each half A2 size. On the white sparkle card, I stamped a sentiment from the Winter Greetings stamp set. As the sparkle card is slightly glossy, I embossed it with clear gloss embossing powder so the ink wouldn’t smudge.
I adhered these panels to an A2 card base, then half of each of the snowflakes above to finish.
I hope you were inspired by. There are so many great color combinations you could try with this card design.
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I have a non-traditional holiday color box card to share with you! It’s a bit on hot pink side, but I think it’s super fun and you can easily switch out the colors I used in the video today with your favorite holiday colors.
I started with doing all of my die cutting! I cut the Scallop Box Card Diesbase out of a light teal cardstock, scalloped pieces from a cream cardstock and one of the connector pieces of vellum. Next I cut the Fringe Tree Dies from hot pink cardstock for the tree layers (except the largest one) and the trunk of the tree out from cream cardstock. The bow is cut from the Holiday Mug Addition Dies out of glitter cardstock. Finally, I cut the Sentiment Strip Dies from the glitter, hot pink and cream cardstocks.
My sentiment is from the Holiday Scripts Stamp Setand I stamped “to the world” on the smallest sentiment strip in teal ink and “Joy” in pink ink on cream cardstock separately so I could use the Coordinating Die to cut it out.
To add more pink to the card, I used the same pink ink as well as an Interference Ink with the Layered Bows Stencilson the scalloped die cut pieces. Now that I have all of my pieces, I assembled the Scallop Box Card with the vellum piece in the center. I added my tree to the vellum and layered my sentiment strips and sentiment to the front of the box card.
What do you think of a hot pink tree? Would you want it in your living room – or is it better on a box card? I hope you had some fun with this box card today!
Hi crafty friends, Debbie here on the blog today. Who doesn’t love a beautiful winter release packed with fun ornaments, snowflakes, and shaker dies! I am sharing the new Holiday Ornaments stamp set from the Winter Release.
I always like to start off with my background, making it a slimline. First I cut a panel 4 X 8.5 inches to then later trim down. Placing the Cascading Snowflakes Stencil over the panel vertical. Ink blended on a light pink ink, slide it down and blended on the lower portion of the panel. Mask off if need to have a clean snowflake panel. I then layered back over the pink snowflakes and add a clear glitter paste, let dry. Then go over the bottom snowflakes. Make sure to clean the stencil right after removing it, the paste will dry on it.
While the panel is drying, stamp out the images from the Holiday Ornamentswith a no line ink or a very light ink that is Copic friendly. Leaving the stamps in the Misti, I Copic colored them in with red, pinks, teals and a yellow gold. Then placed the images back into my Misti, added anti-static powder,stamped with VeraMark Ink. Heat embossed with gold embossing powder. Then with theHoliday Ornaments coordinating Diescut them out.
Knowing I was going to have them hanging I needed a string and bows. So from gold card stock I used the Beautiful BowsDies and Simple Strips Dies. With liquid glue adhere to the ornaments and add foam to the back of the ornaments. The last thing I need was a sentiment, I then white heat embossed Merry and Bright from Winter Greetings. Die cut the sentiment out with the Coordinating Dies. Attaching it with foam squares and adding the panel to a card base.
Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty my friends!
Hi there! Leanne here and I’m excited to be back on the Pretty Pink Posh blog. I’m sharing an ornament filled mini slimline card. I used the Build An Ornament die set to create my ornaments in four different styles. I’ll share a fun way to color and add lots of interest to them.
For this card I started with a mini slimline card base (6.25″ long x 3.5″ wide). I blended on minty green ink to the card front. I applied it heavier towards the top and lighter towards the bottom to where it fades to white. I then splatted with gold water color paint. I created a pine garland to add to the top of the card. I used a pine sprig die included in the Winter Foliage die set. I die cut 5 pine sprigs to cover the length of the card. Before I adhered them, I splattered with white paint.
I used all four ornament shapes included in the Build An Ornament set and die cut them from heavy weight white card stock. To color I sprayed them with Distress Mica Stains in the following colors: Cocktail Party, Wicked Elixir, Sugary Gumdrop, and Frosty Mint. The Mica Stain gives them a speckled look and lots of shimmer. Unfortunately the photo does not do justice to the shimmer from the Mica Stain application. It’s so pretty in person. After the Mica Stain was dry, I splattered the ornaments with white paint to add to their speckled look.
There are dies included with the Build An Ornament set to embellish the ornaments even further. I die cut these pieces from silver glitter card stock. I also added ornament toppers, die cut from metallic silver card stock. I tied on some bows and then arranged the ornaments to cover the length of the card.
To complete this card design, I added a greeting with a stamp included in the Winter Greetings set which also has coordinating dies. Lastly I added my go to embellishment, Sparkling Clear Sequins.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card and it inspired you. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi crafty friends, Rebecca here. It turns out that spinner cards are REALLY easy to make even though they have such a fun interactive element! All you need to do is stamp a Christmas Ornament from the Holiday Ornaments Stamp Set twice and color both in exactly the same way. Then use the Holiday Ornaments Coordinating Dies to cut both ornaments out.
Now create a background panel with the Cascading Snowflakes Stencils. I love non traditional pinks, blues and purples for the holidays, but you can use any color combination you love! I tried to match the colors to those on my ornaments.
Next die cut a circle slightly larger than the ornament. I used the Eyelet Circles Dies to cut out my window, but you could use an oval shape if you chose a different ornament shape. Cut the same circle out of the front of a card base in the same spot as it is on the panel. Use pencil marks to create a guide of where to cut.
Grab some clear string (or any color you like!) and make sure the string is longer than the card panel from top to bottom. Flip over one of the ornaments and tape the center of the string on the back of the ornament. Then add liquid adhesive and place the other ornament on top. Next tape the top of the string to the card base and the bottom of the string to the bottom of the card base and fortify with more adhesive.
Now all you have to do is adhere the stenciled panel on top and add a sentiment from the Winter Greetings Stamps and Dies. Then wind up your ornament by turning it in one direction over and over and close the card. When you open the card, the ornament will spin!
Hi friends! It’s Christina, and today I’m sharing a sparkling, winter papercrafting duo with you featuring some of the beautiful new products from the holiday release. I made a shaker card and a matching shaker tag that are perfect for the snowy season ahead. Let’s get started!
For the shaker card, my first step was to create the background panel. I die cut the Largest Wonky Stitched Rectangle from aqua cardstock and then used the smaller Snowflake Shaker dies to die cut the shaker window from the lower right corner. Next, I stenciled the Cascading Snowflake Stencil with a white glittery stencil paste and let it dry.
Next, I die cut the Snowflake Shaker Dies from glitter cardstock and attached the frame piece to the front of the background panel and the inside shaker piece to a teal cardstock panel measuring 4 x 5 ¼”. I attached thin foam strips around the inside shaker piece, creating a well for the Snow Days Shaker Beads, and foam tape across the rest of the panel. Then, I attached a piece of acetate over the shaker window on the reverse side of the background panel with double-sided tape before placing the panel onto the teal cardstock panel. Finally, I mounted the shaker panel onto an A2 aqua cardstock panel.
To finish things up, I die cut additional Stitched Snowflakes from glitter cardstock and attached them to my card front. For the sentiment, I die cut the Winter Script Die from matte silver cardstock and stacked it with a plain white die cut before attaching it along with a couple of white heat embossed words from the Holiday Scripts Stamp Set that I die cut with the Sentiment Strips Dies.
To make the matching shaker tag, I die cut the Snowflake Shaker two times, once from glitter cardstock with the center die cut for the window and once from plain white cardstock without the center portion die cut to be the base. I attached thin foam strips to the base snowflake and created a well in the center for more of the Snow Days Shaker Beads. Then I attached a piece of acetate to the reverse side of the glitter die cut before placing it on the snowflake base. I added a tag topper die cut from glitter cardstock so I could attach some twine and a sentiment from the Upright Greetings: Christmas Stamp Set that I finished with a Metallic Silver Pearl.
And that completes this sparkling winter duo featuring many of the new Christmas and winter-themed products from the Holiday Release. Thanks for following along, and happy holiday crafting, friends!
