Hi friends, It’s Christina, and I have a little something sweet for you! Pretty Pink Posh followed up their super popular Valentine Cake Pops with Birthday Cake Pops, and I was so excited to use them for today’s project. I decorated my cake pops in pastel ice cream colors and mounted them on a Wavy Stripes background complete with a sparkly text overlay.
Below you’ll find a supply list and the steps I took to create this sweet pastel card design. Let’s get started!
Birthday Cake Pop Dies
Wavy Stripes Stencil
Birthday Words Stencil
Eyelet Rectangle Dies
For You Shadow Dies
Bright Rainbow Clay Confetti
My first step was to create the background. I started by trimming a piece of white cardstock to fit inside the stitched detail of the largest eyelet rectangle. Then, using the Wavy Stripe Stencil and a teal ink, I stenciled a wavy stripe across the panel. To finish the panel, I stenciled over the wavy stripes using the Birthday Words Stencil and a sparkly white stencil paste. The last step to creating my background was to mount the stenciled panel to an eyelet rectangle die cut from turquoise cardstock.
With the background completed, I got to work on the other elements of my card design. I started with die cutting all the components for the cake pops from pastel-colored cardstock. I assembled the cake pops and added clay confetti pieces for sprinkles and sticks die cut from glitter cardstock. I attached these to my background panel with foam squares and then added the sentiment, which I also die cut from glitter cardstock. I chose a turquoise shadow for the sentiment to coordinate with the eyelet rectangle and then finally attached the entire panel to a teal A2 cardstock panel.
And that’s all there is to creating this sweet pastel card design. Thanks so much for reading about my latest project. See you again soon!
Hi Friends, Debbie here with the super fun Party Hat Dies from the new birthday release.
Let’s get started with the party hats! Rather than doing the shaker, I wanted to use the Wavy Stripes Stencil. So with a light Pink and Lavender Card stock from my stash, and a little dark inks. Placing the two panels onto a grip mat I inked blended the Wavy Stripes stencil. Next I die cut out the Party Hat dies from both of the Striped panels.
Then with dark bright pink and dark purple card stock I die cut out the Pom-Poms and the toppers to the hats. Also two extra Pom-Poms from the original panel colors for the center of the toppers. Attaching the bottom Pom-Poms with liquid glue to the Party Hat base. And in between them add 1/2 of a small foam square to pop up the top layer of Pom-Poms.
Next up I die cut out the Streamers from the four colors of Pink and Purples.
For the background panel, I started off with a white standard A2 panel. Using the previously released Layered Confetti Stencil I ink blended on the two shades of pink ink with the layers A and C. And the layer B was the purple ink.
Attaching the Streamers criss crossing on the top of the Confetti Panel. Popped up the Party Hats and over lapping them, so there is no foam squares on the right side of the Pink Party Hat.
Die cutting out the Let’s Party Shadow from White and Dark Purple card stock. With the Party Hats having dimension, I added foam to the back of the right side of the sentiment to make it flush.
Lastly, I added two white hearts from the Strawberry Valentine Clay Confetti Mix to the center of the circle in the toppers.
Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty my friends!
Hello, crafty friends! Arsenia here, and today I’m excited to share a fun and easy way to create festive party straws using the new Party Flag Dies! I was thrilled when I received these dies, as I absolutely love making party straws. They’re the perfect addition to presents, gift bags, candy bags, treat bags, cups, and so much more! Let’s dive into the creative process!
The Party Flag Dies make assembling party straws a breeze. I started by cutting out all the die-cut images from white cardstock. Then, I inked the smaller images with a variety of dye inks for a pop of color. For one of the flags, I used a circle die from the Party Hat Shaker Dies and Cake Slice Shaker Dies to create a playful polka dot background. For the second flag, I repurposed a leftover piece from the Party Hat Shaker Dies—the inside of the party hat—creating a unique design.
The Party word die from the Party Flag Dies is perfect for adding a cheerful touch to the flags. To give the straws an extra whimsical flair, I used a medium-sized bow from the Beautiful Bows Dies. I layered four pieces for the top of the bow and two for the tail, adding dimension and a fun, playful look.
To finish off these party straws, I sprinkled on some Sparkling Clear Sequins and Iridescent Mini Stars Confetti, then added some white gel pen highlights for extra shine. Ta-da! The flags were finished—or so I thought…
But, wait—I had one more idea! I decided to create another adorable party straw using the Party Hat Shaker Dies. For this one, I used a circle die from the Cake Slice Shaker Dies to add some playful polka dots to the hat. I also pulled in a die from last year’s release called the Interactive Cake Dies to decorate the bottom of the hat. After adhering it to a straw, voila—the party straw was complete!
I absolutely love how these party straws turned out, and I’m already looking forward to making more for upcoming holidays and special occasions. The Party Flag Dies are a must-have for any celebration or party-themed project.
Thank you so much for stopping by, and happy crafting!
Hi crafty friends! Sophie here sharing a card I made featuring the new Alphabet Candles stamps and coordinating dies. I LOVE this set – it is so versatile! I love the possibilities of really customizing cards and projects with this set. You could spell out anything – a name, a phrase, whatever! Let’s take a look at the project I made below…
I first stamped out the letters to spell HOORAY on some white cardstock using alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used my Copic markers to color these letters in a rainbow of colors, listed below. I tried to do a shaded look where the color was more intense at the bottom of the letters.
Red: R20, R22, R24
Pink: RV00, RV11
Orange: YR01, YR04, YR07
Green: YG03, YG06
Yellow: Y11, Y13, Y17
Blue: B21, B24
I used the Eyelet Rectangles dies to cut a piece of ivory cardstock to serve as a focal point for my letters which I arranged playfully in a grid fashion. The eyelet series of dies are some of the most used dies in my collections – I especially love the rectangles, circles, and ovals!
I finished this card off with a few Sparkling Clear sequins – my favorite embellishments. I hope you found this project inspiring! I’ll be back soon to share more projects with you! :)
Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here I have a super fun and also super easy interactive card design to share with you…a pop-up card!
Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube
Complicated interactive card designs always seem like too much for my lazy…I mean relaxed crafting heart so I love that there is a pop-up card that takes just a few simple cuts! And I love that this card style pairs so well with the Pretty Pink Posh holder dies!
I used the dog for this birthday card but can you imagine the possibilities?!! A pop up ghost at Halloween! A pop up fox at Christmas!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you were inspired by this pop up card idea!
Supplies:
Streamers die set

Hi crafty friends! I’m Michelle Woerner and I am super excited to be a guest designer with Pretty Pink Posh and help celebrate the 11th birthday anniversary! Today I’m sharing a fun birthday shaker card using the new Party Hat Shaker die set and sentiments from Upright Greetings: Birthday stamp set.
Before I start any project, I always choose my color palette (my color cubes are my best friends) and I die cut all the elements in the die set with all my colors. What can I say? I love options! I play around with all the pieces until I find my favorite combination. For the Party Hat Shaker, I chose the fun teal color and filled it with a variety of shaker bits and sequins from my stash. I chose the same teal color for the hat “top” piece, and I popped it up on foam squares. I accented it with a cute pink flower and yellow center from the adorable Spring Foliage die set. I chose the “Let’s Party” sentiment from the Upright Greetings: Birthday stamp set, trimmed it into banners and tucked the tops of each under the shaker hat topper.
For the background, I used the largest die in the Eyelet Rectangles die set die cut with white cardstock and adhered it to the card base with thin foam squares. Next, I adhered the shaker hat element down. I wanted to make a custom fun background to complement it, so I pulled out all the die cut circles from the small circle die in the Party Hat Shaker die set and played around until I liked how they were arranged. I LOVE that this one die has 10 circles, so with one pass you can get 10 of each color! Lastly, I added a few large sequins to fill in some gaps with a bit of sparkle.
Designer Tip: I followed the Rule of 3s and used 3 circles of each color which brings a visual balance to the card.

Hi friends, Debbie here and I am thrilled to be apart of Pretty Pink Posh 11th Birthday Celebration! Who doesn’t love an amazing Birthday Collection!
Today, I have the new Dog Holder Die! I am loving all the adorable Holder Dies and this is no exception! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for all of us in the future!
Let’s get started with the puppy, which I took my inspiration from my friend’s new puppy! Die cutting the body from white card stock, and adding a light gray ink to the edges for depth. And the rest from black card stock except the eyes. I used googly eyes from my stash because the black card stock wouldn’t have shown up very well over the black patch.
Next up was the background, with a standard A2 panel I inked blended yellow ink using the Cascading Stars Stencil. Then with the Confetti die from the Big Birthday Cupcake I die cut it out with the yellow, dark blue, light blue, and green card stock from my stash.
With the light blue and the green card stock I die cut out the Present Shaker Die but not the center to make it a shaker. I then attached the present to the panel with liquid glue. Next, adhere the confetti pieces around the present. Making sure the colors were dispersed around evenly as possible.
Then with the Birthday Holder Additions I die cut out the cake, party hat, and the word Wish (3 times) from the card stock. Adhered them together with liquid glue and attached the die cuts to the Dog. But to complete my sentiment I needed the “Make a” from the Birthday Scripts stamp set. I could have die cut it out with a basic sentiment die. But then I thought how fun would it be if it fit into the Bone from the Dog Holder Die Set. And it did!
I popped up the Dog and the Bone with foam squares. Added some Star Dust Stickles and Shimmer pen to the some of the die cuts. Adhered one large Pistachio Pearl to the center of the bow and two underneath the Wish word.

Greetings Party People! It’s Jill here and I’m glad to be here with you all today to share in celebrating Pretty Pink Posh’s Birthday!
My card today uses the new Layered Garland Stencils. This set includes three stencils, each with a different type of festive banner. After tinkering around a bit, I decided I wanted to focus on using one style of banner in several different colors. I first cut a white panel using the Eyelet Rectangles.
I was excited to use this banner because I have many happy memories of having crepe paper strewn at my childhood birthday parties in the kitchen. 🙂
I blended on the different color inks, shifting the stencil down and rotating it to create different angles as I went along. The spacing for the different banners makes this easy to do, so you don’t accidentally ink in the wrong opening. Love that!
I wanted a bold sentiment to add to this card, and the new Let’s Party Shadow worked swimmingly in a dark navy blue. I love that the die set includes the backer die to hold the delicate die cut words. I added some stitching to the words for a little extra something and adhered them with foam tape.
I wanted to add a little extra party fun, so I reached for the Birthday Holder Additions. The party hat was my first choice and it worked out swimmingly! I put two party hats on top of an inked vellum star from the Birthday Cake Pops die set, to anchor them down.
Pretty Pink Posh also has a set of festive dies that would be fun to use here, either in place of the Layered Garland Stencil or in addition to. That set is called Streamer Dies. (I die cut a bunch of them, so I am looking forward to using them in the future!)
I enjoy how this turned out in the end–so fun and festive! This is perfect not only for celebrating a birthday, but could also be perfect for any celebratory occasion!

Hi there my crafty and creative friends! It’s Wanda here, guesting on the awesome PPP Blog today! I am so excited for the new release this month, celebrating the birthday/anniversary of Pretty Pink Posh! The project I’m sharing is a fun birthday treat box featuring the cute new Dog Holder Dies, the new Birthday Holder Add-ons, and the new Birthday Dogs and Cats stamps and dies – along with some other favorite supplies from PPP.
I started by die cutting and assembling the Birthday Treat Box and lining the back with matching gingham paper. I splattered on some white paint. I die cut a white Eyelet Circle and put that on the front of the treat box.
I die cut out the adorable pup using shades of brown cardstock. I used a white gel pen to add small highlights to the pieces. I gave the pup a super cute party hat and a present to hold. I added a few gems for just a little bit of sparkle.
I attached the dog to the front of the treat box using foam tape. I stamped the sentiment using the new Birthday Dogs and Cats stamp set and die cut it with the matching dies. Let’s Pawty!!
I put some candy into a cello bag and tied it with matching twine and put it into the treat box – it’s so festive and fun. Sure to make any party goer smile.
Thank you so much for letting me share a project with you today. Can’t wait for the new release! Happy Birthday Pretty Pink Posh!
