Boo Ghosts Shaker

Hey, friends! Leica here. Halloween is quickly approaching and I wanted to share a fun and easy Halloween shaker card using a mix of Pretty Pink Posh products. Let’s jump right in!

Pretty Pink Posh: Boo Ghosts Shaker

To start, I created a cute A2-sized background by applying orange watercolor on watercolor cardstock. Once it dried, I stenciled the adorable ghosts in Lost Shadow Distress Oxide. For their faces, I used Black Soot, and Wilted Violet for the stars. To make the shaker, I cut a frame from teal glitter cardstock, added acetate, and foam tape around it to create the shaker well. Inside, I used a combination of Spooky Glass Beads and 4MM Summer Sequins Mix as shaker bits.

Since I wanted the ghosts to remain visible, I only added sentiments to the front of the card. I cut the word “boo” from the Large Boo Shadow in black glitter cardstock and the shadow die in vellum. For the sub-sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Sentiment Strips: Halloween stamp set and cut it using a rectangle scallop die from the Sentiment Strips. Finally, I glued the card panel onto an A2-sized white cardstock, and voila, my card is complete!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope I’ve inspired you to have fun with your stash. Happy crafting!

One Stamp Set, Three Different Ways + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video making three cards – they all have a similar layout, but they’re for a different holiday! The new Holiday Trees Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies make beautiful Christmas cards, but they’re also great for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

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

I started with hot foiling all three of my sentiments with Satin Metallic Hot Foil and the Large Boo, Thankful Script, and Merry Christmas Hot Foil Plates. I used the shadow dies from the Large Boo, Thankful, and Merry Christmas Shadow Dies to cut each of them out. Next I cut out the second largest Eyelet Rectangles Die out of white, kraft and black cardstock.

For my backgrounds, I have a piece of pink, yellow, and mint blue cardstocks A2 in size. I used the Deco Leaves Stencil to add in a subtle background with Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold, and Evergreen Bough Distress Inks respectively. I also added some ink to the edges of the background and used Distress Mica for some beautiful splatter.

While my backgrounds were drying, I started stamping out my trees from the Holiday Trees stamp set for each of my cards. I used four different colors per card and you can see how I stamp each set of trees in today’s video. The Halloween card uses Distress Inks in Milled Lavender, Saltwater Taffy, and Spiced Marmalade as well as Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink. The Thanksgiving card uses Distress Inks in Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw, and Vintage Photo as well as Fallen Leaves VersaFine Clair Ink Pad. Finally, the Christmas card uses Distress Inks in Evergreen Bough, Kitsch Flamingo, and Salvaged Patina as well as Warm Breeze VersaFine Clair Ink Pad. When all the stamping was done, I used the Holiday Trees coordinating dies to cut them out.

I assembled each of the cards together similarly as you can watch in today’s video. The Eyelet Rectangles are adhered to the center of the background with foam adhesive, the Holiday Trees added with liquid adhesive and foiled sentiments with foam adhesive. For some final touches I added Purple Shimmer, Espresso, and Strawberry Shimmer Confetti Mixes for some extra shine!

I hope today’s cards bring you inspiration for all kinds of holidays and I would love to know what other holidays you think this layout could also work for… Maybe you’ll see more holidays from me with these trees!

Holiday Birds Scene

Hi there, crafty friends! It’s Leica, and I’ve got a cozy square Christmas card to share using dies and a stencil from the new October release.

Pretty Pink Posh: Holiday Birds Scene

First, I grabbed a white card panel that’s 5 inches square. I made a pretty background using the Layered Winter Wreath and some green inks from Pigment Craft Co. To make things interesting, I added some splatters of gold paint.

Next, I put together a birdhouse using the Decorative Birdhouses dies from before. I glued it onto the card panel and added some Christmas trees from the Love From Afar dies. Then, I made a couple of cute birds using the new Holiday Birds dies. I gave them a little lift by sticking them on the card panel. I also included some greenery from the Holiday Mug Additions dies and a sweet little flower from the Winter Foliage dies.

For the sentiment, I cut out “Happy Holidays” in gold cardstock and the shadow in vellum. Finally, I glued the card panel onto a 5-inch square card base.

Thanks a bunch for hanging out with me today! Have a blast with your crafting!

Festive Jolly Stockings

Hello, Gemma here today with a card using one of my favourites from the October release – the Build a Stocking die set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Festive Jolly Stockings

I love that there are so many different looks that can be created with the Build a Stocking die set. Change the colours, add some sparkle, switch the stocking toppers….so many possibilities! I decided on a colour palette of pink and navy, with gold sparkle accents.

Pretty Pink Posh: Festive Jolly Stockings

There are backing layer dies for each of the size stockings, then decorative layers to add over the top. As it’s difficult to adhere anything on top of glitter card, for the spotty stocking I cut it from both navy and gold glitter card, so I could inlay the gold glitter spots. You could skip this step if layering over something non-glitter.

To add glitter stripes to the light pink stocking, I first adhered some double sided tape to the stocking, then covered with gold glitter.

Pretty Pink Posh: Festive Jolly Stockings

On a 5.25” square card base, I adhered a piece of ivory speckled card, slightly smaller than the card base to give a border. On this, I stamped a sentiment from the new Holiday Stockings stamp set, using a brown ink. Next, I added some white glitter foliage, cut using the previously released Pine Sprigs die set.

Finally, I added the three stockings using some foam tape for dimension.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope this card inspired you.

Whimsical Holiday Cupcakes

Hello crafty friends, it’s Davina here. The beautiful October release from Pretty Pink Posh is available now and you will love it! This is the largest release ever, and full of so much good stuff to bring your winter and holiday projects to life. I created a tiered cupcake stand using the incredibly cute Christmas Cupcakes stamps and dies. I combined serial other new products and previously released items to being this fun card to life. 

Whimsical Holiday Cupcakes

I started by using the pretty Pierced Snowflake Plate on Bristol Smooth Cardstock, and inkblending an ombré citrus green background. Once it was completely dry, I trimmed it down 1/4 inch, to  make room for a striped patterned paper background layer. I stamped the cute cupcakes and colored them in before cutting them out with the coordinating dies. I used the cake stand from last summers Fancy Cake Dies to pile on my cupcakes, then I added a bow from the new Holiday Mug Additions

Whimsical Holiday Cupcakes

I wanted to add some small stamped details and I found all of the images, and a sentiment, that I needed from one older stamp set. The Holiday Envelopes stamp set from last year had all of the great snowflakes, pine boughs, and the holly with berries images that I used. I stamped some of these in colored ink, including the sentiment, and added them to my treats. Finally, I adhered my images to the inky background, using foam tape behind the cupcake stand, and added my sentiment to a cute scalloped banner from the Sentiment Strips Dies

Whimsical Holiday Cupcakes

There are so many wonderful new products to play with and so much inspiration to see. Make sure you hop along with both the New Release Blog Hop and then the Instagram Hop, to see how magically the Design Team used the products and for your chance to win!

Merry Stocking Shaker

Hello friends! It’s Leica, and today I’ve got a delightful Christmas shaker card featuring the Stocking Shaker Die as the star of the show. This card is a breeze to recreate, so let’s dive right in!

Pretty Pink Posh: Merry Stocking Shaker

First things first, I took some pink cardstock and cut it into a large rectangle using the Eyelet Rectangles Dies. Then, I used the Stocking Shaker to cut out the center area of the stocking. I taped the edges of the stocking onto the pink card panel and added a piece of clear acetate to the back of the stocking shape. To create the shaker part, I attached foam tape to the back of the card panel and filled it up with the Christmas Tree Mix. For the back of the shaker stocking, I used a piece of red cardstock that I decorated with dots using the Mini Polka Dots stencil.

Pretty Pink Posh: Merry Stocking Shaker

For the sentiment, I cut out “Merry” in silver glitter foam and stamped “Christmas” in black ink on the top part of the stocking. Next, I cut out a cute Christmas tree from green cardstock, glued it onto the acetate of the shaker, and added some dots using Liquid Pearl in White Opal.

I then cut a piece of patterned paper to fit an A2-sized card and elevated the eyelet rectangle on the card panel using foam. Finally, I glued the panel onto a standard A2-sized card base.

That’s the lowdown on my shaker card! Thanks a million for hanging out with me, and I hope you’re smitten with today’s card share. Have an absolutely wonderful day!

Festive Holiday Mug

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be back to share a holiday card that uses the new Holiday Mug Additions die set. I love that this set can be combined with the original Winter Mug dies to give you so many possibilities! 

Festive Holiday Mug

I started my card by using the Layered Candy Canes stencil set (2 layers) to create my card panel. I ink blended white pigment ink and Distress Oxide ink in Candied Apple onto a pink cardstock panel to create my background. 

Festive Holiday Mug

Next, I used the Winter Mug dies along with the Holiday Mug Additions dies to create my mug and accessories. I die cut the pieces from white cardstock and used finger dabblers to add ink to each of the individual pieces before assembling. I then used the Eyelet Rectangle die to die cut a vellum rectangle for the center of my card. I attached my mug and accessories to my panel with foam adhesive. For my sentiment I used the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set along with the Sentiment Strips dies. Lastly, I added a few white paint splatters to my card to finish it off. 

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. I can’t wait to see what you create with these fun new products!!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Tree Cover Plate w/ Distress Mica Sprays

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today making a Christmas shaker card! I love how easy shaker cards can be with the new Tree Cover Plate Die and we’re going to make one together today.

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

I am starting with some watercolor cardstock and adding different Distress products to create my own colorful paper. Using Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide, I ink squished the color on my glass mat and added water. I dabbed my paper into the ink and used my heat gun to dry the paper in between layers. Once I was happy with the lighter green, I also added some Lucky Clover Distress Oxide.

The green was looking so pretty, but I wanted to tie in some pink to match the Christmas Tree Mix, so I sprayed on some Distress Mica Spray in Sugary Gumdrop. Once the watercolor cardstock is dry, I used the Tree Cover Plate Die to cut out my panel for the front of my shaker.

You can watch the video below to see each step of the shaker assembly, but I layered the Tree Cover Plate with acetate, foam adhesive and a white and gray speckled background paper. This panel will be attached to an A2 card base.

For my sentiment on the card, I am mixing dies and stamps – I used the Merry Script to die cut out of a dark and light pink cardstock and glued them together to create a drop shadow look. I also stamped a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stamp Set in green on die cuts from the Sentiment Strips Dies. I layered the stamped sentiment on white with yellow and pink cardstock.

Since my card already has plenty of dimension being a shaker card, I adhered my die cut and stamped sentiments to the card with liquid adhesive.

I hope you like this interactive Christmas card inspired by the colors of the Christmas Tree Mix and that you have lots of fun making cute Christmas cards with this latest release!

Day 4: October Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

BLOG HOP Day 1 CLICK HERE //  Day 2 CLICK HERE //  Day 3 CLICK HERE

Hello friends! It’s Leica, and I’m excited to share a holiday card featuring the fantastic Love From Afar Dies. This set is absolutely stunning, and I’ve got to say, my favorites are the banner and the word dies that fit perfectly inside it.

To get started, I cut an A2-sized piece of white cardstock and gave it some color with Distress Oxide Inks in Chipped Sapphire and Faded Jeans. To add a little extra flair, I splashed some gold and white ink on there for a touch of pizzazz.

Next, I used the Love From Afar dies to cut out the various elements. I added a strip of gold cardstock and tied a bow to make the globe look like an ornament. Then, I placed a pink banner on there with the words, “Joy to the world.” I also cut out a couple of birds from cream cardstock and popped them up on the card panel with foam.

Finally, I glued the card panel onto an A2-sized card base, and that wraps up my Christmas card using the Love From Afar dies.

I truly believe this die set will bring you a lot of joy. It’s large and creates a beautiful focal point on your card. I hope you give it a try and have a blast with your crafting!

Day 3: October Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE //  If you missed Day 2 CLICK HERE

Hello, Gemma here today sharing a merry & bright Christmas tree card, using the new Tree Cover Plate.

I began by die cutting the Tree Cover Plate from pearl white sparkle card. I also die cut it from four bright colours of card for the decorated trees, along with satin gold mirror card to get nine of the solid trees.

I adhered the pearl white sparkle card background to an A2 card base, followed by the gold trees. Not all of these will be seen, but it means that they all have the same dimension.

Next, I added the brightly coloured trees on top, alternating the colours. The gold underneath will show through the holes in three of the trees.

For the sentiment, I white heat embossed a greeting from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set on pink card. I die cut this using one of the dies in the Sentiment Strips set, then popped it up on the card with foam tape.

To finish, I added some little stars to the tops of some of the trees. This star die is one of the small decoration pieces included in the Tree Cover Plate.

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. We are giving away 4 $30 gift certificates to four random comments (1 winner each day) left before October 19, 2023 at 11:59 PM PST. I’ll be announcing the winners next week, so be sure to return and see if you are one of the winners.
