Mini Holiday Tags + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video making holiday tags that you can use when gift wrapping or to top goodie bags filled with sweet treats.

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

I started with die cutting all of my parts of the tags with colorful cardstock and holiday patterned paper. I love rainbows for Christmas! I cut the Merry Script Die out of silver metallic cardstock and white sparkle cardstock. Next, I cut the patterned paper with the square from the Mini Scallop Card Dies and the card base out of different colored cardstock so we can make six tags in total.

The two layers of cardstock for the Merry Script sentiment are layered together so the silver just peeks out to the right of the white sparkle cardstock. The squares were adhered to the front of the Mini Scallop Card. The colors of the paper inspired my colors for the next step, stamping and coloring my images.

I stamped the Christmas Cupcakes stamp set onto some white cardstock that is alcohol marker friendly. I wanted my images to have a grey outline, but I do not have an alcohol marker ink that is dark grey. So I started with stamping my cupcakes with a fadeout ink and colored them with a “no line coloring” look. I used my MISTI to stamp, so I put the paper back into the MISTI and stamped over my colored images with a grey ink to achieve the look!

After the images were cut out with the Christmas Cupcakes coordinating dies, it’s time to assemble the rest of the tags! I picked which cupcake would look best with the colored cardstock and patterned paper and adhered it to the Mini Scallop Card. My Merry Script sentiment was then adhered to the tags!

In my video, I share how I turned one of these little tags into a gift tag that can be later used as an ornament by using a hole punch and some twine. I hope this inspires you to create your own holiday tags for the season!

Easy Coloring on Stamped Images + Video

Hi crafty friends! Rebecca here with a card featuring the easiest way to color in stamped images! First I stamped out several of the pumpkins from the Autumn Pumpkin stamp set.

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

In different colors of ink. I quickly poured clear fine detail embossing powder on top and heat set the pumpkins. Next I used blending brushes to blend the same colors of ink that I had stamped on each of the pumpkins starting at the bottom and pulling the color to the top. This easy blending colors the pumpkins to look like they’ve been colored with blending and shading but only takes a few quick minutes!

Next I used the with the same colors of ink to create a rainbow argyle background.

Then I grabbed the Autumn Pumpkin Coordinating Dies to cut out all the pumpkins. I also die cut a flag with the Sentiment Strips Dies and placed the positive and negative of this die cut in a stamp positioner so I could line up the sentiment stamp from the Sentiment Strips Fall stamp set.

I layered a piece of white cardstock cut with the Stitched Torn Rectangle Dies on top of the argyle background and then popped up the sentiment strip and pumpkins on top.

I love this technique as it is the easiest way for my to create shaded and colored stamped images in minutes! I hope you’ll give it a try! Thanks for stopping by!

Tumbling Acorns

Hello! It’s Lindsey here. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of the entire mug collection of dies. There are so many fun bits and pieces in them, and in the Fall Mug Additions, the cute little acorn immediately caught my eye. Probably because I’ve loved finding acorns ever since I was a little girl.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Tumbling Acorns

Well, I die cut one acorn, blended some ink on, and loved it so much that I die cut another…and another…and another. Before long I had a little stack of colorful acorns.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Tumbling Acorns

I pushed the acorns aside to work on another card, but when I glanced down at the pile, I thought it looked so cute that I grabbed some press n’ seal to keep it all in place, and glued it right down onto a card. Quite possibly the easiest card ever!  

Not wanting to take any attention away from the acorns, I stamped a simple sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamps and called it a day.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Tumbling Acorns

Simple cards just make my heart happy. :) I hope they make your heart happy, too! Thanks so much for joining me today!

Christmas Dinosaur Tags + Video

Hello friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today and I’m popping in to share some Christmas tags that I made, along with a tutorial on how to make them.

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

I used the largest die from the Scallop Square Tag dies for the base of my tags. I die cut the tag from white cardstock. I masked off the sides of the tags with Scrapbook.com Mint Tape and then inked a background inside the square. I added ink to the top of the tag to resemble the sky, but I did not ink the bottom of the tag. Instead, I left the bottom of the tag white so that it would resemble snow.

For the images of my tags, I used the Christmas Dinosaurs stamp set. I stamped the images onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors: Bright Yellow, Yellow, May Green, Light Green, Mid Brown, Turquoise Green, Carmine Red, Red, Violet, English Lavender, Persian Blue, Light Gray and the Blender.

After coloring the stamps, I die cut them with the coordinating dies. Next, I arranged the stamps onto the tags and stamped the sentiment. I punched a hole in the top of the tags and added a red bow.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a great day!

Thankful Pumpkin Kitty

Hey there, crafty friends! Leica here, bursting with excitement to share my cute autumn thank-you card with you. I used the Pumpkin Shaker Die and some other dies from Pretty Pink Posh to make this card extra special. Let’s jump right into the creative fun!

Thankful Pumpkin Kitty

To start, I cut out the largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles dies using purple cardstock. Then, I used Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink to add a purple touch at the bottom for an ombre look. To make things interesting, I splashed on some purple watercolor and white ink.

Now, the star of the show: the Pumpkin Shaker Die! I thought it’d be adorable to have a cat on top of the pumpkin. So, I mixed things up by using the fox head from the Fall Mug Additions and the whiskers from the Halloween Mug Additions dies. Super cute, right?

Thankful Pumpkin Kitty

Adding a bit of elegance, I used brown cardstock to foil the Thankful Script. Then, I used the Thankful Shadow Die to make it stand out. I also heat embossed “for you” in white on a strip of black cardstock and put it just under the Thankful script. It added a cool touch!

For an extra pop, I glued teal cardstock behind the card panel. Lastly, I glued the card panel onto an A2-sized white card base.

Thankful Pumpkin Kitty

That’s the story of my pumpkin shaker card with a sweet kitty twist. I pictured it in my mind, and I’m so glad it turned out cute. Thanks for spending time with me today! Have a fantastic day filled with creativity and smiles.

Happy Fall Jar

Hi friends! This is Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook and I’m thrilled to be on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today sharing a card I created with the fall release. I paired the super fun Fall Jar stamps and dies with the Deco Leaves stencil.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Fall Jar

I can tell the seasons are changing when I’m reaching for all of those rich, deep colors in my inks and copic markers. It’s almost subconscious because I love fall so much!

Today, I started my card with the messy background so it had time to dry while I was working on the other elements. First I inked up a 4×5.25 inch white piece of cardstock with distress oxide inks in aged mahogany and crackling campfire. I splattered the panel with water and blotted it dry before attaching the Deco Leaves stencil over the top and spreading Thermoweb Aged Copper Metallix through it.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Fall Jar

I removed the stencil, set the panel aside and cleaned everything before switching gears to stamping and coloring.

I stamped out all of those sweet images from the Fall Jar stamp set and colored everything with copic markers before using the coordinating dies to cut it all out. Then I used liquid glue to adhere all of the parts and pieces together except the mouse. He needed to stand out in a foam square.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Fall Jar

When my stenciled background was dry, I used liquid glue to adhere it to a white card base. Then I used the main die in the Spring Circles die set to cut a green label. I added the jar to that with foam strips and did the same to add the label to my background panel.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Fall Jar

To finish things off, I tied jute twine around the top of the card and tied it in a bow. Then I added Touch of Gloss to the berries, small leaves and spots on the mushroom.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Autumn Theme Week: Day 7

Autumn Theme Week: Day 7

Hi friends! Welcome to the last day of Autumn Theme Week.

It’s Zsofi here today and I am sharing a heartwarming Fall scene mixing old and new stamp sets. I love all the different pumpkins from the Autumn Pumpkins stamp set and wanted to pair them with some cute critters. I chose the adorable foxes from Winter Woodland.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 7

First I stamped and coloured the imags with Copic markers and cut them out with their coordinating dies.

Then I gold foiled the Thankful Hot Foil plate using a Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Platform. I found that the best results I get with the Hammermill 100lb white cardstock, it is a game changer. The Thankful Shadow die cut the sentiment perfectly, it looks amazing. I white heat embossed the rest of the sentiment from the Fall Jar stamp set on a thin strip of black cardstock.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 7

For the background I die cut light grey cardstock with the largest Stitched Torn Rectangles die an added a little bit of shading to the edges with black ink. I also added gold splatters to the panel using Gansai Tambi watercolours. It is an easy way to get some texture.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 7

Then I assembled the scene using 3D foam squares behind the foxes, so they stand out. As a fishing touch I used a white gel pen to add highlights and a black glaze pen to make the eyes and noses shiny. I also added a bit of glossy accents to the stems of the pumpkins. Isn’t it a lovely scene of gratitude?

Autumn Theme Week: Day 7

I wish you liked my card and got inspired to mix your older stamps with the new ones. Make sure you check out the previous days’ posts too, to see all the amazing Autumn inspiration from the design team.

Thank you for stopping by and see you soon,
Zsofi

Autumn Theme Week: Day 6

Autumn Theme Week: Day 6

Hi everyone! This is Sindhu with you today and I’m very excited to share with you a couple of fall themed cards. One is full of colour and the other is almost monochromatic.

Save 15% on all items in our Thanksgiving section during theme week!

Autumn Theme Week: Day 6

Here is the list of supplies I used to make card 1-

I started by creating a mask that I cut free hand. Instead of a perfect circle, I went for a wonky, fun look. I adhered the mask at the bottom left of the white cardstock panel that measures 4”x5.25”. Then, I lightly ink blended the whole panel with a soft kraft coloured ink. On it, I stenciled the background using the same ink with a heavier hand to achieve a slightly darker shade.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 6

Once I was happy with the background, I splattered kraft and green inks on it and removed the initially placed mask. On a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock,  I stamped the images and coloured them with Copic markers. I used coordinating dies to cut them out.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 6

Copic colours used-

  • Squirrel- E35, E33, E31, E30. For the white part- W3, W1, W00. Cheeks- R22, R20, R000.
  • Acorns- E59, E57, E55 and caps of the Acorn- E41, E40.

Glued the images in place and stamped the sentiment. Glued the finished panel on a kraft card base.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 6

Products used for card 2-

To make this card, I started by stamping several leaves on a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock and used the coordinating stencil to colour them. It was SO easy and lots of fun! I used dye inks to ink blend inside the leaves and I chose shades of green, red, orange and yellow.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 6

I used coordinating dies to cut them out. Then, on a piece of white cardstock measuring 4”×5.25”, I lightly ink blended a soft blue on the background. I also splattered blue ink on it. Once dry, I adhered the leaves and cut off the parts that were hanging off the edges. Then, glued the frame and finished the card with a pastel blue card base.

I hope you like the cards and are inspired to create some fall themed cards.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 5

Autumn Theme Week: Day 5

Hi friends, Jeanne here. There are so many beautiful Autumn stamps and dies available at Pretty Pink Posh, that the hardest thing to do is choose a favorite. I’m mixing a little old with the new on this bright and whimsical card!

Save 15% on all items in our Thanksgiving section during theme week!

Autumn Theme Week: Day 5

The Fall Jar is a new favorite for me! I love the jar and all the different ways you can personalize it with sunflowers, fall leaves, sprigs of wheat, butterflies and the cutest mouse ever! 

Autumn Theme Week: Day 5

Whenever I get a new stamp set I will ink it several times and then color all the images experimenting with different color combinations. After I cut them all with the coordinating die set it’s time to play! I arrange the images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card front before committing and adhering everything in place. 

Autumn Theme Week: Day 5

The clear plastic also allows me to move the entire arrangement at one time as I decide what background will complete the perfect arrangement. I am smitten with the Stacked Edges and Stitched Strips that make assembling backgrounds a snap. The die cuts fit together perfectly like puzzle pieces for a clean smooth die cut background.  

Autumn Theme Week: Day 5

I just add double sided adhesive to my card front and then start adhering the die cut strips. When you flip the card over, it’s easy to trim off the excess from the outer edges. I always cut several strips at one time and then keep the spares in an envelope so I have lots to choose from when it’s time to make.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 5

I hope you’re enjoying these crisp fall days. I love that I can capture every season from the comfort of my home with my favorite fall images.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 4

Hi Friends! It is Melody here on the blog today for another day of the Autumn Theme Week. My card is created with a mix of Pretty Pink Posh products, both new and previously released. Let’s get started! 

Save 15% on all items in our Thanksgiving section during theme week!

One of my favorite new products from the Fall Release is the Fall Jar Stamp Set. There are a variety of different stamps to fill the jar and create different scenes. I started by stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloring with Copic Markers. Then I die cut the images with the Fall Jar Coordinating Dies.

I added twine around the top of the jar and added the tag with a stamped sentiment from the Fall Jar Stamp Set. Next I stenciled the green cardstock with the Deco Leaves Stencil. I added a panel of vellum die cut with the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies. The vellum helps the stamped images stand out from the background but still lets the pattern show through. 

On the bottom portion of the card I stamped the Fall Borders Stamp Set with Kraft Ink on Kraft cardstock. To separate the patterns I added a strip of cardstock die cut with the Stitched Strips Dies and border die cut with the Eyelet Borders Dies

I finished off the card with a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Fall Stamp Set and a few Metallic Gold Jewels.

Thanks so much for joining me today.
