Day 2: October Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE 

Hi friends, it’s Lindsey here. My favorite crafty thing to make during the holidays is actually not cards. It’s tags! I try to make special tags for my family every year, and my children and nieces have started using them as tree decorations.  

Day 2: October Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

I pulled out my much-loved Winter Mug and used the Holiday Mug Additions to dress it up. Inside the mug I tucked in the little tree stick and peppermint from the new dies and a candy cane from the Winter Mug dies

Day 2: October Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

I also sprinkled on some snowflakes from the new Candy Cane Lane Mix. Oh, and that wonderful puff of whipped cream is actually Santa’s beard (a die in the Holiday Mug Additions) that I adhered upside down. 

Day 2: October Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

My final project is a large tag made from the new Stocking Shaker die. I filled it with Candy Cane Lane Clay Confetti Mix. Then, I tucked in some candy canes (Winter Mug dies) and a gift (Build A Gift Dies). 

Day 2: October Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

The final touch was a little tag made using the Holiday Mug Additions and Stocking Shaker Die

To give you some perspective of size and scale, here is everything I made recently all together…happy sigh. :)

Day 1: October Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

Day 1: October Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

The October 2023 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post yesterday, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Mindy has that for you today!

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

Hello crafty friends! Leica here, and I’ve got a joyful holiday shaker card to share with you to kick off the blog hop.

To get things rolling, I took an A2-sized piece of pink cardstock and gave it a candy cane print background using the Layered Candy Canes Stencils. For Layer A, I used Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink, and for Layer B, I applied Finnabair Snowflake Paste.

I created a frame from white cardstock using the Fancy Cake Dies and glued a piece of acetate on the back of the frame. Then, I surrounded the frame with foam tape, and for the shaker fun, I filled it up with the Candy Cane Lane Mix.

For the main attraction of my card, I added a stocking using the Build A Stocking die set. I incorporated some greenery from the Winter Foliage Dies and adorned it with a gold ribbon from the Holiday Mug Additions, topped with a Metallic Gold Pearl.

To make the sentiment pop, I hot foiled the “Holidays” in gold and cut it with the Happy Holidays Shadow die. I then heat embossed “happy” on a strip of blue cardstock in gold and placed it just above the “Holiday Shadow.”

Finally, I glued the card panel onto an A2-sized card base. And there you have it, my lovely shaker card. I hope you’ll give shaker cards a whirl for your loved ones this holiday season.

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.

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Dies

Hello! It’s Lindsey today and I’m super excited to be giving you a sneak peek of the amazing new dies releasing this month. They have absolutely put me in the mood for Christmas, and I think you are going to love them!

New release will be available October 11th

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Dies

Today’s projects are extra special for me because these are the colors you will find in my home at Christmastime. The fabric, embellishments and overall design of my family’s stockings inspired my first card. Because I wanted everyone’s stocking to fit, this card is a large, non-traditional size (8.5×4.25).

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Dies

The new Build a Stocking dies are a must have in my opinion. They are so much fun! I had a blast mixing and matching all the little pieces. The creative possibilities are endless! There are two stocking sizes that have multiple solid, stitched, and polka dot overlay options. There are lots of cuff options, too, and even more if you layer them.  

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Dies

The solid outline stocking shapes also make it easy to design your own stocking. I made my floral stocking with berries and leaves from the new Holiday Mug Additions. I also added a little flower embellishment from the Winter Foliage dies onto the red polka dot stocking, but otherwise all the stockings were made using the Build a Stocking dies.

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Dies

The sentiment on my card is soon-to-be-released Merry Christmas Shadow Die. And just FYI, there are two other sentiment dies releasing this month. Yay!

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Dies

Oh, and if you look closely you will see the pierced snowflake design on my card base. That is the fabulous new Pierced Snowflakes Plate. Love, love, love!!! Here’s one last shot of some of the stockings I used in the photos just so you can see more design options. Once you start making these, you aren’t going to want to stop!

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Dies

Okay, on to my second card!  I’m especially fond of the new Tree Cover Plate and was eager to use it.  There are so many cute patterns on these trees, and the card practically makes itself.     

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Dies

After arranging my trees, I simply created a frame with the new Eyelet Rectangles and finished off the card with the previously released Merry & Bright Script Dies

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Dies

This is a huge release, and there are several more dies releasing, so make sure you come back tomorrow to see everything in picture form. Thanks so much for joining me today!

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Stencils

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be back to share a sneak peek of two of the stencils sets coming to the holiday release. The new release is packed full of amazing new products for all of your holiday crafting and includes five new stencil sets! Today I will be using the Layered Christmas Trees set along with the Layered Stocking set.

New release will be available October 11th

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Stencils

My first card uses the Layered Christmas Tree stencil set. This is a three pack of stencils that layer together to create a fun Christmas tree pattern. I decided to use “nontraditional” colors and create my trees in a soft rainbow color palette. I used finger daubers and dye ink for my blending. Once my panel was finished I added a few white splatters with acrylic paint. 

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Stencils

Next, I used the new Eyelet Rectangles die to create my base for my trees and sentiment. I ink blended the rectangle with aqua ink and added three rainbow blended trees that I created with the new Tree Cover Plate. Lastly, I used the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set for my sentiment. 

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Stencils

For my next card, I used the Layered Stockings stencil set.

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Stencils

I started my card by using the Layered Stocking stencil set to create my card panel. This is a set of three stencils that layer together to create an adorable stocking pattern. I once again used dye ink and finger daubers for my blending. On my third (final) layer I added Ranger Texture Paste in Transparent Gloss over the blended ink to give the cuffs of the stockings a little extra “shine”. 

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Stencils

Next, I used the Scallop Frame die to create my frame for the center of my card. I then used the new Build A Stocking die set to create my two stockings for my card. I ink blended the pieces using the same ink as my panel and assembled them with liquid glue. I used a piece of a white flocking transfer sheet to die cut the cuffs to give them a fuzzy texture. I backed my frame with vellum and then attached my two stockings with foam adhesive. Lastly, I used the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set for my sentiment. 

Sneak Peek: October 2023 Stencils

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my cards. I know you will love these amazing new stencils and I can’t wait to see what you create with them!

Enjoy your day,
Dana

Sneak Peek: Christmas Dinosaurs

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a little peek at an adorable new Christmas set, Christmas Dinosaurs stamp set and coordinating dies. The dinos getting ready for Christmas are just the cutest and I love that you can mix them with previously released dinosaur products!

New release will be available October 11th

Sneak Peek: Christmas Dinosaurs

I started my background panel (3.25 x 4.5”) with the Dino Dig Stencil with different color Distress Inks. I used Tea Dye and Vintage Photo for the ground and rocks; and I used Chipped Sapphire, Villainous Potion and Black Soot for the night sky. For the stars, I used Shooting Star Lunar Paste and set it aside to dry.

Next I stamped my images from the Christmas Dinosaurs stamp set with alcohol marker friendly black ink and colored them in with Ohuhu Art Honolulu Markers. When I was done coloring, I used the Christmas Dinosaurs coordinating dies to cut them out. I also cut a yellow patterned paper panel to A2 (4.25 x 5.5”) and the largest Eyelet Rectangles Die out of sparkly white cardstock.

Sneak Peek: Christmas Dinosaurs

Once my background was dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Dinosaurs stamp set and embossed it with white detailed embossing powder. I adhered my patterned paper panel to my A2 card base, then the Eyelet Rectangles Die layer and finally I popped up my stenciled panel with foam adhesive.

Sneak Peek: Christmas Dinosaurs

I layered on my images with foam adhesive around the card and even added some sparkly clear embellishment to the Christmas lights on the palm tree and Stegosaurus. I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of the new Christmas Dinosaurs stamp set and coordinating dies; you’re absolutely going to love the rest of the release. Making Christmas projects is going to be so much fun!

Join us tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!

Sneak Peek: Christmas Cupcakes

Hi friends! It’s Stefanie here today and I’m happy to be giving you a peek at a couple stamps sets releasing soon! The first one is Christmas Cupcakes and the second is Sentiment Strips: Christmas.

New release will be available October 11th

Sneak Peek: Christmas Cupcakes

I combined the two to create a colorful slimline. I started out by stamping all 6 cupcakes on white cardstock and coloring them with a mix of Copics(C) and Ohuhus.

Green: GY2, G410, G130, G110
Red: R8, YR5, R32(C), R20
Teal: BG13(C), BG4, BG10(C)
Purple: P4, P3, V150, RV180, RV160, RV130, RV010
Pink (wrapper): P4, P3, V150, RV180, R21, R20, YR110, RV260
Pink (ears, cheeks): RV180, RV130
Brown: E43-E40(C)
White (blue tint): BG3, B000-B0000(C)
White (gray tint, beard): N1(C), C0(C)
Yellow: YR2, Y3
Blue: R24, B340, BG3, B000
Orange: YR5, R20, YR110, YR030
Skin: E00-E000(C), E11(C)

Then I used the Christmas Cupcakes coordinating dies to cut out the images.

Sneak Peek: Christmas Cupcakes

For the background I cut out a panel slightly smaller than a standard slimline and ink blended a “sky” using Tattered Rose distress oxide after masking a section off the bottom. I faded the blend to white near the top and added some texture by adding some dots using 2 pink markers and some highlights using a white gel pen. Finally I propped this panel on top of my card base using some foam tape.

Sneak Peek: Christmas Cupcakes

The cupcakes were then propped up on the background along with the sentiment. I chose the sentiment, “Joy to the World” since cupcakes bring lots of joy, at least to me. But really, any sentiment from Sentiment Strips: Christmas would have been fitting. The sentiment was stamped on one of the pretty dies from Sentiment Strips Dies

Sneak Peek: Christmas Cupcakes

For final touches I added some white gel pen for highlights on the images as well as some confetti (stars and light pink circles) from the Christmas Tree Clay Confetti mix.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!

Sneak Peek: Holiday Trees

Happy October everyone! This is Melissa and I’m here to share a couple of cards made with the adorable Holiday Trees stamps and coordinating dies from the new collection.

New release will be available October 11th

Sneak Peek: Holiday Trees

I love creating in non traditional colors for the holidays and so for my first card, I die cut my Holiday Trees from pink, aqua, and soft yellow cardstock and a mint green patterned paper. The Holiday Trees set includes a variety of different shapes and sizes of trees with many adorable patterns to choose from.

Sneak Peek: Holiday Trees

I used the new Eyelet Rectangles for my card base. I just love these basic rectangle shapes with an adorable scalloped edge. After stamping each tree with my chosen pattern, I lined them up across the top and bottom of my card, leaving a space across the center for my sentiment.

I used the new Sentiment Strips: Christmas for the stamped portion of my sentiment and the new Merry Script die for the die cut portion of my sentiment. I added tiny peppermint candies from the new Holiday Mug Additions dies, glitter star toppers, and adhesive pearls to embellish my card and finish it off.

Sneak Peek: Holiday Trees

My next card uses a Kraft cardstock tree base for all four of my trees. I wanted my trees to resemble gingerbread cookies, so I added a stamped cardstock layer to resemble the frosting and sprinkles.

Sneak Peek: Holiday Trees

My favorite Eyelet Rectangles dies were used once again and behind my scene, I’ve used the cutest, new stencils from the October Release, the Layered Candy Cane Stencils. These are a must have for Christmas!

Sneak Peek: Holiday Trees

I added a die cut bow and sprigs of greenery to the center of my card, die cut using the Holiday Mug Additions dies once again. I adore all of the wonderful elements in this die set too. My sentiment is from the Holiday Trees stamp set…this sweet set has everything you need to create the cutest holiday cards ever!

Sneak Peek: Holiday Trees

Thanks so much for joining me! I hope you love Holiday Trees just as much as I do! Stop by tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!

Sneak Peek: Holiday Stockings + Winter Birds

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m thrilled to be sharing with you this bright and festive sneak peek showcasing the beautiful Holiday Stockings and Winter Birds sets, along with the amazing Winter Words stencil.

New release will be available October 11th

Sneak Peek: Holiday Stockings + Winter Birds

I started off by cutting a Slimline Peekaboo Window panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I covered the whole piece of paper with spun sugar distress ink, and then used the Winter Words stencil along with worn lipstick distress ink to print a bunch of “Joy”, “Merry & Bright” and “Holly” words all over the panel. I applied a little bit more of worn lipstick distress ink all along the four edges of my panel, and then added some texture: I mixed some festive berries distress ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on my paper, and did the same with white liquid ink.

Sneak Peek: Holiday Stockings + Winter Birds

Next I moved on to the coloring, and stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers in a bright and colorful palette.

Here is a detailed list of the sets I used: • Holiday Stockings: stockings, holly leaves, candy canes, presents, teddy bear, baubles • Winter Birds: birds • Spring Robins: branches

Sneak Peek: Holiday Stockings + Winter Birds

Once the coloring was done, I attached the images on my Winter Words panel using foam squares, I stuck my panel on an 8,5 x 3,5 inches red & white stripy panel, and then on a white card base. I gold heat embossed the “Happy Holidays” greeting from Sentiment Strips: Christmas on white cardstock, trimmed into a slim banner using a die from Sentiment Strips, and attached it on my panel using foam squares.

Sneak Peek: Holiday Stockings + Winter Birds

To bring more shine to my card, I stuck a few Metallic Gold Pearls here and there, and finally added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. And that’s it! I hope that you like this cute and festive card. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you soon!

4 Seasons on 1 Card + Video

Hi everyone! Rebecca Keppel here today with an EASY fun fold and a card with all 4 seasons of the Fruit Tree Dies represented! It’s much easier to understand just how easy this fold is when you see it in action, so be sure to check out the video.

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

4 Seasons on 1 Card + Video

I saw Jennifer McGuire create this super easy fun fold YEARS ago and remembered it when I was trying to figure out how I was going to add all 4 seasons of different trees on one card. Basically you cut two A2 side folding cards and adhere them together. That leaves you with two outer panels and two inner panels that all fold up into one A2 card. And it gives you a place to put four different card panels on one card!

4 Seasons on 1 Card + Video

I used the Fruit Tree Dies to create a spring, summer, fall and winter tree with the different seasonal fruits on them. Each panel got a small sentiment from the Fruit Salad stamp set or Citrus stamp set.

4 Seasons on 1 Card + Video

In the center of the card is a place for your greeting and a larger sentiment. I used the Get Well Soon stamp set that says Sending Love and Hugs.

The Fruit Tree Dies are so versatile and make a great image on your card whatever the season, but I hope you’ll give the four season card a try!

Thanks for stopping by!
Rebecca
