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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

Autumn Pumpkins

Hello friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today sharing a fall card using some products from the September 2023 release. The products I used for my card include the Autumn Pumpkins stamp set with coordinating dies, the Deco Leaves stencil, and the Thankful Shadow dies.

I started by stamping the images from the Autumn Pumpkins stamp set onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I used the following colors:

Orange Pumpkins – Y35, YR04, YR09, R29
Teal Pumpkins – BG11, BG13, BG18
Squash – E50, E42, YR21
Leaves – G40, G43, YG67
Stem – E42, E35

After I colored the images, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

Next, I set the stamped images aside and I worked on my card background. I cut a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. I inked the cardstock with the following Distress Oxide inks: Salvaged Patina, Scattered Straw, and Dried Marigold. I randomly applied the ink so that I had different colors throughout the stencil. Next, I applied Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink to the edges of the stenciled background. To finish off the background, I flicked some gold metallic ink and Walnut Stain Distress ink onto the background.

Finally, I glued the pumpkins and the Thankful word die onto the card layer. Next, I finished my card by adding it to a piece of 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” brown cardstock.

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

Halloween Theme Week: Day 6

Hey there! It’s Leica, and I’m excited to share a Halloween shaker card using a variety of products.

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

First, I created a cool A2-sized background with the Layered Pumpkins Stencils. I adore these stencils; they make card backgrounds so much fun and are super easy to use!

For the shaker part, I crafted a glittery frame with the Fancy Cake Dies. I then stamped some spooky sentiments from the Sentiment Strips: Halloween on the acetate before finishing up the shaker. Inside, I used some Hocus Pocus clay confetti.

To add to the Halloween spirit, I used various dies to create a fun scene:

Mug- Winter Mug Dies
Witch Hat, Spiders, Tombstone- Halloween Mug Additions
Cat- Halloween House
Tree- Fruit Tree Dies

I gave the die cuts some color with a finger dauber and splattered acrylic paint for an extra cool effect. Then, I simply glued them onto the card panel. Finally, I adhered the panel to an A2-sized white card base.

Thank you so much for hanging out with me on the blog today. I hope I’ve inspired you to combine some PPP products for a spooktacular Halloween card.

Halloween Theme Week: Day 4

Hello crafty friends! Davina here to share a “not so spooky” Halloween card with everyone. I always love shopping my stash, and combining my existing collection of goodies, with new products, to make something fun. I feel like I’ve done just that with this sweet ghost shaker and a shaker jar full of candies!

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

I stamped the beautiful jar from the new Fall Jar set using colored ink. Next, I carefully removed the center of the jar by fussy cutting, before using the coordinating die to cut out the complete jar image. I used 1/8 inch scor tape on the backside of the stamped image, to adhere some black mesh tulle. Once in place, I carefully trimmed away the excess mesh and added a second layer of scor tape. I die cut a second jar and arranged some ink blended candies from the Candy Treats die set, and generous amount of little star glitter. I removed the score tape backing and applied the shaker top over the shaker bits and bottom piece. I love making these mesh shakers because they still have movement, but are flatter and easy to mail.

Next, I stamped images from Halloween Cupcakes, Halloween Signs, Halloween Friends, and the sentiment from Ghost Friends. I colored everything with Copic markers and added small white highlights. I die cut the adorable Ghost Shaker and gently inked the edges and gave her some rosy pink cheeks.

Using some Bristle Smooth card stock, I inked the top half of the panel with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Ink, then just the very top with Black Soot. I splattered some black and glittery ink onto the panel before applying Glitter Paste with the Starry Background Stencil. Once dry, I centered the embossed layer onto a striped background panel and arranged my images into the scene using a variety of glues and foam tape.

I really love how spooky cute this turned out using many of my beloved Pretty Pink Posh products, and I hope I have inspired you to dig into your own stamp collection and mix it up! Thank you for stopping by,

Davina

Halloween Theme Week: Day 3

Hi friends! Hope you are enjoying Halloween Theme Week! It’s Stefanie here today and I’m sharing a pair of cards I created using the Halloween Signs stamp set, the Layered Argyle Stencils, and some cute hearts from the Ghostly Friends Clay Confetti.

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

To create the cards, I started by stamping the images out from the recently released Halloween Signs stamp set and coloring them with a mix of Copics(C) and Ohuhus. I also added a cute little ghost from the Halloween Envelopes stamp set.

Pumpkins: Y3, Y4, YR240
Bat: W5(C), W3(C)
Ghosts: W1(C), W00(C)
Browns: E44-E40(C)

Next I used the Halloween Signs Coordinating Dies and the Halloween Envelopes Coordinating Dies to cut out the images.

I knew I wanted to create clean and simple cards, but I wanted to add a little extra touch as well so I decided to trim down my card front on both sides and add a little sliver of coordinating background. I created the background using the Layered Argyle Stencils and distress oxides in Bundled Sage, Antique Linen, and Black Soot.

The card front that I trimmed down was adhered directly onto the stenciled background and the images were adhered on top using foam tape for dimension.

For final touches, I added a couple hearts to each card using the Ghostly Friends Clay Confetti.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like my cards!

Halloween Theme Week: Day 2

Hello crafty friends! It’s Channin here and I’m so so excited to be here at Pretty Pink Posh for Halloween week!! I LOVE Halloween and I had an absolute blast creating this fun pumpkin card and I can’t wait to share it with you!

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

To create this card I first die cut the three pumpkins out of orange cardstock with the Stitched Pumpkin Dies. I then ink-blended over the pumpkins with Spiced Marmalade and Crackling Campfire Distress Ink. I used a shader brush to add definition to the pumpkin ribs. I then die cut the pumpkins with the face dies and set the pumpkins aside.

Next, I die cut the pumpkins a second time but this time out of light yellow cardstock. I then ink-blended the pumpkins in Mustard Seed and Wild Honey Distress Ink and then adhered the orange pumpkins over the yellow with foam adhesive.

Next, I die cut the stems for the pumpkins out of Kraft cardstock. I then ink-blended the stems in Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress Ink and added additional details with copics. I then adhered the stems to the pumpkins with liquid adhesive.

Next, I die cut the leaves out of green cardstock and then ink-blended them in Rustic Wilderness and Forest Moss Distress Ink. Once again I used a shader brush to add definition to the leaves. I then die cut the vines out of dark green cardstock and ink-blended them with a little Forest Moss.

Next, I ink-blended the front of an A2 top-folding Kraft card base with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then pressed some of the Vintage Photo ink onto a sheet of acetate, added water and then splattered the water-downed ink over the corners of the card front. When the card base was dry I then adhered the pumpkin, leaves and vines to the card front.

Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Boo to You stamp set in Versamark ink onto black cardstock. I then poured white embossing powder over the sentiment, heat set it and then die cut it out with the matching die. Lastly, I finished the card by adhering the sentiment to the card front with foam adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed my card. Thank you so much for stopping by!
