Pastel Bunny Cupcake

Hello crafty friends! This is Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook. I’m excited to be on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today sharing a card I created using the new March release of goodies, plus some previously released dies that I seem to reach for over and over again.

I started by stamping my bunny cupcake image from the Easter Cupcakes set using a brown copic-friendly ink. I colored the image and used the coordinating die to cut it out. Then I switched gears to stenciling my background panel.

For that, I layered the Easter Words stencil over a piece of white cardstock and randomly inked it with light and bright spring colors. After I removed the stencil I went over the panel with the same color in all the different areas. This brings another layer to the words and colors in the white background at the same time. Once that was done I used the largest Wonky Stitched Rectangle die to cut the panel out.

I cut a white tag and yellow circle using the Spring Circles coordinating dies and ink blended a yellow shadow on the white tag. I layered all my pieces with foam squares, then glued the tag to the stenciled panel with liquid glue.

Then, I stamped a sentiment from the Easter Train set and cut it out with a Sentiment Strip die and popped it up below my cupcake. Before popping the whole thing up on a card base, I took a light orange ink pad and drug it across the edges for a textured inky look.

For finishing touches I just added glossy accents to the bunny’s nose and eyes.

Are you ready for Easter yet? We’re excited at my house! I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Layered Butterfly Floral Card Duo

Hello everyone! Leanne here and I’m thrilled to be guest on the blog today. I have a duo of butterfly cards to share. Both my cards feature a stenciled background and die cut layered butterflies. I created the backgrounds for my cards with the new Layered Butterfly Floral Stencil Set. Trust me when I say this stencil set is very addictive. I could not stop playing with it! I kept wanting to try out different color palettes. I’m sharing a couple favorites from my stenciling session.

I have trimmed my stenciled panels down so they fit onto an A2 size card base. The length of these panels is 4 7/8″ inches. I wanted them to be a bit shorter than A2 length so I could add a strip of card stock at the bottom. I thought this would help draw attention to the sentiment. The sentiments I used come from two new stamp sets… Decorative Butterflies and Sentiment Strips: Easter. I used a die from the Sentiment Strips dies to create the stitched scalloped pieces I’ve adhered my sentiments to.

For each card I have added two layered butterflies. There’s many sizes to pick from in the new Stitched Butterflies die set. I chose four different ones. I die cut the back layer from vellum. The top layers are die cut from card stock to match my stenciled color palettes. I lightly inked the bottom edge of each card stock butterfly just to add some subtle shading. I adhered the layers together with thin foam tape. This gives a nice little bit of separation from the two layers and adds some dimension.

To finish off these cards, I added a scattering of Sparkling Clear Sequins. These are my go to embellishments when I want to add a little bling but not distract from the main elements on the card.

This card design is quick, easy, and definitely fun to make. It would be perfect for mass producing to make gift sets of note cards. The butterfly theme can go for many occasions just by switching up the colors and sentiments. I have a feeling I’ll be reaching for these new butterfly dies and stencils often this spring and summer.

Big Bunny Cupcake

Hi crafty friends! It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today. My card features an adorable Easter bunny cupcake. I used products from the new Easter and spring release to make my card.

For the background of my card, I used the Easter Words Stencil. This stencil is perfect for Easter cards with words such as “Spring,” “Happy Easter,” and “Hop, Hop, Hop.” I inked the stencil with Scrapbook.com Pink Lemonade ink. I chose this ink because it closely matches the pink cardstock I used for the bunny’s ears.

I used the Bunny Face Shaker dies for the Easter bunny face. This die set can be used to make a bunny face shaker, but I didn’t use it as a shaker for my card. I love how it fits perfectly on top of the cupcake wrapper from the Big Easter Cupcake dies.

I added flowers above the Easter bunny’s head using the Spring Foliage Dies. I added two Easter eggs and a carrot from the Big Easter Cupcake. I topped it off with a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Easter stamp set and coordinating dies.

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

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

Hello, friends. Barbara here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog and I am so happy to share a project I made using some of the brand new products.

I have made a fun shaker card using the new Bunny Face Shaker die. I made this card using an A2 size card base cut from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down another piece of white cardstock to leave a bit of a white border. I then placed the new Easter Words stencil over the white panel and added distress ink over the stencil. I then removed the stencil and ink blended a bit lighter using the same distress inks.

Using a paintbrush, I flicked some distress ink over the stenciled background for some interest. I then die cut the Bunny Face Shaker from white cardstock and added a piece of acetate to the back of the bunny face. I flipped over the bunny face and added the shaker elements to the inside of the bunny and also some foam tape to adhere the piece of white cardstock behind the bunny face to enclose the shaker bits. I trimmed it down and adhered it to the center of the stenciled panel. I then die cut and ink blended the carrots from the new Big Easter Cupcake die set and added them to the bottom of the card.

Last, I die cut a banner from the Love From Afar die set and stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Easter stamps.

Day 2: March Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE

Hello crafty friends, Marine here. I’m super happy to share with you this lovely card that features some of the brand new products from the March 2024 Release: the Spring Mug Additions die set and the Layered Floral Vines stencils. Love how both items match so beautifully, such a great duo!

First thing I created was the background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and started off by covering the piece of paper with spun sugar oxide ink to get a nice soft base. Next I used the Layered Floral Vines stencils to add flowers and greenery to this light pink background. For the flowers I applied worn lipstick oxide ink that I blended in with spun sugar oxide ink, and used worn lipstick again for the center of the flowers. And for the greenery I applied rustic wilderness oxide ink that I blended in with mowed lawn oxide ink.

Every time I create an ink blended background, I like to add texture to make it more interesting. So I first splattered some water all over the panel that I dried using a paper towel. Next I mixed some white ink with water and used a small brush to add more splatters to my panel, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink.

While my panel was drying, I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock. I used most of the Spring Mug Additions dies to cut everything, but also used the mug and the beverage dies from Winter Mug, as well as the sign die from Big Easter Cupcake to complete my little scene. I cut the bees’ wings out of pearlescent vellum, added black stripes to their bodies using a black marker, and white heat embossed my “Happy Spring” greeting from Easter Signs on the sign.

I assembled and attached everything on my Layered Floral Vines panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and added highlights and details using a white gel pen. And that’s it! It’s definitely springtime on a card, I love those beautiful flowers and cute bees! I hope you like them, too.

Hi crafty friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back with a fun Springtime card to share with you all.

I started my card by die cutting my butterflies with the Stitched Butterflies die set. I attached the butterflies to a soft gray card panel with foam adhesive. Next, I used the Spring Mug Additions die set to die cut my small stitched circles and the Big Easter Cupcake die set to die cut the small flowers (which actually can be used as a bunny tail). I then attached the small flowers and stitched dots to fill in my panel in a random pattern.

Lastly, I used the Sentiment Strips: Easter stamp set to stamp my sentiment. Although I made a springtime/Easter card I think this same design will work great for a birthday card or even to welcome a new baby. The color combinations are endless! I hope I inspired you to create a similar card of your own.

Sneak Peek: March 2024 Stencils

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at two of the new stencils that will be released. It was hard to pick which two to create first as they’re all absolutely perfect for the Spring season, but I decided I just had to use the Layered Bunny Faces for a cute critter card and Layered Floral Vines for a floral card for Mother’s Day.

New release will be available March 6th

For the first card, I used the Layered Bunny Faces with a white pigment ink for Stencil (A) with the bunny shapes, Black Soot Distress Oxide for Stencil (B) with the bunny face details, and Rosy Cheeks Lunar Paste for Stencil (C) with the bunny ears and nose! I used kraft cardstock as I thought it would be so fun to have the bunnies in white.

When the stenciled bunnies were dry, I trimmed the panel to 4-1/4×5-1/2” (A2 size). I cut Bunny Face Shaker dies from white, black and pink cardstock to create a matching bunny face to the stenciled panel. I also cut the second largest Eyelet Circle out of pink cardstock, the carrots from Big Easter Cupcake in green and orange cardstock, and finally my Sentiment Strips out of white cardstock. I used “Hoppy Spring” from the Sentiment Strips: Easter stamp set!

For the second card, I wanted to create a Mother’s Day card with pink daisies, so I used those colors to inspire my stenciling! I started with a green ink for the vines on Stencil (A), pink ink for the flowers on Stencil (B), and Shooting Stars Lunar Paste for the center of the flowers with Stencil (C).

When it was dry, I cut the panel to 4×5-1/4″ and adhered it to a base of pink cardstock. I stamped and colored the images with alcohol markers from Daisies and used the Daisies coordinating dies to cut them out. I also hot foiled “Mother” from the Mom/Mother Foil Plates and used the Mom/Mother Shadow dies to cut it out. It’s a simple, but I think elegant card to sit on a mantel for the holiday!

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of the new Layered Bunny Faces and Layered Floral Vines Stencils. I hope you’re excited for this new release just as I was to receive these stencils to give you inspiration today!

Sneak Peek: March 2024 Dies

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I am so excited to share sneak peeks of the new dies today. You are going to love them! They are everything that makes a heart happy in the spring. Not only that, but you will probably also be delighted to hear that the dies are no longer wired together, which means they are ready for crafting right out of the package. Yay!

New release will be available March 6th

For all of you butterfly lovers out there, this release is going to make you really happy. The new Butterfly Cover Plate and Stitched Butterflies are fabulous! I used both on my card today. I pulled my color scheme from the new Pastel Party Shaker Beads, so naturally I needed to make a shaker card. I just love the way the beads sound!

After die cutting several of the Stitched Butterflies with cardstock and vellum, I layered them together. You are going to love the variety of sizes and styles! I wanted them to playfully fly across my card, so I added little flight trails using 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.

PS If you look closely inside the butterfly windows, you will also see a peek of the new Pierced Leafy Vines Plate that I used on my card base.

I finished the card with the new Spring Script Die and a sentiment from Sentiment Strips: Easter.

My next card just screams spring (but in the happiest way). The new Bunny Face Shaker is absolutely darling! I decided to make her a little girl bunny, and gave her a flower crown using the new Spring Mug Additions. (No worries, though…I made a little boy bunny on a different card and they are equally adorable.)

I created a colorful background using the Easter Egg Border Dies and used a vellum circle cut with the largest Eyelet Circle Die, so the sweet bunny would still stand out from the busy background.

Then I embossed a sentiment from the previously released Easter Wreath Stamp Set onto a rounded stitched rectangle found in the Big Easter Cupcake Dies. Finally I framed the sentiment with two tulips from the Spring Mug Additions.

This card instantly makes me smile every time I see it. I hope it makes you smile, too!

Thanks so much for joining me today! I used many of the new dies on my cards, but there are a few more that I haven’t shared yet, so make sure you come back all week to see more of this fabulous new release. You won’t want to miss any of it!

Sneak Peek: Decorative Butterflies

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a sneak peek of the new Decorative Butterflies stamp set. The Decorative Butterflies stamp set includes both solid and outline butterflies, along with patterns and sentiments.

New release will be available March 6th

For my first card, I used the solid images to stamp with dye inks. I added patterns with a darker ink in the same colour family, then went one ink darker for the butterfly bodies.

I die cut everything with the coordinating dies and adhered the bodies onto the butterfly wings.

Next, I used the new Layered Butterfly Lattice stencil set. This is a 2 layer stencil set, and I used a light grey ink on the lattice and Nuvo Glacier Paster in Winter White for the butterflies. Once dry, I trimmed this down to 5” square and adhered to a 5.25” card base.

To add a place for my sentiment to go, I die cut one of the new Eyelet Circles from white card. I stamped a sentiment from the Decorative Butterflies stamp set, then adhered the circle in the centre of my card.

I finished by adding the butterflies with foam tape for dimension.

For my second card, I used the outline images in the Decorative Butterflies stamp set.

I stamped them over some patterned papers, then added shading with copic markers. On some of the images, I heat embossed the patterns with gold embossing powder.

Copic colours:
R30 R20 R22; RV00 RV10 RV21: G40 G43; B000-01; BV00-02; E70 E71 E74

I cut a panel of white card, 5.5” x 2.75”, and adhered butterflies across the panel. For the butterflies without patterns added, I decided not to add the bodies so they were more of a background element.

I trimmed away anything overhanging the edges of the panel, then adhered it on an A2 card base. I adhered a strip of patterned paper below, then stamped a sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips: Easter stamp set to finish.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the March 6th release!
