Pretty Pink Posh Shop

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

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.

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.

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. 

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!

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!

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

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!
