Snappy Birthday

Hello, Gemma here today and I have a snappy birthday card to share, featuring the Birthday Signs stamp set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Snappy Birthday

I stamped out the crocodile and cupcakes from the Birthday Signs stamp set, and coloured them with copic markers.

Copic colours: Crocodile: YG61-67, YR30-31, N0-3, R22-27, Y11 Cupcakes: E30-33, Y00-13, R22-27, YG03-05

I stamped a sentiment from the set on the croc’s sign, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I added two more layers behind the crocodile for dimension.

Next, I worked on my background. I used the Streamers stencils with Squeezed Lemonade and Mowed Lawn distress oxide inks. I trimmed the panel down to 5.5” high and 3 7/8” wide.

When I want to add a critter to a strong background, I like the soften it with vellum so the critter stands out. I cut a strip of vellum, 1 3/4” tall. I adhered the crocodile to the centre with liquid glue, then wrapped the vellum around the stenciled panel and secured with tape at the back. I adhered the panel in the centre of an A2 card base, leaving some white space at either edge.

For a pop of red, to match the party hat, I die cut two thin Stitched Strips from red sparkle card. I adhered these above and below the vellum panel, then added the cupcakes with foam tape to finish this birthday card.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you were inspired to create a birthday card from the new collection of products!

Celebrate Birthday Mug + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be back on the blog! Have you ever made a “mug cake” before? I thought it would be fun to make a shaker birthday mug cake and use the Winter Mug Dies, Valentine Mug Addition Dies, and Birthday Mug Addition Dies all together!

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

I started with die cutting all of the pieces I needed from the different die sets in colored
cardstock. I will add in some color to each of the images using Distress Oxide ink or my alcohol
markers so there is some dimension to the pieces. Starting with colored cardstock and adding in
ink is one of my favorite ways to have color without having to completely color a piece of white
cardstock in ink. For extra texture on the cake die cut, I also stamped the solid confetti in brown
ink from the Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set.

To make the card extra festive, I used the Streamers Stencil to create a background. The “A”
stencil was colored using Distress Oxides in Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed
Lemonade and Cracked Pistachio. The “B” stencil was colored using Platinum Stencil Butter – I
love the mix of bright colors and silver together!

While the background was drying, I started assembling the shaker birthday mug cake together.
The shaker bits are the adorable sprinkles from the Birthday Cake Clay Confetti. I also made
my sentiment in silver foil with Hot Foil Large Celebrate and Large Celebrate Shadow Die.

Once my background was dry, I assembled the card together and added a sparkly frame die cut
using the A2 frame from Fancy Cake Dies. I hope you enjoy today’s video and that it brings you
inspiration for using your Mug Dies all together – especially to create a fun shaker!

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

Bright Birthday Combo

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today, sharing a birthday card and a gift card holder. My paper projects today features the newest dies from Pretty Pink Posh. Let’s get started! 

Pretty Pink Posh: Bright Birthday Combo

For the card, I started with a 5” square white cardstock that I ink blended with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink. I sprayed it with water for an oxidized effect and splattered some white ink. I then took scraps of white cardstock and ink blended them with various Distress Oxide Inks (Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, Saltwater Taffy, Salvaged Patina, Spiced Marmalade, Spun Sugar, Squeezed Lemonade) and cut the party hat die from the Birthday Mug Addition Dies a few times. I mix and match different colors for my hats and foam mounted them onto the card panel. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Bright Birthday Combo

Next, I hot foiled the Hot Foil Large Celebrate and cut it with the coordinating die cut. I love that PPP has hot foil stamps now! I stamped the sub sentiment directly onto the card base, using Versafine Onyx black ink. I added some pearls here and there for interest and adhered the panel onto a 5” square card base.

Pretty Pink Posh: Bright Birthday Combo

I’ve made an extra party hat, so I decided to use it on a gift card holder. I cut the Gift Card Bag die twice in white cardstock and inked through the Medium Dots Stencil with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. I then cut a scallop circle which I ink blended with Salvaged Patina and a circle in white cardstock  from the Valentine Circles Dies. I foam mounted the party hat on the white circle cardstock, matted it onto the scallop circle, and glued it on the paper bag. Next, I cut the word “celebrate” in gold cardstock and glued it under the party hat. Lastly, I stamped the “to” and “from” from the Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set in Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink.

I sure hope you like today’s projects and that you’ll enjoy crafting with these new dies as much as I have. Thanks for stopping by!

Ombre Fancy Cake

Hello friends, it’s Leica here today. I am sharing a birthday card using the Fancy Cake Dies. This new die really is very fancy and can be decorated in many ways. I love the scallop piece and decided to make an ombre cake with it. Let’s get started!

Pretty Pink Posh: Ombre Fancy Cake

For the background, I cut a white cardstock down to 4.25” x 5.5” and ink through the Medium Polka Dots Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks. From top to bottom, I used Tattered Rose, Saltwater Taffy, Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, and Picked Raspberry. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Ombre Fancy Cake

Next, I worked on the cake, which I cut in white cardstock. I cut it again in gold and used that for the cake stand. I then cut 5 scallop pieces, ink blended them with the same inks used for the background, sprayed some water for an oxidized effect, and then I splattered some white ink. I cut the candles in glitter paper and used Copic markers for the candle. After gluing all the pieces together, I cut 3 more of the cake die and glued them together for dimension. Sometimes, I like doing this method for dimension better than using foam tape. It just looks cleaner and it’s also sturdy. At the end, I placed a sheet of vellum in between the stenciled panel and the cake to soften the background.

Lastly, I stamped the Birthday Sentiment inside the card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card share! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Two Projects, One Die Set

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Today I’m making two projects with the Gift Card Bag die set from the birthday release. I’ll use it to make a standalone gift bag as well as a gift card pocket that you can add to the front of a card. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Two Projects, One Die Set

If you would like to see how I made my projects, be sure to check out my video below.

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

Give a gift card in style with the Gift Card Bag die set. The bag has a 1/4 inch opening and it is just the right size to hold a gift card, money, or a gift certificate. The die set also comes with two word dies. One of the word dies says “For You” and the other one says “Celebrate.”

When putting the bag together, you will need to die cut the gift card bag die two times, one for the front of the bag and one for the back of the bag. Then use glue or double-sided tape to adhere the flaps together. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Two Projects, One Die Set

You can add a sentiment to the front or add other dies and stamps to decorate the bag. I used the candle dies from the Birthday Mug Additions die set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Two Projects, One Die Set

The Gift Card Bag die set can also be used as a pocket on the front of a card. When using it as a pocket, you only need to die cut the bag one time and then glue the three flaps to the front of the card.

Tip: Make sure you don’t put glue on the entire back of the bag or else you will not be able to insert a gift card. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Two Projects, One Die Set

I decorated the front of the bag with a Scallop Circle die and added the alligator from the Birthday Signs stamp set. I also used the Streamers Stencil to add a pattern to the bag.

I thought it would be fun to have balloons coming out of the bag so I added the balloons from the Birthday Balloons stamp set.

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

Party Animal

Hi folks, Kavya here with another fun card using a bunch of products form the latest release! I love the new Birthday Signs. They pair so well with so many stamp sets and I can’t stop coming up with fun combinations!

Pretty Pink Posh: Party Animal

I started off by ink blending the edges of a Kraft cardstock with brown dye ink. Then, I splattered some paint and water to make it dramatic. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Birthday Signs, Wish, Build A Cupcake and Sweet Treats (the exclusive free gift for qualifying orders). I added a sentiment from the Large Celebrate Shadow die and arranged all the elements to finish off my card!

Pretty Pink Posh: Party Animal

It’s so fun to mix and match, love how this one turned out! I hope this card inspired you to play around with your stamp sets to come up with fun combinations!

Happy crafting, Kavya

Happy Birthday Mug

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a fun birthday card using the latest stencils and dies from PPP. If you’re on Instagram, be sure to join us later this morning as we kick off a four day Instagram hop.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Birthday Mug

To start, I cut a 5” square in white cardstock and ink blended through the Streamers Stencils with Dried Marigold, Salvaged Patina, Spun Sugar, and  Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink. I splattered some pink and white acrylic paint for added interest. Next, I cut a sheet of vellum to 4” square and used it to soften the background. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Birthday Mug

I then cut the Winter Mug in cardstock that I painted with a cream acrylic paint. I cut the center with the “it’s your day” die and glued a pink glitter cardstock behind the script. I glued the negative pieces. Next, I ink blended scraps of white cardstock and ink blended them with the same Distress Oxide inks I used for the background. I cut the dies from the Birthday Mug Addition Dies and foam mounted all the elements onto the card base. Lastly, I glued some Creamsicle pearls  here and there for added interest and glued the card panel onto a 5” square card base.

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Birthday Mug

That completes my card. If you have the Winter Mug Dies, this new Birthday Mug Addition Dies would be a great addition to your collection. Even if you do not have the Winter Mug Dies, you can still use the Birthday Mug Addition dies on their own and make birthday cards with it. 

Thanks for stopping by the PPP Blog! Enjoy your day!

Day 4: 9th Birthday Celebration Hop

Day 4: 9th Birthday Celebration Hop

Day 1 CLICK HERE //  Day 2 CLICK HERE // Day 3 CLICK HERE

Hello and welcome! It’s Leica here on the blog and today I’m sharing the cutest little bags using the new Gift Card Bag Dies. These are fun and easy to make, perfect for any occasion. 

Day 4: 9th Birthday Celebration Hop

To make the bag, you will need to cut 2 pieces in the cardstock of your choice. Take 1 piece and fold along the perforated line. Take the other piece and cut along the perforated line. Add glue on the tabs of one bag and adhere the other piece. 

Day 4: 9th Birthday Celebration Hop

For my projects, I used 3 different shades of pink cardstock (from the big box craft store). I then cut 3 of the scallop circles in glitter silver cardstock and 3 of the circles in white cardstock from the Valentine Circle Die. Next, I ink blended scraps of paper with Distress Oxide Inks and used them for the party hats die, which is from the Birthday Mug Addition Dies. I then cut 3 small tags, stamped birthday sentiments, and tied the tags onto the bag with twine. 

Day 4: 9th Birthday Celebration Hop

Super easy, right?! You can even use patterned paper or you can ink through any of the PPP stencils with the colors of your choice. I’ll definitely be making more of these as I like giving gift cards as gifts to my family and friends.
