Sneak Peek: Easter Cupcakes + Easter Train

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here and I’m super excited to be sharing these sneak peeks using Easter Cupcakes Stamps with coordinating dies and Easter Train Stamps with coordinating dies. This release is full of springtime goodness and will keep you busy crafting! Let’s get started!

New release will be available March 6th

For my first card I’m using the adorable new Easter Cupcakes Stamps and Easter Cupcake coordinating dies. I stamped the images and colored them with an array of Ohuhu markers. I also stamped and die cut a few images from an older set called Bunny Friends. Once I had all the images die cut, I added lots of white gel pen highlights. 

For my background I used the new Pierced Leafy Vines Plate, oh friends you’re going to love this die.  The texture from the piercing is phenomenal.  I backed the pierced layer with some light pink cardstock, added some black splatters to the top left corner and bottom right corner of the panel.  I wanted to add a small frame, so I took the large die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies and cut it out of an A2 white card panel.  I then adhered the frame to the panel.  I started placing the images on the card panel and realized I wanted a bit more color on the panel.  I couldn’t help myself, I decided to use another new product called Eyelet Circles Dies!  I adore anything EYELETS!  I made some frames with circles and adhered to the panel.  

I arranged and adhered all the images to the card panel. I still wanted more color on the panel, I used the new Spring Mug Additions Dies for a few flowers!  I was completely thrilled when I saw the new Mug Additions Die set! Final step, I needed a sentiment!  Yay we have a new Sentiment Strips: Easter Stamp Set! I picked a sentiment and added to a few Sentiment Strips dies.  Ta-dah all done!  These cupcakes are super cute, and I’ll be sharing some more projects with these cuties!

For my second card I’m using the new Easter Train stamp set and coordinating dies, these images are the cutest!  I’m using the Valentine Train stamp set with coordinating dies for the engine car. I stamped and colored the images with an array of Ohuhu Markers. I then die cut the images and added white gel pen highlights. Oh, I did use one of the cupcakes from Easter Cupcakes stamps with coordinating dies to fill up the empty car, I think the little chicky looks stink’in adorable!

For my background I added black splatters to top left and lower right of an A2 panel.  I adhered some colorful strips of paper using the Stitched Strips dies.  I then took a piece of white cardstock and used the new Pierced Leafy Vines Plate die and back it with yellow cardstock.  I cut the panel down and adhered it to A2 panel with the strips.  

I arranged the images on the card panel and realized I wanted more color! The new Eyelet Circles dies to the rescue!  I die cut 4 of the smallest circles in colorful cardstock. I arranged them on the card panel, and then adhered the images. I had a few bits left from the Bunny Friends Stamps and coordinating dies, I adorned the panel with the florals. The sentiment was easy-peasy, I used the sentiment from the Easter Train Stamps and coordinating dies. I finished the card with a bit of sparkle on the wheels of the train.  

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the sneak peeks!  The release is chock full of springtime goodness and it’s spectacular!

Sneak Peek: Daisies

Hello everyone! This is Melissa and I’m here to share a couple of cards made with the adorable Daisies stamps and coordinating dies.

New release will be available March 6th

I stamped and heat embossed my sweet flowers from the Daisies stamp set, using watermark ink and white embossing powder on my first card. I loved this darling bouquet of daisies and wanted to bring them to life with watercolor markers. They look so cute bunched together, tied up with the bow you can find in the Daisies set.

I matted my daisies on one of the new die cut Eyelet Circles dies. I adore these new circles…they make your focal point and sentiments pop all while adding soft curves and scallops.  

Behind my daisies, I have used the delightful, new Layered Butterfly Floral stencils. What a sweet treat they are and they look so cute paired with the Daisies stamp set. I added in a die cut Scallop Frame on my card base to frame everything in perfectly.  All that was left was the sentiment from the new Decorative Butterflies stamp set.

I wanted to share a different technique with you on my second card, so I paper-pieced my tiny daises and love how they turned out. Paper-piecing is one of my favorite techniques, because I love the quilted, pieced together look.  

I layered each of my paper-pieced daises on the smallest die cut Eyelet Circles, cutting each from a different color. I layered this trio of circles across the front of my horizontal card. I love the colorful, simplicity of them all lined up together, don’t you?

To create my background, I used the Daisies stamp set, stamping flowers and leaves in coordinating colors found in my paper-pieced daisies.  I then sponged ink over the surfaces of each and die cut my background using the largest Eyelet Rectangles dies. My sentiment was added last, using the Decorative Butterflies stamp set once again.  

I adore these new products from Pretty Pink Posh and am officially ready for Spring! Thanks for visiting, stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Melissa

Party Balloons + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I was inspired by some birthday patterned paper I had in my crafty stash to make colorful balloons on a birthday card!

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

I started with die cutting the Pierced Stars Plate Die from a piece of confetti patterned paper to be the background of the card. Then I cut out different pieces from the Party Balloons Dies to make six different balloons – the traditional and star balloons. I layered different pieces together to create a striped, star balloon and a balloon with star details. There are also balloons cut from holographic paper to create the look of mylar balloons!

Once the balloons were ready, I also had the balloon strings from the Party Balloons Dies in a dark blue cardstock, I layered them with liquid glue and foam adhesive in 1mm and 2mm thicknesses on to the Pierced Stars background.

My sentiment is stamped from the Birthday Train Stamp Set to create “Hooray It’s Your Day”. I stamped “Hooray” on white cardstock in blue ink and used the Birthday Train Coordinating Die to cut it out. “It’s Your Day” is stamped in the same blue ink on cardstock cut into a banner from the Sentiment Strips Dies.

I added the sentiments to the card, under the balloons, with foam adhesive to finish the card! I hope you enjoyed today’s process video for a fun and relatively quick and easy party card.

Pastel Birthday Shaker

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

Pretty Pink Posh: Pastel Birthday Shaker

I started my card by making my card panel with the Layered Balloons stencil set. This is a three pack of stencils that layer together to create a fun background. Next, I created my frame with the Scallop Frame die. I attached a piece of vellum behind the frame to soften the background and added Shaker Strips around the edges to create depth for the shaker. I filled the shaker with a mixture of MintStrawberry and Purple Shimmer Confetti

Pretty Pink Posh: Pastel Birthday Shaker

Once my shaker was assembled I set it aside and began working on my birthday images. I used the Party BalloonsParty Hats, and Birthday Candles die sets for the images. I die cut the pieces from white cardstock and ink blended each individual piece with dye ink. I used liquid glue to assemble the images and added a few white paint splatters for a little added detail. I then used the Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set and Sentiment Strips die set for my sentiment. Lastly, I attached everything to the top of my shaker with foam adhesive to finish my card.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. I will be back soon to share another project with you all.

Enjoy your day, Dana

St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake

Hello crafty friends! Davina here to share a bit of Luck with you. I just can’t get over how cute all the new St. Patrick’s Day products are. One of the first projects I made was this St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake themed card. 

I used the fantastic Big Valentines Day Cupcake Dies and the Lucky Stamp set and coordinating dies combined with the older Leprechaun image from the Best of Luck stamp set. After stamping, coloring, and ink blending my images, I assembled them over a clover filled back ground that I made using the Layered Shamrocks Stencil. I gently splattered some metallic gold ink and matted with yellow and green layers. 

I embossed my sentiment onto a black banner cut from the Sentiment Strip Die Set, and added a bakers twine bow to the top corner. I finished this off with the addition of some clay embellishments from the St. Patrick’s Day clay confetti.

Thanks you for stopping by and I hope that you check out all of the fabulous inspiration from the incredible Design Team.

Party Train

Hello everyone, June here! Today I’m sharing a cute birthday card using some products from the new birthday release and some older products. 

I started my card by stamping my images. I used stamps from the newly released Birthday Train and Party Time sets along with the locomotive from Valentine Train and one of the monkeys from Monkey Friends. I tried to keep the color palette very neutral with some accents of pink and purple. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Party Train

I wanted to keep my background quite simple not to distract from the busy scene I stamped out, so I decided to use the Eyelet Rectangle Dies to make an extended panel. This gives me a bit more space to work with. I did this technique by rolling it partly through my die cutting machine twice and trimming the edges to fit my card base. I adhered a second panel onto it that I blended some Milled Lavender Distress Oxide on. I also splattered some Dusty Concord Distress Oxide onto it to make it a bit more interesting.

For my sentiment I embossed the ‘hooray’ from the Birthday Train set on the same pink paper that I used to back my panels onto. I also stamped a sentiment from Sentiment Strips: Birthday to fill up some empty space.

Pretty Pink Posh: Party Train

I adhered everything onto my card base using glue and some foam tape and the card is finished!

Isn’t the new release just amazing? I always love products that are birthday themed cause those are the ones you’ll probably end up needing the most. I had a blast creating this card so I hope you enjoyed reading about it :)

I’ll see you again next month! Bye!

Lucky Shamrocks Box Card + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. Last month I made a Valentine’s Day Box Card and I was inspired to create one for St. Patrick’s Day as well!

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

I started with all of my die cutting of the Scallop Box Card Dies and Stitched Shamrocks Dies from different shades and paper types of green cardstock. My Scallop Box Card base was die cut from a solid green cardstock, the scalloped pieces from white cardstock, and the Stitched Shamrocks from a mix of glitter, shimmer and solid light green cardstock.

Using the Layered Shamrocks Stencils, I ink blended different shades of green ink using the Pinkfresh Studio Over the HIlls Ink Cube Bundle onto the scalloped die cut pieces from the Scallop Box Card Dies. Once I was happy with the shamrocks, I also splattered on some metallic gold watercolor and set them aside to dry.

Next I colored in the pot of gold, gold coin, rainbow and shamrocks from the Lucky Stamp Set with alcohol markers, then used the Lucky Coordinating Dies to cut them out. I also stamped the “Lucky” sentiment and solid shamrocks in dark green ink on white cardstock, and “You’re So” with the same ink on a Sentiment Strip cut from light green cardstock.

Lucky Shamrocks Box Card + Video

After assembling the Scallop Box Card together, I layered in the Stitched Shamrocks, stamped images from the Lucky Stamp Set, and a few clay shamrocks from the Lucky Charms Clay Confetti. My sentiment was layered onto the front of the Scallop Box Card with a Sentiment Strip banner behind the “You’re So Lucky”.

You can watch my process in today’s video; I hope you enjoyed this card and I am already brainstorming how I can make an Easter Box Card next month!

Birthday Party Box Card + Video

Hello friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today and these penguins are having a party celebrating Pretty Pink Posh’s 10th birthday.

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

I love making scene cards and the Scallop Box Card die set makes it so easy to create a fun little scene inside.

I started by coloring the stamps from the Penguin Pals stamp set and the Party Time stamp set using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors: Turquoise Green, Bright Yellow, Yellow, Light Carmine, Light Gray, Cool Gray 6, and Lilac.

Next, I used the Layered Balloons Stencil to create a background of balloons. I inked the balloons using the following Distress Oxide inks: Shaded Lilac, Salvaged Patina, Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick, and Hickory Smoke.

Once I finished inking the stenciled background, I die cut it with the layering dies from the Scallop Box Card. I stamped the sentiment from the Party Time stamp set onto the rectangular layering piece that goes in front of the box card and then added all of the layering die cuts to the card base. I wanted it to look like there were balloons floating throughout the sky.

Finally, I added the stamped images to the box card to create a fun little birthday scene. I love using this Scallop Box card die set to create little scenes with stamps. It makes it look so dimensional too!

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

Birthday Cake Shaker

Hi friends! It’s Zsofi here today and I am sharing a fun birthday cake shaker card with the new release. I love interactive cards, but I tend to be afraid making them. The new Cake Shaker die set makes it a breeze and no more thinking is needed what to fill it with, since we have the Shaker Beads!

Birthday Cake Shaker

First I die cut the Cake Shaker die 6 times: once from blue violet cardstock and 5 times from cream cardstock. As I did not cut apart the cake die and the window, I was sure that all the cakes will have the windows in the same place. (If I cut the dies apart, I usually use some washi tape to hold the dies together while I cut all my pieces). I used liquid glue to adhere the layers together. I placed a piece of acetate under the blue layer before mounting it on top of the cream layers.

Birthday Cake Shaker

Then I die cut the background using the new Pierced Stars Cover Plate and a light grey cardstock. I also cut a bunch of candles from cream cardstock and stacked 4 layers together for each candle to have some dimension. On the flames I used Copic markers.

I filled the cake with Berry Smoothie Shaker Beads and gently adhered the background to it. I love the sound of the beads shaking, it is mesmerizing for me!

Birthday Cake Shaker

For the sentiment I chose a line from the new Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set and slightly curved it to fit on a banner which I cut from pink cardstock with the Love From Afar die set. I used pink ink as I wanted to add some pink birds which I cut with the same die set. Aren’t they cute?

I wish you liked my card and got inspired to make some easy shaker cards. I cannot wait to make a bunch of this simply design with different colours to boost my birthday stash!

Thank you for stopping by and see you soon, Zsofi
