Hello friends! It’s Leica here and I am sharing a box card filled with beautiful potted roses from the latest PPP release. These roses are from the Potted Roses stamp set and coordinating dies are available separately.
I’m happy to share that this box card die will be available on the Pretty Pink Posh shop soon! It includes dies for the back, front, and side panels. I can’t wait for this die to be released! I know that you will love it, too!
For the back and side panels, I ink blended through the Lattice Stencil in Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink. The images are stamped, colored, and cut with coordinating dies. I used Copic Sketch markers:
I glued the potted roses on the inserts of the box card and added the sentiment on the front panel. Lastly, I added another panel in white cardstock on the back of the card.
I hope that I’ve inspired you to make some cards with the beautiful Potted Roses stamp set. Join us tomorrow for another day of Valentine inspiration!
Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I’m excited to be kicking things off with Valentine Theme Week! Pretty Pink Posh has lots of fabulous Valentine products to choose from and my projects today combine several older and newer items.
My littlest child completely influenced today’s projects. She has started making cards herself and loves to look through my stamps. Her favorites are always the cute critters, so I let her choose the ones she liked the best for her preschool valentines. I put these ones together, but she will most definitely be helping me make the rest.
I created the valentines using the new Sweet Note die. I just love it! You can get three Sweet Notes from one 8.5×11 sheet of paper with a little leftover. After I cut valentines in several colors, I embossed the main outside panel on each with the heart from All My Love.
Then I die cut and attached a flag from Stitched Labels 1 to each note. The critters came next.
Based off my little one’s favorites, I stamped and embossed several animals fromHeart Critters and Sending Love. Then I used zig clean color real brush markers to color them. I hadn’t used these markers in a while, and it was fun to revisit them. After all the images were colored, I cut them out using the coordinating dies and popped them up with some dimensional foam.
A little sprinkling of hearts from the Valentine’s Day and Sweet Love clay confetti mixes and the fronts were done.
I kept the backs simple but couldn’t help adding a little cuteness by stamping, die cutting, and layering different hearts from the Valentine Hearts stamp set.
I attached the hearts to the center of the notch. They look cute, and they also add a little extra security to keep the note closed if you tuck a treat inside.
Speaking of treats, I was delighted to see that individual fruit snacks (or any snack/fun size candy package) fit perfectly inside the folded Sweet Note.
Normally I would have decorated the inside of the note as well, but my little one is just learning how to write and she’ll need all that space to sign her name, so I left it blank. :)
Thanks so much for joining me today! This week will be full of Valentine inspiration, so make sure to come back every day, and don’t forget to pick up some of your favorite Valentine products while they are on sale.
Hello, friends! Lindsey here with another Valentine card showcasing the new Valentine Mug Additions. Once you start creating with these new dies, you are not going to want to stop! The creative options are endless! I must have had Christmas baking still on my mind, because I decided to go all out with my strawberry decorating on my next card. It was all the fun of baking, but a whole lot less messy. ;)
I created milk and white chocolate coated and sugar dusted strawberries and candies. Some are sprinkled with confetti made with the tiny hearts in the Valentine Mug Additions dies and others are sprinkled with the Valentine’s Day Mix clay confetti.
I also wanted to show some of the fun ways these dies mix and match. For instance, the chocolate drizzle is equally good for adorning the candies as well as the strawberries. The whipped cream dollop can also double as a meringue cookie.
A bit more about how this card came together. I started with a white card base then added a second layer, blending on pink stripes using the Pinstripe Stencil. Next, I framed the striped panel with two layers of the Slimline: Peekaboo Window Dies. A happy discovery was that the second smallest square in the new Wonky Stitched Square Dies fits perfectly inside the windows.
I popped up my sugary treats with dimensional foam and finished my card off with a fitting sentiment from the new XOXO stamp set.
I hope that this card inspired you to play around with the options of these new dies. They really are so fun!
Hi friends! It’s Leica here and today I have a colorful and fun card that is very simple to make, thanks to the new layering stencils. The one I used for my card is the new Layered Valentine Hearts Stencil. With these stencils, you can easily create your own patterned paper for cards or other projects.
I cut a 5” square in white cardstock and ink blended through the “A” Layer in Spun Sugar, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Cracked Pistachio, Tumbled Glass, and Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Inks. For Layers B and C, I used Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Evergreen Bough, Salty Ocean, and Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide Inks. With Layer D, I ink blended through the stencil with Barn Door Distress Oxide Ink.
I then cut the Large Hugs Shadow with an extra shadow that I offset for added interest. I also stamped “& kisses” on a strip of light pink cardstock and foam mounted it under the Hugs script. By the way, the Large Hugs Shadow has a Hot Foil version! I’ve already tried it and oh my goodness, it is so much fun to play with!
Next, I added some clay confetti here and there and glued the card panel onto a light pink 5.25” card base.
That’s all for this card. I hope that you’ll create some cards with this layering stencil. You can choose different colors or stick with a monochromatic look – totally up to you!
Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here to share a card I made using the XOXO stamp set. For my card, I’m going to add it to a watercolor background full of reds and pinks. This card is perfect for Valentine’s Day or just to send a card of love.
For the card background, I used a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock that I cut to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. I created a blend of beautiful reds and pinks using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. These pens are watercolor pens and any watercolor pens would work with this technique. I started at the top of the cardstock by adding ink from left to right with my darkest color and ended at the bottom of the cardstock with my lightest color. I added the colors in the following order: Deep Red, Carmine Red, Pink, Peach Pink, and Sugared Almond Pink. After adding the ink to the cardstock, I used a water brush to spread the ink. I love how beautifully the ink colors blended together. Next, I flicked some gold pigment ink onto the background. I set the background aside to dry.
I stamped the large XOXO stamp onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock and colored the images. I die cut the XOXO stamp with the coordinating dies. I added the XOXO stamp to the watercolor background.
I stamped the sentiment “Happy Valentine’s Day“ onto vellum with Versamark ink and added gold embossing powder.
Finally, I added the watercolor background to a piece of gold cardstock. I used gold cardstock to bring out the splatters of gold in the watercolor background and in the sentiment. Finally, I added it to an A2 card base.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!
Hi crafty friends. It’s Leica here and I am sharing the cutest little notecards using the new Sweet Note Dies. It’s super easy to make and you can also adhere a small treat like the Ghirardelli Squares (you can find them on Amazon HERE) inside the notecard.
Affiliate links are used for products that are not sold in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop.
I cut the Sweet Note Dies in patterned paper and in 3 different ways. One is with the flap on the top, one with the flap on the left side, and another with the flap on the right side. Just keep the direction of the design in mind when you cut your paper.
Next, I cut the scalloped circles in white cardstock and the circle dies in blush cardstock. I arranged different sentiments onto an acrylic block and stamped it onto the circle cuts in Versafine Vintage Sepia ink. I glued the circle layers and foam mounted it onto the Sweet Note.
I then stamped, colored, and cut the chocolates, rose, and strawberries from the XOXO Stamp Set. I used Copic Sketch markers:
Lastly, I glued the images onto the circle dies. That’s all for these sweet mini notecards. I hope that I’ve inspired you to create mini love notes or candy holders for your little ones!
First, I absolutely love hot foil plates and so excited to see these from Pretty Pink Posh in their signature font. They add so much shine to a project!
One of the things I cover in the video is cardstock. A smooth cardstock will give you the best results but you can also use color cardstock. By using some of the tips in the video, you can get amazing results on textured cardstock as well.
There are a few different foiling machines on the market right now but the ones I’m familiar with are Spellbinders and Crafter’s Companion. I’ll be using the Spellbinders Glimmer System in the video today.
There are also a few different glimmer foils available as well. I’m trying out the new DecoFoil Hot Foil Sheets. Don’t confuse these with their toner foil sheets which are meant to be used with a laminator.
I created a background for my foiled word using the Layered XOXO stencil, ink blending it in red and black. Then I added a glitter glaze over the black layer for sparkle.
To diffuse the background a little, I used the Scallop Frame and some vellum layered together with liquid glue.
My finishing touch is adding a smaller sentiment from the XOXO stamp set. I heat embossed it in White onto Black cardstock and trimmed down to a thin strip.

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here and welcome to day 1 of the blog hop! Today I’m sharing a fun spin off of a previous card I created using the Winter Mug Dies. It was one of my favorite Christmas cards last year, and I couldn’t wait to give it another go with a Valentine’s Day edition!
I started by cutting three Winter Mugsand stacking them together. The pre-cut slits on the mugs make this quick and easy. Next I die cut piles of strawberries, cherries, and candies from the Valentine Mug Additions and pieced them together.
Now for the fun part….decorating! I added sugar coating (glitter lots of glitter!), chocolate drizzles, and sprinkles. Then I tucked the treats inside and around the mugs.
The background needed just a little something, so I used a tiny sprinkle stamp from Build A Cupcake to add sprinkles in different shades of pink and red.
I’ll leave you with one last shot of all the sugary goodness I made with these products. :)

Hello friends! It’s time to reveal all of the products that are part of the January 5th release. As usual, we worked really hard to make things cohesive and work together, individually or you can pair them with “older” products.
Here’s a look at the four new stamp sets that will be available for purchase: Heart Critters,Potted Roses,Sweet Cherriesand XOXO(all have coordinating dies available for purchase separately).
*The Layered Valentine Hearts and Layered XOXO stencils are a little different as you can mix and match which layers you want to use. (patterns, words or both for the hearts and O’s, hearts or both for the background)
We have a limited amount of bundles available where you can buy this release in one easy click. Plus, you’ll get 10% off when you buy it all together.
Due to not everyone owning a hot foil machine, we did NOT include those in this bundle. You can however buy those together at a discount as well.
We will see you tomorrow as we show you the new products in a video and the products go live individually. Plus, we will be kicking off our three day blog hop!
Good morning! It’s Lindsey here and I have the lucky task of giving you a peek at some of the new dies releasing this month. They are amazing! I am completely smitten, and I think you will be, too!
New release will be available January 5th.
One of the die sets I am most excited about is the Valentine Mug Additions. The dies are designed to pair perfectly with the previously released Winter Mug Dies, but I wanted to start by showing you that they can be used on their own, too!
What better way to showcase these new sweets than creating a chocolate box? I created my box using a a brown card base and the largestScallop Frame die. Then, I pieced together lots of chocolates and chocolate covered strawberries using the Valentine Mug Additions. There are lots of mix and match options in this set and super cute stitching details throughout.
I used a white gel pen to highlight the seeds on the strawberries.
Front and center on my card is one of two new script dies called the Large Love Shadow die. These dies are a fabulous large size and come with the script + an outline, which I love. I couldn’t help myself and added a third layer of vellum to help the sentiment stand out a bit more against the chocolates. Then I added a secondary embossed sentiment “hugs and kisses” from the new Potted Roses stamp set.
My second card uses many of the same Valentine Mug Additions dies, but this time I paired them with the Winter Mug.
I started by creating a candy heart background using two of the layers in the new Layered Valentine Hearts stencils. So much fun! Next, I used the two largest Wonky Stitched Squares dies to create a frame, which in this case anchors my focal point.
Now for the mug! I blended on a little ink around the edges of the mug, then I stuffed it full of darling dies from Valentine Mug Additions – cherry, whipped cream, strawberry, and double hearts.
The fabulous Large Love Shadow die fit perfectly across the mug. I adore it.
Speaking of things I adore, how cute is that spoon?! I figured a chocolate and sprinkle coated spoon would be the perfect thing to stir into a mug of hot chocolate. The sprinkles are from the new Valentine’s Day Mix clay confetti. I added a marshmallow from the Winter Mug dies and a rose from the Valentines Mug Additions dies, and called it a day. :)
Thanks so much for joining me today! I had so much fun creating with the new dies, and I know you will too. Join us tomorrow as we reveal the products and the bundles go live!
