Day 2: Blog Hop + May Release Now Available

Pretty Pink Posh: Blog Hop + May Release Now Available

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here.  As we come to the end of the school year, it’s so important to thank a teacher and let them know how much they are appreciated. Today I’m using several new products to create a thank you card for a teacher.

Pretty Pink Posh: Blog Hop + May Release Now Available

For my card background, I added distress inks in rainbow colors to the Pinstripe stencil.  When I finished adding the ink, I sprayed the stencil with water to clean it, but before wiping the ink off the stencil with a paper towel, I pressed the inked stencil into another piece of cardstock to create a second background. This is a great way to make two for one backgrounds. I just love the watercolor look of the pinstripes in the background of my card.

I used a border from the Crafty Days stamp set and adhered it to the bottom of the stenciled background. I also created a tag for the top of the card using the Scallop Square Tag dies. I added a piece of black cardstock to the green tag. The black cardstock measures 2 ¾” x 3”. I die cut the Thank You Script die from white cardstock and adhered it to front. I chose to use black cardstock for the background and white cardstock for the words because I wanted it to resemble a chalkboard.

When gluing the tag to the card, I only applied glue to the left, right, and bottom edges of the tag. I left the middle free from glue so I can place a gift card inside. If you do not want to add a gift card, you can simply apply glue to the entire backside of the tag and adhere it to the card.

For the inside of the card, I added two borders from the Crafty Days stamp set and die cut them with the coordinating dies. I adhered the borders to the bottom edge of the card. I added a sentiment from the Crafty Sentiments stamp set.

Another option for adding a gift card is to insert the gift card behind the border on the inside of the card like shown here.

Day 1: Blog Hop + May Release Now Available

Pretty Pink Posh: Blog Hop + May Release Now Available

The May 2022 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post yesterday, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Heather has that for you today!

Hey crafty friends, it’s Amanda here and I’m thrilled to be a guest at PPP this month! This Spring Flowers card also features the new Mini Grid stencil and Crafty Sentiments stamp set.

I started by stamping my florals with a gray copic friendly ink and then colored them with my copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and arranged them in two random bunches. Next, I used liquid glue to adhere the flower bundles together and put an acrylic block on top to help them dry flat.

Pretty Pink Posh: Blog Hop + May Release Now Available

While those were drying, I cut a piece of teal cardstock and layered the new Mini Grid stencil over the top. I randomly spread Thermoweb Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel through the holes, intentionally not covering the whole panel.

While that panel was drying, I die cut a while Scallop Diamond Tag and stamped a sentiment from Crafty Sentiments in the center. I arranged the floral bursts around it and glued them together. 

For my card assembly, I added the stenciled panel to a white card base and popped up the frame from the Nature Essentials die with foam strips. Finally I added the florals and sentiment with foam tape as well. I kept my finishing touches simple today by just adding glossy accents to all of the flower centers. 

Between the background sparkle and the random shine in the flowers, I just adore this finished card! I hope you do too!

Sneak Peek: May 2022 Stencils

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a sneak peek of two of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on May 16th. There are five new stencils being released, which include a fun Pinstripe, Mini Grid, Layered Letters and the two I will be using today. 

Sneak Peek: May 2022 Stencils

For my first card I am using the new Layered Spring Flowers stencil pack. This is a three pack of stencils that can be layered together to create the most adorable background. I used dye ink and a blending brush to create my panel. The first two layers create the flowers and then the final layer is the flower’s center. For the last layer I used Glitz Glitter Gel in white to give the flowers a little extra sparkle. 

Sneak Peek: May 2022 Stencils

For my sentiment, I used the new Celebration Scripts set. This is a great set of sentiments, perfect for so many occasions. Next, I used the Spring Foliage dies to create my white flowers and leaves. These dies are just the sweetest. There are so many options for building bouquets, floral clusters and accents. I know it is a set of dies that I will use often. Lastly, I added Light Orchid and Creamsicle pearls to my flower’s centers to finish my card. 

Sneak Peek: May 2022 Stencils

My second card uses the new Crafty Background stencil set

Sneak Peek: May 2022 Stencils

The Crafty Background stencil set is a pack of three stencils that layer together to make the most adorable background. It’s perfect for your favorite crafter and coordinates perfectly with all the new craft supplies sets that will be available with the new release. To create my panel, I used dye ink, finger daubers along with a little post-it tape for some masking. 

Sneak Peek: May 2022 Stencils

Next, I used the dies from the new Crafty Days die set to create my frame. I then used the Crafty Critters set for my sentiment, mouse and craft supplies. I colored the images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Lastly, I attached my frame to the center of my card panel with foam adhesive and attached everything to an A2 card base. 

Sneak Peek: May 2022 Stencils

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my cards and I can’t wait to see what you create with these fun new products.

Sneak Peek: Celebration Scripts + Spring Flowers

Hi folks, Kavya here with another fun sneak peek of the new release! If you love crafting and florals – THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU! I absolutely love what PPP did with the theme! My card today is an extension of my love for creating mini envelopes for my cards. I created a mini bouquet of flowers this time around to hold the gorgeous florals from the Spring Flowers set

Sneak Peek: Celebration Scripts + Spring Flowers

I first started off by creating my background by ink blending Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers distress oxide inks. I then used the Pinstripe Stencil create a fun background. 

Sneak Peek: Celebration Scripts + Spring Flowers

For the bouquet, I used a square piece of cream cardstock. I then folded it using the Kite fold like shown in the diagram but just make sure that the edges overlap instead of meeting at the center. Fold two flaps at the top and you are done! 

Sneak Peek: Celebration Scripts + Spring Flowers

Then, I filled the bouquet with some stamped and colored Spring Flowers and added a sentiment from Celebration Scripts to finish off my card.

Sneak Peek: Celebration Scripts + Spring Flowers

Wasn’t that fun? Love how this turned out! Check back tomorrow for more sneak peeks of the May 16th release!

Happy Crafting, Kavya

Sneak Peek: Crafty Critters

Hi friends, it’s Elaine from Pink Peppermint Cards on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today.  I am absolutely delighted to be back to share a sneak peek at some of the products releasing May 16th. One set may look familiar as it was a free gift earlier this year but now it’ll be available for purchase! 

Sneak Peek: Crafty Critters

I started this card with a piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock measuring 6.5” x 4”. I treated the whole panel of cardstock with an antistatic powder tool and used my Misti stamping tool to repeat stamp the pen, pencil and crayon border stamp from the Crafty Days stamp set with Versamark Ink. I used a fine white embossing powder to coat the clear inked panel and then heat set the powder until smooth and glossy. Taking my Distress Ink pad in Worn Lipstick I ink blended on to the panel with a blending brush, ensuring the focus of the color was around the edges and using a lighter hand towards the middle. Once I was happy with the ink blending, I cut the panel down to 5.75” x 3.25”.  The panel was set aside to dry while I worked on the other elements of the card.

Sneak Peek: Crafty Critters

I stamped the images from Crafty Critters stamp set with a black dye ink on to copic friendly cardstock. I then used my copic markers to color these super cute images! Here are the colors I used:

Koala: W4, W3, W1, W0, RV02, RV10

Mouse: E44, E43, E42, E41, E40, RV02, RV10

Paint pallet: C3, C1, C00, R27, R24, YR07, YR04, Y17, Y13, G07, G02, B26, B23

Paint brush: E27, E23, E55

Once the coloring was done, I cut out all the images with the Crafty Critters coordinating dies.  

I created a card base for this card by cutting a piece of heavyweight white card 7”x 6” and scored the longest edge at 3.5”, this gave me a 6”x 3.5” side folding cardbase. I popped some foam tape on the back of the embossed ink blended panel and adhered it to the cardbase.  To create a focal point for my little critters I cut the largest frame from the Stitched Photo Frames Die set twice and popped a layer of vellum behind the opening. I used a black pigment ink to stamp the sentiment included in the Crafty Critters stamp set on to each of the frames. I secured the frames to the front of the card with liquid adhesive and then secured the little critters and their accessories on top.

Sneak Peek: Crafty Critters

Using a white gel pen I added a few highlights to the colored images and some black glaze gel pen to finish off the nose and eyes. Finally, I added a few pink clay hearts because I can never get enough of clay hearts and I’m calling this card done!

Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope you enjoyed taking a quick sneak at some of the new products releasing this month, these products are perfect for creating some fun projects your crafty pals!

Happy crafting! Elaine xxx

Sneak Peek: Crafty Days + Crafty Sentiments

Hello, Gemma here today with a sneak peek of two new stamp sets from the May 16th release – Crafty Days and Crafty Sentiments.

For my first card, I stamped out a border four times from the Crafty Days stamp set. I coloured the images in a rainbow of copic markers, then die cut them with the Crafty Days coordinating die.

Sneak Peek: Crafty Days + Crafty Sentiments

On a 5.25” card base, I stamped a greeting from the Crafty Sentiments stamp set. There are lots of great sentiments to choose from in the set.

Sneak Peek: Crafty Days + Crafty Sentiments

I adhered the borders to my card base. To add some variation in dimension, I adhered a second die cut layer behind the 1st and 3rd borders. Once adhered to the card base, I trimmed away anything overhanging to finish.

Sneak Peek: Crafty Days + Crafty Sentiments

Continuing the rainbow theme on my second card, I used the new Pinstripe stencil with distress oxide inks to add lots of colour to my A2 card base. The colours I chose were Saltwater Taffy, Squeezed Lemonade, Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac and Kitsch Flamingo.

Sneak Peek: Crafty Days + Crafty Sentiments

I stamped and coloured two images from the Crafty Days stamp set. The coordinating die set comes with both a square to cut the images out, along with a scalloped square for layering.

On my card, I stamped a greeting from the Crafty Sentiments stamp set. I recommend using Versafine Onyx Black ink as it stamps well over the distress oxide inks.

Sneak Peek: Crafty Days + Crafty Sentiments

I then used foam tape to adhere the images over white glitter scalloped squares, before adhering to my card base to finish.

Sneak Peek: Crafty Days + Crafty Sentiments

I hope you enjoyed these cards. Join us tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!

Pastel Happy Days

Hello, Gemma here. Today I’m sharing a card featuring a lovely layering stencil set called Happy Days. It makes such a cheerful and fun card, quickly and easily.

Pretty Pink Posh: Pastel Happy Days

When using the layering stencils, I like to start with a 6×6” card panel. This allows me to get the stencils aligned properly.

I blended each layer with distress oxides – Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo, Spun Sugar, Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac, and Hickory Smoke.

Pretty Pink Posh: Pastel Happy Days

On an A2 notecard (4.25 x 5.5”), I adhered three thin strips of coloured card, die cut using the Stitched Strips die set. I chose colours to match the stencilled rainbows.

Pretty Pink Posh: Pastel Happy Days

I trimmed down the stencilled panel and adhered it to the card above the stitched strips. For the sentiment, I used the Birthday Scripts stamp set. I stamped a smaller sentiment directly on the panel, then added a stamped and die cut greeting underneath.

I hope you enjoyed this card. Thank you for stopping by!

Mother’s Day Bouquet

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a Mother’s Day card, using previously-released sets: Large Floral Hearts Stamp Set, Mom Stamp Set, and Mother’s Day Stamp Set. I love going through my stash and combining different sets, even if they are meant for other occasions. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Mother's Day Bouquet

To start, I cut a 4 inch square in patterned cardstock and adhered it onto a 4.5 inch lavender card base. I then stamped, cut, and colored the images from the sets mentioned above. I used Copic markers – BG10, BV02/00/0000, E40, R22/20/00/000, Y13/11, and YG23/21.I then adhered the heart onto the card panel and placed a 3.5 inch square in vellum to soften the look of the heart. Next, I foam mounted the floral arrangement and butterflies on the vellum. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of kraft cardstock and glued onto the card panel.

Pretty Pink Posh: Mother's Day Bouquet

That’s all for this Mother’s Day card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to use older stamp sets to make new cards. Have a great day!
