Sneak Peek: March 2022 Dies

Hello Friends! It’s Raquel here today sharing some sneak peeks of the new dies coming to Pretty Pink Posh on March 14^th.

There are some very innovative dies for this upcoming release! The moment I saw them I knew I’d be creating some fun and happy themed designs.

These project features the new 3D Pinwheels dies. They come in two sizes, and I just love them! You can be as creative as you want and use pattern paper or create your our paper.

I decided to do the later, so I grabbed my Distress Oxide Inks and some stencils.

I used the new Floral Background Stencil and the Mini Polka Dot Stencil in some of the pinwheels and colored them using several pastel colors: Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo, Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio and Salvaged Patina.

Once the ink blending was done, I just used these gorgeous dies to cut out three small pinwheels and three bigger ones. Then I folded them towards the center and secured them with a mini brad.

Lastly I just glued some colorful straws to the back with permanent glue. So easy!!! These are just perfect for any celebration, and I can assure they look stunning in real life.

My next project features the Flat Pinwheels. These can also be used in any celebration project or incorporate them into cards. I wanted to use as many pinwheels as possible in the same project so I used the smallest one.

I cut out several pieces in different colors and foam mounted them using the Slimline Scallop Frames. To add some texture to this colorful project, I added some white strips I had previously cut out with the Simply Strips dies.

I glued them to the front layer and arranged my pinwheels trying to make them look like if they were moving. I also added some spatters and some of the new Pearls.

I gold heat embossed the sentiment from the new Hugs stamp set and placed it in the middle. I love how this card turned out. These colorful pinwheels pop out so beautifully against the white background.

I hope you have enjoyed I gave you some ideas to create some fun and unique projects with this one of a kind dies.

Have a great day, Raquel

Sneak Peek: Hugs

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the new Hugs stamp set. I just love this set and if you have any of the previously-released word stamp sets (Baby, Dad, Joy, Love, Mom), this would be a wonderful addition to have.

Here are the Copic marker colors I used for this project.

For my card panel, I cut a 5.5” square in light pink cardstock. The background is done by ink blending through the Happy Days Stencils in Antique Linen, Kitsch Flamingo, Milled Lavender, Squeezed Lemonade, and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the Hugs stamp with the coordinating dies. The sentiment is stamped onto a strip of Kraft card stock. I then foam mounted the stamped elements onto the card panel. I adhered a few Sea Foam Pearls here and there to add interest to the card. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a 5.5” square card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. The release will be on March 14th and I know you will love the new products!

Sneak Peek: Easter Wreath

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the new Easter Wreath stamp set which will be available on March 14th. This is another beautiful set to add to the other previously-released Wreath collection.

To start, I stamped the wreath on white cardstock in Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. I colored the images with Copic markers and cut with the Easter Wreath coordinating die.

Next, I cut a 4.5” square panel in white cardstock. I used the new Floral Background Stencil to create a Spring background. The colors I used are Dried Marigold, Kitsch Flamingo, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Inks. To make the shaker element, I cut a 5.5” acetate and wrapped it around the panel, adhering the tabs with double sided tape. I added some Bunny Garden Clay Confetti before adhering the last flap down. I then layered this panel on top of a 5” pink cardstock.

For the sentiment, I stamped the Easter Greetings onto a strip of Kraft cardstock. I adhered the wreath and sentiment onto the acetate with double-sided tape. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a 5” square card base.

That’s all for this card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to create Easter cards for your friends and loved ones. Stop by tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!

Sneak Peek: Easter Circles + Easter Signs

Hey folks, Kavya here. I am showcasing some amazing products for the upcoming March 14th release. If you like scene building and cute critters, you are in for a treat! This month’s theme is Easter and Spring… complete with gorgeous butterflies, decorated eggs and flowers!

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Circles + Easter Signs

For today’s project, I decided to showcase the new Easter Circles and Easter Signs stamp sets. I also used a few images from other new stamp sets like Easter Wreath and Hugs :) If you are looking for ways to incorporate the Circles line of stamps into scene building, here is a fun card sketch that can be used with any of the releases. Simply start with a slimline card and add a circle in the middle surrounded by critters on the side.

For this project, I used a card base of size 4.25” x 6” just so that I could add a tree top. I started off with ink blending the sky using Victorian Velvet, Dried Marigold and Antique Linen distress oxide inks. Then, I diecut a strip of grass using green cardstock and treetops and bark from green and linen cardstock using Nature Essential dies. I ink blended these diecuts using matching distress oxide inks and added paint splatters to make them more realistic.

Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Easter Circles, Easter Signs, Easter Wreath and Hugs. I layered the Easter circle on top of a scalloped circle die cut using Winter Circles coordinating die. Adhered all of these images to the card base using foam and that’s it! You are done :)

Isn’t this release just cute? I can’t wait for you to see all the other products in the next few days! You won’t be disappointed :)

Thanks,
Kavya

Monochromatic Birthday Cupcakes + Video

Hello friends! Mindy Eggen here to share a fun monochromatic birthday card with you using the Layered Cupcakes Stencil.

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

This stencil is great for creating a rainbow of colors but I thought doing more cool tones with a monochromatic look would lean this more towards a card for the guys. Guys love cupcakes too!

Pretty Pink Posh: Monochromatic Birthday Cupcakes + Video

I had started off my card by ink blending one of my favorite distress oxide combinations that I hadn’t used in a while and that is Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch.

I’ll use two of these colors, Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers, to apply ink onto the background using the layered stencils. You can go a little heavier handed with the ink here to make it stand out a bit more.

After cleaning off the last layer of the stencil, I’ll reposition it back onto the card front and add some glitter glaze.

Since my background is pretty colorful, I’m going to keep the sentiment and images pretty simple. I’m using the Build A Cupcake stamp set and coordinating die. I’ll be doing very minimal copic coloring on the cupcake.

What a fun and colorful birthday card right?!

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Wreath

Hello friends, it’s Leica here. There is a new addition to the Pretty Pink Posh wreath sets! Today, I am sharing the Birthday Wreath stamp set with you all. I’ve never made a shaker card with any of the wreath stamps, so I thought I’d try it out and it turned out so cute.

**The new release has been selling like hotcakes! For the first time ever, we are offering pre-orders on some of the sold out items. You can find all of those products HERE. **

Let’s get started! I first cut a 4″ circle in lilac cardstock and layered it with a 4.5″ circle in blue cardstock. I then stamped the wreath onto white cardstock, colored it with Copic markers, and cut with the coordinating die. I used B02/00/000, E44/43, RV25/23/21, V17/15/12, Y18/15/11, and YR07/02/00. I adhered a sheet of acetate onto the back of the wreath and stamped the happy birthday sentiment with Stazon ink. To make a well for the shaker, I added foam tape around the wreath. I used the Piñata Party Mix for the shaker elements.

This confetti mix was my color palette inspiration for my card. I wanted to add some of the new pearls, so I adhered Sunshine pearls on the wreath using liquid glue. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a 4.5″ circle card base.

That’s all for this super fun shaker card. I hope that you’ll try to make shaker cards with any of the wreath sets. Happy crafting!

Slimline Birthday Scene + Video

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Scene cards are some of my favorite cards to make and there are so many fun products in the Pretty Pink Posh February release that I just couldn’t help myself to make a fun slimline scene birthday card.

Since Pretty Pink Posh is turning eight years old this month, I decided to make a birthday card to celebrate the occasion.

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

I started off by stamping the images from the Balloon Alphabet stamp set, Balloon Numbers stamp set, Birthday Borders stamp set, and the Crafty Critters Stamp set. (Note: The Crafty Critters stamp set was a promotional stamp set which has sold out. Stay tuned for when it’ll be released for purchase later this year!)

Copic colors used:

H Balloon – RV02, RV04, RV06
B Balloon – BG11, BG13, BG15, BG49
D Balloon – RV000, RV00, RV02
8 Balloon – YR12, YR14, YR16
Presents – YR12, YR16/RV00, RV02, RV04, RV06/BG11, BG13, BG49/RV00, RV02, RV04/BG11, BG13, BG49
Mouse and Koala – Blender, C0, C1, C3, C4/R01, R11

Pretty Pink Posh: Slimline Birthday Scene + Video

After coloring my images, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

Next, I die cut the Nature Essential Dies from plain white cardstock and set aside the cloud border and grass borders from this set.

To create the cloud background, I started by cutting a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock to 3 3/8” x 8 3/8”. Next, I used the cloud border that I die cut from the Nature Essential Dies along with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to create a cloud background for my card. I also applied Mowed Lawn Distress ink to the two grass border die cuts from the Nature Essential Dies.

Next, I began to assemble my card. I cut the Birthday Borders in half so that only the first six presents were showing. I added one of the grass borders behind the presents at the top of the border. I added the smaller grass border in front of the presents at the bottom of the border. I added some Mowed Lawn Distress ink to the bottom portion of the card panel and then adhered the Birthday Borders to the bottom of the slimline card panel. Next, I added the remaining stamped images to the card panel.

To add dimension to the clouds, I used the Build-A-Cupcake Die Set and die cut two of the frosting dies that resemble a cloud shape from white cardstock. I added Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to the clouds and then cut the cloud die cut in half. I added foam tape to the back of the cloud die cuts and added them to my card. I love how the clouds add dimension to the card.

Finally, I added the card panel to a pink slimline card base that measures 3 1/2” x 8 1/2” and added the Flamingo Pearls to the card front.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Be sure to check out all of the fun new products in Pretty Pink Posh’s February birthday release.

Have a wonderful day!

Easy Balloon Watercolor Background + Video

Hello friends! It’s Channin here and I’m so thrilled to be guesting here at Pretty Pink Posh! Today I’m sharing a fun and colorful card featuring several products from the birthday release. In the video I also demonstrate an easy watercoloring technique that creates vibrant splashy background perfect for a birthday card!

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

To create this card I first stamped a 5 1/4” x 6 1/2” panel of bristol paper repeatedly with the balloon and string stamps from the Balloon Alphabet Stamp Set in Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I then poured black embossing powder over the images and then heat set them with my heat tool. Next, I colored the balloons with a rainbow array of Tombow Dual Brush Pens (703, 885, 933, 055, 173, 373). After I had colored the balloons I then taped the panel down onto scrap of chipboard with painters tape and then spritzed the panel with water. Next, with a rocket air blaster I blew the activated ink around the panel to color in some of the open areas of the panel. When I had moved enough ink around and liked my results I then put the panel aside to dry.

Next, I die cut a tag using the Birthday Circles coordinating dies out of bristol paper. I then stamped and black heat-embossed the lion from the Birthday Circles stamp set onto the circle diecut from the tag. I also stamped and black heat embossed a couple more balloons and balloon strings onto bristol paper. I then watercolored the images using the same rainbow array of Tombow Dual Brush Pens and couple more colors (993 & 947). When I had finished coloring the images I then die cut the balloons and balloon strings out with the coordinating dies.

Next, I created a backing for my tag by tracing around it onto a scrap of white cardstock and then fussy cutting it out. I then adhered the diecut tag on top of its backing with foam adhesive strips and then glued the lion circle inside. I then adhered a tiny black and white twine bow to the top of the tag. Next, I stamped and white heat-embossed a sentiment from the Build a Cupcake stamp set onto black cardstock. I then trimmed the sentiment down to a strip and then adhered two stacked strips of black cardstock to the back to add dimension.

Now that the watercolored panel had dried completely I then trimmed it down to an A2 panel and adhered it onto the front of an A2 top-folding white card base. I then adhered the tag and sentiment to the card front. Next, I adhered the balloons and balloon strings together and then adhered them to the card front with foam adhesive. Lastly, I finished the card by adding shadows around the balloons and lion with a gray (N89) Tombow Dual Brush Pen.

I hope you enjoyed my card and video. Thank you so much for stopping by!
