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!

Spring Birthday

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing an adorable birthday card with you all.

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Birthday

I started my card by creating my card panel with the Spring Flowers stencil set. I love these stencils and I had to use them again!! They make such a pretty card panel. I used dye inks and kept my colors soft and “spring like.” Next, I used the Spring Circles set to stamp my bees. This set has such sweet images, perfect for this time of year. For my frames I used the Easter Circles dies. I love the stitching detail on these dies. Lastly, I used the Simple Sentiments set to stamp my birthday sentiment. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Birthday

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you liked my card. I love creating cards like this, by just changing the sentiment they are perfect for so many occasions. 

Enjoy your day, Dana

Whimsical Flat Pinwheels

Hello friends, Gemma here. Today I have a card to share featuring the new Flat Pinwheels and Smile Script die sets. Together, these make a fun and happy card.

Pretty Pink Posh: Whimsical Flat Pinwheels

I began by die cutting the two smaller size pin wheels from the Flat Pinwheels die set, using polka dot patterned papers. I then layered two together to make my pinwheels. For the centre, I adhered a pearl embellishment to match. For the pinwheel sticks, I die cut some Stitched Strips from Kraft card and adhered them to the back of the pinwheels. The Smile Script die is cut from two layers of white card, with a top layer of pink glitter card.

Pretty Pink Posh: Whimsical Flat Pinwheels

Next, I worked on the background. On a 5.25” square card base, I blended spun sugar distress oxide around the edge first, then blended some more through the Snowfall stencil to add some details.

Pretty Pink Posh: Whimsical Flat Pinwheels

I adhered the pinwheels to the card, followed by the scripty sentiment. For the dot on the ‘i’, I used a Pink Blush pearl. I used Lilac pearls, Sea Foam pearls and Creamsicle pearls for the middles of the pinwheels. They’re the perfect finishing touch.

I hope you enjoyed this card. If you’re on Instagram, there will be a reel of how to create this card up very soon.

Hello crafty friends! It’s Yoonsun here to share a couple of “Happy Easter” cards with the Daffodils set along with the Fancy Easter Script die. Sunny yellow daffodils are called “Easter flower” because they are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring and are usually in bloom for Easter. So the daffodils products are perfect for the Easter cards.

For the Daffodils on the bottom of the card, I laid the Daffodils stencil onto white cardstock, applied Fossilized Amber & Wild Honey Distress inks to petals, Crushed Olive & Mowed Lawn Distress inks to leaves using blending brushes. I then stamped outlined Daffodils using pale beige dye ink in place, die cut them with the Daffodils coordinating dies – This Daffodils trio is so awesome!

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 7

For the sentiment, I used the Fancy Easter Script die. I mounted all elements as shown in the picture, and then decorated the card with Creamsicle & Limeade Pearls.

Easter Theme Week- Day 5

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 5

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here.  Today I’m sharing some Easter treat bags that I made using the Easter Circles stamp and coordinating dies. These treat bags were so much fun to make. They can be used as gifts for children, friends, family, and co-workers during Easter or the spring season. 

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

The Easter Circles stamp set comes with six circles with Easter and spring-themed images inside of them such as an Easter bunny, Easter basket, flower bouquet, Easter eggs, a flower, and a spring chick. I started by stamping my images onto Bristol Smooth cardstock using a black archival ink. I colored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens. The colors I used are listed below.

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 5

I die cut the images with the Easter Circles coordinating dies. Using the stitched circle die, I die cut a piece of solid colored cardstock that matched the colored stamp. Using the label die in the set, I die cut another piece of matching colored cardstock.

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 5

To create the bag toppers, I cut a piece of solid colored cardstock to 4 1/2” x 3 1/8”. I used white pigment ink and the Mini Polka Dot stencil to ink a polka dot pattern on the cardstock. Next, I scored the cardstock at 2 1/4” (along the 4 1/2” side) and folded it in half. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 5

I added some Easter grass and chocolate eggs to the inside of a 3 inch bag. I used double-sided adhesive tape along the inside bottom and inside top of the bag topper and adhered it to the bag. I added the labels to the top.

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

Easter Theme Week- Day 4

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 4

Hello, it’s Jeanne here for another day of inspiration for Easter theme week. Every holiday makes me feel a little sentimental because it brings back memories of special moments from my childhood, and from time spent with my own children.  Easter always has me laughing about rainbow-colored fingers from egg painting.

When I was young we would soak our eggs in the cups of dye until they turned the darkest shade of violet or chartreuse. Sometimes it would seem like forever. Maybe you remember making colorful stripes on the eggs or personalizing them with the clear wax crayon included in the dye pack. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 4

I’m sharing a trio of cards today with colorful striped backgrounds made with Stacked Edges dies. If  you’ve never tried these you should! You’ll love how the borders fit together perfectly keeping your card front smooth and flat – something you CAN’T accomplish with regular borders.

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 4

I like to cut three borders at a time. A little wax paper helps free them from the stitched die, and before you know it you’ll have lots of borders in a rainbow of colors. 

The striped backgrounds are topped with images from the Easter Circles stamp set. Even if you don’t celebrate Easter, the pretty spring images like the daffodil and flower bouquet are total eye candy. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 4

Each of the “Circles” Series stamp sets has a different complimentary die set that can be used as a tag, label, or beautiful frame for the stamps. I used the Easter Circles die and layered it over the Fall Circles coordinating die.

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 4

You can achieve lots of different looks with just a few different die sets – each one prettier than the next! 

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 4

I hope my cards inspired you to create some colorful Easter projects. There are so many possibilities with these dies and stamps!
