Sneak Peek: Birthday Circles + Birthday Scripts

Hi, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the new Birthday Circles stamp set and Birthday Scripts stamp set releasing on February 10th.

The Birthday Circles set is such a fun addition to the previously-released Circle sets. These stamps are perfect for making cards and matching tags, plus the images go well together with other stamp sets, such as the Party Friends stamp set and Koala Friends stamp set. The Birthday Scripts is just the perfect set to have in hand for beautiful birthday sentiments and the best part is there are coordinating die cuts for the scripts.

Pretty Pink Posh: Sneak Peek: Birthday Circles + Birthday Scripts

For my card, I made a slimline size. First, I cut a slimline panel using the largest die from the Slimline: Peekaboo Window Dies in white cardstock. I ink blended it with Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered white and black acrylic paints for added interest. I layered this panel with a pink cardstock, measuring 3.5 x 8.5 inches.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Birthday Circles stamp set. I foam mounted them on the card panel for dimension. For the sentiment, I used the Birthday Scripts stamp set and cut the scripts with the coordinating dies. I cut a few extra pieces and stacked them for dimension. I then added Bubblegum pearls for added texture. Lastly, I adhered the card panel onto a slimline-size card base.

That’s all for today’s sneak peek. Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the February 10th release!

Sneak Peek: Build A Cupcake

Hello crafty friends! It’s Yoonsun here to share a cute birthday cupcake card with brand new Build A Cupcake stamp & coordinating die set releasing on February 10th.

I started by making cupcake pattern panel. I randomly stamped cupcakes onto an A2 sized white paper panel with pale beige coloured dye ink – I stamped mask for the cake image to sticky note, cut out the mask and layered it over each stamped cake image because this set is build-a-cupcake. I then die cut 6 scallop borders from the pattern paper, assembled them together on the card base using double-sided tape.

For the cupcakes, I stamped them on watercolour paper using pale beige dye ink first, coloured cake images with polychromos pencils, cup images with Rusty Hinge Distress ink, and then die cut them with the matching dies. I added 4 cupcakes on the centre of the card front using foam tape, decorated them with Rainbow Sprinkles & Pinata Party Clay Confetti. These new clay confetti packs are so adorable!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Be sure to come back tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!

Hugs,
Yoonsun

Sneak Peek: Birthday Wreath

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today, and I’m excited to be giving you a sneak peek of the Birthday Wreath stamp set releasing on February 10th. It’s so fun! One thing I love about all the new products is that they pair so seamlessly with previously released Pretty Pink Posh products.

I really love all the little images in the wreath stamp sets, and I think that they look fabulous just as they are, so for my card I decided to simply emboss the Birthday Wreath image in a dark gold/bronze color. Next I blended aqua ink in an ombre fashion, and then splattered to my heart’s content. Truth be told I was watching a movie, placed my card inside a box to catch the splatters and just went at it. I used water, gold paint, and a shimmery teal paint to add a variety of flecks. It kind of reminds me of birthday confetti, which seemed fitting.

For my sentiment I die cut the Happy Birthday Script several times in white, layered them together, and placed a gold die cut on top. I opted to leave the centers in the letters, so the sentiment was more readable atop the busy background. I decided to go big or go home with the gold on my card and added a few metallic gold jewels to dress it up just a bit more. As the jewels tumbled out of the bag, some were right side up and some were upside down. The backside was clear and I liked combination with the gold fronts, so when I adhered my jewels I purposely adhered some of them right side up and some upside down.

I popped my panel up on a kraft card base and called it a day. I’m always tickled when all I need are a few great products to make a card.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Stay tuned for peeks of new products the rest of the week. You are going to LOVE this release!

Sneak Peek: Balloon Alphabet + Balloon Numbers

Hi friends, Kavya here and I am thrilled to be sharing a sneak peek at the new Balloon Alphabet and Balloon Numbers stamps and coordinating dies as a part of this month’s release on February 10th.

If you follow me on IG, you know that I am a huge fan of versatile stamp sets. I am not kidding when I say that this is one stamp set combo that I will find myself using often in the future. You can combine the alphabets and numbers to create general sentiments, chat lingo (like gr8, hb2u etc.), numbers for special occasions and year etc.. If you don’t want the balloon look, just snip of the triangle at the end and just think of it as a bubbly font!

For my project, I decided to create a non-birthday using the birthday release for a friend who loves desserts. I first started off by ink blending the edges of a mushroom colored cardstock using black dye ink. I splattered some white ink to make it look like sparkles. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images using alcohol makers from Build A Cupcake, Balloon Numbers and Balloon Alphabet from the new release and Cupcake Critters from a previous release. For the cupcakes, I added extra details like stripes on the cupcake wrapper and some sprinkles. In general, I added highlights to all the images using a white gel pen! White gel pen details definitely make the balloons more realistic in my opinion. I then arranged them on my background using foam tape to finish off my card!

I hope you liked this project! Check back tomorrow for more inspiration featuring the upcoming February 10th release.

Happy Crafting, Kavya

Valentine’s Day Box Card

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here and today I have a box card to share with you all. For my card, I used the Sending Love stamp set and coordinating dies.

Let’s begin! I started by building a box card using wildberry cardstock. To have the look of a patterned paper, I stamped the little envelope all over the panels. For the background panel, I used a cloud stencil and ink blended it with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. I added 2 inserts and ink blended them with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Sending Love stamp set. I just adore these critters! I used Copic markers – E11/00/000, 31/30, 74/71/70, R24/22/20/00, and V12/01. I adhered the elements onto the inserts.

For the sentiment, I cut a speech bubble in white cardstock and lightly ink blended it with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink and stamped the Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment from the Valentine Wreath stamp set.

That’s all for this Valentine box card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to create one with the new Valentine stamps!

Valentine Theme Week- Day 7

Hi friends, Jeanne here. I hope you’re enjoying Valentine’s Theme Week! There are so many fabulous Valentine products in the store the hardest part is choosing what to take home! I’m a HUGE fan of die cuts! I think it’s absolute magic running a die and a piece of cardstock through my die cut machine and finding a crisp clean cut with a beautiful design!

Save 15% on all products in the Valentine’s Day section.

My machine has earned it’s miles and sometimes the die doesn’t cut all the way through and that’s ok.. because that’s exactly what we need for the technique I used with the new Love Hearts Die. If your machine cuts perfect on the first try you can add some packing tape to the back of your card stock to prevent it from cutting all the way through.

When the die doesn’t cut all the way through it still leaves an impression of the design. Color the design with markers. It’s ok to color outside the lines. Cut a second die all the way and punch out all the cuts. You can lay it over your coloring to make sure you didn’t miss any spots. When you’re happy with your coloring spread some glossy accents thinly over the entire colored panel and top it with your clean punched die cut. Next sprinkle on some iridescent fine glitter. I placed a big acrylic block over the panel to allow it to help prevent any curling of the paper.

I wanted to add even more color so before I adhered the clean punched die cut I applied some soft Distress Oxide ink to the flower centers with a cosmetic brush. It’s up to you whether you want more color or would like to keep the die clean. All that was left was to add a sentiment. I selected a sentiment from the Valentine Wreath stamp set. It fit perfectly inside the open heart.

I hope you’ll give this technique a try with any of your cover panels – the results are shiny, glossy and oh so pretty.

We hope you’ve enjoy this week of Valentine inspiration. Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine Theme Week- Day 6

Hi friends! It’s Tammy here and I’m excited to be joining in for Valentine Theme Week over at Pretty Pink Posh! Love is in the air, and I have a couple of fun projects to share, using products from the new Valentine release.

**All items in the Valentine section are 15% during theme week!**

Affiliate links are used for products that are not sold in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop.

To begin, I stamped the images from the Love Balloons stamp set, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the coordinating dies.

Copic Colors Used: Red: R46, R17, R05 Pinks: RV17, RV06, RV04, RV02, RV00 Squirrel: E25, E23, E31, E51, E50 Beaver: E47, E44, E43, E42, E40, E51, E50 Skunk: C7, C5, C3, C1, C00 Bunny: W4, W2, W1, W0, W00

For my first card, I created an infinity shaker card. To begin, I cut an A2 piece of Bristol smooth cardstock and lightly ink blended it with Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide inks. I then placed the Scattered Hearts Stencil over my inked background and blended Picked Raspberry and Kitsch Flamingo to create a subtle heart background. I then put the inked background into an A2 cello bag and filled it with Pink Hearts Clay Confetti, White Hearts Clay Confetti, and Be Mine Valentine Clay Confetti, then sealed it up.

Next, I die cut a white cloud border using the Stitched Borders 2 Dies, trimmed it to fit, stamped my sentiment, and attached it to the front of my shaker. Lastly, I arranged the colored images onto my card and attached them using foam tape, then attached the shaker to a white A2 card case using strong adhesive.

For my next card, I created a simple heart shaker card using the adorable images from the Love Balloons stamp set. I started by cutting an A2 card base using hot pink cardstock. Next, I cut a smaller white rectangle, then cut a heart opening using the All My Love Coordinating Dies. I inked a panel of Bristol cardstock using Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide inks, and then lightly stenciled some hearts with Kitsch Flamingo using the Scattered Hearts Stencil. I attached a piece of acetate to cover the heart opening and lined the back of the panel with foam tape. I sprinkled Pink Hearts Clay Confetti, White Hearts Clay Confetti, and Be Mine Valentine Clay Confetti onto the inked background and attached the white panel to the hot pink cardstock to create the shaker.

Lastly, I attached the stamped images to my card using foam tape for dimension and stamped the sentiment in black ink to complete my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I inspired you to create something fun for Valentine’s Day!

Big hugs,
Tammy

Valentine Theme Week- Day 4

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Today I’m going to make a card using some fun new products from Pretty Pink Posh.

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

For my card, I used the following stamp sets: Valentine Wreath, Love Borders, and Sending Love. I started off by coloring the stamps using Copic markers.

Below is a list of Copic markers that I used.

Wreath
Red – R21, R22, R24
Gray – CO, C4, Blender
Purple – BV000, BV01
Green – G00, G02
Pink – RV00, RV52, RV55
Yellow – Y11, Y13, Y15

Dog
Ears (Dark Gray) – C4, C5, C7
Body (Light Gray) – C0, C1, C3
Paws – C5, C7
Nose – C7
Tongue – R20
Collar – R22, R24

Box
Pink – RV00, RV52, RV55
Gray – C0, C4, Blender
Red – R24

After I finished coloring the stamps, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

Next, I die cut a Scallop Circle Die two times – once with red cardstock and once with white cardstock. I used the red piece for the outside of the frame and the white piece for the inside of the frame. I added Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink to the center of the white piece.

The trick to make the wreath look larger is to cut the wreath in half. Make sure you cut the wreath down the horizontal center at 1.75 inches so that you end up with a top half and bottom half.

Next, I cut a piece of green cardstock that measures 4 1/8” x 1” and adhered it to the center of a piece of white cardstock that measures 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. Next, I added each piece of the wreath so that the flat edge of the wreath is touching the green strip of cardstock. Then I added two heart borders – one at the top of the green strip and the other one at bottom of the green strip.

To finish my card, I added the scallop circle die cut frame to the center and added the dog stamp on top of the scallop circle. Finally, I added the card layer to an A2 size red card base.

Valentine Theme Week- Day 3

Hello, it’s Gemma here today for Valentine Theme Week.

The new Valentine Wreath stamp set is showcased on my card today. I offset the wreath for a fun alternative design. I began with the background, using the new Scattered Hearts stencil to dry emboss a pattern on the right side of a card panel. The plate sandwich will depend on your die cutting machine, so experiment to get the desired look. You may want to add shims for a deeper impression.

Be sure to stop by the Valentine section as all items there are 15% off this week!

I then lightly used a blending brush to add Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo distress oxide ink colours. I started from the right hand side, fading out the colour as I went. The ink highlights the embossed details nicely. I adhered this panel to my card base.

Copic marker colours

Wreath: E40 E41 R20 R22 R81 B91 BG72 Bird: R00 R81 RV34 B91 B34 R20

Next, I stamped images from two new stamp sets – Valentine Wreath and Sending Love. I coloured them with copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies. I used foam tape to adhere the bird and wreath to the card.

For the sentiment, I stamped a greeting from the Valentine Wreath stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink on a piece of white card. I then heat embossed it with a clear shimmer embossing powder.

I die cut the sentiment and added layers behind for dimension, then adhered to my card to finish.

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.
