Pretty Pink Posh: Mini Slimline Cards + Video

I love how these layered roads come together. The layering of the stencil makes it super quick and easy to create a background.

I’m using Twisted Citron & Mowed Lawn distress oxide inks for my hills, Pumice Stone and a hint of Hickory Smoke distress oxide for the pavement and a bit of white paste for the lines of the roads.

Don’t let coloring the images intimidate you! Do a little emboss resist to quickly add color to the images from the Across the Miles stamp set.

I have a secret to share …… these two mini slimline cards were a happy accident. I meant to create one card but I trimmed the background down incorrectly. Since I put a lot of effort into the background, I was not going to let it go to waste.

I did sneak in one additional sentiment that came from the Birthday Scripts stamp set.

I think these sets are super versatile because not only are they great for little kids, but I think adults too!

Hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration.

Sunflowers & Bees

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a get well soon card that will sure bring a smile to your card recipient. For this square-shaped card, I used a combination of previously-released sets: Bee Friends stamp set and Sunflowers stamp set.

Let’s begin! I first cut a 4 inch square in white cardstock and ran it through a die cut machine with a dot embossing folder for texture. I then adhered it onto a 4.5 inch square light pink card base.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the flowers and bees. I used Copic markers – BG10, E49/47/44, N3/1/0, Y13/11/00, Y38/35/23/21/08, YG99/23/21. I adhered the leaves onto the card panel using liquid glue, foam mounted the sunflowers on top for dimension, and glued the bees on the flowers. The sentiment is from the Simple Sentiments stamp set. I love this set as it covers a lot of occasions for cardmaking. It is my most used stamp set. I white heat embossed the get well soon sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and adhered on the bottom left side of the card.

That’s all for this card. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Layered Stencils with Laura Bassen

Hi there! Laura here and today I have a colorful project to share featuring the adorable, new Construction Trucks products. Never thought in a million years that I’d be gushing over construction truck, but here I am, gushing at them in rainbow goodness!

Here is a video showing how I created this card.

Pretty Pink Posh: Layered Stencils with Laura Bassen

For the background I used the Layered Construction Trucks Stencil Set. This set has three stencils that allow you to build your construction trucks in tons of colors. Get it? Tons. See what I did there?

I used the Construction Trucks coordinating dies to cut out the blended trucks and pop them up onto a cream panel. For the sentiment I embossed the Loads of Love from the Construction Trucks Stamp Set in white onto a simple, black die cut circle.

This colorful, dimensional background idea can be easily adapted using the Across the Miles images as well as the Dinosaur Additions products. Thank you so much for joining me today!

Stomping By to Say Hello

Hello crafty friends. Davina here, “ Stomping by”, with a fun dinosaur filled slimline card using the amazing June Release. There are two new dinosaur sets full of the cutest images and accessories. I used both Dinosaur Friends and Dinosaur Additions to create this card.

I stamped and colored my images with bold primary colors, before using the coordinating dies to cut out my pieces. Next, I used a large stitched slimline die to cut layers for my background. I inked the layers and background using distress oxides in bold bright colors. Then I used Ranger Grit Paste and the Layered Dinosaur Stencils to emboss the footprints into my shorter layers.

I arranged the images onto the layers, and adhered them throughout, after stamping a sentiment toward the bottom, with the addition of the new Hello Script die. Once everything was in place I finished it off with some sparkling sequins and layered it onto a red card base.

I had so much fun creating with the new playful release and I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Thank you for “stomping” by,

Davina

3D Spring Foliage

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a floral card stack type of card. It’s super simple to make and I hope that you will try this style.

I first cut the Card Stack Base Dies (by Concord and 9th) in white cardstock. I added design and color to the side panels by inking Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks through the Mini Grid Stencil. I also added a background panel and ink blended it with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink.

I stamped the sentiment with black ink onto the front strip before putting the card stack together. Then I cut some flowers and stems from the Spring Foliage Dies in pink, purple, and green cardstock. I glued them onto the inserts of the Card Stack. And this completes the card! Wasn’t that so easy?

For the flowers, you can always add contrast by inkling the edges or adding colors with Copic markers. Anything goes!

That’s all for today’s card share. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 7

Hello, Jeanne here for the last day of the Thermoweb collaboration week.

I just love to select stamp sets and dies that make my heart happy so I can send smiles across the miles. Today I wanted to demonstrate that behind all the cute images and detailed dies there’s great adhesives and bling that make every detail just right. This week we’re collaborating with Thermoweb and sharing a little “behind the image” products that can make your crafting time easier and more satisfying.

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

This card starts with a Distress Oxide inky panel in shades of blues and greens and that would be gorgeous alone… but how about kicking it up a notch? I applied Gina K Glitz Gel in Iridescent over the entire panel for a glamourous glittery upgrade. I love to use iridescent because I can smear it over any solid color background… ink or colored cardstock for some added sparkle.

I topped the sparkly panel with a Pretty Petals cover die using Mixed Media Multi-Purpose Adhesive. Liquid adhesive is great because you have a little “wiggle room” allowing you to adjust the die cut before it dries for perfect positioning every time. I cut a window in the center of the cover panel using the oval shape from the Decorative Tag 1 set.

Did you know you can add foil to your projects without having a foiler machine? To add gold to the oval insert on the frame I cut a piece Deco Foil Foam Adhesive Sheets, peeled the coating off one side and adhered some gold Deco Foil and then ran the piece through my die cut machine. I recommend applying the foil BEFORE you cut your die because the pressure from the die cut machine gives a smooth finish to the gold foil.

The finished assembled background is elegant and sparkly perfect for a proud peacock. Remember that behind every beautiful project you’ll find reliable Thermoweb adhesives and elegant bling.

Thank you for joining us this week for a fun collaboration. We hope you’ve been inspired by all the projects featuring Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web!

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 6

Hello, Kavya here and welcome to another day of the Pretty Pink Posh + Thermoweb collaboration!

Foiling is the new fad in cardmaking and I am all for it! If you like critters like me, it can be a bit difficult to incorporate foiling into cardmaking. One easy way to do so is to add foiled backgrounds!

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

Thermoweb has a bunch of toner card fronts in simple designs that make it super easy to foil. For today’s card, I used the Candy Stripes toner card front with their stunning Fancy Foils Silver Sequins foil that has a beautiful rainbow glimmer when viewed from the side! After foiling it using my minc (heat seating 3), I ink blended the background using dye inks in shades of pink, orange, yellow, green and teal.

Finally, I stamped and colored images from Pretty Pink Posh’s Crafty Days and Sending Love sets and adhered them on the foiled background to create a fun card for a crafty best friend!

I hope this card inspires you to try out foiling with some critters!

Happy crafting, Kavya
