Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Today I’m sharing a clean and simple card design featuring the Floral Arch die set.
For my card, I started by using Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens to make a watercolor background. I love how easily these pens blend together while adding a touch of glitter and shine to the background! Next, I cut the panel to 3” x 4”. I die cut the Floral Arch twice from white cardstock and added the die cut to the top right corner and the bottom left corner of the watercolored background. I die cut a Scallop Frame die from white card stock and added it to the top of the watercolored background. Using the white die cuts on the blue watercolored background really makes the card pop!
Hello crafty friends. It’s Leica here today with a fun birthday shaker card. This is simple to recreate and great for mass-producing to have birthday cards in hand to send to friends and loved ones.
I first cut the Birthday Cake Die in gold glitter cardstock that already has adhesive on the back. I got this from the big box store. I then adhere the cover panel onto a 4.25 x 5.5 inch clear acetate to make a window for the shaker. For the background, I used a cardstock that has dot prints. You can also make your own background using the Mini and/or Medium Polka Dots Stencils. For the shaker bits, I used the Cupcake Clay Confetti and Sherbet Clay Confetti. The sentiment is stamped onto a strip of pink cardstock and adhered onto the front of the card. Lastly, I adhered the shaker panel onto an A2 sized card base.
That’s all for this birthday card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to make a shaker card with this previously-released Birthday Cake Die. Have a great day!
Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a square-shaped card, using the new Layered Spring Flowers stencils and Celebration Scripts stamp set. For this card, I went with a Congratulations to you sentiment. However, I think this design would also make a beautiful card for other occasions.
I started by cutting a 5 inch cardstock in purple and a smaller panel in white cardstock. I then inked through the smaller panel with Distress Oxide Inks – Milled Lavender + Kitsch Flamingo, and Cracked Pistachio + Salvaged Patina. I shifted Layer C to have dots on the negative space of the panel. I adhered the panels together.
Next, I stamped the sentiment using Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink on white cardstock and cut with the coordinating die. I then cut a few more of the coordinating die in pink cardstock and adhered them together for a stacked look. I white heat embossed “to you” on a strip of black cardstock and foam mounted it onto the card panel. For added dimension, I adhered Pink Blush Pearls on the center of the flowers. Lastly, I adhered the card panel onto a 5 inch square card base.
That’s all for this card. Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great day!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a fun card that would be perfect to give to a fellow crafty friend, using the new Crafty Background Stencil and Crafty Sentiments stamp set. I decided to make a shaker card using these sets.
I first cut a 5.5 inch square panel in white cardstock for the card base. I then ink blended through the Crafty Background Stencil.
Next, I cut a frame for the shaker using square shaped dies. I glued a sheet of acetate on the back of the frame and stamped the sentiment with Stazon Jet Black Ink before adding foam tape to create the shaker well.
For the shaker bits, I went withCupcake Clay Confetti and Blue Sky Seed Beads. I just love the way it sounds when you shake the card! Lastly, I adhered the card panel onto a 5.5 inch square card panel.
Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today. It’s no secret that I was smitten by the Fall Foliage dies from the moment they were released. I rave about and create with them all of the time, so you can imagine my delight as soon as I laid eyes on the Spring Foliage dies! This set is packed with the same fabulousness, but in a slightly smaller scale and with the addition of stitched lines.
TheSpring Foliage dies can be colored and dressed up, but I also appreciate that their beauty can stand alone even in plain white, which is obviously the direction I chose to go here. Paired with a dark navy card base, it is quite the striking combo.
I created this card in a somewhat mirroring pattern. I used the newly releasedPraying For You Script dieas the center focal point and built my design outward from there. Starting with the largest greenery, I placed one in the top left corner and a second matching die cut in the bottom right. Then I repeated the pattern on the opposite corners with a similar piece of greenery. Visually it creates an “X”.
Next I put a large flower in the center of the top and bottom and placed smaller flowers on opposite sides creating another visual “X”. I kept building outward, repeating the design with smaller images until I had filled pretty much every nook and cranny.
I had so much fun making this card. The puzzle-loving side of me enjoyed finding just the right piece to fit in each spot, and amazingly I only had to run the dies through the die machine twice to get everything I needed (with lots of extras leftover).
I’ve been blown away by this whole release and have had so much fun creating with everything in it, but I have to admit that the two dies I’ve used today are my absolute favorites. They are most definitely worth adding to your collection!
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. For more inspiration, head to the Pretty Pink Posh Instagram– we’re kicking off a three day hop there!
Hello, Gemma here. I’m using the fabulous new Layered Letters stencil set on my card today. I love using layered stencils as they create amazing backgrounds, quickly and easily.
I began with a 6″ square piece of card and Hickory Smoke distress oxide ink. I blended lightly through Layer B of the stencil set, concentrating the colour around the edges.
Next, I chose a rainbow of distress oxide inks and blended them through Layer A of the stencil set. The vibrant colours show up well over the grey ink.
Here is a list of the distress oxides I used for Layer A: Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Shabby Shutters, Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac, Kitsch Flamingo.
For the last layer, I used Nuvo Glacier Paste in Golden Era. The shine is beautiful! Make sure to clean off the stencil well after using any kind of paste. The panel will need to dry for a few hours, too.
Once the panel was fully dry, I trimmed it down to 5.25″ and adhered it to my card base.
For the sentiment, I cut a Stitched Strip of coloured card and stamped a greeting from the previously released Sending Love stamp set. I also cut a thinner strip of gold mirror card, then adhered both to my card to finish.
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 friends! It’s Leica here today with a slimline card using the new Crafty Days and Crafty Sentiments stamp sets from the May 2022 release.
I started my card by cutting a pink panel in 3.5 x 8.5 inches. I then cut a smaller panel in white cardstock. I didn’t want the background to be too plain, so I stamped it with the border stamps in Old Paper Distress Oxide Inks. I think it turned out so cute!
Next, I stamped the images from the Crafty Days stamp set, colored them with Copic markers and cut with the coordinating die. I then cut 3 of the scalloped squares in different colors. I adhered the images onto the scalloped squares and stamped the sentiment onto the teal one. The squares were then foam mounted onto the card panel. I also glued a pink heart for added interest to the card. Lastly, I adhered the card panel onto a slimline card base.
That’s all for this card! The Crafty Sentiments stamp set is definitely one of my faves from the new release and I can’t wait to make more cards for my crafty friends!

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.
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.
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.

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!
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.
While those were drying, I cut a piece of teal cardstock and layered the newMini Grid stencilover 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 Tagand stamped a sentiment fromCrafty Sentimentsin 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 diewith 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!
