Hi crafty friends, it’s Mona. Welcome to day 3 of the Pretty Pink Posh Autumn Theme Week.

Stop by the Thanksgiving section at the Pretty Pink Posh store for 15% off products in that category this week!

To create this scene, first I grabbed my current favorite fall stamp set, the Cozy Fall Critters stamp set, and stamped the squirrel, some leaves, the most amazing pinecones and an acorn to a piece of Neenah Solar white cardstock with brown alcohol friendly inkpad.

After a quick heat set, I colored them with Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers. I wanted to achieve a rusty look for the squirrel, and an amber touch for the golden leaves, so I have used the following colors: TN8, TN7, TM3, TN1, FS8, EB4, EB2, BO3, BO1, CT4, CT3, CT1, FS9. I have also added white details to pop the images out more with white pigment pen.

For the background I have created a monochromatic fall tree look, using only pink shades. Started with my lightest markers to make the tree shapes, and finished with more vibrant colors to give it a dimension. I have used the following shades from the Spectrum Noir Illustrators: AP1, PP1, FS2, PP3, PP4, PP6.

Next, I stamped the Autumn scripty word from the Woodland Thanks stamp set with watermark ink and heat embossed with gold and white embossing powders. The thankful sentiment has it’s coordinating die, which is really cool. I love when the scripty sentiments have their coordinating dies. I also stamped the “wishes” word from the Holiday Scripts stamp set with dark brown ink.

In the end I styled my card and put the pieces together with 3D foam squares and liquid adhesive. Thank you so much for joining me for today, I wish you a peaceful autumn day.

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a girly Autumn card as part of our Autumn Theme Week. I just love pink, no matter the season. So I thought I’d try it for an Autumn card and I’m glad it worked out for my card.

Be sure to shop the Thanksgiving section for 15% off items in this category all week!

Let’s start! I first cut a 5″ square in light pink cardstock and ink blended the bottom with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. I then cut a 4.5″ square in white cardstock and ink blended Gina K Designs Amalgam Ink in Warm Glow through the Leaves Background Stencil. I adhered the smaller panel onto the larger panel. I also cut a 4.5″ square vellum to mute the busy background and allow the leaves/wreath to stand out. 

Next, I used the Falling Leaves Stencil for some easy coloring. I used Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide Inks. I then lined up the coordinating stamps from the Falling Leaves stamp set and used my stamping platform to stamp over the stenciled leaves. For this, I used Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. I cut the leaves with their coordinating dies. I arranged the leaves in a wreath and foam mounted them onto the vellum panel. I then adhered the vellum to the 4.5″ square panel. 

For the sentiment, I heat embossed Autumn in gold and cut with the coordinating die. The word blessings is stamped onto a strip of pink cardstock and foam mounted in the center of the card. 

I couldn’t resist adding the little acorns from the Cozy Fall Critters stamp set onto my wreath. To complete the look, I also tied a bow using brown twine. 

Lastly, I cut a white 5″ square, scored at the .25″ mark, and adhered it to the card panel to finish my card.

I hope you enjoyed my pink Autumn card! Have an amazing day! 

Hello there crafty friends! Elaine here today to share a couple of simple cards ideas using some Halloween products! I couldn’t wait to use the Halloween Wreath stamp set; I just love everything about it plus all the little extra stamps included in the set.  

I stamped the wreath image and lots of the additional stamps that come in the set on to copic friendly cardstock with a copic friendly ink.  I then used my copic markers to colour all the images.  Here are all the markers I used:

Hat: C10, C7, C5, RV66, RV63
Candy corn: YR07, YR04, YR02, Y17, Y15, Y13
Candy 1: RV66, RV63
Candy 2: V17, V15, V12, BG15, BG11
Candy lolly: BV11, BV01, BV000, V09, V06
Frankenstein: C10, C7, C5, G28, G07, G03
Ghost: BV01, BV00, BV000, RV52
Spider: W8, W6, W4
Bat: W8, W6, W4
Jelly Bean: YG23, YG01
Star: V09, V06, V04
Moon: YR24, Y13, Y11
Large ghost: B01, B00, B000, RV52

I used the Halloween Wreath coordinating die to cut out all my images.  

For both card designs I used white card bases with a 4 ½” x 4½” front.  For the card with the wreath, I used a medium sized blending brush along with Distress Ink in Wilted Violet to slowly build up colour in a circle to create a halo background for the wreath to sit on.  I used the wreath to help me build up the intensity to ensure there was enough colour showing.  I added a few Wilted Violet ink splatters as well as some black splatters to help add more interest to the background.  

Using the Trick or Treat sentiment from the Halloween Wreath set, I stamped it in the centre of the card front with a black pigment ink.  The last thing to do was adhere the wreath, bat, and ghost and that finished up the first card!

For the second card I used some temporary spray adhesive on the back the Candy Background stencil and secured it over some smooth heavyweight white card. I gently blended some Distress Ink in Wilted Violet over the stencil to create a fun subtle background. After removing the stencil, I splattered on some watered down Wilted Violet and Black Soot Distress Ink with a tiny paint brush and cut the stencilled panel to 3 7/8“ x 3 7/8”. Next, I cut the Trick or Treat Script die from black card stock and secured it to the front of the panel with liquid adhesive. Using some of the little extra stamps I coloured I secured a few of them on the front of the card. To create the spider thread, I drew a line with a ruler and fine tip permanent marker, I love how cute Mr Spider looks hanging off the letter ‘t’! 

I matted my stencilled panel on to a light grey card panel measuring 4 1/8” x 4 1/8” and layered it on top of a purple panel measuring 4 ¼” x 4 ¼”.  Finally, the whole panel was secured to the front of the white card base. 

Thank you so much for joining me today, I hope you enjoyed these cards using some of the Halloween products!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a Christmas card featuring the cutest snowman die from Pretty Pink Posh’s new release. This is a standalone die called Snowman Shaker.

To begin, I cut a 3.75″ x 5″ white cardstock using the Stitched Notes Die. I ink blended the bottom portion with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. I also cut a smaller panel and ink blended the bottom area with Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. I added snow using Glitz Glitter Gel in white through the Snowfall Stencil.  

Next, I cut the snowman and top hat in 110lb white cardstock. I colored the hat with Copic Sketch markers – BG09/05/13 and N9/7/5. I then colored the eyes and mouth with N9, nose with YR07/04, and arms with E47/44. To easily piece the snowman together, I turned it over and taped the edge of the border to the larger die. I also added tape behind the eyes, nose, and mouth. I then glued the eyes, nose, and mouth down to the tape. 

I foam mounted the snowman and hat onto the panel for dimension. Next, I white heat embossed “Let it” on a strip of black cardstock. I also white heat embossed “Snow” on pink cardstock and cut with its coordinating die. I foam mounted the sentiment onto the card panel. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a card base – 5″ x 7.5″ scored at the 3.75″ mark. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this Christmas card.

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today to share a couple projects using the new Layered Ornaments Stencils. I LOVE this set! It’s very easy to align and the ornaments are so cute!  

Stencils are a great way to fill space quickly, so I decided to make a slimline card. I blended the first two rows in aqua, the second two in pink, and then I moved my stencil down a bit to create a third set of rows in green. I added the ornament details in darker shades of each color using the second stencil in the set, and finally I added the ornament tops in grey with the third stencil layer.  

I wanted a sentiment that would still allow the ornaments to be visible, so I decided to use vellum. Cutting the vellum with the smallest frame in the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies created stitched lines at the top and bottom of the sentiment strip. Then I simply cut the Merry Christmas Script Die in black, placed it on my vellum strip, and adhered it at an angle on my card.  

I could have stopped there, but recently when I was cleaning out some crafty supplies I found a bottle of glitter glue, and now seemed like a good time to use it. I added glitter lines to the top and bottom of my sentiment strip as well as various stripes on the ornaments. A little sparkle made the ornaments even cuter! The final touch was a few marshmallow pearls in the snowflake centers.  

With the same supplies out, I got to work on my second project. I knew I didn’t need as many ornaments, so I just randomly stenciled some of the Layered Ornaments in the turquoise, green, and pink/red combos.  Then I trimmed them out with scissors and arranged them on my card, popping them up with a bit of foam tape for dimension.

I filled in some of the open white space with the two smallest sizes of marshmallow pearls…because, why not? :) I used the Holiday Scripts stamps + coordinating dies (love them!) for my sentiment. I even snuck the vellum on this card, too, by backing the sentiment with an added layer of vellum.  

There are SO MANY possibilities with the new Layered Ornaments Stencils. I’ll definitely be using them again and again. Thanks so much for visiting today! We can’t wait to see what you create with these new stencils. 

Hi everyone! Jane here and I’m so happy to be sharing this holiday card using the new Village and Village Additions stamp sest by Pretty Pink Posh.

To start, the background was ink blended using the following distress oxide inks: seedless preserves, victorian velvet and spun sugar. Be sure to leave a blank space at the bottom of the card to give the illusion of fallen snow.

The background was splatted using white acrylic paint and water to create a snowy background.

Next, I stamped the images from Village and Village Additions stamp sets using copic-friendly black ink and colored them using copic markers.  The building images were fussy cut using scissors and the rest of the images were die cut using the coordinating dies.  White gel pen used to add accents to the images.

I glued the building images to the ink blended background and used foam squares to pop up the tiny Village Additions images to the card front. Then, I used white Nuvo drops and glitter to mimic fallen snow to the rooftops. The sentiment from the Holiday Scripts stamp and coordinating die set  as used for the “Merry” and I stamped the “Christmas” using Versafine black ink with the help of my Misti.  After everything was dry, the entire card front was adhered to a light grey A2 card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Be sure to check out the October release online at Pretty Pink Posh!
