Summer Greetings

Hey crafty friends! Elaine here to share a super fun summer card using fabulous new products from the Pretty Pink Posh June release!

To start this card, I cut a piece of copic friendly cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5”, this will be trimmed down later. Using the new Summer Wreath stamp set, I used a black copic friendly ink to stamp the palm tree, water melon, umbrella, ice lolly and ice cream multiple times all over the card panel. I like to start with the biggest stamps first, in this case the palm tree and then worked down to the smallest stamps to fill in any gaps. My preferred method for creating my own background using little stamps is to mount the stamps on to an acrylic block and stamp direct to the card. I have used a stamp positioner in the past, but it takes a lot longer….and I am impatient 😉. I then colored all the images. I used quite a lot of different marker combinations for this project, and I have listed them all below. I love the fun and vibrant colors and think they all work lovely together:

Palm tree: E29, E27, E25, G17, YG23, YG03

Watermelon: R37, R35, R32, G28, G07, G05

Umbrella: BG15, BG13, BG11, Y15, Y13, Y11, RV66, RV55, RV52

Ice lolly: R29, R27, R24, YR07, YR04, YR02, Y15, Y13, Y11

Ice cream: R85, R83, R81, E57, E55, E53, R39, R35

Once I colored all the images I trimmed the panel to 5 1/8” x 3 7/8” and secured it to a piece of hot pink cardstock measuring 5 3/8” x 4 1/8” to leave a nice border. After applying some liquid adhesive to the back of the hot pick card panel I secured to a white A2 size base.

For the sentiment I went small and simple to ensure my background was the star of the show. I used the sentiment ‘Summer Greetings’ from the same Summer Wreath stamp set and stamped it with a black pigment ink on to some white heavy weight cardstock. I carefully trimmed this with a guillotine trimmer and layered it on to a piece of black cardstock with a small border to help the sentiment stand out on the colorful background. I adhered the sentiment with a piece of foam tape to the centre of the card front.

For some final embellishment I added small jewels in the shades Watermelon, Caribbean Blue and Lemon Drop in gaps around the images. I also added some highlights with a white gel pen to the images to help them pop.

I hope you enjoyed this project, and it brings you some inspiration for your own summer themed cards. I cannot wait to see what everyone else creates with the products in the June release!

Day 3: Blog Hop+ June Release Now Available

Hello, Gemma here and today my card is in the style of a scrapbook layout and features lots of summery June release products.

I began with the background. I created a gel print patterned background, with evergreen bough, mermaid lagoon, and cracked pistachio distress oxide inks.

Over the top of the print, I blended salvaged patina distress oxide ink through the new Squiggles stencil. The texture of the background shows through the ink on top and it’s a nice contrast in the swirl areas of the stencil.

I layered this background print over a large square card base. My card base is 148mm square, as this fits my U.K. cardstock, but a slightly smaller 5.5 inch square card base would work well too.

Next, I die cut four of the previously released Stitched Photo Frames from white card. I layered two frames together for dimension, and stamped a sentiment on each from the new Summer Fun stamp set.

On two of the insert pieces, I created day and night beach scenes with masking and distress oxides. Here are the colours I used:

Day beach scene is tumbled glass for sky, mermaid lagoon for sea, antique linen and frayed burlap for sand
Night beach scene is tattered rose and kitsch flamingo for sky, blueprint sketch for sea, tattered rose and dried marigold for sand

I added some copic markers and white gel pen dot details on the sand, to give the beach some texture.

Next, I stamped images from Summer Fun and Summer Wreath stamp sets and coloured them with copic markers. The smaller images from the Summer Wreath stamp set are perfect for adding to my beach scenes. I die cut the images with the coordinating dies and arranged on the card, using foam tape for dimension. Finally, I added white gel pen highlight details to the images.

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE

Hello friends! Ready or not, Summertime is upon us! It’s Leica here today with an A2 sized card, featuring the new Vacation Scene Die. This is a fun new addition to the previously released scene Dies – Spring, Winter, and Beach.

Let’s begin! I first die cut the Vacation Scene Die in white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch Markers. I used BG15/11/000, E47/44/43/33/31/30, N3/1, Y15/13/11, RV11/10/00, V17/15/12. I then adhere the pieces back together by gluing them onto a circle panel.

For the fun background, I inked through the new Layered Surfboards Stencil in Seedless Preserves, Milled Lavender, Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar, Fossilized Amber, and Antique Linen distress oxide inks.

I added stitching details around the panel by running it through my die cut machine using the Stitched Notes Die. I then glued the outer area of the panel onto an A2 card base, and for dimension, I foam taped the center part. I also foam taped the scene die for even more dimension. Lastly, I white heat embossed the Happy Summer sentiment from Summer Fun stamp set onto a strip of black cardstock.

Hi Friends! It is Melody here today and I have a card to share with you that I created with the new Summer Wreath stamp set and coordinating dies. I love the PPP Wreath Collection and the summer theme is a fun addition to the collection.

I started by stamping the wreath in black ink and coloring the images with Copic Markers. I die cut the wreath with the Summer Wreath coordinating die.

The stamp set includes additional images besides the wreath. I chose some of the images to stamp, color, and die cut to add to my card. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set in the middle of the wreath and added the sunglasses below the sentiment. In the left corner I added the sun.

I added additional images at the bottom of the card, attaching some of the images with foam tape to add dimension.

To create the card front I cut a piece of white cardstock and blended Speckled Egg Distress Ink on the white background. Next I cut the wave with the new Stitched Waves die set. I cut the wave from white cardstock and blended Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. I splattered a little bit of white paint on the wave.

Next I cut a strip of Kraft cardstock and tore the edges to add to the look of sand. To finish the card off, I blended Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink on the edges.

Sneak Peek: June 2021 Stencils

Hi Friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be sharing a sneak peek of some of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on June 14th.

My first card uses the fun new Layered Surfboard Stencil Set. This is a two pack of stencils. The first stencil creates the base of the surfboards and the second stencil adds the detail. I attached the first stencil to my card panel and used post it notes to mask off each surfboard. I added dye ink to each individual surfboard and then moved the post it note to cover and uncover the next one accordingly. This was an extra step though definitely worth it to be able to create a rainbow. Once my first layer was finished I attached the second stencil to my panel. I once again masked off each surfboard and applied the same color of ink for the detail.

For my sentiment, I stamped and die cut the word Summer from the Summer Drinks Set. I then used the Sea Friends set to stamp the word Hello. Lastly, I trimmed my panel down, attached it to an A2 card base and attached my sentiment with foam adhesive.

My next card uses the new Grid Stencil along with the Summer Drinks stamp set.

I started my card by creating my card panel with the Grid Stencil. I masked off the four squares and applied dye ink directly onto my panel. I love the graphic look you can create with this stencil.

Next, I stamped my drinks and sentiment with the Summer Drinks set. I colored the images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Lastly, I attached my images with foam adhesive to the card panel. Don’t you just love this stencil? It makes the perfect background.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my cards and I will be back soon to share another project with you all.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Sneak Peek: June 2021 Dies

Hi Friends! It is Dana here with a card that will have you dreaming about summer and vacation. Today’s card features two new dies from the June 14th release!

I started my card by creating my background with one of the dies from the Stacked Edges 3 Die Set. I pulled out cardstock in a rainbow of colors and ran the die through my die cutting machine multiple times. I attached the scallops to a piece of paper and then trimmed the edges to make my card panel. Next, I used the Vacation Scene Die to create my focal image. Such a fun die and I love how easy it is to use.

*If you haven’t seen the previous Stacked Edges 1 and Stacked Edges 2 die sets, they are must haves!

Lastly, I used the Summer Surfboards stamp set to stamp my sentiment. I stamped the sentiment onto a black cardstock strip with VersaMark ink and heat set it with white embossing powder.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my “summery” card.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Sneak Peek: Summer Borders + Summer Fun

Hello friends! Get ready for another fun sneak peek of our June 14th release! It’s Leica here today with a Summer card featuring the new Summer Fun stamp set and Summer Borders stamp set.

I think this is the most coloring I’ve ever done in one card, but I enjoyed the process and my daughter said it turned out so cute. Let’s get started!

To begin, I cut an A2 size panel in white cardstock and made the background by stamping the ice cream and popsicle stamp from the Summer Borders stamp set. I colored with Copic markers in B0000/00/02, BV000/00/02, E42/43/44/47, R20/22/24, YR000/00/02/04. I then decided to color the entire panel with Copic R00. I could have definitely skipped this step by starting out with a light pink cardstock. For the stitching details, I ran the panel through my die cut machine using the Stitched Notes Die.

Next, I stamped the adorable tiger from the new Summer Fun Stamp Set. I also stamped the tiger from the Jungle Friends stamp set. I wanted to add more, my husband says it’s because “I’m so extra,” so I added the little trees, sun, ice cream and popsicle from the Summer Wreath stamp set.

For the images to pop out more against the busy background, I added vellum that I cut using the tag from the Spring Circles Dies. I adhered all the elements onto my panel and lastly, onto a card base.

I hope you are excited for the new release! There are other adorable critters included in the Summer Fun stamp set that I know you are going to love!

Thanks for stopping by today. Join us tomorrow for more sneak peeks!

Sneak Peek: Summer Wreath

Hello, crafty friends! Leica here and today I am sharing a peek of the new Summer Wreath stamp set that releases on June 14th. This is a fun addition to the other previously-released wreath stamp sets: Winter, Spring, and Autumn.

I’ve been enjoying making circle cards lately and I thought this wreath was perfect for a shaped-card. I started by cutting a 4.5″ circle that I ink blended with Shaded Lilac and Milled Lavender distress oxide inks. I then cut a smaller size circle and inked the top portion with Squeezed Lemonade and the bottom with Peacock Feathers. Next, I added waves detail from the new Stitched Waves Die.

I stamped, colored, and cut the wreath with the coordinating die. I used Copic Sketch markers in B02/00, E47/44/43, N3/1/0. R24/22/20, Y13/11, YG23/21, and YR04/02/00/000. I then added highlights with a white gel pen. The sentiment is white heat embossed on a strip of black cardstock.

There is another new stamp set that goes well with the Summer Wreath called Summer Borders and it coordinates perfectly! I turned my card into an easel card just so I can use one of the images from that set. I thought it would be a nice surprise for the card recipient to see more summer goodies upon opening the card. I will share a tutorial on how to make the easel mechanism for this card soon.

Back to the card… I adhered the panels onto the card base and lastly, I added some sequins for some sparkle.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek.

Sneak Peek: Summer Drinks

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at the new Summer Drinks stamp set from the upcoming June 14th release!

These cocktails are such fun to colour! I enjoyed spending time creating my own cocktails, mixing different copic colours together until I had a rainbow of drinks. I then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Summer Drinks

For my first card, I created a background using the new Circles stencil and Hickory Smoke distress oxide ink. I cut a large 148mm square card base so I could use the whole stencil pattern and fit as many drinks on there as I could.

I added some blank die cuts behind my images for dimension, then adhered them in a rainbow pattern over the circles.

I used a sentiment from the Summer Drinks stamp set, embossing it in white on black card and tucking it between the cocktails.

For my second card, I created a beach scene using coloured cardstock with the new Stitched Waves die set and the previously released Simple Strip dies. I adhered the layers on a square 4.75 inch card base.

Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Summer Drinks stamp set. I embossed the large Summer sentiment on navy card with white embossing powder. I die cut it with the coordinating die, adding extra layers for dimension, then adhered it above the stamped sentiment.

On the beach part of my scene, I arranged the drinks and additional images from the Summer Drinks stamp set, using foam tape behind some for dimension.

I hope you enjoyed these cards using this fun set. Join us tomorrow for a look at what else is coming in the June 14th release!
