Hello! It’s Ardyth here with a post about rescuing your card fails! I had grand plans for some beautiful watercolor backgrounds that did not actually happen. Despite repeated attempts, I ended up with 3 unattractive panels that I really didn’t want to use. It’s so frustrating when that happens, isn’t it?
I slept on it and the next day, I decided to die cut the panels. Doing this often results in something much more usable and luckily, that’s what happened here!
I ended up with 6 beautiful cards from my 3 ugly panels. Here’s a video to show you that perseverance can really pay off!
Hello there! I wanted to pop in quickly to announce the four lucky winners of the Product Release Blog Hop posts HERE and HERE. Here are the lucky winners…
Ladies, email me within 7 days and I’ll send over the gift certificates so you can shop!
I wanted to let you know that the new release stamps and dies have been reordered and many will be restocked within the next two weeks. Thank you for making this release such a popular one!
We’ll be sharing a new video and new inspiration soon. Stay tuned!
To begin, I cut a piece of cardstock to 3 1/4 X 8 1/4″, and ink blended the background with Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint, and Forest Moss Distress Oxide inks. I added water splatters and some Forest Moss ink (thinned with water) to my inked background to add some interest.
Next, I added the vines and leaves to the inked background and attached the monkeys using foam tape for dimension. I then attached my card front to a 3 1/2 X 8 1/2″ white card base. The sentiment, from the Hedgehog Friends Stamp Set, was stamped onto a black cardstock strip and embossed with white embossing powder.
To complete my card, I added some Lemon Drop Jewels. They add the perfect amount of sparkle and interest to any project!
To start, I stamped and colored my images with Copic markers. I stamped lots of vines from the Jungle Friends set. The images were quick to color and you can see my blending and shading process in the video.
Copic colors used:
Greens: G12, G14, G17
Monkeys: [E50, E53], [E30, E34, E37]
Blush: R201, R20
After die-cutting my images, I set them aside to work on my scene. I die-cut the Nature Essentialsdie twice to get to birch trunks. Since I had two frames from the two cuts, I adhered them together to create a more sturdy and thicker frame. The two birch trunks are then colored with the E50 and E53 only at the side cuts.
My background is first ink-blended with Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink. I blended the color from top down with more saturated color at the top and faded to white towards the bottom. Then I used the Jungle Background Stencil to ink-blend Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink only towards the top of my panel. This will create a heavy tree canopy for the monkeys to swing from.
I adhered my frame and birch trunks to the ink-blended panel, then I stamped my sentiment. Then I began adhering the colored vines to my card to create the tree canopy for my monkeys. Finally, the monkeys are adhered to my card using foam adhesive to give the card some dimension.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card using the new release products from Pretty Pink Posh! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi friends! It’s Tammy and I’m so excited to be joining you on the PPP blog today! I am absolutely in LOVE with Pretty Pink Posh’s brand new release…it’s full of the sweetest little jungle animals I’ve ever seen! Today I’m sharing a card I made featuring the cuties from Jungle Friends.
The background was created using the Jungle Background Stencil, and ink blending with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks. I then splattered the background with some Mowed Lawn ink, thinned with water, for interest. I die cut the grass and frame (three times) using the Nature Essentials Die, and attached them to the inked background.
I arranged the stamped images onto my card, using foam tape on the monkey for dimension. To complete my card, I stamped the sentiment from Jungle Friends in black ink, and attached my card front to an A2 white card base.
I created a set of three cards using the lion and tiger from the Jungle Friendsstamp setand the monkey from the Monkey Friends stamp set. The tropical leaves are from the Jungle Additions stamp set. I used Copic markers to color these cuties in. For the green areas, I used G99, G94, YG17, YG01, and YG01. For the body of the lion and the monkey, I used E59, E57, E35, and E31. For the lion’s mane, I used E49, E47, E44, E43. For the tiger, I used YR09, YR16, and YR21.
I am in love with the new stencils from this release. I had so much fun using them. For the card bases, I used the leaves stencil from the new Layered Leaves and Flowers stencil set. For the kraft colored card base I began with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink then added Gathered Twigs over it.
For the yellow base, I used Fossilized Amber, Mustard Seed, and a bit of Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Inks. I used the Hi Shaker die to die cut the center out of each of the stenciled card bases. Then I layered the scalloped edges of the die-cut into the card bases. The little bits of grass peeking through are from the new Nature Essentials Die. I used Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles Distress Oxide inks to add colors to the die cuts. I then stamped the sentiment from the Jungle Friends stamp set using black ink onto the card bases. I used foam tape to glue the lion, monkey, and tiger to their card bases and the tropical leaves as well.

I was excited to see the new Simple Sentiments stamp set in the June release. There are sentiments for every occasion and the simple font works well on its own or with the many beautiful scripty sentiments by Pretty Pink Posh.
I began by die cutting different widths of theStitched Strips die set from 5 colours of card stock. If unsure of what colours to use, try searching for colour combos on Pinterest as there’s lots of inspiration available.
I cut a piece of thin copy paper and adhered the strips to it using liquid glue, then trimmed the panel down to be 4 1/8 inches square before adhering to my 4 5/8 inches white square card base.
To finish it off, I adhered these strips to my card with foam tape, for extra dimension and to draw the eye to these sentiment strips.

Hello! Leica here. Today I am sharing a box card featuring the Jungle Background and Woodgrain Circle Stencils from the upcoming June 18th release, along with the Jungle Additions stamp set.
These adorable animals are from the Jungle Additions stamp set. I stamped them onto 110lb cardstock, colored with Copic markers, and cut with their coordinating dies.
I used the following Copic markers:
Giraffe – E43/35/33/31
Snake – YG13/11/01
Hippo – C5/3/0
Leaves – YG23/21, G67/63
Flowers – RV25/23/21
For the box inserts, I used green cardstock and topped it with Stitched Leafy Borders in the same color.
The fun part is creating the scene. Some of the elements are adhered directly onto the inserts and some are foam mounted to add dimension to the scene.
Lastly, I stamped the “Be Brave” sentiment from the Simple Sayings: Brave stamp set onto a white rectangular cardstock and foam mounted on the front flap of the box card.
Thank you so much for visiting the blog today and I hope you are inspired.
Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at some of the new dies from the June 18th release!
For my first card, I’ve used two new die sets – Stitched Leafy Borders and Simple Strips. There is also a Stitched Strips set in this new release. These sets are so versatile!
I also die cut two Simple Strips in various widths from the same watercolour panel, then adhered these to my card base. I stamped a sentiment from the new Monkey Friends stamp set above the die cut strips.
I copic coloured images from Monkey Friends, using the coordinating dies to cut them out. I hooked the tail of the monkey around the Leafy Border, then adhered the border to my card with liquid adhesive. I used foam tape behind the monkey for dimension and added a banana for him to hold.
On my second card, I used the new Nature Essentials die. This fabulous die cuts a frame and different scene building elements and frame in one pass.
I die cut the Nature Essentials die twice from white card. I adhered one of the white frames to a card base, ink blended with distress oxides. I used more distress oxide inks to add colour to the grass and ground pieces, then layered these on my card base. I used foam tape for one of the grass pieces to add dimension.
Next, I used some light brown copic markers to add some colour to the trees. I also die cut some leaves to add to the scene from the shimmer powder background I used on my first card.
I stamped a sentiment and added some cute critters from the new Jungle Friends stamp set, coloured with copic markers, to complete my safari scene.
I have one more card to share today, this time showcasing the new Hi Shaker die. I love the hexagonal shape and the large sentiment.
I die cut the Hi Shaker from a white card panel to create a window opening. Before creating my shaker, I stamped a sentiment from the new Simple Sentiments stamp set along an angle of the die cut.
I adhered a piece of acetate behind the panel and added a layer of foam tape to create my shaker area. I added some of the beautiful new seed beads, then sealed the shaker with a piece of patterned paper, before adding the panel to a card base.
Next, I die cut the Hi Shaker twice more to get a total of 3 layers – two from white card and a top layer from white pearlescent card. I adhered these onto the acetate window.
To finish my card, I stamped and copic coloured a sweet tortoise from the new Jungle Additions stamp set, adding him to the card with foam tape.
I hope that you enjoyed these three cards and a look at the fun new dies. Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!
