Clean and Simple: Spring Corner Frame

Pretty Pink Posh- Clean and Simple: Spring Corner Frame

Hello, Gemma here with a new post for my Clean and Simple series.

My card today features the pretty Spring Corner Frame die. I love cover dies as they are so versatile. They work with lots of different colouring mediums and you can create beautiful CAS cards quickly and easily.

Pretty Pink Posh- Clean and Simple: Spring Corner Frame

I die cut the Spring Corner Frame die three times from white card. I had added some double sided adhesive sheet behind the white card pieces before die cutting, as this makes it really easy to adhere the layers together.

I adhered one layer of the die to an A2 panel of white card. You could adhere it directly to a white card base, but as I am colouring with copic markers, I didn’t want the colouring to show through to the inside of the card.

Using copic markers, I added colour to the open areas of the die cut. It doesn’t matter if you colour on the die cut accidentally, as it’ll be covered up with more die cuts later. Just try not to colour outside of the die cut.
I used the following copic colours:

  • Flower petals: V000, BV00, BV02
  • Flower centres: Y11, Y13, Y15, YR23
  • Leaves: G40, G12, YG05 (lighter leaves), YG05, G07, G28 (darker leaves)

Next, I adhered the second layer, which hides any messy colouring, giving a beautiful clean look. I added this panel to a white card base.

In the centre of the flowers, I added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze. Over the glaze, I sprinkled some glitter so the flower centres would have a sparkly look. I then left the panel to dry.

Once dry, I adhered the final layer of the die cut. This is optional but I like the extra dimension it gives. To finish, I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Friends stamp set and added some Pearl White jewels.

The Spring Corner Frame die is a beautiful cover die to have in your collection. I think it’s perfect for so many occasions. If you love to paper piece, you could use coloured card stock or even patterned paper for the flowers and leaves. So many possibilities!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you were inspired!

Design Team Addition!

Hello everyone! My name is Ashley, and I am ecstatic to be joining the Pretty Pink Posh Design Team! I have been in love with Paulina’s products for ages and am so honored to be sharing what I create with all of you!

For my first post, I decided to combine some lovely PPP florals with cute little bunnies for a happy hello card! The Easter Bunnies set has the cutest sentiment included to easily make the set versatile all year long.

I started by using the Leaves Stencil on white cardstock with some Lawn Fawn Merman ink. I softly blended the ink with a brush, adding more color to edges and keeping it light towards the center since I knew I wanted a sentiment to go there. I trimmed the stenciled panel down and added it to a matching Lawn Fawn Mermaid cardstock base.

I stamped several flowers from Floral Corners and the bunnies from Easter Bunnies in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink onto white cardstock. I colored everything using some spring colors and added a few highlights with white gel pen before cutting everything out with the matching dies. I added the images to the card, popping a few up with foam tape for dimension.

For my sentiment, I stamped part of the “hopping” sentiment from Easter Bunnies in VersaFine Onyx Black ink. You can either mask off the word “hi” or cut your stamp apart. I used the Hi Shaker die three times on Lawn Fawn Mermaid cardstock to match my cardbase and cut the “hi” out of the center. I layered the die cuts together with some liquid glue for a dimensional word and added it to the card. I finished with a sprinkling of Sea Glass jewels for a bit of sparkle.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I look forward to sharing many Pretty Pink Posh projects with you all! Have a wonderful day!

Creating 3 Cards with 1 Stencil Set: Scallop Edges

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather Hoffman here today with a look at the new Scallop Edges Stencil – this is a two piece stencil, and I’ve created a video showing how to use each piece on it’s own, as well as a way to combine them together. The possibilities with this stencil are endless when you add in that there are 4 different sizes to the scallops, and I only used the largest size to create my cards!

Pretty Pink Posh- Creating 3 Cards with 1 Stencil Set: Scallop Edges

Here is a video for these cards, so you can see how they all came together:

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

For this first card, I used the stencil that has the scallop facing outwards. I also alternated where I placed the scallop to get this fun background pattern! I used Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Tumbled Glass, and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks to create the background.

I finished this card off with the adorable Hedgehog Birthday stamp set (not released yet), and a few sparkly jewels in Buttercream and Sea Glass before mounting on a coordinating blue cardbase.

This second design uses the stencil where the scallops face inwards. For this one I used it to create a border along the bottom, and this time I did not alternate the stencil, so it gave a more uniform pattern. I used Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Cracked Pistachio, and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide inks for this one.

Pretty Pink Posh- Creating 3 Cards with 1 Stencil Set: Scallop Edges

I created a scene on this card using Easter Bunnies stamp set – the bunny was stamped and cut out with the coordinating dies, and I stamped the sentiment and the flowers directly on the card panel. A liberal does of Pearl White jewels add a bit of fun sparkle, and I mounted that panel on a soft yellow cardbase.

Pretty Pink Posh- Creating 3 Cards with 1 Stencil Set: Scallop Edges

Finally, the last card used both portions of the stencil to create this fun graphic design. I used Post It Tape to hold the stencils pieces together to ensure a uniform stripe design, and stenciled this one with Dried Marigold, Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral, and Tumbled Glass.

Pretty Pink Posh- Creating 3 Cards with 1 Stencil Set: Scallop Edges

I used Tulips stamp set to add a floral image, and Spring Robins for that cute sentiment. A few coordinating jewels in Cornflower, Raspberry, Pink Blush, Marigold, and Pearl White grouped around their ink colors add a touch of interest and whimsy before mounting on a soft pink cardbase.

So there you are – 3 different and fun ways to use these versatile stencils! I hope they inspired you to give them a try!

Cheerful Spring Flowers

Hi friends! Leica here and today I have an Easter card using products from the March release. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Cheerful Spring Flowers

Let’s get started! First, I cut a blush colored cardstock down to 4.25 x 5.5 inches. Using the new Spring Flowers stencil, I inked with Picked Raspberry, Mowed Lawn, and Mustard Seed distress oxides. I then ran the panel through the die cut machine using Stitched Notes die and glued down the outer frame to a card base. The middle piece was foam mounted for added interest and dimension. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Cheerful Spring Flowers

Next, I die cut vellum using Decorative Tag 2 to mute the background so that the sentiment would stand out against the floral background. For the sentiment, I die cut the Fancy Easter Script three times and stacked them up for dimension. I adhered the sentiment to the vellum and glued the vellum down to the card panel. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Cheerful Spring Flowers

I love butterflies and the Mom stamp set has super cute butterflies that I just had to add to my card. I colored them with Copic markers in V15/12/000. Lastly, I added Sparkling Clear Jewels for added interest. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Cheerful Spring Flowers

This card was so fun and simple to create. I hope it inspires you to make Easter cards for your family and friends.

Slimline Easter Bunnies

Hello everyone! Mayra here with you today. I am so happy to be here. I am sharing a fun shaker card using the adorable new Easter Bunnies stamp set

Pretty Pink Posh: Slimline Easter Bunnies

I started by coloring the images I would be using. I also used the small stem of leaves from the Mom stamp set.  The color palette was inspired by the awesome Party Pop Clay Confetti mix. I love the bright colors in this set. Next, I used the grass border from the Nature Essentials die, the larger stitched rectangle from the Slimline Peekaboo dies set, the larger of the scalloped frames from the Slimline: Scallop Frames die set, the speech bubble from the Stitched Speech Bubbles set, and the Stitched Gift Holders set. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Slimline Easter Bunnies

I used Distress Oxide inks to add color to the sky areas and the grass. I also used the coordinating dies from the Party Days stamp set to create the scalloped square scenes for the bunnies.

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I pray you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Easter Theme Week- Day 7

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 7

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today.  Hasn’t it been a fabulous week full of Easter goodness?  Theme weeks at Pretty Pink Posh always get me excited for the upcoming holidays, and I’m extra excited this week because I adore spring and I adore Easter. It’s a season of hope and brightness and things made new, and I wanted to capture that in my card. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 7

Snow drops and daffodils are some of the first flowers to emerge in my yard each spring, and they inspired the colors on my card.  This card has quite a few layers, so I’ll start with the card base.  I took just the stem/leaves stencil from the Spring Flowers Stencils, flipped it sideways, and blended green ink.  I love the fresh feel this adds to the card and how just a little turn of the stencil gives you a totally different look.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 7

Next, I took the Spring Eggs Die and traced a repeated pattern on a piece of cardstock lightly in pencil.  I used that as my guide to cut out all the eggs.  Using the panel of negative images here is a subtle nod to the empty tomb, but by popping it up with foam tape, it also adds some great dimension to the card.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 7

The next layer was created by embossing two of the images in the beautiful Floral Corners stamp set with white embossing powder on vellum.  Then, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 7

The final layer was created by cutting the Fancy Easter Script Dies in bright yellow, gluing them onto a white panel and trimming around the entire sentiment. I popped that up on top of all the other layers, and voila!  Card done. :)

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 7

I often snap a photo of my cards on top of all the supplies I’ve used to create them, so I can remember later on, and I thought it might be fun to share that.  Looking at this photo makes me smile lots because I truly LOVE each and every product I used.

If you haven’t picked them up yet (or any other favorites you may have seen this week), I highly recommend you doing that today while everything in the Easter Section is 15% off.

Thanks so much for joining me today!

Easter Theme Week- Day 6

Hi friends! It’s Jane here sharing some inspiration for Easter theme week! Be sure to shop the Easter section for 15% off items in this category all week!

Today, I’ve created a bunch of colorful egg shaped Easter cards using Pretty Pink Posh products!

To create these cards, you’ll need various colored cardstock (scraps work well too!) and a few Pretty Pink Posh dies! The egg shape was created using the Scallop Ovals die set which was cut from white cardstock. For the inner pieces, I used the Stacked Edges 1 die set in the zig-zag pattern and scallop pattern.  

Moving from left to right I’ll mention all the various scraps of cardstock I used to create these colorful eggs.

Card on the far left moving top to bottom: fuchsia (Stamp Market), hibiscus burst (Papertrey Ink), coral reef (Stamp Market), fake tan, apricot and sticky note (all Lawn Fawn).

Next card (2nd over from left) moving top to bottom: coral reef (Stamp Market), apricot, sticky note (Lawn Fawn), icy mint (Bazzill), mermaid and moonstone (Lawn Fawn).

Middle card (top to bottom): sticky note, fake tan (Lawn Fawn), berry sorbet (Papertrey Ink), fuchsia Stamp Market), mermaid (Lawn Fawn), juicy pear (Bazzill).

Next card from top to bottom: icy mint (Bazzill), mermaid, moonstone (Lawn Fawn), candy necklace, easter grass, juicy pear (all Bazzill)

Last card (farthest on the right) from top to bottom: sticky note, fake tan (Lawn Fawn), cotton candy (Stamp Market), berry sorbet (Papertrey Ink), raspberry and fuchsia (Stamp Market).

After all the pieces were cut, I adhered them to a piece of light weight cardstock (printer paper also works) in various color combinations. Then, I adhered the white frame to the top of the patterns and cut the edges using scissors.  This creates the front of the card.  

Next, I used the same scallop oval die to cut a folded piece of cardstock leaving the top edge off my cutting plate. The pressure from the die cutting machine will cut the frame out of the top portion of the card but will leave an indentation on the inner portion. To remedy this, I just added another die cut white frame to the inside.  I also added a piece of white cardstock (cut with scissors) to the back of the front flap of the card.  You can see the image below.  Don’t worry about the front of the card, the colorful frame will cover it up when you adhere it to the front of the card.  

To create the bunnies, I used the new Easter Bunnies stamp set to stamp the images in copic friendly black ink and colored them using copic markers. I also stamped and colored the easter baskets and eggs to add inside my cards. The sentiment “happy easter” is also from the new Easter Bunnies stamp set and I stamped it on the inside of each egg shaped card using black ink.  

White gel pen was used to highlight the images and the images were cut using the coordinating dies and adhered using liquid glue.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed this fun Easter project using Pretty Pink Posh products!  Be sure to stop by the store and save 15% off all Easter section products this week!

Easter Theme Week- Day 5

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 5

Hello Everyone! This is Melody on the blog today. Thank you for joining me for Day 5 of the Pretty Pink Posh Easter Theme Week. I love the new Easter Basket Dies.  The basket has great stitching details and is so fun to fill! I have two cards to share with you, one with a basket of Easter eggs and one with a basket of flowers. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 5

My first basket is filled with pretty easter eggs created with the Spring Eggs stamp set and Spring Eggs Coordinating Dies. My eggs are colored with Copic Markers.  I tucked eggs under the rim of the basket with the grass behind the eggs. The sentiment and flower accent is from the new Easter Bunnies stamp set and stamped on a tag die cut with the Mini Tags Dies.

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 5

I stenciled the background with the new Pretty Petals Stencil. At the bottom I added two strips of grass with the Nature Essentials Dies

I finished off the card with a frame also cut with the Nature Essentials Dies

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 5

On my second card I filled the basket with flowers. The flower stamp and additional flowers that accent the basket are part of the Floral Corners stamp set, one of favorites from the new release! 

Here’s a closer look at the basket and the great stitched details. At the top I tied a bow with a gingham ribbon. The background is stenciled with the new Butterfly Background Stencil on white cardstock with a lavender ink. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 5

At the bottom I added a sentiment from the previously released Easter Blessings stamp set. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. 

Thanks for joining me today! I hope I have given you ideas on ways to fill your easter basket!

Easter Theme Week- Day 4

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 4

Welcome to Easter Theme Week! It’s Jeanne and I hope you’re loving the designs from the team! There are so many great Pretty Pink Posh products to choose from that the hardest part is always deciding what to play with!  

** All items in the Easter Section are 15% off during theme week! **

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 4

My favorite cards to make usually feature a scene. Whenever I receive a new stamp set I always stamp, color and cut each image 8-10 times.  Accent images that I know I will use A LOT of – like the flowers in this set I stamp even more times.  I switch up the colors so I have lots to choose from. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 4

This card starts with a Distress Oxide inked background in Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron. I added Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn along the edges to create some depth before splatting the panel with water and white ink. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 4

Now for the fun part.. making a scene!  I arrange the images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base – this allows me to move things around before I commit and adhere the images in place. I can also lift the entire piece and lay it on top of different color inky backgrounds to help me choose the perfect one. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 4

I stamped a sentiment directly on the inked panel, and added a Spooky Fence cut from white card stock  to help define the grass from the sky.    Finally I adhered the Easter Bunnies stamp set images. Some are adhered flat to the card base while others are adhered with adhesive foam tape.  This adds more dimension. The little butterflies are from the Mom stamp set

Pretty Pink Posh: Easter Theme Week- Day 4

I hope you’ll stop by tomorrow when we’ll be sharing more projects made with Easter themed products from the shop.
