Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have a card using the Hummingbird Thanks stamp set along with the Tic Tac Toe die, Hello Friend die and also using some Mini Action Wobblers to make the hummingbirds move.

To begin my card today, I stamped out my hummingbirds from the Hummingbirds Thanks stamp set and coloured them in with Copic Markers. I used a Yellow, Green and Aqua colour scheme and coloured the hummingbirds accordingly. Once they were coloured, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I then took out my Mini Action Wobblers and cut off some of the excess plastic to make it fit behind my hummingbirds. Once I cut off the excess I went ahead and adhered them behind my hummingbird images. I then set them off to the side to work on the rest of my card.

Copic Markers used: BG11, BG23, BG49 / W00, W0, W3 / Y11, Y35, Y38 / YG21, YG23, YG17

Next up, I took the Tic Tac Toe die and cut it out of some white cardstock. I then adhered thin strips of foam tape onto the back and set it off to the side also. Next, I took a piece of watercolour cardstock and ink blended some Distress Inks over it. I used Peacock Feathers, then Twisted Citron and Mustard Seed on top to create a nice blend. I then flicked some water on the background to create a splattered look and dried it off with a heat tool. Then I used the We R Memory Keepers Geometric Embossing Folder to emboss my distress inked piece. Once that was run through my Big Shot Machine I went ahead and adhered my Tic Tac Toe die on top in the centre. Next up, I used the Hello Friend Script die cut, added some Stick It adhesive on the back of some white cardstock and cut the ‘Hello’ word out three times. Then, I adhered them all together and used some grey Copic Markers to add a little shading on the bottom of the word.

Next up, I went ahead and adhered my two hummingbirds on their action wobblers onto opposite corners of my card, then adhered the ‘Hello’ word in the centre of the card. Lastly, I adhered some Clear Droplets in both 4mm and 6mm around my card and adhered my panel onto a top folding card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you were inspired and I’ll catch you next time.

Jeanne here today for a last minute Valentine’s Day card. Love is in the air! I can’t resist the clean graphic look of a color block card.

This card starts with the bright block background. If you look close you’ll see a stitched pattern along two edges of each of the squares. I cut the four colorful card stock panels with the Stitched Notes die. I trimmed each of the panels to 2 x 2 5/8” before adhering them to the card base.  

I colored the LOVE stamp set images with Copic markers.  I used the coordinating die set to cut the stamped letters and another set from gold glitter card stock. The letters are slightly over laid so that the gold glitter paper peeks out. 

The letters are adhered with adhesive foam tape and little flowers (also included in the LOVE stamp set) are tucked underneath. 

I know I’ll be reaching for this set for all the heart felt occasions worth celebrating!

I hope that this card inspired you.

Hello friends, Eloise here today for another three cards, one stamp set. Today I’m using the Elephant Friends Stamp Set along with a few other dies and stencils to create these cards. I went quite simple this time around for cards, creating simple backgrounds with Distress Oxide Inks and then using dies to make them a little more interesting.  

To start off I stamped and coloured all the images I was using from the Elephant Friends Stamp Set. Once they were coloured, I cut them out. I arranged them into piles to make sure I had the right images for each card.

Copic Markers Used: W00, W0, W1, W3 / R000, R00, R30 / Y11, Y13, Y18, YR23 / W3, W5 / RV10, RV13, RV25, RV19 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / Y00, Y11, Y13, Y18

For my first card, I created a galaxy background. I used Distress Oxide Inks to complete this look. Once they were all blended, I flicked on some water and dried it off with a heat tool. I then hand cut white cardstock and vellum layers to look like clouds, adhered them together, popped them up on foam tape and adhered to my galaxy background.

Distress Oxide Inks Used: Fossilized Amber, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, Black Soot

I then added spots of a glitter pen on top of the white clouds and also gold heat embossed the sentiment ‘Big Hugs’ onto the background. I added foam tape onto the backs of one of my elephants and star balloons and adhered it to the sky as well. That finished up my first card, now let’s move onto the second.

For my second card, I created a gradient background with more Oxide Inks. I again splattered with water and dried it off with a heat tool. I cut a white scallop frame from the Scallop Frames Die Set. I added foam tape on the back of the frame and also the images.

Distress Oxide Inks Used: Seedless Preserves, Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, Scattered Straw

I then adhered the frame onto the background in the centre and adhered my images inside the frame. For the sentiment, I took the ‘You’re A Star’, cut it in half and white heat embossed the ‘You’re A’ part onto a thin black strip. I cut it down and stuck it behind the star, so the image finishes the sentiment. The second card is all complete, now onto the last card.

For my final card I used the new Wide Stripes Stencil and adhered it over the top of a square piece of cardstock. I ink blended different Oxide colours into each stripe and splattered it with water. I dried it off and took the Mini Storybook 1 Dies and cut it from white cardstock. I trimmed around the frame and added foam tape onto the backs as well as the images that were left.

Distress Oxide Inks Used: Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Scattered Straw

I then adhered the frame into the centre of the card as well as my images inside. I white heat embossed the remaining small ‘Big Hugs’ sentiment onto a thin black strip and adhered it on the top right-hand side.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you were inspired by these cards!

Hi friends! It’s Jeanne here today!  The thing I miss most in the winter months is gardening.  I love to spend time outdoors watching the birds and the bees. I’m always amazed at how a little seed becomes a plant, and absolutely thrilled when I see a hummingbird at the feeder.

Reminder: the Ladybug Friends stamp set is FREE with orders over $80 through January 31, 2020 (after any discounts, before taxes/ shipping). Orders over $100 will also receive the coordinating dies!

Ever since I was little the ladybug has been just magical to me. Of course they were on the “nice” list because they’re “ladies” after all, and I knew the ladies wouldn’t harm me.  I would sing the childhood rhyme and blow on them to send them home to their families, or count their spots to see who had the most.

My card starts with a lime green background panel layered with some Zig Zag Stacked Edges 1.  I wanted to give the base a variegated leaf feel – the perfect place for my garden friends. I topped the panel with the Tropical Frame from white card stock. 

The sweet little ladybugs are colored with Copic markers.  I adhered them with adhesive foam tape for more dimension. The finishing touch is just a few Shamrock jewels for some sparkle and shine. 

I think the Pretty Pink Posh Ladybug Friends stamp set is magical too.  The smiles on the ladybugs is contagious and always have me smiling too! 

I hope this card brought a smile to your face. Thanks for stopping by the Pretty Pink Posh blog today!

Hi, Friends!

This is Caly with you today!  I’m sharing a card made using the Love set along with the Large Floral Hearts set to spell the word love by replacing the “o” from the Love set with the “solid” heart from the Large Floral Hearts set.  This requires a longer slimline card to fit all the required letters and images. My total card size is 3.75” x 7”.  

I colored my images with Copic markers and made it cohesive by sharing the same colors across each letter and the heart.  It’s helpful that the illustrations are the same between the two stamp sets. After coloring, I die cut the letters and images and added a few white gel highlights to help my images pop.  The images are small so there wasn’t a whole lot to add. I set my images aside to work on a background.  

Copic colors used:  W0, W3, G12, G14, G43, G46, R22, R24, RV11, RV14, B000, B00, B02, V12, V15, BG11, BG13, Y06.

After figuring out the size of my card by laying out my elements, I cut down a blank panel and ink-blended across the center, leaving about an inch from the sides with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink.  Then I went over and around the first color with Cracked Pistachio. To give my panel extra interest, I splattered it with some dark teal paint as well as some white paint.

Using a T-ruler to help line up my images, I adhered them down using foam adhesive.  I glued my birds down directly on the card panel – focusing the dimension on the letters and floral heart only.  My sentiment is embossed over black card and adhered to the center of my card using more foam adhesive.

Thanks so much for joining me today!  Have a wonderful day!

Hello, crafty friends! Leica here and today I am sharing a slimline card using the Large Floral Hearts stamp set and the adorable mice from the Party Friends stamp set.

Save 15% off items in the Valentine section during our Valentine Theme Week!

My slimline card measures 3.5 x 8.5 inches. The base is a white rectangle cardstock stitched with a light green thread onto a pink scallop rectangle.

I stamped the heart floral stamp three times, colored with Copic markers, and cut using the coordinating dies. I used the following colors for the flowers and leaves – R20, R21, R22, R24, G40, and G21. Next, I stamped the mice from Party Friends and colored with the following – NO, N1, ROOO, and R20 for the blush and around the sign.

For the sentiments, I used “love you always” and “I love us” from the Large Floral Hearts stamps set, embossed with white ink onto a black cardstock. Then for the banner, I stamped “xoxo” from the Floral Hearts stamp set. I simply rotated the stamp upside down to spell “oxox.”

The last step is adhering everything and I used foam tape for the hearts, mice, and the sentiments for added dimension. 

I hope you enjoy the projects I created to share with you today and feel inspired to create. Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by!

Hi Everyone! It’s Melody here with you today for Day 6 of Valentine Theme Week! I have a Valentine card to share with you that was created with one of my daughters in mind. Even though my girls are not “kids” anymore, I still like to give them a card and a sweet treat for Valentine’s Day! I used a combination of both newly and previously released products to create my card. I love the way all the stamp sets and dies work together.

Let’s start with the background. I cut a piece of white cardstock for the card front and then used the Wide Stripes Stencil with a light aqua ink to create the subtle background pattern. Next I die cut the Love Shaker Die from a red cardstock and attached the heart to the front of the card. 

Around the heart I created this arrangement with the Love Stamp Set and the Love Coordinating Dies. The stamped images are colored with Copic Markers. I used foam squares to attach some the images. I like the dimension it adds. The sentiment is from the previously released Floral Hearts Stamp Set. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. 

At the bottom of the card I stamped one of the three borders in the Love Borders Stamp Set and added a sentiment from the Love Stamp Set. 

I finished off the card with a few Buttercream Jewels. I love adding just a little sparkle! 

Thanks for visiting! I hope we have given you some ideas for your Valentines! Stop back by tomorrow for more inspiration. 

Hello crafty friends, Sharna here with some Valentine inspiration for you. I love combining the old with the new and Paulina’s sets all work so well together. On today’s card I combined the original Floral Hearts stamp set with the new Large Floral Hearts stamp set.

I made the background first to establish a color combo to use on the rest of the design. I started with the lightest color of distress oxide ink in Spun Sugar, the next was Picked Raspberries and lastly I used Wilted Violet to darken the bottom edge. I then splattered the panel with white paint and dried. 

I stamped and die cut the open heart design from both the old and new set & picked a sentiment for both I thought worked well together. After making sure the panel was dry I stamped and white heat embossed the sentiments inside each heart. I selected several different shades of copics in pinks and purples to match with the background and a single shade of light green for the foliage. I did not do any shading just simple coloring. With such small images shading is not necessary. 

Lastly to finish off the card I picked a selection of Pretty Pink Posh sequins also in pinks and purples. The purple is Lavender Moon and the pinks come from the Friendship Mix.

I really hope this helped inspire you for your Valentine’s projects! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Friends! It is Dana here today and I am so excited to be sharing some inspiration for Valentine Theme Week. I love creating for Valentine’s Day and Pretty Pink Posh makes some of my favorite products. All the products in the Valentine Section are 15% off this week so it is the perfect time to buy a few new supplies! 

I have two cards to share with you all, I mixed one of my favorite stamp sets from last year along with a favorite from the latest release. I love how these two sets work so well together. Let’s get started, shall we?

I started my first card by stamping the Large Floral Heart wreath in VersaFine Clair black ink and heat setting it with clear embossing powder. I then used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens to watercolor the flowers. (No. 025 PInk, No. 022 Carmine Red, No. 070 Orange and No. 047 May Green) Next, I used the Large Floral Hearts Coordinating Dies to die cut the wreath. 

For my card design, I used the Scallop Border Die Set to die cut my decorative edge. I added this to a piece of orange patterned paper and attached it to my A2 card base. Next, I stamped my sentiment from the Large Floral Hearts Stamp Set onto a banner and added this to my card front along with my die cut wreath. Lastly, I added a few sequins from the Flamingo Pink Jewels Mix to my card front. 

My next card follows the same format as above, though this time I used the Floral Hearts Stamp Set. I stamped the wreath twice, watercolored the wreaths and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. 

For this card layout, I used the straight Scallop Border Die. I die cut it from raspberry cardstock and attached it to my white card panel before attaching everything to my grass green patterned paper. I once again stamped my sentiment onto a banner and added a few jewels from the Flamingo Pink Jewel Mix to finish my card. 

Thanks for joining me today! Join us again tomorrow as we have another day of Valentine inspiration!
