Hello, Gemma here. It’s time for a new installment of Clean and Simple. For my CAS card today, I’m using the new Floral Corners stamp set. By using a die cut window, it’s easy to create a corner for the beautiful floral image to sit upon.
I stamped the Floral Corners image in grey ink, which gives a softer look to the image than regular black ink. I coloured the image with copic markers, using the following colours:
Leaves: YG01, YG03, YG17, G46
Pink flowers: RV00, RV10, RV52, RV34, RV66
Yellow flowers: Y13, Y15, Y38, YR27
Blue flowers: B91, B52, B34
I die cut the image with the coordinating die, layering two more die cuts behind for dimension.
To ground the floral corner on my card, I die cut a Stitched Diamond from a piece of white card. I allowed it to go off the edge of the panel for interest.
On my card base, I blended Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo distress oxides over the Pretty Petals stencil. This gives a soft pattern visible through the diamond window when the panel is adhered to the card.
I stamped a sentiment from Simple Sentiments over the stenciled area on the card, with some Pearl White jewels added around it for sparkle. I then adhered the Floral Corners image on the edge of the diamond window to finish.
My project features a custom birdhouse, a home just perfect for these sweet birds! To begin, I cut an A2 piece of white cardstock using the Pretty Petals Background Die, removed the interior pieces, and layered on top of an A2 piece of light pink cardstock.
First, I cut a piece of woodgrain paper using the Stitched Duo 3 Dies to create the base of the birdhouse. I then cut a white rectangle frame using theScallop Frames Dies, which will be cut apart to create a scalloped roof and base for the birdhouse.
I cut the frame in half, lengthwise, then placed it on the top of the tag (as shown in pic), trimming the length of the roof to look proportional. I then trimmed along the edges of the roof, cutting away the woodgrain paper. Using the leftover piece of the scalloped frame, I cut it to fit along the bottom of the birdhouse.
I white heat embossed the sentiment onto dark brown cardstock, then adhered it to the back to complete the birdhouse.
Lastly, I trimmed down the Simple Strip and adhered to the card, attached the birdhouse using foam tape for dimension, and arranged the stamped images onto my card to finish!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you were inspired by this tutorial!
Hi Friends! It is Dana here today and I am excited to be back to share a card that uses the new Spring Robins stamp set. This is such an adorable set, so fun to use and sure to bring a smile to the recipient’s face.
I started my card by stamping my images from the Spring Robins Set in a Copic friendly black ink and coloring them with my Copic markers. Next, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
For my card panel, I used the Storybook 5 Die. This is a must have die in my opinion and one that I reach for often. I ink blended a piece of cardstock with aqua ink and then attached it behind the opening in the panel to create my background.
Next, I stamped my sentiment from the Spring Robins Set directly onto my panel. I then added my images with a little liquid glue and foam adhesive. Lastly, I added a few highlights with a white gel pen to finish my card.
Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my card and you find a little time to be creative today too!
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.
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:
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!
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!
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!
Here is a video for these cards, so you can see how they all came together:
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 Buttercreamand Sea Glassbefore 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.
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.
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.
Hi friends! Leica here and today I have an Easter card using products from the March release.
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.
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.
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 Jewelsfor added interest.
This card was so fun and simple to create. I hope it inspires you to make Easter cards for your family and friends.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. :)
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.

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).
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.
