Hello, crafty friends! Arsenia here, and I’m so excited to share sneak peeks for the Fall/September Release! Friends, this release is absolutely chock-full of fall goodness! We have turkeys, scarecrows, leaves, acorns, a sweet little mouse, and SO much more! For today’s sneak peeks, I’m sharing the Wide Leaf Shaker Dies, Fall Word Shaker Dies, and Fall Bucket Additions Dies. I’m switching things up a bit because, although these are shaker dies, I didn’t actually make any shakers! Instead, I turned them into some pretty fall cards. I have five cards plus a bonus card to share with you, so let’s get this fall party started! 

For my first card, I used the Fall Word Shaker Dies. I started by creating a pretty berry-toned background with the new Layered Windowpane Plaid Stencil on light berry cardstock. I used that panel to die cut the Fall Word, then layered it up with the solid piece in a darker berry cardstock and even added a little glitter cardstock for some extra sparkle! For the background, I pulled out an oldie-but-oh-so-goodie favorite, the Layered Fall Wreath Stencil, and die cut the panel using the largest Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies. I adhered everything to a dark berry card base, added my Fall Word, and finished it off with a Happy sentiment from the Happy Birthday Shadow Dies, the sweetest little acorn from the new Fall Holder Additions Dies, and a whimsical burlap bow. Ta-da! Card number one is complete, and I absolutely love how it turned out!

For my second card, I reached for the new Wide Leaf Shaker Die and had a little fun changing things up! For card number two, I created my background using the new Wheat Pattern Stencil and die cut the panel with the largest Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies. I die cut the leaf and gave it a pretty ombré ink-blending treatment before offsetting it with a darker die-cut layer from the Wide Leaf Shaker Die. Instead of filling it with shaker bits, I added little hearts for a faux-shaker look! My sentiment is from the new Happy Fall Stamp Set with coordinating dies, and friends, this set is a MUST-HAVE! I think I used it on the majority of my cards for this release. To finish things off, I added acorns and leaves from the Fall Holder Additions Dies, lots of golden splatters, and, of course, a sweet burlap bow. 

For my third card, I die cut the leaf twice using two different shades of berry cardstock and added some ink blending to each die-cut piece for a little extra depth. For my background, I used the Layered Fall Wreath Stencil Set and once again added those fun little hearts for a faux-shaker effect. The sweetest sentiment from the new Happy Fall Stamp Set with coordinating dies brings everything together perfectly. I added plenty of shimmer and golden splatters because, in my crafty world, there’s almost always room for more sparkle! This time, I finished the card with a pretty gold bow, and I think this one might be one of my favorites! 

For my fourth and fifth cards, I pulled out the new Fall Bucket Additions Dies and paired them with my much-beloved original Candy Bucket Die. I absolutely adore that Paulina continues to create additions for the original die sets—it makes them feel brand new all over again and means we never have to stop using our favorites!  For both backgrounds, I used the new Gingham Stencil, adding a little partial stenciling, ink smooshing, and LOTS of splatters to create those perfectly imperfect fall backgrounds. For the scarecrow card, I added additional elements from the Fall Mug Additions Dies, a few hearts, and, of course, a sentiment from the new Happy Fall Stamp Set.

For the turkey card, I used the new Gingham Stencil on the bucket, added sweet little hearts and elements from the new Fall Holder Additions Dies, and finished it with the Blessings sentiment from—you guessed it—the new Happy Fall Stamp Set! I absolutely adore these cards, and the Candy Bucket Additions are definitely some of my favorite products to create with! 

And now for my bonus card! I couldn’t resist making a second scarecrow card with the new Fall Bucket Additions Dies, but this time I left the original Candy Bucket Die on the shelf. Instead, I used the new Pinking Circles Dies as my base, and oh my goodness, these circles look SO cute layered onto the Pinking Rectangle Dies! I added a cozy little scarf from the Fall Mug Additions Dies to keep my scarecrow nice and toasty for those crisp autumn days.  The leaves are a mix of the new Stitched Leaves Dies and the new Fall Holder Additions Dies, while the background features the Layered Foliage Stencil with some partial stenciling for a soft, whimsical look. For my sentiment, I used the new Upright Greetings: Fall Stamp Set, and voilà… the cutest little scarecrow ever! 

Friends, I hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peeks as much as I enjoyed creating these fall goodies! Don’t forget to scroll through because the design team has created some absolutely phenomenal makes to inspire you! There is SO much crafty goodness coming your way with this release, and I can’t wait for you to see it all.

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little crafty time with me today. I hope you have a beautiful day filled with a little creativity, a lot of happiness, and maybe even a sprinkle or two of crafty fun! 

Welcome as we kick off the first day of our September 14th release. From charming scarecrows and shaker dies to leaves and turkeys, there’s so much to love in this new collection! Today we’ll be taking a look at the Acorn Shaker, Mouse Holder, Fall Holder Additions, and Stitched Leaves die sets.

Hello crafty friends, Christina here! I’m so excited to share the first sneak peeks at the cutest, coziest fall collection full of sunflowers, scarecrows, warm plaids, and autumn leaves. Today we are introducing some of the new die sets, including the re-release of the Acorn Shaker Die that has been redesigned so you can choose to use it as a shaker or as a regular die cut. It’s always good to have options! To showcase the new die sets we’re introducing today, as well as some of the new stencils, I’m sharing a trio of cozy cards with you for a bounty of fall inspiration. Let’s get started!

My first card features the Acorn Shaker Dies and two new stencils. Using the dies, I created a shaker element for my card and filled it with the new Blush Harvest Shaker Beads. I used the beads as my color inspiration for this card, so I started with a dusty rose cardstock panel trimmed to 4.25 x 5.5 inches and created a warm plaid pattern with the Windowpane Plaid stencil and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. I added some distressing to the panel by spattering it with white splatter medium. Then I layered this panel with an ivory Pinking Rectangle off center and at a slight angle to the plaid panel for a whimsical look. In the center of the Pinking Rectangle, I added another stenciled panel that I trimmed down to fit inside the stitching detail. For this smaller stenciled panel, I used the new Wheat Pattern on kraft cardstock with Gathered Twigs ink and die-cut it with the Argyle Pierced Plate before attaching it to the Pinking Rectangle. 

For the shaker element, I die-cut the acorn frame piece several times from the dusty rose cardstock and secured the layers with a liquid adhesive. I sandwiched a piece of acetate between the top two layers for the window, added the shaker beads, and finished with the backer piece. I chose a coordinating patterned paper to finish the backer piece and the top frame piece and topped the acorn with a chocolate brown cap. I attached the acorn to the stenciled and layered background panels and tied a piece of ivory twine around the stem. I embellished the acorn with a couple of  Stitched Leaves, which I added shading to, and two Upright Greetings: Fall sentiments heat-embossed with ivory embossing powder. I finished up by adding a larger sentiment from the Happy Fall stamp set, also heat-embossed with ivory embossing powder and then die-cut with the coordinating die. A few tiny oak leaves were the finishing touch. 

My next card features the latest addition to the Holder collection, the Mouse Holder, which I paired with the new Fall Holder Additions. I die-cut the mouse from kraft cardstock and added shading to the pieces before assembling them. I used ivory and black cardstock for the mouse details and Onyx Pearls for the eyes. I created another stenciled and layered background for this card using two new stencils, Gingham and Wheat Pattern, and used the largest Pinking Rectangle again too, die-cut from ivory cardstock. I stenciled the wheat pattern on an A2 ivory cardstock panel with honey yellow ink and distressed the panel with Gathered Twigs ink and splattered it with Fallen Acorn Mica Stain.

I stenciled the gingham pattern on light blue cardstock with gray ink and blended more gray ink around the edges of the panel for some distressing. I layered and secured the panels with liquid adhesive and attached the mouse in the center with foam squares. Then I die-cut and assembled a field of sunflowers to tuck around the mouse and added a stamped sentiment from the Happy Fall stamp set die-cut with the coordinating die. For embellishment, I added a few Matte Gold Confetti pieces.

My last card features a colorful bunch of Stitched Leaves on an ivory Pinking Circle that I stenciled using the Wheat Stencil and honey yellow ink. I added shading to the leaves and arranged them with an acorn from the Fall Holder Additions and finished with a tiny twine bow.

For the background panel, I started with a dark green cardstock panel trimmed to 4.25 x 5.5 inches and stenciled it with the Layered Windowpane Plaid and Forest Moss Distress Ink. I added distressing to the panel with ink blended around the edges and then spattered with a white splatter medium. I centered the Pinking Circle on the background panel, and for the ivory heat-embossed sentiment, I combined the word “Fall” with a sentiment strip, both from the Happy Fall stamp set. I finished this card with a few Matte Gold Confetti pieces.

Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda here with you today! I’m super excited to be sharing sneak peeks of the new August release! This release is packed with lots of Halloween and fall goodness!! I’m sharing sneak peeks of the Decorative Pumpkin Die, Pumpkin Face Shaker Dies and the Boo Word Shaker Die Set! You’ll also see a peek of a few other sets that are making their debut, as well!

My first card features the Decorative Pumpkin Die, a sentiment from the Boo Greetings Stamps & Dies and the previously released Spider Web Cover Plate Die!

I started by die-cutting the Spider Web Cover Plate from white cardstock and layering over a panel of purple cardstock.

Next, I die-cut the Decorative Pumpkin Die from orange, yellow, green and purple cardstock. The outline in the set was cut from white cardstock. I adhered the orange die-cut layer to the white background and inlaid the other colors into the openings. I added the black dots to the ghost’s eyes, then adhered the pumpkin to the bottom of the panel with liquid glue. 

The sentiment, from the Boo Greetings Stamp Set, was stamped onto white cardstock with purple dye ink. It was cut out with the Coordinating Die and popped up with foam squares. I adhered the black and orange spiders together, slightly offset, then popped those up with foam squares, as well.

My second card features the Pumpkin Face Shaker Die Set, Halloween Banner Greetings, Banner Greetings 4 and the Clouds Stencil!

I began by stenciling the Clouds Stencil onto a panel of white cardstock with Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin and Wilted Violet Distress Inks. I blended Mowed Lawn Distress Ink along the bottom of the panel, then die-cut it with the largest die in the Pinking Rectangles Die Set. It was splattered with diluted black dye ink, and once the ink was dry, adhered to panels of black and orange cardstock.

I created the shaker element with the Pumpkin Face Shaker Die Set. I taped the two pumpkin dies together and die-cut it once from orange cardstock and several times from heavyweight white cardstock. The solid layer was cut from orange cardstock and acetate, then stem and leaves from green cardstock and the face from black cardstock. I used Rusty Hinge and Rustic Wilderness Distress Inks to add shading to the die-cuts, then adhered all the pieces together, adding Candy Corn Carnival Mix and Halloween Fun Shaker Beads for the shaker bits. It was adhered to the background with liquid glue.

The sentiment, from the Halloween Banner Greetings Stamp Set, was white heat embossed onto black cardstock and cut out with a die in the Banner Greetings 4 Die Set, along with another layer from orange cardstock. The stick for the “flag” was cut from black cardstock using a die in the Summer Drink Shaker Die Set. It was adhered with liquid glue and the flag layers were adhered slightly offset, then it was popped up with foam squares.

My third and final card features the Boo Word Die Set, Mini Ghosts Stamps & Coordinating Dies, Halloween Silhouettes Background Stencil, Halloween Banner Greetings Stamps and Banner Greetings 4 Die Set!

I started by stenciling the Halloween Silhouettes Background Stencil onto a panel of white cardstock with Twisted Citron and Wilted Violet Distress Inks. It was die-cut with the largest die in the Stitched Torn Rectangles Die Set. The largest die in the Boo Word Die Set was cut from the background (be sure to hang onto the middle pieces of the letters). A piece of acetate was adhered behind the opening and I doubled up foam tape and filled the shaker with Boo Crew Mix and Potion Pop Shaker Beads before adhering a piece of orange cardstock to the back. It was then adhered to A2 panel of black cardstock.

The Boo Word Shaker Dies were taped together and cut from black cardstock to create the outline, then it was adhered to the opening over the acetate. The images from the Mini Ghosts Stamp Set were stamped with Copic-friendly black ink, colored with Copic markers and cut out with the Coordinating Dies. The sentiment, from the Halloween Banner Greetings Stamp Set, was white heat embossed onto black cardstock and cut out with a die from the Banner Greetings 4 Die Set! The ghosts and banner were adhered with liquid glue and this card was finished.

Here is more inspiration from the rest of the team…

Hi Everyone! It’s Melissa here with you today. I have got some tricks and treats for you! We are diving right into Halloween and there is so much to enjoy and have fun with.

I used the darling Halloween Mugs dies to create a gift tag for my bag of Halloween sweets. I layered up the new Stitched Arches dies to create a base for my Halloween Mug. The Stitched Arches dies are a delight to cut from patterned paper or add stenciling to. They come in six different sizes that nestle perfectly together.

I chose to use the adorable ghost mug for this tag, selecting googly eyes to add extra personality.  I added a topping of ice cream or whipped cream to the top of my mug and then added tiny candy corns and spiders to add extra detail.  My sentiment was stamped on a Banner Greetings 4 die and uses the new Halloween Banner Greetings stamp set.  

All that was left was to add my caramel apple candies to a glassine bag and add a fun, junk bow to the top.  Such a cute package of Halloween charm!

My next card uses the cutest Halloween dies ever! They are called the Halloween Caramel Apple dies and they are overflowing with possibilities and creative ideas.  

Once again, I used the new Stitched Arches dies to frame in my pumpkin caramel apple. I used the tiny pumpkin face dies to add personality to my apple. You can also create ghosts, spider webs, complete with plump spiders, and any combination of sprinkles and candies you can think of for Halloween.

My sentiment comes from the new Boo Greetings stamps and coordinating dies. The tiny bats flying around my greeting are also from this same set.  

Make sure to scroll to see all the amazing makes from the design team!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope these projects inspire your upcoming Halloween projects. Stop by tomorrow for more sneak peeks!

Hey, Sunshine! Melissa here with you today and I’m lucky enough to be sharing a couple of cards created with the new Pretty Pink Posh June Release stamps and stencils.  Let’s jump right in and make a splash!

My first card uses the new Layered Hibiscus stencils to create my background, using bright and playful colors to set the tone of the card. These sweet tropical flowers make me smile and will be sure to brighten your day!  After creating my background, I used the new Sunburst Pierced Plate to bring in the texture and accentuate the theme of my card.

I then cut white cardstock using the Sun Shaker die and added yellows and a bit of rusty orange to create an ink-blended sunshine.  I added this to the center of my card using foam adhesive to allow it to pop off the background.

Next, I die cut and stamped my flowers using images from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set with coordinating dies. I colored them using my Copic Markers and added then beneath my sunshine, once again using foam adhesive. To finish, I die cut and stamped my cheerful sentiment using the Happy Summer stamp set and coordinating dies.  What a happy card to create!

I had such fun creating my second card for you. I began by using the new and oh, so adorable, Layered Summer Fun stencils. Sunglasses, flip flops, sunshine and more, create the cutest background for your summertime cards.

I then used vellum, white cardstock, and the Eyelet Circles dies to create a layered base for my focal points. I used the Summer Sips stamp set and coordinating dies to bring in some fresh, summer drinks, sunshine, and hibiscus.  I used a fun technique on my stamped images by adding color through ink blending.  I added just a touch of shading using my Copic Markers.  

After I adhered my stamped images, I used the new Summer Banner Greetings stamp set and the Banner Greetings 2 dies to create my sentiment. Adhering it on a diagonal was a fun and unexpected twist that balances out my card.  

Ready to see some wonderful samples from the team using these products? It’s so fun to see how we can use the same products in such a variety of ways!

It’s been such a treat to create for you today.  Happy crafting with these new supplies…you’ll love every minute. Join us tomorrow as we reveal all the new products!

It’s Day 3 of sneak peeks for the June 15th release and today we’ll be taking a look at four of the new standalone die sets: Fun in the Sun Shadow, Sun Shaker, Summer Bucket Additions, and Sunburst Pierced Plate.

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today and I am thrilled to show you a little sneak peek of the upcoming June Release. This awesome release is packed with everything happy and fun about summer. I had so much fun with this release and have three cards to share with you today showcasing the soon-to-be-released Fun in the Sun Shadow Dies, Sun Shaker Dies, Summer Bucket Additions Dies and the Sunburst Pierced Plate. So let’s get started.

Fun in the Sun! My first card features the Sun Shaker Dies, Fun in the Sun Shadow Dies and the Sunburst Pierced Plate with the help of the Summer Bucket Additions Dies and Summer Holder Additions Dies. 

I started with Sunburst Pierced Plate to create a subtle texture on my white cardstock background. I trimmed the edge off and matted the panel with a piece of teal cardstock. 

Next, I diecut with the Sun Shaker Dies for the adorable sun, the Summer Holder Additions Dies for the little sunglasses, the Summer Bucket Additions Dies for the popsicles and colored cardstock. I assembled the pieces and highlighted with a white gel pen. The sun and popsicles were adhered to the panel. Some were popped up with foam tape for a bit of interest. 

I used the Fun in the Sun Shadow Dies to diecut the sentiment out of teal and white carsdstock. I love this fun combo of the two fonts. This beautiful die can easily hold its own and be the center of attention on an A2 card. I adhered to sentiment and shadow to each other with liquid glue and then to the card front with foam tape. I finished the card with a few Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix. 

Hello Summer! My second card features the Summer Bucket Additions Dies and the Sunburst Pierced Plate with the help of the Summer Cocktails Dies, Summer Holder Additions Dies, the Happy Summer Stamp & Dies and the previously released Candy Bucket Dies. Isn’t that flamingo just the cutest? And don’t these yummy fruit popsicles just scream summer?! 

Once again, I created a subtle background with the Sunburst Pierced Plate. I am a huge fan of clean and simple card designs and white space. I love how this plate adds just a little subtle interest while preserving that pure white space for me. This time I matted the panel with a piece of pink cardstock.

I used the Summer Bucket Additions Dies, Summer Holder Additions Dies and the previously released Candy Bucket Dies to diecut the flamingo, popsicle sticks, sunglasses and bucket out of colored cardstock. The Summer Bucket Additions Dies and Summer Cocktails Dies were used to diecut the popsicles and fruits out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I did some simple coloring of the popsicles and fruits with Copic markers and added seeds with a black Pigma Micron pen. I assembled the diecuts and highlighted with a white gel pen. The popsicles and bucket were adhered to the card front with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape,

COPIC COLORS (popsicles):
Kiwi: YG00/01, YG01/03 (fruits)
Watermelon: R22/24, YG25
Strawberry: R20, R22/24,YG25 (fruits)

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Hello” and “Summer” sentiments from the Happy Summer stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and white heat embossed before using the coordinating Happy Summer coordinating dies and Sentiment Strips Dies to diecut them out. I adhered the sentiment to the card front with foam tape and finished the card with some Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

Summer Greetings! My third card features more of the many fun elements of the Summer Bucket Additions Dies along with the Sunburst Pierced Plate, the Summer Banner Greetings and the previously released Candy Bucket Dies and Banner Greetings 2 Dies. There are so many different ways to use and decorate with the Summer Bucket Additions Dies. The possibilities are endless!

Once again, I created a subtle background with the Sunburst Pierced Plate. I trimmed down the panel and matted with a piece of teal cardstock. 

I used the Summer Bucket Additions Dies and the Candy Buckets Dies to diecut all of the elements out of colored cardstock. I assembled the elements and highlighted with a white gel pen. I adhered them to the card front with liquid glue and foam tape. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Summer Greetings” sentiment from the Summer Banner Greetings stamp set onto a piece of white cardstock. I used the Banner Greetings 2 Dies to diecut it out. I used the same die to diecut another banner out of teal cardstock. The banners were adhered to each other with glue and then to the card front with foam tape. I finished the card with some Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

Ready to see what the team has created with these products?

There are just endless ways to play with these super fun products from the June Release. Come back tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!

Hello crafty friends! Arsenia here, and I’m bringing all the tropical summertime vibes your way today. This release is absolutely bursting with sunshine, tropical beauty, and all the summer fun! Today I’m sharing three colorful cards featuring the new Large Summer Shadow Die, Tropical Leaves Dies, and Hibiscus Flowers Dies.

Did you know hibiscus flowers bloom in a rainbow of gorgeous colors?  That makes them perfect for crafty playtime—simply grab your favorite cardstock colors and let your creativity bloom! 

Card One

For my first card, I combined the new Large Summer Shadow Die with the gorgeous Hibiscus Flowers Dies and Tropical Leaves Dies. I die cut all of the images from colorful cardstock and added a bit of ink blending for extra depth and dimension.

For the background, I used the Pinking Rectangles Dies and created a breezy blue panel with some fun ink smooshing. After adhering the panel to a coordinating blue card base, I arranged all of my tropical elements until I was happy with the design.

To finish things off, I added a sentiment from the new Summer Banner Greetings and die cut it using the Banner Greetings 1 dies. Voilà—card complete!  I absolutely love a good repeat sentiment design; they’re always a favorite of mine! 

Card Two

For my second card, I couldn’t resist reaching for my all-time favorite tropical leaf—the fabulous monstera from the new Tropical Leaves Dies!

I die cut the leaves from white cardstock and brought them to life with ink blending and a little splatter. For a pop of color, I added a gorgeous hibiscus flower from the Hibiscus Flowers Dies, cut from bright cardstock.

The beautiful “Summer” sentiment comes from the new Happy Summer stamp set and coordinating dies. For the sub-sentiment, I used Summer Banner Greetings and a die from Banner Greetings 3, trimming it down to perfectly fit my greeting.

For the card base, panel, and layering piece, I used the Rounded Stitched Rectangles Dies. A little ink smooshing and splattering added even more tropical texture before I adhered all the elements. The result is a bright and cheerful tropical card that feels like a mini vacation! 

Card Three

For my final card, I started with the stunning new Sunburst Pierced Plate and added a soft wash of breezy tropical blue ink blending across the background.

Next, I die cut several blooms from the Hibiscus Flowers Dies, added ink blending, and set them aside while I worked on the rest of the design.

To add a little extra detail, I created a frame using the Fancy Cake Dies—a must-have staple for any crafty stash! Once the frame was adhered, I arranged the flowers and leaves until everything felt perfectly balanced.

For the sentiment, I used the “Sending” greeting from the Potted Roses stamp set along with the coordinating dies. I paired it with another sentiment from Summer Banner Greetings, cut using the Banner Greetings 1 dies.

And voilà! Another card finished and filled with tropical charm. The bright blooms, sunny colors, and layered details make this card feel like a little splash of paradise.

This release is overflowing with tropical treasures and summertime goodness, and I can’t wait for you to see everything!  Make sure to scroll to see all the amazing makes from the design team!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope these projects inspire you to add a little tropical sunshine to your crafty time. Have a wonderful day!

Hi friends, it’s Christina here! Are you ready for a tropical getaway? It’s Day 1 of sneak peeks to the release on June 15th that’s full of balmy, sun-kissed stamps, dies, and stencils perfect for summertime crafting. Today we are introducing some of the new dies, including the Flamingo Holder and the Summer Holder Additions, plus the Summer Cocktails and Summer Drink Shaker. So stick around; the team has some dazzling inspiration projects to share with you!

To showcase the new dies, I created three island-inspired cards, all with a similar tropical color palette. To get the brightly colored tropical vibe, I chose seafoam, avocado, and emerald greens and complemented them with yellow, orange, and pink. I brought all these colors together in my first card and made the fabulous Flamingo Holder my focal point. Before assembling the flamingo, I added shading to the die-cut pieces with ink and a small blending brush, and then after assembling, I added an Onyx Pearl for the eye. While the Summer Holder Additions set has all the fun summery things perfect for any of the critters in the “Holder” collection, I chose to use the small flower that’s included and created a floral lei for my flamingo, accenting it with leaves from a new mix called Summer Blooms. 

To create an island paradise for my flamingo, I reached for the new Layered Tropical Leaves Stencil and the Tropical Leaves die set. I layered a Pinking Rectangle die-cut from acetate on top of the stenciled background panel to soften it a bit and then tucked a variety of tropical leaves behind the flamingo before attaching everything with either liquid glue or foam squares. I finished this card design with a heat-embossed sentiment created by combining two new stamp sets, Happy Summer and Happy Hibiscus, and a few more Onyx Pearls for embellishment.

My next card shares a glimpse of what you might find if you peek through those tropical leaves in my first card—Summer Cocktails sipped from coconuts! The Summer Cocktails die set gives you a variety of options for creating fun fruity drinks, but I chose to double up on the coconut drinks and nestled them in a frame of Tropical Leaves for a lush tropical feel.

I used the new Sunburst Pierced Plate die-cut from Seaside cardstock as the background and tucked a few seashells and small flowers from the Summer Holder Additions set into the leaves that frame the scene. I added straws and colorful fruit picks to the coconut cocktails before finishing things up with a sentiment that, like my first card, I created by combining two new stamp sets. I used a sentiment from the Summer Banner Greetings with a pierced banner from the Banner Greetings 3 die set and the word “Cheers” from Summer Sips, a fun summer drink stamp set.

The last card I’m sharing with you today is a shaker card featuring the new Summer Drink Shaker. I stuck with the same tropical-inspired color palette I used for my first two cards, using a yellow, orange, and pink ink blend for the summer drink shaker and a seafoam checkerboard background I created by stenciling the new Watercolor Stripes horizontally and then vertically onto a white cardstock panel. 

To create the shaker element, I used foam tape to pop up the stenciled checkerboard panel onto a seafoam cardstock base, created a well around the acetate shaker window, and filled it with 4mm Clear Droplets and 8mm Sparkling Clear Sequins. I used white cardstock to frame the drink shaker and then added some fun fruity drink accessories, including a straw, a drink umbrella, and of course, fresh fruit. I wanted my citrus slices to have a white pith, so I combined the smaller citrus slice from the Summer Cocktails set with the larger one included with the Summer Drink Shaker. I added a beautiful ink-blended Hibiscus Flower for more of a tropical island vibe along with a few clay hibiscus flower embellishments from the new Summer Blooms clay mix. I finished up this card design by combining the new Large Summer Shadow die with a sentiment strip from the Happy Summer stamp set.

Keep scrolling for more balmy, sun-kissed inspo from the team!

Hi everyone! Melissa Phillips here with you today and I am so happy to be celebrating the new May Release from Pretty Pink Posh. 

I’m sharing a couple of cards created with the new stencils and stamps you’ll find in the May Release.  You’re in for such a treat! 

My first card uses the darling, new Dandelions stamps and coordinating dies. I began with the new Checkered Pierced Plate die to create my soft, textural background.  I stenciled dandelions across my card base using the new Dandelion Background stencil. It’s so irresistible! From there I’ve used the new Rounded Stitched Rectangles die to create a scene for my dandelions. The base rectangle was cut from vellum and the top was cut from white cardstock and ink blended in coordinating colors.

Each dandelion was cut from white cardstock and then stamped in shades of yellow and pale green.  I then ink blended coordinating colors over each, stem, leaf, and dandelion.  I arranged them using dimensional adhesive to make them pop up off the card. 

My sentiment comes from the new Everyday Banner Greetings stamp set and Banner Greetings 1 dies. Accent flowers were cut and ink blended using the Stitched Spring Flowers dies. Who would’ve thought weeds could be so cute? 

My second card warms my heart!  I’ve used the new Honeycomb stencil to create my background. I stenciled bright aqua ink over an aqua cardstock background and then added a bit of splattering using coordinating Distress Spritz. 

I used the Eyelet Hexagons dies to create my focal point. These come in a variety of sizes and layer together so perfectly.  I added stamped and die cut bumblebees using the new Bee Additions stamps and coordinating dies.  They are the cutest, happiest bumblebees!

My sentiment comes from the new Large Hello Shadow die. I love this beautiful, bold sentiment, don’t you? 

The sweet tulips and tiny flowers were cut using the Stitched Spring Flowers dies. They make the sweetest accents and Iove adding them to my cards to finish things off.

Hi Friends! Emily here with you today sharing two sweet as can bee cards using the soon-to-be-released products. The Bee Shaker is absolutely adorable, especially buzzing around a bright and cheerful flower garden.

I assembled the Bee Shaker using black cardstock for the outline, white with yellow ink-blended cardstock for the body, and white cardstock wings with light blue ink-blended tips.

For the shaker bits, I used the Bee Happy shaker beads. And of course, for extra cuteness, I added googly eyes and a sweet smile. I created the colorful garden using the Stitched Spring Flower Dies, which I adhered to a Rounded Stitched Rectangle background panel. For the black & white sentiment, I die-cut the Thinking of You Shadow Word die with a stamped and snipped “of you” from the Thinking Of You sentiment from the Simple Sentiments stamp set. 

Receiving a Just Bee-cause card will always brighten a friend’s day! My cheerful card features the Beehive Shaker with a lace-like honeycomb background using the Eyelet Hexagons. I die-cut the bee hive from white cardstock twice – once for the hive background that I ink-blended with a bright yellow and a second time for the hive inlay pieces that I ink-blended in honey yellow. I adhered the inlay pieces to the hive base and, for extra dimension, added white ink splatters. Then I stamped and colored with OLO markers the adorable bee images from the Bee Additions and Bee Friends stamp sets. 

The background was created by layering and stacking Eyelet Hexagon pieces to a white card panel. For extra dimension and charm, I stamped the center of each hexagon with a floral image with light gray ink from the Spring Blooms stamp set.
