Sneak Peeks

Hello friends, Tammy here. I had so much fun creating these cards featuring the new set, Construction Trucks that releases on June 16th. This set is so much fun, and would be perfect to create party favors for a construction themed party!

To begin, I stamped the images from the Construction Trucks Stamp Set onto Bristol smooth cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I then die cut the colored images using the Construction Trucks Coordinating Dies.

To create this A2 card, I began with an A2 panel and attached black and yellow cardstock strips die cut using the Simple Strips Dies. I adhered the strips diagonally, cutting off the excess to create a fun background. Next, I cut a smaller rectangle panel from Bristol smooth cardstock. I created the dirt hills using the new Layered Roads Stencil, and blended Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks. I then splattered some Vintage Photo ink, thinned with water, to add some interest to the hills. Next, I ink blended the top of the card with Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks and attached it to a white mat before attaching to the striped background. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in black ink and attached it to an A2 white card base to complete my card.

I also created a fun, coordinating box card using the Construction Trucks stamp set. I began by cutting the base of the box from black cardstock. I added some yellow cardstock strips die cut using the Simple Strips Dies, attaching them diagonally as I did the A2 card. Next, I finished assembling the base of the box. The backdrop was cut from Bristol smooth cardstock, and the top was ink blended with Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I created the dirt hill using the Layered Roads Stencil, and blended Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks. I then splattered some Vintage Photo ink, thinned with water, to add some interest to the hill. I then attached my backdrop to a white mat and adhered it to the box. 

I attached the colored images to the box, using foam tape on some for both dimension and to add some stability to the box. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of white cardstock and attached to the front of the box card and finished it off with a little truck attached with foam tape.

I hope you were inspired to create some fun Construction themed projects! Stay tuned for more sneak peeks of the upcoming June 16th release!

Hugs, Tammy

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today and I’m excited to give you a peek at the brand new Across the Miles stamp set releasing on June 16th. This darling transportation set coordinates perfectly with several other stencils and stamps being released this month. I’ve got three projects to share today, so let’s get started!

First up is a card that uses just Across the Miles, so you can see how cute it is on it’s own. I stamped all the vehicles in the set on golden/dijon yellow, mint, and light grey cardstock and cut them with the coordinating dies.

I then arranged them in rows of traffic on my card base. You’ll notice that half of the images in the set are right facing and the other half are left facing.  

I finished my card off by layering a couple of off-set squares and stamping a sentiment from Across the Miles. Don’t you just love the font pairing? I’m a huge fan!

There is a darling truck in this set, and it was begging to be filled, so I did just that on the next card.  

Let’s start with the card base.  I began by alternately stamping “vroom!” and “beep!” until the center of the card base was filled. To keep the background a bit more subtle, I layered a piece of vellum on top.  

Next I stamped the truck and did the tiniest bit of coloring with a white gel pen for the lights and a black marker for the tires. It’s surprising how adding just this tiny bit of black really draws the eye in.

I had SO many ideas for fillers for this truck, but I chose to make a birthday truck by filling it with balloons using the Balloon Numbers and Balloon Alphabet stamp sets and dies.  The balloon strings weren’t quite long enough for my tallest balloon (“4”), so I stamped two strings, connected them together, and hid the overlapping portion behind the mint party balloon.  

I added tiny little sentiments from Let’s Party to the center of the balloons and popped everything up on my card base.  

A little sprinkling of glossy black jewels and my card was finished. 

On my final card in the trio I wanted to pair Across the Miles with one of the new stencils- Layered Roads. In order to create a larger scene, I chose to make a slimline card. 

I blended the roads in a very dark grey onto a stitched base from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies. I only used two of the stencils, the road and the dotted lines.  With some trial and error, I found that the easiest way to create crisp, vibrant white lines is to use a gel pen with the stencil.  

This card happens to be traveling to a friend who lives across the country in a place full of sunshine and palms, so I pulled out the Hugs (sun, clouds) and Summer Wreath (palm tree) stamp sets and dies to add a little color the scene. 

Though subtle, I wanted to point out the cute Pinstripe Stencil on my card base. Due to the nature of the stripes, this stencil is really easy to align for a taller card base and added just a bit of fun and color.

I stamped the sentiment at the top, and to add just a little emphasis on the desire to quickly send those smiles, I added “vroom!” in a couple places. :) 

Here’s one last peek of the cards all together.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Make sure to come back again tomorrow for more fun peeks of this fabulous new release!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Yoonsun here to share a floral wreath card with so beautiful Spring Foliage die set that releases on May 16th. It contains small sized stitched flowers & leaves- so perfect for making many different styled spring floral cards!

I started by die cutting flowers and leaves from coloured cardstock using the Spring Foliage die set.

Next, I die cut 4 leafy borders from white cardstock using the Stitched Leafy Borders die, then adhered them on white card base using fine tip glue pen. I lightly drew a circle line on the centre of the leafy base using pencil, and then adhered flower die cuts along the circle line using foam tape first, and then added leaves.

For the sentiment on top of the floral wreath, I used the new Celebration Scripts stamp set.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Join us tomorrow for a full picture reveal of the May 16th release!

Hugs,
Yoonsun

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a sneak peek of two of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on May 16th. There are five new stencils being released, which include a fun Pinstripe, Mini Grid, Layered Letters and the two I will be using today. 

For my first card I am using the new Layered Spring Flowers stencil pack. This is a three pack of stencils that can be layered together to create the most adorable background. I used dye ink and a blending brush to create my panel. The first two layers create the flowers and then the final layer is the flower’s center. For the last layer I used Glitz Glitter Gel in white to give the flowers a little extra sparkle. 

For my sentiment, I used the new Celebration Scripts set. This is a great set of sentiments, perfect for so many occasions. Next, I used the Spring Foliage dies to create my white flowers and leaves. These dies are just the sweetest. There are so many options for building bouquets, floral clusters and accents. I know it is a set of dies that I will use often. Lastly, I added Light Orchid and Creamsicle pearls to my flower’s centers to finish my card. 

My second card uses the new Crafty Background stencil set. 

The Crafty Background stencil set is a pack of three stencils that layer together to make the most adorable background. It’s perfect for your favorite crafter and coordinates perfectly with all the new craft supplies sets that will be available with the new release. To create my panel, I used dye ink, finger daubers along with a little post-it tape for some masking. 

Next, I used the dies from the new Crafty Days die set to create my frame. I then used the Crafty Critters set for my sentiment, mouse and craft supplies. I colored the images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Lastly, I attached my frame to the center of my card panel with foam adhesive and attached everything to an A2 card base. 

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my cards and I can’t wait to see what you create with these fun new products.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hi folks, Kavya here with another fun sneak peek of the new release! If you love crafting and florals – THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU! I absolutely love what PPP did with the theme! My card today is an extension of my love for creating mini envelopes for my cards. I created a mini bouquet of flowers this time around to hold the gorgeous florals from the Spring Flowers set. 

I first started off by creating my background by ink blending Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers distress oxide inks. I then used the Pinstripe Stencil create a fun background. 

For the bouquet, I used a square piece of cream cardstock. I then folded it using the Kite fold like shown in the diagram but just make sure that the edges overlap instead of meeting at the center. Fold two flaps at the top and you are done! 

Then, I filled the bouquet with some stamped and colored Spring Flowers and added a sentiment from Celebration Scripts to finish off my card.

Wasn’t that fun? Love how this turned out! Check back tomorrow for more sneak peeks of the May 16th release!

Happy Crafting, Kavya 

Hi friends, it’s Elaine from Pink Peppermint Cards on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today.  I am absolutely delighted to be back to share a sneak peek at some of the products releasing May 16th. One set may look familiar as it was a free gift earlier this year but now it’ll be available for purchase! 

I started this card with a piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock measuring 6.5” x 4”. I treated the whole panel of cardstock with an antistatic powder tool and used my Misti stamping tool to repeat stamp the pen, pencil and crayon border stamp from the Crafty Days stamp set with Versamark Ink. I used a fine white embossing powder to coat the clear inked panel and then heat set the powder until smooth and glossy. Taking my Distress Ink pad in Worn Lipstick I ink blended on to the panel with a blending brush, ensuring the focus of the color was around the edges and using a lighter hand towards the middle. Once I was happy with the ink blending, I cut the panel down to 5.75” x 3.25”.  The panel was set aside to dry while I worked on the other elements of the card.

I stamped the images from Crafty Critters stamp set with a black dye ink on to copic friendly cardstock. I then used my copic markers to color these super cute images! Here are the colors I used:

Koala: W4, W3, W1, W0, RV02, RV10

Mouse: E44, E43, E42, E41, E40, RV02, RV10

Paint pallet: C3, C1, C00, R27, R24, YR07, YR04, Y17, Y13, G07, G02, B26, B23

Paint brush: E27, E23, E55

Once the coloring was done, I cut out all the images with the Crafty Critters coordinating dies.  

I created a card base for this card by cutting a piece of heavyweight white card 7”x 6” and scored the longest edge at 3.5”, this gave me a 6”x 3.5” side folding cardbase. I popped some foam tape on the back of the embossed ink blended panel and adhered it to the cardbase.  To create a focal point for my little critters I cut the largest frame from the Stitched Photo Frames Die set twice and popped a layer of vellum behind the opening. I used a black pigment ink to stamp the sentiment included in the Crafty Critters stamp set on to each of the frames. I secured the frames to the front of the card with liquid adhesive and then secured the little critters and their accessories on top.

Using a white gel pen I added a few highlights to the colored images and some black glaze gel pen to finish off the nose and eyes. Finally, I added a few pink clay hearts because I can never get enough of clay hearts and I’m calling this card done!

Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope you enjoyed taking a quick sneak at some of the new products releasing this month, these products are perfect for creating some fun projects your crafty pals!

Happy crafting! Elaine xxx

Hello, Gemma here today with a sneak peek of two new stamp sets from the May 16th release – Crafty Days and Crafty Sentiments.

For my first card, I stamped out a border four times from the Crafty Days stamp set. I coloured the images in a rainbow of copic markers, then die cut them with the Crafty Days coordinating die.

On a 5.25” card base, I stamped a greeting from the Crafty Sentiments stamp set. There are lots of great sentiments to choose from in the set.

I adhered the borders to my card base. To add some variation in dimension, I adhered a second die cut layer behind the 1st and 3rd borders. Once adhered to the card base, I trimmed away anything overhanging to finish.

Continuing the rainbow theme on my second card, I used the new Pinstripe stencil with distress oxide inks to add lots of colour to my A2 card base. The colours I chose were Saltwater Taffy, Squeezed Lemonade, Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac and Kitsch Flamingo.

I stamped and coloured two images from the Crafty Days stamp set. The coordinating die set comes with both a square to cut the images out, along with a scalloped square for layering.

On my card, I stamped a greeting from the Crafty Sentiments stamp set. I recommend using Versafine Onyx Black ink as it stamps well over the distress oxide inks.

I then used foam tape to adhere the images over white glitter scalloped squares, before adhering to my card base to finish.

I hope you enjoyed these cards. Join us tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a sneak peek of some of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on March 14th. The stencils for this release center around Easter and spring. There are four different stencils being released, which include Layered Eggs, Layered Butterflies. Happy Days and a Floral Background. 

My first card uses the Layered Butterflies stencil. I started my card by ink blending Distress Oxide ink in Spun Sugar onto my card panel to give it a soft pink look. I then used the first butterfly layer and Distress Oxide ink Worn Lipstick to create my butterflies. For the second layer, (butterfly detail) I used Carved Pumpkin ink. For the third and final layer, I added Glitz Glitter Gel in Gold for the butterflies bodies. To finish my panel I added a few splatters with gold paint for a little added detail.

Once my panel was dry, I used the new Butterfly Shaker die to create my shaker window. I added acetate behind the window and inlaid a butterfly in the opening that had been die cut with gold glittered paper. I filled my shaker with the new Creamsicle Pearls and closed up the opening with foam adhesive.

Lastly, I used the Simple Sentiments set to stamp my sentiment. 

My next card uses the new Layered Eggs stencil. I just had to create the eggs in a rainbow of colors! There are two stencils included in this set and they are so easy to use and line up. I did some simple masking and used tone on tone dye ink. On my final layer I did add a layer of Ranger Texture Paste in Transparent Gloss to give the eggs some extra shine and texture.

To finish my card I used the Hoppy Easter Script die. I die cut the sentiment three times with white cardstock and once with a light pink glittered cardstock I had in my stash.  I then stacked the dies for some added dimension before attaching them to my card panel. 

Thanks for joining me today. I hope I inspired you to give these new stencils a try… I know you won’t be disappointed. They are so fun and easy to use!

Join us tomorrow as we reveal all of the new products in picture form so you can start to compile your wish lists for the March 14th release date!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hello Friends! It’s Raquel here today sharing some sneak peeks of the new dies coming to Pretty Pink Posh on March 14^th.

There are some very innovative dies for this upcoming release! The moment I saw them I knew I’d be creating some fun and happy themed designs.

These project features the new 3D Pinwheels dies. They come in two sizes, and I just love them! You can be as creative as you want and use pattern paper or create your our paper.

I decided to do the later, so I grabbed my Distress Oxide Inks and some stencils.

I used the new Floral Background Stencil and the Mini Polka Dot Stencil in some of the pinwheels and colored them using several pastel colors: Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo, Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio and Salvaged Patina.

Once the ink blending was done, I just used these gorgeous dies to cut out three small pinwheels and three bigger ones. Then I folded them towards the center and secured them with a mini brad.

Lastly I just glued some colorful straws to the back with permanent glue. So easy!!! These are just perfect for any celebration, and I can assure they look stunning in real life.

My next project features the Flat Pinwheels. These can also be used in any celebration project or incorporate them into cards. I wanted to use as many pinwheels as possible in the same project so I used the smallest one.

I cut out several pieces in different colors and foam mounted them using the Slimline Scallop Frames. To add some texture to this colorful project, I added some white strips I had previously cut out with the Simply Strips dies.

I glued them to the front layer and arranged my pinwheels trying to make them look like if they were moving. I also added some spatters and some of the new Pearls.

I gold heat embossed the sentiment from the new Hugs stamp set and placed it in the middle. I love how this card turned out. These colorful pinwheels pop out so beautifully against the white background.

I hope you have enjoyed I gave you some ideas to create some fun and unique projects with this one of a kind dies.

Have a great day, Raquel

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the new Hugs stamp set. I just love this set and if you have any of the previously-released word stamp sets (Baby, Dad, Joy, Love, Mom), this would be a wonderful addition to have. 

Here are the Copic marker colors I used for this project.

For my card panel, I cut a 5.5” square in light pink cardstock. The background is done by ink blending through the Happy Days Stencils in Antique Linen, Kitsch Flamingo, Milled Lavender, Squeezed Lemonade, and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks. 

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the Hugs stamp with the coordinating dies. The sentiment is stamped onto a strip of Kraft card stock. I then foam mounted the stamped elements onto the card panel. I adhered a few Sea Foam Pearls here and there to add interest to the card. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a 5.5” square card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. The release will be on March 14th and I know you will love the new products!
