Sneak Peeks

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! 

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the new Easter Wreath stamp set which will be available on March 14th. This is another beautiful set to add to the other previously-released Wreath collection. 

To start, I stamped the wreath on white cardstock in Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. I colored the images with Copic markers and cut with the Easter Wreath coordinating die. 

Next, I cut a 4.5” square panel in white cardstock. I used the new Floral Background Stencil to create a Spring background. The colors I used are Dried Marigold, Kitsch Flamingo, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Inks. To make the shaker element, I cut a 5.5” acetate and wrapped it  around the panel, adhering the tabs with double sided tape. I added some Bunny Garden Clay Confetti before adhering the last flap down. I then layered this panel on top of a 5” pink cardstock. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the Easter Greetings onto a strip of Kraft cardstock. I adhered the wreath and sentiment onto the acetate with double-sided tape. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a 5” square card base. 

That’s all for this  card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to create Easter cards for your friends and loved ones. Stop by tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!

Hey folks, Kavya here. I am showcasing some amazing products for the upcoming March 14th release. If you like scene building and cute critters, you are in for a treat! This month’s theme is Easter and Spring… complete with gorgeous butterflies, decorated eggs and flowers!

For today’s project, I decided to showcase the new Easter Circles and Easter Signs stamp sets. I also used a few images from other new stamp sets like Easter Wreath and Hugs :) If you are looking for ways to incorporate the Circles line of stamps into scene building, here is a fun card sketch that can be used with any of the releases. Simply start with a slimline card and add a circle in the middle surrounded by critters on the side.

For this project, I used a card base of size 4.25” x 6” just so that I could add a tree top. I started off with ink blending the sky using Victorian Velvet, Dried Marigold and Antique Linen distress oxide inks. Then, I diecut a strip of grass using green cardstock and treetops and bark from green and linen cardstock using Nature Essential dies. I ink blended these diecuts using matching distress oxide inks and added paint splatters to make them more realistic.

Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Easter Circles, Easter Signs, Easter Wreath and Hugs. I layered the Easter circle on top of a scalloped circle die cut using Winter Circles coordinating die. Adhered all of these images to the card base using foam and that’s it! You are done :)

Isn’t this release just cute? I can’t wait for you to see all the other products in the next few days! You won’t be disappointed :)

Thanks,
Kavya

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today with a sneak peek of a few of the new dies coming to Pretty Pink Posh on February 10th.

I started my card by making my shaker with the new Party Cake die set. I used the frame die, included in the set, to cut my opening in my card panel. I then attached a piece of acetate behind the opening, added some foam adhesive around the edges and filled my shaker with the new Rainbow Sprinkles clay confetti mix. You will love this mix, it’s a party in a bag! Next, I ink blended my frame and cake pieces before attaching them to the acetate. Each piece of the cake and frame come apart so you can mix and match your colors and layers, so fun. 

For my sentiment I used the new Celebrate Script die. I ran it through my die cutting machine three times and stacked the dies together to give the sentiment some dimension. Lastly, I used the new Build A Cupcake stamp set to stamp my complementing sentiment. 

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you have enjoyed taking a sneak peek at some of the new products being released this month. Come back tomorrow for the full picture reveal!  

Enjoy your day,

Dana

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a sneak peek of some of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on February 10th. 

The stencils for this release center around the fun birthday theme. There are three packs of layered stencils which include cupcakes, presents and candles. 

My first card uses the Layered Cupcake stencils. I started by making my card panel with the three stencils and dye ink in pink, aqua and purple. The color combinations are endless with these stencils. 

The stencils easily layer on top of each other to create the most adorable card panel. Once my panel was finished I added a few splatters with white paint and then set it aside to dry. Lastly, I used the new Birthday Scripts set to stamp and die cut my sentiment. This sentiment set is perfect for all of your birthday cards and so much more. 

For my next card I used the new Layered Presents stencil set. Keeping my color palette the same as before I used the three stencils to make a card panel. 

Once my panel was finished I trimmed it down to a 2.25 inch strip. I then used the Scallop Border die to create my purple border for each side of the strip. Next, I used the new Build A Gift die set to create my die cut present. This die set is so fun, it includes two different size presents with different patterns, bows and ribbons that can all be mixed and matched. Lastly, I used the Build A Cupcake stamp set to stamp my sentiment.

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

Enjoy your day, Dana
