Sneak Peek: Build A Cupcake

Hello crafty friends! It’s Yoonsun here to share a cute birthday cupcake card with brand new Build A Cupcake stamp & coordinating die set releasing on February 10th.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Build A Cupcake

I started by making cupcake pattern panel. I randomly stamped cupcakes onto an A2 sized white paper panel with pale beige coloured dye ink – I stamped mask for the cake image to sticky note, cut out the mask and layered it over each stamped cake image because this set is build-a-cupcake. I then die cut 6 scallop borders from the pattern paper, assembled them together on the card base using double-sided tape.

For the cupcakes, I stamped them on watercolour paper using pale beige dye ink first, coloured cake images with polychromos pencils, cup images with Rusty Hinge Distress ink, and then die cut them with the matching dies. I added 4 cupcakes on the centre of the card front using foam tape, decorated them with Rainbow Sprinkles & Pinata Party Clay Confetti. These new clay confetti packs are so adorable!

Sneak Peek: Birthday Wreath

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today, and I’m excited to be giving you a sneak peek of the Birthday Wreath stamp set releasing on February 10th. It’s so fun! One thing I love about all the new products is that they pair so seamlessly with previously released Pretty Pink Posh products.  

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Birthday Wreath

I really love all the little images in the wreath stamp sets, and I think that they look fabulous just as they are, so for my card I decided to simply emboss the Birthday Wreath image in a dark gold/bronze color. Next I blended aqua ink in an ombre fashion, and then splattered to my heart’s content. Truth be told I was watching a movie, placed my card inside a box to catch the splatters and just went at it. I used water, gold paint, and a shimmery teal paint to add a variety of flecks.  It kind of reminds me of birthday confetti, which seemed fitting.

For my sentiment I die cut the Happy Birthday Script several times in white, layered them together, and placed a gold die cut on top. I opted to leave the centers in the letters, so the sentiment was more readable atop the busy background. I decided to go big or go home with the gold on my card and added a few metallic gold jewels to dress it up just a bit more. As the jewels tumbled out of the bag, some were right side up and some were upside down. The backside was clear and I liked combination with the gold fronts, so when I adhered my jewels I purposely adhered some of them right side up and some upside down.

I popped my panel up on a kraft card base and called it a day.  I’m always tickled when all I need are a few great products to make a card.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Stay tuned for peeks of new products the rest of the week. You are going to LOVE this release!

Sneak Peek: Balloon Alphabet + Balloon Numbers

Hi friends, Kavya here and I am thrilled to be sharing a sneak peek at the new Balloon Alphabet and Balloon Numbers stamps and coordinating dies as a part of this month’s release on February 10th. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Balloon Alphabet + Balloon Numbers

If you follow me on IG, you know that I am a huge fan of versatile stamp sets. I am not kidding when I say that this is one stamp set combo that I will find myself using often in the future. You can combine the alphabets and numbers to create general sentiments, chat lingo (like gr8, hb2u etc.), numbers for special occasions and year etc.. If you don’t want the balloon look, just snip of the triangle at the end and just think of it as a bubbly font!

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Balloon Alphabet + Balloon Numbers

For my project, I decided to create a non-birthday using the birthday release for a friend who loves desserts. I first started off by ink blending the edges of a mushroom colored cardstock using black dye ink. I splattered some white ink to make it look like sparkles. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images using alcohol makers from Build A Cupcake, Balloon Numbers and Balloon Alphabet from the new release and Cupcake Critters from a previous release. For the cupcakes, I added extra details like stripes on the cupcake wrapper and some sprinkles. In general, I added highlights to all the images using a white gel pen! White gel pen details definitely make the balloons more realistic in my opinion.  I then arranged them on my background using foam tape to finish off my card!

I hope you liked this project! Check back tomorrow for more inspiration featuring the upcoming February 10th release.

Happy Crafting, Kavya

Sneak Peek: January 2022 Dies & Stencils

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a few new sneak peeks for the new release coming to Pretty Pink Posh on January 6th.

My first card uses the new Scattered Hearts stencil. I ink blended my card panel with Distress Oxide ink in Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar. I then laid the Scattered Hearts stencil on top of the panel and used Festive Berry, Picked Raspberry and Kitsch Flamingo ink to add my hearts. 

Next, I used the new Sending Love set to stamp my cute images and sentiment (sending lots of). I colored the critters with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Lastly, I used the new Hugs Script die to complete my sentiment.

My next card uses the new Love Hearts background die. There are so many possibilities with this die. I decided to make a Valentine’s Day card but I can’t wait to use it for a wedding card.

I started my card by running the Love Hearts die through my die cutting machine two times. I stacked the dies together and then attached them to a card panel that had been ink blended with Peacock Feathers ink. I then added Kitsch Flamingo ink to the two heart pieces and inlaid them back into the frame.

Next, I used the Floral Hearts set to stamp my wreath. I love the way the wreath fits perfectly around the heart and creates such a sweet frame. I then used the new Sending Love set to stamp my bird. I colored the images with Comic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Lastly, I used the new Valentine Wreath set to stamp my sentiment. 

Thanks for joining me for today’s sneak peeks. I hope I inspired you to create some Valentine cards of your own. 

Enjoy your day, Dana

Sneak Peek: Sending Love

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of a new stamp set with the cutest critters. This stamp set is called Sending Love and I think this would not only be a great set to have for Valentine’s Day, but can also be used year-round for birthday cards and other occasions. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Sending Love

I decided to make a slimline card to have room for all the adorable critters. To start, I cut the largest panel from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Die in white cardstock. From the bottom up, I ink blended the panel with Distress Oxide Inks in Vintage Photo, Festive Berries, and Worn Lipstick. I then used Festive Berries and inked through the Scattered Hearts Stencil. I also splattered the panel with black and white acrylic paints. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Sending Love

Next, I stamped, cut, and colored the images from the Sending Love stamp set and coordinating dies. I used the following Copic markers:
Raccoon – C7/5/3/1/00
Monkey – E77/74/71
Fox – E99/97/95
Mailbox – R32/30
Dog – E53/50
Box – BG09/05/13
Bird – RV23/10/00

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Sending Love

I foam mounted the images onto the card panel. I love that the “happy mail” script has a coordinating die cut. I cut 3 additional pieces and stacked them up for dimension. I then white heat embossed “sending lots of love” on a strip of black cardstock and adhered onto the panel. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a 3.5″ x 8.5″ teal cardstock before adhering onto a card base.

That’s all for this slimline card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to create a card with the Sending Love stamp set. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Sneak Peek: Love Balloons + Love Borders

Hi friends, it’s Elaine from Pink Peppermint Cards. I am absolutely delighted to be back to share a sneak peek of some of the products in the new Valentine’s Day release!  

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Love Balloons + Love Borders

To start my project I stamped all the images from the new Love Balloons stamp set along with previously released Love Borders (we’re releasing coordinating dies for this set in this release!) with a black dye ink on to copic friendly card stock.  I used copic markers to color all my images, the colors I used were:

Balloons: R29, R27, R24

Pink: R85, R83, R81

Hearts: R59, R39, R29 

Rabbit: W3, W1, W0, RV11

Beaver: E27, E25, E23, E21, RV11

Racoon: W8, W6, W4, W2, RV11

Chipmunk: E37, E34, E33, E31, RV11

Once the coloring was done I cut out all the images with the Love Borders coordinating die and Love Balloons coordinating die. I set all the die cut pieces aside while I worked on the background. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Love Balloons + Love Borders

For the background I cut a piece of heavyweight smooth white card stock to 5.5” x 4.25”.  Laying down my panel horizontally I used blending brush to lightly blend on some Picked Raspberry Distress Ink on to the panel.  I started in the middle of the card stock and used circular motions to apply the ink, using a lighter hand the further out I pulled the ink.  I laid the new Scattered Hearts stencil over the top of my card panel and applied more ink through the heart openings, being careful not to use a heavy hand.  I avoided stencilling any hearts towards the bottom of the panel as knew I wanted to lay the love borders towards the bottom.

Setting the stencilled panel aside to dry, I applied foam adhesive to the back of all the die cut images. I love the dimension the foam tape gives.  Bringing back the card panel, I first laid the row of hearts along the bottom and laid a wider image from the Love Borders above it.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Love Balloons + Love Borders

I spent quite a while arranging the critter images and balloons on to the card front.  Once I was happy with the placement, I took a photo of them on my phone for reference then then carefully secured the critters to the card, then the balloons.  The ends of the balloon strings were adhered to the paws of the critters with a tiny dab of liquid adhesive.  

To create the sentiment, I treated a piece of black card stock with my antistatic powder tool and used the ‘Lots of Love’ sentiment stamp from the new Love Balloons stamp set and stamped it with a sticky clear embossing ink and coated with a fine white embossing powder.  I used my heat gun to melt the embossing powder until it was smooth and glossy, then trimmed into a thin strip.  I added a thin strip of foam tape on the back and adhered to the centre of the card.  The whole panel was then secured to a white A2 sized card base.

As a final embellishment to the card I added some shimmer to some of the colored elements with a clear sparkle pen and added some new Pink Blush pearls in various sizes all over the background of the card.

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. Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Crafty hugs, Elaine xxx

Sneak Peek: Valentine Wreath

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here and I am delighted to be giving you a sneak peek of the brand new Valentine Wreath set releasing on January 6th. I’m a fan of all of the wreath sets and am thrilled to be adding this one to my collection.  

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Valentine Wreath

I started by stamping and die cutting the Valentine Wreath.  It doesn’t take much to dress up these images. Because they are tiny in size, coloring is quick, which is a win in my book. I ended up just using two markers on this one – a light pink and a bright red.  

While I was coloring, the little bow and arrow reminded me of the adorable cupid in the previously released Valentine Circles stamp set.  This chubby little cupid fit too perfectly in the center of the wreath, so I had to use him.  I colored him with alcohol markers as well.  

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Valentine Wreath

Next I stamped and die cut one of the beautiful script sentiments included in the set. Now that I had all my pieces ready to go, I decided to spruce up the background. I blended on pink ink, concentrating most of the color in the center. Then I splattered the background with pink and red dots. I created a diagonal line of sorts with the splatters to lead your eye to the sentiment, popped up all my images with foam tape, and called it a day.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Valentine Wreath

Thanks so much for visiting today! Make sure to keep popping in this week to see more sneak peeks and don’t forget to mark your calendars for January 6 when all these cute valentine goodies will be released. Wishing you a lovely day!

Sneak Peek: October 2021 Dies & Stencils

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today with two cards that use a few of the amazing new stencils (and die) coming to Pretty Pink Posh on October 13th. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: October 2021 Dies & Stencils

My first card uses the new Layered Ornaments Stencil. This is a three pack of stencils that make an adorable card panel. I ink blended each ornament with dye and a small finger dauber. I then used the second stencil and added the ornament detail with a shade darker ink. Lastly, I used the third stencil to add the silver ornament topper. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: October 2021 Dies & Stencils

For my sentiment I used the new Holiday Scripts stamp and coordinating die set. I love this set of sentiments. They are perfect for all of your holiday and winter cards. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: October 2021 Dies & Stencils

My next card uses the new Layered Holly Stencil. The Layered Holly stencils are three stencils that can be layered together to make the most gorgeous background.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: October 2021 Dies & Stencils

I once again used dye ink and started with a light green to make the holly. I then used the second stencil to add the darker leaf vein. Lastly, I used the third stencil to add red berries. I then kept the third stencil in place and added White Glitz Glitter Gel to add a little extra sparkle to the berries.

Next, I used the new Winter Candle die to create my focal image. I die cut the candle from white cardstock and then inlaid the pieces back into the die with colored cardstock. I mounted the candle onto a circle that had been die cut with the Scallop Circle Die. For my sentiment I used the new Christmas Candles set

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you found some inspiration for the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on October 13th. 

Enjoy your day, Dana

Sneak Peek: Winter Circles

Hello friends! It’s Leica here and today I am sharing a sneak peek of the new Winter Circles stamp set. There are 6 different images in this set and they are perfect for Christmas cards and tags. There is also a coordinating die set – a plain circle and a scallop lace circle. I decided to use all the images for my card.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Winter Circles

For my card, I first cut a 5×7 panel in white 110 lb cardstock. I then cut a gold cardstock measuring 3.75″x7″ and a teal cardstock measuring 3.5″x7″. I glued these down in the center of the white panel. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Winter Circles Stamp Set. I colored them with Copic Sketch: 

Browns – E25/23/21, E44, E50
Greens – G67/63/61
Golds – Y26/23/21
Teals – BG09/05/13
Reds – R27/24/22
Yellows – Y18/13

Backgrounds

Penguin – B00
Poinsettia- Y21
Candle – R22
Reindeer – G61
Snowman – E50
Holly – BG10

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Winter Circles

I then cut 6 of the scallop lace circles in white cardstock and glued the images on top of each one. Next, I foam mounted them onto the card panel. The sentiments are from the new Holiday Scripts stamp set. I white heat embossed the “merry” and “season’s greetings” on a strip of black cardstock and gold heat embossed the “Christmas” on white cardstock and cut with its coordinating die. I then foam mounted the sentiments onto the card base.

Lastly, I adhered the base onto a card panel – 7″x10″ scored at the 5″ mark.

That’s all for this Christmas card! I hope that you enjoyed today’s sneak peek and that I’ve inspired you to create holiday cards for your loved ones!

Sneak Peek: Christmas Candles

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at the new Christmas Candles stamp set from the October 13th release! This is a beautiful set with a fabulous choices of images. I’m sharing two different styles of card, to show how versatile this set is for your holiday projects.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Christmas Candles

The candle and lantern images in this set look amazing against a dark background. I stamped out one of the lantern images and some holly from the Christmas Candles set and coloured them with copic markers. I’ll list the colours below. I then die cut the image with the coordinating die.

Copic Colours
Lantern C1, C3, C5
Candle: E51, E53, E55
Flame: YR14, YR15, YR16
Glow: Y00, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17
Holly leaves: G14, G07, G28

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Christmas Candles

Next, I cut a panel of dark blue patterned paper to cover my 4.25 card base. For the glow from the lantern, I cut a small circle of handmade gel printed background, created using dried marigold and squeezed lemonade distress oxide inks. Tennis elbow means I’m not able to ink blend as much as I would like to right now, so this is a simple (and arm friendly) alternative to creating a background and glow. If you enjoy ink blending your backgrounds, that will look fabulous too.

To create a snowy place for the lantern to sit, I die cut a piece of white glitter card using a die from the previously released Scallop Borders 2 die set. I adhered this onto my card base, then added the lantern on top with foam tape.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Christmas Candles

I love the scripty sentiments in the Pretty Pink Posh stamp sets, especially the coordinating dies for them, as it makes them so much more versatile. I embossed the Merry script word, from the Christmas Candles stamp set, with WOW Opaque Bright White embossing powder on the same patterned paper as the background. I then die cut the word out with the coordinating die. I added a couple of layers of navy die cuts offset behind the word, for dimension and a shadow effect.

I embossed a second sentiment from the set on the background, then adhered the word die above. To fill some of the space in the bottom half of the card, I embossed another sentiment from the Christmas Candles stamp set on navy card, and adhered to the card with double sided tape. I then added the holly images to the card to finish.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Christmas Candles

For my second sneak peek using the Christmas Candles stamp set, I’ve gone for an elegant CAS design. This card would be great for mass producing, as it’s quick to create and looks beautiful.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Christmas Candles

The candles image is coloured with copic markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. I added a second layer behind for dimension.

Copic Colours
Candle: R24, R27, R39
Flame: Y11, YR14
Holly leaves: G14, G07, G17

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Christmas Candles

For the berries, I thought I’d use some of the beautiful new Metallic Gold pearls. These come in a mixed size pack, and I used the smallest size here. They are really beautiful embellishments.

I cut a 4 inch square panel of white card, and heat embossed sentiments from the Christmas Candles stamp set with WOW Metallic Gold Ruch Super Fine embossing powder.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Christmas Candles

I cut a piece of gold card to fit my 4.25 card base, then adhered the white panel on top, followed by the candles. As a finishing touch, I used some Nuvo White Blizzard glitter drops on the candle flames.

Thank you for joining us for today’s sneak peek. We hope to see you again tomorrow!
