Sneak Peeks

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of two new Pretty Pink Posh stamp sets – Cozy Fall Critters and Falling Leaves that will be released on September 13th. I combined images from these sets to create a fun circle shaped Autumn card.

I started by cutting a 5″ circle in teal colored patterned paper and a 4.5″ circle in kraft cardstock. I then adhered the smaller panel to the larger one. 

Next, I stamped the images using Memento Rich Cocoa ink on 110lb white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. 

Fall leaves:

YR14, Y18/13

YG67/63/61

YR07/04/02/00

R39/37/35/32

Acorns – E44/43/42

Mouse – C5/3/1, R32/30

Sweater – BG09/05/15, YR23/21/20

The larger leaves are from Falling Leaves Stamp Set and the rest of the images are from Cozy Fall Critters Stamp Set. I added white highlights using a gel pen and cut them with their coordinating dies. I then arranged the leaves in a wreath form and foam mounted them onto the kraft panel. I also foam mounted the adorable mouse on the wreath. The greetings are from the Falling Leaves Stamp Set and I love how there is a die for the word Autumn. 

Lastly, I cut a 5″ circle in white 110lb cardstock, scored at the .25″ mark and adhered the flap to the teal panel to complete my card. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Join us tomorrow for a look at the new die sets that are part of the September 13th release!

Hello, Gemma here with a sneak peek to share with you all. I’m using the new Fall Corners stamp set, which is perfect for pretty autumn cards.

I stamped out one of the corners from the Fall Corners stamp set. There are 3 pumpkin arrangements in this set, along with additional images. I coloured the image with copic markers, using fun non-traditional colours for the pumpkins. I die cut the image with the coordinating die, adding two more layers behind for dimension.

For my background, I blended pumice stone distress oxide ink over the previously released Woodgrain Circle stencil. I’m using a 4.75″ card base and blended the pattern directly onto this.

I used the previously released Stitched Strips dies to cut some pearlescent card in autumnal colours, adhering them on to my card base. I then added the Fall Corners image over the top.

For my sentiment, I used the new Falling Leaves stamp set. I heat embossed the large ‘Autumn’ word onto pearlescent copper card, using white embossing powder. I die cut it out with the coordinating die, again adding a couple of die cut layers behind for dimension.

I stamped an accompanying sentiment from the Falling Leaves stamp set directly on the card base, then adhered the die cut word above.

To finish, I adhered a few Espresso jewels around the sentiment. These are my favourite jewels for autumn projects.

I hope you enjoyed these cards using this fun set. Join us tomorrow for a look at what else is coming in the September 13th release!

Hello hello! It’s Leica here today and I have a sneak peek of a Thanksgiving card featuring images from the new Woodland Thanks Stamp Set, available on September 13th. These botanical images are absolutely gorgeous and can be used for any occasion. 

For this card, I cut a 5″ square panel in yellow cardstock and ink blended the bottom with Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Ink. I also cut a 4.5″ square in white cardstock and ink blended the center with Festive Berries and the top and bottom with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink. I splattered some water for an oxidized effect and added black and white dots using gel pens. I then adhered the smaller panel to the larger one. For the center of the card, I cut a 1″ strip and ink blended with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink and foam mounted it to the pink/red panel. 

Next, I stamped the images with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on 110lb white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers – E49/47/44/43/42, G99/46/43, R39/37/35, YR23/18/13, YR07/04/02. I then tucked in and adhered the leaves behind the brown strip. The Thankful greeting is also from the same Woodland Thanks Stamp Set and I love that it has a coordinating die. I cut additional pieces to stack up for dimension. I then stamped Happy Thanksgiving on a strip of yellow cardstock and glued it under the brown strip. Lastly, I cut a white 5″ square, scored at the .25″ mark, and adhered it to the card panel to finish my card.

I hope that you enjoyed seeing my card for today! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a sneak peek at a few of the new stencils and word dies coming to Pretty Pink Posh on August 10th. 

My first card uses the fun new Candy Background Stencil. I started my card by creating a background with the Simple Strips Dies and colored cardstock. I then sprayed the back of the Candy Background Stencil with Pixie Spray and attached it to my panel. Next, I used a blending sponge and applied white pigment ink to my panel. I love the look of the pigment ink on the colored strips. 

For my sentiment I used the new Trick or Treat Script die set. I die cut the sentiment three times and stacked them together before attaching them to the center of my panel. I then stamped, colored and die cut a few of the candies from the new Halloween Wreath set. I thought the little candies coordinated well with the candy background. Lastly, I attached the candies and card panel to my A2 card base with foam adhesive to finish my card.  

My next card uses the new Spooky Sky Stencils. 

The Spooky Sky Stencil Pack is a 3 pack of stencils that are so fun and easy to layer to create a Halloween sky. I used blending brushes and dye ink to create my panel. Once I was finished, I splattered my background with a little black and white paint for some added detail. 

For this card, I used the new Happy Halloween Script die to create my sentiment. I ran the die through my die cutting machine with black glittered cardstock 3 times. I then stacked the die cuts together and attached them to the center of my panel. I once again used the Halloween Wreath Set for my smaller images. This time I stamped, colored and die cut a few bats and ghosts from the set to coordinate with my card.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my cards and I can’t wait to share the rest of my release projects with you all.

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the Halloween Circles stamp set. This is a fun addition to the other previously-released circles stamps set: Valentine, Spring, and the exclusive limited-edition Summer Circles. 

Let’s begin with the card! For the background, I first stamped the small images from the new Halloween Wreath stamp set onto a 3.5 x 8.5 inch white cardstock and colored with Copic markers: B000, N5/3/1, V7/15/12, Y18/15/11, YG25/23/21, YR07/04/00. I also stamped the 3 little dots from an older set, Boo stamp set. I then cut the panel with the largest die in the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies.  

Next, I stamped the images from the new Halloween Circles stamp set and used the same Copic markers mentioned above. I then cut with the coordinating die cut. This stamp set has 3 different die cuts included in the coordinating set and they make for beautiful layers and can also be used for tags. I cut the zigzag circles die in colored cardstock and foam mounted the circle stamps. I then adhered the circles onto the card panel.

On a strip of black cardstock, I white heat embossed the Happy Halloween sentiment and the Trick or Treat sentiment from the new Monster Hugs Stamp Set, part of the August 10th release. Lastly, I adhered the sentiment strips between the circles and added another layer of orange cardstock that is cut to 3.5 x 8.5 inches. 

That’s all for this card. I hope that you are excited about the new release and that I’ve inspired you to make Halloween cards! 

Hello hello! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the new Halloween Wreath stamp set, which will be available on August 10th. This wreath stamp also comes with other images and sentiments for all your Halloween projects. If you like this set, make sure to also check out the rest of the Wreath Collection. I’m sure you’ll love them, too! 

For this circle card, I first stamped the wreath in black ink and colored it with Copic markers: B000, N5/3/1, V7/15/12, Y18/15/11, YG25/23/21, YR07/04/00. I cut it with the coordinating die. 

I then cut a 4 inch circle and blended Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink through the Spider Web Stencil. I also cut a 4 inch circle in vellum. I used the vellum to soften the look of the web.

Foam tape is added to the back of the wreath and adhered onto the vellum. I then added glue to the back of the wreath and adhered it to the black web. Next, I  added another layer of color on a 4.5 inch circle by ink blending with Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks. 

On a strip of black cardstock, I white heat embossed the Happy Halloween sentiment and adhered onto the center of the wreath. To finish the card off, I added Glossy Black Jewels for added interest. 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek and that you are inspired to create with this new stamp set. 

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at the new Monster Hugs stamp set from the August release!

Monsters are such fun to colour as there are no rules, no colours you can’t use. Go vivid or muted, use complimentary or contrasting tones… just enjoy the colouring as you really can’t go wrong.

I stamped out lots of the monsters and used my copic markers to colour them in. I chose colours opposite on the colour wheel that complemented each other. I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

For the background, I took a square panel of card and die cut one of the previously released Scene dies from the centre. It’s not only the perfect size window opening for my sentiment, I can also use the outer circle frame on my card.

On a piece of black card, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Monster Hugs stamp set with white embossing powder. I secured this behind the white square card panel, to show through the circle window opening, then added the circle frame around it.

I cut a larger black square panel and adhered this to my white card base, to leave a small white border. I then adhered the white panel on top.

I arranged the monsters around the circle opening and adhered them using foam tape for dimension to finish.

We hope you enjoyed today’s blog post. We’ll see you tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Hi Friends! It is Dana here with a card that will have you dreaming about summer and vacation. Today’s card features two new dies from the June 14th release!

I started my card by creating my background with one of the dies from the Stacked Edges 3 Die Set. I pulled out cardstock in a rainbow of colors and ran the die through my die cutting machine multiple times. I attached the scallops to a piece of paper and then trimmed the edges to make my card panel. Next, I used the Vacation Scene Die to create my focal image. Such a fun die and I love how easy it is to use.

*If you haven’t seen the previous Stacked Edges 1 and Stacked Edges 2 die sets, they are must haves!

Lastly, I used the Summer Surfboards stamp set to stamp my sentiment. I stamped the sentiment onto a black cardstock strip with VersaMark ink and heat set it with white embossing powder. 

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my “summery” card.

Enjoy your day, Dana
