Sneak Peeks

Hello crafty friends. Happy New Year! It’s Yoonsun here to share a couple of my happy birthday cards with the new dies from the January 9th release. I’m featuring the Birthday Frame, Happy Birthday to You Script and Balloon Shaker dies.

I started by die cutting the Birthday Frame from watercolor paper. I then inked some Distress inks to the Birthday Frame in rainbow order using blender brush. After inking up, I applied water to lighten colors.

Once the frame was dry, I adhered the acetate behind the frame – made a shaker window panel. I added sequins to the center of the gray card – I used Mini Sparkling Clear Flowers, Mini Gold Star Confetti, 6mm Sweetheart Mix and Sparkling Clear Mix. I then covered the birthday frame over the card. For the sentiment, I die cut the word Happy Birthday to You from white cardstock, then added it to the center of the card (as shown in the picture) using foam tape.

For my second birthday card, I used the Balloon Shaker die and the Birthday Borders stamp set. For the background panel, I die cut stitched rectangle panel from red cardstock using the Stitched Notes die. I hear embossed the birthday borders with clear embossing powder, then added white pigment ink all over the panel.

I die cut the Balloon Shaker from white cardstock, I die cut a bow from the Twine and Bows die set from glitter gold cardstock. I mounted all elements as shown in the picture using foam tape, and then embellished with a few Sparkling Clear Mix.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Stop by tomorrow for a look at the new stencils!

Hugs,

Hello, Gemma here with a sneak peek to share with you all. Today I have two cards featuring the new Party Friends stamp set, along with the Birthday Borders stamp set. These sets work so well together.

For my first card, I began by heat embossing the candle border from the Birthday Borders stamp set repeatedly on a piece of patterned paper, using white embossing powder.

Next, I stamped and copic coloured the cute koala and birthday cake image from the Party Friends stamp set, using colours to echo the background paper. I then used the coordinating die to cut it out.

I cut a panel of white card, layering it on to a piece of yellow card to give a small border. I stamped a sentiment from the Party Friends stamp set. I layered the patterned paper and the card panels to my card base, then I adhered the koala and cake image using foam tape. I finished with some jewels from the Valentines jewel mix.

For my second card, I used another border from the Birthday Borders stamp set to create a clean and simple design.

I selectively stamped a section of the border on a white card panel. This is easy to do – just place some low tack purple tape over the part of the image you don’t want to stamp, ink the stamp, then remove the tape before stamping.

I used some copic markers to colour the images, leaving the ribbons white so they stand out against the presents.

I stamped a sentiment from the Party Friends stamp set below the presents.

Before adding the panel to me card base, I used my BG13 copic marker to add colour to the edges of my card base. I finished by adding some Pearl White jewels around the presents.

Hi Everyone! It’s Melody here today and I am kicking off the new year with sneak peek at the new Large Floral Hearts Stamp Set being released on January 9th. I have two cards to share with you that I created with the stamp set and the Large Floral Hearts coordinating dies. 

I used the two heart stamps and their coordinating dies to to give you some ideas for Valentine’s Day cards. I love that this stamps can be used for so many different occasions throughout the year! 

PPP released a similar smaller version of the stamp set last year, the Floral Hearts Stamp Set. Here is how the two stamp sets compare in size. You can see that the new Large Floral Hearts Stamp Set is much larger and will be the centerpiece of your project. 

Here’s a closer look at my first card. I stamped the heart and flowers in black ink, colored with Copic Markers, and then die cut with the coordinating dies. Next I cut a piece of white cardstock for the card front, sponged on Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass, and used the heart die to cut a heart directly into the card front. Then I inlayed the flower heart into the card front. Behind the heart I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set in Versamark Ink on red cardstock and embossed with white embossing powder. 

At the bottom of the card I stamped the heart border from the new Love Borders Stamp Set in red ink. I added another sentiment from the stamp set. Then I arranged the extra flowers around the heart and finished off the card with a two Lemon Drop Jewels. 

On my second card I stamped the other floral heart in the stamp set on white cardstock. I brushed the cardstock lightly with pale pink ink and then colored with Copic Marker. I die cut the heart and layered it on a large heart die cut. I added a few more flowers around the heart. Next I cut a piece of white cardstock with the largest die in the Stitched Notes Dies and stamped another sentiment in the set. 

I used the Wide Stripes Stencil to add pattern to card front, added a piece of lace, and few Flamingo Pink Jewels. 

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to visit tomorrow for another sneak peek of the January 9th release!

Hi friends, this is Angelica, and I’m sharing sneak peaks of the new Love stamp set, which is in the upcoming January 9th release.

For my first card, I started with my background. I used the new Layered Hearts stencils and the following Distress Oxide Inks: Aged Mahogany, Victorian Velvet, and Tattered Rose. I blended Victorian Velvet and a touch of Aged Mahogany around the edges, then used the stencils to ink-blend on the hearts. Before removing Layer B stencil, I brushed the hearts with Ranger Perfect Pearl powder for shimmer.

I used the new Love coordinating dies to die-cut four different pink/red tone card stock. I stacked and glued the letters together, then attached them to the heart panel. I added the panel to a card base with foam adhesive, and added a stamped sentiment and colored heart from the new Love stamp set. I brushed the letters and colored heart with a shimmer pen for extra sparkle, and added shimmer and added Crystal Glaze to the heart to finish the card.

My second card I am sharing today is a bright shaker card.

I used the small accessory stamps from the stamp set to make my own background. This is one of my favorite card making techniques to do. I stamped all of the images onto white card stock, then trimmed the panel. I used Love Shaker die die-cut a window. (I did this before coloring so I didn’t color more than what was necessary.) Before coloring the images with Copic markers, I added a drop shadow to each image with W3 and W1 markers.

To make the shaker element, I added 1/8″ Scor tape around the backside of the die-cut window. I attached a piece of acetate onto the adhesive to close the window. I turned the panel around and added the Love shaker die cut to the front. I turned the panel back around and added thin foam adhesive strips around the window.. I filled the window with Iridescent Heart Confetti, and closed the window with a another piece of acetate. I added foam adhesive all over the back of the panel, and attached it to a red card base. I used a shimmer pen and Crystal Glaze to add sparkle and shine to finish the card.

Stop by tomorrow for a brand new sneak peek of the new release!
