Sneak Peeks

Hi! It is Melody on the blog. Today I am going to give you a sneak peek at the new 4th of July stamp set and 4th of July coordinating dies, which release on May 3rd. Makes me look forward to the summer months ahead! 

I started by cutting a piece of kraft cardstock for the card front and stamping fireworks in red and blue, leaving room to stamp the white fireworks. 

I gave the red and blue ink a chance to dry, then rubbed a powder tool applicator over the whole card so that no embossing powder would stick where I didn’t want it. I stamped the rest of the fireworks in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. 

I stamped the banners and rockets in the stamp set in black ink and colored with Copic Markers, adding a few details with a white gel pen. I stamped America in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I die cut all the images with the 4th of July coordinating dies. 

I die cut the sentiment with the Simple Strips Dies and attached all my elements to the card front. I finished off the card with a little bling with a few Pearl White Jewels.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you have enjoyed a peek at the new release!

Hello, crafty friends! Leica here and I’m excited to share a couple cards I made using new stamp sets that release on May 3rd. Today, I am featuring the Spring Circles Stamp Set and Flower Bouquets Stamp Set.

For the first project, I made a slimline card using the Spring Circles stamp set and coordinating dies. To begin, I cut a 3.5” x 8.5” panel and inked with Tattered Rose and Victorian Velvet distress oxides. I then cut 3 scallop circles from Valentine Circles dies and inked the first one in Tattered Rose. For the 2nd circle, I inked in the top half with Tattered Rose and the bottom with Victorian Velvet. The 3rd circle was inked with Victorian Velvet. 

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Spring Circles stamp set. I adhered each one to the scallop circles. 

I then white heat embossed the sentiments from the Simple Sentiments stamp set on a strip of black cardstock. Lastly, I adhered all the elements down onto my card panel. 

The Spring Circles coordinating dies come with a unique piece that I used to make a matching tag for my card. I hope you like this bonus! 

For the second card, I stamped, colored, and cut the beautiful flowers from the Flower Bouquets stamp set.

I then cut a 3.5” x 8.5” panel and inked with Wilted Violet, Milled Lavender, and Spun Sugar. To add interest, I sprayed some water and splattered acrylic paint on the panel. Next, I cut the new Slimline: Floral Cover die set in white cardstock. I then cut the sentiment from the You Are Special Script die set in gold glitter cardstock. 

Next, I cut a white cardstock to go behind the floral cover die to make the gold sentiment stand out more. I then adhered it onto the inked panel. The floral bouquets were adhered with liquid glue and the one in the pot was foam mounted for dimension. I thought my card needed something else, so I added the cute little birds from the Spring Robins stamp set.

When I finished the card, I had an extra image that didn’t make it on my card, so I made a matching tag. 

I hope that you like my cards and tags and that I’ve inspired you to create with these 2 beautiful stamp sets. 

Thanks for stopping by, join us tomorrow for another sneak peek of the May 3rd release!

Hi everyone, Jane here! I’m so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at the amazing new die sets which will be released on March 8th! Be sure to stop by the blog every day this week for sneak peeks from the Spring release!

My first card features the new Easter Basket die and the Fancy Easter Script dies. To create this scene, I first cut a piece of Bristol cardstock to 8.25 inches by 3.25 inches.  Next, I used various shades of pink, orange and yellow inks to blend a soft background using a large blender brush.  Then, the flower images from the new Spring Flowers stencil were ink blended  to create a faux pattern paper look on the background. A white border was cut from white cardstock using the largest Slimline: Scallop Frames die.

To create the cute images, I stamped images from the Bunny Friends stamp set  and the new Spring Eggs stamp set on Bristol smooth cardstock. The images were then colored using a small water brush and the following Tombow ABT colors:  bunny (992, 942), cheeks (803), eggs/flowers (243, 133, 703, 873, 055, 803, 946). The images were cut using the coordinating dies and set aside.  

To create the basket, I die cut the Easter Basket from white cardstock and lighty ink blended one edge using the same colors as the background.  Next, all the images were arranged on my card front and adhered using liquid glue and foam tape. White gel pen used to add details to the images and basket.

The Fancy Easter Script was cut using colored cardstock and stacked three times to create dimension and adhered to the card front using liquid glue.  The card was then adhered to a slimline card base and that completes the card!

The next card features the new Spring Corner Frame die.  To create this card, I first ink blended an A2 piece of Bristol smooth cardstock using the following distress oxide inks: kitsch flamingo, spun sugar, worn lipstick, tattered rose, twisted citron and cracked pistachio. The Spring Corner Frame die was then used to die cut the blended background.  Thin strips of foam tape were attached to the die cut piece and then adhered to a white A2 card base.

Images from the new Spring Robins stamp set were stamped using Versafine black ink on Bristol cardstock.  The following Tombow ABT colors used to color the images: nest (977, 912), eggs (800), birds (910, 761, 403, 243), cheeks (803).  

The images were cut using the coordinating dies and adhered to the card base using liquid glue.  I did use a bit of foam tape to prop up the nest with the eggs.  Lastly, I used a stamp positing tool to stamp the sentiment “just a little note” on the card base and that completes the card!

For my last card, I’m featuring the new Pretty Petals Background die and the new Mom/Mother scripts dies.  

To create this card, I first die cut an A2 piece of white cardstock using the Pretty Petals Background die.  Then, I die cut several more pieces of colored cardstock and saved the interior pieces. Card stocks used here (upper left moving to lower right): Bazzil pale rose, Lawn Fawn ballet slippers, Lawn Fawn Apricot, PaperTrey Ink Berry Sorbet, Stamp Market Peony.  

Liquid glue used to adhere the outline piece to an A2 white card base. Then, each piece of colored cardstock was adhered to the card front using liquid glue, sort of like a puzzle!  

After all the pieces were adhered, I used the “Mother” die to cut the word three times and stacked it using liquid glue to create dimension.  Then, I die cut a sheet of metallic card stock (Memory Box 24 6×6 inch sheets) and glued it to the top for shine.  The sentiment “thanks for all you do” is from the new Mom stamp set which was featured earlier in the week!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Stay tuned- we’ll be revealing the full collection in picture form tomorrow so you can start to create your shopping lists!

Hi Friends! It is Dana here today sharing a sneak peek of a few of the amazing new stencils that are part of the new March 8th release at Pretty Pink Posh. There are six new stencils being released and today I will focus on two of them. 

For my first card, I am using the Scallop Edges Stencil– it’s a two piece stencil pack but I’ll be using “Layer A”. I am in love with the design of this stencil. It is so fun, easy to use, and I love all the possibilities.

I started out by creating my card panel. I used dye ink and a blending brush to apply the ink to my card panel. I began at the top of the panel and added one color at a time, moving the stencil down as a new color was added. 

For my sentiment, I used the new Fancy Easter Script Die. Don’t you just love the size and font? I ran it through my die cutting machine three times and stacked the die cuts together to give them a little added dimension. 

To finish my card I trimmed my panel down and attached it to an A2 card base. I then used a little liquid glue to attach my sentiment. Lastly, I added a few Sparkling Clear Jewels to finish my card. 

My next card uses the Spring Flowers Stencil. I am in love with this stencil! It creates the sweetest background. 

I started my card panel by using stencil B to apply green dye ink to all of the leaves and stems. Next, I used the A stencil to add color to the flowers. I used post it notes to mask off each flower and then used a small blending brush to add my color.

For my sentiment and small flower I used the new Easter Bunnies Set. I stamped my sentiment onto the square die from Party Days coordinating dies. I then ink blended green ink onto the scallop frame before attaching it to my card panel. Don’t you just love this background? It just makes me smile. I think it will make the sweetest baby card too.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my cards and I can’t wait to share with you all of the fun projects I have been working on for this release. 

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at some sweet stamp sets from the March 8th release!

I used the new Easter Bunnies and Spring Borders stamp sets on my first card. These two sets work really well together.

On coloured card stock, I embossed two of the Spring Borders with white embossing powder. I adhered these to a square card base.

Next, I stamped and copic coloured images from the new Easter Bunnies stamp set, then die cut them with the coordinating dies.

I cut a panel of white card and adhered some thin gold card strips along the edges. I then stamped the word ‘wishes’ from a sentiment in the Simple Sentiments stamp set. Above this, I adhered the beautiful Easter die cut word from the new Fancy Easter Script die set.

I added this panel to my card, then my images on top, using foam tape for the bunny, bow and a couple of the flowers. Some Nuvo white blizzard glitter drops to the centre of the flowers adds a little sparkle.

For my second card, I used the new Spring Robins stamp set. I was inspired by a Christmas card I made last year and I recreated the scene for Spring. I stamped images from Spring Robins, along with an Easter egg from Easter Bunnies. I coloured the images with copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies.

For the background, I die cut the Mini Storybook 1 die from a square piece of white card. I adhered this panel to a square card base.

I used the same die to cut a piece of patterned paper. On the rectangle piece, I embossed a sentiment from the Easter Bunnies stamp set with gold embossing powder. I then adhered these inner pieces on to my card.

I added some gold thread to the Easter eggs before securing them behind the tree. I then added the images to my card.

I finished by adding some Nuvo white blizzard glitter drops to the centre of the flowers.

Have you been enjoying the sneak peeks so far? There are so many great products coming and there is even more inspiration coming. Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Hi everyone, it’s Jane! I’m so excited to be sharing two cards using the new Mom stamp set and coordinating die set which are part of the new Spring Release! They will be available for purchase on March 8th at Pretty Pink Posh.

My first card was inspired by a Japanese Starbucks coffee mug I saw on Pinterest.  The colors and sakura designs from Japan are so beautiful, so I thought I would try and recreate them here.

To create the first card, I cut a panel of Bristol smooth cardstock using the largest slimline die from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows dies. The panel was then ink blended using the following distress oxide ink colors: wilted violet, seedless preserves, picked raspberry, kitsch flamingo, worn lipstick, dried marigold and tattered rose.  Next, I used the flowers from Layered Leaves & Flowers stencils and the corresponding distress ink colors to blend in the floral background. A few drops of water was splattered on the background using a thin paint brush to add texture. 

Next, I stamped the letters from the new Mom stamp set using versamark ink and white heat embossed the images.  The letters were then cut the letters for “MOM” using the Mom coordinating dies.  Foam tape added to the die cut letters for dimension. The intricate details were filled in with a white gel pen and coordinating copic marker colors. “Happy mother’s day” sentiment was stamped with black ink on white cardstock and adhered to the front of the letters with liquid glue.

The beautiful floral images from this set were white heat embossed on a piece of ink blended cardstock (I used the same color inks as for the flowers-listed above).  The images were then die cut using the coordinating Mom die cuts and foam mounted to the front of the card. The entire panel was then mounted to a slimline card base and that finishes this card!

My next card features the same floral stamps from the Mom stamp set. To create this card, I first stamped the flowers and butterflies using copic-friendly black ink on white cardstock. The images were copic colored and die cut using the coordinating dies.  

Using a circle die, I die cut a circle from white cardstock.  Next, I stamped the sentiment “happy mother’s day” from the Mom stamp set. For the background, I used white cardstock and the new Pretty Petals Background die and layered them together to create a pretty textured background for my card.  

The center circle image was then adhered to the center of the card using foam tape for dimension. A combination of liquid glue and foam tape were used to arrange the small die cut images in a wreath pattern. Pretty Pink Posh jewels (sea glass, pansy purple, pink blush, and buttercream) added for extra sparkle!  The entire card was then adhered to a white A2 card base and that completes the card!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you were inspired by these Mother’s Day cards.

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share with you a sneak peek of the beautiful new Daffodils stamp set. Daffodils are one of the first joyful signs that spring is on the way and they always make me smile.

I started by creating a background for my card. I blended twisted citron and mowed lawn distress oxide inks on to a white card panel, keeping the ink the lightest towards the centre.

Once this panel was dry, I layered the Layered Bokeh stencils over the top and blended white pigment ink through each one in turn.

I stamped a sentiment from the new Easter Bunnies stamp set. I used Versafine Onyx Black ink, as it stamps well over the oxide ink background. I then adhered the background on a card base.

Next, I stamped images from the new Daffodils stamp set. I coloured them with copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies. In the stamp set, there are images of individual flowers and also a trio of flowers, so it’s easy to make a bouquet of daffodils.

I adhered the leaves and stems directly on my background, followed by a single daffodil flower. Before adding the trio of daffodils, I added a white glitter card frame onto the card. This frame is from the Heart Vines die.

I then adhered the trio of daffodils with foam tape, overlapping the frame slightly. To finish, I added some Pearl White jewels, along with some Nuvo White Blizzard glitter drops to the centre of the daffodils.

This stamp set is so perfect for Spring and Easter. Plus, there is a beautiful stencil that coordinates with it and also works with the coordinating dies.

Thank you for stopping by. We’ll see you tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Hello, crafty friends! Leica here today with a sneak peek of the Pretty Pink Posh March 8th release. I have an A2-sized Mother’s Day card to share, using stamps from the new Floral Corners stamp set. I just love these florals and the design possibilities with this set are endless. Make sure to follow PPP socials for more inspiration from the design team.

Let’s begin! For the first layer, I die cut the new Pretty Petals Background die in white cardstock. You can hardly see it in this photo, but I promise, in person it adds a beautiful texture. The next layer is the rectangular piece from the Stitched Notes die, ink blended with Picked Raspberry and Tattered Rose distress oxides. I then stamped the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment (from the Mom stamp set) and added black dots with black gel pen.  And finally, I added a scallop frame that was inked in Picked Raspberry to frame the sentiment.

I then stamped the two floral corners stamps on Neenah 110lb white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. Next, I cut the floral elements with their coordinating dies 

I adhered all the layers down onto the card base with liquid glue. The floral corners were foam mounted for added dimension. Last but not the least, I added Sparkling Clear Jewels here and there to complete this beautiful Mother’s Day card.

These floral stamps are great for any occasion and make the perfect embellishments for your cards and other projects. I hope my card inspires you to use this beautiful stamp set.

Have a great day! Be sure to visit tomorrow for another look at a new stamp set coming in the March 8th release!

Hi friends! Tammy here today sharing a sneak peek of some of the adorable new products coming to Pretty Pink Posh on March 8th!

For my project, I created a card and matching gift tags, featuring the brand new set, Spring Eggs, such a wonderful set filled with beautifully designed eggs! I combined my project with the Easter Bunnies Stamp Set, since they pair so perfectly together!

To create the slimline card, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock using the largest die from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies. I ink blended the background with Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks, then I splattered on some watered down Picked Raspberry with a paintbrush to create some interest. Next, I added a 1 inch strip of cardstock, ink blended with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn to create a grassy border. I then added a white scalloped border using the Slimline: Scallop Frames Dies.

I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets: Spring Eggs Stamp Set/ Coordinating Dies and Easter Bunnies Stamp Set/ Coordinating Dies

I arranged the images onto my card, using foam tape on some for dimension. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in black ink to complete my card.

I created some gift tags to coordinate with my card. I absolutely love making handmade gift tags; it’s such a fun way to add a special touch to any gift! To create my tags, I began by cutting two tags from Bristol smooth cardstock using the Scallop Square Tags Dies. I taped off the edges of the tag with washi tape and ink blended the backgrounds with Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo, and Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Oxide inks. Next, I added a grassy border cut from the Nature Essential Dies, and ink blended it with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks. I arranged the colored images from Spring Eggs and Easter Bunnies onto the tags and stamped the sentiment in black ink. I punched a small hole in the tags and added some green bakers twine to finish up my project.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Join us tomorrow for a new day of inspiration with the upcoming March 8th release!
