Sneak Peeks

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at some of the new dies from the January 11th release!

For my first card, I’ve used the Birthday Cake die. This fabulous die is A2 in size and makes it so easy to create fun birthday cards.

I cut the die twice from white card, layering them together for dimension. I added a gel print distress oxide background to my card base, created with Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Shaded Lilac inks. I then the layered Birthday Cake die on top.

Colour can be added to the die cut pieces using different colouring mediums. You can also die cut the panel from patterned paper or coloured card for easy paper piecing. I love to use glitter or embossed card too, for some fun texture.

The sentiment is from the new Let’s Party stamp set. I cut the sentiment into a strip and layered it over some card inked with Wilted Violet distress oxide ink. As a finishing touch, I covered the balloons with Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard.

On my second card, I used the new Slimline: Peekaboo Windows die set. Slimline cards are really popular and I’m excited that Pretty Pink Posh is releasing two slimline die sets this month.

The Slimline: Peekaboo Windows set has 6 dies. I love that the largest stitched die is slightly smaller than a standard 8.5 x 3.5 slimline card, leaving a border on my card base. A lovely bonus of this is that it also cuts in my die machine with one pass.

I blended a rainbow of distress oxide inks onto the large die cut panel, then adhered it to my card base.

Next, I cut the smaller panel die along with the 3-window die from white glitter card. This die set is so versatile – there are many ways to use the dies together or separately. There are also 3 square peekaboo dies included in the set.

I cut these dies again, this time from white card. I stamped images from the new Party Days stamp set on the squares cut from the dies. I coloured them with copics and adhered the squares in the spaces on my card.

I have one more card to share today, this time showcasing the new Stitched Gift Card Holders. There are 2 dies in this set. I used the scalloped edge die on my card.

I cut the die from white card and adhered it on another panel of white card. Make sure not to add adhesive on the flaps as these need to lift up to hold a gift card.

I used the new Layered Confetti stencils to add an embossed glitter pattern to my panel. I blended  some picked raspberry distress oxide ink to my card base, then layered the embossed panel on top.

As this is the front of my card, I wanted something to be revealed behind the gift card when it’s removed from the gift card holder. I stamped an image from the new Party Days stamp set, coloured it with copics, then die cut with the coordinating die. I then adhered it on the gift card holder with liquid glue.

The sentiment is from the new Let’s Party stamp set. I stamped it on a strip of card, inked with picked raspberry distress oxide ink, then adhered it across the card to finish.

We hope that you have been inspired by the sneak peeks this week. Join us tomorrow for the reveal of the new products and to order the complete release bundles!

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a sneak peek of a few of the amazing new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on January 11th.

For my first card I am using the Layered Confetti Stencil Set. This is a set of 3 stencils that you can layer together to create a fun background. So quick and easy to create!

For my cupcake, I used the new Valentine Circles Set– so cute! I colored the cupcake with my Copic markers and attached it to my card panel with foam adhesive. Lastly, I used the new Let’s Party Set to stamp my sentiment. 

For my next card I used both the Lattice and the Peonies Stencils. I started my card by using the Lattice Stencil. I applied Distress Oxide Ink in Hickory Smoke to create my card panel. 

Next, I used the Peonies Stencil to create my flowers and leaves. I once again used Distress Oxide Ink for all of my blending. I used Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar for the flowers. For the leaves I used Cracked Pistachio. I then used the Peonies Dies (from a previous release) to die cut all of my flowers and leaves. I love the option of having dies to coordinate with the stencil.

Once my pieces were finished I splattered a little white and black acrylic paint over my flowers and background. 

For my sentiment I used the new All My Love set. Lastly, I added a few Sparkling Clear Jewels to finish my card. 

Thanks for joining me today. I can’t wait to share with you all of my other projects from the release!

Hi everyone! Jane here today sharing a sneak peek of some products from the amazing release that premiers on January 11th! I’m sharing a look at the Let’s Party and Party Days stamp sets.

For my first card, I’m featuring the new Party Days stamp set. To start, I created a background by cutting a few small diamonds from the Stitched Diamonds die. The following card stock colors were used (left to right): oyster grey (Ellen Hutson), blush pink (stamp market), apricot (lawn fawn), peach, melon and citrine (stamp market). Next, I arranged the cut diamonds on a piece of white copy paper and glued them down using liquid glue. Then, I used one of the dies from Slimline: Peekaboo Windows to cut the background piece.

Next, I created a shaker window by cutting a piece of white cardstock using the largest slimline die and medium size die from Slimline: Peekaboo Windows to create a frame. A large piece of acetate was adhered to the back of the panel using liquid glue. The balloons from the new Party Days stamp set was stamped to the front of the acetate frame using black StazOn ink. I drew in the strings using a black fine tip sharpie.

Then, I stamped a sentiment from the new Let’s Party stamp set and adhered it to the lower left of the card front. The card front was lined with double foam tape to create a shaker and I used 6mm and 3mm sparkling clear sequins to fill the shaker. Everything was adhered to a slimline card base and that completes the first card!

My next card uses these sweet cupcake images from the new party days stamp set.

To start, I created a striped panel using the Simple Strips die and same cardstock colors listed above. The strips were adhered to a piece of copy paper using double sided tape. Next, I cut a large circle from white cardstock using  the largest circle from the Scallop Circles die. Using liquid glue, I adhered the circle to my panel with the strips and cut the overlaying edges away using scissors.  

Images from the Party Days stamp set were stamped using copic friendly black ink and colored using the following copic markers:

Cupcake tops: YR61, R32, R11, R01, RV21, RV10, YG23, YG01, Y000
Cupcake wrapper: C3, C0

The sentiment from the new let’s party stamp set was stamped on black cardstock using versamark ink and white heat embossed.  Using my paper trimmer, I cut a strip with the sentiment and adhered it to the circle using foam tape.  The cupcake images were cut using the coordinating die and trimmed down using scissors. Foam tape added to the back of the cupcake and they were adhered to the front of the card.  The circle was adhered to a dot pattern paper (this is dot washi tape on white cardstock) and an A2 piece of oyster grey cardstock by Ellen Hutson.  The entire panel was then adhered to an A2 white card base and that completes the card!

The next card and tag set uses images from the new Party Days and Let’s Party stamp sets. I love how these sets coordinate so well together!  To create the slimline card, I first stamped and white heat embossed a cake from the new Party Days stamp set. The background was then ink blended using the following inks: party dress, bellini, lemongrass, orange twist (all by Catherine pooler), and peach perfect (altenew).  Next, I used a copic marker to add shadows on my cake and a white gel pen used to fill in the white frosting.  

Using the Party Days coordinating dies I cut the image and white center frame. Then, I added strips of colored cardstock to the background and adhered everything down using liquid glue. Next, using versafine black ink, I added confetti from the Let’s Party stamp set. The frame was cut from white card stock using the new Slimline: Scallop Frames die and adhered to the outside of the card.

For the tag, I white heat embossed an image from the Let’s Party stamp set and ink blended it using the same inks listed above. Next, I cut the largest circle from the Scallop Circles die set using white cardstock and adhered it to the outside of the tag. Sentiment from the Let’s Party stamp set was white heat embossed on black card stock and adhered using foam tape. Then, I used a hole puncher to create a hole at the top for the ribbon to slip though and that finishes the tag!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Stop by tomorrow for more sneak peeks of the amazing new release by Pretty Pink Posh!  

Hello, crafty friends, it’s Leica. Today I am sharing two Valentine’s cards using products from the Pretty Pink Posh release that is available January 11th.

First, I made a slimline shaker card. I love that PPP now offers slimline dies, as this card size is still very popular. I took the first 2 large dies from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows die set and cut a frame in white cardstock. For the back panel, I cut a 3.25” x 8.25” cardstock and used the new Lattice stencil in Faded Jeans distressed oxide. I then stamped the scalloped heart from the Valentine Hearts stamp set 5 times and colored with Copic Markers in R35/37/39, B93/91. I turned them into heart balloons by adding strings.

Next, I adhered them to the acetate using foam tape. To make a well for the shaker card, I lined the frame with foam tape and also added foam tape behind the heart balloons so that some of the gems would stay in the top part of the card. The gems I used is Sweetheart Rhinestones. I then stamped the word “Love” from the Valentine Hearts stamp set and die cut with its coordinating die. Lastly, I used glossy accents for the heart-shaped balloons.

The next card is a clean and simple card using the Heart Vines die and All My Love stamp set. First I stamped the heart from the All My Love stamp set and colored with Copic Markers. I then cut the Heart Vines die and left all the pieces together. I taped the heart that I’ve colored behind the Heart Vines die. Next, I glued on the entire piece to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ card base.

For the sentiment, I used the Happy Valentine’s Day stamp from the Love stamp set, embossed onto a black cardstock that I cut using the .25″ strip from the Simple Strips die set, and adhered on the center of the heart. Lastly, I added Glossy Black Jewels for added texture and interest. 

I hope you enjoyed these cards using the new items from the upcoming January 11th release! I had so much fun creating these and I hope you are inspired to make Valentine’s cards for your family and friends!

Hello! Leica here. Today I am sharing a box card featuring the Jungle Background and Woodgrain Circle Stencils from the upcoming June 18th release, along with the Jungle Additions stamp set. 

To start, I created the Lawn Fawn pop-up box as directed, in Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock.  Next, I ink-blended the Jungle Background stencil to the box panels in Picked Raspberry distress oxide. For the bottom of the box, I ink-blended with Vintage Photo distress oxide and used the Woodgrain stencil over it with Ground Espresso. 

These adorable animals are from the Jungle Additions stamp set. I stamped them onto 110lb cardstock, colored with Copic markers, and cut with their coordinating dies. 

I used the following Copic markers:

Giraffe – E43/35/33/31

Snake – YG13/11/01

Hippo – C5/3/0 

Leaves – YG23/21, G67/63 

Flowers – RV25/23/21

For the box inserts, I used green cardstock and topped it with Stitched Leafy Borders in the same color. 

The fun part is creating the scene. Some of the elements are adhered directly onto the inserts and some are foam mounted to add dimension to the scene. 

Lastly, I stamped the “Be Brave” sentiment from the Simple Sayings: Brave stamp set onto a white rectangular cardstock and foam mounted on the front flap of the box card. 

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today and I hope you are inspired.

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at some of the new dies from the June 18th release!

For my first card, I’ve used two new die sets – Stitched Leafy Borders and Simple Strips. There is also a Stitched Strips set in this new release. These sets are so versatile!

I die cut one of the Stitched Leafy Borders from a Nuvo shimmer powder background I created, using Green Parade, Falling Leaves and Atlantis Burst.

I also die cut two Simple Strips in various widths from the same watercolour panel, then adhered these to my card base. I stamped a sentiment from the new Monkey Friends stamp set above the die cut strips.

I copic coloured images from Monkey Friends, using the coordinating dies to cut them out. I hooked the tail of the monkey around the Leafy Border, then adhered the border to my card with liquid adhesive. I used foam tape behind the monkey for dimension and added a banana for him to hold.

On my second card, I used the new Nature Essentials die. This fabulous die cuts a frame and different scene building elements and frame in one pass.

I die cut the Nature Essentials die twice from white card. I adhered one of the white frames to a card base, ink blended with distress oxides. I used more distress oxide inks to add colour to the grass and ground pieces, then layered these on my card base. I used foam tape for one of the grass pieces to add dimension.

Next, I used some light brown copic markers to add some colour to the trees. I also die cut some leaves to add to the scene from the shimmer powder background I used on my first card.

I stamped a sentiment and added some cute critters from the new Jungle Friends stamp set, coloured with copic markers, to complete my safari scene.

I have one more card to share today, this time showcasing the new Hi Shaker die. I love the hexagonal shape and the large sentiment.

I die cut the Hi Shaker from a white card panel to create a window opening. Before creating my shaker, I stamped a sentiment from the new Simple Sentiments stamp set along an angle of the die cut.

I adhered a piece of acetate behind the panel and added a layer of foam tape to create my shaker area. I added some of the beautiful new seed beads, then sealed the shaker with a piece of patterned paper, before adding the panel to a card base.

Next, I die cut the Hi Shaker twice more to get a total of 3 layers – two from white card and a top layer from white pearlescent card. I adhered these onto the acetate window.

To finish my card, I stamped and copic coloured a sweet tortoise from the new Jungle Additions stamp set, adding him to the card with foam tape.

I hope that you enjoyed these three cards and a look at the fun new dies. Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Hi Friends! This is Angelica and today I am sharing a look at the new sentiment set, Simple Sentiments, from the upcoming June 18th release.

This stamp set has many occasions sentiments in it: Thank you, Birthday, Anniversaries, Sympathy, etc. I love pairing heat-embossed sentiments with word die cuts, and that’s what I did for today’s cards. I used Hello Friend Script Die for my first card’s die-cut word, and a matching sentiment from the new stamp set. The background is strips of colored card stock that I die cut, using the new Simple Strips dies (releasing June 18th). I glued the strips in random order onto a small card stock panel, and trimmed the edges when I was done. To keep the cards simple, I added dry-embossed backgrounds.

I used the new Medium Polka Dots stencil (releasing June 18th) and my die-cut machine to dry-emboss the card background. I love doing this for my clean and simple cards. The texture is fun, and doesn’t take away from the bright stripes.

My second card is made the same way, this time using the Thank You Script Die, and matching sentiment.

I die-cut the words three times, and stacked and glued them together. I picked black card stock to heat-emboss the sentiments on. I love the balance black brings to these bright stripes.

The Simple Sentiments stamp set is definitely a well-rounded stamp set to have in your collection.

I hope I have helped with ideas on ways to use it. Come back tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Hi friends! This is Angelica and I’m really excited to share a couple sneak peeks with you today! I am showcasing the new Jungle Friends, and Jungle Additions stamp sets, as well as a few other new products in the June 18th release.

The zebra and Elephant are from Jungle Friends. I also used the turtle from Jungle Additions. I colored them with Copic markers, and used the coordinating dies to die-cut them. The background is made with the new Nature’s Essentials die. This unique die gives you several elements to make a scene. I blended Distress Oxide inks over the die-cut paper. I white heat-embossed the Jungle Friends sentiment onto my background card stock, and blended Dried Marigold, Spun Sugar, and Picked Raspberry distress oxide inks for the sky. I finished the card with a stitched frame from the Nature Essentials Die.

My next card is a clean and simple card featuring the adorable hippo from Jungle Additions stamp set.

I used warm Gray Copic markers to color him. The background I made with the new Layered Leaves and Flowers stencil set. I followed my die-cut machine’s instructions to dry-emboss the card front with the leaves stencil.

I attached the hippo to the card with thin foam squares, and finished the card with a sentiment from the new Simple Sentiments stamp set.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope I have helped get you ready for the new release! Happy crafting!

Hi Friends! Jane here and I’m so happy to be sharing sneak peeks of the new summer Pretty Pink Posh release that will be available on June 18th! Here are a few cards using the Monkey Friends stamp set and coordinating die sets along with a few other new items!  

For this card, I white heat embossed images of the ferns from the new Jungle Friends and Jungle Additions stamp sets and ink blended them using peacock feathers, cracked pistachio and twisted citron inks. Tombow ABT colors: 407, 195, 133 used to fill in the leaves with a water brush.  

The cute monkey was colored using copics and images from Birthday Friends and Party Friends used for the hat and cupcake. The sentiment is from the new Simple Sentiments stamp set (releasing on June 18th) and it was white heat embossed on black cardstock. 

The next card shows an adorable monkey family hanging out on a tree branch at sunset. The little monkey is being taught about being brave so, this sentiment from the new simple sayings brave is perfect! The monkey family was stamped using memento tuxedo black ink and colored using the following copics: E25, E34, E53, E41 and E50. RV21 and RV00 added to the cheeks. Bananas: Y17 and Y02. Leaves: BG49, YG06 and YG01.

Background was created by blending wilted violet, picked raspberry, dried marigold and mustard seed distress oxide inks. Die cut used are from the new Stitched Leafy Borders and Nature Essentials (releasing on June 18th).  

My last card uses a new Jungle Background Stencil (releasing on June 18th). The background was inked at the edges using Catherine pooler inks: all that jazz and lime ricky. Elements from the Nature Essentials and Stitched Leafy Borders die sets added to create my scene. The little monkey was colored using copics and hung from an ink splattered vine.
