Sneak Peeks

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at two of the new stencils that will be released. It was hard to pick which two to create with first, but I absolutely love the new Half Stars Stencils and Layered Birthday Wreath Stencils so here are two cards with these stencil sets to inspire you today!

New release will be available February 7th

For the first card, I knew I wanted to use the Half Stars Stencils as I loved sharing the Half Hearts Stencils last month! I wanted to go with Earth tones for this card, so for the (A) stencil I did every other column of stars with Distress Oxides in Mustard Seed and Peeled Paint. Then I used Breakup Blue Lunar Paste for the (B) stencil.

When the stenciled stars were dry, I trimmed the panel to 4×5-1/4” and adhered it to a panel of dark blue cardstock cut to A2 in size, 4-1/4×5-1/2”. I used new dies from this upcoming release, Party Hats Dies and Happy Birthday Shadow Dies, to add some fun birthday elements to the card in coordinating colors. For some extra shine, I used some Mossy Green Confetti around the party hats!

Onto the brighter, second card! I couldn’t figure out the color scheme I wanted to use to stencil the Layered Birthday Wreath Stencils, so I just used all of them! For all three layers of the stencil, I used pinks, oranges, yellow, greens and blues of Distress Oxides. I used small brushes for the tinier details and masked when I needed to to get all the details colored in.

I really could not bear to cut any part of this stenciled wreath away, so I made a big card! My card base measures 5-1/2×5-1/2” and I used a 1/4″ corner rounder. I layered on a piece of blue cardstock with the same dimensions, before adding my stenciled panel. I trimmed it down to 5-1/4×5-1/4″ and used the same corner rounder.

Using coordinating colored cardstock, I cut out Birthday Candles and layered them together onto the card with foam adhesive. I also hot foiled the Happy Birthday Hot Foil Plates with gold foil and used the coordinating Happy Birthday Shadow Dies to cut the sentiment out. The sentiment was also popped up with foam adhesive under the candles.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of the new Half Stars Stencils and Layered Birthday Wreath Stencils. I hope you’re excited for this new release just as I was to receive these stencils to give you inspiration today!

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today, and I am excited to give you a sneak peek of the fabulous new dies releasing this month. There are so many!  I know you are going to love them. 

New release will be available February 7th

I am a HUGE fan of the Big Valentine Cupcake Die Set that released last month, and I was delighted to see another cupcake release this month in the same fabulous size and scale. The Big Birthday Cupcake Dies have so much to offer!  You’ll find a new cupcake shape, new cupcake wrap pattern, fabulous banner + sentiment, and fun extras.   

Using the new Big Birthday Cupcake Dies, I created a yummy cupcake with chocolate ganache and sprinkles on top.  And of course, a little birthday candle (from the Interactive Cake Dies) to top it off.  

The background was created using the Star Cover Plate and the Pierced Stars Plate. (Love them both!) Two of the star cut outs from the Star Cover Plate made perfect little cookies to sweeten the card just a bit more. And since this card is going to my niece, I personalized one of the new Party Balloons with her age by using the number dies found in the Graduation Mug Additions.

The finishing touch was the fabulous banner from the Big Birthday Cupcake Dies. 

Okay, I have to admit that when I first saw the Big Birthday Cupcake Dies, I immediately wanted to turn them into a giant stack of ice cream…so I did!  Say hello to card number two!

The only thing I needed to find was an ice cream cone…aaand the largest party hat in the new Party Hat Dies worked fabulously! :) (And just FYI, the Fruit Bowl Dies would be perfect for making an ice cream sundae. Definitely on my list of to-do’s!)

To create the cone, I die cut the party hat, and then I ran it back through the machine twice using the cupcake liner die to add the stitched detail. By rotating the die in the opposite direction with each pass I was able to create an overlapping stitched pattern.  The cute sentiment is the script portion of the new Happy Birthday Shadow Die. 

I also added glossy accents which makes the chocolate fudge dripping down look good enough to eat. This giant stack of ice cream wouldn’t be complete without a cherry on top, so I added one courtesy of the Valentine Mug Additions. Finally, the previously released Layered Confetti Stencils seemed the perfect way to add a little somethin’ to the background. 

For my last card I wanted to give you a peek of as many of the new die sets as I could, so I used them to create a fun birthday background.  This also shows how beautifully and seamlessly the dies all work together.

This card showcases the new Birthday Candles, Party Balloons, and Party Hats all of which come in a variety of shapes and designs, many with stitched details.  I also added stars from the Star Cover Plate as well as a small stitched star from the Big Birthday Cupcake Dies. 

For my sentiment I used the Happy Birthday Shadow dies again, but this time I used both layers. 

Thanks so much for joining me today!  I hope that my cards have gotten you excited for the may new dies releasing this month.  I’m curious…which die is your favorite??

Make sure to come back tomorrow to see more sneak peeks. You are going to love what’s coming up next!

Hello everyone!  This is Melissa and I’m here to share a couple of cards made with the adorable Patterned Presents stamps and coordinating dies.

New release will be available February 7th

On my first card, I stacked a trio of stamped and die cut Patterned Presents to adorn the center of my card.  I layered them over a die cut, vellum Wonky Stitched Square that was layered over a die cut Fall Circles bracket.  I love how vellum softens everything and creates gorgeous layering too!

My background was created using the darling Pierced Stars Plate that I had sponged yellows, pinks, and aquas over.  I then added a scalloped, decorative pop of pink patterned paper across the bottom of my card, cut using the Eyelet Borders dies. 

My sentiment is from the new Birthday Train stamp and coordinating dies and is layered over the cutest banner, cut using the new, Big Birthday Cupcake die set. This is a must-have die collection, with so many possibilities!  I added in a felt die cut bow topping my Patterned Presents and felt stars, all cut using the Big Birthday Cupcake die set. Such a fun card to create!

I’ve used the sweet Patterned Presents once again on my second card, beginning with the fun, and oh, so cute, Layered Birthday Wreath Stencils. I stenciled these images on a die cut Stitched Torn Rectangle, all of which created the most fun background for my Patterned Presents.  

I die cut my Patterned Presents from patterned paper and layered them over Scallop Ovals die cuts. I love that the Patterned Presents can be stamped and colored in, stamped in with solid colors, or die cut from patterned paper. There are so many fun ways to use this delightful stamp set!

To finish, I added in two sentiments, one uses the Patterned Presents stamp set and is stamped on a die cut Mini Tags and adhered at the top corner of my card. I added a die cut star from the Big Birthday Cupcake dies and a banner that contains my second sentiment, which is from the Party Time stamp set. I love how all of these creative February products combine so perfectly together…such a party!

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here!  First,  Happy 10^th Birthday to Pretty Pink Posh! I’m thrilled to share these sneak peeks using the Birthday Cupcakes stamp set with coordinating dies and Birthday Train stamp set with coordinating dies!  The images are fun and coordinate well with past products.  I absolutely adore these products!

New release will be available February 7th

For my first card I stamped, colored,  and die cut the images from the Birthday Cupcakes stamp set. I colored the images with Olo alcohol markers and added some white gel pen highlights.  For my background I took a A2 card panel and added some strips of cardstock using the Stitched Strips Dies. Once I adhered the strips to the card panel, I added a frame using the Wonky Stitched Rectangles Dies. I decided to add a few more elements to card, I pulled out a fun birthday set from last years release called Wish stamp set with coordinating dies.  This set coordinates perfectly with the Birthday Cupcake Set!  I adhered all the images to the card base.

To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the new Sentiments Strips Birthday stamps! I adhered the sentiment to one of my most used die sets, Sentiment Strips Dies! I added lots of clay confetti from the new Over the Rainbow Mix! I adhered the clay pieces to resemble a faux shaker and ta-da all done!

Now onto my second card using the adorable Birthday Train stamp set with coordinating dies!  This train is becoming a favorite of mine in my crafty realm!  I stamped and colored the images with an array of Olo markers.  For the background I took a A2 card panel and added some strips of cardstock using the Stitched Strips Dies. I then ran the panel through the die cutting machine using a brand-new product called Pierced Stars Plate Die, I love the extra texture it adds to the A2 panel.  I added a few faux black splatters to the top left corner and the bottom right corner. I adhered the images to the panel and decided I needed a frame. I used the Fancy Cake Dies and I love the way it framed the images.   

To finish card, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Birthday Train stamp set and adhered the sentiment to some layered Sentiment Strips Dies!  I added a few extra balloons from a fun birthday set from last year’s release called Wish stamp set with coordinating dies.  My last step was to add some white gel pen highlights and I absolutely love how this card turned out. 

Friends the release is amazing, it’s chock full of Birthday goodness! Lots of fun stuff, stay tuned for more sneak peeks, blog hops, and Instagram Hops all in celebration of Pretty Pink Posh 10^th birthday. I’m so grateful to be a part of this amazing celebration! Pretty Pink Posh has superb, fun, timeless products! Happy Birthday Pretty Pink Posh and many more to come!!! 

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I’m super excited to give you a peek of some of the amazing new dies releasing this month. There is lots of Valentine’s and St. Patrick’s Day goodness, but many things that you can reach for all year. 

New release will be available January 3rd

My first card features five new die sets. The stars of the show are the new Stitched Hearts Dies. This set has such a great variety of sizes and patterns. I die cut them in several shades of pink and purple and blended ink on the edges.  

Then I used words from the new Elegant Banner Heart Dies to turn them into conversation hearts.  Because the letters cut individually I was even able to create a few words of my own.  

I mounted them all the hearts on a card base cut with the new Pierced Hearts Die. (I love it and know I will reach for it often!) I also added a few tiny white hearts from the XOXO Border Die. After splattering on some white paint, I was ready to add the new Be Mine Shadow Die for my sentiment. Hooray for more dies in this line-up! I love their larger size and that I can use them separate or layered.

Next up is a card that has had me smiling for a month. My Irish grandmother made St. Patrick’s Day a really special day for my family, so I was thrilled to see Pretty Pink Posh create some more St. Patrick’s Day products.  I started by covering my card base with Stitched Shamrocks. Like the Stitched Hearts, they come in a variety of sizes and cute patterns.  

Next I created this fabulous cupcake. I’m pretty sure I squealed when I saw the Big Valentine Cupcake Dies. The size is perfect, and I know it is going to be a staple for me. It is big enough to be the focal point on a card or to be a tag, and I’m pretty sure everyone I know will be getting cupcake tags on their birthday gifts this year. 

After I pieced together the cupcake, I added glitter and sprinkles using the new Lucky Day Shaker Beads and St. Patrick’s Day Mix Confetti. Then I topped it with a glittery shamrock (the smallest die in the Stitched Shamrocks set).

I finished my card with a two-part sentiment using the new Lucky Shadow Dies and a sentiment from the Lucky stamp set that I embossed on a Sentiment Strip Die. I’m looking forward to using this sentiment combo all year.  There are many people I feel blessed to know. :)  

Thanks so much for joining me today! This release is packed with dies, so even though I’ve used a bunch on my cards today, there are even more to get excited about!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at two of the new stencils that will be released. It was hard to pick which two to create with first, but I absolutely love the new Half Hearts Stencils and Layered Shamrocks Stencils so here are two cards with these stencil sets to inspire you today!

New release will be available January 3rd

For the first, heart-filled card, I used the Half Hearts Stencils on a light pink cardstock and used the (A) stencil with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide. For the (B) stencil, I added Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide for the larger hearts and Game Over Lunar Paste for the smaller hearts. Once the background was dry, I used the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die to cut it down to fit on my A2 card base.

The base has a silver shimmer cardstock, the stenciled background is popped up with foam adhesive and then I added some die cut hearts from the new Stitched Hearts Dies and a sentiment using the Sentiment Strip Dies and the new Sentiment Strips: Valentine Stamp Set.

Switching color schemes, let’s move on to the lucky shaker card! I used the Layered Shamrock Stencils on light grey cardstock and started with the (A) stencil and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide. Then I inked the (B) stencil with Ripe Mango Cloud 9 Interference Ink. I added a little bit of gold watercolor splatter to really make the background shine!

When it was dry, I used the largest Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die to cut it out and layered it onto a green cardstock with foam adhesive that was adhered to an A2 card base. I made a shaker with the new Shamrock Shaker Dies, St. Patrick’s Day Mix, and Lucky Day Shaker Beads. After assembling the shaker onto the card, I also added a Hot Foil – Lucky sentiment with gold foil onto yellow cardstock and cut it with the Lucky Shadow Dies.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of the new Half Hearts Stencils and Layered Shamrocks Stencils. I hope you’re excited for this new release just as I was to receive these stencils to give you inspiration today!

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a sneak peek of the new Lucky stamp set along with some of the other St Patrick’s Day products from the upcoming January release.

New release will be available January 3rd

For my first card, I used images from new Lucky stamp set to create a fun background pattern. All the images are coloured with copic markers, and I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Before adhering the images to my A2 card base, I die cut the new Lucky Shadow Die from gold glitter card. I’m just using the scripty word layer from the die set on this card, but there’s a shadow layer included too. I added a couple of layers behind it for dimension.

Copic colours:

Clover: G14 G07; Horseshoe: Y13-15; Coins: Y15-17; Stars: Y13; Hat: G14 G07 G17 N5-7 Y15; Pot of Gold: N5-7 Y15-17; Rainbow: R85 YR14 Y13 BG000

To complete the sentiment, I stamped a greeting from the new Lucky stamp set above. I then arranged and adhered the images around the card to create the colourful background pattern.

My second card features the new Shamrock Shaker die, Layered Shamrocks stencil set, the Lucky Charms clay confetti mix, and the Hot Foil Lucky plate.

I created the background using the Layered Shamrocks stencil set. There are 2 layers and I used Lucky Clover distress oxide ink and Nuvo Golden Era Glacier Paste.

Next, I die cut the main die with the inner frame of the Shamrock Shaker from green glitter card, along with several layers of green card to build up the walls of my shaker. I then removed the inner frame die and used just the main die to cut an acetate piece and a back panel.

I added some of the fun Lucky Charms clay confetti mix before sealing closed my Shamrock Shaker.

Before adhering my stenciled panel to an A2 card base, I wrapped a piece of vellum horizontally across the centre and secured at the back of the panel. The vellum helps to soften the background where the Shamrock Shaker will sit.

For the sentiment, I foiled the new Hot Foil Lucky plate with Speckled Aura glimmer foil. I used the Lucky Shadow Die to cut it out and added a couple of layers for dimension. I adhered this across my shaker to finish.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my cards. Come back tomorrow for another look at the upcoming release!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a little peek at an adorable new Valentine’s Day set, Valentine Train stamp set and coordinating dies. These are going to be perfect for the upcoming holiday, but I love that there is an empty train car to decorate for any holiday or maybe a baby card!

New release will be available January 3rd

I started with stamping my Valentine Train stamp set images on white cardstock with alcohol marker friendly black ink. My images are colored in with red, pinks and soft purple Ohuhu Art Honolulu Alcohol Markers. I used the Valentine Train coordinating dies to cut the images out.

For this card, I wanted the train to be my main focus, so I decided to do a subtle, tone on tone background. I started with trimming a piece of white cardstock to 4×5.25” and die cut the XOXO Border Die five times from another piece of white cardstock. I glued them down to create an offset pattern and trimmed off the excess from the edges.

This was then glued to the center of an A2 card base, also in white cardstock. Next I cut a Sentiment Strip Die out of white cardstock and used the same soft purple markers to color the paper and stamped “Loads of Love” as the sentiment for the card. I added my Valentine Train images and sentiment to my card with foam adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of the new Valentine Train stamp set and coordinating dies; you’re absolutely going to love the rest of the release. So many great new products for the upcoming holidays!

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here! I’m thrilled to share these sneak peeks using the new Valentine Cupcakes and Sweet Chocolates stamp sets. 

I’ll be sharing two color palettes today one is nontraditional colors for Valentines, and one is basically an iconic color palette for Valentines. I had so much fun making these beauties, both sets coordinate well together. I absolutely adore these products, let’s get started!

New release will be available January 3rd

For my first card I stamped and colored the images from the new Valentine Cupcakes stamps with Olo alcohol markers using an array of fuchsia and blue colors, not your typical Valentine color palette.  I did add a few elements of red but overall fuchsia, blue, and a light pink are the main colors.  

For my background I used the new Half Heart 2-layer stencil, it’s a beauty! I used die inks for the blending in bright blues and fuchsias. I was determined to use the Eyelet Rectangles Dies from the most recent release on my project, these dies are a favorite of mine. I cut the large Eyelet rectangle out of white glitter cardstock and cut my stenciled panel down to nestle it on to the large Eyelet Rectangle die. I needed a resting place for the cupcakes, I decided to use the new Eyelet Hearts Dies! I cut the large heart in velum and a smaller one from white glitter cardstock. 

I adhered the elements to my card base and decided to add a few embellishments. I used the new Colorful Heart Clay Confetti, specifically the blue hearts. I added a few highlights with my white gel pen and embellishments are done!

The next and final step was the sentiment. Oh yes, I did…I used another new product from the release called Elegant Banner Heart! It’s a gorgeous set of dies and sentiments are perfecto for Valentines and basically anytime of the year. I glued the letters from the Elegant Banner Heart dies to classic die called Stacked Edges 1 Dies. I finished the sentiment off with a royal blue bow from the Holiday Mug Additions Dies and a few more of the Colorful Heart Clay Confetti, ta-da all done! 

Now onto my second card using the super cute Sweet Chocolates Stamps and Dies! I stamped and colored the images with an array of Spectrum Noir alcohol markers in pinks and reds. For the background I used the new Half Heart 2-layer stencil, but I stenciled the hearts in one solid color using pink and red die inks.   I added some black splatters to the top left and bottom right of the background panel. I decided to use the negative piece from cutting the large Eyelet Rectangle Die out of a A2 card base. I adhered it to the background panel with liquid glue. 

Next, I realized I needed a resting place for the stamped die cut images and once again I decided to use the new Eyelet Hearts Dies. I die cut the large Eyelet Heart out of white cardstock. I adhered the large Eyelet Heart Die onto my panel with double sided adhesive foam tape. I arranged the elements onto the heart and decided to add the adorable doggie cupcake from the new Valentine Cupcakes Stamps with coordinating dies! 

The final step was the sentiment and that was easy-peasy, I used the cute sentiment from the Sweet Chocolates stamps and dies. I love a good white embossed sentiment on black cardstock! The final step was adding a bow to the top of the heart using the Holiday Mug Additions Dies and white gel pen highlights.  Ta-da this beauty is done, and I think it’s stinkin’ adorable!

Friends, the release is phenomenal and is full of gorgeousness, everything works so well together!  I want to thank you for stopping by and stay tuned for more fabulous sneak peeks! 

Crafty hugs!

Hello everyone! This is Melissa and I’m here to share a sneak peek post made with the adorable Decorative Hearts stamps and coordinating dies that will be released soon.

New release will be available January 3rd

Did you know that Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday to create for?  Something about hearts and the colorful shades of reds and pinks that really inspire me and the Decorative Hearts stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh has certainly jumpstarted my creativity.

I’ve used the new Pierced Hearts die to create my card base and then stamped Decorative Hearts in reds and pinks in each empty heart space left by the Pierced Hearts die.  I spritzed my stamped surface with a bit of water and added red splatters using my Distress Spray.

I then die cut three hearts of different sizes using the adorable, new Eyelet Hearts dies. These layered hearts provided the perfect space for my “XOXO” die cut that is from the Decorative Hearts die set.  I added a secondary sentiment on a layered die cut Decorative Heart near the upper corner.  

My next card uses a row of these sweet Decorative Hearts lined up down the edge of my card.  They look adorable layered over die cut Eyelet Hearts, don’t they?  They are truly the perfect fit for each other!

In the background I have used the new Valentine Words Stencils, first using ink in a soft pink and then going over them with Nuvo Moonstone Glitter Paste.  They look dazzling all sparkly and shimmering.  

My darling die cut sentiment was cut using the new Be Mine Shadow dies…I adore these!  And, I am smitten with all of the new Pretty Pink Posh products coming out this month. I think you’ll love them too! Come back tomorrow for another sneak peek!
