Sneak Peeks

Hello friends, Arsenia here!   I’m thrilled to be sharing this sneak peek with you using the Holiday Ornaments stamp set with coordinating dies.  The ornaments are whimsical, beautiful, and have amazing details. I’m excited to share a quick but beautiful technique with you to create mass production with these beauties. Let’s get started.

New release will be available October 16th

The first step to my mass production with these gorgeous ornaments is choosing five colors of cardstock and choosing coordinating alcohol markers.  I did lots of heat embossing on the cardstock with white embossing powder with the Holiday Ornaments stamps. I took the coordinating alcohol markers and did some shading, this process goes quickly. Once I was done with the alcohol marker coloring I did some die cutting with the Holiday Ornaments dies and I was left with oodles of beautiful ornaments. 

For my first card I used Stacked Edges 1 dies with coordination cardstock for my background, next I made a frame with the two largest Wonky Stitched Rectangles Dies. I adhered the frame onto the cardbase with foam tape.  I went to my stash of ornaments and chose three of them, I decided I wanted to add some bling!  Are you ready for another sneak peek, I used some of the dies from the new Build An Ornament Die Set to add some bling to the ornaments, this die set is amazing!  To adorn the ornaments I stamped some bows from the Holiday Ornament stamp set and did some quick alcohol coloring.  The bows are so cute!   

Next I needed a sentiment, I used a sentiment from the new Winter Greetings Stamps with coordinating dies.  Friends this is an absolute must have, the sentiments are so cute and whimsical.  I stamped the sentiment onto coordination cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I added some of the adorable Holly and berries from the Holiday Ornaments with coordinating dies.  To finish the card I added lots of Sparkling Clear Sequins. Ta-Da card done and I adore it!

For my next card I decided to make a mini slimline.  The card base is 6 x 3 1/2 and the panel is 5 1/4 x 2 3/4.  For the card base I used Stitched Strips Dies and Simple Strips Dies with coordinating cardstock.  Now to work on the card panel, I decided to add some faux splatter behind each of the ornaments in coordinating ink.  I adhered the ornaments and it was time to embellish!

For the ornament toppers I used the new Build an Ornament Die Set and for some greenery I used the new Holiday Wreath Builder Die Set, oh friends you’re going to love this die set!  I added texture paste and rock candy glitter mix to the greenery.  I added some Images from the Holiday Ornament stamp set with coordinating dies.  For my sentiment I used the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set and Sentiment Strip Dies!  I took a 1/8 inch of red cardstock and embellished the sentiment, card done!  It’s super cute and beautiful, I love it!

I still had some ornaments left and decided to make some gift tags, I used the Eyelet Rectangles Dies and the Simple Strips Dies.  The cute sentiments are from Winter Greetings Stamps with coordinating dies!  The tags were quick and easy,  having a stash of ornaments makes the creating process a breeze.  

For my final card I stamped the images from the Holiday Ornaments Stamp set and my Olo markers to color the images.  For my card base I used Layered Christmas Lights Stencils. I only used the greenery stencil, to add some more interest to the background I used Stacked Edges 1 Dies. I kept the card panel simple, I added a Scallop Square Die.  I backed the ornaments and merry sentiment with some glitter cardstock.  I added lots of 38 gauge silver wire to the card panel before I added all my images. To finish the card I used a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas set!  

The release is absolutely gorgeous and has lots to keep you busy for the holiday crafting.  Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek.  Have a fabulous day, friends!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m thrilled to be sharing with you this duo of matching autumn cards featuring brand new products from the September 2024 Release, as well as additional ones from previous years. As you may already know, mixing and matching items from different sets and different years is my favorite exercise, so I try to do it whenever I can to show you how easy it is.

New release will be available September 9th

Let’s start with the apple themed background, shall we? I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel, and started off by creating a white base using the Layered Apples stencil #1 along with white pigment ink. I really love to stencil on kraft cardstock, and every time I do, I like to make this white base first because it makes the colors you add after pop even more. I kept the stencil #1 but shifted it a little bit to the right, and applied colored oxide inks: worn lipstick, rusty hinge, fossilized amber, peeled paint and peacock feathers. And because I shifted the stencil, it created a nice white border around my colorful apples.

Next I created the mushroom themed background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel, and just like the first background, I started off by making a white base using the Layered Mushrooms stencil #1 and #2. Next I shifted the stencil #1 and colored the top of each mushroom using the same oxide inks as before, and then shifted the stencil #2 and colored the mushrooms feet using vintage photo oxide ink. And once again, by shifting the stencils, we get a cool white border around the mushrooms. Finally I used the stencil #3 along with white textured paste to add cute dots on some of the mushrooms.

Both the Apple Shaker and the Mushroom Shaker were made the same way, except for a couple of details, so here are the different steps to make the apple.1. Cut the apple frame out of colored cardstock,2. Cut a whole apple out of acetate, and another one out of pattern paper,3. Attach the acetate apple at the back of the apple frame using liquid glue,4. Still at the back of the apple frame, add foam strips directly on the acetate, all along the apple edges, following the rounded shape,5. Pour Autumn Shaker Beads on the acetate,6. Close the shaker by sticking the patterned apple to the foam strips,7. Shake, and voilà!

I repeated all those steps to make the Mushroom Shaker, except that to make the mushroom’s foot, I cut an additional mushroom out of kraft cardstock, cut the foot out, and attached it to the shaker using liquid glue.
Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, and added a little bit of depth to each element using oxide inks. Here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Big Fall Cupcake – sunflowers, acorns, leaves, mushroom • Fall Basket – apple, tiny leaf • Stitched Birds & Holiday Birds – crows • Fall Mug Additions – berry branches • Big Halloween Cupcakes & Spooky Mug Additions – pumpkins.

I white heat embossed two greetings on dark brown cardstock and cut them using the matching dies: “Fall greetings” is from Fall Bouquets, and “Happy autumn” is from Solid Fall Foliage. I attached everything on my panels, starting with the shakers using liquid glue, and then the die-cut pieces and greetings using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, 3mm glue dots, and liquid glue.

For the final details, I glued an Onyx Pearl on each crow to make the eyes, added highlights and details to the elements using a white gel pen, and glossy accents to the berries to make them shine. And that’s it!

I hope these autumn shaker cards have inspired you. Stop by tomorrow for a look at all of the new products in picture form!

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!

New release will be available September 9th

I want to start with my favorite new stencil from this release as it works perfectly with a coordinating stamp and die set! The Solid Fall Foliage stencils create beautiful fall images with the layered set. I used different Autumn inspired inks to color in the leaves, mushrooms, berries and acorn for the (A) stencil, then brought browns for the (B) stencil on a light brown cardstock. Alternatively, you could use the Solid Fall Foliage stamp set to stamp the details, but the stenciling is so quick and easy!

Next I stamped “Happy Autumn” from the Solid Fall Foliage stamp set and embossed it in a white embossing powder on brown cardstock. Then I used the Solid Fall Foliage coordinating dies to cut out the sentiment and all of the stenciled images! I layered the images on a Mini Scallop Card cut from brown cardstock to finish the card.

For my second card, I really wanted to use the new mushroom themed products so I started with stenciling the Layered Mushroom Stencils with red inks with the (A) stencil, light brown with the (B) stencil, and stencil paste with the (C) stencil. Once it was dry, I cut it with the largest Eyelet Rectangle Dies and adhered it to center of an A2 card base.

I stamped my sentiment in brown ink on kraft cardstock from the Fall Bouquets stamp set and used the coordinating die to cut it out. Next I built my shaker using the Mushroom Shaker dies out of red and light brown cardstock and acetate. I think it looks so cute with the Fall Mushroom Clay Confetti! I adhered the shaker to the center of the card and layered the sentiment as well.

I hope you enjoyed these cards with two of the new stencils – you’re going to love all of them along with everything else from this release!

Hi friends, it’s Jeanne here. Fall is in the air and I’m so excited to share two projects made with the upcoming release from Pretty Pink Posh! 

New release will be available September 9th

The Fall Icons stamp set includes 12 fabulous images that will have you thinking of all your fall favorites.  Pumpkins, apples, gourds and rainbow corn have me thinking of trips to the local farm stand. 

Colorful leaves, acorns, sunflowers and mushrooms are a walk in the woods!  And of course it wouldn’t be Fall without Thanksgiving with that cute little turkey!

The Fall Icons coordinating die set includes three circle dies perfect for stacking with the stamped images to add more color and layers to your designs.

The background for my card is the new Fall Words stencil that I added to craft paper with white embossing paste. The sentiment is from the Fall Harvest stamp set. 

For my second card we’re going to the Apple Orchard!  This card starts with the Layered Leaf Lattice stencil inked on a panel of pink cardstock. 

This set is for those of you who might not like to color. You can definitely stamp the apple outlines and color them as you like, but it’s so convenient to color them with the stamps in the set.  

The Patterned Apples stamp set includes three different size apples that you can stamp with solid, stripe, or dot patterns in the set. It also includes two different sized leaves as well as stems that you can also color with coordinating stamps. 

I inked my apples in shades of red, green and yellow, die cut them, and then arranged them on the card randomly.  Some of the apples are adhered flat to the card while others are raised with adhesive foam tape to add dimension. 

I think these apples are fabulous and I know they’ll be great for fall as well as teacher appreciation cards and gifts.

Come back tomorrow for another sneak peek of the upcoming release!

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here!  I’m thrilled to share this sneak peek using the Fall Harvest stamps with coordinating dies! The images are beautiful from this set, the possibilities are endless!  I had fun creating these beauties and the color palettes might be a little unexpected for Fall. Fall crafting is my favorite, let’s get started!

New release will be available September 9th

First, I stamped and colored the images from the Fall Harvest stamp set with an array of alcohol markers from my crafty realm. Once I colored all the images I decided to focus on one specific image to make a beautiful fall spray of leaves cascading down my card.  I used teals, dark yellows, and burnt orange colors for my palette.  Next it was time to work on my background, I used a new stencil set called Layered Autumn Harvest and I can’t get enough of this stencil! This stencil makes gorgeous backgrounds!  I added some faux brown splatters to the top left and bottom right of the card panel.   

I needed a resting place for the sentiment, I decided to use the Eyelet Circle Dies!  I adore the script of this sentiment and it’s included in Fall Harvest stamp set and has a die! I finished card with some white gel pen highlights and added a small twine bow!  Ta-Da card done and I love it!  The images are versatile in this set, you can make sprays, wreaths, and more! 

For my second card I decided to embrace several of the images from the Fall Harvest stamp set with coordinating dies!  I stamped and colored the images in an array of pinks, oranges, peach, and brown alcohol markers! Next, I took the coordinating dies and did some die cutting. 

For my background, I used the new Layered Autumn Harvest Stencils! I needed a resting place for my images and decided to use the Eyelet Rectangles Dies, specifically the largest die.  I cut the die out of vellum and adhered to the cardbase. My sentiment is from a new set called Fall Bouquets stamp set with coordinating dies. This is just a little sneak peek into this gorgeous set!  I wanted a backing for my sentiment and i decided to use one of my most used die sets called Sentiment Strips Dies. I finished the card up with some white gel pen highlights!  Friends I adore this card, I love the shabby chic autumnal look of this beauty! 

The new release is chock full of fall goodness!  Thank you so much for stopping by today and make sure to visit tomorrow for another sneak peek! 

Hi folks, Kavya here with two cards using the latest release!! This fall themed release is filled with cute and adorable autumn themed elements that pair well with a bunch of previously released products. 

New release will be available September 9th

My first card uses the new Solid Fall Foliage stamp set. This stamp is perfect on its own! I started off by stamping the leaves and stems using two tones of colors. I used purple, pink, blue, orange, green and yellow shades of dye ink for the leaves. Pro Tip – First die cut the leaves and then stamp them to get the perfect cut. 

I decided to cut a bit more of the white border after die cutting to make it a bit more clean. Then, I took a piece of dark blue cardstock and stenciled a background using Deco Leaves stencil and black dye ink. I also ink blended the borders with black dye ink. I adhered all the leaves on my card base and finished it off with the new Many Thanks Shadow die. I also added a few more details using white gel pen and gold paint marker. 

My next card features the new Fall Bouquets stamp set. I stamped, cut and colored a bunch of images from the new Fall Bouquets and Fall Icons and previously released Cozy Fall Critters.

For the sentiment, I used the Easter Circles coordinating die and heat embossed the sentiment from the Fall Bouquets set. I adhered all the elements on some patterned paper to finish off my card!

Hope all of these projects inspire you. Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Happy Crafting, Kavya 

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 in a couple of days!

New release will be available August 12th

For my first card, I just had to use the Layered Halloween Wreath stencils! All of the adorable images just needed to be stenciled. I started with the (A) stencil and used purple, green and yellow inks, then the (B) stencil with orange and yellow inks, the (C) stencil with orange, black and green inks, and finally the (A) stencil again to add Frostbite Astro Paste to the tops of the candy corn and ghosts. I set it aside to dry and once it was dry, I trimmed it down to a 4×5.25” panel.

While my background was drying, I stamped and embossed the Happy Halloween sentiment in white from the Halloween Corners stamp set and used the coordinating dies to cut it out. I also cut the Candy Bucket Dies in orange and black cardstock to make the classic Jack-o-Lantern Treat Bucket! I made it into a shaker with acetate and Classic Halloween Shaker Beads.

I adhered the stenciled panel to a piece of black cardstock cut to A2 in size and adhered them to a card base. I adhered the Candy Bucket to the center of the card base and popped up the sentiment under the handle with foam adhesive. I just love this classic looking Halloween card!

For the second card, I really wanted to make a night scene with the Layered Birch Trees stencils. I stenciled the (A) layer with Picket Fence Distress Ink and then sprayed the whole panel with Iridescent Glitter Dust. When it was dry, I used the (B) stencil with Grrr! Lunar Paste to add in the tree details. I sent it aside to dry and once it was, I trimmed the panel to 4×5.25”.

Next I stamped and colored in my images from the Batty About You stamp set with alcohol markers and used the coordinating dies to cut out the images. I also die cut the third Stitched Torn Rectangle from purple cardstock and stamped my Spooky Wishes sentiment from Upright Greetings: Halloween stamp set with black ink. I adhered the moon image to the purple rectangle and popped up the bat and branch with foam adhesive.

I adhered the stenciled panel to an A2 card base and popped up the purple rectangle with the images to the center of the card with foam adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed these card with two of the new stencils – you’re going to love all of them!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here! I’m happy to be sharing with you this extra fun and super colorful sneak peek featuring two brand new products from the upcoming August 2024 Release: Build A Monster and Candy Bucket. The Candy Bucket comes with different funny faces, including a monster face, which matches the monsters to perfection.

New release will be available August 12th

I started off by cutting an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth slimline panel that I colored with bright colors in a rainbow order. I first created a light base with, from left to right, kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, salvaged patina and shaded lilac oxide inks. Next I created a pattern on my panel, and thought that big dots would add more fun to the card, so I used the Medium Polka Dots stencil along with, from left to right, picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, fossilized amber, mowed lawn, peacock feathers and wilted violet to create a tone on tone look.

I splattered water all over my panel, and dried it using a paper towel. For contrast, I mixed some black soot oxide ink with water and used a small brush to add more splatters, and for brightness I did the same with copic opaque white ink mixed with water.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of different colored cardstock, and assembled everything on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, liquid glue and 3mm glue dots. I used all the Build A Monster dies to create my three little guys, used the bucket and monster face dies from Candy Bucket to create the bucket, and multiple Candy Treats dies to make all the yummy treats.

I embossed my “Sending monster hugs” greeting from Monster Hugs in white, glued Onyx pearls on the monsters’ eyes, and Iridescent Mini Star Confetti here and there on the background, applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the monsters’ hearts and swirling icing, added a drop of glossy accent on the bucket’s eyes, and finally added highlights and details using a white gel pen.

Here’s a look at some more of the new dies coming in this release…..

And that’s it! I hope you like those cute and friendly little monsters! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be sharing a sneak peek of the fun new Batty About You stamp set along with the Upright Greetings: Halloween stamp set for the upcoming Halloween release. 

New release will be available August 12th

I began my first card by making my card panel with the Scattered Bats Stencil. I used white pigment ink for my blending and splattered the panel with a little white paint for added detail. Once my panel was dry I trimmed it down and attached it to an orange cardstock mat. 

Next, I stamped my bats with the Batty About You stamp set. I colored the bats orange with a few Copic markers and then used the Batty About You coordinating dies to cut them out. I die cut my circle with the Scallop Circle die and attached it to my panel. I then attached my bats with foam adhesive to add a little dimension. 

To finish my card, I stamped my You’re Fang-tastic sentiment with the Batty About You stamp set. I then used the Upright Greetings: Halloween stamp set to stamp the Eek sentiment. Lastly, I used the Sentiment Strips dies to die cut my sentiments before attaching them to my card. 

For my next card, I used the Upright Greetings: Halloween stamp set and my Misti to create my card panel. I placed the Batty For You stamp in my Misti and then moved my cardstock to the left on my grid paper to stamp my sentiment in a rainbow of colors.

Lastly, I used the Batty About You stamp set to stamp my bat. I colored the bat with Copic markers and then used the Batty About You coordinating dies to cut it out. Such a fun and easy card to create! I know you are going to love these fun new products.

Thanks for joining me today and  I hope you enjoyed my cards. Make sure you stop back by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hi Everyone! Carly here and I’m delighted to share a sneak peek of the new Halloween Train! I have been obsessed with PPP’s trains ever since the Valentine Train because they are not only adorable but so versatile! Let me show you what I mean…

New release will be available August 12th

Black & white images with a colorful sentiment is one of my favorite card designs for critter cards but it works for the new Halloween Train set too! 

I die cut the Spooky Wishes from a card panel and then stamped the train cars beneath it. I added “sending” from Sentiment Strips: Birthday and then adhered the panel to a folded card.

I ink blended a scrap panel with Distress Oxide Dried Marigold & Kitsch Flamingo and then die cut Spooky Wishes again and inlaid the colorful one on the card.

For this next card I had fun stamping, die cutting and coloring a bunch of train cars. 

Copic colors: RV63, RV52, RV10, RV00, RV000, B00, B00, T4, T2, YR07, YR04 & E02.

Then I stamped the sentiment and the train tracks on the front of a folded card. BTW, it’s easy to curve the train tracks on your acrylic block/stamping tool before stamping.

I arranged the cars on the tracks (but didn’t adhere yet) and then positioned the link stamp, moved the cars out of the way and stamped the links on the card front. I also added a few bats and faux splatter with a pen.

Finally I foam mounted the cars to card front and trimmed the bits that hung off the edge.

And of course I couldn’t resist creating another treat train! 

It’s really such an easy project and you can see the process in this video.

Copic colors: B99, B97, B95, RV63, RV52, T4, T2, YR07, YR04 & E02.

Thanks so much for stopping by and don’t forget to mark your calendars for the release!
