Sneak Peeks

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be back to share a sneak peek of two of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh. The new release is packed full of fun new products for Halloween and so much more. Let’s get started…

New release will be available August 7th

My first card uses the Layered Candy Treats stencil set. This is a four pack of stencils that layer together to create a fun candy background. I used finger daubers and dye ink for my blending. I then added a few yellow splatters to my panel for a little added detail. Such an adorable candy background! I love that this stencil can be used for Halloween and beyond.

Next, I create my sentiment with the new Sentiment Strips: Halloween stamp set and Sentiment Strips dies. I mounted the banner on a strip of cardstock that I created with the zigzag die from the Stitched Borders 1 die set. I then use the Candy Treats dies set to make a few coordinating candy pieces to finish my card. 

For my next card, I used the Layered Argyle stencil set to create a more “traditional” Halloween card.

I started my card by using the Layered Argyle stencil set to create my card panel. This is a set of three stencils that layer together to create a fun argyle pattern. I used Distress Oxide Ink in: Brushed Corduroy, Carved Pumpkin and Black Soot for my blending. The color possibilities with this stencil are endless. I can’t wait to use it for Christmas!

Next, I used the Stitched Pumpkins die set to create my cute little jack o’ lantern from colored cardstock. Lastly, I used the Sentiment Strips: Halloween stamp set and Sentiment Strips dies for my sentiment. 

Thanks for joining me today! I know you will love these amazing new stencils and I can’t wait to see what you create with them!!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a sneak peek of the Decorative Pumpkins stamp set, part of the August release.

New release will be available August 7th

Similar to the Birthday Balloons stamp set before it, this set has both outline and solid pumpkins in 3 sizes, along with decorative patterns and sentiments to add to the pumpkins. 

Using the solid outline pumpkins, I stamped them out in pinks, yellow and orange, then die cut them out with the coordinating dies. The pumpkin stalks are separate stamps and I found it easy to add these after the pumpkins were die cut. 

Next, I added decorations to the pumpkins. I used the same inks for the patterns, to create a tone on tone look. On one of the largest pumpkins, I stamped a sentiment from the Decorative Pumpkins set in black ink.

I adhered a strip of patterned paper to an A2 landscape card base, then added the pumpkins. I used a mix of liquid glue and foam tape to get dimension. The sentiment pumpkin is popped up with two layers of foam tape.

I didn’t feature these on my card today but there are also images of Halloween pumpkin faces in the stamp set, plus two additional sentiments, making this a versatile set to add to your collection.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the August 7th release!

Hi folks, Kavya here with a fun Halloween project using the latest release! No one can make Halloween cuter than Paulina. This release is absolutely adorable and I had a blast pairing it with a bunch of my favorite past Halloween products too!

New release will be available August 7th

I started off by stamping and coloring a bunch of images from the new Halloween signs stamps set. Then, I created my background by ink blending gray cardstock with black and used the Spooky Sky stencil to ink blend a starry night sky. Then, I adhered all the stamped images and added diecut Spider Web and Large Boo Script to finish off my card!

I hope this inspires you to mix and match some of the older products with the newer release, they all work together beautifully! Stay tuned this week for lots more sneak peeks!

Happy crafting,
Kavya

Hello, friends! It’s Lindsey here, and I’m delighted to be giving you a sneak peek of some of the fun new dies releasing this month.  If you are wondering if there will be another addition to the mug lineup, the answer is yes! The new Fruit Mug Additions are darling, so I had to use them right away.

New release will be available June 7th

I fully embraced a tropical theme on this one and used lots of bright colors.  I started with a lime green Winter Mug and used a fun new die in the Fruit Mug Additions to cut out a window and fill it with the new Lemon Lime Clay Confetti.  

Then I added a straw, some strawberries, lemon slices, and pineapple all from the the Fruit Mug Additions. 

If you know me, this may come as a shocker, but I decided to create my background entirely out of pinks.  I broke up the space by using the stitched scalloped edge in the Stacked Edges 3 Dies. This created a lovely place for my mug to sit.  

To enhance the theme, I added some tropical foliage around my mug that I made using the Hibiscus Flowers stamp set and coordinating dies.

I used the new Friend Shadow Dies for my sentiment.  There are so many secondary sentiments that pair well with this die, and I thought this one from from the Build A Cupcake stamp set was just right for this card.

Okay, now for my second card. This fruit inspired release has been a bit of heaven for me. Fruit has been my favorite food for as long as I can remember, and I have a special love for all things citrus.   

I did a bunch of tone-on-tone stamping with the new Citrus stamp set to create a pile of lemons, limes, and oranges.  Then I die cut the fabulous new Fruit Bowl to hold all the citrusy goodness. 

The Spring Foliage dies reminded me a bit of fresh herbs, so I cut some and added them around my bowl .  

I also added a few flowers from the Spring Foliage dies along with an orange wedge from the Fruit Mug Additions. 

The scallop square acting as a linen on my card is half of the new Mini Scallop Card Die. It makes the cutest little cards, but it also ended up being just what I needed to anchor my fruit bowl.  

I dry embossed the card base using the Trellis Stencil to add a little texture and finished my card off with a sentiment from the the Citrus stamp set paired with just the script word from the Friend Shadow Die.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope you’ve enjoyed getting a peek of some of the fabulous dies releasing this month. Make sure to come back tomorrow for a picture look at all the new products.

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be back today to share a sneak peek of a few of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh. The new release is packed full of fun new products for all of your summer crafting and includes four new stencil sets. Today I will be using the new Layered Citrus set along with the Layered Strawberries set.

New release will be available June 7th

My first card uses the Layered Citrus stencil set. This is a three pack of stencils that layer together to create a fun citrus pattern. I used finger daubers and dye ink for my blending. Such an adorable summer design…

Next, I used the Winter Mug dies along with the new Fruit Mug Additions die set to create my shaker. I filled the shaker with Lemon Lime Mix and then attached it to my card panel. I then used the Fruit Mug Additions set to create my citrus slices and straw. This set includes so many fun accessories and dies! You will love it!!

Lastly, I used the Stitched Strip die to create my sentiment strip. I ink blended the strip with a soft orange ink and then used the Citrus stamp set to stamp my sentiment. 

I started my next card by using the Layered Strawberries stencil set to create my card panel. This is a set of four stencils that layer together to create a sweet strawberry pattern. I once again used finger daubers and dye ink for all of my blending. I then added a few red splatters to my panel for a little added detail. 

Next, I used the Fresh Berries stamp set to stamp my images and sentiment. I colored the strawberries and leaves with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I then trimmed my panel down and added a vellum rectangle to the center. Lastly, I attached the strawberry images and sentiment to my panel with foam adhesive. 

Thanks for joining me today! I know you will love these amazing new stencils and I can’t wait to see what you create with them!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hi folks, Kavya here with a fun sneak peek for the Fresh Berries set! I absolutely love how well this month’s products are filled with fun puns. My card today reminds me of my grandmother’s fruit jam and I can’t wait to send this to her!

New release will be available June 7th

I first started off by ink blending my card base sigh pink dye ink and added a brown wood grained cardstock at the bottom. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Fresh Berries and created a shaker element out of the jar from Spring Jar stamp set. This requires a bit of fussy cutting but it’s worth it! I also added a handwritten vellum ‘jam’ label to the jar. I filled the jar using shaker elements from Strawberry Shimmer Confetti, Flower Garden and Strawberry Banana.

Lastly, I added a sentiment and I was done.

I hope this card inspires you. Join us tomorrow for a sneak peek of the new stencils!

Happy crafting, Kavya

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a little peek at two new sets: Fruit Borders stamp set with coordinating dies and Fruit Salad stamp set with coordinating dies. These new 4×6 stamp sets have adorable fruits and sentiments perfect for a summer barbeque! Let’s make a card featuring these sets along with a few other new items from the upcoming release.

New release will be available June 7th

I started with stenciling the new Starburst Stencil with Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides onto a piece of pale pink cardstock that is cut to 4×5-1/4″ in size. My sunburst is not quite centered because I raised the stencil up as I knew my basket of fruit was going to be a little higher than the center of the card.

While I warmed up my Glimmer Hot Foil System, I cut the Fruit Bowl Dies out of a pink cardstock, but just the solid bowl image. I also cut out the shadow of the Friend Shadow Dies twice out of white cardstock. Once my system was ready, I hot foiled the Friend Script Hot Foil Plate with a matte pink foil onto a piece of colored vellum cardstock. I also cut it out with the Friend Shadow Dies.

Next I stamped the border stamp with the banana, peach, pear, pineapple and grapes from the Fruit Borders stamp set as well the same fruits from the Fruit Salad stamp set in an alcohol marker friendly brown ink. I colored them in with alcohol markers – I used Ohuhu Art Honolulu B Markers. After adding some white highlights with a gel pen, I used their Coordinating Dies to cut them out.

After adding highlights to the pink Fruit Bowl, I also embossed the “miss you bunches” sentiment from the Fruit Salad stamp set in white embossing powder. I arranged the fruits inside the bowl and glued them inside. I also glued the friend layers together to create a sturdy sentiment. Now it’s time to assemble the card!

Using a tape runner, I glued the Fruit Border towards the bottom of the stenciled background, about a 1/2″ from the bottom. The border will hang off the edges a little and I trimmed them down before gluing to an A2 card base. I added foam adhesive to the back of the assembled fruit bowl and glued it so the sunburst is coming from the center of the assembled bowl. Next I adhered the Friend Script sentiment onto the bowl.

Finally, I glued down a few Strawberry Shimmer Mix in a couple different sizes around my fruit bowl for some extra shine. I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek; you’re absolutely going to love the rest of the June 7th release!

Hello, Gemma here today with a sneak peek of the new Citrus and Watermelon stamp sets. Perfect for fresh, summary cards.

New release will be available June 7th

The citrus set includes orange and lemon / lime images, along with two fun sentiments. 

I stamped out the images and coloured them with copic markers. I then die cut them with the coordinating dies. Instead of green leaves, I went with a navy blue as I love the colour combo with the orange and yellow. The images I’ve coloured as lemons can also be limes.

Copic colours: Lemons: Y00-Y15; Orange: YR01-02 YR14-18; Orange slice: Y00 YR00 YR14-18; Leaves: B93-97; Flowers: B91

Next, I stamped the sentiments from the stamp set in the center of a square card panel, using embossing ink. I then heat embossed them with a navy embossing powder, to complement the colours scheme. I adhered this panel to a top folding card base (5.25″ square).

I arrange the images around the sentiment, then adhered the larger images with foam tape, and the smaller images with liquid glue.

The Watermelon set includes the whole melon and two different slices, along with some pretty leaves. There are a selection of different sentiments too.

As before, I stamped out the images and coloured them with copic markers. I enjoyed colouring these as they were quick and the colours are really fun. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Copic colours: Watermelon: G12 G14 G17 G07; Watermelon slices:  G14 G17 RV21 RV23 RV25 E000 Leaves: G17 G28.

Next, I cut a panel of black and white striped patterned paper (2.75 x 5.25″). I adhered the images on top – using foam tape for the melon and slices, then liquid glue for the other images. I allowed the images to go over the edges, cutting away the overhang, to give the look of a pattern that continues. The bright coloured images are a fun contrast against the black and white stripes.

I adhered this panel to a 5.25″ card base. Above the panel, I added two Stitched Strips in pink and green, to give the edge a nice finish.

For the sentiment, I stamped out the ‘Melon’ word in pink ink. This has a coordinating die so I used this to cut out the word and added extra layers for dimension. I stamped the accompanying sentiment in black and cut into a strip. I popped this up with foam tape.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the June 7th release!

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here giving you a sneak peek of some of the amazing dies releasing this month. There are two new additions to the mug line-up, scripty sentiments, and some beautiful bird and birdhouse dies. SO much to love! 

New release will be available May 1st

First up is a cheery get well card with a bright color palette. There are lots of great products this month expanding the “get well” category.  You are going to love them!  This card showcases Get Well Mug Additions.

I figure if someone is sick and needs some cheering up, a shaker is a good way to do that.  I started with my beloved Winter Mug and die cut out the center using a die from Birthday Mug Additions. Then I filled it full of colorful pills from the Get Well Mug Additions. 

Next I die cut and stuffed the mug with medical supplies and happy things to brighten a mood. You may notice that the darling sun, rainbows, flowers, etc. are in the same style as the previously released Hugs stamp set. I can’t wait to use them together! This card just makes me smile. :) These dies are the definition of happiness.

Okay, on to the next peek. I’m super excited about this one! It uses the new Decorative Birdhouses and Stitched Birds dies. There are three birdhouses with different options for the center opening on the bird house and three bird dies in these sets. 

I chose the largest bird house for my card and blended two different shades of brown to create a dark, rich wood color. After piecing the birdhouse together, I added a stitched pole using a die from the Valentine Mug Additions for my birdhouse to stand on.  

Next, I worked on the background. I blended ink on the previously released Love Hearts die and layered it on top of a light blue card base. Then I framed it with the large stitched frame in the Fancy Cake die set. I just love how the greenery and blossoms surround the birdhouse! 

Of course this house needed a bird, so I took some creative liberties and made a pink one using the Stitched Birds dies. You can piece the birds together with different colors or blend them with ink like I’ve done here.  You can also mix and match the wings. (I’ve made at least a dozen different birds so far…) I nested this little birdie on top of some leaf and berry sprigs from the Spring Foliage Dies and called it a day.

Thanks so much for joining me! This release is a fun one! Stop by tomorrow for a look at all the new products.
