Sneak Peeks

Hello everyone!  This is Melissa and I’m here to share a couple of cards made with the adorable Baby Animals stamps and coordinating dies. These new products are simply irresistible and heartwarming. Let’s get started!

New release will be available May 8th

I used the darling mama duck and two ducklings on my first card and am smitten with them.  I die cut them from a soft, yellow patterned paper and paper-pieced their wings to bring in a little personality and texture.  I added a bit of ink blending down the front of each duck and duckling and across their bellies and near their cheeks.  

The new Eyelet Squares dies were used to provide a place for me to layer my sweet duck and babies.  You’ll adore these new dies! They are absolutely perfectly sized for so many projects, large and small.  I added a stamped and die cut sentiment using the Baby Animals. The “Hello” sentiment was stamped on a die cut heart using the new Stacked Squares dies.

One of my favorite new stencil sets is the sweet Layered Baby Wreath and that’s just what I’ve used behind my focal point.  I cut my card base using the Scallop Frames and love how my focal point was framed in perfectly!

My next card uses the darling mama and baby bunny and mama and baby kitten from the Baby Animals set. I added just a bit of ink blending and coloring with my Copics to highlight a few areas on each animal.  

I layered them on a die cut Eyelet Square and added baby blocks to create a grid of sorts using the Stacked Squares dies. These are so much fun to get creative with and are the perfect accent for the Baby Animals stamp set.

I used felt to cut my tiny star and flower, embellishing the centers of both using tiny buttons. My sentiment once again comes from the Baby Animals stamp set and dies.  

These new products have my heart and are so refreshing when it comes to creating with them. You’ll love them too!

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here! Are you ready for some super cuteness!?  I’m thrilled to share this sneak peek using the new Baby Basics stamps and coordinating dies. Let’s get started!

New release will be available May 8th

For my first card I used color cardstock with coordinating reinkers. I know some crafty friends don’t use alcohol markers so I thought I would share something a bit different.  I  heat embossed several of the images with white embossing powder on an array of colored cardstock. Next, I die cut the images and did some faux watercoloring with my reinkers to add some depth. I realized the Layered Baby Wreath Stencils worked with some of the dies from the Baby Basics, woohoo!  I did some ink blending and die cutting and viola we have some super cute images. 

For my background I used the new Stacked Scallops stencils for the base and for the smaller layer I used new Baby Wreath Stencils, all the wreath stencil sets are a favorite of mine! I needed a resting place for my images, so I decided to use the new Eyelet Squares Dies, yes we have Eyelet Squares!  I adhered the images to the eyelet square. 

My next and final step was a sentiment.  I used the new Sentiment Strips: Occasions stamps with my very much loved Sentiment Strips Dies and ta-da all done!  It’s a super adorable card and the images are the cutest!

For my second card I stamped, die cut, and colored my images from Baby Basics stamps and coordinating dies with an array of Olo and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. My color inspiration is from the new Sweet Dreams Shaker Beads!  For my card base I added some splatters of grey and blue to the top left and bottom right of the panel.  Next I added strips of cardstock using the Simple Strips Dies.  And yes friends it’s shaker time, my next panel I cut out two of the images from the Baby Basics Dies.  I added some acetate, foam, the new Sweet Dreams Shaker Beads and viola! 

Next,  I adhered the images to the panel! I used one of the sentiments from the Baby Basics stamp set. I added some gel highlights to the images!

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peeks and thank you so much for stopping by! The release is chock full of celebrating goodness!  Have a great day!

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 first as they’re all absolutely perfect for the Spring season, but I decided I just had to use the Layered Bunny Faces for a cute critter card and Layered Floral Vines for a floral card for Mother’s Day.

New release will be available March 6th

For the first card, I used the Layered Bunny Faces with a white pigment ink for Stencil (A) with the bunny shapes, Black Soot Distress Oxide for Stencil (B) with the bunny face details, and Rosy Cheeks Lunar Paste for Stencil (C) with the bunny ears and nose! I used kraft cardstock as I thought it would be so fun to have the bunnies in white.

When the stenciled bunnies were dry, I trimmed the panel to 4-1/4×5-1/2” (A2 size). I cut Bunny Face Shaker dies from white, black and pink cardstock to create a matching bunny face to the stenciled panel. I also cut the second largest Eyelet Circle out of pink cardstock, the carrots from Big Easter Cupcake in green and orange cardstock, and finally my Sentiment Strips out of white cardstock. I used “Hoppy Spring” from the Sentiment Strips: Easter stamp set!

For the second card, I wanted to create a Mother’s Day card with pink daisies, so I used those colors to inspire my stenciling! I started with a green ink for the vines on Stencil (A), pink ink for the flowers on Stencil (B), and Shooting Stars Lunar Paste for the center of the flowers with Stencil (C).

When it was dry, I cut the panel to 4×5-1/4″ and adhered it to a base of pink cardstock. I stamped and colored the images with alcohol markers from Daisies and used the Daisies coordinating dies to cut them out. I also hot foiled “Mother” from the Mom/Mother Foil Plates and used the Mom/Mother Shadow dies to cut it out. It’s a simple, but I think elegant card to sit on a mantel for the holiday!

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of the new Layered Bunny Faces and Layered Floral Vines 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, and I am so excited to share sneak peeks of the new dies today. You are going to love them! They are everything that makes a heart happy in the spring. Not only that, but you will probably also be delighted to hear that the dies are no longer wired together, which means they are ready for crafting right out of the package. Yay!

New release will be available March 6th

For all of you butterfly lovers out there, this release is going to make you really happy. The new Butterfly Cover Plate and Stitched Butterflies are fabulous!  I used both on my card today. I pulled my color scheme from the new Pastel Party Shaker Beads, so naturally I needed to make a shaker card. I just love the way the beads sound!  

After die cutting several of the Stitched Butterflies with cardstock and vellum, I layered them together. You are going to love the variety of sizes and styles!  I wanted them to playfully fly across my card, so I added little flight trails using 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.  

PS If you look closely inside the butterfly windows, you will also see a peek of the new Pierced Leafy Vines Plate that I used on my card base.

I finished the card with the new Spring Script Die and a sentiment from Sentiment Strips: Easter. 

My next card just screams spring (but in the happiest way). The new Bunny Face Shaker is absolutely darling!  I decided to make her a little girl bunny, and gave her a flower crown using the new Spring Mug Additions. (No worries, though…I made a little boy bunny on a different card and they are equally adorable.)

I created a colorful background using the Easter Egg Border Dies and used a vellum circle cut with the largest Eyelet Circle Die, so the sweet bunny would still stand out from the busy background. 

Then I embossed a sentiment from the previously released Easter Wreath Stamp Set onto a rounded stitched rectangle found in the Big Easter Cupcake Dies. Finally I framed the sentiment with two tulips from the Spring Mug Additions.

This card instantly makes me smile every time I see it. I hope it makes you smile, too! 

Thanks so much for joining me today!  I used many of the new dies on my cards, but there are a few more that I haven’t shared yet, so make sure you come back all week to see more of this fabulous new release. You won’t want to miss any of it!

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a sneak peek of the new Decorative Butterflies stamp set. The Decorative Butterflies stamp set includes both solid and outline butterflies, along with patterns and sentiments.

New release will be available March 6th

For my first card, I used the solid images to stamp with dye inks. I added patterns with a darker ink in the same colour family, then went one ink darker for the butterfly bodies.

I  die cut everything with the coordinating dies and adhered the bodies onto the butterfly wings.

Next, I used the new Layered Butterfly Lattice stencil set. This is a 2 layer stencil set, and I used a light grey ink on the lattice and Nuvo Glacier Paster in Winter White for the butterflies. Once dry, I trimmed this down to 5” square and adhered to a 5.25” card base.

To add a place for my sentiment to go, I die cut one of the new Eyelet Circles from white card. I stamped a sentiment from the Decorative Butterflies stamp set, then adhered the circle in the centre of my card.

I finished by adding the butterflies with foam tape for dimension.

For my second card, I used the outline images in the Decorative Butterflies stamp set.

I stamped them over some patterned papers, then added shading with copic markers. On some of the images, I heat embossed the patterns with gold embossing powder.

Copic colours:
R30 R20 R22; RV00 RV10 RV21: G40 G43; B000-01; BV00-02; E70 E71 E74

I cut a panel of white card, 5.5” x 2.75”, and adhered butterflies across the panel. For the butterflies without patterns added, I decided not to add the bodies so they were more of a background element.

I trimmed away anything overhanging the edges of the panel, then adhered it on an A2 card base. I adhered a strip of patterned paper below, then stamped a sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips: Easter stamp set to finish.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the March 6th release!

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here and I’m super excited to be sharing these sneak peeks using Easter Cupcakes Stamps with coordinating dies and Easter Train Stamps with coordinating dies. This release is full of springtime goodness and will keep you busy crafting! Let’s get started!

New release will be available March 6th

For my first card I’m using the adorable new Easter Cupcakes Stamps and Easter Cupcake coordinating dies. I stamped the images and colored them with an array of Ohuhu markers. I also stamped and die cut a few images from an older set called Bunny Friends. Once I had all the images die cut, I added lots of white gel pen highlights. 

For my background I used the new Pierced Leafy Vines Plate, oh friends you’re going to love this die.  The texture from the piercing is phenomenal.  I backed the pierced layer with some light pink cardstock, added some black splatters to the top left corner and bottom right corner of the panel.  I wanted to add a small frame, so I took the large die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies and cut it out of an A2 white card panel.  I then adhered the frame to the panel.  I started placing the images on the card panel and realized I wanted a bit more color on the panel.  I couldn’t help myself, I decided to use another new product called Eyelet Circles Dies!  I adore anything EYELETS!  I made some frames with circles and adhered to the panel.  

I arranged and adhered all the images to the card panel. I still wanted more color on the panel, I used the new Spring Mug Additions Dies for a few flowers!  I was completely thrilled when I saw the new Mug Additions Die set! Final step, I needed a sentiment!  Yay we have a new Sentiment Strips: Easter Stamp Set! I picked a sentiment and added to a few Sentiment Strips dies.  Ta-dah all done!  These cupcakes are super cute, and I’ll be sharing some more projects with these cuties!

For my second card I’m using the new Easter Train stamp set and coordinating dies, these images are the cutest!  I’m using the Valentine Train stamp set with coordinating dies for the engine car. I stamped and colored the images with an array of Ohuhu Markers. I then die cut the images and added white gel pen highlights. Oh, I did use one of the cupcakes from Easter Cupcakes stamps with coordinating dies to fill up the empty car, I think the little chicky looks stink’in adorable!

For my background I added black splatters to top left and lower right of an A2 panel.  I adhered some colorful strips of paper using the Stitched Strips dies.  I then took a piece of white cardstock and used the new Pierced Leafy Vines Plate die and back it with yellow cardstock.  I cut the panel down and adhered it to A2 panel with the strips.  

I arranged the images on the card panel and realized I wanted more color! The new Eyelet Circles dies to the rescue!  I die cut 4 of the smallest circles in colorful cardstock. I arranged them on the card panel, and then adhered the images. I had a few bits left from the Bunny Friends Stamps and coordinating dies, I adorned the panel with the florals. The sentiment was easy-peasy, I used the sentiment from the Easter Train Stamps and coordinating dies. I finished the card with a bit of sparkle on the wheels of the train.  

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the sneak peeks!  The release is chock full of springtime goodness and it’s spectacular!

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

New release will be available March 6th

I stamped and heat embossed my sweet flowers from the Daisies stamp set, using watermark ink and white embossing powder on my first card. I loved this darling bouquet of daisies and wanted to bring them to life with watercolor markers. They look so cute bunched together, tied up with the bow you can find in the Daisies set.

I matted my daisies on one of the new die cut Eyelet Circles dies. I adore these new circles…they make your focal point and sentiments pop all while adding soft curves and scallops.  

Behind my daisies, I have used the delightful, new Layered Butterfly Floral stencils. What a sweet treat they are and they look so cute paired with the Daisies stamp set. I added in a die cut Scallop Frame on my card base to frame everything in perfectly.  All that was left was the sentiment from the new Decorative Butterflies stamp set.

I wanted to share a different technique with you on my second card, so I paper-pieced my tiny daises and love how they turned out. Paper-piecing is one of my favorite techniques, because I love the quilted, pieced together look.  

I layered each of my paper-pieced daises on the smallest die cut Eyelet Circles, cutting each from a different color. I layered this trio of circles across the front of my horizontal card. I love the colorful, simplicity of them all lined up together, don’t you?

To create my background, I used the Daisies stamp set, stamping flowers and leaves in coordinating colors found in my paper-pieced daisies.  I then sponged ink over the surfaces of each and die cut my background using the largest Eyelet Rectangles dies. My sentiment was added last, using the Decorative Butterflies stamp set once again.  

I adore these new products from Pretty Pink Posh and am officially ready for Spring! Thanks for visiting, stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

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!
