Sneak Peek: May 2023 Stencils

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back to share a sneak peek of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh. The new release is packed full of amazing new products and it includes four new stencil sets! Today I will be using two of the sets: Layered Birdhouses and Layered Graduation.

New release will be available May 1st

My first card uses the Layered Birdhouse stencil set. This is a four pack of stencils that layer together to create the most adorable panel! I used finger daubers and dye ink for my blending. 

Once my panel was finished, I used the new A Little Birdie set to stamp my birds. I colored them with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I stamped my sentiment from A Little Birdie set onto the die from the Easter Sentiments die set. Lastly, I trimmed my panel down and attached everything to an A2 card base to finish my card. 

My next card uses the new Layered Graduation stencil set.

I started my card by using the Layered Graduation stencil set to create my card panel. This is a set of three stencils that layer together to create a fun panel for your graduation cards. I love that you can use the school’s colors to personalize your card, so fun!! I once again used dye ink and finger daubers for all of my blending.

Next, I used the Stitched Borders 1 die set to create the white strip for my sentiment. I attached the white piece to the top of my panel and used the new Congrats Script hot foil plate and Congrats Shadow die for my sentiment. Lastly, I used the Graduation Mug Additions set to create the coordinating banner for the top of my card. 

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

Enjoy your day, Dana

Sneak Peek: Just A Note

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a little peek at the new Just A Note stamp set and coordinating dies! The 3×4 stamp set is going to be so fun for the musically talented people in your life. I have a lot of family members that are so talented and I thought it would be fun to make a Father’s Day card with this set since they’re all fathers!

New release will be available May 1st

I started with stenciling my kraft cardstock background cut with the largest Wonky Stitched Rectangle die since it would need the most time to dry. The Layered Music Notes stencils are perfect with this stamp set; I used the A stencil with Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide, the B stencil with Picket Fence Distress Ink and the C stencil with Platinum Stencil Butter from The Crafter’s Workshop.

While the background was drying, I cut a piece of vellum using the stitched label die from the Get Well Soon coordinating dies. Using Blue Belle VersaFine Clair Ink, I stamped the “You Rock” sentiment from Just A Note towards the lower right and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I also stamped the staff image and the three smallest musical notes on white cardstock and embossed them, too. Using the coordinating dies, I cut out the images and set them aside.

Since this is a Father’s Day card, I cut “Dad” from the Dad/Father Shadow Dies in some holographic cardstock as well as its shadow in white cardstock. Using a fine tip glue, I adhered the two layers together. I layered the “Dad” sentiment towards the top of my vellum label and added the staff image so it would be towards the left of the “You Rock” sentiment. Once they were in place, I added foam adhesive to the back of the vellum label where white cardstock would hide them and glued it to my now dry background. 

Finally I added my stenciled card front to a card base with foam adhesive. Using a jewel picker, I added the three music notes and some Blue Shimmer Confetti on the vellum label.

I hope you’re as excited as I am for the Just A Note stamp set and coordinating dies! Come back tomorrow for another sneak peek of the May 1st release.

Sneak Peek: Get Well Soon

Hello, Gemma here today with a sneak peek of the new Get Well Soon stamp set. This set has a great mix of images and sentiment, so there are lots of design possibilities.

New release will be available May 1st

I stamped out the images in the set and coloured with copic markers. I chose a bright but limited colour palette of turquoise, yellow and pink. I’m using almost all of the images from the set on my card today (there’s also a bowl and spoon, along with a solid heart).

I die cut the images with the Get Well Soon coordinating die set, adding two additional layers behind for dimension.

I arranged the images across a 5.24” card base, adhering them with liquid glue. There are four sentiments in the Get Well Soon stamp set. I chose one to stamp underneath the images to finish my card.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the May 1st release!

Sneak Peek: Spring Birdhouses

Hi folks, Kavya here with some more inspiration  for this month’s release! I love curating unique stamp sets and this release is filled with one of a kind products that can be used all year long! For today’s card, I will using the new Spring Birdhouses stamp set and A Little Birdie stamp set.

New release will be available May 1st

Sneak Peek: Spring Birdhouses

I started off by ink blending pale blue cardstock with Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feather distress oxide inks. For the grass, I used a generic grass die and ink blended the edges with Pine Feather distress oxide ink.

As always, I splattered them with water and lint to make it more dramatic. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from A Little Birdie and Spring Birdhouses stamp sets. Added a sentiment from Potted Roses and I was done!

Come back tomorrow for another sneak peek of the new May 1st release. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting, Kavya

Sneak Peek: A Little Birdie

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a little peek at the new A Little Birdie stamp set and coordinating dies! The new 3×4 stamp set has the cutest birds so you can add robins, blue jays and more to your spring cards. It coordinates so well with other musical and birdhouse products from this release, too!

New release will be available May 1st

I started with stenciling my birdhouse background on white cardstock with the Layered Birdhouses stencils. I used the A stencil with Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Saltwater Taffy, Squeezed Lemonade, Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass. Next I used the B and D stencils with Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral, Mustard Seed, Evergreen Bough and Mermaid Lagoon. Finally, I used the C stencil with Pearl White Stardust Butter from The Crafter’s Workshop.

While the background was drying, I cut a birdhouse from the Decorative Birdhouses die set from a light yellow cardstock as well as the scallop details and archway from pink sparkle cardstock. I added some Mustard Seed Distress Ink to darken the color of the birdhouse and used Ohuhu Art Markers in teal colors to color in the leaves to match the teal birdhouses I stenciled. I assembled the bird house together and I just love the stitched details!

From the A Little Birdie stamp set, I stamped two birds and a little branch in alcohol marker friendly black ink. Using Ohuhu Art Markers, I colored them in and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Once my background was dry, I trimmed it down to 4 x 5-1/4″ and layered it with blue cardstock onto an A2 card base. I added the birdhouse towards the center of the card with foam adhesive, leaving room for the “You’re The Tweetest” sentiment beneath.

Finally, I added my stamped images and different colors from the Rainbow Shimmer Confetti around the card as well as a few on the bird house. I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek; you’re going to love the rest of the release!

Sneak Peek: March 2023 Dies

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I’m delighted to be giving you a peek of some of the new dies releasing this month. I have been smiling ever since I laid eyes them. I just know you are going to love them!  

New release will be available March 8th. 

I’ll start with the fabulous new Easter Mug Additions. As the name states, these will pair perfectly with the previously released Winter Mug Dies, but they can definitely stand on their own. I always appreciate that about the mug addition sets. 

I started my card by building this sweet bunny with the Winter Mug and Easter Mug Additions dies. The Easter additions include several eyes, noses, and mouths to choose from, so you can mix and match to your heart’s content. 

Then I chose a rainbow of bright cardstock and cut carrots, flowers, and eggs, which are also included in the Easter Mug Additions. I added a larger flower and some greenery from the Spring Foliage Dies

If you look closely, you’ll see bunnies, eggs, and flowers that I dry embossed on the card base using the new Layered Easter Florals Stencils. Finally, I finished my card with a sentiment from the new Easter Sentiments stamp set

Next up is the adorable Umbrella Shaker die. It is the perfect size to take center stage on a card, which is how I’ve used it here. I used the same rainbow of colors as my previous card just more literally on this one.  

You are going to love this die set because you have the option to cut the umbrella in one solid piece with stitched lines, or you can use a second die to cut out the middle of each section. I used both dies, and then layered strips of each color diagonally in the negative spaces of the umbrella.

I finished off the umbrella with a shimmery gray shaft. There is also a die option for the handle that you can add.  

The sentiment on my card is the Happy Spring Shadow Die, one of two new shadow sentiment dies being released this month. 

After adding my sentiment I finished off my card with a little rain. There is a little raindrop die included in the Umbrella Shaker die set; however, mine had disappeared in my crafty mess, so I actually used the negative cuts from the “y” and “g” in the Happy Spring Shadow die for my raindrops. I did end up finding the raindrop die (hooray), but in a pinch now you know a backup option. ;)

Thanks so much for joining me today! I have several more projects using these dies that I’m excited to be sharing with you throughout the month. Stop by tomorrow for a look at all the new products.

Lastly, I attached my sentiment to my card panel to finish my card. 

My next card uses the new Layered Umbrella stencil set.

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

Sneak Peek: Flower Garden + Spring Jar

Hi folks, Kavya here with some more fun inspiration for the upcoming March release! I have two cards showcasing a bunch of products that I am sure you would love!

New release will be available March 8th. 

Sneak Peek: Flower Garden + Spring Jar

My first card makes use of the new Flower Garden stamp set. I started off by creating the Scallop Box Card die out of colored cardstock and ink blended the edges using matching dye ink. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Flower Garden, Spring Chicks and Spring Jar from the new release.

I also used Hugs stamp set for the sun and clouds. Arrange all the elements on the box die and you are done! 

Sneak Peek: Flower Garden + Spring Jar

My next card showcases the new Spring Jar stamp set. I ink blended the  background using a generic cloud stencil and blue and purple dye ink. For the grass, I used a generic grass die and some green cardstock.

Later, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Spring Chicks and Spring Jar from the new release. I also used Easter Signs and Spring Flowers stamp sets from a previous release.

Sneak Peek: Easter Sentiments

Hello hello! It’s Leica here today with a Spring-themed card, featuring the new Easter Sentiments Stamp Set. This set not only has a lot of great sentiments, but it has small images that you can use as well!

New release will be available March 8th. 

I just adore the small images in this set and the sentiments fit in a label die that is included in the Easter Sentiments Coordinating Dies. The small images are easy to color and so fun to add in cards while the ornate die would make a great focal for a card, but I didn’t use it for my card. 

My card starts with a 5” square white cardstock that is ink blended with Distress Oxide Ink in Antique Linen. I sprayed it with water for an oxidized effect. I then stamped the “Have a happy Spring” sentiment onto the center of the card panel.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Easter Sentiments Stamp Set. I used the following Copic Sketch Markers: B02/000, BV01/00, RV13/11/10, W2/1/00, Y13/11, YG23/21, and YR02/000. I foam mounted the images around the border of the card. For embellishment, I glued some Ballerina Pink Sequins. And lastly, I glued the card panel onto a 5” square side-fold white card base. 

That’s all for my super cute Spring card. Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the March 8th release!

Sneak Peek: Leafy Spring Wreath

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a sneak peek of the new Leafy Spring Wreath stamp set, from the upcoming March release. I created two cards, with different looks, to show it’s versatility.

New release will be available March 8th. 

I began with a wreath in traditional colours. I stamped out the Leafy Spring Wreath and coloured it with green copic markers.

I stamped the bow, birds, flowers and Easter eggs from the same set, along with some additional Easter eggs from the new Easter Sentiments stamp set. I used copics markers to colour everything in, then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.

On a 5×5 square card base, I adhered a subtle print patterned paper. I added a couple more layers of the wreath for dimension. In one of the centre die cut pieces, I stamped a sentiment from the Leafy Spring Wreath set.

I adhered the wreath and sentiment to the card, then used foam tape to add the Easter eggs, birds and bow, and liquid glue for the flowers.

For my second card, I chose non-traditional colours. I love the look of blue and white foliage, and I added pink and yellow flowers for a pop of spring colour.

As before, I stamped out the wreath and flowers from the Leafy Spring Wreath stamp set. I coloured the images with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies.

On a 5×5 card base, I adhered a bold patterned paper. I stacked the wreath with a couple more layers for dimension, then added a piece of vellum behind. This will soften the strong background and help the sentiment show up better.

The large ‘Spring’ sentiment is from the Leafy Spring Wreath stamp set. I stamped and white heat embossed the sentiment on navy card, then die cut it with the coordinating die. I added two more layers for dimension, then adhered across the centre of the wreath.

I added the wreath to my card, then the flowers to the wreath with foam tape to finish.

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you were inspired by these samples, this new wreath set is so fun to use!
