Sneak Peeks

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!

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!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a little peek at the new Spring Chicks Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies, Layered Chicks Stencils, and the fabulous Scallop Box Card Dies!

New release will be available March 8th. 

I started with stenciling the Layered Chicks Stencils with Distress Oxides – the chicks are Squeezed Lemonade (bodies), Dried Marigold (wings/beaks) and Ground Espresso (eyes). For the eggs, I did a mix of Spun Sugar, Salvaged Patina and Twisted Citron to get some pastel colored Easter egg shells!

Using the Scallop Box Card Dies, I die cut the scalloped panels out of my stenciled cardstock. I die cut the Box Card out of yellow cardstock – the large base was cut once and the smaller panels were die cut three times. I adhered the box together with two of the smaller panels as little “shelves” for my stamped images and used some strong adhesive tape to ensure my box was nice and sturdy.

The scalloped die cut pieces were glued to the inside, back panel and sides of the Box Card. Before I glued the front panel on, I stamped the “You’re so tweet” in Pinecone VersaFine ink. You can also die cut another large, scalloped panel to glue on the back of the Box Card so you can write a personal note!

Next I stamped some of the adorable chicks in eggs and one without an egg in alcohol marker friendly brown ink from the Spring Chicks Stamp Set. Using Ohuhu Art Markers, I colored them in with colors that matched as best as I could to the Distress Oxide colors in the background. Once I added some highlights with a white gel pen, I die cut them out with their Coordinating Dies.

I added the images to the “shelves” inside of my Scallop Box Card– I just love the three eggs with the chicks popping out! They went on the back shelf and my other two chicks are in the front so you could see them peeking around each other.

I hope you’re as excited as I am for the Scallop Box Card Dies and these cute Spring Chicks for your Easter and Spring cards!

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here and I’m excited to be giving you a sneak peek of several new dies releasing this month. Creating these projects truly felt like a party! 

New release will be available February 8th. 

My first card uses the Birthday Mug Additions. It’s a fabulous set that compliments the Winter Mug Dies, but it can also stand on its own.  

I love the look of mugs that have a different color on the handle and the inside, so I set out to create them on my card using the Winter Mug dies. I simply trimmed off the handle of the mug in a darker shade and adhered it on top of the lighter mug’s handle.  

I filled the mugs with dies from the Birthday Mug Additions and added several on the card base as well.  These dies have lots of paper piecing options and cute stitched details. The tiny stars and rectangle details on the stitched stars and balloons are from the little confetti dies in the new Fancy Cake die set. I thought they paired perfectly together.  

Finally, I added the sentiment onto the mugs using the new Wish Big Script Dies. This card is a little over the top, kind of like a party exploded on it, but it sure makes me smile.   

Next up is a matching little gift bag.  

The new Gift Card Bag die is so much fun! You can cut the die once and adhere it to a card base, or you can cut it twice and create a little bag that stands on its own as I did here.  A gift card tucks perfectly inside, but thin treats, jewelry, etc. could fit inside, too.  

I chose to die cut the die in two different shades of blue, and adhered the tabs to each other to create a little bag. I decorated the front of the bag with the Spring Corner Frame die, trimming off the excess portion. Then I added a little piece of cake from the Birthday Mug Additions and one of the sentiments in the Gift Card Bag die set.  

There were so many fun dies, so I made a second card/tag set.  

I used the candle dies from the Birthday Mug Additions as the focal point on my card and paired them with the new Large Celebrate Shadow Dies.  

Next I cut the little confetti/sprinkles dies in the Fancy Cake die set in 9 colors until I had a big pile. I added liquid glue across the bottom of my card then sprinkled the confetti all over it.  

It reminded me of the sprinkle covered cakes, so I repeated the idea on a matching cake tag using the Fancy Cake dies. The “celebrate” sentiment is from the Gift Card Bag dies. 

I die cut the cake from a folded piece of cardstock, so the the tag opens like a little shaped card. 

Thanks so much for visiting today! These dies have boundless potential for creativity and are so much fun to use. Join us tomorrow as we reveal the products and the bundles go live!

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be back sharing a sneak peek of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh. This release is packed full of fun new birthday products and includes four new stencil sets! Today I will be using two of the sets- Layered Birthday Cakes and Layered Party Hats– let’s get started. 

New release will be available February 8th. 

My first card uses the Layered Birthday Cakes stencil set. This is a four pack of stencils that line up to create the sweetest cakes ever! I used dye ink for my blending and chose to use colors with a more “boyish” feel… though these cakes are adorable with any color palate! For my last layer (the candle flame) I used Glitz Glitter Gel in gold for a little extra sparkle. 

Next, I trimmed my panel down and attached a thin strip of gold glittered cardstock to the top. I then attached my panel to an A2 card base. Lastly, I used the new Large Celebrate Shadow die for my sentiment. 

My next card uses the new Layered Party Hats stencil set.

I started my card by using the Layered Party Hats stencil set to create my card panel. This is a set of four stencils that layer together to create a fun birthday panel. I once again used dye ink and finger daubers for all of my blending. On my final layer (the party hat toppers) I used Glitz Glitter Gel in gold again, to add a little sparkle. 

To finish my card, I trimmed my panel down and attached it to a bright pink card panel before attaching it to an A2 card base. I then used the new Birthday Mug Additions die to create a coordinating party hat. I attached the die cut hat to a Stitched Tag oval with foam adhesive. Lastly, I used the Simple Sentiments set for my sentiment. 

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

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hi friends! It’s Zsofi here today and I am sharing a sneak peek of the Wish stamp set. It is an incredibly versatile set full of small images besides the big sentiment and it comes with a coordinating die set. I made several cards to show you how many different ways you can use this set.

New release will be available February 8th.

For my first card I stamped the big Wish sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink in the middle of Bristol Smooth cardstock which measures 4.25 x 5.5 inches. I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I love the raised edges and in this way I can be sure that I will not smear the ink while doing some ink blending.

I masked off the sides of the cardstock with masking tape and used Distress Oxide inks with a blending brush to give it some colour: Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers. Then I squeezed some ink on my glass mat and painted the images using a clear shimmer pen as a paintbrush. It gives a tone-on-tone sparkly look, I love it!

I cut down the panel tiny and gave it a blue violet mat. I also white heat embossed a sentiment on black cardstock and cut it down to be a thin strip. I used 3D foam squares to pop it up. I finished the card by adding glossy accents to emphasize some details.

CARD #2

For my second card I white heat embossed the big Wish sentiment on Bristol Smooth cardstock and did a quick ink blending with Distress Oxide inks: Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed. I used the coordinating die to cut it out and I also cut it from black cardstock to create a shadow for the sentiment. I simply adhered the black letters tiny offset behind the inked ones.

I used the Scallop Borders die set to cut down a piece of white cardstock, I love the stitching detail. I used another die from the same set to cut the scalloped border and blended it with Picked Raspberry ink. This way it surely matches the sentiment in colour. I added some diluted ink and gold splatters to the white background, stamped a sentiment on the top from the Wish stamp set and adhered the letters.

I used the new Streamer stencils to add a fun black pattern to the card base before popping up the focal panel.

CARD #3

As the Wish stamp set has a lot of small images, I wanted to create a fun shaker card using those: I cut the coordinating Wish die in the middle of a piece of white cardstock and stamped the small images around. Using a stamp positioner makes this process super-fast. I quickly coloured them with Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers but without shading, just very simple colouring. When I was done, I used a black Memento marker on the die cut edges, I gives it a very thin border.

I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the coloured panel and added 3D foam tape around the window. I used a light purple card base and poured some Funfetti Mix to the middle and assembled the shaker.

I white heat embossed the sentiments on black cardstock. I used the coordinating die for one of them – I love die cutting stamped sentiments! The other one I cut down to be a thin strip and adhered both to the window.

As a finishing touch I used a clear shimmer pen to make some elements sparkly.

Make sure you come back in the coming days to see all the amazing inspiration and product reveals from the design team. Thank you for stopping by, I hope you were inspired!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a little peek at the new Birthday Signs stamp set and coordinating dies! It’s an adorable set that adds more critters in the signs line of stamps.

New release will be available February 8th.

I started with stenciling some party hats using the new Layered Party Hats Stencils with Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn and Broken China Distress Inks. The first layer of hats was a light layer of ink and the hat details layers were with the same ink, but a heavier hand with the ink.

The final layer were the stars and I used some Champagne Gold Stencil Butter for some shine! Once the background was dry, I die cut it into a slimline background and adhered it onto a slimline card base (3.5 x 8.5” when folded) with a shimmery gold background.

Next I stamped the lots of images from the Birthday Signs stamp set. Using Ohuhu Art Markers, I colored in the sweet critters, birthday cake, presents and cupcakes. Once I added some highlights with a white gel pen, I die cut them out with their coordinating dies.

I added the images in the same rainbow order as my background using foam adhesive for some dimension on the card.

I hope you’re as excited as I was to see a tiger and alligator in the signs line of stamps and that you enjoyed this little sneak peek! Come back for tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a sneak peek of two new stamp sets- Birthday Balloons and Birthday Sentiments.

New release will be available February 8th. 

The Birthday Balloons stamp set comes with both an outline and solid balloons image, along with stamps to add decorative patterns and strings for the balloons.

I stamped the solid balloon image with different coloured inks. Once the inks were dry, I stamped the patterns and heat embossed them in silver. I stamped the balloons strings, then die cut the images with the coordinating dies. The background is created using the new Streamers stencil set, with Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo distress oxide inks.

I adhered it to a square card base, then stamped a sentiment from the new Birthday Sentiments stamp set. I adhered some layers behind the balloons, then added them and the strings to the card to finish.

The new Birthday Sentiments stamp set is perfect for both the outside and inside of your cards, along with gift tags. The coordinating die set comes with a unique tag shaped die so I created a card with matching tag.

For my CAS card, I stamped the candles from the set and coloured with copic markers. I die cut them with the coordinating dies and added layers for dimension.

On an A2 panel of card, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Birthday Sentiments stamp set. I adhered the three candles above, then adhered the panel to an A2 card base.

For the tag, I stamped out presents and coloured with copic markers. I coloured two of each, so I could adhere them back to back and the present can be seen from both sides of the tag.

Next, I die cut two tags. I heat embossed, in gold, a sentiment from the Birthday Sentiments set on one tag. On the other, I heat embossed a ‘to:’ and ‘from:’. I adhered the presents to show through the space in the tags, then adhered the tags together to finish.

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you were inspired by these samples, these sets are so fun to use!

Hi Friends! Raquel here and I’m so happy to be here today to share with you some fun and wintery project. I’m showcasing the Winter Mug die set and Winter Foliage die set for the upcoming release. This holiday release is jam packed with so many gorgeous and creative products that you are going to love!

I started this project by creating a background. I used the new Layered Christmas Lights Stencils. I decided to use just the first layer so that my background had this dreamy look and not too busy.

New release will be available October 17th.

Next up I die cut several dies of this set and also used the pine branches dies from the Winter Foliage Die.

I applied some ink to my die cut pieces with a blending brush. These are the colors I used:

Mug: Salvaged Patina, Evergreen Bough and Pine Needles Distress inks.
Greenery: Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint and Rustic Wilderness Distress inks.
Pine Cones: Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain distress inks.
Berries: Festive Berries Distress Inks.
Snowflake: Pine Needles Distress Ink.

I applied some glossy accents on almost every single pine tree or of leave and then added Clear Rock Candy Glitter and Distress Mica Flakes.

Lastly, I stamped my sentiment from the Holiday Sentiments stamp set and added the gorgeous Pine Green Pearls.

I started this project by creating my background using one of the new Layered Foliage stencils with Speckled Egg, Festive Berries, Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo Distress inks.

Next, I die cut almost all the pieces of this stunning set out of watercolor cardstock. Then comes the part that I love most about creating that is coloring these die cuts.

After debating between different colors combos I decided to use the same colors I had used for my background so the final design had a cohesive look. I have become addicted to using Rock Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter and Distress Mica Flakes on my holiday projects so I applied some Glossy accents onto the poinsettia and almost all the foliage and then sprinkled some of glitter and flakes with my fingers.

I also added some Ruby Red pearls and gold heat embossed the Joy sentiment which is from the Pine Wreath stamp set.

I hope I gave you some ideas to create with these new die sets, you are going to enjoy these dies so much! Join us tomorrow for the last sneak peek featuring the new stencils.
