Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and you might know that I love shakers! I love how a shaker can be such a focal point but I also love that they can make a really cool background too, which is exactly how I used the wreath from the Floral Wreath Builder!
By making the wreath base the shaker window and filling it with glitter, it provides a lot of sparkle & texture but it is still very flat & easy to mail! And it uses some “crafty trash” aka the plastic packaging.
Hi, friends! Lauren Taylor here and get ready to steep yourself in creativity because I’ve brewed up a delightful handmade card featuring the new and absolutely charming products from Pretty Pink Posh! If you’re anything like me, you adore adding a touch of elegance to your creations, and the latest release from Pretty Pink Posh is overflowing with just that. Today, I’m sharing a card I crafted using the Tea Time Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies, the Layered Teacups Stencils, and the versatile Notched Squares Dies. Trust me, these products are a game-changer for anyone who loves crafting heartwarming cards.
To begin this tea-riffic creation, I first stamped several images from the Tea Time stamp setusing a mix of black and fadeout ink, perfect for no-line coloring. Inspired by the beloved Mrs. Potts and Chip from Beauty and the Beast, I colored my teapot and teacup with alcohol markers, envisioning their iconic charm. To add a touch of luxury, I re-stamped their outlines with clear embossing ink and heat-embossed them with gorgeous gold powder. Once cooled, I die-cut all the images using the Tea Time coordinating dies. For the background, I took a piece of lavender cardstock and, using the first layer of the Layered Teacups Stencils, applied white pigment ink through it. To give it a subtle shimmer, I spritzed it with a glitter dust spray – the effect is simply magical!
Next came the intricate details using the second layer of the Layered Teacups Stencilsand a beautiful gold glitter paste. This adds a wonderful texture and shine without the mess of loose glitter. While that dried, I die-cut a notched square from pastel pink cardstock and created a soft ombre effect using Distress Oxide inks in Milled Lavender, Sponge Sugar, and a touch of Dust Concord. To enhance the visual interest, I splattered the inked square with water, gold mica spray, and white acrylic paint, creating lovely textures and dimension.
Finally, the assembly! I adhered the stenciled background to an A2 card base, leaving a thin white border. Then, I arranged my die-cut teapot, teacup, and floral elements onto the notched square, using liquid adhesive. I even added a sweet Large Mom Hot Foil Plate sentiment, hot-foiled in a shimmering gold and cut with the Mom/ Mother Shadow Die, and a die-cut Sentiment Strip that reads “You’re Tea-rrific.” This card is a celebration of all things lovely, perfect for Mother’s Day or just to your Mom you care. For a more in-depth look at the stenciling techniques and step-by-step directions, be sure to watch my video! You won’t want to miss all the sparkly details and helpful tips. Happy crafting!
Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I have a cute and super easy interactive card design to share with you! Easy is a non-negotiable for me with interactive cards, LOL!
Hi crafty friends! Rebecca here with with a shaker card made with the Tulip Shaker Dies. The great thing about Pretty Pink Posh releases is that many of the sets work so well together!
So I started by cutting out the Grass Border Die. Then I cut the Tulip Shaker Dies out of a piece of A2 blue cardstock. Next, I adhered a piece of acetate to the back. I added foam tape in a rectangle around the tulip window. I poured Sugar Pop Shaker Beads into the rectangle then removed the foam tape backing pieces and placed a white A2 piece of cardstock on top to trap the shaker beads inside.
I cut the tulip out of pink and green cardstock and created frames to adhere on top of the window. I popped up the grass on top of the bottom of the tulip stem.
To create this card, I began by die-cutting various elements from blue and neutral craft cardstock. The background was stenciled using the Cascading Stars Stencil and Distress Inks in Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans, and Chipped Sapphire, creating a stunning gradient effect. I assembled an adorable dog using the Dog Holder Dies. The Birthday Holder Additions Diescontributed a charming cupcake and candle, while the Streamer Dies added a party flair. The “wish” sentiment was die-cut from sparkly silver cardstock with a blue drop shadow, and “make a” was stamped onto a sentiment strip.
Layering was key to this design. I adhered the stenciled background to a dark blue stitched torn rectangle, then added the streamers, ensuring they aligned with the wonky stitched rectangle. To add a touch of shine, I splattered Faded Jeans Distress Spritz onto the background. The dog and cupcake were popped up with foam adhesive for dimension. I adorned the card with Blue Shimmer Confetti, strategically placed to cover any accidental smudges.
I’m absolutely in love with the tone-on-tone look and the playful pup that takes center stage! If you’re eager to see all the details and follow along step-by-step, be sure to watch the YouTube video. You’ll witness the magic of these Pretty Pink Posh products and discover how to create a card that’s sure to bring joy. Happy crafting!
Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I might love candy even more than I love cardmaking so I’m delighted when the two things can come together like this chocolate foil egg card!
Creating foil wrapped “chocolate” eggs is super easy! You need die cut eggs like the one I used from the Easter Holder Additions set(or also the big ones from the Build An Egg set would be adorable). You need a little foil from your kitchen to wrap the eggs and a little alcohol ink to make them fun Easter colors! And don’t forget a sweet sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Easter set!
Hey friends! It’s Mindy here and I’m so excited to share this fun and festive carrot shaker card—just in time for Easter! It’s the perfect mix of cute and playful, and I can’t wait to walk you through how it all came together.
To start off, I created a tone-on-tone background using the Springtime Borders stencil, then added a frame from the Scallop Frames die to ground my die-cut elements and bring the design together.
The Carrot Shaker is super versatile—you can use it to create a classic die cut or turn it into a fun shaker element… I decided to do both!
You can either stack multiple die cuts to build up your shaker element or use foam tape—and I’m sharing a super handy tip in the video for working with foam tape!
The extra flower at the top is from the Easter Holder Additions set, but there are so many great die sets from Pretty Pink Posh that include small images perfect for adding little details like this!
I hope you enjoyed today’s Easter inspiration and feel inspired to give these fun shaker cards a try! They’re such a joyful way to send a little springtime cheer.
I began by die-cutting my Easter basket and creating a pastel stenciled background using Distress Inks in soft, springy hues.
The layering stencils were key to creating the charming floral and carrot border. I used Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks to bring the designs to life. I then assembled my Easter basket with patterned paper accents. The Bunny Friends were stamped, colored with alcohol markers, and paper-pieced with pastel patterned paper for their eggs, adding a fun touch to mix in coloring and patterned paper.
After arranging the bunnies and basket, I stamped “Happy Spring” from the Easter Greetings set onto lilac cardstock. I then adhered all the elements to an A2 card base, using a mix of foam and liquid adhesive for dimension.
To finish, I added Rainbow Shimmer Confetti for a touch of sparkle. I’m absolutely delighted with how this card turned out and how well all the Pretty Pink Posh products work together! Happy crafting!
This pull-tab design is very easy to make and you don’t even need a special die set! Look through your stash for a circle to make a notch and something to make a channel.
Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I’m getting so excited for spring…the sunshine, the flowers, the candy…I love Easter candy! And since I love Easter candy so much, I decided to create a little treat train to fill with candy!
I’ve made these little treat trains before (HERE) and they are so fun every time! And they are truly so easy to make with a simple formula for creating a box, which you can see in the process video!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’ll join us again tomorrow for another day of Easter inspiration.
