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!

For the sentiment, I’m using the Upright Greetings: Easter set and stamping them onto sentiment strips I created using light green cardstock.

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.

Hi, friends! Lauren Taylor here and today I’m sharing a cheerful Spring or Easter-themed card featuring a delightful mix of Pretty Pink Posh products. I used the new Easter Greetings stamp set and coordinating dies alongside the adorable Bunny Friends stamp set and coordinating dies, Easter Basket Dies, and Eyelet Rectangle Dies. To add a touch of spring floral details, I incorporated the Springtime Borders Stencils.

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!

Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and one of my favorite interactive cards is a pull-tab card! Do you ever make pull-tab cards?

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.

I found everything I needed in the Big Excavator set but a birthday candle or sentiment strip would be amazing too!

Hi crafty friends! Rebecca here with a birthday card gift card holder! I love creating gift card holders so it’s so easy to give a quick last minute birthday gift!

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

To create this gift card holder, I started by creating the background with the Cascading Stars Stencil in a gradient of colors. Cut the panel down to 4×5.25” and matte on one of the colors of cardstock.

Then I cut the previously released Gift Card Bag Dies out of a coordinating color of cardstock. There are easily foldable flaps on three sides of the gift bag so bend them back, add double sided tape and then adhere down to the stars background.

Sentiment Strip Dies

You can decorate the gift bag with the Streamer Dies and some elements from the Birthday Holder Additions Dies.

For a sentiment, I stamped two of the Upright Greetings: Birthday Stamp Set and then cut them out with one of the Sentiment Strip Dies. Fold the tops of the flag back and fold over twine. Adhere them with foam squares and then tie a bow with the twine. Now you can slide your gift card into your decorated birthday gift bag!

I hope you’ll give this combination of stamps and dies a try so that you have a quick gift to give in a last minute situation!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I love fringe! I think it is so festive & fun so of course I was over the moon when Pretty Pink Posh released the Fringe Present die set! Truly I’ve been smitten with all the Fringe Hearts and Fringe Trees too!

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

I love to use tissue paper with the fringe dies for lots of fluffy texture and I think it makes this mini card EXTRA in all the right ways! 

And how cute is this mini card?!! The small size of the card allows the bow to hang over the edge but still fit nicely in an envelope. Or it makes a really fun card to add to a gift bag because the reinforced bow makes it sturdy enough to hang!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi, friends! Lauren Taylor here and I’m so excited that Spring will be here soon, and what better way to celebrate the season than with an adorable handmade card featuring a sweet little raccoon? Today, I’m showing you how to transform the Fox Holder Die Set into a charming raccoon, perfect for a fun and cheerful spring-themed card. I’ll also be using the Valentine Holder Additions Dies, Flower Garden Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies, and the Layered Butterfly Floral Stencils to bring this card to life with soft florals and bright spring colors.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

To start, I stamped and colored floral images from the Flower Garden Stamp Set using alcohol markers in shades of purple and blue-violet for the flowers and fresh greens for the leaves. To achieve a crisp and colorful outline, I stamped over the colored images again using VersaFine Clair Inks in Very Peri and Grass Green. Then, I cut all my floral elements with the Flower Garden Coordinating Dies and set them aside.

Next up, the star of the show—our adorable raccoon! I cut the Fox Holder Dies from shades of gray cardstock and customized it by trimming the face piece into a raccoon’s signature bandit mask using darker gray cardstock. I added all the details, including the ears, eyes, and a striped tail, by layering cardstock elements and using liquid adhesive to assemble this little critter. For a sweet finishing touch, I added a bow (originally meant for the basket) to the raccoon’s ear—so cute!

For the background, I ink-blended the Layered Butterfly Floral Stencils onto lilac cardstock using Distress Oxide Inks in Twisted Citron, Dusty Concord, and Milled Lavender. For an extra bit of shine, I added a final layer with Lunar Paste in Royal Flush for a pearlescent effect. Once dry, I assembled my card by attaching the raccoon and floral basket with foam adhesive for dimension. A sentiment from the Valentine Greetings Stamp Set, die-cut with the Valentine Greetings Coordinating Dies and layered for sturdiness, completed the card. For a final touch, I sprinkled a few white heart embellishments from the Valentine’s Day Clay Confetti for added charm.

I absolutely love how this springtime raccoon turned out, and I hope you do too! Happy crafting, and may your spring be filled with creativity and joy!
