Hi, friends! Lauren Taylor here and today I’m sharing a handmade card I created featuring some of the spring products! This project truly captures the essence of spring with its cheerful floral design and a playful shaker element that’s bound to bring joy.

I began by die-cutting various elements using the Tulip Shaker Dies and the Grass Border Die. From green cardstock, I cut out the grass border as well as the stems and leaves for the tulips. For the tulip tops and their frames, I chose a lovely rose pink cardstock, and for the shaker portion of the tulip, I die-cut the flower bud shape from acetate, using a helpful trick of placing printer paper underneath to ensure a clean cut. Assembling the tulips involved adhering the pink tops to the green stems and leaves. The shaker tulip required attaching the acetate to the frame using adhesive.

The real magic happens with the shaker element! I used thin foam strips to build a little container within the tulip frame and then filled it with the vibrant Sugar Pop Shaker Beads. To seal the shaker, I attached one of the solid tulips to the back of the frame, creating a delightful interactive element. For the background, I opted for a soft, blended look using the Watercolor Oval Mask Stencil and Distress Inks in shades of Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold, and Tumbled Glass, aiming for a sunny, sky-like feel. A touch of black splatter added a bit of whimsy.

After adhering this background to an A2 card base, I arranged the die-cut tulips and grass border across the front. Finally, I added the Large Celebrate Shadow Die sentiment, die-cutting the word and its shadow from white and pink cardstock respectively, and attaching it with foam strips for added dimension. This card, with its celebratory sentiment and fun shaker, is perfect for so many occasions!

I hope you were inspired by this shaker card. Thanks for stopping by!

Hey crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel and when it comes to three dimensional or interactive cards, I am hopeless if I need to do any measuring at all! That’s why I love Pretty Pink Posh’s die sets like the Shadow Box Dies. There is no measuring required! You die cut all the pieces that you need (which are all included in this set) and adhere everything together. That includes both sides of the box as well as decorative rectangles for the window and decorative edges for the “shelves” or layers of the shadow box.

It is so quick and easy to create the shadow box that you can spend more time decorating it! I added some of the Stitched Humingbird Dies. Cutting them out of colorful cardstock really popped off the greens and blues I used for my shadow box.

You can also add a sentiment at the base of the shadow box. I used a thinking of you sentiment from the Hummingbird Floral Stamp Set which I cut out with the Sentiment Strip Dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Get ready for a burst of spring with this delightful floral shaker card. I’ve been playing with so many gorgeous new products, including the innovative Vase Shaker Dies, the beautiful Spring Floral Dies, and the intricate Layered Blooming Vines Stencils. To add a touch of delicate detail, I also used the Scallops Pierced Plate. And of course, no card is complete without a heartfelt sentiment, which I pulled from the Friend Greetings stamp set and its coordinating dies.

To create this lovely card, I started by crafting a vibrant background using the Layered Blooming Vines Stencils and Distress Oxide inks in Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover for the leafy vines, blending from light to dark. For the second layer of the stencil, I brought in Spun Sugar and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides to create a colorful floral pattern. A touch of watercolor splatters added a bit of shimmer before I die-cut the panel with the Scallops Pierced Plate. Then came the fun part – die-cutting a variety of flowers and greenery from pastel cardstock using the Spring Floral and Vase Shaker Dies. To add depth and interest, I ink-blended Distress Oxides and splattered Distress Spritzes in coordinating colors onto each die-cut piece.

The shaker element truly brings this card to life! I die-cut the Vase Shaker from acetate and adhered the frame. After adding foam adhesive to create a well, I filled it with a charming mix of Enchanted Garden Mix and Enchanted Shaker Beads for delightful movement and sound. Because I felt the background was a bit busy with the floral arrangement, I die-cut a piece of vellum using the Stitched Torn Rectangle Dies and arranged all my die-cut flowers and greenery onto it, using the vase shape as a guide. This allowed me to create a soft layer over the background while still allowing the stenciled details to peek through.

Finally, I adhered the vellum with the floral arrangement to the stenciled background and then attached the shaker vase over it. I added the sweet “You’re My Favorite” sentiment onto the vase and embellished the card with adorable little bees from the Bee Friends Stamp Set and coordinating dies, popped up on foam adhesive for dimension.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting!

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 set using 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 Stencils and 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.

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 add some extra flowers, I grabbed the Easter Bucket Additions Dies. I die cut a few flowers and stems and added them next to the tulip. I used the Butterfly Border Die to cut a couple of butterflies to add flying around the tulip. Finally I stamped a Happy Spring sentiment from the Easter Greetings Stamp Set and cut it out with the Easter Greetings Coordinating Dies. I popped that up at the base of the tulip bulb.

Isn’t it great how many die sets from this release work so well together? Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi, friends! Lauren Taylor here and today I’m thrilled to share a delightful birthday card creation featuring a mix of products! In this YouTube video, I walk you through the entire process, showcasing how to combine newer releases like the Dog Holder Dies, Birthday Holder Additions Dies, Streamer Dies, and Cascading Stars Stencil with previously released products such as the Sentiment Strips Dies and Sentiment Strips: Birthday Stamp Set. I also incorporated the Stitched Torn Rectangles and Wonky Stitched Rectangle Dies for added texture and visual interest. Get ready to be inspired by a tone-on-tone design perfect for any celebration!

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

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 Dies contributed 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!
