Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I can’t wait to share my latest card with you! It’s got butterflies, rainbows and a surprise inside…perfect for spring!
The Stitched Butterflies die set on the card front make for a cute, clean & simple card! But the butterflies also look amazing adhered together and hidden inside for a rainbow surprise!
The interactive element is so easy to do and can easily be customized to make your card more or less dimensional.
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel today. I’m continuing my collection of making holiday themed box cards with Spring and Easter!
I started with die cutting the Scallop Box Card Dies out of yellow cardstock for the base pieces and smooth, white cardstock for the scalloped pieces to do some ink blending. I used the new Layered Butterfly Floral Stencils with Distress Oxides in Picked Raspberry, Saltwater Taffy, Salvaged Patina, and Squeezed Lemonade to create the design on the scalloped die cuts. I assembled the Scallop Box Card base together and added the stenciled scalloped pieces to the panels.
Using a large piece of watercolor cardstock, I used the same Distress Oxides to ink squish and blend all the colors to give a watercolor look. I also splattered on gold watercolor for some sparkle! When it was dry, I used theStitched Eggs DiesandDecorative Butterflies coordinating dies to cut out eggs and butterflies. I die cut as much as I could out of the panel, but only a used a few for today and I’ll save the rest for a future project.
I glued all of the layering dies together and created a scene on the shelf piece of my box card with the eggs, butterflies and flowers. I love the softness of the eggs and bright pink of the flowers! I stamped my sentiment from the Decorative Butterflies stamp set onto my die cuts and added the sentiment to the front of the box card. My little bunny feet are sticking up above the sentiment and they’re my favorite part of the box card!
Box cards have been so fun to make and I love having my Valentine, St. Patrick’s Day and now Easter box cards on my desk! I’d love to know what I should make for May – probably something for Mother’s Day? What would you like to see?!
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I was inspired by some birthday patterned paper I had in my crafty stash to make colorful balloons on a birthday card!
I started with die cutting the Pierced Stars Plate Die from a piece of confetti patterned paper to be the background of the card. Then I cut out different pieces from the Party Balloons Dies to make six different balloons – the traditional and star balloons. I layered different pieces together to create a striped, star balloon and a balloon with star details. There are also balloons cut from holographic paper to create the look of mylar balloons!
Once the balloons were ready, I also had the balloon strings from the Party Balloons Dies in a dark blue cardstock, I layered them with liquid glue and foam adhesive in 1mm and 2mm thicknesses on to the Pierced Starsbackground.
My sentiment is stamped from the Birthday Train Stamp Set to create “Hooray It’s Your Day”. I stamped “Hooray” on white cardstock in blue ink and used the Birthday Train Coordinating Die to cut it out. “It’s Your Day” is stamped in the same blue ink on cardstock cut into a banner from the Sentiment Strips Dies.
I added the sentiments to the card, under the balloons, with foam adhesive to finish the card! I hope you enjoyed today’s process video for a fun and relatively quick and easy party card.
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. Last month I made a Valentine’s Day Box Card and I was inspired to create one for St. Patrick’s Day as well!
I started with all of my die cutting of the Scallop Box Card Dies and Stitched Shamrocks Dies from different shades and paper types of green cardstock. My Scallop Box Cardbase was die cut from a solid green cardstock, the scalloped pieces from white cardstock, and the Stitched Shamrocks from a mix of glitter, shimmer and solid light green cardstock.
Using the Layered Shamrocks Stencils, I ink blended different shades of green ink using the Pinkfresh Studio Over the HIlls Ink Cube Bundle onto the scalloped die cut pieces from the Scallop Box Card Dies. Once I was happy with the shamrocks, I also splattered on some metallic gold watercolor and set them aside to dry.
Next I colored in the pot of gold, gold coin, rainbow and shamrocks from the Lucky Stamp Set with alcohol markers, then used the Lucky Coordinating Dies to cut them out. I also stamped the “Lucky” sentiment and solid shamrocks in dark green ink on white cardstock, and “You’re So” with the same ink on a Sentiment Strip cut from light green cardstock.
I love making scene cards and theScallop Box Card die set makes it so easy to create a fun little scene inside.
I started by coloring the stamps from the Penguin Pals stamp set and the Party Time stamp set using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors: Turquoise Green, Bright Yellow, Yellow, Light Carmine, Light Gray, Cool Gray 6, and Lilac.
Next, I used the Layered Balloons Stencilto create a background of balloons. I inked the balloons using the following Distress Oxide inks: Shaded Lilac, Salvaged Patina, Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick, and Hickory Smoke.
Once I finished inking the stenciled background, I die cut it with the layering dies from the Scallop Box Card. I stamped the sentiment from the Party Time stamp setonto the rectangular layering piece that goes in front of the box card and then added all of the layering die cuts to the card base. I wanted it to look like there were balloons floating throughout the sky.
Finally, I added the stamped images to the box card to create a fun little birthday scene. I love using this Scallop Box card die setto create little scenes with stamps. It makes it look so dimensional too!
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great day! Lisa Mears
Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I’m so excited to share my latest birthday card with you! It’s a super easy interactive card with the adorable Pretty Pink Posh ValentineTrain & Birthday Trainstamp sets!
This card is super simple on the outside but inside there’s a rainbow birthday train surprise that pops up!
I love interactive cards but to make them myself, they have to be simple! LOL! This one couldn’t be easier! To create the pop-ups you don’t need any special supplies, just need a way to cut cardstock like a paper trimmer, craft knife or even scissors!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this project inspired you!
Hi crafty friends! I’m Rebecca here with two shaker cards today! Both are made with the Star Cover Plate, but the nifty part about this month’s cover plate die is that, since stars are symmetrical, you can use this die horizontally or vertically!
Simply cut the Star Cover Plate out of two pieces of cardstock and two pieces of fun foam. Adhere the die cut fun foam over an A2 piece of cardstock. Adhere an A2 piece of acetate behind the die cut cardstock. For one card use the Berry Smoothie Shaker Beads and Purple Shimmer Confetti Mix.

Hello crafty friends, June here! Today I’m sharing a new card featuring a lot of the new products from the birthday release.
I knew I wanted a very colorful background, so that’s what I started working on first. I used the Birthday Words Stencil and various colors of Distress Oxide to create an ombre background. For the fade itself I used Milled Lavender, Shaded Lilac, Salvaged Patina and Cracked Pistachio. For the stenciled layer I used a darker shade of each of those colors, which were Seedless Preserves, Dusty Concord, Peacock Feathers and Lucky Clover. I used a very light hand to apply these colors. To finish off my panel I also splattered some thinned acrylic paint on it.
One of my favorite products from this release is the Cake Shaker die. I cut it out of cream colored cardstock and made it into a shaker using some acetate and foam tape. I combined shaker bits from both the Over The Rainbow and the Berry Smoothie Mix to get the perfect color combination.
I added the candles from the Interactive Cakedie set on top of the cake and for some extra embellishments, I also added the scalloped piece that’s included in the same die set. I cut them out of different colors of cardstock and added some light ink blending on the sides for some extra definition.
For my sentiment, I stamped the ‘Party’ script from the Party Timestamp setonto some black cardstock and I embossed it with white embossing powder. I completed the sentiment by adding the ‘it’s time to’ at the top of my card panel. I adhered everything in place and tadaaaa! My festive shaker card is all done!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video on the blog today. I designed this card to make with friends at a Galentine’s Day themed crop and I wanted to share it with all of you, too!
I started with die cutting the Pierced Hearts Plate Die out of light pink cardstock. Using an ink blending brush, I added Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink to darken the edges of the A2 background. Next I cut the XOXO Heart Border Diefrom pink cardstock with the separate heart die three times from dark pink cardstock. I glued the dark pink hearts to the first three hearts on the XOXO border.
Using liquid adhesive, I glued the XOXO Heart Border to the Pierced Hearts background a little more than half way down the A2 background so that the three hearts are centered. I used a metallic pink watercolor to add splatter to the background and once everything was dry, I trimmed off the excess XOXO border from the sides of the background.
Next I stamped three of the Valentine Cupcakes Stamps in an alcohol marker friendly black ink and colored them in with my Ohuhu Art Markers. They are also cut out with the Valentine Cupcakes Coordinating Dies. I also used a white gel pen to add a few highlights and to cover up anywhere I colored outside the lines!
My sentiment is stamped in a brown ink on white cardstock from the Sentiment Strips: Valentine Stamp Set and I used the Sentiment Strips Dies to cut out the sentiment as well as the coordinating stitched rectangle in pink and scalloped rectangle in dark pink. They are all glued together to create a pretty layer of the scallops peeking out behind the rectangle.
The cupcakes and sentiment are added to the card with foam adhesive to add some fun dimension to the card. I also added some Strawberry Shimmer Confetti around my card with liquid adhesive to add more shine! I hope you enjoyed this card and let me know which cupcake is your favorite from the stamp set!
I started by stenciling the Layered Heart Lattice Stencil onto a piece of white card that measures 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”. I used Festive Berries Distress Oxide ink for Stencil Layer A and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink for Stencil Layer B.
Next, I worked on the Big Valentine Cupcake. I die cut the cupcake frosting with pink cardstock, the cake with brown cardstock, and the wrapper with metallic pink cardstock. I inked the edges of the frosting and cake with their corresponding color inks to add some depth to the die cuts. I also die cut the hearts with white and pink cardstock and stamped the words “Love” and “xoxo” inside the hearts so they would resemble the conversation hearts candy you get on Valentine’s Day.
