Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel today. I love a good box of chocolates, but a box card of chocolates is just too cute!

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

My project today is using products from Pretty Pink Posh’s latest release and I just love the Sweet Chocolates stamp set. They also match perfectly with the Layered Chocolates Stencils from last year’s release!

I started with die cutting all of the scallop dies from the Scallop Box Card Dies from a vanilla cream cardstock. Using the Layered Chocolates Stencils, I started with the (A) stencil with Ground Espresso Distress Ink, then the (B) stencil with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink, and finally the (C) stencil with Chocolate Stencil Butter.

While the stencil paste was drying, I stamped the candy images from the Sweet Chocolates stamp set with an alcohol marker friendly black ink and cut them out with the Sweet Chocolates coordinating dies. Using Ohuhu Art Honolulu Alcohol Markers, I colored my images in and you can see the colors in today’s video!

Next I cut the remaining dies from the Scallop Box Card Dies out of a raspberry pink cardstock and assembled the box card together. I added a couple of the chocolates with acetate to give them a floating look on the box card! My sentiment is stamped from the Sweet Chocolates stamp set and die cut with the Sweet Chocolates coordinating dies and Sentiment Strips Dies.

I attached the sentiment banner to the front of the box card and added a few Espresso Confetti around the box card for some shiny, final touches.

I hope you enjoyed this card and make sure to leave a comment on the video of which chocolate is your favorite on the card!

Hello friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today sharing a PUP-cake Valentine’s Day card.  If you would like to see how I made my card, watch my video on YouTube.

For the background of my card, I used the Half Heart stencils. I love these stencils because you can use different color inks for each side of the heart. I used the following inks:

Layer A – Distress Oxide, Abandoned Coral Ink
Layer B – Distress Oxide Seedless Preserves Ink

For the stamped images, I used the Valentine Cupcakes stamp set and the Sweet Chocolates stamp set. I colored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors:

Cupcake: Sand (dog), Flesh Color (dog’s eye), Sugar Almond Pink (nose), Purple and Light Carmine (cupcake wrapper), Light Carmine (heart). I used the Blender marker to blend the colors.

Chocolates: Mid Brown, Purple, Light Carmine, Blender
Hearts: Purple, Light Carmine, Blender

I added the stamps to two Eyelet Hearts. I used the largest die in the set and inked each side of the heart with the same color Distress Oxide inks I used for the stencil — Abandoned Coral and Seedless Preserves. I die cut another heart from white cardstock and layered it on top.

I die cut the Be Mine Shadow from white cardstock and colored it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in Purple and Light Carmine. I used a water brush to blend the colors.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a sweet day!

Hello friends! This is Mindy and I’m here to share one of my favorite cards created from the
Valentine release using the Valentine Cupcakes. I have a full video tutorial explaining how I
created this card and the supplies used.

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

A couple sets that I’m going to be using to create this card are the Valentine Cupcakes and
Sweet Chocolates stamp set. My images are colored on X-Press It Cardstock and colored with Olo Markers.

Another one of my favorites from this release is the Layered Heart Lattice stencil. I ink blended it with Salt Water Taffy and Candied Apple Distress inks.

The Eyelet Rectangle adds just a perfect touch to my Valentine design and so I trimmed my
stenciled panel down to fit just inside of the rectangle. Then adding my cupcakes and sentiment
with foam tape.

I hope you were inspired by today’s card and video. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video to celebrate the upcoming New Year! It’s hard to believe we’re moving into 2024 and I’m so excited to continue sharing inspiration with Pretty Pink Posh products with you.

After gathering some colored cardstock, I added an A2 piece of dark green cardstock to my card base. I used the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die to cut a piece of dark blue cardstock and adhered it to the center of the card base.

The next layer is a piece of cream cardstock and I stenciled Distress Oxides in Aged Mahogany, Tattered Rose and Victorian Velvet with the Layered Music Notes stencils. I splattered on some champagne gold watercolor to give it some shine and when it dried, I used the second largest Stitched Torn Rectangle Die to cut it out. Before attaching this piece to my card base with foam adhesive, I embossed the “Happy New Year” sentiment in gold from the Happy New Year stamp set.

Using the Happy New Year stamp set and Balloon Numbers stamp set, I stamped my images with an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used Ohuhu Art Markers to color my images; you can watch the video today to see the colors I used as well as how I added some white colored pencil and glitter markers to turn my balloons into mylar balloons! I used the Happy New Year coordinating dies and Balloon Numbers coordinating dies to cut out the images.

My balloons were added to the card base with liquid adhesive and I layered on the champagne bottle, champagne glasses and party horn with foam adhesive. For some final touches, I added sequins from the Matte Gold Confetti Mix around the card.

I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season and I wish you a Happy New Year!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today using one of my favorite PPP sets- Penguin Pals stamp set . I am coloring them with fun colors and putting them onto a box card!

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

I started with using the Layered Mittens Stencils to add green, blue and purple inks to a light blue piece of cardstock. After the splatter of metallic watercolor ink dried, I cut the scallop dies from the stenciled set and the box card dies out of a dark blue with the Scallop Box Card Dies. I assembled the box together using my adhesive runner.

Next I stamped my images from the Penguin Pals stamp set and colored them in with Ohuhu Art Markers, then used the Penguin Pals coordinating dies to cut them out. I added the penguins to my assembled box card and then moved onto the sentiment.

I decided to use “Winter” from the Holiday Scripts stamp set and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also stamped “Season’s Greetings” from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set. I cut the secondary sentiment with the Sentiment Strips Die Set as well as vellum and the dark blue cardstock. The sentiments were layered together and popped up to the front of the box card.

For final touches, I used the Aqua Shimmer Confetti, Mint Shimmer Confetti, and Purple Shimmer Confetti mixes to add some shine around the box card.

I hope this fun colored box card inspires you today to have some winter fun crafting today!

Hi everyone! Rebecca Keppel here today with three different shaker cards made with the Stocking Shaker Die.

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

The first card is created in a way that builds the shaker down into the card. The Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads are such fun shaker goodies with a traditional holiday color scheme. For the sentiment, I used the Hot Foil Merry Christmas plates and cut out the foiled sentiment with the Merry Christmas Shadow Dies.

For the second card, I create a stocking shaped card and build the shaker up above the card panel. I used a non traditional Christmas color scheme of light colors and so the Christmas Tree Clay Confetti for inside the shaker. The Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stamp Set has a ton of perfectly sized sentiments and I used one with white heat embossing. These sentiment strips work perfectly with the previously released Sentiment Strips Dies.

Finally the third shaker is an end to end shaker or a rectangular shaker with the Stocking Shaker Die used to create a flat die cut to decorate the shaker window. To create the rectangle shaker frame, I used the stitched rectangle from the Fancy Cake Die. For inside the shaker I used the Christmas Magic Shaker Beads. I love the way the beads move so quickly inside a shaker window!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope these cards inspired you!

Hi crafty friends! Rebecca here with a card featuring the easiest way to color in stamped images! First I stamped out several of the pumpkins from the Autumn Pumpkin stamp set.

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

In different colors of ink. I quickly poured clear fine detail embossing powder on top and heat set the pumpkins. Next I used blending brushes to blend the same colors of ink that I had stamped on each of the pumpkins starting at the bottom and pulling the color to the top. This easy blending colors the pumpkins to look like they’ve been colored with blending and shading but only takes a few quick minutes!

Next I used the with the same colors of ink to create a rainbow argyle background.

Then I grabbed the Autumn Pumpkin Coordinating Dies to cut out all the pumpkins. I also die cut a flag with the Sentiment Strips Dies and placed the positive and negative of this die cut in a stamp positioner so I could line up the sentiment stamp from the Sentiment Strips Fall stamp set.

I layered a piece of white cardstock cut with the Stitched Torn Rectangle Dies on top of the argyle background and then popped up the sentiment strip and pumpkins on top.

I love this technique as it is the easiest way for my to create shaded and colored stamped images in minutes! I hope you’ll give it a try! Thanks for stopping by!
