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.
Hello crafty friends! Rebecca here and I am so in LOVE with the latest release! One of my favorite things about a Pretty Pink Posh release is how well all of the supplies work together. In fact, today I am sharing a card that combines stamps, dies and stencils!
To create the background I used the Lattice Hearts Layering Stencils. This is a 2 pack of stencils. One creates tiny hearts and one creates a criss cross of stitches. You could use them separately, but when you combine them you create the sweetest hearts and stitches background!
Next I die cut several colors of hearts with the Eyelet Hearts Dies. I used the second largest heart which I cut out of light blue cardstock to match the background.
Then I stamped a bunch of images from the Sweet Chocolates stamp set. I love to color all the images and die cut them out with the Sweet Chocolates coordinating diesand then decide which I will use on my card. Any extras can stay organized in the stamp and die pocket for future cards.
At last comes the fun part of putting it all together! I love the look and interest that is created on a card by combining stenciling, die cutting and stamping!! The Pretty Pink Posh releases are meant to work together so have fun mixing and matching to your heart’s content!
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 boxcard of chocolates is just too cute!
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!
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
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.
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! Lisa Mears
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.
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!
