Hi crafty friends! Rebecca here with two quick and easy colorful cards! Have you tried the Pretty Pink Posh Layering Stencils? Using them is truly the easiest way to achieve the cutest multicolor image backgrounds!

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

With just some ink pads and mini blending brushes you can ink blend over the Layered Easter Floral Stencils and Layered Umbrella Stencils with a variety of colors and create adorable Easter and Spring themed, colorful backgrounds for cards.

Once you have all your stenciling done, you don’t need to add much to your card so you can let those backgrounds shine. Choose a pretty sentiment from the Easter Sentiments Stamp Set and cut it out with the Easter Sentiments Dies.

You can trim the stenciled panel down to 4 x 5.25” to matte it on some colorful cardstock, or cut the stenciled panel out using the Wonky Stitched Rectangle dies.

Add a bit of trim under the Easter Sentiments label or cut out a few of the Stitched Strips Dies to place under the label. The multicolor panels are so fun, you don’t need much more than that, but if you do want to include some embellishments, you can die cut some images like Easter eggs from the Easter Mug Additions Dies!

The Pretty Pink Posh layering stencils come in a big variety of themes and images, so next time you need a colorful and adorable background try them for an easy way to add multicolor images to your cards!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be back on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel! Were you patiently waiting like I was for the Scallop Box Card Dies to be released? It’s perfect timing with all of the adorable Spring products recently released and I wanted to use them to create a rainy day scene with the Spring Chicks Stamp Set.

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

I started with die cutting all of the pieces I needed from the Scallop Box Card Dies, Umbrella Shaker Dies, and Nature Essentials Dies in colored and glitter cardstock. Next, I stamped and colored the images from the Spring Chicks Stamp Set and Spring Jar Stamp Set. I used the Spring Chicks Coordinating Dies and Spring Jar Coordinating Dies to cut the images out.

To add a little more fun to the card, I also stenciled some rain drops onto the scalloped arch using just the rain drops from Layered Umbrellas Stencils with some blue stencil paste. I set that aside to dry while I stamped my sentiment onto the scalloped rectangle that will be adhered to the front of the box card.

You can follow along in the video as I show how to assemble the Scallop Box Card Dies and any tips I have to help add in the “shelf” pieces and how to close the box card so that it folds flat nicely. Once the box is assembled, you can add in the grassy die cut pieces, stenciled scallop arch and sentiment to the box card. I also glued together my umbrella from the Umbrella Shaker Dies and added it to the back of my box card.

Using my reversible tweezers and a jewel picker tool, I adhered my stamped images to create a scene of Spring Chicks playing in the rain puddles. My butterfly is attached to the scene using acetate so it looks like it’s flying in the background above the playful chicks. I hope you enjoy today’s video and that it brings you inspiration for using your Scallop Box Card Dies to create fun scenes for Spring!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Today I’m sharing a card using the Spring Jar Stamp Set. This stamp set includes a mason jar, lots of flowers, a butterfly, a ladybug, and more! This stamp set is perfect for cards of all occasions — birthdays, Easter, Mother’s Day, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, sympathy, and thank you, just to name a few.

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

I colored my images using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors — Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Orange, Yellow, Light Violet, FL Green, May Green, Turquoise Green, Light Blue and the Blender. After I colored them, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

For the background, I used the Trellis Stencil. I added Scrapbook.com buttercream ink to the center of the stencil. I was going for a clean and simple look so I wanted to leave a lot of white around the edges. After applying the ink to the stencil, I removed the stencil and then added more ink directly over the stenciled background on the cardstock. This filled the white areas within the stenciled background with the buttercream ink. I added the mason jar and flowers to the cardstock.

For the sentiment, I used the Mom/Mother hot foil plate and foiled the sentiment with pink foil. I die cut the hot foiled word with the Mom/Mother Shadow dies. Next, I added some Pansy Purple Pearls and Flamingo Pearls. 

I added the card layer to a piece of pink cardstock and then added it to an A2 size card base.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Shaker cards are one of my favorite types of cards to make so I’m super excited to share a spring shaker card I made using the Umbrella Shaker die set. This die set can be used to make cards for spring, Easter, Mother’s Day, birthdays, and more. 

Be sure to check out the video to see how I put the umbrella shaker together. I added the Flower Garden Clay Confetti to the inside of the shaker. I love the vibrant colors of the flowers and the leaves in this mix. It’s so pretty!

For the background of my card, I cut a white piece of cardstock with a stitched rectangle die and then inked the bottom right half with pink ink. I was going for a clean and simple look so I wanted to have a lot of white showing on my card. I stamped a sentiment from the Easter Sentiments stamp set in the top right hand corner of the panel. 

Using the Spring Foliage die set, I die cut several flowers and some leaves from different color cardstock and inked the edges to add some depth to the die cuts. I added the umbrella shaker upside down in the lower right corner of the card panel and added the flowers and leaves coming out of the umbrella. I added this layer to an A2 size card base (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”).  

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

Hi all, Rebecca here! Today I have a birthday cake featuring cake….lots of cake! This birthday card has a birthday cake background, a birthday cake card front and a birthday cake inside the card!

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

I used the Birthday Cake Layering Stencils and some very light inks to create the background.Then I used the Fancy Cake Dies cut out of different colors of cardstock to create the big cake card front.

There is a confetti die that comes with the Fancy Cake Dies but for some extra color and dimension I added the Funfetti Clay Confetti to my cake for sprinkles. I added a foiled sentiment with the Hot Foil Large Celebrate.

For the inside of the card, I used the Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set which are perfect for messages inside birthday cards, to stamp a sentiment. Then I used the little piece of cake die from the Birthday Mug Additions Dies to add a cute small image above the stamped sentiment. Check out today’s video to see how much fun I had pulling these three ways to create cakes together in one card!

I’m already planning my next background, forefront and inside image card! I am thinking, maybe party hats next time! I’d love to hear what Pretty Pink Posh image you would combine for this trifecta! Thanks for stopping by!

Hey friends! It’s Mindy and I’m here to share some birthday inspiration with the Layered Party Hats stencil.

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

For the first layer of the stencil, I’m going to use Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina and Wilted Violet Distress Inks.

I’ll go over the second layer of the stencil with Mowed Lawn, Mermaid Lagoon and Villainous Potion Distress Ink.  I love the tone-on-tone look this provides.

The third layer of the stencil is adding the pom-poms to the top. For this I’ll be using the new Lost Shadow Distress Ink.

The final layer of the stencil adds stars to the background. I’m going to apply Gold Glitz Glitter Gel over this layer.

You can’t have party hats without presents so I stamped out the presents from the Birthday Signs stamp set and colored with copic makers. I picked out colors that would match my background. Then used the coordinating die to cut the image out.

For the sentiment, I’ll be using the Birthday Sentiments stamp set. I die cut a panel using the Spring Circles die set and stamped the sentiment in black.

I added this panel to my stenciled background using foam tape and then added the presents towards the bottom using foam tape as well.

I love how this background came out! Hope you enjoyed today’s project! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be back on the blog! Have you ever made a “mug cake” before? I thought it would be fun to make a shaker birthday mug cake and use the Winter Mug Dies, Valentine Mug Addition Dies, and Birthday Mug Addition Dies all together!

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

I started with die cutting all of the pieces I needed from the different die sets in colored
cardstock. I will add in some color to each of the images using Distress Oxide ink or my alcohol
markers so there is some dimension to the pieces. Starting with colored cardstock and adding in
ink is one of my favorite ways to have color without having to completely color a piece of white
cardstock in ink. For extra texture on the cake die cut, I also stamped the solid confetti in brown
ink from the Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set.

To make the card extra festive, I used the Streamers Stencil to create a background. The “A”
stencil was colored using Distress Oxides in Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed
Lemonade and Cracked Pistachio. The “B” stencil was colored using Platinum Stencil Butter – I
love the mix of bright colors and silver together!

While the background was drying, I started assembling the shaker birthday mug cake together.
The shaker bits are the adorable sprinkles from the Birthday Cake Clay Confetti. I also made
my sentiment in silver foil with Hot Foil Large Celebrate and Large Celebrate Shadow Die.

Once my background was dry, I assembled the card together and added a sparkly frame die cut
using the A2 frame from Fancy Cake Dies. I hope you enjoy today’s video and that it brings you
inspiration for using your Mug Dies all together – especially to create a fun shaker!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Today I’m making two projects with the Gift Card Bag die set from the birthday release. I’ll use it to make a standalone gift bag as well as a gift card pocket that you can add to the front of a card. 

If you would like to see how I made my projects, be sure to check out my video below.

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

Give a gift card in style with the Gift Card Bag die set. The bag has a 1/4 inch opening and it is just the right size to hold a gift card, money, or a gift certificate. The die set also comes with two word dies. One of the word dies says “For You” and the other one says “Celebrate.”

When putting the bag together, you will need to die cut the gift card bag die two times, one for the front of the bag and one for the back of the bag. Then use glue or double-sided tape to adhere the flaps together. 

You can add a sentiment to the front or add other dies and stamps to decorate the bag. I used the candle dies from the Birthday Mug Additions die set.

The Gift Card Bag die set can also be used as a pocket on the front of a card. When using it as a pocket, you only need to die cut the bag one time and then glue the three flaps to the front of the card.

Tip: Make sure you don’t put glue on the entire back of the bag or else you will not be able to insert a gift card. 

I decorated the front of the bag with a Scallop Circle die and added the alligator from the Birthday Signs stamp set. I also used the Streamers Stencil to add a pattern to the bag.

I thought it would be fun to have balloons coming out of the bag so I added the balloons from the Birthday Balloons stamp set.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!
