Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Today I’m sharing an easy birthday card I made using the Build A Gift Die Set from Pretty Pink Posh. If you like die cutting, then this set is definitely for YOU!
This die set comes with 12 dies to make gifts with ribbon and bows.
I die cut the rectangle and square gift dies using pink, teal, and orange cardstock. I die cut the ribbon dies and the bow dies as well. After die cutting all of my pieces, I glued them together. After all of my gifts were put together, I stamped the sentiment onto the front of an A2 white card base. The sentiment is from the Birthday Scripts Stamp Set.
I used aScallop Frames Die from pink cardstock and adhered to the front of an A2 white card base. Next, I arranged my three gifts on the front of the card and added Flamingo Pearls and Sunshine Pearls to the card.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!
Hi there! Laura here and today I have a couple of projects to share featuring the fun, new 3D Pinwheel Die. There are so many fun ways to use these pinwheels from topping straws, pencils, gifts & cupcake toppers and of course to put on cards.
For this first card I die cut the pinwheel with white cardstock and added color by blending ink and using theMini Polka Dots Stencil. I adhered the pinwheel onto a rotating glider that allows the pinwheel to spin for a fun, interactive element. I used the Smile Script Die for the sentiment with silver glitter cardstock.
This next card uses both the large and the smaller 3D Pinwheel dies with double-sided pattern paper.

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a fun Easter card and gift tag. For my projects, I am using the Easter Circles stamp set. I just love the images in this set. They are so adorable and perfect for all of your spring and Easter crafting.
I started my projects by stamping my images with the Easter Circles stamp setand the Easter Signs set(pinwheel). I colored the images with Copic markers (RV13/11/10 C17/15/13, YG13/03, BG 23/11, YR14/12 W22/1/0) and used the Easter Circles dies and Easter Sign dies to cut them out. Next, I added dye ink to the Easter Circles diesin coordinating colors. I love how these dies include the stitching detail, so sweet!
For my card panel, I used the Wide Stripe stencil. I placed the stencil on my panel vertically and added aqua ink. I then turned the stencil horizontal and added yellow ink to create a plaid design.
To finish my card I used the Hoppy Easter Script die to die cut my sentiment. I then used the Birthday Scripts stamp set to stamp the word Happy onto a white banner. Lastly, I attached all of my images to the card panel with liquid glue and foam adhesive.
For my tag, I used the bunny from the Easter Circles stamp set. I mounted the circle onto a tag that was created with theBirthday Circles tag die. I love how all of the circle sets and dies can be mixed and matched. It gives you so many possibilities. I can’t wait to tie this tag onto some Easter treats!

This stencil is great for creating a rainbow of colors but I thought doing more cool tones with a monochromatic look would lean this more towards a card for the guys. Guys love cupcakes too!
I had started off my card by ink blending one of my favorite distress oxide combinations that I hadn’t used in a while and that is Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch.
I’ll use two of these colors, Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers, to apply ink onto the background using the layered stencils. You can go a little heavier handed with the ink here to make it stand out a bit more.
After cleaning off the last layer of the stencil, I’ll reposition it back onto the card front and add some glitter glaze.
Since my background is pretty colorful, I’m going to keep the sentiment and images pretty simple. I’m using the Build A Cupcake stamp set and coordinating die. I’ll be doing very minimal copic coloring on the cupcake.
Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Scene cards are some of my favorite cards to make and there are so many fun products in the Pretty Pink Posh February release that I just couldn’t help myself to make a fun slimline scene birthday card.
Since Pretty Pink Posh is turning eight years old this month, I decided to make a birthday card to celebrate the occasion.
I started off by stamping the images from the Balloon Alphabet stamp set, Balloon Numbers stamp set, Birthday Borders stamp set, and the Crafty Critters Stamp set. (Note: The Crafty Critters stamp set was a promotional stamp set which has sold out. Stay tuned for when it’ll be released for purchase later this year!)
After coloring my images, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.
Next, I die cut theNature Essential Dies from plain white cardstock and set aside the cloud border and grass borders from this set.
To create the cloud background, I started by cutting a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock to 3 3/8” x 8 3/8”. Next, I used the cloud border that I die cut from the Nature Essential Dies along with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to create a cloud background for my card. I also applied Mowed Lawn Distress ink to the two grass border die cuts from the Nature Essential Dies.
Next, I began to assemble my card. I cut the Birthday Borders in half so that only the first six presents were showing. I added one of the grass borders behind the presents at the top of the border. I added the smaller grass border in front of the presents at the bottom of the border. I added some Mowed Lawn Distress ink to the bottom portion of the card panel and then adhered the Birthday Borders to the bottom of the slimline card panel. Next, I added the remaining stamped images to the card panel.
To add dimension to the clouds, I used the Build-A-Cupcake Die Set and die cut two of the frosting dies that resemble a cloud shape from white cardstock. I added Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to the clouds and then cut the cloud die cut in half. I added foam tape to the back of the cloud die cuts and added them to my card. I love how the clouds add dimension to the card.
Finally, I added the card panel to a pink slimline card base that measures 3 1/2” x 8 1/2” and added the Flamingo Pearls to the card front.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Be sure to check out all of the fun new products in Pretty Pink Posh’s February birthday release.
Hello friends! It’s Channin here and I’m so thrilled to be guesting here at Pretty Pink Posh! Today I’m sharing a fun and colorful card featuring several products from the birthday release. In the video I also demonstrate an easy watercoloring technique that creates vibrant splashy background perfect for a birthday card!
To create this card I first stamped a 5 1/4” x 6 1/2” panel of bristol paper repeatedly with the balloon and string stamps from the Balloon Alphabet Stamp Set in Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I then poured black embossing powder over the images and then heat set them with my heat tool. Next, I colored the balloons with a rainbow array of Tombow Dual Brush Pens (703, 885, 933, 055, 173, 373). After I had colored the balloons I then taped the panel down onto scrap of chipboard with painters tape and then spritzed the panel with water. Next, with a rocket air blaster I blew the activated ink around the panel to color in some of the open areas of the panel. When I had moved enough ink around and liked my results I then put the panel aside to dry.
Next, I die cut a tag using the Birthday Circles coordinating dies out of bristol paper. I then stamped and black heat-embossed the lion from the Birthday Circles stamp setonto the circle diecut from the tag. I also stamped and black heat embossed a couple more balloons and balloon strings onto bristol paper. I then watercolored the images using the same rainbow array of Tombow Dual Brush Pens and couple more colors (993 & 947). When I had finished coloring the images I then die cut the balloons and balloon strings out with the coordinating dies.
Next, I created a backing for my tag by tracing around it onto a scrap of white cardstock and then fussy cutting it out. I then adhered the diecut tag on top of its backing with foam adhesive strips and then glued the lion circle inside. I then adhered a tiny black and white twine bow to the top of the tag. Next, I stamped and white heat-embossed a sentiment from the Build a Cupcake stamp setonto black cardstock. I then trimmed the sentiment down to a strip and then adhered two stacked strips of black cardstock to the back to add dimension.
Now that the watercolored panel had dried completely I then trimmed it down to an A2 panel and adhered it onto the front of an A2 top-folding white card base. I then adhered the tag and sentiment to the card front. Next, I adhered the balloons and balloon strings together and then adhered them to the card front with foam adhesive. Lastly, I finished the card by adding shadows around the balloons and lion with a gray (N89) Tombow Dual Brush Pen.
I hope you enjoyed my card and video. Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Today I’m sharing a fun birthday shaker card I made using the Party Cake Die Set.
**The new release has been selling like hotcakes! For the first time ever, we are offering pre-orders on some of the sold out items. You can find all of those products HERE. **
This die set comes with a square frame that you can use with or without the inside scalloped edge. It also comes with a cake die. You can use the dies alone or you can use them together to frame the cake like I did in my card.
I started off by using the frame die to die cut a piece of green cardstock and a piece of yellow cardstock. I used the green cardstock piece for the square frame and the yellow cardstock piece for the inside scalloped edge. I added those diecuts to a piece of acetate. On the reverse of the frame, I added double-sided adhesive foam to outline the square frame and then I set it aside.
Using the cake die, I die cut three pieces of cardstock – gray, pink, and green. I assembled the cake starting from the bottom to top onto a piece of white cardstock that measures 3” x 3”. I added the 3” x 3” piece with the cake assembled to the top middle of a piece of white cardstock that measures 4” x 5 1/4”.
Next, I addedSherbert Clay Confetti to the center of the cake and then added the frame to the top to seal in the confetti pieces.
I die cut the Celebrate Script word die with pink cardstock and added it beneath the frame on the card front.
Next, I added the white card panel to a piece of yellow cardstock that measures 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. I added the yellow panel to a piece of green cardstock that measures 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”. I added the final layer to an A2 white card base.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of my card.

After I finished coloring the stamps, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.
Next, I die cut a Scallop Circle Die two times – once with red cardstock and once with white cardstock. I used the red piece for the outside of the frame and the white piece for the inside of the frame. I added Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink to the center of the white piece.
The trick to make the wreath look larger is to cut the wreath in half. Make sure you cut the wreath down the horizontal center at 1.75 inches so that you end up with a top half and bottom half.
Next, I cut a piece of green cardstock that measures 4 1/8” x 1” and adhered it to the center of a piece of white cardstock that measures 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. Next, I added each piece of the wreath so that the flat edge of the wreath is touching the green strip of cardstock. Then I added two heart borders – one at the top of the green strip and the other one at bottom of the green strip.
To finish my card, I added the scallop circle die cut frame to the center and added the dog stamp on top of the scallop circle. Finally, I added the card layer to an A2 size red card base.

I have a video tutorial on the Pretty Pink Posh Youtube channel that you can check out down below or HEREon the channel.
I started by ink blending my background using Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink on 80 lb white cardstock. I always go back over my colors numerous times to help smooth out the transition.
Then I added theScattered Hearts stencil and ink blended on Wilted Violet towards the top and Picked Raspberry towards the bottom. This creates a nice contrast from the background.
Since the distress oxide inks are water reactive, I flicked water onto the background using a paint brush. This adds some subtle interest to the background. I also wanted to add some gold to my card so I added a couple drops of water to my starry watercolors and flicked that onto my background as well.
I stamped the wreath from Valentine Wreath stamp in copic friendly ink and colored with copic markers. Since the images are pretty small, I didn’t do any shading to my images. Then used the coordinating die to cut out the wreath.
One of my favorite tricks to white embossing on black cardstock is by using white pigment ink. I feel like I get better results. The sentiment I used today also comes from theValentine Wreath stamp set.
I finished off my Valentine card by popping up both the wreath and sentiment using foam squares.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you enjoyed today’s card.
