Hi, it’s Mona here, if you like stencils like me and you want to get more from them, don’t miss my cool trick on Pretty Pink Posh YouTube Channel.

For my background I have used the Hibiscus Flowers stencil set to achieve this beautiful look with various Distress Oxide colors. I have used: Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Wilted Violet colors. For the full process visit the video tutorial.

I stamped cute tiger from my favorite summer set, the Summer Fun stamp set, and now I will show you how I colored it as a bleached tiger with my coloring guide below. Before the coloring I gave a quick heat set to the image, this will prevent the ink smearing. And I started with a grayish green color, because it makes the fur warmer and more natural, then I followed the coloring like on the guide.

Instead of coloring, I made an ink blending through the Hibiscus Stencil with yellow, turquoise and pink inkpads and blended them together. The result was this pretty rainbow look.

Next, I continued with the sentiment. I stamped the summer text from the Summer Drinks with a watermark ink to a piece of violet cardstock. Then I sprinkled on it white embossing powder and heat embossed it to get a nice and crisp white sentiment, then I die-cut it. I repeated the same thing but with the Thanks a bunch sentiment from the Simple Sentiments set, this time on an orange cardstock.

Next, I cut the sentiment, as well as the created background for a 5.25” by 4”. I wanted to add to the card something colorful, so I stamped and colored some surfboards too with my alcohol markers.

In the end I styled my card and added some squeezy lemons to my card as a decoration. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Hugs, Mona

Hi, it’s Mona here, with a new video tutorial where I will show you how to create fun little summer scenes with cute images.

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

In the main focus will be this adorable Summer Fun stamp set, which has so many cute images, and I will show you how easy is to mix it with Jungle Friends, Summer Drinks, Tropical Birds or Hibiscus Flowers stamp sets.

I stamped the picked images with alcohol marker friendly black ink to Neenah solar white cardstock with the help of my MISTI. For the coloring I have used alcohol-based Spectrum Noir Illustrators, in the following shades: AG3, AG2, CG1, GY3, CT4, CT3, CT1, TN8, TN7, TN6, BO2, OR1, GB11, GB9, GB5, GB4, GB3, GB2, GB1, GB05, TN3, TN1, FS9, RB1, RB2, EB1, EB5, EB6, EB8, MG1, PP5, PPP3, PPP1, PV3, PV1, BP2, BP1, LV2, LV1, LV05, BG6, BG3, BG1, BT5, True Black, Blender. For the coloring process please visit the video tutorial.

When the coloring was done, I run the images through my die-cut machine with their coordinating dies, and followed the die-cutting process first with scalloped frames. Because these cards will be mini cards, I have used the smaller die.

I also made some waves from light teal cardstock with the new stitched Waves die-set, and I have also made a stitched border for the sand from Neenah Solar White cardstock, and made a quick ink blending on the sea with Broken China and with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo on the sand.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiments from Summer Drinks and Nautical stamp set, and run them through my die-cut machine with its coordinating dies.

In the end I styled my card and put them together with 3D adhesives. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Hugs, Mona

For these slimline cards I have used the Hibiscus Stencil with the Hibiscus Flowers stamps and coordinating dies and I can tell you that it was so much fun to play with these products together.

I stamped the images with watermark ink and heat embossed them with white and gold embossing powders. For the useful tips how I did it in bulk and how I saved lots of time, check the video out.

Instead of coloring, I made an ink blending through the Hibiscus Stencil with yellow, turquoise and pink inkpads and blended them together. The result was this pretty rainbow look.

Next, I created the card fronts. I made soft pink and teal die-cuts with the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows die set, then I splattered on them with white, teal and pink watercolors.

I also die-cut the sentiments with the Miss You Script and the You Are Special Script dies.

In the end I styled my card and put some heat embossed gold hummingbirds to the cards.

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Hi there! Laura Bassen here and today I have a colorful, floral project to share with you.

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

I used the gorgeous Geraniums Stencil Set with distress inks to create these vibrant, two-tones blooms. Then I used the Geraniums coordinating dies to cut the blooms out.

I created an oval window to frame the gold foil sentiment that was die cut using the Miss You Script die.

I popped up the die cut geraniums around the sentiment window and embellished with some Sparkling Clear Sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi there! Laura Bassen here and today I have fun, summer themed project to share with you.

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

I started by stamping the adorable images from the Summer Fun stamp set. I colored the images with Copics and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

For the background I used the Layered Surfboards Stencil set. I used distress inks to blend in the color and flicked on a little Mermaid Lagoon & Picked Raspberry at the end.

I used the Stitched Waves dies with three shades of aqua cardstock and staggered them along the bottom of the blended panel & popped it onto a white card base. I added the cute Summer Fun critters along with a few Sparkling Clear sequins for embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Good morning, friends! Lindsey here and I’m so happy to share a card with you today.  I have had so much fun creating with the June Release, and have especially been enjoying the stencils.  The Hibiscus Flowers Stamp Set is one of my absolute favorites, and the new Hibiscus Flowers Stencils make it even easier to create cards using with it.  

I started my card by stamping several hibiscus flowers and palms onto white cardstock.  The Hibiscus Flowers Stencils made quick work of adding color to the images.  I used blending brushes, so I could keep the colors light.  While I had the blending brushes out I used the Circles Stencil to lightly stencil circles onto my card base, fading the color out toward the edges.  Don’t you just love the large size of these circles?!  I’m completely smitten.  Okay, next I used the Hibiscus Flowers coordinating dies to cut out the flowers and palm leaves.  Once, I had a pile to work with, it was easy to create an arrangement to fill the side of my card.

I’m a big fan of the  script dies, and I especially adore the larger size of the Miss You Script Die. The script dies are more delicate by nature and I really wanted the sentiment to be the strong focal point, so I decided to add a second layer to it.  I die cut the sentiment in black, adhered it to a white piece of cardstock, and then used scissors to trim around the entire outline.  Finally, I popped it up in the middle of my card.

This card came together so easily and was a joy to create.  I hope you are having just as much fun with your June Release goodies!
