Hi Friends! Emily here with you today sharing two sweet as can bee cards using the soon-to-be-released products. The Bee Shaker is absolutely adorable, especially buzzing around a bright and cheerful flower garden.

I assembled the Bee Shaker using black cardstock for the outline, white with yellow ink-blended cardstock for the body, and white cardstock wings with light blue ink-blended tips.

For the shaker bits, I used the Bee Happy shaker beads. And of course, for extra cuteness, I added googly eyes and a sweet smile. I created the colorful garden using the Stitched Spring Flower Dies, which I adhered to a Rounded Stitched Rectangle background panel. For the black & white sentiment, I die-cut the Thinking of You Shadow Word die with a stamped and snipped “of you” from the Thinking Of You sentiment from the Simple Sentiments stamp set

Receiving a Just Bee-cause card will always brighten a friend’s day! My cheerful card features the Beehive Shaker with a lace-like honeycomb background using the Eyelet Hexagons. I die-cut the bee hive from white cardstock twice – once for the hive background that I ink-blended with a bright yellow and a second time for the hive inlay pieces that I ink-blended in honey yellow. I adhered the inlay pieces to the hive base and, for extra dimension, added white ink splatters. Then I stamped and colored with OLO markers the adorable bee images from the Bee Additions and Bee Friends stamp sets. 

The background was created by layering and stacking Eyelet Hexagon pieces to a white card panel. For extra dimension and charm, I stamped the center of each hexagon with a floral image with light gray ink from the Spring Blooms stamp set

May Intro: Sneak Peek Day 2

It’s Day 2 of sneak peeks for our May 14th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the Snail Shaker, Caterpillar Holder, Stitched Dandelions, and Rounded Stitched Rectangles die sets.

In this release, there are five stamp sets, four coordinating dies, 12 standalone dies, five stencils, and four embellishments.

Hi friends, it’s Christina! This release is full of irresistible bugs, the sweetest bees, and some new must-have basics that you are going to love. To give you a glimpse of what’s in store, I have two cards to share with you today. My first card features the latest critter holder, the Caterpillar Holder. I paired this adorable guy with the new Stitched Dandelions and the Rounded Stitched Rectangles for a darling summertime scene. My second card features one of the new shaker dies, the Snail Shaker. I nestled this cutie into lush garden greenery that I created using the new Everyday Branches. Let’s take a look at how these irresistible bug scenes came together!

My first step for the Caterpillar Holder card was to die-cut all the components for the caterpillar and the dandelions from colored cardstock. Even the white cardstock is actually an ivory color. Then, before assembling the die-cuts, I added subtle shading to the pieces with coordinating ink colors. Instead of opting for the usual black facial features for this guy, I chose Espresso Pearls for the eyes and a chocolate brown cardstock for his smile. 

Next, I created the background for my scene. First, I die-cut the new Checkered Pierced Plate from a happy sky blue cardstock and then layered on an ivory Rounded Stitched Rectangle Frame. To create the frame, I die-cut the largest and the second-largest dies together and saved the smaller rounded rectangle for another project. My next step was to arrange my die-cuts on the background panel and secure them in place using liquid glue and thin foam squares. My final steps were to add a wavy banner stamped with a sweet sentiment from the new Everyday Banner Greetings stamp set and attach the card front to a top-fold card base.

Now for the Snail Shaker card! This card has a few more steps, but the results are worth it, I think! My first step was to create the lush background scene. I used one of the Snowy Hills dies to die-cut a white A2 cardstock panel, separating what will be the dirt and what will be the greenery. To color the dirt layer, I used Distress Inks and then spattered the layer with more ink and an Oxide spray for texture and interest.

For the greenery, I also used Distress Inks and before spattering the panel with more ink and a white spatter medium, I stenciled on some leaves in a random pattern using a stencil I created. To create the leaf stencil, I used the negative space left after die-cutting the leaves from the Everyday Branches. You can die-cut them from acetate for a sturdier stencil, but I just used heavyweight cardstock. This is such an easy technique but has a big impact! To finish up the background, I attached the dirt and greenery panels to a card base. 

My next step was to construct the shaker. I die-cut the shaker frame piece seven times from fawn cardstock and layered them together, securing a piece of acetate between the top two layers for the window. I filled the shaker well with Chocolate Shaker Beads and then sealed the shaker with the backer piece. I finished the snail shaker by adding a rainforest green body piece, lightly inked around the edges, and Espresso Pearl eyes with a chocolate brown smile.

Before attaching the snail to my background, I finished the background scene with branches die-cut from woodgrain cardstock and leaves die-cut from two shades of green and spattered with ink. Then to break up all the green, I added a few white flowers. The last step was to add a greeting and a small sentiment, both from a new stamp set called Cute Bugs and both heat-embossed with white embossing powder.

May Intro: Sneak Peek Day 1

Welcome as we kick off the first day of sneak peeks for the May 14th release. In this release, there are five stamp sets, four coordinating dies, 12 standalone dies, five stencils, and four embellishments.

Hello crafty friends! Arsenia here, popping in with a little sprinkle of excitement and a whole lot of cuteness.

Oh my goodness, this release is bursting with spring and summer charm… and critters! Tiny, adorable, can’t-stop-smiling critters. Everything is just so stinking cute, I can hardly stand it! Today I’m sharing a few projects featuring the Stitched Bugs Dies (already a fast favorite!), the oh-so-versatile Everyday Branches (hello, scene building dreams!), and the bold and beautiful Large Hello Shadow Die.

Friends, this release truly has the cutest bugs ever. And those tiny faces? I mean… come on.  The Stitched Bugs set also includes an adorable ladybug and bee, so the creative possibilities are endless!

I have three cards and a tag to share today, all dressed up in one of my absolute favorite spring/summer color palettes. I kept lots of white space because, honestly, these bugs deserve the spotlight—they are just too cute to compete with!


Card One: Dragonfly Delight
For my first card, I fluttered over to the sweetest little dragonfly from the Stitched Bugs Dies. I layered up those wings for extra dimension (because more layers = more magic, right?). The base is one of the new Rounded Stitched Rectangles, and I created a soft little scene using the Everyday Branches along with florals from the Floral Wreath Builder Dies.

To finish it off, I added the most darling sentiment from the Everyday Banner Greetings stamp set—and voilà! A card that’s sure to bring instant smiles. And can we talk about that tiny face?! I’m obsessed. 


Card Two: Rainbow Snail Cutie
Next up… a snail, but make it rainbow!  I dove into my craft stash and pulled out my circle punches, layering and offsetting each color to create the happiest little snail shell.

I added in branches and leaves from the Everyday Branches Dies, kept the sentiment clean and simple with the Large Hello Shadow Die, and built it all on another Rounded Stitched Rectangle panel. A few glittery hearts later… voilà!

This one is all about sweet simplicity, and I love how that colorful snail totally steals the show.


Card Three + Tag: Caterpillar Cuteness
For my final card, I couldn’t resist the adorable caterpillar—seriously, how cute is this little guy?! And yes… I went rainbow again. Apparently that’s just the mood!

I perched him on a branch from the Everyday Branches, added some fluffy clouds from the Stitched Cloud Dies, and finished with the Large Hello Shadow Die. Everything sits on a Rounded Stitched Rectangle panel, and I tucked in a secondary sentiment from the Cute Bugs stamp set right onto a cloud.

Of course, I had to add a sprinkle of rainbow hearts (because… always), and I even made a matching tag to go with it. Double the cuteness, double the fun!

Join us again tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!

Video Tutorial: Using Your Scraps

Hi friends, it’s Carly. Are your cardstock scraps piling up? Mine too, always, LOL! But I think I have a solution for using them and it’s so easy… It’s all about simple repetition! Repeated color palettes, repeated die cutting of the same shapes, and cards with easy patterns!

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

Big Celebration Cupcake
Get Well Mug Additions
Easter Bucket Additions
Sentiment Strips: Valentines
Potted Daffodils
Spring Chicks

Step #1: Go through your stash of Pretty Pink Posh dies (or treat yourself to a few new ones) and find some of your favorite small shapes. For these cards I used the strawberry from Big Celebration Cupcake, the rainbow from Get Well Mug Additions and a flower from Easter Bucket Additions.

Step #2: Raid your scraps for a color palette that makes you smile.

Step #3: Put on your favorite show, podcast or playlist and die cut!!! Bonus points if you get yourself a snack first.

Step #4: Use easy card designs to create cards with the die cuts. I really like these ones, an offset grid, a column and a bit of “confetti”!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial.

Video Tutorial: Watercolored Wild Roses

Hi Crafty Friends, it’s Carly! Do you like to watercolor stamped images? Sometimes I forget how much I love it!!! It’s so easy and so relaxing! Let me share my tips for having fun and making something pretty!

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

Wild Rose Stamp Set
Wild Rose Die Set
Friend Greetings Stamp Set

TIPS:

  • use watercolor cardstock that can stand up to water without too much warping & piling.
  • stamp using a permanent ink that won’t bleed when water is added. Adding embossing powder & heat setting is optional but I highly recommend it because it creates a “wall” of sorts to contain the watercolor.
  • die cut stamped images and use low-tack tape to put on an acrylic block or clipboard that can be moved around easily.
  • use water based inks to paint with (dye reinkers are fabulous!)
  • smoosh the ink pads (or drop reinkers) onto a non-porous surface such as an acrylic block or plate to create a palette.
  • use more water to dilute color or less for a bold vibrant result, and experiment with adding more water and/or paint to wet layers to see how it moves and interacts.
  • physically move the block or clipboard to direct paint flow.
  • cover mistakes on white cardstock with a white pen.

I hope you were inspired by this tutorial. Thanks for stopping by!

Bold and Colorful Birthday Card

Hello, friends! Justin here, and, today, I’m sharing a bright and bold birthday card that is full of color, texture, and layered dimension. If you enjoy creating vibrant cards that really stand out, this design is a fun one to try. I’m also sharing a full step-by-step tutorial over on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube Channel so you can see exactly how this card came together.

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

Stitched Stars Die Set 
Happy Birthday Shadow Dies 
Sentiment Strip Die Set 
Sentiment Strips Birthday Stamp Set
Pierced Star Cover Plate Die 

Creating a Bold Star Background

The background of this card starts with the Pierced Star Cover Plate Die, which creates a subtle but detailed texture across the entire panel. This pierced pattern adds interest while still allowing the larger die cut elements to take center stage.

To build the colorful star arrangement, I used the Stitched Stars Die Set to cut several stars from cardstock. Each star was then ink blended using Distress Inks to add shading and depth. Ink blending around the edges of the stars gives them a finished, dimensional look and helps the colors transition smoothly toward the center.

Once the stars were blended, I arranged them across the background panel to create a lively and energetic layout. The mix of bright colors against the darker background helps the stars really stand out.

To enhance the background even further, I added a bit of Lime Rickey Paper Splatter. The splatter adds a playful, celebratory feel that is perfect for a birthday card and helps tie the design together.

Adding a Bold Birthday Sentiment

To finish the card, I used the Happy Birthday Shadow Dies to create a large focal sentiment. Layering this die cut and adhering it with foam tape gives the greeting extra dimension so it really pops off the card front.

Underneath the main sentiment, I added a stamped phrase from the Sentiment Strips: Birthday Stamp Set and cut it out with the Sentiment Strip Die Set. This small accent sentiment helps complete the message while balancing the bold script greeting above it.

The combination of layered stars, vibrant color, and dimensional sentiment creates a birthday card that feels festive, energetic, and perfect for celebrating someone’s special day.

Creating An Easter Egg Treat Box

Hi friends, it’s Carly here today. Is there someone in your life who would like a little Easter treat? Well, I’ve got an idea for you and it’s super easy!

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

By scoring, folding and cutting a few lines on a square of cardstock, you can create the easiest little treat box! And then you can use your favorite PPP Easter dies to decorate!

Decorative Easter Egg Die Set
Bunny Holder Die Set

I used the solid layer of the Decorative Easter Egg to turn my little treat box into an oversized egg and then added a pink bunny cut with the Bunny Holder to keep it from rolling.

Add some Cadbury Mini Eggs & Nerds Gummy Clusters and you have an adorable treat to give!

Video Tutorial: Spring Daffodils Card

Hello, friends! Justin here and today I have crafted up some floral Spring inspiration to share with you! The Daffodil Shaker Dies are so perfect for putting big and bold florals on your project, and I’m going even bigger by using 3!

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

Below is a list of Pretty Pink Posh products that I used to create this card:

Daffodil Shaker Dies 
Large Spring Shadow Dies
Potted Daffodils Stamp Set
Potted Daffodils Coordinating Dies
Pinking Rectangles Die Set 

I think that one of the best ways to make your daffodil die cuts pop is by cutting the shapes from colored cardstock and ink blending the edges with dye inks. For this card, I am using various Distress Inks to blend up our daffodils, and they coordinated so perfectly with the color of our blends!

I also have a deep love for the Pinking Rectangles Die Set. First, I love the jagged edges, which really lends a fun personality to your project. I also love that there is a stitching that outlines an interior rectangle. I like to use this stitching as a guide to mask off the edges with tape, and then ink blend the center rectangle of the dies. This, in turn, gives a framed look to the die cut! For this card, I take white paper, mask the edges, and blend a grassy and blue sky background that will serve as the perfect scene for our daffodils!

Lastly, big bold sentiments are going to definitely help send the feel of this card over the top! The Large Spring Shadow Dies is the perfect addition to the word sentiment die collection, and I just love how much space it takes up on the card! Adding the smaller hello from the Potted Daffodils stamp set above the word spring just makes the card even more fun!
