For me Halloween is all about the treats! Instead of one night of trick or treating for kids, I think we should spend the whole month giving our friends & family cute little goodies! And this DIY treat bucket project is the perfect way to get started!
To turn the PPP Candy Buckets into actual buckets you just need a 3-1/2 x 10 piece of heavyweight cardstock and a scoring tool! Then after creating a little open top container, you decorate both sides with the adorable Candy Buckets dies and fill with candy!!! It’s really easy and super fun! You can see the whole process in the video.
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I’m sharing a Halloween card I made inspired by some patterned paper that I have had sitting in my collection for too long!
I started with making a custom background by stenciling the Halloween Words Stencil with Distress Oxides in Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed, Pumice Stone and Peacock Feathers on white cardstock. Using the largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies, I cut it and splattered some black ink before setting it aside to dry.
Next I did a lot of die cutting from patterned paper using the Build A Monster Dies and assembled them all together. You can see the steps I did to build them by watching my video today! I also added some pink cheeks with a marker and some white highlights with a gel pen.
My sentiment is embossed in white on black cardstock using “Happy Halloween” from the Halloween Corners Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies. I also cut the second largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies out of vellum. I layered the stenciled background onto a card base, then the vellum, followed by the monsters and sentiment with foam adhesive to give them some dimension on top of the Stitched Torn Rectangles.
I love these unique colors for Halloween and that you can personalize the monsters in such a fun way with patterned paper! What color combination would you use with the Build A Monster Dies for Halloween?
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel today. I wanted to share a simple but cute card for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday using the Fall Icons Stamp Setand Coordinating Dies!
I started with stenciling my background using the Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils with brown ink with the (A) stencil and red ink with the (B) stencil on white cardstock that measures 3.5 x 4.75”. This panel was adhered to a piece of kraft cardstock trimmed to 4 x 5.25”, then onto an A2 card base.
The six Fall Iconswere stamped with my stamping platform first in a brown alcohol marker friendly ink and I colored them with alcohol markers. You can watch the YouTube video on the Pretty Pink Posh Channel if you want to see a close up of the coloring and the complete process of making the card. After I was done coloring, I put the paper back into the stamping platform and stamped the images again with a darker brown ink that is not alcohol marker friendly to create darker lines around the images.
I cut all of the images with the smaller circle in the Fall Icons Coordinating Die Set as well as six scalloped circles out of kraft cardstock. I layered the circles with adhesive and added foam adhesive to the back. I then added them to the card!
You can step up this card by adding a sentiment or minimizing the spacing to add more icons. I hope this brings you some inspiration today and you’re excited to head into Fall like I am!
Have you ever made a pull-tab card? This pull-tab design is so easy to make and you don’t even need a special die set! Look through your stash for a big circle to make a notch and something to make a channel. I found everything I needed in the Big Excavator set but a birthday candle or sentiment strip would be amazing too!
I can’t wait to make another pull-tab card with the Ghost Friends and a pile of pumpkins! And a pile of leaves with any (or all) the critters!
Hi everyone! Rebecca Keppel here with a trio of mini monster cards! I was so excited to create with the Build a Monster Dies because you can make any number of different looking monsters by mixing and matching the dies and colors of cardstock you use!
Then I cut out three Sweet Note Dies envelopes and cards with the Sweet Note Dies. Under the flaps I adhered the candy corn, spider webs and ghost. On the reverse side I adhered the stitched square and adhered the monsters on top. Then I opened the envelopes and adhered the sentiments inside.
If you love creating custom images with just some simple die cutting and gluing then you need to try the Build a Monster Dies. And I recommend the Sweet Note Dies to create mini cards as they can be used throughout the year for any occasion!
The Build A Monster set is so versatile with all the different possible combinations of eyes, arms, horns…and more to make a monster! But there is also the versatility in using the positive and negative die cuts!
The positive cuts build a fun monster, especially when you add a little glossy and glitter! And the negative space makes a fabulous shaker window (if I do say so myself)!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you were inspired by these cards!
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I am continuing my box card series for the year and thank you for your feedback on creating a card for “Back to School!” August and September are kind of weird months with no major holidays, but I think this is a fun “holiday” for kids and teachers who are ready to get back to school.
I started with creating my own school supplies by making a pencil and lined paper using the Get Well Mug Additions Dies and Graduation Mug Additions Dies. I created a pencil using the thermometer, pill and heart dies and a “yay!” paper from the prescription pad and sentiment dies. You can follow along in my video today if you need to see a step by step of how I glued them all together.
Moving on to using the Layered Apples Stencils to create my background, I used Distress Oxides in Candied Apple and Scorched Timber for my apples (A) stencil and stems (C) stencil. Lastly, I used the leaves (B) stencil with Fake Plant Lunar Paste to create some texture and shine.
I assembled the box card together with my sentiment on the front of the box card, my school children on the middle “shelf” of the box, and attached the school supplies to the back arch piece of the box card.
I hope you like my take on back to school and let me know what you would like to see for next month!
For the stenciled background, I added Distress Oxide inks to an A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) card panel. I added the inks randomly on the card panel. The inks I used were: Carved Pumpkin, Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, and Wilted Violet. After inking the background, I placed the Halloween Words Stencil on top and used Black Soot ink for the words.
Next, I used the Ranger Distress Sprayer to spritz the background with water and I used a paper towel to pull up some of the ink which leaves a fun, textured effect to the background. I used a Scrapbook.com White Lustre brush to flick white ink onto the background.
For the bat, I used the Bat Shaker die set. To add some sparkle to the bat, I used the Scrapbook.com Rainbow Glitter paper. I also used the Spooktacular Mix for the clay confetti inside of the bat.
I die cut the largest Eyelet Rectangle die with glitter paper and layered it behind the stenciled background. I cut the stenciled cardstock down to fit inside of the rectangle.
The August 2024 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post yesterday, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Mindy has that for you today!
Hi friends, Debbie here! The New Halloween Release is here! It is Spooktacular! I’ll just tell you now, I love this Candy Bucket die set. Who am I kidding? I’m like a kid in a candy store, I can’t get enough because I love it all!
I started off with the background using the new Halloween Words Stencil. Knowing I wanted to use the Distress Texture Black Opaque Paste. I found it easiest to grab a panel of pink card stock. Lightly ink blend black on the edges with remaining ink on your brush. Then add Mica spray Picked Raspberry and let dry. I then did the Black Opaque paste with the Halloween Words Stencil on the panel using a grip mat.
Then die cut out the Candy Bucketwith the window die from White card stock and White Foam. With the Candy bucket die cut a piece of acetate for the shaker window and one more white card stock for the back. Attach the layers, foam and acetate together then add the new Spooktacular Mixin the well and then attach the back. The lid has a lot of foam squares under it to make it flush. The handle is attached directly to the panel with liquid glue.
The ghost face is cut out of Black Glitter card stock. The candies are from the Ghost Holder die set. Using matching colored card stock and adding Star Dust Stickles to the candies.

Hi Everyone! Rebecca here with the easiest fun fold birthday card that you will ever make! You start with the Fancy Card Dies. I used each flap die to cut a different color of cardstock, but you can use the same color if you prefer. Each of the die cuts will have a small scored flap where you can adhere it with some strong double sided tape to the back of an A2 piece of cardstock.
Once all the flaps are adhered it’s time to have fun decorating! For the first smallest flap, I used the Party Hats Dies to cut out three colorful hats. On the next flap I used the Birthday Candles Dies and on the largest flap I used the Stitched Stars Dies.
