Hi everyone, it’s Ardyth and I have a colourful spring card to share today!

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

I started by cutting 12 stitched circles using a die from Stitched Essentials. I stamped 11 of them with the single flower stamps from Spring Wreath and the 12th with a sentiment from Everyday Greetings.

I cut masks for the flowers and blended blue ink over the circles. When I removed the masks, I coloured the flowers with Copic markers.

For the sentiment, obviously, I didn’t have a matching die, so I used a circle die that fit just inside the stitching, so that the sentiment circle would have a blue border and a similar look to the rest of them.

I popped up the 12 circles on a white panel cut with the stitched rectangle from Stitched Notes and then added some Party Mix Jewels to a couple of the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed the card and video. Have a great weekend!

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a card featuring the Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set along with the Bold Butterflies Dies (both are 30% off this weekend!), since they layer so nicely and then I brought in the Spring Frame Die since again, these products work so nicely together and it fit with the design of my card.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube
To start off I cut out the Spring Frame Die and Bold Butterflies Dies from vellum and set them off to the side for later. I then used my MISTI to stamp out my butterflies from Beautiful Butterflies. I used a smaller and larger one since they layer the best and then I coloured them in with Copic Markers. I used a colour combo from Pinterest which is two shades of Pink, a green and blue to help colour these in as well. Once they were coloured in, I cut them out using the coordinating dies.

Copic Markers Used: R30, R81, R83, R85 / RV10, RV13, RV25, RV19 / YG01, YG03, YG07, YG09 / YG61, YG63, YG67, G28 / BG10, BG11, BG13, BG49 / C00, C0, C1, C3

Now that all my elements were ready to go, I added adhesive to the middle of the butterflies and adhered them on top of the vellum ones. For my background I water-coloured some stripes in coordinating colours and dried them off with a heat tool.

To finish up, I used the Stitched Notes Die Set and cut the frame from a piece of blue cardstock. I used the outer frame and added adhesive onto the back and adhered it to the vellum Spring Frame. I then added foam tape onto the back and adhered it over my water-coloured panel. I cut apart the ‘Flying By To Say Hello’ sentiment from Beautiful Butterflies and stamped that onto the background using my MISTI and black ink.

I adhered my butterflies into place and then scattered some Wisteria Blossoms Confetti Mix around the card.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed, and I’ll see you all next time.

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have an Easter project to share with you all. I used the Easter Eggs stamp set along with the Bunny Friends stamp set to create a peek-a-boo card.

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

I started off with stamping out my eggs onto a white piece of cardstock with black ink. I used four different styles of eggs and arranged them in my Mini MISTI stamping tool. I left a gap between the top and bottom rows for a sentiment, too. Once they were stamped, I cut apart the sentiment ‘Happy Easter’ and stamped them next to each other using my MISTI once again to stamp them between the eggs. Next, I used the Bunny Friends stamp set, stamped out a few of the images with my MISTI as well. I then coloured in everything with Copic Markers.

Copic Markers Used: RV10, RV13, RV25, RV19 / B63, BV02, BV04, BV08 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / B21, B24, B26, B39 / Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19 / YG01, YG03, YG07, YG09 / BG10, BG11, BG13, BG49 / E41, E42, E43, E44 / W00, W0, W1, W3 / 0

Now to create the ‘peek-a-boo’ element. I took the coordinating die and placed it over top of the egg, just like I normally would. I then placed the piece of cardstock into my die cut machine and covered ¾ of the bottom of the egg, leaving the top bit without a plate covering. I then ran through the piece and removed the die. This allows the egg to be folded upwards and to reveal the inside. I repeated this for the rest of my eggs and set off the piece to the side. I then cut my bunnies out with their dies as well.

I then took a white card base and covered it with a piece of blue patterned paper. I placed my peek a boo panel over top and traced around the inside of the eggs on my card base with a pencil. I adhered my bunnies and flowers on the insides of each of the eggs with foam tape and then erased the pencil lines. I added a double layer of foam to the back of my peek a boo panel and adhered it over the same spot.

That finished up my Easter card for today, I hope you enjoyed and got inspired. See you all next time!

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a video sharing how to make the peacocks feathers from the Peacock Friends into a mini shaker. This is quite a long process, but the end look is super fun!

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

To begin, I stamped out my images from Peacock Friends and coloured them all in with Copic Markers. I then die cut them all out using the coordinating dies.

Copic Markers Used: YG01, YG03, YG07, YG09 / BG10, BG11, BG13, BG49 / B32, B24, B26, B39 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19

Once they’re all die cut out, I took the peacock image and used an exacto knife plus some detail cutting scissors to cut around each of the feathers. I made sure to leave the white border intact as well. Once I’ve cut around all the feathers, I made sure to keep the detail areas in case I needed them later.

Next, I took my Mini MISTI stamping tool, Staz On Ink and some acetate and stamped another of the same peacock image on it. I didn’t die cut this out, I left it on a larger piece of acetate until I needed to cut it down later. I added adhesive to the coloured peacock and adhered it over the acetate stamped one.

I then took another piece of white cardstock and cut the coordinating peacock die in the middle. I then added adhesive to the backs of the single feathers and adhered them at the top left and bottom right of my panel. I also stamped the ‘You Are Special’ sentiment onto the bottom of the card with black ink as well. I flipped over the panel, added adhesive around the die cut peacock and adhered the acetate piece into place. I cut off the excess and added foam tape all along the back.

I then pulled out some Navy Cardstock and cut it down to a card base. I then pulled some Mermaid Mix and Spring Meadow Mix Sequins since they matched the colours I used well and added them into the centre of the card base, took of the backers from the foam tape and adhered the panel into place.

That finished up my card for today, I hope you enjoyed, and I’ll see you next time

Hi everyone it’s Ardyth and and I’m back with a pretty, spring card today on the Pretty Pink Posh blog and YouTube channel!

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

I used the Darling Dragonflies set. I love how cute these guys are with their happy smiley faces. I wanted a more elegant look, though, so after I stamped them, I filled in their heads and bodies using a Versamark marker before heat embossing them with a sparkly embossing glitter.

I added some ‘iridescent’ colour to the dragonflies’ wings with pale pink and blue Copic markers, flicked in each wing, close to the body. I created a lovely spring background with some simple ink blending – blue for the sky and spring green for the ground. And then I added some ‘grass’ by using the leaves from Crocus Flowers, pale grey ink and a green Copic marker.

I trimmed the panel with the stitched rectangle die from Stitched Notes and then I stamped the sentiment from Simple Sayings: Courage, using a grey ink, rather than black. I felt that black would be too harsh against my soft spring scene. I popped the panel up on a plain white card base.

As a finishing touch, I added a few Sparkling Clear Jewels.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed the card and video.

Hello! Rina here with you today. I loved working with the Piñata Party set and knew instantly that I wanted to pair it with the Celebrate Shaker Die.  I am doing a rainbow theme and the Party Mix Jewels were perfect for this design.

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

I made a simple striped watercolor background using Dr. Ph Martins Hydrus watercolor, but any watercolor would do.  I made a skinny striped background along with a wider striped background in rainbow color order.

While my backgrounds dried, I colored the images using Copic markers.

Copic Markers Used:  R20, R22, R25 / YR01, YR02 / Y000, Y11 / G00, G02 / B00, B02 / V01, V05 / C1, C3

To make the shaker I cut my panels to standard card size and used the Celebrate Shaker die to cut out the shape in the middle of the panel.  I used the Celebrate Shaker die to cut out glitter paper.  I used the die cuts from the glitter paper to inset into the panel and adhered with tape.  I adhered acetate to the back of the panel and created the shaker well using 2 layers of double sided foam tape.  I added the shaker bits into the well and used a ton of Pretty Pink Posh sequins and confetti.  Here is what I used for the shaker bits:

Party Mix Jewels

Silver Mini Star Confetti

Blush Seed Beads

3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins

Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix

10mm Sparkling Clear Sequins

I adhered a backer sheet to cover the sequins.  I stamped a sentiment to the front of the card and then placed the images.  Finally I adhered the card front to a top folding card base.

I hope you enjoy and try out this colorful card!
