Pretty Pink Posh: 3 Halloween Projects with Stencils + Video

To start off my first card, I took a piece of watercolour cardstock and masked off individual “ghosts” from the Brush Strokes Stencil to ink blend onto the background. I used Pumice Stone Distress Ink and a little white pigment ink to blend them. Once they were all done, I made masks for them all using masking paper and adhered them over the top. I then used Washi Tape and the Wide Stripes Stencil to ink blend stripes over the background diagonally. I flicked on some water and dried it off with a heat tool.

Distress Inks Used: Spiced Marmalade/ Carved Pumpkin / Dusty Concord/ Wilted Violet / Twisted Citron/ Mowed Lawn

I decided that the ghosts blended into the background too much, so I re-applied the masks and laid over the stencil and used some Black Soot Distress Ink to create a drop shadow on the each of them. Lastly, I adhered Silly Eyes to each of them using some glossy accents and white heat embossed the sentiment ‘Happy Halloween To You’ from the Boo Stamp Set onto a thin strip of black cardstock and adhered it straight across the card.

For the second card, I decided to turn the Brush Strokes Stencil into stamped images. I first took a piece of white cardstock and cut it down with the rectangle in Stitched Notes Dies. I then used a stamping tool to stamp the pumpkin border from Fall Borders Stamp Set. I traced around the heads of the “ghosts” and then used the hat stamp from the Boo Stamp Set to stamp on the top of each of them. I erased the pencil lines, took the stencil and traced around each of the ghosts with a black marker. I then coloured everything in with Copic Markers.

Copic Markers Used: R000, R00 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / BV01, BV02, BV04, BV08 / W00, W0, W1, W2 / YG61, YG63, YG67, G28 / E42, E43, E44, E47 / 0

After they were coloured, I drew faces on each of the ghosts using the same black marker. I then created masks for everything, adhered them on top and ink blended some Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn onto the bottom and Blueprint Sketch for the top. I removed the masks and then white heat embossed the same ‘Happy Halloween’ sentiment from the Boo Stamp Set onto a thin strip of black cardstock. I adhered it to the card and then adhered the entire panel onto a piece of patterned paper.

For my final card I wanted to create a mini shaker card. I started off with die cutting the Decorative Tag 2 three times, once from watercolour paper and twice from normal white cardstock. I used the Brush Strokes Stencil to ink blend some Wilted Violet, Carved Pumpkin and Twisted Citron Distress Inks over the top onto the watercolour cardstock tag. I flicked on some water and dried it off with a heat tool. I took a circle die and cut it from the centre and added acetate onto the back. I then took the one of the other white tags and adhered a piece of blue cardstock onto it. I added foam tape around the entire perimeter of the piece and added the star confetti’s inside. I then adhered my ink blended tag on top.

I then ink blended one of the “ghosts” from the Brush Strokes Stencil onto some more cardstock using Pumice Stone and white pigment ink, cut around it with scissors and adhered Silly Eyes on top. I then adhered it onto the front of my tag. I white heat embossed the same sentiment from the Boo Stamp Set onto a strip of black cardstock and adhered it into place. I then adhered the last tag I cut onto the back using a little bit of tape at the top and that finished off my third card.

First Card – Brush Strokes Stencil / Wide Stripes Stencil / Boo Stamp Set/ Fall Confetti Bundle / Silly Eyes

Second Card – Brush Strokes Stencil / Stitched Notes Dies /
Fall Borders Stamp set / Boo Stamp Set

Third Card – Brush Strokes Stencil / Decorative Tag 2 Dies / Boo Stamp Set / Fall Confetti Bundle

I hope you enjoyed my cards today using the Brush Strokes Stencil and you got inspired. Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you next time.

Halloween Pumpkin Cards + Video

Hi everyone it’s Ardyth. Today I have a quick-color pumpkin patch Halloween card to share with you!

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

I started by stamping my pumpkin patch, using the row of pumpkins from Fall Borders, and my original sized MISTI, and some masking.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Pumpkin Cards + Video

To quickly colour the card, I used the same mask and ink blended the sky and pumpkins. Then I added some optional, extra colouring to add more depth and shadows, but you can stop anywhere along the way, depending on how much time you’ve got.

I finished the card with a sentiment and the bat image from the Boo stamp set and then put the panel onto a black card base. I made another card, with a white base – see how different the cards feel, with that one small change?

I hope you enjoyed watching how I made these two cards!

Tutorial: Floral Shaker Card

Hi everyone, Rina here with a fun floral shaker card. I have made this card a Mother’s Day theme, but you can make it for any occasion you want using a sentiment stamped on the inside of the card.

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

I used Bristol Smooth Surface cardstock stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink to watercolor the images. I used the Peonies stamp set along with the Mother’s Day stamp set (for the inside of the card). I used two Zig Real Clean Color Brush Markers in Turquoise Green and Light Green. I adore these colors together.

I created the card front using the new A2 sized Lattice Background Die and lightly ink blended it with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.

I created my shaker card by adhering the acetate to the back of the Lattice Background die cut. And then applying double sided foam tape around the edges. I created a custom shaker mix to match with the images:

I covered the back of the shaker mechanism and applied the images to front. I then stamped my sentiment on the inside of the card.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and have an awesome day! Thanks for stopping by!

April Product Release Blog Hop- Day 2

Check out Day 1 of the blog hop HERE

Hello, Pretty Pink Posh’ fans! This is Yana Smakula. In this video, I’m sharing a very easy method to create money holder greeting cards. You won’t need any specialty dies or supplies for this type of card and you should be able to create a card design like this using most of your Pretty Pink posh stamps and coordinating dies.

I started by stamping some images in black Copic marker friendly ink onto white paper. The size of the images you pick is the only thing that matters as you’ll want to use something that’s big enough to hide a folded bill behind it. So a small critter stamp, for example, is not going to work. But a cute giraffe, like the one I’m using here and also a gorgeous floral arrangement will. Both of these images are from Pretty Pink Posh and come from the Animal Signs and Mother’s Day stamp sets respectively.

Watch my video tutorial below to learn how I made this card.

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

Next, I quickly colored these using Copic markers. Nothing fancy, just some quick strokes of color to bring these images to life. I used YG03, YG17, RV34, RV11, RV10, Y11, Y35, Y17, BV11, BV00, and BV000 markers. To color the giraffe I used E37, E33, E31, R0, and E51.

I wanted to combine these two images and have my critter holding a floral bouquet and not the frame. I did some fussy cutting to eliminate the image parts I didn’t need and using foam adhesive squares I foam mounted the flowers onto my critter, added front legs and the tail. Super cute! and it wasn’t hard to do at all.

Next, I’ve done some partial die cutting using a coordinating die. To make the partial cut I only covered the part of the die that I wanted to cut into the paper and left the other part of the die free. This allowed me to do partial die cutting and only die cut the top part of my giraffe.

I also wanted to add some dry embossing to the background. I used a new Wide Stripes stencil and dry embossed on the background. I love the result! It looks very clear and simple, yet there’s pretty linear texture in the background!

I trimmed this panel down to 4” x 5 1/4”, I also made an A2 card base using hot pink cardstock. I folded the money bill and inserted it into the partially die cut panel. Next, I added foam adhesive around it making sure not to touch it. I wanted to block the bottom part of the panel so that I didn’t have stuff falling down into the card and making it impossible to get it out.

I also used my anti-static powder tool to eliminate any of the residual stickiness on the foam tape so that nothing would stick to it. Once done, I adhered the panel onto a card base, foam mounted the critter, added the bill and dressed up this card using pink stamped stars and Pearl white jewels.

I also made one more card to share, this one is for Graduation and it uses the same concept and almost same supplies.

I used a different stencil for the background, Graduation, and blended some pastels over it to give it some color and help highlight the embossed areas.

Next, I stamped, colored and cut out an adorable elephant from the Animal Signs stamp set. I used W5, W3, W1 and R20 markers. I also stamped a graduation cap and a scroll from the Congrats Grad stamp set and colored those images using Copic markers as well. I used RV34, RV11 and RV10 colors along with C9, C7, and C5 markers.

I foam mounted this darling baby elephant onto the background matching him with the partial cut already made. Next, I added his graduation cap and a scroll using foam adhesive. I foam mounted the entire panel onto a light pink card base and also embellished it with a few stamped & die cut stars and pretty white jewels.

While the slits in these cards are relatively small you should be able to tuck any folded currency bill inside or tuck a little handwritten note if you like.

The April 2019 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post earlier, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Ardyth has that for you today!

Hello, Gemma here today with a card to share using some fabulous products from the Pretty Pink Posh April release.

I was so excited to use the new Lattice Background die. I am a huge fan of cover dies. I think they are fantastic for adding interest to clean and simple cards. The Lattice Background die is so gorgeous, it’s definitely a must have.

I began by cutting a piece of blue pattered paper to fit my A2 card base, adhering it with liquid glue. I then die cut the Lattice Background die from white card and layered it over the top.

To create an area in the centre of the card, I die cut the Storybook 1 die from white card, trimming it down to give a small border and adhering to my card.

Before adding the panels within the Storybook 1 frame, I blended on a light ombré of Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink.

I chose two elephants to feature on my card. The elephant holding the sign is from the new Animal Signs stamp set. The elephant and the star balloon are from the new Elephant Friends stamp set. I love that the greeting from the Elephant Friends set fits perfectly on the sign.

I coloured the images with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies.

I used foam tape to adhere them to my card, then added some glossy accents to the balloon and a few Sea Glass jewels around the images as a finishing touch.

Thank you for joining us today. I hope you enjoyed today’s card and were inspired.

Tutorial: Easy Masking and Copic Coloring

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.

Pretty Pink Posh: Easy Masking and Copic Coloring

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!

Spring Butterflies + Three Day Sale!

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.

Tutorial: Peek-A-Boo Easter Card

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!

Tutorial: Copic Rainbow Butterfly Card

Hi everyone, it’s Ardyth and I’m here with a colourful, happy hello card today!

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

I started by creating my background, using my Mini MISTI and the Spring Wreath set. I stamped the wreath off the edges of my square panel, and then turned the panel before stamping again. Then I filled in any empty spaces with some of the single flowers in the set. This is a quick and easy way to create an all-over flower background. I trimmed the panel using a circle die and also stamped and die cut one of the butterflies from Beautiful Butterflies.

Pretty Pink Posh: Copic Rainbow Butterfly Card

I coloured the butterfly with a rainbow of Copic markers and then started working on the background. Using another circle die, I lightly drew ‘trail’ lines from the butterfly, creating an area for some colouring. I coloured it in with the same Copic markers to create unity between the butterfly and the background.

I found that the contrast between the black ink and white cardstock on the rest of the circle panel was a bit distracting, so I coloured that area with a gray marker to tone it down and allow the focus to be on the colourful, magical butterfly trail!

I glued the body of the butterfly directly to the circle panel, and popped up the edge of the wings with some foam tape for dimension.

Enjoy browsing the Pretty Pink Posh Shop full of the new products. I hope you enjoyed the card and video.
