Creating 3 Wild Rose Thank You Cards

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have three thank You cards to share with you all using the same stamp set for all, along with the same sentiment die but adding a few other dies in to change up the design each time. Thank you cards are so important after the holidays and honestly, all year round so I love to have a lot of hand as I’m always in need of them.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube  
To begin my first card I’m using the Wild Rose stamp set and gold heat embossing a ton of the images onto some watercolour cardstock. I then used some Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to colour in my flowers. I used No. 25 Pink, No. 27 Dark Pink, No. 82 Purple, No. 48 Emerald Green and No. 44 Deep Green for them all. Once they were coloured, I heat set them with a heat tool, cut them out using the coordinating dies and set them off to the side. I then pulled another piece of more watercolour paper and used the Stitched Notes die set, I used the large rectangle die and cut it out from the cardstock.

For my sentiment, I used the Thank You Script die and positioned it into the centre of my die cut panel. I then used a foam mat, placed it underneath the cardstock, and ran it through my Big Shot Machine like I would an embossing folder. This creates an impression of the die cut, rather than cutting through. Now that my panel has been embossed with the die cut sentiment, I used the Kuretake Gansai Starry Colours Watercolour Set and painted in the Thank You sentiment with a gold watercolour. I dried that with a heat tool and assembled my card. I adhered my flowers on with foam tape and adhered my leaves with flat adhesive. I then popped up the entire panel onto fun foam and then onto a card base that I covered with blue striped patterned paper and that finished up my first card.

For my second card, I started out with the rest of the colouring for my next two cards. I stamped down a ton of images onto some more watercolour cardstock using black ink this time and clear heat embossing over the top and used the same Zig Clean Colour Markers for my images. For my second card I used No. 33 Persian Green, No. 31 Cobalt Blue, No. 42 Turquoise Green and No. 41 Light Green. Once all my images were coloured, I die cut them out with the coordinating dies and moved on to my shaker. I’m using the Window Frames Dies, and I cut out the largest one out of some white cardstock. I set the negative piece aside and coloured the positive piece using Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, fading it into white.

Next, I added a piece of acetate onto the back of my negative piece using some scor tape and then added foam tape all around the edges to create a seemless well for my sequins to sit in. Next, I grabbed a white card base, adhered down my positive window frame piece, the added some Mermaid Mix Sequins onto the arched piece. I then removed the foam tape backers and adhered my panel over top. I then adhered my flowers at the bottom of my arched piece with foam tape and then adhered my leaves with flat adhesive. For my sentiment, I used the same thank you die, I adhered some stick it onto the back of some white cardstock, then cut it out and adhered it on top of my sequin shaker window. That finished up my second card, now let’s move onto the last card.

For my third card, I again started off with my coloured images. For this colour combo, I used No. 50 Yellow, No. 25 Pink, No. 202 Peach Pink and No. 41 Light Green. I set off my flowers and leaves to the side and moved onto die cutting I used the Scallop Ovals Dies and cut the largest one out of white cardstock. I set it off to the side, then used Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink to ink blend lightly into the centre of another piece of watercolour cardstock. I then sprinkled on some water, picked it up with a paper towel and dried it off with a heat tool. Next, I die cut the Thank You die cut from some more white cardstock and adhered it to the centre of my panel.

Next, I added foam tape onto the back of my scalloped oval and adhered that around my sentiment, then I adhered my flowers surrounding my oval/sentiment with foam tape and adhered my entire panel onto a piece of blue water-coloured paper.

To completely finish off my cards, I adhered some Metallic Gold Confetti Mix onto my first card with the gold accents and then some 4mm Tutti Fruitti Mix and 6mm Mix around my card also using some Multi Medium Matte adhesive.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed my thank you cards for today.

Butterfly Shaker + Free Stamp Set

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have a card to share with you using some items from the new release and included in this release is a special offer to get a un-released stamp and die set with qualifying purchases. This set is Butterfly Friends and it’s so super cute. It comes with different designs of butterflies, both solid and outline along with a sentiment. You can get the stamp set with a $60 purchase and you also have the opportunity to get the coordinating die set too with a $75 purchase, while supplies last. For my card, I’ll be using the new Party Time Mix as my colour scheme and I’ll also be creating a multi shaker card.

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

To begin my card today I first went ahead and pulled out the sequin mix called Party Time. It comes with Marigold, Pink Peonies, Navy and Orchid coloured sequins. So I’m basing my entire card colour scheme on this mix. So I then coloured three bits of watercolour cardstock with Picked Raspberry, Wild Honey and Seedless Preserves Distress Ink, then I used the Stacked Edges 1 dies to cut the wavy border out of the coloured cardstock. Next up, I coloured my images. I used the Butterfly Friends stamp set and stamped down three of the outline butterflies onto some white cardstock and also the ‘friend’ sentiment from the set also. I then used coordinating colours from the sequin mix to colour my butterflies in. Once they were coloured, I used the coordinating to cut out the images along with the sentiment.

Copic Markers Used: RV13, RV25, RV09, B32, B34, B39, Y32, Y35, Y38, V12, V17, V09

Next up, I used another piece of white cardstock, cut it down to 3 ½” wide by 4 7/8” tall and used the new Storybook 6 die to cut out the middle of my panel. I used this one in particular since it had four sections and my sequin mix had four different colours in there. Once I cut it out, I turned it over, adhered a piece of acetate and then went around the entire piece with foam tape to divide all the sections for the different wells for my sequins. I then used the positive pieces of the die cut so the two rectangles and two squares and coloured them up using the same colours of Distress Ink I did before, but adding in Chipped Sapphire to complete the four colours of the mix. Now that all my elements for my card were done, I scored a card base that measures 4” wide by 5 ½” tall and adhered down my Stacked Edges 1 pieces into the middle of my card base. Next, I adhered down my inner pieces from the Storybook 6 dies flat onto my card base as well.

Next up, I pulled the individual colours of sequins out of the mix and laid them overtop with their corresponding colour. I then removed the backers off my foam tape on my panel and adhered it over top. I then added foam tape onto the back of my butterflies and adhered them around my card also. To finish off my card, I used the Bear Hugs stamp set and white heat embossed the ‘For You’ sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock. Then I added more foam tape on the back and adhered it to the centre of my card.

So that finishes up my card today, I love using the sequin mixes as inspiration for colour schemes because most of the time, at least for me they’re colour combos I would have never thought of and it’s always nice to use different colours that I maybe normally wouldn’t use. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Celebration- Day 3

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE //  If you missed Day 2 CLICK HERE

Hello and welcome to the last day of the birthday celebration!

Before I start with today’s post, I just have to say a truly heartfelt thank you to every single person who has ordered during this release, left comments on the blog hop/ social media and been supportive during the last four years of Pretty Pink Posh. As many of you know, I’m a one woman business, so I’m working as quickly as I can to get all of your orders sent off. Please be patient as the order volume is far greater than it usually is so I’m struggling to keep up but I’ll be working through the weekend to try to get caught up! 

This is Yana and today I am sharing video tutorial showing how to color petunias from the Pretty Petunias stamp set for a no-line look!

Since violet is the color of this year and because I happen to love this color quite a bit I decided to color my petunias violet. I started working on my card by stamping images I wanted to use in watermark ink onto light gray cardstock panel. I knew I wanted to use the large flower duo and also add additional flowers and leaves to make this cluster a bit fuller. I am very lazy when it comes to masking, I was planning to use masking for today’s stamping, but later ended up not making them and I simply stamped my images in watermark ink overlapping previously stamped layers.

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

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

I picked embossing watermark ink, but any pale ink color will do for this technique – just make sure to pick the color of ink you’ll be able to color over with the pencils you plan to use – and you can always test this on the back side of your paper. Use it as your palette, I always do so.

As I was stamping I made notes in my head which flowers and leaves were going to be in the front and which would be in the back. If you struggle with this – you can either mask your images so that you don’t have confusing stamped lines on your panel or test stamp your cluster onto a piece of scrap paper and label everything – then when you go to color your image you can use that as a cheat sheet.

The pretty Petunias stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh has very little detail to it and this is a good thing, because as you color, regardless of what coloring method you chose, you can add those details in yourself.

I used Polychromos colored pencils to color this images and I went with just a handful of pencils. I sharpened my pencils prior to starting an first used the blue violet color and outlined the base of the petal, added vines and slight details on the tip of the petal.

It is very helpful to look up the image you are coloring online. I simply go to Pinterest and type in Petunias. I look at photos, sometimes I search for illustrations, I can also add the name of the coloring medium I plan to use to look up examples. For instance petunias watercolor, or petunias pencils – it is very helpful to see how others have colored it – this will give you color combo ideas, detail ideas.

I added my pencil strokes going in one direction – I followed the imaginary vines of the petal. I don’t color in circles or horizontal and vertical lines. To blend out the violet color and color the rest of the petal I used a white pencil. I went over the violet coloring and extended it further into the petal. Next, I came in with the violet pencil again and added more details to the particular element.

I don’t use any blending solutions when I color, I only blend the using my pencils and as I get to the end of the blending I use a very heavy hand.

Once my coloring was complete I trimmed my panel to 4 x 5 1/4″. To create a sentiment I white heat embossed Hello Gorgeous from the Love Sentiment stamp set onto vellum. I trimmed it into a skinny strip, wrapped one end around the panel and cut the other end at and angle. I foam mounted the panel onto an A2 card base and added sequins from the Spring Blooms Mix to embellish this card.

No party would be complete without guests, gifts and a party favor, right? During the celebration, save 10% off your order using the coupon code provided below.

Christmas Theme & Giveaway Week- Day 5

Hi, everyone! Rina here with a video tutorial on how I made these simple gift card holders only using dies! Since the holidays are fast approaching, I wanted to make this project super easy and super-fast!

Watch our video tutorial below to see how to create these cards.

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

For this project I used the Merry Christmas Script die, the Festive Holly dies, Stitched Notes dies (for the gift card opening), and Silver Mini Star Confetti.

First, I cut the Merry Christmas Script die.  The font on this die is one of my favorites!  I wanted to use silver foil paper to make this die stand out even more.  Since this is a very intricate die, I like to use wax paper in between the die and the paper I am die cutting.  This will make the die cut pop out easily!

I love the look of die cut inlay and thought the Festive Holly dies would be perfect to pair with the script die.  I cut the “Festive Holly” on different colors of paper (use scraps!) which I will use to inlay into my card base.

I cut out several 4¼ x 5½ card bases and placed the Festive Holly dies arranged around the “Merry Christmas” sentiment, I cut this sentiment out with scratch paper to use for the placement of the dies.

Once that is complete, I inlay the Festive Holly die cuts into my card base.  I used post it note to ensure the die cuts will stay in place, flip over the paper and tape the die cuts in place.  I just love how it comes together like puzzle pieces.  My design had excess hanging over the edge which I trimmed with scissors.

For added sparkle, I used the Silver Mini Star Confetti adhered with the Ranger Multi Matte Medium randomly toward the center of the card.

Tip: I recommend using a Jewel Picker to adhere small embellishments. It makes things so much easier!

For the inside, I placed the gift card opening dies from the “Stitched Note” die set and cut out the openings.  The die set comes with two sizes, you will see one is longer than the other, just use the one that fits your design the best.  To ensure the gift card does not fall, I added a card base to the back of the card.  Make sure you do not put adhesive near the opening, just at the bottom so the card can slip in and out easily.  Alternatively, you can take a card base (a tad bit smaller than 4¼ x 5½ so the card closes nicely) cut the gift card opening and adhere it to the inside of the card.

Today our giveaway is the popular Embellishment storage system that we recommend, along with a $50 Pretty Pink Posh gift certificate!

Hope you enjoy this simple and easy project!

Christmas Theme & Giveaway Week- Day 4

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have some Stitched Christmas Tags to share with you all. I’ll be using the Sparkle Dot Patterns 1 stamp set to create my own shape that I can stitch. I’ll also be pulling in the Stitched Duo 1 Dies and Angel Friends stamp set to help create my tags as well.

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

To begin, I cut out 6 tags from the Stitched Duo 1 die set, 3 from white cardstock and 3 from watercolour cardstock. I then ink blended some Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Ink on the bottom of the three watercolour tags. Next, I used the line of dots stamp from the Sparkle Dot Patterns and stamped it in a Christmas Tree pattern. The line of dots has ten dots, so I masked off all but 1, stamped it down on the top of the tag in the centre with white ink on each tag. Then, I left two dots unmasked, and stamped them down with more white ink underneath the first dot and repeated the steps until all of the dots were stamped. I just stamping, adding one more dot at a time to create a triangle, for it to look like a Christmas Tree. Once I finished stamping all the layers of the tree, I clear heat embossed them all so the ink wouldn’t smudge while I was stitching.

Next, it was time to stitch. I poked through all the dots with a paper piercer so that I would have a guide for stitching. I’m using three shades of green thread, to have an ombre tree, to give a little extra to my tags. I did a simple back stitch through all lines of trees and also joined each line to make small triangles to give more interest to the stitching. I did three lines of each shade of green on each tag. Once all my stitching was done I adhered the normal white tag onto the back of each stitched tag to cover all the threads. Next, I used some Large Gold Star Sequins for the star on the top of the tree, then used some Berry Bright Sequins to adhere onto my tree, since I felt the colour scheme was fitting.

To finish up my tags, I used the Angel Friends stamp set and used the sentiment ‘Merry Christmas’ to stamp onto some black strips of cardstock. I white heat embossed them, trimmed them down and adhered them with foam tape onto the bottom of my tags. Then, I punched small holes at the top of my tags, threaded through some brown and white twine and my tags were complete.

I hope you were inspired to try to use the Sparkle Dot Patterns 1 stamp set to created stitched projects. I used the line stamp to create a Christmas Tree shape, but you could use the star or heart from the stamp set to create the same effect for a different theme of card or tag.

Now it’s time for another giveaway and today we’re giving away a 12 pack of the popular Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink pads!

One Layer Christmas Scene + Video

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I’ll be using the Winter Woodland, Christmas Friends and Winter Wonderland stamp sets to create a one layer panel card. You could do this with a one layer card too, but doing it with a panel just adds a little dimension and a little extra to the card.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube  
To begin, I first stamped all my images out onto some Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper with black ink and then fussy cut all the images out using fine detail scissors. This probably was the longest part, but you can re-use these masks a few times, so it’s worth the time. Next, I cut down a piece of Neenah Solar White Cardstock to 4” wide by 5 ½” tall and began stamping.

The thing you want to remember when masking to create a cluster scene like this is to stamp your images in the fore front first. So, for me it was the bird on the left-hand side. So I stamped that image first, then adhered the mask over top. Next I stamped the larger fox overlapping the bird a little. Then, adhered the mask over top of the fox and then stamped the boy image to the right, overlapping a little once again. This makes sure you’re stamping the images in the front first, so they are whole and the mask prevents any of the behind image overlapping the front image. So in the end, all your images are stamped in between each other and not over lapping each other. I hope this makes sense. Once all my images were stamped and a mask had been adhered over top, I created a snow bank mask and adhered that over top of my images too.

  • Copic Markers (Skin Tones – E000, E00, E21 / Bunny – E40, E41, E43 / Other Moose – E51, E53, E55 / Moose Body, Branches, Log – E55, E57, E59 / Hair – Y21, YR21, YR24 / Leaves – YG01, YG17, YG23 / Foxes –  YR21, E97, E07 / Shading, Snow, Polar Bear, Igloo – C00, C1, C3 / Penguin, Mittens, Shoes – C5, C7, C9 / Clothes – R21, R22, R24 / Berries, Cardinal – R24, R27, R89 / Clothes – B21, B24, B26 / Bird – B0000, B000, BG02 / Clothes – V12, V15, V17 / Clothes – BG11, BG23, BG49 / Beak, Feet – YR04, YR12, YR18 / Blush – RV10)

I then used some Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch to ink blend the sky. This is why I needed masks for the top images also because they needed to be masked off because of the ink blending. Once they were all ink blended, the best part is now. I get to remove the masks. I removed all the masks off the images and the results are just so much fun! Once all the masks were removed, I used Copic Markers to colour in all my images.

For my sentiment, I used the Christmas Friends stamp set and used the Season’s Greetings sentiment, cut it in half and then stamped it next to each other instead so it would fit at the bottom of my panel better. For a last finishing touch, I added a strip of black and white diagonal striped patterned paper and adhered it to my card base. Then adhered my panel with foam tape.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and were inspired to use the masking technique to create a full cluster of images for a fun scene.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll catch you next time.

Watercolor Holiday Scene + Big Giveaway

Hello Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I am sharing a video tutorial showing how to create a watercolor winter scene card using a brand-new Winter Woodland stamp set.

I’m starting to work on my project by arranging images I wanted to use for this card on a piece of watercolor panel inside my Mini MISTI. You don’t have to use a stamp positioner for this project, you can easily stamp a scene like this using a clear block.

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

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

I picked watercolor paper for my stamping as I planed to use watercolors to color my critters and the background or the night sky behind them. You can chose to color these using any other mediums you like – perhaps colored pencils or alcohol markers. Whatever you chose make sure you are using the correct ink and paper type for your coloring medium.

I used Arches Hot Pressed watercolor paper as this is my go-to paper for stamping and watercoloring. The Hot Pressed means that this paper has very little to no texture which is a preferred quality when you plan to do a lot of stamping.

For my scene I picked a moose, he is standing on a free-hand painted hill; my moose has two love birds sitting on top of his antlers looking at each other. There’s also a sentiment that reads “Warm Hugs and Lots of Love” and finally the background behind my critters and the sky is filled with holly branches and they look as if they are coming from 3 sides framing this scene in a way.

Once I finished stamping my scene (I heat embossed it using Antique Gold embossing powder) I taped my watercolor panel onto a board and watercolored using Daniel Smith watercolors.

I broke my coloring process down into 2 main stages – coloring the critters and coloring the background. You want to make sure to wait for the coloring to dry when you move onto coloring the background to avoid having a huge mess and avoid colors bleeding one into another.

I did a bit of wet on wet coloring by wetting the surface of the paper first with water and then adding the pigment. I used just a handful of colors for my painting today and all of these can be found in my exclusive Daniel Smith Yana’s Watercolor Palette.

Keep in mind you can use any other watercolors to paint this, even Distress inks can be easily used to color a scene like this. In case you are curious to learn what colors I used here are the name: I went with Transparent Brown to color the moose and branches, Pyrrol Red to color the birds and berries, Undersea Green to color the leaves and Indigo to color the sky.

Once my coloring was done I trimmed my panel to 4 x 5 ¼” and foam mounted it onto an A2 card. I felt like the sentiment on this card wasn’t visible clearly enough so I heat embossed it in white embossing powder onto a piece of red cardstock and foam mounted onto the scene. I believe this helped the red color on the card pop and really tied everything together.

I embellished this card using a few metallic gold confetti pieces and coated red berries using Glossy Accents for a pop of dimension.

Christmas Angel Action Wobble + Video

Hello Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I am sharing a video tutorial showing how to create a Clean & Simple interactive Christmas card with the Angel Friends stamp set.

I started working on my project by stamping two angels, two halos and a banner onto white cardstock using alcohol marker friendly ink. Just to be safe I stamped images twice and also used my mini MISTI and double stamped them to have the blackest black outline possible.

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

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

Using a few Copics I did some rather quick and basic coloring. I went with reds, yellows and blues for my color combo and used the following markers: R20, R22, R24, R27, R39 and R89 (to color angel’s dresses, banner and to add blush); Y17, Y15 and Y11 (to color angel’s hair), E00 and E000 (to color skin) and finally B000 to color wings and collars on dresses.

I cut images out using coordinating dies and heat embossed “Joy To The World” sentiment in white embossing powder onto my red colored banner. I made sure the ink from my Copics was dry on the banner die cut before I heat embossed anything as I didn’t want to mess up the coloring. I also curver my sentiment slightly to follow the curve of the banner (be sure to watch my video to learn how to do this).

The design of this card is very simple and whenever I make simple cards like this I use a few tricks to make my cards stand out. First, I like to use woodgrain cardstock for the front on my card. When there’s a lot of white space on the card this cardstock looks like a star and adds a lot to the card designs. Second, I added a bit of interactivity to this project by using wobble springs to attach the angels. You can use foam adhesive, but using mini wobblers allowed them to move on my card and added a bit of “wow” to the overall card design.

Finally, I embellished my project using the metallic gold confetti mix the Crystal Katana tool. Happy cardmaking!

Creating A Pop-Up Card

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have a Pop-Up card for you guys, but this time it’s on the inside of the card. So it’s a little fun and unique for a Halloween Card! I’ll also be using the Storybook 1 Die along with a few other die sets and the new Trick or Treat Friends set for my card.

Watch the video above   I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube  
To begin, I stamped out my images, coloured them in with Copic Markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I then pulled the Storybook 1 Dies out and cut them out of a piece of white Cardstock. I then used the Stitched Notes Dies to die cut around the Storybook dies. While I was die cutting, I also cut the Picket Fence die from Black Cardstock. I then added foam tape onto the back of my Storybook frame and adhered it to the middle of a piece of purple plaid cardstock from Lawn Fawn.

Next up I used Twisted Citron, Wilted Violet and Carved Pumpkin to ink blend each of the three pieces that came from inside the Storybook die. I then splattered them with some water, picked up the excess and dried it with a heat tool. I then stamped ‘Hi!’ from the Everyday Greetings stamp set onto the orange piece and then adhered down all three pieces inside the Storybook die. I then used some of the images I has previously cut and coloured and adhered them onto the front of my card. Then the front panel was complete. Now it was time to work on the pop-up feature on the inside.

For the pop up panel on the inside I first cut a piece of watercolour paper down to 3″ by 5 1/2″. I used the Stitched Borders 1 dies to cut the top at a curved edge. I used Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink to colour the piece and then I scored it. On the long edge, I scored the piece at 2 3/4″ and on the short side I scored it at 2 3/4″ also. Then I folded the piece directly in half and cut a small triangle from the bottom to the centre score line, just so when I adhere and fold it into my card – it sits nice and flat.

I next added pieces of scor tape onto the flaps then pulled off the backers, lined up the score line on the pop up piece with the score line of the side folding card base, adhered down one side first, then folded the other side down with the flap facing up, then pressed the front of the card base down onto the flap. This ensures that everything will lay flat and work perfectly. Then I needed to work on my sentiment. I cut apart the ‘Happy Halloween’ sentiment from the Trick or Treat Friends set so it was in a line. I white heat embossed it on a strip of black cardstock that I cut each end at an angle on. Then I lined it up in my scoring tool and scored at the half way mark, which was 2 1/4″ for me. Then I flipped it over, added two small strips of acetate onto the back and then adhered it down onto my pop up grassy piece. This made the sentiment pop up as well as the hill piece.

To finish up, I adhered the rest of my images onto the inside of the card, then added coordinating colours of sequins to the front of my card.

Sequins used: 4mm Lavender Moon, 4mm Lime Sorbet, 4mm Tangerine, 6mm Amethyst, 6mm Shamrock, 6mm Pumpkin

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you were inspired to make a pop up card on the inside.
