Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and I have a video tutorial to share today featuring one of the new stamps & coordinating dies – Halloween Friends.

I’m also going to share a simpler and faster way to create ink blended backgrounds and will talk a bit about ghost stamping! I filmed a video tutorial to walk you through the process from start to finish and explain everything in detail.

Instead of using a piece of white paper to create my Distress ink blended backgrounds I’ve been using colored cardstock. The trick is simple, pick the color of cardstock to match the lightest color on your future ink blended background. So here, to create a background going from black to purple to light purple for this Halloween card, I used light purple cardstock as my base.

By the way, you’ll still be able to add water to your backgrounds, done on colored cardstock, to have Distress inks move and react like they usually do on white, and it will take you significantly less time (and ink!) to blend a background. It took me a little over 3 minutes to create a background for this card (while it usually takes no less than 10 minutes if I start on white).

Another trick I am sharing today is cutting critter silhouette out of black cardstock to use a shadow or create the illusion of having multiple critters on a card. This doesn’t work everytime and on every card, but it does look fantastic on those cards where the background is dark.

The last tip for today is to try using watermark embossing ink over the ink blended background to create ghost stamped images. Stamping with this kind of ink will create slightly darker transparent impressions that look like shadows or ghosts!

Welcome back everyone! It’s Nina-Marie here with you today featuring a fun technique on coloring your Pretty Pink Posh Clear Droplets to create gorgeous embellishments for your cards!

I love using Clear Droplets on my cards; because they are clear, this makes them perfect for using with just about any style of project! However, sometimes you might find you want them to be a specific color to coordinate better with your card, or to create a certain effect. Well, by using some Copic refill ink, you can do just that!

I used refills for this technique today, but bear in mind you can color over the Clear Droplets with markers instead. Since I was creating a lot of the same color of droplets, I ended up using the Copic refills because it was faster than coloring with an individual marker.

For those of you looking for other alternatives to recreate this technique: Copic ink is alcohol based; and while I haven’t tried it personally, I would imagine that other alcohol inks like Ranger Adirondacks, Nuvo/Tonic Creative Pens, Chameleon Pens, Touch Twin Markers and others would also work. Just do some testing before trying it on a specific project!

In today’s video, I’ll be sharing the steps I took to create the colored Clear Droplets, including a few tips and tricks! I’ll then walk you through how I used those droplets to create the sweet scene card you see in the photos, using Pretty Pink Posh dies and stamps from My Favorite Things!

Hi friends! It’s Nina-Marie here with you today sharing a fun scene card with you, as well as a look at some of the new stamps and dies that are being released by Pretty Pink Posh on August 5th!

For my card I am going to be using the new Camping Friends stamp and die set, along with the newest addition to the Storybook die collection, Storybook 5! I love this new die and how it has a larger square incorporated into the design, and then a smaller rectangle down below. I can see this being perfect for using as a scene panel like I have done today, or a shaker window!

Because I wanted to make a one layer scene using this die, I did a bit of masking during my initial stamping to achieve this. However if you wanted to skip the masking process, you could stamp all the images individually, die cut them out and then layer them together to build the scene the same way.

I’ll be doing some Zig Clean Color marker coloring in this video; for those of you who are interested in the color combinations I use, I’ll break them down for you below; they are also annotated in the video.

Raccoon: Gray Brown 094, Light Gray 091, Light Pink 026, Light Carmine 021
Tent: Turquoise Green 042, Persian Green 033
Bird: Red 020, Wine Red 024, Yellow 050
Tree Log & Wood Sign: Beige 072, Brown 060, Mid Brown 065
Sky: Light Blue 036, Persian Blue 032, Deep Violet 084, Yellow 050
Moon: Yellow 050, Lemon Yellow 051, Orche 063
Grass: Light Green 041, Mid Green 046, Olive Green 043, Green 040

I hope you’ll watch the video below to see how I created this card! I’ll be sharing tips and tricks along the way, including how I fixed a watercolor mishap (yes, it happens to ALL of us)!

Hello friends! I am so happy you are joining me for another video tutorial, this time featuring a fun circle shaker card and Copic coloring techniques!

I love the Scallop Circle dies, which are one of Pretty Pink Posh’s fabulous, exclusive die sets! These dies are perfect for creating windows, shakers, frames and more. Today I’ve used the die to create both a shaker and a frame for the Copic colored flower scene inside.

You’ll also see I used quite a few other Pretty Pink Posh products including the Twine and Bows die for the faux “ribbon” across the card; Iridescent, Confetti and Sparkling Clear sequins inside the shaker (Ballerina Pink 4mm & 6mm, Bermuda Blue 4mm & 6mm, Sparkling Clear 8mm, Silver Mini Heart Confetti); and the Birdie Friends stamp set for the pretty script sentiment.

The flower is from Hero Art’s Marianne’s Flowers stamp set; Isn’t that rose pretty? I used my Copic markers to color the rose and background.

In the video I have for you (see below), I’ll be walking you through the coloring, as well as how I created texture on the leaves and sky. For reference, I’ve listed out the Copic colors used in today’s project below and in the video:

• Rose: RV00, R81, R83, R85
• Leaves: YG61, YG63, YG67, YG97
• Stem: E42, E84, E87
• Background: BG01

Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and I have a video tutorial to share today featuring one of my favorite dies from Pretty Pink Posh – Stitched Duo 2.

I really love using dies to create unique die cut backgrounds and today I’m expanding the pattern of the Stitched Duo 2 die to create a diagonal stip on my card front.

To learn more, please watch my video tutorial below.

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

The trick to create a background like I have on my card is rather simple. All you need to do for perfect spacing is to die cut the first set of circles and than snap top row of circles of your die with the bottom row of the die cut circles (negatives) on your panel. From there you can expand the pattern however many times you like, you can expand it going just up or down or in all 4 ways to have an entire die cut background for a card.

To decorate my card I decided to use images from 2 sets – Holiday Pals (I used a little branch) and Birdie Friends (used a nest and a chick). I stamped several branches using a couple colors of yellow and green and also stamped 3 chicks and colored all using Copic Markers. All of them were die cut using matching dies.

I couldn’t resist using a few sequins to dress up my card and I went with 6 mm Strawberry Burst, 6 mm Sunshine Glow and of course several small clear droplets. All of those were adhered using Multi Medium adhesive in Matte.

Die cut backgrounds like these can also be die cut out of colored cardstock and mounted onto white card base. Here’s a close up of another card where the panel was die cut out of gray and foam mounted onto white:

• Stitched Duo 2
• Foam Squares: Amazon // Ellen Hutson // Simon Says Stamp
• Birdie Friends stamp set
• Holiday Pals stamp set
• 4mm Clear Droplets

We hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial. Happy cardmaking!

Hello there everyone! It’s Nina-Marie here with you today and I have a fun set of shaker cards to share with you that feature not only a bunch of Pretty Pink Posh’s fabulous new iridescent 4mm sequins, but ALSO all four of the Storybook dies in the Storybook collection! Oh and did I mention that the shaker cards I am creating are RAINBOW shaker cards????

I love making shaker cards and the Storybook dies from Pretty Pink Posh are SO perfect for making cute little shakers! My favorite from the Storybook collection is the new Storybook 4 die; I love all the tiny squares! I actually used this die in another video not too long ago to create a “peek-a-boo” card… you might want to check out after you’ve finished up this post; you can find it on the Pretty Pink Posh blog here.

And since I was turning these Storybook dies into shakers, I thought this would be a perfect way to showcase the GORGEOUS new iridescent sequin colors! So I used a rainbow assortment (literally!) of 4mm and 6mm sequins to create my shakers. The colors I used are as follows:

Fairytale Fuchsia // Ballerina Pink // Strawberry Burst

Peridot Mist // Peacock Feathers // Ocean Spray

Bermuda Blue // Blue Lagoon // Lavender Moon

Sunshine Glow // Iridescent Mini Heart confetti

Yes, I know that’s a lot of sequins, but the result is SO worth it! Be sure to check out the video below to see how I created this card set from start to finish! If you enjoy, please give the video a big thumbs up and subscribe to our channel for more inspiration!
