Hello crafters, this is Julia taking over the Pretty Pink Posh blog today! I want to show you how you can, quickly and easily, create a shaker card with the brand new, limited edition Autumn Seed Bead bundle that just released!
The Giving Thanks stamp set and die set is perfect for this type of card since the dies for the leaves and pumpkins have enough detail so everyone know what they are. I decided to only cut a few openings into my panel along the left side of my panel, with the sentiment from Giving Thanks snuck in-between.
As with every shaker card, you’ll need to adhere a piece of acetate to the back of your panel and then add foam (dimensional) adhesive around the openings, making sure to not leave any gaps where the shaker elements could escape from. Then add the shaker elements, here the seed beads. I think they are perfect – they are tiny which allows me to add a lot of them even in small spaces and still be able to shake ‘em!
Once you adhere your panel on top, your shaker is done! You can stop here, and just leave it as is, but I wanted to add some very subtle dimension and detail and so I added a few more die-cut shapes of leaves and pumpkins. I used the same card stock that my panel was made from so the color would match exactly.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you had fun with this tutorial! Catch you again soon!
Hi friends! It’s Nina-Marie back with you today and I am sharing some inspiration for using the new Pretty Pink Posh STAMPtember exclusive set that was designed for Simon Says Stamp!
This set called Winter Bird Friend is SUPER cute, and features some fun accessories that can be used to dress up the bird that is also included in the stamp set. I wanted to use the set however to show you that you can use the accessories with some of your other favorite Pretty Pink Posh sets!
I’ve paired the Winter Bird Friend set with the Fox Friends stamp set, also by Pretty Pink Posh, to create a cute snowy scene! I love how adorable the foxes look with their winter attire on… ready for a fun day in the snow!
In today’s video, I’ll be sharing how I created this fun scene, along with tips and tricks on a few techniques I used during the card process!
I hope this was inspiring to you and showed you how you can get even more use out of the fun images included in the Winter Bird Friend stamp set! Thanks for spending some time with me today… I’ll see you again very soon!
Hi everyone! This is Vera and today I have Hexagon Magnetic Bookmark to share with you featuring the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Hexagons Dies.
Magnetic bookmarks are popular lately and they’re so easy to make! When I saw the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Hexagons Dies I knew that there were so many options for both cards and other projects.
To create these magnetic bookmarks, I used white cardstock and flexible magnet sheet (you can use flexible magnet tape too). The images are Pretty Pink Posh clear stamps : Camping Friends | Holiday Pals | Rainy Days and the sentiments are from the Birdie Friends Stamp Set. I blended the hexagon die cut with dye ink pad and colored the images using Zig Clean Color Real Brush. On the back side, you can write the words as desired using a black marker and white gel pen.
Here’s a video to show how I created these bookmarks from the start to finish.
If you read the post title and have followed the Pretty Pink Posh blog for a while, I’m sure you are super excited. For this special challenge blog hop, I am bringing back the popular 10 Minute Craft Dash and honestly, I couldn’t be more excited. This challenge is where I challenged crafters to create something within a 10 minute time frame. I really wanted to encourage crafters that they didn’t need to set aside a whole day, or several hours, to create something.
The super sweet Nina-Marie has created a post, along with a coordinating video, for today’s post. Let’s check out what she made…
Nina-Marie here with you today sharing a fun project -and challenge- with you today! This post is in collaboration with Altenew’s Ultimate Craft challenge and here at Pretty Pink Posh, we are featuring a fun 10 Minute Craft Dash.
In this challenge, you are required to make a card or project in 10 minutes or less! When I got the assignment topic for this post I knew this would be fun, but also REALLY challenging for me because I usually make cards that are pretty involved in the coloring process. I knew immediately that coloring of any length would be out of the question because it takes me MUCH longer than 10 minutes to color something in! Haha!
Another thing I do not do when I am making a card is actually PLAN; I like to create as I go along. I sometimes have a general idea with the direction of a card when I start out, but nothing real definitive. But for this, I knew I needed a solid plan to stick to because of the limited amount of time I had to work with. This layout for my card was super easy to put together, but at the same time, shows off the gorgeous floral pattern in the background perfectly!
Speaking of the background; I wanted to color SOMETHING in this card, but because of the 10 minute time frame, I knew it was going to have to be a fast technique. In this video, I’ll be sharing how I created this beautiful watercolor background in less than 4 minutes!
Be sure you check out the video below to see that, along with how I created the entire card in a total of 9 minutes and 42 seconds!
How to Play: Create a card/ craft project within 10 minutes featuring Altenew and post the time it took to create. Also, include the challenge graphic in your post and link back to the challenge!
Prizes: To celebrate this fantastic blog hop, Altenew is giving away $35 gift certificates to FIVE lucky winners. Winners will be chosen at random from the comments left on any of the blogs listed below and will be announced on the Altenew blog on October 17th, 2016.
* If you aren’t able to stay within the 10 minutes, you can still link up your post. (It might qualify for one of the other challenges part of this challenge blog hop)!
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)!
Thanks so much for stopping by and spending some time with me! Stay tuned to the blog all next week as we share more looks of the new release leading up to the launch on August 5th!
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.
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
To see how I put this card together, be sure to check out the video below or over on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel! Please give it a big thumbs up and subscribe for more creative inspiration!
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.
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.
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:
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:
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!
Heather here to review something new and fun that I saw recently and wanted to know more about – Gansai Tambai Starry Night watercolors! These have been something I have heard a lot about, but also haven’t seen much on how to use them, so I thought I would share my findings with you, and a couple cards using them!
Here is a video I filmed testing them out. I first tried them on plain old 110 lb black cardstock and watercolor paper – but then moved on to testing them OVER the TOP of another watercolor wash in a few deeper colors, and then over some 110 lb white cardstock with some distress inks applied. It was fun seeing how they worked in each application – and this helped me get some ideas of how to use them more in the future!
At the end of the video, I created a couple of watercolor brushed backgrounds – then decided I ought to use them on a card, right? :)
I put together some little umbrella’s by heat embossing the top of the umbrella’s from Rainy Days stamp set in white on vellum, then die cutting them as well as the rest of the pieces from gold cardstock using the coordinating Rainy Days Dies. I carefully glued them together with a bit of sturdy glue and let them dry.
I did some heat embossed sentiments on a strip of black cardstock and vellum, then attached them, and the umbrella’s to my background.
Once the cards were together, I decided something was still missing, so I added some small Scallop circles and a few Sparkling Clear sequins to finish them off! Here is a closer look at each of them – and that black one was HARD to photograph!
Thanks for stopping by! Would love to hear your thoughts on these watercolors! Are they something you would use? Or like to try?
