Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here I have a super fun and also super easy interactive card design to share with you…a pop-up card!

Complicated interactive card designs always seem like too much for my lazy…I mean relaxed crafting heart so I love that there is a pop-up card that takes just a few simple cuts! And I love that this card style pairs so well with the Pretty Pink Posh holder dies!

I used the dog for this birthday card but can you imagine the possibilities?!! A pop up ghost at Halloween! A pop up fox at Christmas!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you were inspired by this pop up card idea!

Supplies:
Streamers die set
Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set
Dog Holder die set
Birthday Holder Additions die set
Alphabet Candles stamp set
Layered Garland stencils

Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I’m getting excited for Valentine’s Day! It’s coming up and if you haven’t started to make your Valentine’s cards yet, I have some ideas for cards you can make in a hurry with minimal supplies!

Only have five minutes to craft? Grab the Stitched Hearts dies and make an ink blended heart with a small sentiment!

Find ten minutes to create? Add a few black & white stamped critters around a colorful heart! The Valentine Ghost Friends are perfect because they look adorable with just rosy cheeks!

And if you have a little more time, of course I think you should make a shaker!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you were inspired by these quick and easy cards.

Hello friends! This is Mindy Eggen with you today to share some yummy inspiration featuring the Valentine Cake Pops!

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

Have you tried cake pops? I’ll share a secret… I have never tried a cake pop. Gasp! What?! I know! But I’ve heard they are yummy.

So since I don’t have these in my home calling my name, I’ll admire them from afar by creating them on a card.

Although I created these in a Valentine’s Day theme with the Scattered Heart Frame stencil in the background with pinks and reds, these could easily be a birthday card, anniversary card or honestly any kind of card.

Who wouldn’t smile getting a card with a cake pop on it? To add a sentiment, I used the Valentine Greetings stamp set and coordinating dies. There’s a lot of great words in this set!

Can’t forget the finishing touches by adding Valentine Mix embellishments and glossy accents.

Now in all the goodness, are you craving a cake pop right now ?

Thanks everyone for stopping by today and hope you enjoyed the inspiration.

Mindy

Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I must admit that I’m not really a romance & fancy dinner kind of Valentine but I do love to send cute cards to my friends to remind them how much I love them! And what better way to tell someone how loved they are than a shaker card!

You might know that I always love a shaker card, LOL, but it really is extra fun for Valentine’s Day! And the Pretty Pink Posh XOXO die makes the most fabulous shaker window! 

• XOXO stamps
• XOXO dies
• XOXO Pierced Plate die
• Fox Holder dies
• Valentine Holder Additions

Plus after you use the XOXO to make a window, you can use the die cuts (with a few more) to make a second cute Valentine card!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Stop by tomorrow for another day of Valentine inspiration!

Hi crafty friends! Rebecca here with a set of thank you cards today!

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

After the holidays, I always have a lot of thank you cards to create! So I love to come up with a design and mass produce it to create several cards at once. This is especially easy with a die cut only card!

A background die is a great way to start by adding texture and interest to the background without any stamping techniques! I love the Pierced Leafy Vines Plate Die and

Pierced Hearts Plate Die for subtle texture and a pretty background design.

Of course you need a great sentiment. I grabbed the thanks sentiment from the Many Thanks Shadow Dies. Cutting the word die out of specialty cardstock like glitter or foil adds a nice touch of shine.

Since I decided to keep these cards simple without any images, I wanted to make sure the sentiment stood out. So I cut out the Scallop Circles Dies and inked the center piece with colors that coordinated with my cardstock choices. You could also try different sentiment holders like the Scallop Squares Dies or the Scallop Ovals Dies.

If you don’t need to add any more thank you cards to your stash, you could always add envelopes and place them in a gift box and tie with ribbon or twine. Whether for a holiday, birthday or graduation, a box of thank you cards is a fabulous gift!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi, friends, it’s Lauren! Welcome back to the Pretty Pink Posh blog. I’m so excited to share a step-by-step guide to creating a sweet Valentine’s Day shaker card.

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

For this project, I’ve combined the adorable Fresh Berries stamp set and coordinating dies with the newly released Valentine-themed products, including the Valentine Greetings stamp set, coordinating dies, Double Heart Shaker Dies, and the XOXO Pierced Plate Die. The centerpiece is a double heart shaker element, filled with the lovely Love Shaker Beads and Strawberry Valentine Mix. These vibrant accents inspired me to bring back the strawberries from the Fresh Berries Stamp Set—don’t they pair perfectly?

I began by stamping the images from the Fresh Berries stamp set in alcohol marker-friendly black ink on white cardstock. Using my OLO markers, I carefully colored the strawberries with three shades of red for dimension and shine. I added brown tones to the seeds and green tones to the leaves, finishing with subtle highlights using a white gel pen. The flowers were kept white with pale yellow centers for a delicate touch. For the berry basket, I stamped it on kraft cardstock and shaded it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink to create a textured, dimensional look. Once everything was colored, I used the Fresh Berries coordinating dies to cut out all the pieces.

Next came the heart-shaped shaker frame, created using the Double Heart Shaker Dies. For the window, I used acetate, hand-trimming it to fit the heart frame. After adhering the acetate with liquid glue, I added foam adhesive strips to the back to build the shaker compartment. Filling it with the Love Shaker Beads and Strawberry Valentine Mix was so fun! The mix of strawberries and clay hearts added just the right festive flair. After securing the shaker to my card base, I assembled the berry basket with its charming strawberries and flowers, layering them with foam adhesive for added dimension.

To finish, I added the sentiment “XOXO” from the Valentine Greetings stamp set, embossed in white for a crisp, elegant look, and cut it out with the Valentine Greetings coordinating dies. I adhered it to the heart shakers to tie everything together. This card was a labor of love, but seeing it come together made every step worthwhile.

I hope you enjoyed crafting with me and feel inspired to pair Pretty Pink Posh’s new Valentine products with older favorites for your projects. Thanks for joining me, and stay tuned for more creative inspiration. Happy crafting!

Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I’ve got a question for you…have you tried masking with Glossy Accents?

I love the look of the Glossy Accents and I’m thrilled that it does double duty as a permanent mask! Plus it’s the perfect way to combine white ghosts (from the new Valentine Ghost Friends) and colorful backgrounds!

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

Here are some tips for success…

• use heavyweight cardstock to avoid warping from the layer of Glossy Accents
• emboss your stamped design to help keep Glossy Accents inside the lines
• apply Glossy Accents as close to the edge of the stamped image as possible
• use a craft pick to remove bubbles from wet Glossy Accents, pull into small spaces of the stamped image and “erase” any that does go outside the lines
• let Glossy Accents air dry completely before adding ink blending or watercolor 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
