Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a mix of older and new Fall themed stamps! I love that the new products work so well with previously released stamps so you can bring in what you already have in your crafty stash with your new products.
As always, we’re starting with our stenciling because I’ll be using some stenciling paste and I want to make sure our background has plenty of time to dry. I used a panel of woodgrain cardstock trimmed to 4×5.25” and blended on Ground Espresso Distress Ink through the Deco Leaves Stencil. When I was happy with the color, I cleaned off the stencil and added some stencil paste – this one is called Overheated Solar Paste.
While the background is drying, I stamped the images I wanted to use from the Autumn Wreath stamp set and Fall Jar stamp set with a brown ink that is alcohol marker friendly using a MISTI. I used my Ohuhu Art Markers to color them in and then put them back in the MISTI to stamp the images again with Pinecone VersaFine Clair. Since I kept the stamps in the same spot, I now have a vibrant, brown outline to all of my images and I just LOVE how they look.
I used the Autumn Wreath coordinating dies and Fall Jar coordinating dies to cut out all of my images and by now my background is dry and we’re ready to assemble. I added the background with a tape runner to the center of my A2 card base in white cardstock. I glued down my wreath with liquid adhesive and added my jar with foam adhesive. I layered in the rest of the images with a mix of liquid adhesive and foam adhesive to give everything some dimension!
I’m so ready for Fall to get here! I’m pretending with my crafting and drinking Pumpkin Spice Latte, but these images are just so perfect for the upcoming season. I hope you liked this card and remember to check out the video to see all the details of the card come together!

I used the Fall Cornucopia die set. This die set includes the basket and lots of fruits and vegetables to add to the basket. I die cut all of the pieces and added some ink to edges to add depth.
For the background of my card, I used the Layered Foliage Stencils. This stencil consists of fall leaves. I added a light brown ink to the stencil and then added the same ink to the edges of the cardstock. I wanted a very subtle background since the cornucopia would be the focal point of the card.
The September 2023 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post yesterday, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Mindy has that for you today!
Hey, friends! Leica here with a Thanksgiving card to share. I’m so excited about how this turned out, and I got to use the latest stencils and dies from Pretty Pink Posh.
To get started, I cut a 5-inch square white cardstock. I used some inks and the Layered Woodland Stencils to make a fall-themed background. The inks I used are Antique Linen, Dried Marigold, Mowed Lawn, Ripe Persimmon, Twisted Citron, and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks.
Next up, I used the Winter Mug Dies to cut out a mug shape from cream cardstock. I added a nice pattern to it using the Deco Leaves Stencil and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink. For the other elements, I used the Fall Mug Additions and Fall CornucopiaDies, cutting them from various colored cardstock from Spellbinders.
To make things stand out, I added a vellum layer between the die-cut elements and the background. This softens the background and makes the elements pop and stand out. Lastly, I glued the card panel onto a 5-inch square card base.

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video with some cute mini notecards for Halloween! I love the idea of having something non-treat related for the holiday and these tiny shaker cards are perfect for such occasions.
Before starting the video, I cut my Mini Scallop Card Dies with some orangey-pink cardstock and made shaker frames with black cardstock and a generic nested square that fit nicely inside the stitched square in the die set. I start with making the background since it needs the most time to dry. Using white cardstock, I stenciled the Spooky Sky Stencils with Distress Oxides (Lost Shadow for the clouds and Black Soot for the bats) and stencil paste. I used yellow to make the stars pop!
While the background was drying, I stamped and colored my Halloween Signs stamp set images with alcohol markers. I used the Halloween Signs coordinating dies to cut them out. With black ink, I stamped different sentiments into the signs and they are just the cutest! My background was dry enough so I splattered on some purple metallic watercolor and trimmed them down to just slightly smaller than 2.5×2.5”.
I assembled the shaker panels with acetate and thick foam tape, you can see each step in today’s video! I then adhered the panel to my orangey-pink mini cards as well as white square on the inside with a Halloween sentiment stamped in purple.
I hope you like these mini notecards and they inspire you to make some cute mini cards for Halloween!
I stamped the cupcakes from the Halloween Cupcakes stamp set onto Bristol Smooth cardstock and I colored them using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors: Deep Violet, Black, Light Green, FL Green, Orange, Light Gray, Deep Brown, and Sugar Almond Pink. I used a water brush to blend the colors to get a shaded look. When I finished coloring, I die cut the cupcakes with the Halloween Cupcakes coordinating dies.
For the background of my card, I cut an 8 1/4” x 3 1/4” piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and applied Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink to the entire panel. I added Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink to the edges. Next, I used the Layered Spider Webs stencil and stenciled the spider webs in Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink. I added some Sheer Shimmer Spritz to the background and applied a paper towel over it to pick up some of the ink and to add a little shine.
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today with a shaker card inspired by the Candy Corn Glass Shaker Beads! I think the orange, yellow and white (with some black) are the iconic Halloween colors and I wanted to use some of my favorite images from the latest release on this card, too.
I started with die cutting my background with the largest Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die and the pumpkin from the Boo To You coordinating dies to create my shaker window. To use the emboss resist technique, I stenciled on my spider web layer of the Layered Spider Webs Stencils with embossing ink and used clear embossing powder on the wonky rectangle. I also added the pumpkin stamp from the Boo To You stamp set with black ink and clear embossing powder to the pumpkin cut out.
Now that the embossing is done, I added inks in the color scheme of a candy corn! I started with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide on the bottom right, then blended into Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide and finally a little touch of Picket Fence Distress Ink. I buffed off the ink from the embossing powder and then added a little bit white gold metallic watercolor splatter. The final touch of stenciling is adding in the spiders to my wonky rectangle with the second stencil from the Layered Spider Webs Stencils with a black stencil paste.
While my spiders are drying, I moved on to die cutting some of my favorite images from the Halloween Mug Additions Dies out of scrap cardstock in kraft, yellow, orange, white and black. I added a little ink to my white pumpkin and yellow hat belt, but I assembled them together with such ease and they are so cute! I also stamped my Boo To You stamp set sentiment with embossing ink and white embossing powder onto black cardstock.
Once my background was dry, I assembled my shaker together and added the Candy Corn Glass Shaker Beads and you can see each detailed step in my video today. The pumpkin was adhered to a spider web patterned paper, I created my well around the pumpkin, added the Candy Corn Glass Shaker Beads and closed it with the spider web wonky rectangle panel that also has acetate.
Next I added my die cut images and sentiment around the shaker window as well as some yellow clay confetti circles from the Clay Confetti Wheel #4 for some little, final touches. I hope you enjoy this shaker card and you’re having so much fun with the latest release!
Hi crafty friends! Rebecca here today to share a fun Halloween shaker card! This shaker card is made with the Ghost Shaker Dies and is so fun because it is made with non traditional colors.
The Ghost Shaker Dies come with everything you need to cut the base of the ghost, the shaker frames and the acetate shaker window. I cut my ghosts out of pink cardstock for a fun look, but if pink is not your thing, you can use any color you like for your card. I filled my shaker with the Ghostly Friends Clay Confetti which includes black and white ghosts, hearts, sprinkles and more.
The Ghost Shaker Dies even comes with small dies for the eyes and mouth for your ghost and a boo script sentiment. I used all of those to complete the two flat ghosts and the one shaker ghost. And for a fun touch, I added two of the hearts from the Ghostly Friends Clay Confetti on each ghost to make a bow! This cute die set literally has everything you need to make fun, whimsical Halloween cards with no need for stamping!
For my tags, I used the large pumpkin from the Boo to You stamp set. The pumpkin stamp is made up of several Halloween icons such as ghosts, pumpkins, spider webs, candy corn, and more.
I stamped the pumpkin onto Bristol Smooth cardstock and colored it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors:
Bat: Violet and Blender Pumpkin with Face: Orange, Yellow, Light Green, Blender Pumpkin without Face: Orange, Light Green, Blender Candy Corn, Orange, Yellow, Light Gray, Blender Cat: Dark Gray, Blender Ghost: Light Gray, Sugar Almond Pink, Blender Spider Web: Light Green Stars: Yellow
After coloring the pumpkin, I die cut it with the coordinating pumpkin die. Next, I added some orange ink around the edges of the pumpkin shape and then added the sentiment to the top.
For my second tag, I stenciled a piece of cardstock using the Layered Argyle Stencil. I used Distress Oxide Inks in the following colors: Twisted Citron and Dried Marigold. I die cut the stenciled background using pumpkin die from the Boo to You die set.
I just love these Halloween tags. They are perfect to add to a Halloween treat which can be given to friends, family, co-workers, and trick-or-treaters for Halloween.
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a great day!
