Valentine Theme Week- Day 3

Hello, friends! It’s Lindsey and I’m happy to be joining Valentine Theme Week with a project that makes me smile. All products in the Valentine’s Day category is 15% off this week!

Valentine’s Day is a pretty exciting time of year when you have little kids around, but I can distinctly remember some sad Valentine’s Days. After one of those in college, I made the decision to make it a day where I help others feel loved. It’s been a goal of mine ever since, and now that I have children I love including them in that goal. Every year we talk and come up with a list of people who we think could use some extra love. Then we set to work creating notes, cards, and sometimes treats.

My littlest loves lollipops (probably because Grandma sneaks them to her), so she is going to show love by giving something she loves. Pretty Pink Posh had the perfect supplies to dress them up! We used All My Love and the coordinating dies to mass produce a giant pile of hearts in pink, raspberry, red, aqua, and turquoise – a color combo I come back to again and again this time of year. Then I heat embossed the heart from All My Love on all of the smaller heart die cuts. After layering the hearts together, we had a big pile to attach to some lollipops. The lollipops were flat, which made them easy to stick onto the back of the hearts with a tape runner. I folded the packaging in a bit before adding the adhesive, so you wouldn’t see it poke out the sides.

We added a little flag, using the Stitched Labels 1 dies. The tiny heart on the flag comes from the Heart Vines dies and the sentiment is from All My Love. We’ll write her name on the back. To adhere, I simply put glue tape on the back side of the rounded edge of the flag and wrapped it around the stick.

I also wanted to show you how you could use the same supplies to make a card. I created a slimline card and added a white double frame using the Slimline: Scallop Frames Dies.

I ran both dies together at the same time, so the inner frame is actually the negative space between the two dies. I used three of the layered hearts for the focal point and added one of the other sentiments in All My Love.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Don’t forget that everything in the Valentine’s Day category is 15% off this week, so pick up some of your favorites and go spread some love.

Valentine Theme Week- Day 2

Hello crafty friends, it’s Yoonsun here to share a Valentine’s Day card with the Heart Vines die along with other love-themed products. The Heart Vines die has been loved by many crafty people already- it sold out but thankfully, is now back in stock.

I started by die cutting the Heart Vines from thick white cardstock. I die cut tiny hearts from red cardstock as well.

I made a heart background for the centre of the card using the Layered Hearts Stencils and Tattered Rose & Festive Berries Distress inks.

For the “Lovely” sentiment, I die cut it from metallic gold cardstock, and another sentiment, I heat embossed it from the Large Floral Hearts set in white.

I mounted all elements as shown in the picture on beige card base. I then decorated the card with red tiny heart die cuts & Sweetheart Rhinestones.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you tomorrow for a new day of Valentine inspiration!

Hugs,
Yoonsun

Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

Hi friends, Tammy here! I’m so excited to be kicking off Valentine Theme Week with Pretty Pink Posh! Today I’m sharing this fun slimline shaker card, mixing together some of the newest release with some previous ones – I just love how all the products work so well together!!

Save 15% off items in the Valentine section during our Valentine Theme Week!

To begin, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock using the largest die from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies, and ink blended it with Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered some watered down Peacock Feathers onto my background for interest and set aside to dry.

Next, I did some paper piecing using the Valentine Hearts Stamp Set. First, I stamped the large scalloped hearts onto white cardstock and die cut them with the Valentine Hearts Coordinating Dies. I then stamped it again onto some patterned paper, fussy cut the hearts, and glued it to the die cut scalloped hearts. The other patterned hearts were simply die cut using the coordinating dies.

I stamped the darling cupids from the Cupid Friends Stamp Set, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Coordinating Dies. Next, I stamped the word “Love”, from the Valentine Hearts Stamp Set, onto white cardstock with Red ink, then I white heat embossed the sentiment from All My Love onto a black strip of cardstock.

Next, I created a white frame border using the Slimline Dies. I then cut a piece of acetate to fit the opening and attached to the backside of the frame. Lastly, I sprinkled some 4mm Sweetheart Sequins Mix onto my card base, then lined the rectangle with Double Sided Foam Sticky Strips, and attached to the front of my card, making sure it is tightly sealed to complete my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you are inspired to start creating some Valentine’s cards! Join us tomorrow for another day of brand new Valentine inspiration!

Big Hugs, Tammy

A New Series by Gemma!

If you missed Gemma’s series from last year- Create A Scene- CLICK HERE.

Hello, Gemma here and I’m excited to be sharing a card today for my new series here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog called Clean & Simple.

I love creating clean and simple (CAS) cards. When I think of CAS, I think of white space and a focal image or area on a card. This style can be very minimal, with few layers and embellishments, but I also love to create mini scenes on my CAS cards. I’ll be sharing a variety of clean and simple looks in this series and I hope they will inspire you to try the CAS style too.

I’m using some new January release products on this card. I began by die cutting a slimline rectangle using the largest die in the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows set.

I positioned the Peonies stencil over the top of the panel, masking it so I could blend ink through one of the flower images. I lightly blended spun sugar distress oxide first, then used a smaller blending tool to add some picked raspberry distress oxide ink for shadow areas, blending out with the spun sugar oxide ink again. For the leaves, I used pumice stone and hickory smoke distress oxides, but also added some shaded lilac oxide ink which adds a lovely purple hue to the leaves.

I repeated these steps, moving the stencil around, masking different flowers and leaves and inking through the stencil, creating a floral scene on the slimline panel.

The ink blending alone own looks lovely and you could defiantly stop there, but I decided to add some details with my colouring pencils. I picked light, medium and dark shades of pencils for both the flowers and leaves. I added details to emphasise the shadows, blending out to the lighter areas. You can use the pencils to define edges too.

I cut a panel of pearlescent card, which picks out the pink tones on my flowers. I layered this on my card base, then added the stencilled panel on top.

Next, I die cut a scalloped frame from white card, using the new Slimline Scallop Frames set. I layered this on to the card to add some pretty detail but still keep the design clean and simple.

I stamped a small sentiment from the Simple Sentiments stamp set. Above this, I added a die cut Celebrate, using the same pearlescent card as the base. I stacked this with two white die cuts for dimension. To finish, I added a few of my favourite Pearl White jewels around the sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed this first installment of the new series. If there is a specific product you’d like me to try to feature in the future, feel free to leave a comment below!

Hi friends! Tammy here sharing a sweet Valentine’s themed card, featuring products from the brand new release!

To begin, I die cut Bristol smooth cardstock using the new Slimline: Peekaboo Window Die Set. Next, using the new Lattice Stencil, I created a fun background by blending Festive Berries, Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide inks.

I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut the following sets:
Valentine Circles/ Coordinating Dies
Valentine Hearts (heart)/ Coordinating Dies
Monkey Friends/ Coordinating Dies
Jungle Friends (vines)/ Coordinating Dies

Next, I die cut a white scalloped circle using the Scallop Circles Dies and layered over an ink blended circle and attached to the center of the inked background.

Lastly, I cut a strip of black cardstock using the Simple Strips Dies and white heat embossed the sentiment from the All My Love Stamp Set, added a couple of little red hearts die cut from the Heart Vines Die, and attached to a white card base to complete my card!

Day 2: Birthday Celebration Blog Hop

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE // If you missed Day 3 CLICK HERE

Hi everyone, Leica here for the second day of our birthday celebration blog hop!

Today I am sharing a birthday slimline card using new items from Pretty Pink Posh. First, I cut a 3.5” x 8.5” panel in white cardstock and used the Wide Stripes Stencil and brushed with distress oxides in Picked Raspberry, Antique Linen, and Spiced Marmalade. I then cut a slightly smaller panel and used the Layered Confetti Stencils using the same inks above. Next, I die cut a pink cardstock using the larger die from the Slimline: Scallop Frames Die Set and glued on the panel with the confetti print.

Next, I stamped images from the Party Days stamp set, colored with Copic markers, and cut with the coordinating dies. I backed them with a yellow cardstock cut using the scallop square from the same die set. I then heat embossed the sentiments from the Let’s Party stamp set in white onto black cardstock that I cut using the Simple Strips die.

Lastly, I adhered the panels onto my slimline card and foam mounted the images for added dimension.

Day 1: Birthday Celebration Blog Hop

If you missed Day 2 CLICK HERE // If you missed Day 3 CLICK HERE

Hi Friends, welcome to day 1 of the birthday celebration blog hop. Melody here today and I am sharing two cards using two of the gifts that are FREE with qualifying $100 purchases this month in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. Details are at the bottom of this post.

First up is a look at the Celebrate Script Die, perfect for holidays and occasions throughout the year. I used the die with the new Birthday Cake Die Set. I started by cutting the die from white card stock to create the card front. Then I used the die again to cut the balloons, candles, and frosting. I inlaid the colored cardstock back in the card front. I also added a coat of glitter to the frosting.

I stenciled the cake with the new Lattice Stencil. The background is stenciled with the new Layered Confetti Stencil. This is a set of three stencils that layer to create a fun background! I added a layer of vellum between the card front and the background.

I die cut the Celebrate Script Die twice, once from white cardstock and once from a light weight chipboard and layered the two die cuts together. Then I blended Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks. I finished off the cake with the new Sweetheart Rhinestones.

My second card is created with the Hedgehog Birthday Stamp Set. I stamped the image in Memento Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers. I lightly blended Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink in the background. I framed the image with the smaller die in the Scallop Frames Dies.

Next I stenciled the background. Starting at the bottom of the card front I blended a pale green, lavender, and pale pink ink. Then I stenciled the background with the Layered Confetti Stencils in the same colors. I finished off the card with the new Cupcake Clay Confetti.

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.
