Hi friends, it’s Jeanne! I hope you’re having a great day! Autumn is my favorite time of year because I love the cooler temperatures and bounty of color that can be found everywhere! A drive to the farm stand or through the local forest preserve is a feast for the eyes.
Pretty Pink Posh has so many Autumn stamps and dies that I had trouble deciding which one to use on my card today. I guess I’ve always been a bit of a “more is more” sort of gal so I used images from several different sets.
I arranged all of the images on a piece of plastic the same size as my card base. I enjoyed arranging different elements to make a fall scene before committing and adhering them in place over the Distress Oxide ink panel.
Good Morning Friends! It is Dana here today and I am excited to be back sharing a card for Thanksgiving Theme Week. Remember, everything in the Thanksgiving category will be 15% off this week! It is a great time to stock up on all of your favorite fall products.
For my card, I am using the gorgeous Autumn Wreath Set. I stamped my wreath, floral images and sentiment with VersaMark ink and heat set it with copper embossing powder. I then watercolored my images with a set of Karin Brushmarkers.
Next, I used the Stitched Strips Dies to create my card panel. I ran the dies through my die cutting machine with white cardstock. I attached the strips to a thin piece of paper and trimmed them down to make my panel. Lastly, I used Perfect Pearls in copper to add splatters to my panel and images.
Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my card and be sure and stop back by tomorrow for some more inspiration from the design team.
I set that aside to dry, and once it was dry to the touch, I blended some of those same 3 colors of distress ink over the top – keeping the colors softer and lighter so as not to drown out the leaves underneath. I also added some splatters with white acrylic paint thinned down with a bit of water.
Next up, it was time to add the sentiment! I used the Stitched Hexagons die cut from black cardstock, then layered Thank You Script in white over the top, and popped that up with foam adhesive on the background. The additional little sentiment was from Simple Sentiments, heat embossed in gold, trimmed to a thin strip, then mounted with foam over the top of the larger sentiment. A few Graphite Jewels adhered with my handy Crystal Katana, and then mounted the entire thing on a white cardbase to finish this card off!
Thanks so much for stopping by today – have an absolutely wonderful day!
Hi all, it’s Melody here on the blog today. With Thanksgiving just around the corner I wanted to share an idea I have for some quick and easy place cards for your Thanksgiving table. The place cards make your table just a little more special by adding that handmade touch!
I created four place cards for my post, but the cards can be put together quickly for however many people you have sitting at your holiday table. I started by creating the base for the place cards from Kraft cardstock. I used the stitched rectangle that you get when you die cut the largest die in the Stitched Notes Dies. I scored the Kraft rectangle in the middle then folded the card in half to form a tent card.
I attached the foliage to the place cards, adhering the pumpkins with foam dots to add dimension. The names on the card are computer generated. I finished off the place card with Metallic Gold Jewels.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope I have given you a handmade idea for your Thanksgiving Table.
Since many of us may not be able to share thanksgiving with loved ones this year, I thought it would be sweet to send a few cards in the mail. Just little reminders to friends and family for everything we have to be thankful for this year!
To start, I ink blended the background on a piece of A2 Bristol smooth cardstock using the following distress oxide inks: rusty hinge, mustard seed and squeezed lemonade. Leave the bottom quarter of the card unblended for the stamped images. Next, I used the same ink colors to stamp leaves from the Giving Thanks stamp set for interest. Then using a piece of Bristol smooth card stock, I stamped the images from the same set using versafine onyx black ink.
Images were then colored using the following Zig clean color brush markers: Bears: 064, 028, female bears: 021, 026, 025 and 052, 071, 070, male bears: 043, 041, 060, 067Pumpkins: 070, 052, 202, 021, 046, 044 and pumpkin tops 072 and 065.
White gel pen used to accent the images and then the images were cut using the coordinating dies.
Lastly, I stamped the “happy thanksgiving” sentiment from the Giving Thanks stamp setusing brown ink and then cut the background using the Stitched Notes die. The border around the card was adhered to an A2 white card base using foam tape. The center portion and all of the images were adhered to the card front using liquid glue. And that finishes the card!
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Be sure to stop by the thanksgiving section for 15% off thanksgiving items during this week!
Hi all! Lindsay here on the blog today bringing you a card featuring some of my favorite Pretty Pink Posh holiday dies!
I started with a piece of watercolor paper that I colored with Nuvo Shimmer Powders in various green shades. Once that was dry, I splattered it with white and black splatters.
The centerpiece of this card is then die cut from that watercolored piece using all the tree elements from the Layered Tree Dies. While I had the Layered Tree Dies out, I die cut the small accompanying images of ornaments, stars, and bows from red, gold, and silver glitter cardstock. I knew I wanted the tree to pop on a white background, but wanted a little extra pizzazz, so I cut out the Winter Frame Die from white cardstock for a tone on tone layered background.
Once I had added all of the goodies to the tree, I mounted it using foam background onto the white background with the Winter Frame details. I finished it off with a gold embossed sentiment from the Holiday Signs Stamp Set on red cardstock.
Hope this card inspires you to use some of my favorite PPP products!
Hi Everyone! It is Melody here with you today and I have a Fall Thank You card to share that also doubles as a gift card holder. A handmade card can make a gift card even more special!
I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock to fit the card front and stenciled with the Pumpkin Background Stencil and Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink. At the top I stamped the sentiment from the Pumpkin Patch Critters Stamp Set, one of my favorite fall stamp sets!
To create the gift card pocket I cut a piece of white cardstock, about half the size of the card front, and then die cut the top with the Pocket Border Die. To attach the pocket to the card front I used double stick tape on three sides, leaving the top open.
Today I have a fun Christmas scene card to share. The Christmas Friendsare enjoying decorating their tree for the holidays.
I began with the background, using one of my current favourite techniques – gel plate printing. On a 6×6 gel plate, I added distress oxide inks in the colours speckled egg, peacock feathers and chipped sapphire. I used a brayer to blend the colours together, then took a print using some smooth white card. I love the textured effect you get with gel printing.
I added the same colours to the gel plate again, this time layering the Snowflakes stencil over the top. As I want lighter coloured snowflakes on my background, I first need to take a print on another piece of card to remove the colour where the snowflakes show through the stencil. I can then remove the stencil from the gel plate and print again on my original card. This will add more colour to the card everywhere but where the snowflakes would be, leaving lighter coloured snowflakes on my background.
To add even more texture to the background, I layered the Snowflakes stencil over my panel, inked through it with a clear embossing ink, then heat embossed the snowflakes with WOW Sparkling Snow embossing glitter. I trimmed the panel down and adhered to my card base.
Next, I die cut the Storybook 5 die from pearlescent navy card, trimming down the card so I was left with a skinny frame. I repeated this with pearlescent white card, just keeping the frame inserts for this card. I adhered the navy frame and larger white insert onto my card.
On the smaller white frame insert, I stamped a greeting from the Holiday Greetings stamp set in clear embossing ink. I then embossed the image with WOW Metalline Dark Blue embossing powder, to compliment the background colours, before adhering to the card.
TheLayered Tree die set is one of my favourites for holiday cards. I die cut it from white card and added colour using twisted citron, mowed lawn and pine needles distress oxide inks for the tree, and frayed burlap and black soot distress oxide inks for the trunk. I adhered it to the card, then added some glitter card decorations using the smaller ornament dies from the set.
Next, I stamped some images from the Christmas Friends stamp setand coloured them with copic markers. I die cut them with the coordinating diesand adhered to my card with foam tape.
I gave them each a bauble for decorating the Christmas tree, then added some more baubles around the sentiment. I finished my card with some Pearl White jewels on the tree for extra Christmas sparkle.
I hope you enjoyed this installment of the Create A Scene series. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Friends! It is Dana here today and I am excited to be back on the PPP blog sharing a card with you all. For my card, I am using a fun mix of supplies from Pretty Pink Posh. Let’s get started, shall we?
I started my card by creating an alcohol ink background. I used a rainbow of pearl colors and yupo paper. The colors I used were Pearl Deception, Splendor, Alchemy, Envy, Tranquil and Villainous. I added the inks directly to a piece of felt (attached to a dauber), added a little blending solution and swiped it across my Yupo paper. Once my panel was dry I ran it through my die cutting machine with the Bold Butterflies Die. Don’t you just love this butterfly? It is so fun and I love all the possibilities with this type of die.
For my card layout, I splattered a white panel with a little black reinker. I then used the Scallop Border 1 Die to create the decorative edge at the bottom of my white panel. Next, I used a leftover piece of my alcohol ink paper for the bottom of the card. To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment from the Simple Sentiments Stamp Set and heat set it with white embossing powder. Lastly, I attached my butterfly and sentiment to my card panel with foam adhesive.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope I inspired you to pull out your alcohol inks and create some fun patterns for die cutting. Have a wonderful day.
I used my Fuse Tool from WRMK and created a large pocket for the larger leaf first. I left and opening and filled it with some sequins. I then fused the last section together and that created the pocket. I repeated this for the last two smaller leaves as well but instead of fusing together all four sides, I folded the sleeve over to create a folded edge for the side of the card and then proceeded to use the Fuse Tool on the other three sides.
I then adhered my sequin pockets on the back of the die cut panel and added foam tape around them all. I used the same Thanks Shaker Dieand cut it from some orange, black and white cardstock. I adhered down the orange layer on top and then the black and white for the words. Lastly, I adhered the entire panel onto a white card base.
Thank you so much for stopping by today, I
hope you enjoyed, and I’ll see you all next time.
