Hi all! Lindsay here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today! I’m sharing a card using the new Sunflowers Stamp Set. I thought that the sunflowers were a perfect addition to PPP’s floral collection and a great one for fall cards!

I started with stamping a bunch of flowers from the Sunflowers Stamp Set all over a piece of smooth cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and then heat embossed the images with clear embossing powder. While that cooled, I cut masks for the different floral images, and with moving the masks around, I stamped the leaf images from the Sunflowers Stamp Set in the background which also were heat embossed.

Now that I had my full background filled with Sunflowers and Leaves, I got to coloring! I had just gotten the Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers and it was my first time trying them out for a watercolor look. I colored the sunflowers with Autumn Blaze and Warm Sunshine, the leaves with Moss, and the background with Dusk. I finished off the panel with a splattering of white paint. I can’t seem to get through a card these days without some splatter!

When that was fully drying, I die cut the smaller frame from the Scallop Frame Dies in kraft cardstock and the Happy Thanksgiving Script Die from white cardstock. I then adhered those to a dried background panel and a card base and the card was finished!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you were inspired!

Hi friends, Angelica here with a pair of Halloween cards cards showcasing two stencils from the upcoming release. These products will be available August 20th.

I used the new Spider Web Stencil to make this flocked background. I sprayed the back of the stencil with Pixie Spray, then adhered it to black card stock. I spread DecoFoil Transfer Gel over the stencil in an even layer. I removed the stencil, and set the card stock aside for a few hours to dry.

I trimmed a piece of black DecoFoil Flock Transfer Sheet slightly larger than the black card stock. I put the flock side down onto the dry Transfer Gel, and ran it through my pre-heated MINC machine. Once it was out of the machine, I peeled off the sheet, revealing a flocked spiderweb.

The large BOO is from the new Boo Stamp Set. I stamped and colored the word, then used the coordinating die to die-cut it. I attached it to the spiderweb with thin foam squares. I added the panel to to a card base, then finished the card with a white heat-embossed sentiment from the same stamp set.

My second card features the new Wafers Stencil.

I used Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Wilted Violet, and Black Soot Distress oxides to blend over the stencil. I moved the stencil in a different position for each color. I used my Ranger Make Art Stay-tion (You can see how much I use this tool!) to keep my stencil positioned straight and even. My last color, Black Soot , was topped with a thin layer of Brutus Monroe Unicorn Horn Glitter Glaze.

Once the glaze was dry, I trimmed the panel, and mounted it onto black card stock.

I colored the cat and dog from the Halloween Pals Stamp Set, and used the coordinating dies to die-cut them. I attached them to a die-cut Window Frame, then added the frame to the card front. I used foam adhesive to attach the card front to a card base, then added a heat-embossed sentiment to finish the card.

We have a total of six stencils in this release- you are going to love each of them. Tomorrow you’ll see all of them in picture form!

I hope I have given you some new ideas on how to use these stencils. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Friends! It is Melody here on the blog today and I am going to give you a sneak peek at the new Fall Borders Stamp Set and the Thanksgiving Scene Stamp Set being released on August 20th. I always am a little extra excited for the Fall Release. It kicks off the start of creating for the holidays! 

Here’s a look at my first project. I stamped the Thanksgiving Scene Stamp Set in a dark brown pigment ink and colored the with my Copic Markers. I used a blending brush to add a pale yellow ink to the background. 

There are three different border stamps in the Fall Borders Stamp Set. I cut a piece of Kraft cardstock to fit the card front and stamped the leaves borderat the top and bottom of the card front. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. Then I colored the leaves in a variety of fall colors. Around the edges of the card front I sponged on Distress Ink in Brushed Corduroy. 

Next I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the Thanksgiving Scene Stamp Set on a strip of deep red cardstock and added a strip of gold cardstock at the top and bottom of the scene. 

On my second card I used the Fall Borders Stamp Set in a couple of different ways. First I used the Fall foliage border to create the background pattern, stamping dark green ink on dark green cardstock. The I stamped the border again on a strip white cardstock, colored with Copic Markers, and sponged Antique Linen Distress Ink on the edges. Then I die cut the larger of the window in the Window Frames Dies directly into the card front. 

To create the scene in the window I used the previously released Autumn Wreath Stamp Set and the Pumpkin Patch Critters Stamp Set and their coordinating dies. I love how these sets coordinate so well with the new stamp sets! I finished off the card with a few Espresso Jewels. 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope I have inspired you to start thinking about creating for Fall!
