Sneak Peek: Fall Signs

Hello crafty friends! It’s Yoonsun here to share with you my autumn-themed card with the Fall Signs Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies along with the Pumpkin Background Stencil. All of these products will be available on August 20th!

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Fall Signs

I started by stamping some images from the Fall Signs set on watercolor paper using black pigment ink. I watercolored all stamped images, and then die cut them with the matching dies. I stamped the autumn greetings on the sign boards using black ink as well.

For the background, I placed the Pumpkin Background stencil on white card base, and then inked with pale brown dye ink.

Sneak Peek: Boo

Hello, Gemma here with a sneak peek to share with you all. I’m using the new Boo set, which is so much fun for Halloween. I made two cards to show how easy it is to get very different looks with this set.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Boo

For my first card, I started with the background. I inked up two panels of white card with distress oxide inks in cracked pistachio, peacock feathers and black soot. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Boo

On one of these panels, I used the new Spider Web stencil with embossing ink, then heat embossed the pattern with a clear glitter embossing powder.

On the other panel, I stamped the larger ‘Boo’ from the set and embossed it with white embossing powder. I then used the coordinating die to cut the letters out, keeping all the pieces.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Boo

I layered the spider web panel onto my card base with foam tape, then adhered the stamped embossed letters from the other panel in the spaces. I set these back for dimension, and popped up the inside letter pieces (from the spider web panel) with foam tape.

For my second card, I’m using the die cut spider web letters from my first card to create a very different look.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Boo

I used distress oxides for my background, this time choosing picked raspberry, wilted violet, blueprint sketch and chipped sapphire. Halloween colours are so much fun! I flicked the panel with water to add lots of detail.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Boo

I white heat embossed a sentiment from the Boo stamp set at the bottom of the card, then used foam tape to adhere the Boo die cut letters. I love the impact of these large letters across the card.

The Boo stamp set has lots of fun Halloween images. I stamped and copic coloured them, choosing mostly blue, pink and purple colours to match my background.

I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out, then placed them around my card, adhering with foam tape. I love to add the hat to one of the letters.

I hope you enjoyed these Halloween cards- there are so many fun uses for this set. Join us tomorrow for another sneak peek of the August 20th release!

Sneak Peek: Sunflowers

Hi friends, Angelica here, and I am so excited to sharing two cards today using products from Pretty Pink Posh’s August 20th Release. You’re going to love the new stamps, dies, stencils, and vibrant new jewels! 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Sunflowers

Today I am showcasing the new Sunflowers Stamp Set. I stamped the images onto white card stock, and colored them with the following Copic Markers: Flowers- Y13, Y15, V91, E47,E44, E43, E42; Leaves- YG61, YG63, YG67.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Sunflowers

For the background, I used a blender brush to blend Kraft ink over the new Wafers Stencil. I moved the stencil 4 times for this pattern. I trimmed the panel down to 4×5.25, and attached it to a card base with foam adhesive. I used the largest Stitched Hexagon Die to die-cut white card stock. I adhered it to the card, then added the sunflower and leaves with foam adhesive. I added a gold heat-embossed sentiment from the new Bear Friends Stamp Set to finish the card.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Sunflowers

I used the rest of the floral images on the next card.

On the white card stock I had die-cut the hexagon from, I blended light green ink over the new Autumn Leaves Stencil. I die cut a smaller hexagon window from Neenah Desert Storm card stock, then attached the stenciled white frame with foam adhesive . I blended the same green ink onto the front of a card base, then stamped a sentiment from the Everyday Greetings stamp set. I attached the card front to the base with foam adhesive, then added the flowers. I finished the card with a few jewels from the Citrus Jewels Mix.

I hope I have given you ideas for the new Sunflowers stamp set. Join us tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Today’s card is using the fabulous Summer Surfboards set. This card just makes me want to be by the seaside on a summers day. I began by adding some colour to my card base with distress oxide inks. I masked off areas of the card to create sky, sea and sand. Here are the colours I used:

Sky: tattered rose, picked raspberry and dried marigold 
Sea: tumbled glass and peacock feathers 
Sand: tattered rose

Pretty Pink Posh: 2019 Mega Sponsor Fall Blog Hop Begins Today!

By using a light hand with the tattered rose distress oxide ink, it adds a lovely warm glow to the sand, reflecting the colour in the sky. For the sea, I added some white gel pen details for surf and waves, smudging with my fingers to soften.

Next, I coloured two of the Summer Surfboards with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I used foam tape to adhere them to my card base,

The sentiment is from the Tropical Birds stamp set, and I added some watermelon, cornflower, and caribbean blue jewels around it to finish.

Tutorial: Toucan Aloha Shaker

Rina here with a card using the fun Aloha Shaker.  I absolutely enjoy using these shaker dies from Pretty Pink Posh, they make shaker card making a breeze!

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

Please watch my video on a step by step tutorial on how I made this card.  I used a different method this time.  I made a standalone shaker and then adhered it to my card base.  It makes a really big impact because of its dimension. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Toucan Aloha Shaker

I used the Tropical Toucans stamp set and its one of my favorite stamps sets from this release.  I love the small set that makes a big impact with the variety of birds and the awesome floral branch. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Toucan Aloha Shaker

For the shaker bits, I’ve used the new Luau Jewels, it is a gorgeous mix of blues, greens and fuchsias.  This color combination is the perfect combination for a fun tropical card.  I also added gold mini stars and the sparkling clear stars to top off the shaker mix.

I hope you try out this fun shaker card and enjoy your summer so far!

3 Cards Using Stencil Techniques

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I’m continuing on with the Stencils Video that was posted a little while ago. I shared 12 ways to use the newly released stencils using different mediums and techniques and in today’s video I’m using four of my favourite backgrounds that I created to make three cards.

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

I started off with picking out the four backgrounds. I used the embossing paste and dry embossing backgrounds together using the Graduation Stencil, the water-coloured leaves background using the Leaves Stencil and also the bleached background using the Wide Stripes Stencil. I used various stamps from different releases to help decorate each card. Once I knew what stamp sets I was using, I stamped out my images, coloured them in with Copic Markers and cut them all out.

Pretty Pink Posh: 3 Cards Using Stencil Techniques

Copic Markers Used: Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19 / R14, R24, R27, R89 / N2, N4, N6, N8 / 0 / W00, W0, W1 / BV01, BV02, BV04, BV08 / YG01, YG23, YG17, YG67 / RV21, RV23, RV25, RV29 / B000, B00, B01 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / BG10, BG11, BG34, BG45 / E30, E31, E33, E34 / E000, E00, E21, E02 / B93, B95, B97, B99 / E81, E84, E87, E89

For my first card I used the embossing paste and dry embossed background. I also used the Congrats Grad Stamp Set for the images and sentiment. I stamped them out, coloured them in and then cut them out. I then cut down the dry embossed background to a thinner strip and adhered it onto my embossing paste background using foam tape. I then stamped the ‘Congrats Grad’ sentiment into the centre and stamped a few yellow stars around it as well. I added foam tape onto the back of the hats and scroll and adhered them into place. I lastly adhered the panel onto a white card base.

For my second card, I used the water-coloured leaves background. I used the Mother’s Day Stamp Set stamped and coloured in a few of the images, I then cut them out. I added foam tape onto the backs and adhered them into place on my card. I then used the Elephant Friends Stamp Set and stamped the ‘Big Hugs’ sentiment into place. I tied a small hemp cord bow onto the vase to give a little extra texture. I added a green strip of cardstock onto the left-hand side and adhered the entire panel onto a card base.

Pretty Pink Posh: 3 Cards Using Stencil Techniques

For my last card I used the bleached yellow sunray background. I used some images from Tropical Birds, Summer Friends and Summer Surfboards stamp sets, I stamped out some images and coloured them in. Once they were coloured, I cut them out. For my background as well as the bleached background, I used the Stacked Edges 1 Die and used the scallop one to cut a wave border on a blue piece of cardstock.

Pretty Pink Posh: 3 Cards Using Stencil Techniques

I then used the Stitched Borders 1 Die and used the curved one to cut from some brown cardstock. I added adhesive onto the backs of both of the pieces and adhered them down onto the sunray background. I then added foam tape onto the backs of the images and adhered them down into place. For my sentiment I used the ‘Sending You Sunshine’ from Summer Friends and stamped it in black ink on the top of my card.

That finished up all three of my cards today, using four of the stenciled backgrounds I made in a previous video. Thank you so much for stopping by today and I’ll catch you all next time.

Tutorial: Creating A Tropical Background

Hello! Lindsay here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today. I’m going to be sharing a card using the Tropical Toucans Stamp Set, Tropical Toucans Coordinating Dies, Aloha Shaker Die, and Tropical Leaves Stencil

Pretty Pink Posh: Creating A Tropical Background

To begin, I cut a piece of smooth cardstock to 4” by 5 ½” to fit into the Gina K Wreath Builder 4” template. I watched a video by Jennifer McGuire on how to use the wreath builder template with stencils and I knew ALL of the PPP stencils would be so great for the technique! Check out her video here for even more details and amazing examples. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Creating A Tropical Background

To set up the wreath builder and stencil, I taped down the wreath builder onto my craft mat. I added the stencil off to the side, taping the top of the stencil down to create a hinge in order to be able to move the cardstock around freely in between rotations. I started with the top part of the cardstock lined up as pictured, that is the edge that will always stay in the stencil as you rotate around to create the pattern. I then rotated the cardstock around in the wreath builder, changing up the ink blending colors as I went between Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover, and Twisted Citron.

After I was done, I added in some individual leaves where I felt I needed a bit more color and ended up with this as the background. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Creating A Tropical Background

With the background complete, I started on my images from the Tropical Toucans Stamp Set and stamped them with a copic friendly ink and got to coloring with my copics. I added white details with a gel pen for a little pop. 

For the sentiment I heat embossed the sentiment on matching green paper and paired it with a black die cut Aloha Shaker Die. I then arranged all of my die cuts around the white aspect of my background to finish up the card.

I hope you enjoyed this card and got some more ideas for how to use all the amazing stencils that PPP has to offer!

Tutorial: Animal Signs Graduation

Hi everyone, Rina here with a congratulations card using the Animal Signs stamp set. I really enjoyed tailoring the signs to exactly what I wanted.  Since it is graduation season, I also used the Congrats Grad stamp set to pair with the koala. The Pretty Pink Posh script dies are always a favorite of mine so I used the Congrats Script die.

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

I also wanted to take this opportunity to play with the new stencils. I created a fun landscape using the Scallop Borders 2 dies and Distress Oxide ink in Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover. I used the Leaves Stencil to create texture on my landscape.  I cannot wait to use the other stencils!

I colored my images in copic markers using the following colors:

Y13, YR24, YR04, YR27

W1, W3

E51, E50, E55

Vibrant Tropical Scene

Hello, everyone! Marge here for you today and I’m so excited to share a card with you for the June Release from Pretty Pink Posh.

Pretty Pink Posh: Vibrant Tropical Scene

I started by die cutting Tropical Frame Die from watercolor cardstock and then I water-colored the frame in tropical moods. I cut another Tropical Frame Die, removed the inner pieces using a knife, then I adhered the rectangle to my colored frame. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Vibrant Tropical Scene

I made a green background with graduation using the brand new Triangles Stencil, then I stamped a sentiment from Encouraging Greetings Set. Next, I adhered the Tropical Frame onto the stencil background using Thin Strips Foam Adhesives and Square Foam Adhesives.

Pretty Pink Posh: Vibrant Tropical Scene

I added flamingos, a parrot from Tropical Birds Set, and a bough from Birdie Friends Set, all of which were cut with Tropical Birds Coordinating Dies and Birdie Friends Coordinating Dies. For embellishing, I adhered various colors of Jewels and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins
