Hello, Gemma here to share some Christmas inspiration. I love combining new and older release sets from Pretty Pink Posh to create scenes. The Bear Friends are getting ready for Christmas on my card today.
On a white card panel, I masked an area for the hill and blended distress oxides above for a wintry sky. Flicking with water adds droplets for a snow effect.
From the centre of the panel, I used a Window Frame die. I adhered the die cut piece directly on my card base, then added the rest of the panel to the card with foam tape. This creates a nice focal point in the centre.
I stamped one of the sentiments from Holiday Signs on the post, then adhered the images to the card. I finished by adding some Pearl White jewels to the centre area for Christmas sparkle.
Hello Pretty Pink Posh friends! It’s Jeanne here and today we are kicking off Day 1 of our 5 Days of Giveaways in honor of this Christmas season. I’m sharing a cheery Christmas Card! I love to make cards with bright bold color and using a simple color block technique makes great results.
I started by cutting the Stitched Borders 3 die in several shades of ombre red and green. Because I like to save time, I cut several stackable border dies at one time. I reserve the extra die cuts for future projects. The next time I make a color block card I will have several colorful strips ready to choose from. Because the dies have a stitching detail the card stock cuts don’t release easily. I always place wax paper between the cardstock and the die to make removing them much effortless.
I adhered the stripes at an angle to the front of my card base. When the panel was covered I snipped off any bits that were overlapping. The stacked dies are really unique because they fit together edge to edge with no overlap so your finished card is very flat and smooth. Next I adhered the Winter Frame cut from white card stock to the colorful striped panel.
I adhered the Layered tree die in shades of teal over the colorful striped panel. For the most contrast I cut the top of the tree from a light shade of teal to adhere over the darkest stripes of red. The darkest shade of teal used for the bottom layer of the tree is placed over the lighter green stripes.
Hi, friends! We’re excited to be collaborating with Xyron today, sharing foiled projects for the holidays! This is Caly and I have a decorative lantern to share with you using the Stitched Poinsettias and Pine Springs dies!
I started by printing a big sheet of toner-filled cardstock to have a base for my foil to stick to to run through the Xyron Glaminator foil machine. After printing, I cut pieces of red, gold, and green foil to cover the entire space, put them in my carrier sheet and ran them through the Glaminator.
Once I had my foiled cardstock, I cut the different colored
sections and then placed my dies over them to run through my die-cutting
machine to get my poinsettia and foliage.
They are so pretty!
I adhered all the foiled pieces together to create my
poinsettia and then adhered the leaves and pine springs with foam adhesive and
then decorated my lantern. I decorated
my lantern two ways – heavy at the top as well as top and front.
GIVEAWAY: be sure to head to the Pretty Pink Posh Instagram for a chance to win a complete Glaminator prize pack!
These make for beautiful center pieces or just decorative pieces around your home. I hope you’ve enjoyed this project! Make your holidays shiny with foil and holiday dies from Pretty Pink Posh!
Hi friends, Jeanne here! The holidays are the perfect time to send cards to family and friends to remind them that they are dear to your heart. It’s a small gesture to let them know that you are thinking of them and wish them good health and cheer. I have a few friends that don’t celebrate Christmas – instead they are celebrating Hanukkah! Doesn’t 8 days and nights of celebration sound amazing? Ok.. so a little jealous here! But seriously, of course I want to respect and celebrate their faith and send them my best wishes with a card that is appropriate for them.
I stamped the Happy Hanukkah sentiment on white card stock and cut it with the smaller Scallop Circle die cut. The open window style die makes it easy to center the sentiment perfectly.
I stamped the menorah in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic Markers. The coordinating die cuts make this a snap to cut out. I love that the flames are solid stamped images. I stamped mine with yellow ink and added highlights with a Copic Marker.
Wishing you many blessings – may the gifts of love, peace and happiness be yours!

I started by creating two colourful panels of watercolour cardstock, using Ken Oliver Colorburst powders. I used a mix for each one, to add variation and interest to them. I also spritzed shimmer sprays on them, to create some festive sparkle.
When they were dry, I cut the largest Stitched Poinsettia from the red panel and I cut the Winter Scenefrom the green panel. I used only the stitched circular frame on my card, but I kept the rest of the pieces for another card.
I arranged the ‘wreath’ on my card, and I created some fun contrast by tucking one of the flower petals underneath the green frame, and then popping up the rest of them with foam tape.
I used a tiny Merry Christmas sentiment from Holiday Signs, and I placed it where the slope of the sentiment would fit right underneath one of the petals. It’s just a tiny detail, but it definitely shows that thought was put into the placement of the sentiment.
To finish off the card, I used 3 of the smallest gold confetti from the new Celebration Confetti mix for some shine.
I hope you enjoyed this video. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello, Pretty Pink Posh’ fans! This is Yana Smakula. In this video, I’ll show you 2 modern and easy to make Christmas cards ideas using the same stamp, the Winter Wreath stamp set. As a bonus, I’ll also show you how you can use your coordinating dies to add foiled outlines to your stamped images.
I like modern designs in my cards so I decided to go for a slightly more modern color palette and a modern design. The design, however, can be done in more traditional colors, red, green and white. I use a lot of dark blues, some gold and just hints of red to make my cards look festive.
For my first card, I started with a panel of dark blue cardstock cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2”. I didn’t want the design to cover the entire front, I wanted there to be a small border, so I masked a ¼” border using low tack tape.
Next, I used a sentiment from the Joy stamp set, it reads “Wishing You a Blessed Holiday Season” and positioned it along the bottom edge of the card. I added single stamp images from the Winter Wreath stamp set and stamped them repeatedly to fill the entire background in. Don’t stamp your images all around the panel, stamp them one next to the other to make sure you build a nice solid background.
If you feel your embossing ink pad isn’t juicy enough you might want to pause and cover the already stamped images with embossing powder and then continue stamping additional images. You don’t have to stamp them all and then cover all. You can work in small sections.
Also, save the smallest images for last. There’s an image of berries and it’s rather small so you can use it to carefully fill any odd gaps you might have on your background.
To add some definition to the heat embossed images I used a darkest blue Copic marker I have in my stash, the B99 marker, and added subtle shading. This made a world of a difference and helped the images stand out from the background. I also added a bit of color to the berries. For this, I used Nuvo Drops in Red Berry.
My second card is very similar. I heat embossed the image of a wreath and a sentiment placed inside of it on the same dark blue cardstock. Next, I heat embossed and cut out additional, single images to adorn the wreath. I colored all, or rather added shading to all, using a dark blue marker.
I also heat embossed and colored a poinsettia. This time, however, I used white cardstock and colored not only the image of the flower, but also the white space around it to make it look like it was heat embossed on dark blue. I used R39, R27, R24 and R22 markers along with the B99.
Images were adhered using glue and foam adhesive at the top of the wreath. I also used the same Nuvo Drops. Finally, I love to use jewels by PPP so I added a good amount ofMidnight Black Jewels all around the wreath to spice the design up. It’s a simple card, but small finishing touches such as these jewels make it that much more special.
Finally, here’s the bonus idea I mentioned showing how you can use your coordinating dies to add foiled outlines to your stamped images. If you own a hot foil machine such as Glimmer by Spellbinders or another machine of the same kind you can use your coordinating dies to add foiled halo-like outlines to your stamped images.
To create this card I first foiled the image outlines (using coordinating dies) on the background. It took me 4 times to foil a full A2 card background. I used Winter Wreath coordinating dies (just the single image dies) and gold foil.
Having done that I placed the panel into my MISTI tool and positioned the coordinating stamps one by one placing them each into their own coordinating foiled spot. From there I heat embossed the images using Antique Gold embossing powder. This is very similar to what I did for the first project, but instead of just heat embossing the images, I also added foiled image outlines making this card design extra special. It wasn’t hard to do, but it surely added a nice foiled touch to the card.
Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a card that you can mass produce easily for after holiday thank you cards. I think these are a really sweet and fun idea to either thank someone for their gift, or for coming over on Christmas etc. It’s just a nice way to show your appreciation if you’re that person who loves to send any sort of card. I used the popular Hummingbird Thanks stamp set, just because I love it so much and the sentiment is perfect and then I also pulled in the Penguin Pals stamp setfor the little Christmas hats, just to make it more festive!
To start off my project today I stamped out a ton of the Hummingbirds onto some watercolour paper. I then clear heat embossed over them so it would be easier to contain my watercolour. I then used a mix of colours of Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers to colour these in. I went for an aqua, blue and purple colour combo to give that wintery feel. I then used red for the hats as well. Once they were coloured, I dried them off with a heat tool and cut them out using the coordinating dies.
Now that all my pieces were ready, I started on the backgrounds. I used my Mini MISTI to stamp my sentiment into the middle of the watercolour paper pieces and gold heat embossed them. I then ink blended in the centre of each of the panels with Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks. I flicked each of them with water and dried them again with a heat tool.
I then adhered my hummingbirds into place
with foam tape onto each of my panels as well as their Santa hats on top. I did
this to make them appear more festive since I plan to use these for holiday
thank you cards, but you could leave them off if they’re for everyday use.
Lastly, I took a piece of 12×12 patterned paper, cut it down into four panels
and adhered all my panels together to complete my cards.
So that finished up my cards for today, I
hope you all enjoyed. I love creating simple cards like this that are easy to
mass produce and used for different seasons.
Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you next time.
