Hello crafty friends! It’s Yoonsun here to share a floral wreath card with so beautiful Spring Foliage die set that releases on May 16th. It contains small sized stitched flowers & leaves- so perfect for making many different styled spring floral cards!

I started by die cutting flowers and leaves from coloured cardstock using the Spring Foliage die set.

Next, I die cut 4 leafy borders from white cardstock using the Stitched Leafy Borders die, then adhered them on white card base using fine tip glue pen. I lightly drew a circle line on the centre of the leafy base using pencil, and then adhered flower die cuts along the circle line using foam tape first, and then added leaves.

For the sentiment on top of the floral wreath, I used the new Celebration Scripts stamp set.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Join us tomorrow for a full picture reveal of the May 16th release!

Hugs,
Yoonsun

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a sneak peek of two of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on May 16th. There are five new stencils being released, which include a fun Pinstripe, Mini Grid, Layered Letters and the two I will be using today. 

For my first card I am using the new Layered Spring Flowers stencil pack. This is a three pack of stencils that can be layered together to create the most adorable background. I used dye ink and a blending brush to create my panel. The first two layers create the flowers and then the final layer is the flower’s center. For the last layer I used Glitz Glitter Gel in white to give the flowers a little extra sparkle. 

For my sentiment, I used the new Celebration Scripts set. This is a great set of sentiments, perfect for so many occasions. Next, I used the Spring Foliage dies to create my white flowers and leaves. These dies are just the sweetest. There are so many options for building bouquets, floral clusters and accents. I know it is a set of dies that I will use often. Lastly, I added Light Orchid and Creamsicle pearls to my flower’s centers to finish my card. 

My second card uses the new Crafty Background stencil set. 

The Crafty Background stencil set is a pack of three stencils that layer together to make the most adorable background. It’s perfect for your favorite crafter and coordinates perfectly with all the new craft supplies sets that will be available with the new release. To create my panel, I used dye ink, finger daubers along with a little post-it tape for some masking. 

Next, I used the dies from the new Crafty Days die set to create my frame. I then used the Crafty Critters set for my sentiment, mouse and craft supplies. I colored the images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Lastly, I attached my frame to the center of my card panel with foam adhesive and attached everything to an A2 card base. 

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my cards and I can’t wait to see what you create with these fun new products.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hi folks, Kavya here with another fun sneak peek of the new release! If you love crafting and florals – THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU! I absolutely love what PPP did with the theme! My card today is an extension of my love for creating mini envelopes for my cards. I created a mini bouquet of flowers this time around to hold the gorgeous florals from the Spring Flowers set. 

I first started off by creating my background by ink blending Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers distress oxide inks. I then used the Pinstripe Stencil create a fun background. 

For the bouquet, I used a square piece of cream cardstock. I then folded it using the Kite fold like shown in the diagram but just make sure that the edges overlap instead of meeting at the center. Fold two flaps at the top and you are done! 

Then, I filled the bouquet with some stamped and colored Spring Flowers and added a sentiment from Celebration Scripts to finish off my card.

Wasn’t that fun? Love how this turned out! Check back tomorrow for more sneak peeks of the May 16th release!

Happy Crafting, Kavya 

Hi friends, it’s Elaine from Pink Peppermint Cards on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today.  I am absolutely delighted to be back to share a sneak peek at some of the products releasing May 16th. One set may look familiar as it was a free gift earlier this year but now it’ll be available for purchase! 

I started this card with a piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock measuring 6.5” x 4”. I treated the whole panel of cardstock with an antistatic powder tool and used my Misti stamping tool to repeat stamp the pen, pencil and crayon border stamp from the Crafty Days stamp set with Versamark Ink. I used a fine white embossing powder to coat the clear inked panel and then heat set the powder until smooth and glossy. Taking my Distress Ink pad in Worn Lipstick I ink blended on to the panel with a blending brush, ensuring the focus of the color was around the edges and using a lighter hand towards the middle. Once I was happy with the ink blending, I cut the panel down to 5.75” x 3.25”.  The panel was set aside to dry while I worked on the other elements of the card.

I stamped the images from Crafty Critters stamp set with a black dye ink on to copic friendly cardstock. I then used my copic markers to color these super cute images! Here are the colors I used:

Koala: W4, W3, W1, W0, RV02, RV10

Mouse: E44, E43, E42, E41, E40, RV02, RV10

Paint pallet: C3, C1, C00, R27, R24, YR07, YR04, Y17, Y13, G07, G02, B26, B23

Paint brush: E27, E23, E55

Once the coloring was done, I cut out all the images with the Crafty Critters coordinating dies.  

I created a card base for this card by cutting a piece of heavyweight white card 7”x 6” and scored the longest edge at 3.5”, this gave me a 6”x 3.5” side folding cardbase. I popped some foam tape on the back of the embossed ink blended panel and adhered it to the cardbase.  To create a focal point for my little critters I cut the largest frame from the Stitched Photo Frames Die set twice and popped a layer of vellum behind the opening. I used a black pigment ink to stamp the sentiment included in the Crafty Critters stamp set on to each of the frames. I secured the frames to the front of the card with liquid adhesive and then secured the little critters and their accessories on top.

Using a white gel pen I added a few highlights to the colored images and some black glaze gel pen to finish off the nose and eyes. Finally, I added a few pink clay hearts because I can never get enough of clay hearts and I’m calling this card done!

Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope you enjoyed taking a quick sneak at some of the new products releasing this month, these products are perfect for creating some fun projects your crafty pals!

Happy crafting! Elaine xxx

Hello, Gemma here today with a sneak peek of two new stamp sets from the May 16th release – Crafty Days and Crafty Sentiments.

For my first card, I stamped out a border four times from the Crafty Days stamp set. I coloured the images in a rainbow of copic markers, then die cut them with the Crafty Days coordinating die.

On a 5.25” card base, I stamped a greeting from the Crafty Sentiments stamp set. There are lots of great sentiments to choose from in the set.

I adhered the borders to my card base. To add some variation in dimension, I adhered a second die cut layer behind the 1st and 3rd borders. Once adhered to the card base, I trimmed away anything overhanging to finish.

Continuing the rainbow theme on my second card, I used the new Pinstripe stencil with distress oxide inks to add lots of colour to my A2 card base. The colours I chose were Saltwater Taffy, Squeezed Lemonade, Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac and Kitsch Flamingo.

I stamped and coloured two images from the Crafty Days stamp set. The coordinating die set comes with both a square to cut the images out, along with a scalloped square for layering.

On my card, I stamped a greeting from the Crafty Sentiments stamp set. I recommend using Versafine Onyx Black ink as it stamps well over the distress oxide inks.

I then used foam tape to adhere the images over white glitter scalloped squares, before adhering to my card base to finish.

I hope you enjoyed these cards. Join us tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!
