Tutorial: How to Make An Inlaid Shaker

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a video sharing how to make the peacocks feathers from the Peacock Friends into a mini shaker. This is quite a long process, but the end look is super fun!

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

To begin, I stamped out my images from Peacock Friends and coloured them all in with Copic Markers. I then die cut them all out using the coordinating dies.

Copic Markers Used: YG01, YG03, YG07, YG09 / BG10, BG11, BG13, BG49 / B32, B24, B26, B39 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19

Once they’re all die cut out, I took the peacock image and used an exacto knife plus some detail cutting scissors to cut around each of the feathers. I made sure to leave the white border intact as well. Once I’ve cut around all the feathers, I made sure to keep the detail areas in case I needed them later.

Next, I took my Mini MISTI stamping tool, Staz On Ink and some acetate and stamped another of the same peacock image on it. I didn’t die cut this out, I left it on a larger piece of acetate until I needed to cut it down later. I added adhesive to the coloured peacock and adhered it over the acetate stamped one.

I then took another piece of white cardstock and cut the coordinating peacock die in the middle. I then added adhesive to the backs of the single feathers and adhered them at the top left and bottom right of my panel. I also stamped the ‘You Are Special’ sentiment onto the bottom of the card with black ink as well. I flipped over the panel, added adhesive around the die cut peacock and adhered the acetate piece into place. I cut off the excess and added foam tape all along the back.

I then pulled out some Navy Cardstock and cut it down to a card base. I then pulled some Mermaid Mix and Spring Meadow Mix Sequins since they matched the colours I used well and added them into the centre of the card base, took of the backers from the foam tape and adhered the panel into place.

That finished up my card for today, I hope you enjoyed, and I’ll see you next time

Tutorial: Heat Embossed Spring Card

Hi everyone it’s Ardyth and and I’m back with a pretty, spring card today on the Pretty Pink Posh blog and YouTube channel!

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

I used the Darling Dragonflies set. I love how cute these guys are with their happy smiley faces. I wanted a more elegant look, though, so after I stamped them, I filled in their heads and bodies using a Versamark marker before heat embossing them with a sparkly embossing glitter.

I added some ‘iridescent’ colour to the dragonflies’ wings with pale pink and blue Copic markers, flicked in each wing, close to the body. I created a lovely spring background with some simple ink blending – blue for the sky and spring green for the ground. And then I added some ‘grass’ by using the leaves from Crocus Flowers, pale grey ink and a green Copic marker.

I trimmed the panel with the stitched rectangle die from Stitched Notes and then I stamped the sentiment from Simple Sayings: Courage, using a grey ink, rather than black. I felt that black would be too harsh against my soft spring scene. I popped the panel up on a plain white card base.

As a finishing touch, I added a few Sparkling Clear Jewels.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed the card and video.

Watercolor Easter Eggs

Hello friends, Angelica here with a card showcasing the new Easter eggs stamp set and Easter Eggs coordinating die.

I stamped the eggs onto Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper with embossing ink. I then heat embossed using gold embossing powder. I used Zig Clean Color watercolor brushes to color the eggs. I pulled random colors and added color to the edges, then used a #4 round watercolor brush and clean water to move the color. I used the coordinating die to cut the eggs out when I was finished.

To assemble the card, I cut a panel of white card stock and blended Broken China Distress Oxide ink onto it. Then I splatter shimmer water onto the panel, let it sit for a few seconds, then dabbed the water up with a paper towel. While the panel was drying, I used the curved scallop die from the Scallop Borders Die Set to die cut plaid pattern paper and green card stock. I glued the papers together, and added a strip of foam adhesive to the backside bottom. I added thin adhesive squares to the backs of the eggs. I stamped and heat embossed Happy Easter on the panel after it was dry, then trimmed it to 4 x 5.25. I added it to an A2 size card base, then added the border and eggs. To finish the card, I trimmed the outside eggs to fit the card base.

Thanks for stopping by! We hope you were inspired by today’s post!

Peacock w/ Copic Markers

Hi everyone, Lindsay here today! I’m showcasing the Peacock Friends stamp set and coordinating die set from the new release. I’d say it’s one of my favorites but really the whole release is my favorite! I can’t pick!

For today’s card, I started off with making the background. I used a piece of kraft cardstock and white heat embossed the flowy feathers from the Peacock Friends stamp set. I love these feathers so much and have actually used them on other cards all by themselves as the central image. I then used the Window Frame Die to cut out a window for my main peacock image.

I decided that the background of the window needed more of a pop so I used some Distress Oxide Inks and a stencil to create a background designed to look like the sky. I popped up the kraft background on foam tape and adhered it to my card base. I also adhered the sky window background, but without any dimension.

I then got to coloring my image from Peacock Friends stamp set using copic markers. Once die cut, I adhered the peacock to the window aspect of the card, also using foam tape. I then white heat embossed a sentiment from the Peacock Friends stamp set onto black cardstock and cut the ends to look like a banner.

Finally, I finished it all off with some sequins and a glitter pen! Hope you enjoyed today’s card and had fun over here on the blog! Have a great day!

March Product Release Blog Hop- Day 2

Check out Day 1 of the blog hop HERE

Hello friends! It is Dana here today for Day 2 of our blog hop featuring the new release. This release is amazing…full of gorgeous stamps, dies, and of course, embellishments!

Today, I am using the Spring Wreath Stamp Set along with the Spring Wreath Coordinating Die. I started my card by stamping my wreath image with a watercolor friendly ink. I then used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens to watercolor all of my spring flowers. Once this was dry, I used the coordinating die to die cut my wreath.

Next, I began working on my card panel. I used a piece of white cardstock for my card front. I die cut the scallop border with the Scallop Borders Die Set.  I then attached this to a piece of plaid patterned paper.

To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment (also included in the Spring Wreath set) in the center of my white cardstock. Lastly, I attached my wreath with foam adhesive to my card front.

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. I’m giving away 4 $25 gift certificates to four random comments (2 winners each day) left before March 13, 2019 at 11:59 PM PST. I’ll be announcing the winners next week, so be sure to return and see if you are one of the winners!

March Product Release Blog Hop- Day 1

Check out Day 2 of the blog hop HERE

Hi, everyone! It’s Marge for you today and I’m so happy to share a card featuring the New Release products from Pretty Pink Posh.

I started by trimming a piece of heavy weight cold press watercolor paper into A2 size, and then I stamped beautiful Magnolia Flowers using Versafine onyx black ink. I water-colored my images using watercolor brush markers and watercolor paints. I also colored a butterfly from Beautiful Butterflies set and cut it using Beautiful Butterflies Coordinating Dies. Once I finished coloring, I splattered with white and dark ink all over the panel and let them dry. Then, I stamped a sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies set and adhered the butterfly close to flowers using Mini Glue Dots.

To decorate the butterfly, I added some jewels on the wings and body: Metallic Gold Jewels, Watermelon Jewels, and Midnight Black Jewels. Next, I foam mounted the panel onto A2 sized card base and finished off my card by adding some Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix.

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. I’m giving away 4 $25 gift certificates to four random comments (2 winners each day) left before March 13, 2019 at 11:59 PM PST. I’ll be announcing the winners next week, so be sure to return and see if you are one of the winners!

Peacock Friends

Hi there, Suzy here featuring some of the new March release. This Peacock Friends stamp set is just beautiful and I don’t think I’ve seen another peacock stamp set, so fairly original too! I used the two birds, but not the feathers on this card. I also used a set of leaves from the new Spring Wreath set.

I made the background with a SSS Tiny Dots stencil, Texture Paste, and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink – there are directions and details on this blog post about making backgrounds ahead of time (installment 3). I die-cut the bottom section using the Scallops Border 1 die. I used Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron with a Ranger Blending Tool on it.

I stamped the peacocks from the Peacock Friends stamp set using MFT Natural Ink on white cardstock. I colored them in with colored pencils (both Prismacolors and Polychromos). I colored them with one color and then added little lines of several other colors to mimic the look of feathers. I used a black fine tip marker for the eyes.

I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set with clear embossing ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I added some Mermaid Mix sequins around the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today!

March 2019 Release Now Available

The March 2019 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post yesterday, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Ardyth has that for you today!

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube
Hello, Gemma here today to share two cards featuring the new Bold Butterflies die set. I love the detail of these pretty butterflies and they are perfect for creating die cut inlay cards.

I began by creating my rainbow panel. I cut a piece of white card, approx. 3 x 3 1/8 inches. I took some scraps of paper in rainbow colours, cutting thin strips and adhering them with liquid glue to the panel until it was covered.

From this panel, I die cut the smaller of the Bold Butterflies dies, making sure to keep all the pieces. I also die cut the butterfly from plain white card. I adhered the rainbow panel onto my card base, then added the white die cut butterfly within the panel. In the spaces in the butterfly, I adhered the rainbow die cut pieces, filling it in like a puzzle.

The lovely thing about die cut inlay is you can make another card with the extra piece, in this case the rainbow butterfly I die cut from the panel.

For my second inlay card, I followed the same steps but added score lines to my white card panel instead, to match the rainbow stripes on the butterfly. To finish both cards, I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set.

Enjoy browsing the Pretty Pink Posh Shop full of the new products. There will be more inspiration with the new release in a two day blog hop filled later this week. We hope to see you there!
