Valentine Theme Week- Day 2

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card for Valentines, using some new and older released Pretty Pink Posh products.

Save 15% off items in the Valentine section during our Valentine Theme Week!

I love the paper cut look of the new With Love Shaker die, so decided to make this the focus of my card. I die cut it from white card 3 times and adhered them together. I then die cut it once from white glitter card and added it on top for a lovely dimensional die cut.

On my card base, I layered a piece of pink patterned paper. Next, I cut a piece of grey gingham paper and die cut the With Love Shaker die from the centre. I adhered the grey paper on top of my card, then added the dimensional With Love Shaker stacked die cut in the gap.

The Hummingbird Thanks images are the perfect accompaniment to this new die. I stamped out two hummingbirds and coloured them with the following copic markers: G12, G14, G17, RV00, RV52, and RV55.

I die cut the hummingbirds with the coordinating dies, then used foam tape to adhere them to my card. For a pretty finishing touch, I added some Shamrock, Pink Blush and Watermelon jewels to the stacked die cut, matching the colours of the hummingbirds.

  

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed this Valentine’s Day card! Join us tomorrow for another day of inspiration!

Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

Hello everyone, it’s Mayra here with you today! This week we will be sharing Valentine themed projects with you. I created a fun set of non-traditional Valentine cards using the adorable Bunny Friends stamp set. This set also has the coordinating dies here.

If you don’t own any of these sets yet you’re in luck! Pretty Pink Posh has 15% off items in the Valentine section!

I LOVE the brand new Scallop Hearts dies and knew they would be perfect for this theme. The idea for my card began with the largest heart which I thought it would be perfect for creating a mini scene.

To get ideas for what I would be creating I started by looking through my PPP sequins. I went through my stamps and chose the images I would be using to create the scene inside the heart.

The wood stump, mushrooms, and tulip are from the Woodland Critters set the dies are also available here.

I then colored the images using Copic markers.

For the bunnies, I used E40, E41, E55, E43.

For all of the orange areas, I used YR09, YR18, YR15, and YR12.

For the greens, I used YG01 and YG17.

Next, I used the Stitched Borders 1 and Stitched Borders 2 to create the clouds and grassy hill. I applied Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink to the hill and Tumbled Glass to the cloud border.

I also used the smaller scalloped heart to create a mini shaker for the mini Valentine card set. The sentiments are from the Cupcake Critters and Floral Hearts sets.

I hope you enjoy the projects I created to share with you today and feel inspired to create. Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by!

Creating A Birthday Shaker + Video

Hi everyone it’s Ardyth and today is my very first time on the Pretty Pink Posh blog and YouTube channel! I have a video tutorial to share using the new Pinata Party set.

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

I used the Pinata Party set to make a fun shaker card with a special feature! The Pinata is hanging on some twine, so he can swing inside the shaker among all the fun jewels and sequins!

I started by stamping the background – I used one the Let’s Party sentiments from the set and created a grid by stamping it, turning the stamp and then stamping again. I added some colourful stamped confetti to the background, so that when all the jewels and sequins settle, there are still bright happy colours all over the card!

I built my shaker frame with 6 layers of the large Scallop Square die cut. This seemed to work fine, but I still think that next time, I’ll use 7 to give my shaker fillers a bit more room. I put acetate behind the top layer of the shaker frame, and I glued the silver twine to the second layer of the frame, so that the pinata could swing from that. I used some anti-static powder on the acetate so he could swing freely without getting stuck on the acetate.

Then I used some of the new Party Mix jewels and Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix as my shaker filler. I stamped another sentiment and some confetti on the inside of the card as well. I love how it looks like the pinata has already exploded, and the party is ready to start!

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

Crocus Flowers Shaker

Hey there everyone, it’s Lindsay! I’m sure you all are really enjoying the new release! I’m loving all the birthday and celebration themed items since I’m always running low on birthday cards. For today’s card, I paired the Crocus Flowers stamp set and coordinating die set with the Celebrate Shaker Die to make a festive shaker card.

I started with coloring in the images from the Crocus Flowers stamp set with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and blending out the color with a waterbrush.  After die cutting the flowers, I got to making the shaker.

I wanted the shaker element to be an embellishment on its own and really pop. So I started with cutting out 3 of the Celebrate Shaker Die pieces and gluing them together. I then added an acetate sheet behind all 3 layers of the Celebrate Shaker Die. To that, I put foam tape around all the edges of the shaker piece and added in lots of confetti from the Sugar Plum Confetti Mix. I then cut out a rectangle piece just perfect to fit behind the shaker die and adhered that to the foam tape.

I then had my Celebrate Shaker all ready to go. I played with the layout for a while, finally deciding the background needed some ink blending. I added a bit of Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Ink to the background to make the shaker really pop. I arranged my flowers from the Crocus Flowers stamp set all around the shaker, added a sentiment from Cupcake Critters stamp set and finished it all off with some Sugar Plum Jewels.

Hope you all have a great day!

Lindsay

5th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop- Day 3

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE //  If you missed Day 2 CLICK HERE

Hi friends, Angelica here and today I’m sharing a fun shaker card using new products from the Pretty Pink Posh January release. I am so in love with the new Cupcake Critters stamp set, and the images pair perfectly with the new Celebrate Shaker die.

My first step was coloring the cupcake critter. I stamped the image onto white card stock with Copic-friendly ink. I then colored the image with Copic Markers. I started with the bunny:  W5, W3, W1, W00, R00. For the frosting, I used V00, V01, V12, V15. I colored the frosting with V00, did a little shading with V01, then did little dots of colors to finish the rest of shading, and to add texture. For the wrapper, I used Y21, Y23, Y26, Colorless Blender, and V91 for the drop-shade under the frosting. Lastly, the cherry I colored with R24, R27, R29, and R59. I used each marker to draw a line, leaving white space around the stem.

My next step was inking the card front. I used Scattered Straw and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks to blend onto Neenah Solar White 80 lb card stock. I started at the top with the Scattered Straw, blending ink down towards the middle of the card front. I blended the same with the Wilted Violet, blending the ink up towards the middle. I didn’t want the inks touching too much. When I was finished, I tapped shimmer water all over the paper. I let the water sit for about 15 seconds, then dabbed the water up with a paper towel. This left shimmery drops all over paper.

To make the shaker element, I ran the card front through my die-cut machine with the Celebrate Shaker die. I then closed the window from the backside with a piece of acetate and 1/8 inch Scor Tape. I die-cut Celebrate again out of white card stock that I had added Stick It Adhesive to on the backside. This made it really easy to attach the die cut to the front of the shaker window. I flipped the card front around to the backside and added Darice Double-sided Adhesive Strips to all four sides of the window. I filled the window with Sugar Plum Jewels and Sugar Plum Confetti, then closed the window with another piece of acetate. I added foam tape to the rest of the back and attached the card front to an A2 size card base. I used thin adhesive squares to add the Cupcake Critter, then used W3 and W1 Copic markers to draw a quick shadow under the cupcake. My final touch was adding a few Sugar Plum Jewels using Ranger Multi Media Matte.

5th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop- Day 2

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the Pretty Pink Posh 5th birthday celebration! If you missed Day 1, click here.

Gemma here and today I’m sharing a card using the new Pinata Party stamp set. I absolutely love this set!! The images are so much fun and the sentiments are perfect!

I began by working on the background. I stamped the solid pennant image with dye inks, choosing colours to match the new Party Jewels Mix. I stamped two per colour, die cut them out with the Pinata Party coordinating die, then used foam tape to create vertical borders on both edges of my card base.

I measured the gap in between the borders and cut a piece of white card to fit the gap. I used one of the Scallop Borders dies to add a decorative edge to each side. I then stamped a greeting from the Pinata Party stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Next, I stamped and copic coloured the unicorn pinata image and die cut it with the coordinating die. I used a clear glitter pen all over it for lots of sparkle.

I cut a piece of gold thread to add to the back of the pinata, then used foam tape to add the unicorn to the white card panel. I tucked the end of the gold thread behind the panel, then added it to the card base with lots of foam tape.

Using the same ink colours as I used for the pennant images, I stamped some confetti images around the unicorn. I then finished with some jewels from the new Party Jewels Mix, adding them around the unicorn and also to the center of the pennants.

5th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop- Day 1

Hi everyone, it’s Marge here and I’m so happy to share my card featuring the brand new January Release with you. I made a window scene card using Decorative Tag 2 Dies from the New Release.

To begin, I die cut Decorative Tag 2 Dies out of Neenah White and red card stock. Next, I stamped Bold Blooms stamp set on white paper using Distress Ink Antique Linen, colored the images using copic markers and diecut them all using Bold Blooms Coordinating Dies.

I used Stitched Borders 1 Dies to make a roof and a wall for my tag. Then I scored down vertically along wavy borders on each die cut to give patterns to the walls.

I cut another window using Mini Storybook 1 Dies out of pastel pink pattern paper which will be main background for my tag and then I assembled those pieces using foam adhesives. Next, I added floral images around the Decorative Tag 2 using Micro Glue Dots. Sentiment was chosen from Floral Hearts stamp set and was heat embossed in white on red card stock. Now, what would expect to see inside the door?

When you open this window, you can see a bunny holding a sweet cupcake. I stamped the image from the Cupcake Critters stamp set and did no-line coloring and then cut it using the Cupcake Critters coordinating dies.

Lastly, here are copic marker numbers I used. Leaves (G29-G28-G07-YG03 ), Purple (BV08-V17-V15-V12), Red (R59-R46-R43-R20), Orange (YR07-YR04-Y38), Yellow (Y38-Y17-Y15), Bunny (E13-E11-E00-E000), Cupcake (E18-E15-E13, BG18-BG15-BG13, R46-R43-R20)

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

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card using the beautiful new floral set, Crocus Flowers, which is part of the January release. I love crocuses and the images in this set are just perfect for colouring.

I began by stamping the images on white card, then colouring them with my copic markers. I used V17, V15, and V12, with some YR15 for the centres. For the leaves, I used G17, G14 and G12. I then die cut them with the coordinating dies.

From a piece of white card, I die cut the Stitched Pieces die. I placed it so it die cut off centre, towards the bottom right side. On my card base, I added some colour with milled lavender and seedless preserves distress oxide inks, concentrating the colour at the bottom and fading towards the top. I then adhered the white panel over the top.

Next, I tucked in the Crocus Flower images to the windows on the panel, popping some of the images up with foam squares. To keep the focus on the flowers, I stamped a small sentiment from the new Floral Hearts stamp set with black ink, following the vertical edge of the top stitched window.

To finish, I adhered some jewels from the Sugar Plum Mix around the card.
