Next, I started working on my card panel. I began by ink blending Distress Oxide Ink in Tumbled Glass to create my background. I then used the Scallop Frames Die Set to die cut my background and a white frame. I attached this to a sunny yellow cardstock mat before attaching it to my A2 card base.
To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment from the Everyday Greetings Stamp Set in the center of my card. Lastly, I attached my wreath and the fun little bees with foam adhesive to my card front.

Hi there, Gemma here. Pretty Pink Posh recently released a new product, stencils, in their latest release. I love the Wide Stripes stencil and know I will be reaching for it often.
Next, I die cut a stitched rectangle, using a die from the previously released Stitched Notes die set. I stamped the sentiment from the new Father’s Day stamp set onto the panel
I stamped out five of the tie image from the set, coloured them with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating die.
I cut a length of silver thread, securing with tape behind the stitched panel. I then adhered the panel to the card base with foam tape. Finally, I added the ties to the card with foam tape to finish.
I hope you were inspired by this fun Father’s Day card. Thanks for stopping by!
I started by stamping peonies & leaves on watercolor paper using light colored dye ink. I then watercolored all stamped images, die cut them with the Peonies Coordinating Dies.
I die cut the Spring Frame from white card stock, then mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape – it’s tone-on-tone background base.
For the sentiment, I die cut the Love You Script from white card stock. I then added all watercolored peonies & sentiment die cut on the bottom right side of the card front using foam tape. I embellished with some Valentine Jewels Mix.
Here is another card with the Peonies Stamp Set. It is a so simple watercolor card. I stamped peonies & leaves (from the Peonies Set), sentiment (from the Encouraging Greetings Set) on watercolor paper panel using black pigment ink first. I used Post-It Notes for masking.
I then freely watercolored on stamped images! :D

To build my background, I cut my lattice panel by using Lattice Background Die out of a piece of white card stock paper, then I hand cut the center to create a diamond shaped opening. I layered it over a piece of A2 sized card base as a template so I could mark the area with pencil. I removed the lattice die cut and masked the background with washi tape. I ink blended it the unmasked area with TIm Holtz Distress oxide ink in Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed, and stamped the sentiment I chose form Thoughtful Greeting stamp set. I lined up and glued the lattice panel to the card base.

The Geraniums along with the Hugs Shaker makes this card perfect for a number of different occasions.
My first step was to create the checked backgrounds. I cut a piece of white card stock to fit the card front and attached the Wide Stripes Stencil to the paper horizontally across the card front. I used a pale green ink and a ink blending tool to stencil the stripes.
Next I used the stencil again changing the direction so that the stripes run vertically. In two steps I have a cute gingham pattern!
To add the sentiment I cut the Hugs Shaker Die twice, once directly into the card front to cut out the circle from the card front, and again from purple cardstock. Then I inlayed the purple die cut into the front of the card. Behind the circle I added vellum and then yellow cardstock.
I arranged the flowers and leaves around the sentiment. The images are colored with Copic Markers and the accented with a white gel pen. I finished off the card with a scattering of Pearl White Jewels.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to stop by tomorrow for more floral inspiration.
Hi friends, Eloise here and today I have a card to share with you all. I used the Anemones stamp set along with some alcohol inks to make a simple missing you card.
I started off with stamping out the anemones onto some watercolour paper with black ink and clear heat embossed over it. I then used my Mijello Mission Gold Watercolour palette and coloured them in with shades of purple as well as colouring the leaves green. Once they were coloured, I cut them out using the Anemonescoordinating dies and set them off to the side.
Next, I decided to do my striped alcohol ink background. I pulled several shades of blue alcohol inks out and used them to create a striped background. I used a paint brush along with water to help create the stripes today. I went from lightest to darkest down a piece of Yupo paper to create the background. I then dried it with a heat tool.
Lastly, I adhered all my flowers to the centre of the inked panel and then used the Camping Friends stamp set for the ‘Missing You’ sentiment. I white heat embossed it on a strip of black cardstock and adhered it onto my card as well.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you guys enjoyed and I’ll see you next time.
Hi, everyone! Marge here with you for the day 3 of Floral Theme Week featuring the Flourishing Fuchsias stamp set. Today, I’m going to share my Copic coloring of the fuchsias on Distress Oxide ink blended background.
I layered the frame to the bottom panel followed by fuchsias and bees around the frame, then I stamped Thinking of You from Bee Friends stamp set through the frame using my Mini MISTI. I splattered with white and dark pink ink over the panel and let them dry.

Cherry blossoms are the perfect sign that spring has arrived (finally!) and I wanted to recreate their soft pretty colours.
I started by stamping all the Cherry Blossom stamps in the set onto some watercolour cardstock, with embossing ink, before embossing them with Silver Pearl embossing powder. This powder is white, but it also has a beautiful shimmer.
I taped the panel to a board and watercoloured them with some of my ink pads. I used a water brush to fill each flower with water before bringing a small amount of colour to the centre, allowing the water to carry the colour out to the edges, fading out as it travelled. The embossed outlines kept the colour from going too far.
I followed a similar process for the leaves, using a fresh, spring green that I knew would contrast well with the flowers. To add a bit more interest and sophistication, I went back in with a second colour – a more muted lavender for the blossoms and a deeper green for the leaves.
I used the coordinating diesto cut all the flowers and leaves out and then it was time to create my background.
As a cardmaker, I tend to use bold bright colours. Whenever I try to make something soft and pretty, I find myself reaching for something ‘else’ to punch it up a bit. This time I did some ink smooshing on my background, in the same fresh green colour that I had used on the leaves. This increased contrast helped the blossoms pop! I trimmed this panel with the stitched rectangle from Stitched Notes.
For my sentiment, I used the Happy Birthday Script die. I cut it once from white cardstock and then again from the centre of the green ink-smooshed panel. Before inlaying the white sentiment into the panel, I coated it with embossing ink and embossed it with the same Silver Pearl embossing powder that I used for my images, so that everything would tie together. I added the flowers and leaves to the panel, allowing parts to extend over the edge for added interest. I used foam tape to pop up some of the elements, and others were glued directly to the panel.
To finish the card, I glued the panel to an oyster card base. I have some leftover flowers for another card; I will store them in the pocket with the stamp set until I need them.
Thanks for joining us today. Stop by tomorrow for a card using our Flourishing Fuchsias!
Hello, crafty friends! Thi here for a fun blog hop and today I am sharing a BEE-autiful shaker card for World Bee Day and using the adorable Bee Friends stamp set! Pretty Pink Posh is participating today to support bees and raise awareness for the importance of bees. It’s a great cause and we have the perfect stamp set to celebrate these amazing insects!
Let’s start the card making! I first stamped the images from Bee Friends and Spring Wreath with brown ink and colored with Copic markers. I cut these little guys out and set aside to work on my background and shaker elements.
For the front panel, I freehand watercolored some light teal stripes onto watercolor paper and let this dry. After it dried, I die cut a circle and taped acetate to the back of this panel. Next, I used foam tape and built a well for my sequins to go in. For this card, I used Valentine Confetti Mix and filled the entire well. I then backed it with some white card stock. I adhered this panel onto an A2 top-folding card piece and moved on to decorate the front of my card.
I put some foam tape behind the wreath and adhered it over the shaker window. For more dimension, I also put my little bees on with foam tape so it would stand out. Basically, I was trying to make a bee wreath.
For my sentiment, I die cut just “hello” from the Hello Friend Script die three times on white card stock. I glued them together and glued to my card front. I finished this off with two of my little bee images and my card is finished.
