The September 2018 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, Eloise has you covered!
Hi, there, it’s Marge here with you for today. I’m so excited for Pretty Pink Posh’s New September Release since it’s been 3 months since the last release. There are so many amazing products in this release, so be sure to take a closer look at all of them to find your favorite items.
Here’s my card for today. I made a simple watercolor card featuring the Anemones stamp set.
After the panel was dried, I cut it with Scallop Frames Dies with rectangle frames cut two more times out of separate white card stock and glued top-on-top to give the frame some dimension.
I stamped a sentiment from Simple Sayings: Kind on the center using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I then adhered the outer frame onto a pink card base and then I adhered center panel inside the frame. I finished off the card by adding some Ivory Jewels.
Here are some tips for today’s card:
1) Use wet in wet technique in order to do very light watercoloring
2) To express fine line texture of the petals, you can either use a very small waterbrush to draw fine lines or add white pencil details.
3) I love to add a focal image on the opposite corner of the main images to give the panel a balanced look.
4) Combination of pink, violet, and coral never disappoints you when you just don’t know how to start coloring of your flowers.
5) My favorite paper for watercolor card is heavy weight (140lb or 300g), cold pressed one.
That’s it from me for today. I hope you enjoyed today’s post. Happy crafting!
It’s time to reveal the individual products that are part of the September 5th release. First up is JEWELS! Each package includes four sizes (3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm)! This release I wanted to release some colors that have been much requested, but also are perfect for fall (and they also happen to fit in perfect with the other colors we carry).
Based upon the interest from our previous jewels and the sneaks of the new colors, I have created a Fall Jewels Bundle with all 5 new colors. Plus, if you purchase the bundle, you’ll save 10%!
Here’s a look at the seven new stamp sets that will be available for purchase- Anemones, Autumn Wreath, Cuddly Cats, Fall Scene, Halloween Pals, Pumpkin Patch Critters and Simple Sayings: Kind.
Here are the four new individual die sets that will be available: Small Stitched Foliage, Thankful For You Script,Thanks Leaf Shaker and Fall Tags.
I have a limited amount of bundles available where you can buy the whole collection in one easy click. As usual, you’ll save 10% if you purchase this complete bundle. We will see you tomorrow as we show you the new products in a video, the individual products go live in the shop and we’ll have a card sharing some of the new products!
Jeanne here today and I can’t tell you how excited I am to share the Pretty Pink Posh new release dies with you! You’re going to FALL in love them all! Paulina’s got a little something for everyone! Do you love bling and sequins? Then the Thanks Leaf Shaker die is for you. Of course it’s ideal for shakers full of shiny sequins but you’ll find lots of great ways to use this pretty maple leaf die.
If you say “fall” I say “color”! And color blocking is one of my favorite techniques. No one makes this technique easier than Pretty Pink Posh. The unique Stacked Edges stitched border dies fit together perfectly so you can add lots of layers without a lot of thickness. To save time I cut three different borders at a time so I have several to use on other projects. I adhere the borders together on their reverse side and then cut them into a panel for the cover of my card.
The new Thankful For You Script die is a great way to add a sentiment to any project. I love the loopy letters of the hand written font. This color block panel was created with die cut squares from the Storybook 3 and stitched strips from Stitched Borders 3.
The squares are topped with die cut leaves and pumpkin from the new Small Stitched Foliage.
As the weather turns cooler baking season will begin again for me. I can always use a pretty tag to dress up a loaf up pumpkin bread or a bag of cookies. I created panels of colorful chevrons using the Stacked Edges 2 and die cut them with the Stitched Duo 1 Tag.
I embellished the tags with die cut Fall Tags and Small Stitched Foliage (in case you’re wondering yes.. they can be stacked on top of each other) cut from white card stock.
The “thanks” sentiment is cut from the Thanks Leaf Shaker and yes, there are new colorful jewels this release too! I used the new Midnight Black, Raspberry, Blue Lagoon Jewels to add the perfect finishing touch to these tags today.
A big thank you to YOU for joining me today! Be sure to join us tomorrow for the reveal of the release and a chance to buy the bundle of all the new release items a day early at a discount!
Hi Everyone! It’s Melody here with you today and I am excited to give you a sneak peek of the new Halloween Pals Stamp Set and Halloween Pals Coordinating Dies that release on September 5th.
As we head into Fall and the holiday season I am always just a little extra excited to create projects at this time of year. Halloween is always fun and the Halloween Pals stamp set is so cute!
I stamped the images in black ink, colored with Copic Markers, and die cut with the Halloween Pals coordinating dies. To add detail to the scene I die cut a fence with the Picket Fence Die and the grass with the Scallop Border Dies.
To create the background I cut a piece of watercolor paper for the card front. I die cut a circle to add the moon with a the circle die in the Summer Friends stamp set. Then I stamped the stars and sentiment included in the Halloween Pals Stamp Set in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. To create the night sky I used Distress Inks in Dried Marigold, Seedless Preserves, and Chipped Sapphire.
Here is a look at the back of the paper where I used form tape to create a small shaker for the moon. I dropped in confetti from the Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix and the a few of the new Marigold Jewels.
I added the grass and fence to the scene and determined where I wanted the stamped images to be placed. I added a few more of the new Marigold Jewels to the night sky to add a little sparkle.
I attached the scene I built to a black card base. I think this sweet scene will make someone special smile this Halloween!
I hope I inspired you to start creating for the holiday season! Be sure to stop by tomorrow for a look at the new die cuts coming soon- they’re super fun!
Hello everyone, Alix here sharing products from the new upcoming September 5th release. Today I’m highlighting the Cuddly Cats and Autumn Wreath stamp sets.
To begin with my card, I first stamped the images from the Cuddly Cats on a piece of Bristol paper and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. Then I cut them with the Cuddly Cats coordinating dies.
I wanted to create a scene showing all the cat favorites. I did my magic to fit them all onto an A2 sized card panel. For my inked background, I ink blended my background for the front panel using distress ink oxide in Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick, and for the shaker window in Cracked Pistachio with Mermaid Lagoon. I mixed Spiced Marmalade oxide ink with water and splatter onto the upper portion of the background.
To create the shaker window, I cut the window using Stitched Diamonds Die from a piece of watercolor paper. I stamped sentiment onto a piece of acetate paper using VersaMark ink and heat embossed it. I then adhered the acetate paper right underneath the front panel. I poured 4mm Sparkling Clear Sequins,4mm Shamrock Sequins, Jewels in Shamrockand colored fish images, then closed the window with foam tape.
I glued all colored images around the window and embellished surroundings with Jewels in Pink Blushand Marigold (one of five new colors coming in this release!).
Now let’s shift the gear to another awesome stamp set – Autumn Wreath. This time I decided to do a simpler card with a gorgeous color combo. I colored selected images from the Autumn Wreath stamp set with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens and die cut them using the Autumn Wreath coordinating dies.
I cut card panel from a piece of blue cardstock and attached colored images. Then I splattered diluted white watercolor paint onto the background by tapping on watercolor brush handle. I cut a piece of vellum paper in smaller rectangle shape and glued it onto the background using Multi Medium Matte since it dries clear with matte finish. I die cut top sentiment using Thankful For You Script Die and adhere it on top of vellum paper. At last, I embellished the card choosing 4mm Clear Droplets
My third card combines both featured stamp sets. Since all images from the Cuddly Cats and Autumn Wreath were colored already, it was very easy to put together. I first ink smudged the background on a piece of watercolor paper using water diluted Tim Holtz Distress oxide ink in Broken China. Then I popped the wreath off the center to the left side usingdouble sided foam squares to create some dimension.
I created more dimension by adding these foliage images on one and another on the bottom of the wreath. I added this cute gray kitty in the center as focal point. I stamped sentiment inside of wreath and embellished background with Sequins in 4mm Sparkling Clearand 6mm Sparkling Clear.
I hope that I tickled your heart a little by showing these upcoming goodies. Stay tuned for more sneak peeks in the next few days!
Hello everyone, Joni here sharing a sneak peek of the new Anemones stamp set and Anemones coordinating dies. There are so many possibilities with this stamp that I’m sure you are going to love. This stamp set, along with the other new products, release on September 5th.
First I stamped the images on a white cardstock and then colored the images with Copic markers and then die-cut with its coordinating dies.
For the background of my card I distressed the background using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink pads in Black Soot, Frayed Burlap, and Cracked Pistachio. Then, splattered it with water then let it dry.
Here’s another look of this card. The sentiment I used “kindness matters” is from the new release as well called Simple Sayings: Kindstamp set. I also added new jewels in the color Raspberry.
For my second card I used a more subtle color scheme.
I first gold heat embossed the flower image on the set and then water colored using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush in Bright Yellow and Dark Gray.Then, die-cut “thankful” from the new die-cut Thankful For You Script.
I also added some new Espresso Jewels to add a little sparkle.
I hope you enjoyed! Be sure to keep visiting the blog (and our social media) for more sneak peeks at the upcoming September 5th release. You’re going to love what we have in store.
Hi, Friends! This is Caly and I’m thrilled to be sharing two sneak peaks with you today using the new Pumpkin Patch Critters stamp and die set and the Fall Scene stamp set from the September 5th Release! Fall is one of my favorite times of the year – the weather is nice (albeit, for only a few short weeks), the kids are back in school, and everything in nature becomes so colorful!
My first card features the Pumpkin Patch Critters set. I wanted to color all the pumpkins in this stamp set different colors – like what you would see at a real pumpkin patch. I actually really love non-orange pumpkins (especially white ones)! I first stamped the images using a Copic-friendly ink. I used Momento Tuxedo Black ink and my trusty MISTI tool to ensure the images are scripted before coloring.
The following Copic colors were used: T0, T2 (mouse); W00, W1 (bunny); G21, G2 (green pumpkin), R20 (blush for critters); Y13, Y15, Y17, YR14, R05 (orange/red pumpkins); E50, E42, E43, E55, E57 (pumpkin stems and squirrel). Once done coloring, I die cut my images and then add white gel accents to each image (quick tip: doing it before die-cutting risks the gel lines getting scratched or becoming dull).
I set the images aside and began creating the card front. I ink blended a panel using Bundled Sage and Old Paper Distress Oxide inks and used the new Thanks Leaf Shaker die to cut out the maple leaf center. Then I used Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide ink to ink-blend a different panel for the ground and added some color to the Thanks Leaf Shaker die-cut piece. I used the Scallop Borders 1 die and cut a small hill using the Gathered Twigs panel I ink-blended for the critters and pumpkins to sit on.
I splattered some water drops on the panel to remove some color and I added acetate to the window and in-laid the Thanks Leaf. I added 3M foam tape underneath this panel to create dimension for the sequins. I also ink-blended the exposed window on the card base with the same green Distress Oxide inks to give the card a more uniform look before adding the Whimsical Forest sequins mix and adhering the top panel to the card base.
Once the shaker was constructed, I arranged my images and adhered them on the card front as desired.
For my second card, I created a one-layer Copic scene. I stamped the image using Momento Tuxedo Black again and colored the images using Copics.
I don’t create full Copic scenes very often, but I was inspired to create one for this cute fall scene. I colored the trees in the front the largest and darkest and when back with lighter colors to give dimension to the scene. Once I was done, I went through and added white gel pen highlights over all the images.
I framed in this colored panel using the Scallop Squares die-cut with white cardstock. The sentiment is from a new stamp set called Autumn Wreath – I love the simple block letters. I then completed the card using new Espresso Jewels. The new Pretty Pink Posh release is full of fun fall inspiration! I hope you enjoyed these projects and I hope it inspires you to create a fun fall scene! Thanks so much for joining me today! Have a fabulous day!
I created a window opening in the background using one of the Scallop Circle dies. For the focal image I used the adorable Koala Friends stamp set, which I colored with Copics. To finish it off I added an embossed sentiment from the Love Sentiments set.
Hi friends, Eloise here today with a new project and video for you all. Today I’m going to be focusing on using some of my hoarded sequins for a fun rainbow background. I’ll also be pulling in the Darling Dragonflies stamp set as well as the Storybook 1 Dies for a little added interest.
To start off I took a piece of white cardstock and cut the Storybook 1 Dies from the top centre of the panel, I set that off to the side then I took another piece of white cardstock and used some 1/8” Scor Tape to create a full adhesive background. I then pulled out various colours of sequins from my stash and started in rainbow order. I like starting my rainbows at yellow and finishing in green, I don’t know why it’s just my preferred method sometimes. I used various sizes for my background and just mixed and matched as I went. To measure how far I needed to go along and down I placed my already die cut panel over top and went from there. In the end I needed 19 rows of sequins. If you don’t have as many colours as that though, either repeat the patterned again or use two rows of the same colour at a time.
Now that my background was complete, I added foam tape around the sequin background. Then before adhering my front panel over top, I used the Simple Sayings: Miss You stamp set and stamped the simple ‘Miss You’ in black ink at the bottom. I adhered my panel over top and moved onto my stamping.
I stamped out my Dragonflies onto some white cardstock and coloured them in simply with Copic Markers. I used muted colours so they wouldn’t compete with the background. I added foam tape onto the back and adhered them over my sequin background. To finish off my card, I just adhered the entire panel to a card base and that completed my card.
Hello, it’s Gemma. Today I’m sharing a Darling Dragonflies card with some fun embossing techniques. Dry embossing is a great way of adding texture to a card design. On this card I’ve combined it with the stamped dragonfly images, heat embossed in white. On white card, this adds subtle detail to a background.
I began by stamping the images on white card with Versamark ink, then heat embossing them with white embossing powder. I then used the coordinating dies to add a dry embossed detail around each of the stamped images. I used a tan embossing mat for this, so rather than cutting out the images, the dies just leave an embossed impression.
I cut down the panel with rectangle die from the Stitched Notes die set, then set it aside to work on the other elements. On a white card base, I added a blend of distress oxide inks in salty ocean and tumbled glass, flicking it with water for lots of detail. I adhered the embossed panel on top with liquid glue.
Next, I stamped and coloured the Darling Dragonflies with blue copic markers. I used B000, B00, B02 and B05. I die cut them with the coordinating dies and then used an embossing pen to add sticky ink to the wings. I covered the wings with clear sparkle embossing powder and heat set them. It’s tricky to capture the beautiful effect in a photo but it’s super sparkly in real life.
I stamped a sentiment on white card from the Everyday Greetings stamp set and cut it into a banner. I layered some patterned paper behind, then adhered it to my card base with foam tape. I added the dragonflies to the card with foam tape too, then finished with some metallic silver jewels for extra sparkle.
I hope you’ll give this embossing technique a try. I think it’s a really elegant look, perfect for added interest and subtle enough to add colourful images over the top.
