Stencil Theme Week- Day 1

Hello crafty friends! It’s Yoonsun here today for a couple of Christmas cards using the Leaves & Berries stencil along with other PPP Christmas products.

Save 15% on all individual stencils this week!

I started by creating watercolored Christmas patterns with the Leaves & Berries stencil. I placed the stencil in place onto watercolor paper panel, applied red & green Distress inks over the stencil using blender brush. I then added clean water onto berries & leaves using water brush for watercolor painting effect.

Next, I die cut the Stitched Poinsettias from watercolor paper, applied Distress inks, and then assembled them using foam tape. For the sentiment, I stamped it from the Joy set on white cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black, trimmed it down as a sentiment banner.

To top and bottom part of the card, I decorated it with the Scallop Borders 1 to make it a little more feminine.

For my second card with the Leaves & Berries stencil, I made a white on kraft card. I placed the stencil onto kraft card base, applied white embossing paste.

I die cut the Tree Shaker from watercolor paper, inked it with Walnut Stain Distress ink. I die cut berry & leaves from a separate watercolor paper using the Festive Holly dies, and then applied red & green Distress inks as well.

I adhered sentiment tree & Christmas berry on the centre of the card using foam tape. I embellished with a few 3mm Sparkling Clear sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Join us tomorrow for another day of stencil inspiration!

Hugs, Yoonsun

Whimsical Winter Wreath

Hi crafty friends, Alix here sharing inspiration using some products from our newest release. They are adorable and very easy to work with them.

To start with my card, I stamped the images from Winter Wreath stamp set and Holiday Signs stamp set onto a piece of Neenah solar white 80 lbs card stock paper with Memento Black ink and die cut with their coordinating dies. Then I colored them with my trusty copic markers. At this point, I tried to keep my color in different shades of red and green for the traditional holiday look.

It is very easy to prepare the background as well. I splattered gold watercolor paint over a piece of watercolor paper that’s 4.24′ by 5.25″ by tapping the paint brush. Once its dry, I adhere it onto an A2 sized red card stock paper so it created the skinny red stripes for top and bottom of my background.

At last, I attached my colored images on to the background using Multi Medium Matte and foam tape to finish my today’s card.

I hope that I brought you some holiday inspiration. Happy card making!

My Life

Pretty Pink Posh is Growing!

Many of you have been following me since I was a blogger, long before I started Pretty Pink Posh. However, I know that since starting my business, there are also LOTS of new readers as well.

Before I started selling stamps, dies, sequins and stencils, I was a crafter and blogger. It was my therapy and outlet after my car accident. In those older posts, I shared bits and pieces of my personal life at a very raw place in my life. I cannot tell you how therapeutic it was to both craft and blog during those times. Getting to interact with my readers, share my heart and then starting my business because of my circumstances has been something that I do not take for grated and I am so amazed and blessed by how much has changed since then.

There were many posts about the struggle of the accident and then also coming to terms that I most likely wouldn’t get married or have a family because it would take a special someone to understand and “put up” with my circumstances. Well, a LOT has changed since then….

It’s been over two years since I have done a personal post and little did I know that a mere six weeks after writing that last personal post, my life would change. I won’t get into all the details now but I started dating someone back in October 2017 and let’s just say he has changed my life.

Earlier this year, we got married and now we are expecting a new addition to the Pretty Pink Posh family in Spring 2020! I couldn’t not share this part of my life since so many of you have been following my journey for so long. It’s definitely an exciting time, but also very scary since this is our first child and we have no idea what we are getting ourselves into!

Side note: now I’m inspired to create both wedding and baby products!

It’s rare that I’ll share a personal post on here these days, since I know you come here for craft posts and updates on the shop. However, I also know that I wouldn’t be here without sharing bits and pieces of my journey and wanted to share this big update. Plus, for those new to the blog, you get to see a picture of what I look like (now with a baby bump)!

In closing, I want to say I am so incredibly grateful for each one of you- both new and old readers/ customers/ followers. It is because of you that Pretty Pink Posh is where it is today and your kind, sweet and encouraging words keeps me motivated to create new products for you. ♥

Watercolor Sunflowers

Hi, everyone! It’s Marge for you today. I’m going to share a watercolor sunflower card featuring the beautiful Sunflowers stamp set.

I started by stamping Sunflowers on watercolor paper using Distress Ink Tea Dye. I then colored the blossoms and leaves with my watercolor paints. I cut them all using Sunflowers Coordinating Dies, splattered with white acrylic ink and set them aside.

Next, I made a partially stenciled background using the new Wafers Stencil and light brown inks. Then I splattered with dark and red metallic ink over the panel.

In turn, I adhered Sunflowers onto the stencil background using Glue Dots and Square Foam Adhesives, then I rounded natural twine several times around the lower part of the panel. The sentiment from Fall Signs stamp set was heat embossed in white on red cardstock and was adhered over the twine.

Once again, I splatted with some metallic inks all over the scene, adhered Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix around the flowers and then I finished off my card.

That’s it from me for today. Thank you so much for reading this post. Have a wonderful day!

October Product Release Blog Hop- Day 2

Check out Day 1 of the blog hop HERE

Hi friends, Eloise here and today I’ll be making some gift tag cards for you all using the new Holiday Signs Stamp Set. I love creating tags around the holiday season, and these little critters holding cute signs I thought would be the perfect size for them.

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

I started off with stamping out four of the images from Holiday Signs onto white cardstock. I coloured them in with Copic Markers, added white gel pen details to them and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I also cut out additional die cuts for the backs of my tags.

Copic Markers Used: YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / YG01, YG03, YG23, YG17 / BG10, BG11, BG13, BG49 / B0000, B000 / R14, R24, R27, R89 / R000, R00, R20 / E000, E00, E21, E02 / W3, W5, W7, W9 / E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E47, E49 / W00, W0 / 0

I then stamped four different sentiments onto each of the images, since we have so many to choose from. I then scored the tops of each of the blank die cuts, added 1/8” adhesive to the tops and adhered the coloured images on the top. This created an area to write a message on the inside.

I punched small holes into the tops of each of the tags, threaded through some coloured twine and then tied a small bow at the tops of them, with hemp cord.

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. We are giving away 4 $25 gift certificates to four random comments (2 winners each day) left before October 22, 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!

October Product Release Blog Hop- Day 1

Hi, everyone! It’s Marge here for you and I’m sharing two Christmas cards with clean designs that feature some of the new October Release from Pretty Pink Posh.

For my first card, I heat embossed Winter Wreath in gold on watercolor paper, then I colored in the wreath using Zig Clean Brush Markers. Next, I die cut the wreath using the Winter Wreath Coordinating Dies.

I decided to make the wreath into a shaker, so I adhered a piece of acetate film on the back of the wreath and put Double Sided Foam Squares and Double Sided Foam Strips on it.Next, I prepared a white card base, place my wreath on it to check where I would put sequins, then I stamped a sentiment from the Winter Wreath set on the bottom, and placed shaker elements on it as shown in the picture below.

Then, I adhered the wreath onto the card base with caution and finished assembling the shaker. I put the brand new Celebration Confetti Mix together with Sparkling Clear Snowflakes, Snowflake Sequins Mix, Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads, and Autumn Seed Beads into the shaker.

As a final embellishment, I added a yellow baker’s twine and Sparkling Clear Snowflakes with 3mm Clear Sparkling Sequins on each snowflake.

My second card is very similar to the first one in design concept. This time, I heat embossed the JOY stamp set using rose gold embossing powder for a softer look. I colored them and cut them all using JOY coordinating dies.

Do you see the letter “O” was made into a shaker? I used the same technique as in my first card and I put Metallic Rose Gold Confetti Mix together with Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads here.

The sentiment from the same JOY set was also heat embossed in white on a piece of deep red cardstock and was foam mounted on the bottom of the card base. In turn, I added Sparkling Clear Snowflakes and red twin and finished off my card.

Hello Pretty Pink Posh blog readers! Lindsay here with you today with a fun way to use smaller images from stamp sets that can sometimes be forgotten. I’m highlighting the Joy Stamp Set from the latest release.

Pretty Pink Posh: October 2019 Release Now Available

I like to use the Gina K Wreath Builder Stencil for even stamping with smaller images. For this card I used the 4” template and a piece of white cardstock to start. I started stamping my images with Momento Tuxedo Black ink. In order to fit the maximum amount of images I rotated the paper an extra turn each time in order to stamp each image 4 times rather than 8.

After creating my patterned background using all of the cute smaller images from Joy Stamp Set I got to copic coloring. After finishing my coloring I felt that the background needed a bit more excitement, so I took the small stars from the Joy Stamp Set and stamped with various ink colors to match my copic coloring.

Now that my background was complete, I cut a piece of vellum out from the Stitched Diamond Dies as a spot for my sentiment. I gold heat embossed the long sentiment from the Joy Stamp Set onto black cardstock and then cut up the sentiment in order to layer it vertically.

After adhering all of the vellum and sentiment pieces, I added some Nuvo Crystal Drops for a bit of dimension and called it a day!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you pull out your wreath builder and get to making some patterned background with your smaller stamps!
