Sneak Peek: Construction Additions

Hi folks, Kavya here with some fun inspiration for the latest release! The new Construction Additions set pairs perfectly with the previously released Construction Trucks set.

New release will be available June 10th

My first card is inspired by blueprints using just a few additional old products that you might already have in your stash. I love how this one turned out! I started off my ink blending the brick wall stencil on soft warm gray cardstock. Then, I die cut blue cardstock out of Stitched Torn Rectangles die to create my ‘blueprint base’. I then stamped a house from Village stamp set using white dye ink and added some architectural markings using a white pencil. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Constructions Additions, Construction Trucks, Helper Vehicles, School Friends and Utility Vehicles to finish off my card.

My next card uses the new Construction Additions stamp set as well. I started off by ink blending blue and yellow ochre cardstock with coordinating dye inks to create my background.

I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Constructions Additions, Construction Trucks, Helper Vehicles, Utility Vehicles and Balloon Alphabet to finish off my card. I made it look like the crane was trying to carry the word ‘hugs’ and I think that looks just adorable! Love how this one turned out 

Hope these projects inspire you! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the June 10th release.

Happy crafting,
Kavya

Dad Box Card

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and it’s time for another box card! This time, we’re going geometric with adorable cats for Father’s Day. I started hot foiling the first part of my sentiment using the Hot Foil Large Dad Plate in a blue foil and used the Dad Shadow Die to cut it out. I also cut out two additional dies in white cardstock and glued all three layers together.

I also cut the box card base from the Scallop Box Card Dies out of blue cardstock and I will cut out the scallop pieces after creating my own pattern paper. I stamped the medium sized hexagons from the Decorative Hexagons stamp set in a repeating pattern with different blue and teal colored inks. I then cut out each of the scallop pieces I needed from the Scallop Box Card Dies.

The new Baby Animals stamp set has adorable little critters with a bigger critter which will make an adorable Father’s Day card. My kiddo is really into cats right now, so I thought using the cats nestled together from the set would be perfect! I colored in my image with Ohuhu Art Markers and used the Baby Animals coordinating dies to cut it out.

For the rest of my sentiment, I cut Sentiment Strips Dies out of blue glitter, teal and white cardstock and stamped “it’s your special day” from Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set in blue ink. I layered all of the strips together to partner with my “Dad” hot foil sentiment. I assembled the box together and added all of my scallop pieces on the box card and popped up my sentiment pieces to my card base.

I added my cats to the center of the box card, but I did cut a second cat to adhere to the back of the cat when I glued it to the box card to give it more stability. I hope you like my take on a Father’s Day box card and I kept it a little more clean and simple this month.

Let me know what you think and if you’re enjoying this series!

Happily Ever After

Hello, Gemma here today to share a wedding card featuring products from the May release. This card uses dies exclusively – no stamping or colouring needed.

I chose a colour palette of pink, gold and soft white. I cut a panel of pink pearlescent card to cover my 6” square card base, then adhered a panel of pearlescent white sparkle card on top, slightly smaller to give a pink border around the edge.

Next, I die cut the Champagne Flute Shaker twice from gold glitter card. I used the inner piece to cut out the middles. I also cut the bubbles from the same gold glitter card.

For the centre of the glasses, I cut some pink patterned papers. I decided to trim the top of these pieces, but you could skip this step if you want to fill up the centres completely.

The sentiment is the new Happily Ever After Shadow die. I didn’t use the shadow piece on this card. I die cut the shadow from the same pearlescent pink card as the background. I also added two pink card layers behind for dimension.

I adhered the large word die to the card first, followed by the champagne flutes and bubbles to finish.

I hope that this card inspired you. Thanks for stopping by!

Pastel Little One

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back with a sweet baby card to share with you all. My card uses the Baby Mug Additions die set. I love that these dies coordinate perfectly with all the Mug dies and additions sets but can also be used on their own as I did here. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Pastel Little One

I started my card by using the Baby Mug Additions dies to die cut all of my pieces from white cardstock. I then used blending brushes and added color to all the individual pieces. Once the baby accessories were assembled I added a few white paint splatters and set them aside to dry.

Pretty Pink Posh: Pastel Little One

Next, I used the largest Eyelet Rectangle die for my card panel. I ink blended the panel with a soft lilac ink and then used a coordinating reinker to add a few ink splatters for a little added interest. I then used the Baby Basics stamp set to stamp my sentiment directly onto my panel. Lastly, I attached my Baby Mug Additions images to my panel with foam adhesive to finish my card. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Pastel Little One

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. These dies are just so sweet and all of the individual baby items can be used in such fun card layouts and designs. I know you will love them and I can’t wait to see what you create!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Congrats Graduation + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel today. I have a nephew who is promoting from Middle School to High School and he’s having a ceremony this year! I thought this would be a fun time to use his school colors to make a graduation card for inspiration for you today.

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

Pretty Pink Posh: Congrats Graduation + Video

I started with doing lots of die cutting! I used the Graduation Cap Shaker Dies, the second largest Stitched Torn Rectangle Die, and a couple dies from the Big Celebration Cupcake Dies out of white, red, glitter red, blue and glitter blue cardstocks. My sentiment is hot foiled in sparkly red foil using the Hot Foil Congrats Script plate and I used the Congrats Shadow Die to cut it out.

Pretty Pink Posh: Congrats Graduation + Video

My graduation shaker was assembled with a piece of acetate and the Celebration Shaker Beads and I adhered it to my Stitched Torn Rectangle Die white background. I assembled the party wands and added those beneath the graduation cap and popped up my “Congrats” sentiment on top of them.

Pretty Pink Posh: Congrats Graduation + Video

This panel was adhered to my white, A2 card base with thin foam adhesive. I then added the different confetti pieces around the panel and adhered them to the card base with liquid adhesive. Honestly, this card turned out pretty USA looking – so you could probably replace the graduation cap and sentiment for something a little more patriotic if you celebrate the upcoming holiday!

Berries & Butterflies

Hello everyone, it’s June here! Today I’m sharing a card featuring some old and some newer spring products.

If you know me, you know I love my strawberry themed cards. So I was beyond excited to revisit one of my favorite stamp sets after using so many of the newer products lately.

Pretty Pink Posh: Berries & Butterflies

I stamped the strawberries and the box from Fresh Berries in black ink, and used a brown ink for the leaves and the bow. I love combining inks to get a softer look on some images. I colored them in using my Copic Markers.

I hadn’t used the Butterfly Cover Plate Die from the newest release yet even though it was one of the products I was most excited for, so I thought now was the time to finally put it to its use. Butterflies and strawberries might not make perfect sense, but I think it works! I cut it out of some pastel pink cardstock because I didn’t think it needed a fancy ink blended background this time. To add some more detail however, I cut out a circle from the Eyelet Circle Dies to back my scene onto.

Pretty Pink Posh: Berries & Butterflies

I turned my butterfly panel into a shaker, of course, and I added a mix of different shaker bits to bring back the red and green of the strawberries. I used the Valentine Hearts Clay Confetti and some white and green pieces from the St. Patrick’s Day Clay Confetti

To finish off my card, I stamped the ‘thank you’ and ‘berry much’ sentiments from the Fresh Berries set onto some brown cardstock and embossed them using white powder. I cut out the scripted sentiment using its matching die and cut the rest of the sentiment into a strip.

Pretty Pink Posh: Berries & Butterflies

I adhered my berries and sentiment onto my card using foam tape for some added dimension and tadaa, the card is done!

I hope to see you again later this month with a new card, happy crafting! 👋🏻

Floral Birthday Squares Card Duo

Hello Everyone! It is Zsofi here today on the Pretty Pink Posh Blog with a fun floral card set featuring the new release. I love card designs which are versatile and easy to adapt to any occasion and can be re-made in different colours. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Floral Birthday Squares Card Duo

First I die cut the stitched flower from the Stacked Squares die set from a bunch of cardstock scrap. I used 2 shades in each colour family: pink and teal (and now I wish if only I had made purple and yellow too).

Pretty Pink Posh: Floral Birthday Squares Card Duo

Then I die cut the scalloped squares from white cardstock and the smaller stitched squares from kraft. I love that the dies are connected so I got 3 in  one go. I needed 6 of them for one design, I simply layered them on top of each other and added a flower in the middle of each.

Pretty Pink Posh: Floral Birthday Squares Card Duo

Next I chose matching patterned papers for each colour from Doodlebug. I used more graphic designs but you can choose whatever your heart desires. I cut 4,25*5,5 inches card fronts and adhered them to A2 sized note cards. I mounted the decorative floral panes with 3D foam squares.

Pretty Pink Posh: Floral Birthday Squares Card Duo

For the sentiments I white heat embossed a line from the Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set on thin strips of black cardstock and simply glued them in between the two rows of flowers. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Floral Birthday Squares Card Duo

As a finishing touch I used Marshmallow pearls for the flower centers to make them festive.

Pretty Pink Posh: Floral Birthday Squares Card Duo

I wish you liked my card set and got inspired. This design is easy to recreate for any occasion and in any colour.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon,
Zsofia

Celebrate Graduation Shaker

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. As we step into the season of graduations, from the adorable ceremonies of pre-K to the monumental milestones of high school and college, many of us will be celebrating the achievements of our family and friends. Today, I’m excited to share a graduation card that I made using products the latest release.

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

For my card, I used the color scheme of green and gold because those are my son’s college colors. Using the colors of the graduate’s school in the card is a great way to personalize the card.

I used the Graduation Cap Shaker die set as the focal point and added the Pretty Pink Posh Lucky Day Shaker Beads to the inside of the cap.

For the background of my card, I used the Layered Graduation Stencils. I inked the stencil with the following inks:

Catherine Pooler Ink, Wintergreen
Catherine Pooler Ink, In the Park
Scrapbook.com Ink, Metallic Gold

I cut the stenciled background down to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ so that it would fit on an A2 size card.

I used the graduation certificate from the Graduation Mug Additions and I used the Large Celebrate Shadow die set for the sentiment.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great day!

Spring Baby Rattle

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back with an adorable baby card that combines some “older” products with the new Baby Rattle Shaker die set

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Baby Rattle

I started my card by making my card panel with the Layered Floral Vines stencil set and dye ink. This is a three pack of stencils that layer together to create a beautiful background. I love the sweet design and I think it’s perfect for baby cards! 

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Baby Rattle

Next, I used the Baby Rattle Shaker die set and Spring Foliage dies to die cut my images from white cardstock. I added ink to the individual pieces with finger daubers and then assembled the items. I love how the baby rattle and florals compliment each other, so sweet. I then used the Sentiment Strips: Occasions stamp set and the Sentiment Strips dies for my sentiment. Lastly, I attached my images to my card panel with foam adhesive to finish my card. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Baby Rattle

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. I will be back soon to share another project with you all.

Dana
