Polka Dot Baby Onesies

Hello, Gemma here today to share a colourful card with the new Baby Mug Additions set.

I began by die cutting the onesie die, from the Baby Mug Additions set, from a rainbow of pastel polka dot patterned paper. I love these softer colours for a baby card.

I also die cut some white card layers, adding two behind each patterned paper onesie for dimension.

Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Baby Animals stamp set in the centre of a 5.25” square card base. The large ‘baby’ sentiment has a coordinating die, which I didn’t use on this card, but I love to have that option.

I arranged the onesies around the sentiment, adhering them with liquid glue, then trimming away anything overhanging the card base.

At this point, I decided I needed something extra to fill a space above the sentiment. I picked out the small heart die from the Baby Mug Additions set, die cutting from pink card and adhering on the card to finish.

I hope that this card inspired you to bring out your patterned paper for your baby cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Easy Grid Cards w/ Dies + Video

Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here with a super easy grid card design using the new Big Celebration Cupcake die set!

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

I absolutely adore cards that use a grid pattern of die cuts or stamped images but I didn’t really think it was something I could do because I hate to measure and I’m just not very precise, LOL!

Pretty Pink Posh: Easy Grid Cards w/ Dies + Video

Here are the Distress Oxide colors I used:

  • strawberries: Saltwater Taffy, Abandoned Coral & Lumberjack Plaid
  • leaves: Cracked Pistachio & Twisted Citron
  • blueberries: Shaded Lilac & Blueprint Sketch
  • ants: Black Soot
Pretty Pink Posh: Easy Grid Cards w/ Dies + Video

BUT I’ve found that if I’m intentionally a little crooked here & there and add a few extras, I can make a really easy grid that feels precise enough! Add in a little sentiment from the Floral Hearts and Build A Cupcake sets and these cards were finished.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Little One Card Duo

Hi friends! It’s Zsofi here today on the Pretty Pink Posh blog and I am so happy to share a project I made mixing some of the brand new products for welcoming babies on this world.

Pretty Pink Posh: Hello Little One Card Duo

First I used the Layered Onesies stencil set on Bristol Smooth cardstock with Distress Oxide inks. For the first layer I used Kitch Flamingo / Picked Raspberry for the pink and Tumbled Glass / Salty Ocean for the blue. I was going for an ombre look, a bit lighter on the bottom and darker on the top.

For the patterns (Layer B) I used the same inks just with heavier hand and before removing the stencil, I added a gloss glitter gel (Moda Scrap). I set it aside to dry completely.

For the focal panels, I die cut a few stitched hearts and stars from coloured cardstock scraps using the Baby Mug Additions and Stacked Squares die sets. Those little elements are a perfect touch instead of a coloured image.

I stamped a sentiment from the Baby Basics stamp set on the bottom of a 2*2 inches white square and adhered the die cuts. I used a new Eyelet Squares die to give them a colourful mat.

Pretty Pink Posh: Hello Little One Card Duo

I like to give a frame to my cards, so I cut a tiny bit off the stenciled backgrounds and gave them a mat too. I popped up the focal panels with 3D foam tape for a bit of dimension and my cards were ready. Look at the shimmery shine from the glitter paste, isn’t it gorgeous?

Pretty Pink Posh: Hello Little One Card Duo

I hope you liked my card set and got inspired to make a couple of baby greetings like this. I cannot wait to try these in green, orange, purple and yellow too!

Patriotic Celebration Cupcake

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today! I’m so happy to share with you this bright and bold 4th of July card showcasing the amazing Big Celebration Cupcake die set. I usually don’t make many of those cards when that time of the year comes, so I decided to go for a whole traditional red, white and blue color palette, I added holographic and sparkling details, and had the most fun!

Pretty Pink Posh: Patriotic Celebration Cupcake

I started off by cutting a Stitched Torn Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and colored it using three shades of blue oxide inks. I first applied tumbled glass right in the center of my panel, next I added salty ocean on the edges and blended it into the tumbled glass section, and I added a little bit of prize ribbon on the edges that I blended into the salty ocean section. I splattered water on my panel, and dried it using a paper towel. I also mixed some prize ribbon oxide ink with water, used a small brush to add more splatters on my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. And finally I used the starry stencil from the Spooky Sky stencil pack along with white stenciling paste to add an extra USA touch to my panel.

Pretty Pink Posh: Patriotic Celebration Cupcake

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock. As I was saying, I used a red, white and blue color palette to totally embrace this 4th of July theme, and added holographic details on the fireworks and rockets’ tails. And for some variation, I brought some light blue accents with the banners and stars on the cupcake wrapper. I used most of the Big Celebration Cupcake dies, as well as the cake, banner and “Celebrate” dies from Big Birthday Cupcake.

Pretty Pink Posh: Patriotic Celebration Cupcake

I assembled the fireworks and rockets using liquid glue, and attached everything on my panel using 1mm and 2 foam squares. Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches red and white stripe pattern paper, attached it to a white card base, and then stuck my cupcake panel on top using liquid glue again. As always I added highlights and details to my die-cut pieces using a white gel pen, and next added the last final details: a bunch of Iridescent Mini Star Confetti all around the cupcake, sprinkles on the whipped cream from the Bright Rainbow Clay Confetti pack, and white blizzard nuvo drops on the fireworks and rockets’ stars.

Pretty Pink Posh: Patriotic Celebration Cupcake

And that’s it! Oh that was fun! Love how it turned out and how bright it is! I hope that you like it and that it has inspired you to create your own! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Baby Onesie Shaker + Video

Hi friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today sharing a shaker card I made using the Onesie Shaker dies.

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

For the background of my card, I used the Layered Onesies Stencils. I inked the stencils with Catherine Pooler inks in the following colors: Chiffon, It’s a Girl, Wintergreen, and Oh Boy. 

The focal point of this card is the baby onesie. I used the Onesie Shaker dies to make the onesie into a shaker. This die set can also be used to make a onesie that is not a shaker — it’s simply up to you! Be sure to watch my video to see how I put the shaker together. 

I die cut the shapes with white cardstock and inked them up with the same ink colors I used in the Layered Onesies Stencils. I added the new Spring Breeze shaker beads inside the shaker. I love how the color of the beads match so well with the ink colors I chose.

For the sentiment, I used one from the Sentiment Strips: Occasions stamp set and die cut it with the Sentiment Stripes dies. I trimmed the stenciled background to fit inside of the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die and added it to an A2 size card base.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Have a great day!
Lisa Mears

Hi friends! Christina here from My Crafty Trails, and I’m so excited to be sharing my project showcasing some of the cutest products from the newest Pretty Pink Posh release, the Baby Rattle Shaker and Beautiful Bows die sets.

Day 3: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

To start my project, I created my own text background by repeatedly stamping small sentiments with white pigment ink on minty green cardstock. Most of the sentiments I used are from the new Sentiment Strips: Occasions Stamp Set, but I pulled a few from the recent Birthday and Valentine stamp sets too. Before adding a stitched white frame from the Nature Essentials Dies to my text background, I splattered it with some white gouache paint.

Day 3: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

Next, I die cut all the elements to make three baby rattles from navy, white, yellow, and pink cardstock. I chose not to make my rattles into shakers for this project and just assembled them with the decorative pieces included in the set. I decided to add some of the gorgeous and super-versatile bows from the new Beautiful Bows Die Set. And the dot detail on the yellow rattle is actually a component of one of the bows! 

Day 3: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

To finish up my card, I attached the assembled rattles to my background and trimmed the handles that overhung the panel. Then, I stamped a sentiment from the new Baby Basics Stamp Set in blue ink and fussy cut around the text before attaching it to my card. Lastly, I added a few white clay hearts and then attached everything to a navy cardstock panel.

Day 1: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

Day 1: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

The May 2024 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, Mindy has that for you today!

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

Hello crafty friends, Marine here. I’m here for the first day of the blog hop with fun and bright friendship card showcasing two new products from the Pretty Pink Posh May 2024 Release: the Decorative Hexagons stamp set and the Fancy Lattice stencil. And those beautiful hexagons definitely reminded me of bees, so I brought the Bee Friends back!

Day 1: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

I started off by creating my background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I first covered the entire panel with salvaged patina oxide ink to get a nice aqua base, and then I used the Fancy Lattice stencil along with peacock feathers oxide ink to create a beautiful pattern on my piece of paper. I also added a little bit of peacock feathers oxide ink on the four edges of my panel, and then added texture. I first splattered water that I dried using a paper towel, next I mixed some peacock feathers oxide with water and used a small brush to add more splatters, and I did the same with black soot oxide ink and with copic opaque white ink.

Day 1: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

I set my panel aside to dry, and stamped three Bee Friends on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them using the matching dies, and colored them using my alcohol markers. I used a white gel pen to add highlights and details to my three little bees, and applied white blizzard nuvo drops on their wings to make them sparkle. And I also white heat embossed three trails on vellum, cut them using the matching dies, and set those pieces aside for later.

Day 1: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

Next I stamped multiple Decorative Hexagons outlines on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using the same black ink as the bees, and started off by “coloring” those hexagons using the solid images along with Lawn Fawn Merman dye ink, and I stamped the patterns using Lawn Fawn Peacock dye ink. I cut my hexagons using the matching dies, attached them all on my Fancy Lattice panel using 1mm foam squares, along with the bees and trails, leaving enough space for my greeting.

Day 1: May Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

Speaking of which, I started off by cutting the Friend Shadow word out of gold glitter cardstock. Next I white heat embossed “Love you bunches” from Hedgehog Friends on black cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and then attached both pieces on my panel using 1mm foam squares. I finished my card by adding Onyx Black Pearls here and there, as well as a red heart from the Valentine Hearts clay confetti pack right above the “i” in “Friend”.
