Hello everyone, Vera here sharing another way to use Easter Friends coordinating dies as a non–Easter project. With a little imagination, you can create all sorts of characters with some of the dies you may already have in your stash!
Hello everyone, Eloise here and today I have a 10 minute card challenge card for you all. As much as I love to create very full on cards that take a lot of time I also enjoy creating very simple and quick cards. So today I thought it would be fun to do the challenge. For my card today I’m using the Easter Blessings stamp set along with the Scallop Oval dies.
To begin my card today I first stamped out the cross image from the Easter Blessings stamp set with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White Cardstock and coloured it in with Copic Markers. I used YG01, YG23 and YG17 for the leaves and E51, E53 and E55 for the cross part. I then used the coordinating dies to cut it out. While I had my Big Shot machine out, I also cut out the Scallop Oval die using some white cardstock. Once all my die cutting was done, I could work on my background.
For my background I did a super quick and easy watercolour background. I first blended on some Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink quite messily and then went in with some clean water and spread out the colour using the brush. This creates a fun watercolour background that’s quite pale and light, and it’s also very quick and easy to do! Once my background was done I dried it off with my heat tool and now I could assemble.
Before adhering everything down, I stamped out my sentiment onto the bottom centre of my card, using the same Easter Blessings stamp set with some Versafine Onyx Black ink. I then added foam tape onto the back of my frame and my image and adhered those down into the centre of my card. I popped up the entire panel on some fun foam and adhered it down to a pre-made card base. For a last finishing touch I went ahead and added some Wink of Stella to my cross image in the centre and that finished up the card.
I hope you enjoyed my card today and were inspired to either make a quick and simple card or to try and make a card in 10 minutes. This style of card can be used for so many different occasions just with a switch up of some colours, images and a sentiment. I think I’ll be using this design for a lot of cards now that I need quickly.
Hi there, Jeanne here today with a quick and fun Easter card!
Don’t you just love Easter? One of my favorite traditions is decorating eggs. We write on them with a white crayon – secret messages, or each other’s names, and then dip them in cups filled with water and food coloring. It’s fun to watch the messages appear. We don’t tell each other what they say.. only what cup the special message is in. You have to wait for the letters and words to appearl There’s always one that says “I love you” painted my favorite color!
I added splashes of watercolor that remind me of painting eggs on a clean white background. It’s the perfect background for this this sweet bunny from the Easter Friends stamp set.
The stamp set has three different egg patterns – stripes, dots, and solid so you can make lots of your own in different colors. The coordinating die set makes them easy to cut out in a flash!
I love the hand written font that you’ll find in a lot of the Pretty Pink Posh sets. It makes each and every hand made card look even more personal – a gift from the heart.
There’s only 10 more days until Easter- are you ready?
Today we have another special post by Lori Hairston. She created these darling Easter tags using both new and old Pretty Pink Posh products.
Let’s take a look at her post and video, shall we?
Hi, there! I’m hopping by with an Easter card featuring two cute Pretty Pink Posh bunnies from the Easter Friends stamps and coordinating dies.
You might notice that one bunny is sporting a cute pair of glasses. You can find those on the Holiday Pals stamp set.
The card base and front are die cut using the largest die from the Scallop Square Tags dies. The pieces aren’t really attached just held together with a white clothespin. The inside sentiment is stamped on the smaller scallop square.

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here this morning – to share a bright and colorful card that is also a full panel shaker card! I also had fun combining some newly released goodies with some older stamps and dies – one of my favorite things about Pretty Pink Posh is how well everything coordinates and works together!
I also added some accents with a white gel pen – and a BUNCH of Glossy Accents to the umbrella! LOVE the sparkle and shine that adds! Harder to see in the photos, but I added Glossy Accents to her jacket (to make it look a bit like a rain jacket?) and her shoes.
I added a frame using Scallop Frames to create my shaker portion, backing it with acetate, and adding foam tape around the edges. I then mounted the decorated frame directly on the front of the acetate, and added some foam behind the frame. I did this for two reasons – to add stability to the entire card with such a large shaker portion, and so that I didn’t waste my shaker filling where it wouldn’t be seen anyway. This way it can shaker around the entire panel and I didn’t have to fill it up as much as I otherwise might have had to.
I filled the shaker with 1/4″ Iridescent Star Confetti – SO nice and sparkly, and the perfect accent to all the bright colors from my rainbow plaid paper – it’s new from Lawn Fawn and I just ADORE it! Plaid makes me so happy anyway, but add a happy rainbow, and how can you go wrong?!?!?
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you are having a wonderful day!!!
To begin, I distressed an A2 cardstock panel and die-cut with Stitched Notes Dies using the frame.
Next, I die-cut the center of the frame using one of the L dies to create a chevron pattern as a background. In this case, I also alternated some colors for my chevron.
Then, I colored these cute images. The girls and rose are from the Friends Forever stamp set, bunny from Easter Friends stamp set, bee from Bee Friends stamp set, the bow on their head is from the old favorite, Holiday Pals stamp set. All of these sets also have their coordinating die sets that are used on this project. If you did not get a chance to snatch the Bee stamp set this past released, this will be available for purchase in May 2017.
After die-cut cutting my chevron, I then put it together inside the frame and stamped the sentiment from Easter Friends stamp set “spring is here”. I also added some dots on the front panel using my Copic Markers.
The clouds are die-cut from another favorite, Rainy Days. To finish of the card I added some Lavender Moon sequins to match the card.
I hope I have inspired you to look at your products in a different way. Thank you so much for stopping by.
Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! Amy here to share my project for the Easter Theme Week. I created a Magic Slider card using the adorableEaster Friends set and the versatile Stitched Notes Dies.
This card required three layers, so I trimmed three white cardstocks and one acetate to 4.5 X 5.5. Then, I used the Stitched Notes Dies to die-cut the white cardstocks (see picture below).
Next, using the Misti tool, I took turns stamping the images on one of the die-cut papers (using versafine black ink) and on acetate (using stazon black ink).
Once I was done stamping, I covered up the images using a Molotow masking pen in preparation for distressing the background.
I used wavy Scallop Borders to die cut stamping mask paper to create the ground for the images and to separate the colors. I distressed the stamped card stock using Cracked Pistachio and Worn Lipstick Distress Ozide inks using the blending tool.
Remember, I mentioned this card has three layers (plus a card base). The bottom layer consists of the colored cardstock with a white border (at this point I adhered the bottom layer to the card base). The second layer has a white border that was trimmed to a sideways U shape and adhered to the top of the bottom layer (this is the channel for the slider). For the sliding cardstock, I took the die-cut paper and glued on the largest tab from the Stitched Notes Dies. The white cardstock hides the colored image behind it. When you pull the tab, the cardstock slides away and the colored image is revealed. For the front layer, I adhered the stamped acetate behind the colored border and taped that to the top of the second layer. Voilà! Now we have a fun magic slider card.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card and our Easter Theme Week. Thank you for stopping by!
Thanks for stopping by during our Easter Themed Week! Jeanne here today! I couldn’t resist making a card with the cute little bunny from the Easter Friends stamp set. We have a big yard so the Easter Egg Hunt is always at our house. We hide plastic eggs with treats inside and give each of the kids a basket to fill up.
One of my favorite things about Pretty Pink Posh stamps is the ability to mix different sets together. Lots of the images from different sets are sized perfectly to create wonderful scenes!
I started with a hills of grass made with the Scallop Borders die set. Of course we need some soft puffy clouds in the sky too! These were cut from the Rainy Days coordinating die set.
I stamped the sentiment twice, once on the blue card stock sky, and again on just the edge of one of the clouds. This gives a clean appearance to the stamped sentiment.
Next the fun part! I stamped the images in Copic Markers and colored them with Copic Markers. It’s fun to add each element to complete the scene!
Be sure to join us tomorrow for the last day of our Easter week.
Hello! Amy K. here with my card for the Pretty Pink Posh Easter Theme Week. The design team has shared many ideas using the newest Easter products over the past few days. Make sure to check them all out!
I wanted to create a card with the bunny image, from Easter Friends, popping out of windows. Pretty Pink Posh has lots of choices for dies when it comes to this technique. I chose to use the Stitched Pieces Die. I created a white panel using this die as it cuts the rounded rectangles out leaving stitching on the negative piece. I used the negative piece, trimmed down, and rounded the corners to match. To a top folding card, I added some plaid pattern paper and added my white die cut Stitched Pieces panel with foam adhesive. I didn’t want the pattern paper behind my images so I used the rounded rectangles cut earlier and lightly blended Distress Inks in shades that matched the pattern paper. These were adhered through the “windows”.
My images were Copic colored and die cut using the Easter Friends Die Set. Then I decided where all my elements were going to go. Once this was done, I used the “Hi!” sentiment from Everyday Greetings Stamp Set and stamped it in each window. Using a non-Easter sentiment, made this a card that could be given anytime in the spring (if you left off the colored eggs!) Now the fun part was assembling! My bunnies were popped up with foam adhesive from each window tucking the bottom into the frame. One little colored egg was added to each bunny to carry. To finish, a few sequins from the Friendship Sequin Mix were added for some sparkle.
We hope you’ve been enjoying our posts this week. We have two more days of Easter inspiration- stay tuned!
Hello everyone! Amanda here today to bring you more Easter inspiration for our theme week!
For my first project I’ve used the Easter Friends stamp set and coordinated dies together with a couple of stamps from the Bee friends set (releasing in May). I colored all the images with Copic Markers and added a few details with colored pencils.
Since it was a very simple scene, I framed the card using the Stitched Notes die set to add a bit of interest. I also attached a few Sparkling clear sequins in different sizes as a final touch.
My second project is a tag that I made using the same stamp set (Easter Friends) and also the Everyday Greetings stamp set for the sentiment.
The images are also colored with Copic Markers and cut with its coordinated dies. For the background I blended three colors of Distress Oxide Inks (Wilted Violet, Worn Lipstick and Fossilized Amber) and spraid a bit of water on top of it. The soft sequins gave the card a very sweet final touch.
And that’s all from me today! I hope you liked it. Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!
