Hello crafty friends! This is Marine here, and I’m very happy to be back with this lovely winter card showcasing a mix & match of Pretty Pink Posh items, including the beautiful Winter Trees from the winter release, and the Fox Holder, from a previous release, that I turned into an arctic fox.

I started off by cutting a Pierced Snowflake panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and created a beautiful pink snowflake pattern using the Snowflake Background stencil along with kitsch flamingo oxide ink. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters all over my panel, and did the same with brushed pewter mica spray for sparkles. Next I used the Nature Essentials die to cut a frame out of grey cardstock, and stuck that frame to my pink snowflake panel using 1mm foam squares. And finally I attached my panel to a white card base.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, pattern paper, white cardstock, white glitter cardstock and silver glitter cardstock. I added white splatters and sparkling splatters to the colored cardstock pieces, sparkling splatters to the white cardstock pieces, and let everything dry. Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Fox Holder – fox, ears, belly, face, tail, nose and mouth • Valentine Bucket Additions – heart cheeks • Fall Mug Additions – leaves, berry branches, mushrooms, dots on the head (large mushroom die) • Christmas Holder Additions – large snowflakes • Christmas Bucket Additions – small snowflakes • Winter Trees – trees • Penguin Mugs – scarf.

Next I assembled everything. I stuck each colored tree to a white glitter tree, and shifted them a little bit to get sparkling white borders under each branch. I glued berries to the grey branches, assembled the snowflakes and mushrooms, gave my arctic Fox Holder googly eyes, heart cheeks and a scarf, glued grey dots on the forehead and put a winter bouquet in his paws. And then I attached everything to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

For my greeting, I white heat embossed “Let it” and “Snow” from Let It Snow on black cardstock. I used the matching die to cut “Snow”, and cut “Let it” into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die. Finally, I added some last details to my card: I applied glossy accents to my arctic Fox Holder nose and dots, white blizzard nuvo drops to the pink berries to give them a frosty look, and glued a tiny snowflake in the center of each large snowflake using confetti from the Winter Wonderland mix.

And that’s it! I hope that this lovely arctic fox has inspired you to use your Holder collection differently, it’s always fun to think outside the box and see what comes out of it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Hi Crafty Friends! It’s Penguin-ing to look a lot like Christmas! Emily Mydlowski here with you today sharing a bright and cheerful holiday card using the A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E Penguin Friend Stamp Set with Holiday Word Scene Stamp and Coordinating Dies.

I started by stamping all the images with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink that I heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The clear embossing powder prevents the ink from bleeding when using alcohol markers plus this extra step creates a nice crisp black outline for the images.

Once I had all my images stamped & embossed, I used an assortment of Copic markers and OLO markers to color the images. I used Cool Grays for the Penguins with bright primary pops of color in Blue, Red, and Green.

The Merry & Bright sentiment is SO much fun to color. I went with Candy Cane Red & Pink for “MERRY”, Christmas Tree Teal & Bright Green for “AND” with Snowman Blues for “BRIGHT”. All of the images were highlighted with white gel pen.

After die cutting all the pieces, I placed Merry & Bright in the center of a white cardstock panel with foam adhesive. Then I popped all the jolly Penguins into the sentiment for a festive Merry & Bright Word Scene. I added a candy cane and a few stamped snowflakes to complete the design.  

Wishing you a Merry & Bright Holiday Season! Thanks for stopping by, and Big Paper Hugs!

Hello, Gemma here today to share a fun Christmas pudding shaped card.

I began by creating the card base, using a large circle die from my stash. Die cut a folded card base, with the top of the circle die sitting above the fold line. To help the card base stand, trim a straight edge along the base at the back.

Next, I cut two more circles – one from cream card and another from brown card. I adhered the brown circle to the card base.

I used a die from the Snowy Hills Border set to add a wavy edge to the cream circle. I used the same border to create a gold glitter edge, adhering both to the card.

Next, I die cut some holly leaves and berries, using the Winter Foliage die set. I adhered these to the top of the card.

For the sentiment, I die cut the Large Merry Shadow from gold glitter card, adding some die cut layers behind for dimension. I stamped an accompanying sentiment on the cream card, from the Holiday Scripts stamp set, then adhered the Merry word above to finish.

This card was easy to put together and it’s fun to create a shaped card every now and then. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today. I’m sharing a fun Extra Long Christmas Train trifold card featuring the Christmas Train and some adorable Gingerbread Friends. It is super easy to customize the length of this cute Christmas Train set. However, there is only so much space on the front of a standard A2-size card. I was determined to find a way to fit more of the train onto my card. My solution: an unassuming card front that opens up to reveal a surprise trifold design that can hold 4 more carts of the train. So let’s get started.

First, I stamped the images from the Christmas Train stamp set and a couple of gingerbread images from the Gingerbread Friends set onto some Neenah Solar White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

NOTE: I used two different weights of Neenah Solar White cardstock for this card. The sturdiness of the Neenah 110 lb cardstock was perfect for the train engine and the first cart that I eventually adhered with foam tape to the card front. Whereas, the thin nature of the Neenah 80 lb cardstock was perfect for the remainder of the images which were adhered to the inside of the card and required a low profile in order for the card to fold up nicely.

The Christmas Train Coordinating Dies and Gingerbread Friends Coordinating Dies were used to diecut the images out. I colored the images with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen. 

COPIC COLORS

Train: E31/34, R24/29, T7
Smoke: C00/0/1
String of lights: T5, R24/29, YG03/17
Hollies/Gifts: R24/29, YG03/17, C1
Candy Cane: R24/29, C1
Christmas Tree: Y06/08, YG03/25/17, R24/29
Gingerbread men: E51/53/33/99, R20, R24/29
Hats: R22/24/29/39, C00/1
Train tracks: C1, E31

For the trifold cardbase, I took a piece of white cardstock (8.5″ x 11″) and trimmed it in half to create 2 smaller panels (8.5″ x 5.5″). I used a score board to score and fold at the midline 4.25″ mark to create 2 side-folding A2 cardbases. I will now refer to these 2 cardbases as Card A and Card B. Card A will eventually be the left two panels of the finished trifold card. Card B will eventually be the back of the center panel and the right panel of the finished trifold card.

I opened and flipped Card A upside down on my table top as if I flipped an open book upside down to save the page that I was on. Card A should look like a tent or mountain with the fold line as the peak. 

Next, I opened and held Card B right side up as if I were reading a book. Card B should look like a valley with the fold line pointing to the ground. I trimmed a sliver (about 1/8″) off of the left edge of the left panel of this card. Then, I added liquid glue all along the outline of the left panel of the card. I adhered the left panel of Card B to the back of the right panel of Card A. 

The end result should be a trifold card with a left panel, a peak up, a center panel (two layers), a valley and then a right panel.

For the sentiment, I stamped the sentiments from the Christmas Train Stamp set “Holiday Fun is on the Way” onto the left panel (card front) and the “Delivering Joy & Cheer” onto the right panel (card inside) with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

The train tracks and the colored images added to the inside of the card were adhered with liquid glue. The train engine, smoke and first cart were adhered to the front of the card with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to make your own trifold card. 

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Hi crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I’m glad to be back with this new winter themed shaker card showcasing products from the November 2025 release. Working on that Igloo Shaker was super fun, I really enjoyed using vellum instead of the traditional acetate to make the window panel, I thought it would emphasize the frosty look of my card, I’m quite happy with how the whole scene turned out, and I hope that you like it, too!

While my panel was drying, I cut my Winter Trees out of dark grey, light grey, white and silver glitter cardstock. I added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters on the grey and white trees, let them dry, and then attached a cardstock tree to a silver glitter tree using liquid glue, shifting the trees a little bit to get sparkling borders under the branches. I also cut the pieces to build my Christmas Light Garland out of the same cardstock as the trees. I added liquid stardust splatters to each light, attached them to the white string using liquid glue, and then applied glossy accents to the lights to make them super shiny.

I created my Igloo Shaker following those steps:

1. I cut the Igloo Shaker frame out of holographic cardstock, cut a whole igloo out of vellum, added white splatters to that vellum panel, and once dry, attached it at the back of the holographic frame with liquid glue,

2. Still at the back of the igloo, I attached foam strips around the edges, following the curves, and also on each small section that divides the igloo,

3. I poured Black Tie shaker beads inside each section of the igloo, and peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips,

4. I cut another whole igloo out of dark grey cardstock, and attached it to the foam strips to totally close my Igloo Shaker.

Next I attached everything to my Cascading Snowflakes panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, starting with some Winter Trees in the back, my Igloo Shaker right in the middle of the panel and a tree on each side, and then the Christmas Light Garland on the igloo. My greeting is from Let It Snow, I white heat embossed it on black cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and finally attached it to the igloo using foam squares again.

And that’s it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you soon!

Hello, friends! Justin here, and I am so excited to be finishing off this super fun Christmas Theme Week with a duo of cards that are incredibly easy to create using a 2-for-1 method! I have been itching to use the Ornament Cover Plate Die, and this was the perfect opportunity to use it with some simple sentiments!

Ornament Cover Plate Die
Winter Greetings Stamp Set
Winter Greetings Coordinating Dies

Now, let me show you how easy it was to put this card together!

I decided that I just wanted to play with 2 distinct colors, and settled on bubblegum pink and mint green. I thought these were cards that play really well with themselves for the holiday season (that, and I was REALLY excited that the new Wicked: For Good movie would be out soon). I took the Ornament Cover Plate Die, and die cut the plate once from pink cardstock and again from green cardstock.

Because the Ornament Cover Plate Die is designed to create ornament designs with the negative shapes, I ended up with (6) pink and (6) green ornaments. I wanted to give these ornaments a little bit of extra detail, so I decided to blend the edges of the pink ornaments with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, and the edges of the green ornaments with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink. I felt this ink blending really helped the ornaments have more dimension than had I left them just plain cardstock.

I adhered my cover plate die cuts onto a white A2-sized card base, and then fit ornaments of the opposite color into each of the negative circle spots.

I was originally planning on adhering embellishments onto each card, by the simple symmetrical design of the card was sort of throwing me through a loop for embellishment placement. I decided to instead splatter each panel with white acrylic paint. I thought this was a great way to add some detail to the card, without overthinking placement. Also, I die cut the ornament topper dies from metallic gold paper, which also helped give the ornaments some great flair.

To finish my card, I heat embossed the sentiments “Tis The Season” and “Merry & Bright” on colored cardstock in white embossing powder. To give the sentiments a little bit of lift, I adhered them to the lower right ornament on each card using foam tape.

And there you have it! An easy way to create a duo of cards with minimal die cutting! I think that there are so many fun ways you could use this cover plate die for batch card making this holiday season!

Hello, friends and welcome back to Day 6 of Christmas Theme Week on the Pretty Pink Posh blog! Brenda from My PaperCut Creations here with you today!! Holiday cards are some of my favorite to create so I’m super excited to be sharing my card featuring the stunning Winter Foliage Die Set with you today!! I love everything about this set!

I began by die-cutting all the elements in the Winter Foliage Die Set from red, two shades of green, two shades of brown and two shades of teal cardstock. I added some dimension to the die-cuts with dye inks and blending brushes, then layered and adhered each individual element together with liquid glue.

For the background, I blended Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Inks onto a panel of white cardstock with the Snowflake Background Stencil. I added the darker color toward the center, then blended it lighter toward the outside of the panel. I also die-cut the panel with the Pierced Snowflakes Die to add a bit of texture. The poinsettias were popped up with foam squares and the pinecones and foliage die-cuts were arranged and tucked in around the poinsettias, adhering them with liquid glue. I added Cherry Red Pearls to the berry branches, then splattered the panel with diluted white bleed-proof ink. I applied Opaque Grit Paste and a bit of Rock Candy Glitter to the entire arrangement to create a snowy effect.

The sentiment is from the Christmas Banner Greetings Stamp Set. It was stamped onto white cardstock with red dye ink and cut out with a die from the Banner Greetings 1 Die Set. I also die-cut three more banners from heavyweight white cardstock using the same die and adhered them behind the stamped one, then adhered it across the center of the card. A trio of Metallic Gold Confetti added to the center of each of the poinsettias finishes off the card.

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today. I’m sharing a fun and yummy Christmas card featuring the Big Christmas Cupcake Dies. Can you imagine if this were a real cupcake? Wouldn’t that huge Christmas tree worth of frosting be just heavenly?! It’s making me hungry already. This was a super fun die to play with because the possibilities for decorating this cupcake are endless. 

I started by creating the background. I used the largest die from the Eyelet Rectangles Dies to diecut a piece of pink cardstock. The scalloped edges were masked off with some low tack tape. I used the three stencils in the Layered Snowflakes Stencils and Hero Arts Unicorn White pigment ink to create a subtle snowy background. I set that aside to dry as I worked on the cupcake. 

The Big Christmas Cupcake Dies were used to diecut all of the cupcake, Christmas tree, ornaments, snowflakes ad bow out of white, red, green and gold cardstock. I used Copic markers (E41 W1) to add a little color to the white frosting. I also added some highlights with a white gel pen. The elements were assembled as seen in the photos, with liquid glue. Foam squares were used to adhere the bow and ornaments for a bit of dimension and interest. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Christmas Banner Greetings onto a piece of white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Banner Greetings 1 Dies to diecut the sentiment. I used the die to also diecut another banner out of green cardstock. The two banners were adhered to each other slightly offset to create a green shadow. 

The cupcake and sentiment banner were adhered to the pink panel with foam tape. I adhered the larger snowflakes directly onto the pink panel with liquid glue. A piece of craft foam was adhered to the back of the pink panel before it was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25″ x 5.5″).

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to make and send out your own version of this yummy cupcake this holiday season.
