This is Amy! I am back today to share another card using Pretty Pink Posh supplies. I am playing with the Rainy Days Additions set. This set is so cute!!
Here is how I made my card:
White heat emboss the clouds from Rainy Days Additions all over a watercolor panel
Blend rainbow colors of distress inks on top and add water with a paint brush. The colors I used are Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold, Fossilized Amber, Lucky Clover and Peacock Feathers
Die cut the right side of the panel with Scallop Borders Die. Mount the panel on a card base matted with patterned paper
White heat emboss the sentiment on black cardstock. Cut out a banner. Add some twine to embellish
Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here to share a couple Butterfly theme shaker cards again using some of the NEW release from Pretty Pink Posh – SOOOO much to love!
To begin with, I cut my card front using the fabulous new Storybook 5 die from white cardstock, then cut it again out of kraft cardstock to get the center windows. I then used the large butterfly die to make a window for my shaker.
Next, I used some Versamark ink to stamp the solid tiny butterfly from the stamp set randomly over the white background, sprinkled with clear embossing powder, and heat set – at this point, the butterflies are invisible…
THEN – I blended distress inks over the background – see how the white butterflies magically appeared? Then I took the tiny outline butterfly stamp set, and stamped it around the outside as well, but in the same distress ink color as was blended on each area – in this next photo, you can see how the right hand card front was already done this way – doesn’t it add so much to the background?
Finally, I added the butterfly trail to the shaker part, and stamped a sentiment from Camping Friends Stamp set, and heat embossed them both in white, then added the acetate and foam adhesive to these pieces to form the shaker element – which is filled with the new size 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins– such a PERFECT size for shaker cards, and I’m pretty sure they are extra sparkly!!!
Here is a close up look at the finished cards:
See what I mean? Don’t you think those sequins are especially sparkly?
I love how just changing the distress ink colors helps change the entire feel of the card:
That small size sequin moves especially well in the shaker cards too – small enough that I only had to use one layer of foam adhesive, and it still moves freely.
Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and I have a video tutorial to share today featuring one of the new stamps & dies- Camping Friends.
To create the shaker area for this project I used a coordinating die, not a stand alone die, and die cut a tent window in a rectangle panel. I often like to use my coordinating dies on their own without the stamps and using the die like this is a great example of how you can stretch the use of dies beyond just using them with their matching stamps.
I also filmed a video tutorial to walk you through the cardmaking process from start to finish.
Instead of using acetate for my shaker window, I once again used vellum. If you missed my earlier post, click here. The reason I went with vellum here is because when using vellum, unlike acetate, I’m able to emboss it. I embossed a tent image in Gold Embossing powder (I made two identical cards and for the other card I used Simon’s Antique Gold embossing powder) and adhered vellum screen onto the die cut rectangle from behind.
Tip: when using acetate you won’t be able to heat emboss it unless the acetate is heat resistant, but you can stamp on acetate with special kind of ink like StazOn. You can also stamp on vellum and there are a lot of different kinds of ink what will dry on vellum surface.
Instead of using regular white and brown cardstock, I used woodgrain textured card as I feel is was a perfect match for this nature-themed project. I also added a bit of natural twine to the mix.
If you missed yesterday’s blog hop post, click here.
I don’t know about you, but yesterday I was so inspired by all the amazing inspiration. It’s amazing how just a few products can create so many unique cards! I have even more talented designers and special guests for you today and let’s just say, you are going to want to craft after you see what they made!
I stamped the fox image on Bristol paper with Versafine Ink, colored with Copic markers, and then I cut it with the coordinating dies. I then stamped the clouds using a gray ink pad and then heat embossed “miss you” on it. As usual, I had to finish it off with my favorite Sparkling Clear sequins.
For the rest of the details on how I created my card, I will show in my five minutes video. Click the graphic below to watch it!
Ready to hop along and see LOTS more fabulous inspiration with this release?

I hope you all enjoyed our two day blog hop and were inspired by the new products. A giant thank you to all of the talented designers who shared their inspiration!
It’s time for our two day Product Release Blog Hop for the August 2016 release. Many of you have already placed orders, but for those who were wanting for more inspiration, today and tomorrow the design team and special guests have all sorts of inspiration to share!
Today the super sweet Jeanne has a card and mini tutorial for you all using the new Camping Friends stamp set!
It’s great to be able to use the dies to cut out shapes to insert into a scene, but today I’m going to show you how I used the dies to actually make the background. I wanted to create a starry sky over a grassy area as a background for the mischievous raccoon.
I started by stamping a panel of card stock with the moon and stars images. I colored them with Copic markers. Next I die cut the matching shapes and adhered them to the colored images with repositionable adhesive.
Next I added distress ink (wilted violet) over the stars covering about 2/3 of the panel. I mixed a little extra with water and splashed it over the panel to add the little dots you see. It adds a little dimension to the background – don’t worry if some go across the bottom panel of the paper. When the paper was dry I removed the die cut masks.
For the grassy area I used the curved border from the Stitched Borders 1 die set. I used the negative side of the die cut as a mask and blended distress ink to create a grassy hill.
Tip: Save the pretty stitched side of the die cut for another project.
I trimmed the background panel and framed it with the Scallop Frames die.
A few Summer Flowers make great accents for the grass- and there are so many colors to choose from in the store! Pretty Pink Posh makes it so easy to make!

I truly hope you enjoyed today’s blog hop. Come back tomorrow for a whole new batch of inspiration and designers!
Thank you all for your enthusiasm about the new stamp sets, dies and sequins. I can’t wait to start seeing your creations with the new products in blog and social media land!
To begin, I first distressed an A2 white card panel then die-cut on the upper right using the medium sized Stitched Hexagons dies. At the bottom of the panel I drew 2 lines using a pencil mark (see: arrows). This will serve as a guide on where to put some grass and dot images using Copic markers.
Next, I using YG95 and G99 to draw my grass and dots for my ground.
I added more color of Copics to make it more realistic look. I used E31 and E57 for the add on.
Next, I removed the pencil marks. For the back of the hexagon, I distressed some piece of white cardstock using Distress Ink in Wild Honey. Next, I adhered the piece of cardstock with foam tape for dimensions even though it’s a background.
I adhered the die-cut images with foam tape for added dimensions. I also added some of the new Tropical Flowers sequins(orange color). I also include some of the Sparkling Clear sequins to finish off the card.
It’s an exciting day here in the Pretty Pink Posh studio- my big August release is now live in the shop! I took a little break from releasing products to focus on getting my health steady again, but I am back to work and ready to share what I’ve been keeping under wraps for a while!

Hello, Anna Kossakovskaya is here today with my first guest designer post, I’m so happy to share some my cards with you and thanks to Paulina for this invitation.
For my today’s card I played with cute foxes from new Fox Friends set. I like these animals – they always look so sweet! And I used two of three foxes from the set – stamped them, colored and cut with the coordinating dies.
To make the scene, I cut the windowns on the front panel with Storybook 5 die and placed the scene and shaker inside. For the bushes I used Scallop Borders die – cut two pieces and colored them with Distress inks. The ‘sky’ I colored with pink and light blue inks.
To fill the shaker I took two kinds of the sequins – 3MM Sparkling Clear Sequins and 6mm Peridot Mist Sequins.

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here with a couple cards using some of the brand new Pretty Pink Posh products releasing in just a few days!!! So excited for all the new goodies!
My kids both know how much I love foxes, so whenever there is something with a cute fox, they always point it out to me. So as soon as I saw this cute new Fox Friends set, I knew it would be the first thing I would want to play with! I mean, look at those cute fox faces!!!
I also used a brand new border die that is releasing – Scallop Border Dies. I love the combination of the scallops and stitching in these! I used two different color combos – so I cut the bottom edge off of a gray and kraft piece of cardstock so the bottom third of the white card base is showing.
Then I stamped and die cut the foxes with their coordinating dies, and some speech bubbles for the sentiments using Stitched Speech Bubbles Dies – the perfect size to coordinate with these.
I wanted to add some inking to the bottom of my card bases, so I taped off a line so I knew where the inking needed to go – that way I made sure to have coverage where I wanted, but didn’t have to waste any more ink than necessary. I also added some splatters of white paint by mixing some white paint with water in a Mini Mister, then removing the sprayer and flicking a bit on.
I colored up the foxes, stamped my sentiments, and then used the tiny heart in the set to stamp a random background with the same color ink I used on the white card bases. To make them pop a little extra, I filled them in with a white gel pen.
Mounted the front panel on the card bases, and the foxes and speech bubbles with foam adhesive, and added a few Sparkling Clear Sequins. Here is a closer look at both of them:
For this one I went with a brighter and cooler color palette – the fox is almost a coral color.
The second one felt more like fall colors to me – the red is deep and rich.
Seriously – aren’t those foxes ADORABLE?!?!?
