Christmas Theme Week: Day 1

Christmas Theme Week: Day 1

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, kicking off Christmas Theme Week with this set of Build A Stocking cards and their matching see-through Stocking Shaker tags. I went for my favorite color palette this season, which is red + pink + aqua + green, and did something I almost never do because I find it too messy: I used glitter to make my cards and tags even more festive.

Christmas Theme Week: Day 1

So, let’s start with the cards, shall we? I cut two Eyelets Rectangles: an aqua panel and a light pink panel, and used the Layered Stockings stencils to create stockings on both panels along with oxide inks. With the stencil (A) I used worn lipstick, salvaged patina and mowed lawn. With the stencil (B) I used festive berries, peacock feathers and rustic wilderness. And with the stencil (C) I used white pigment ink. And once all the layers were done, I mixed a little bit of copic opaque white ink with water, and used a small brush to make splatters on both panels.

Next I die cut all the elements out of colored cardstock: • the stockings from Build A Stocking • the pine needles and pine cones from Winter Foliage • the snowflakes from Winter Mug • the bows from Holiday Mug Additions.

I assembled the different pieces, attached everything on my panels using 1mm foam squares and liquid glue, and then I created two identical “Merry Christmas” greetings. I white heat embossed “Merry” from Sentiment Strips: Christmas on a dark grey cardstock and trimmed it using a die from Sentiment Strips. I cut “Christmas” from Merry Christmas Shadow out of gold mirror cardstock, and its shadow out of vellum, I layered both pieces on top of each other, and attached my two-part greetings below the stockings on each panel. And finally I added glitter at different places, and a Metallic Gold Pearl in the center of each snowflake.

Christmas Theme Week: Day 1

And I thought it would be fun to make matching tags, so I used the Stocking Shaker to make a couple of see-through tags. I started off by cutting four stockings out of red cardstock. At the back of two of them I attached a piece of acetate that I trimmed all around the stockings. On top of the two other stockings I also attached a piece of acetate that I trimmed. At the back of the first two stockings, I added foam strips, following the shape of my elements. I poured my shaker material inside each stocking: Jolly Santa confetti mix in one, and Candy Cane Lane confetti mix in the other. And then I stuck the two other stockings to the foam strips in order to close my Stocking Shakers.

Christmas Theme Week: Day 1

I cut two additional Stocking Shakers out of white cardstock, cut the top parts off and attached them on my shaker stockings. Next I cut six Merry Script words: three out of aqua cardstock that I layered on top of each other to create dimension, and three out of light pink cardstock. I also white heat embossed two “Holly Jolly Christmas” greetings from Sentiment Strips: Christmas on dark grey cardstock, trimmed them using a die from Sentiment Strips, and then attached those pieces on the white section of each stocking. To be able to hang those see-through stockings, I cut two white handles using a die from Build A Stocking, attached both pieces on the top right hand corner of each stocking, added twine, ribbon and glitter.

Finally I cut two white glitter snowflakes using a die from Winter Mug that I attached on each stocking, and glued a Metallic Gold Pearl in the middle of each snowflake as a final decorative touch. And that’s it! How fun it was to create this set of cards and tags, I hope that these will inspire you. Thanks so much for stopping by, have an amazing day!

Tree Cover Plate Shaker

Hello friends. It’s Leica, and I’m here to show you a super easy Christmas shaker card made possible by the Tree Cover Plate. I get really excited when I can whip up a card in just a few minutes. Let’s get started!

Tree Cover Plate Shaker

First, I cut the Tree Cover Plate from light pink cardstock and glued a sheet of clear acetate on the back. I added foam tape all around the edges and in the spaces between the trees. Then, I sprinkled in some Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads. After that, I peeled off the backing of the foam tape and glued on a patterned paper that’s A2-sized.

Tree Cover Plate Shaker

For the words, I used white heat embossed with a saying from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set on red cardstock. Then, I cut it out with a die from the Sentiment Strip dies and gave it some extra pop by mounting it with foam. To make things extra special, I added Metallic Gold Pearls here and there for a touch of sparkle.

Tree Cover Plate Shaker

I’m just thrilled with how quickly this card came together. I hope it gets your creative juices flowing to make some cards with this new cover plate. Happy crafting!

Shimmer Christmas Card

Hi friends, Gemma here. Today I’m sharing a card with the Layered Christmas Trees stencil set and the Hot Foil Merry Christmas. I chose a palette of black grey and gold.

Shimmer Christmas Card

The Layered Christmas Trees stencil set has three layers, but I’m only using two on this card. I’ve skipped layer C with the tree trunks.

With layer A, I blended distress inks in Lost Shadow, Hickory Smoke and Black Soot.

Shimmer Christmas Card

I used some Nuvo Glacier Paste in Golden Era with layer B. Remember to clean your stencil well after using any kind of paste. I put the stenciled panel aside to dry, whilst I worked on the sentiment.

Shimmer Christmas Card

On black card, I foiled in gold the Hot Foil Merry Christmas words. I then used the Merry Christmas Shadow Dies to cut them out, adding two additional layers for dimension.

Shimmer Christmas Card

I adhered a piece of black card on to a 6” square card base, then trimmed down the stenciled panel and adhered to the card with foam tape. I then added the foiled sentiments in the centre of the card to finish.

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

Penguin Box Card + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today using one of my favorite PPP sets- Penguin Pals stamp set . I am coloring them with fun colors and putting them onto a box card!

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

I started with using the Layered Mittens Stencils to add green, blue and purple inks to a light blue piece of cardstock. After the splatter of metallic watercolor ink dried, I cut the scallop dies from the stenciled set and the box card dies out of a dark blue with the Scallop Box Card Dies. I assembled the box together using my adhesive runner.

Next I stamped my images from the Penguin Pals stamp set and colored them in with Ohuhu Art Markers, then used the Penguin Pals coordinating dies to cut them out. I added the penguins to my assembled box card and then moved onto the sentiment.

Penguin Box Card + Video

I decided to use “Winter” from the Holiday Scripts stamp set and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also stamped “Season’s Greetings” from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set. I cut the secondary sentiment with the Sentiment Strips Die Set as well as vellum and the dark blue cardstock. The sentiments were layered together and popped up to the front of the box card.

Penguin Box Card + Video

For final touches, I used the Aqua Shimmer Confetti, Mint Shimmer Confetti, and Purple Shimmer Confetti mixes to add some shine around the box card.

I hope this fun colored box card inspires you today to have some winter fun crafting today!

Thanksgiving Mug

Hi crafty friends, it’s Leica! Today, I’m excited to share a fall-themed card with you, featuring the Fall Mug Additions Dies. These are a fantastic addition to the Mug Dies collection that I really adore from PPP.

Thanksgiving Mug

To start off, I cut the largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies in teal cardstock. I used Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink to color the bottom part to give it that ombre look. I added some white ink splatters and teal watercolor to make the card more interesting. Then, I used a pink piece of cardstock as a background for this panel.

Thanksgiving Mug

Next, I used the Fall Mug Additions Dies to make some cute elements using different colored cardstocks from Spellbinders. I also added a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set and cut it into a fancy shape using the Sentiment Strips Dies. Finally, I glued everything onto a white piece of cardstock.

What I really love about this card is how quick and easy it was to put together, without needing to do any marker coloring. Making cards like this is something I enjoy a lot! Thanks for visiting the PPP Blog today.

Thanksgiving Cornucopia

Hello, crafty friends! Leica here with a super cool Thanksgiving card to show you. I used some fall stencils and dies from Pretty Pink Posh to make this card extra special.

Thanksgiving Cornucopia

To start things off, I took a piece of white cardstock that’s 4.75 inches square. Then, I ink blended it with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink. I also used a stencil called Falling Branches, and I used the same ink to make a cool pattern. I did this to make the colors match nicely. To add a border of color, I glued the card panel onto a 5-inch square brown cardstock.

Thanksgiving Cornucopia

Next, I used the beautiful dies from the Fall Cornucopia Dies. I cut them from different colored cardstock and put some right onto the card. Others I made pop up a bit by using foam tape. I also added a sentiment on a black strip, and I white heat embossed it  to make it stand out. Then, I used foam tape for added dimension.

Thanksgiving Cornucopia

Last thing I did was glue the card panel onto a 5-inch white card base, and ta-da, the card is done! I really hope this makes you feel excited to try making your own Thanksgiving cards using the Fall Cornucopia Dies.

Merry Christmas Cupcakes

Hi friends, it’s Gemma here and today I’m sharing a card with the fun Christmas Cupcakes stamp set.

Merry Christmas Cupcakes

I stamped out three images from the Christmas Cupcakes stamp set, coloured them with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I love to add sparkle for Christmas, so used liquid glue and loose glitter to add glistening details to each of the cupcakes.

Merry Christmas Cupcakes

Copic Colours:

Tree cupcake wrapper: R22-24, N0-1, Tree cupcake:  G40 G43 G14, Y13-15 Tree: E57, G07 G14 G17 Santa: E00 E11-13 R30 R20 N0-1 Santa hat: R22-27 Gingerbread Man cupcake wrapper: R24 G14 Gingerbread man cake: E40-41 B01 Gingerbread man: E30-33 R24 G14

Merry Christmas Cupcakes

Next, I worked on the background. I used the Stitched Torn Rectangles to die cut two large panels in sparkle red and pearl green card. I also cut the second largest rectangle from white card. On the white card panel. I stamped a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas set.

Next, I offset layered the red and green panels along the longest edge of the white card panel. I needed to cut down the larger panels so I could add this layered detail to both edges.

Merry Christmas Cupcakes

I adhered the layered panels on an A2 landscape card base, then added the Christmas Cupcakes on top with foam strips to finish.

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

Creating 3 Stocking Shaker Cards

Hi everyone! Rebecca Keppel here today with three different shaker cards made with the Stocking Shaker Die.

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

The first card is created in a way that builds the shaker down into the card. The Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads are such fun shaker goodies with a traditional holiday color scheme. For the sentiment, I used the Hot Foil Merry Christmas plates and cut out the foiled sentiment with the Merry Christmas Shadow Dies.

For the second card, I create a stocking shaped card and build the shaker up above the card panel. I used a non traditional Christmas color scheme of light colors and so the Christmas Tree Clay Confetti for inside the shaker. The Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stamp Set has a ton of perfectly sized sentiments and I used one with white heat embossing. These sentiment strips work perfectly with the previously released Sentiment Strips Dies.

Finally the third shaker is an end to end shaker or a rectangular shaker with the Stocking Shaker Die used to create a flat die cut to decorate the shaker window. To create the rectangle shaker frame, I used the stitched rectangle from the Fancy Cake Die. For inside the shaker I used the Christmas Magic Shaker Beads. I love the way the beads move so quickly inside a shaker window!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope these cards inspired you!

Festive Christmas Stocking

Hi there, crafty friends! Leica here, and I’ve got a jolly Christmas shaker card to share with you. I used some dies, stencils, and shaker bits from the Pretty Pink Posh October release.

Festive Christmas Stocking

To kick things off, I used the Jade ink from Pigment Craft Co to color in the Layered Christmas Trees stencils. Then, I added some Finnabair Snowflake Paste to add detail to the tree (it’s the B layer of the set). I decided to skip adding the tree stems.

Next, I made a pink frame using the Fancy Cake dies. I glued a piece of clear plastic on the back and put foam tape all around it to create a well for the shaker part. Then, I filled it up with some Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads. It’s a blast to shake this card with those beads inside!

Festive Christmas Stocking

After that, I put together a stocking using the Build A Stocking dies and filled it with elements from the Holiday Mug Additions dies. The cute little gift is a rectangle from the Build A Stocking Dies and the Stitched Strips dies.

For the words, I used hot foil to make “Merry Christmas” in gold on white cardstock and cut it with the matching Merry Christmas Shadow die. Then, I added some pizzazz by white heat embossing “Merry” on a strip of red cardstock and sticking it onto the card panel with foam.

Finally, I glued the card panel onto a standard A2-sized cardstock, and that wraps up my card.

Festive Christmas Stocking

Thanks a ton for stopping by, and I really hope you enjoy today’s card share. Have a splendid day!
