Whimsical Fall Bouquet

Hello, Gemma here with a beautiful sunflower bouquet card, using the new Fall Jar stamp set.

Whimsical Fall Bouquet

I began by stamping out the images from the Fall Jar stamp set with Memento rich cocoa ink. I like using this ink for a softer look, and it works especially well with autumnal images.

Copic markers: Jar: BG70 BG11; Wheat: YR31 YR23; Sunflowers: Y13-15 Y35 E43-47; Acorn: E30-37; Leaves: YG61-67, R22-24 YR14 YR23, Y17 YR24; Mouse: W0-3 R00 R30 R20; Ribbon: R32-35; Butterfly: R00 R30-35 E74; Tag: N0-1

Whimsical Fall Bouquet

I coloured everything in with copic markers, then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Over the jar and sunflowers, I spritzed a clear sparkle spray. This is so pretty in real life but almost impossible to capture on camera. There are sentiments included in the Fall Jar stamp set, but I chose one from the previously released Spring Jar stamp set instead.

Whimsical Fall Bouquet

I arranged all the images and then attached them to the jar, using either liquid glue or foam tape.
Next, I worked on the background. I used the new Layered Fall Wreath stencils. There are two layers in this stencil, and I just used the same Scattered Straw distress oxide ink on both layers. This gives a lovely tone on tone look, which compliments the other colours on the card.

Whimsical Fall Bouquet

I flicked the card with gold perfect pearls then, once dry, die cut it with the largest die in the Stitched Torn Rectangles set.

I adhered the panel to an A2 card base, followed by the fall jar images. I finished by adding some white gel pen highlights.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope this card inspired you.

Mixing Old & New Fall Stamps

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a mix of older and new Fall themed stamps! I love that the new products work so well with previously released stamps so you can bring in what you already have in your crafty stash with your new products.

Mixing Old & New Fall Stamps

As always, we’re starting with our stenciling because I’ll be using some stenciling paste and I want to make sure our background has plenty of time to dry. I used a panel of woodgrain cardstock trimmed to 4×5.25” and blended on Ground Espresso Distress Ink through the Deco Leaves Stencil. When I was happy with the color, I cleaned off the stencil and added some stencil paste – this one is called Overheated Solar Paste.

Mixing Old & New Fall Stamps

While the background is drying, I stamped the images I wanted to use from the Autumn Wreath stamp set and Fall Jar stamp set with a brown ink that is alcohol marker friendly using a MISTI. I used my Ohuhu Art Markers to color them in and then put them back in the MISTI to stamp the images again with Pinecone VersaFine Clair. Since I kept the stamps in the same spot, I now have a vibrant, brown outline to all of my images and I just LOVE how they look.

Mixing Old & New Fall Stamps

I used the Autumn Wreath coordinating dies and Fall Jar coordinating dies to cut out all of my images and by now my background is dry and we’re ready to assemble. I added the background with a tape runner to the center of my A2 card base in white cardstock. I glued down my wreath with liquid adhesive and added my jar with foam adhesive. I layered in the rest of the images with a mix of liquid adhesive and foam adhesive to give everything some dimension!

Mixing Old & New Fall Stamps

I’m so ready for Fall to get here! I’m pretending with my crafting and drinking Pumpkin Spice Latte, but these images are just so perfect for the upcoming season. I hope you liked this card and remember to check out the video to see all the details of the card come together!

Fall Cornucopia + Video

This is part of the Instagram Hop. If you’d like to hop along for more inspiration and a chance to win a gift card, visit us on the Pretty Pink Posh Instagram account.

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog and today I’m sharing a card using the new Fall Cornucopia die set with you all.

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

I used the Fall Cornucopia die set. This die set includes the basket and lots of fruits and vegetables to add to the basket. I die cut all of the pieces and added some ink to edges to add depth. 

Fall Cornucopia + Video

For the background of my card, I used the Layered Foliage Stencils. This stencil consists of fall leaves. I added a light brown ink to the stencil and then added the same ink to the edges of the cardstock. I wanted a very subtle background since the cornucopia would be the focal point of the card. 

Fall Cornucopia + Video

For the sentiment, I used the Sentiment Strips – Fall stamp set and die cut it with the coordinating Sentiment Strips dies.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great day!

Autumn Acorn Critters

This is part of the Instagram Hop. If you’d like to hop along for more inspiration and a chance to win a gift card, visit us on the Pretty Pink Posh Instagram account.

Welcome everyone. This is Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook. I’m excited to be here to share a card I created using the new Acorn Shaker dies and those adorable Cozy Fall Critters. Today’s card is a 5×7 card so that I could fit all three acorns on it without cutting too much off the edge. If you don’t like making large cards, you could reflect the design with only two acorns on a standard A2 card and it would be cute as can be!

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Acorn Critters

I started with the acorns first. I inked up a couple white panels with the new Deco Leaves stencil, then traced the acorn shaker die and cut them out. Then I cut the pieces for my acorns with kraft and brown cardstock. Next, I stamped and colored critters from Cozy Fall Critters, then cut them out with the coordinating dies. I used liquid glue to assemble the layers together and then trimmed off any excess from the stenciled panels and my critters.

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Acorn Critters

I created a white 5×7 inch card base and also trimmed a piece of teal cardstock to 4.75 x 6.75 inches. I inked the edges with peacock feathers and gathered twigs distress oxide inks and splattered the panel with water. After blotting it dry, I added foam tape to the back and adhered it to my card base.

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Acorn Critters

Next, I positioned my acorns on the card front and used liquid glue to adhere them to each other. After letting it dry for a minute, I flipped them over and added foam tape to the back of them. I tied some jute twine around the left side of my card and then placed my acorns on the front.

Pretty Pink Posh: Autumn Acorn Critters

Last, I stamped a sentiment from Autumn Pumpkins and die cut it using the coordinating die. Then I added a scattering of espresso confetti bits around the design. A few other finishing touches were adding black glaze pen to the critter’s eyes and glossy accents their noses.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Fox In A Mug Box Card

This is part of the Instagram Hop. If you’d like to hop along for more inspiration and a chance to win a gift card, visit us on the Pretty Pink Posh Instagram account.

Hey crafty pals! Leica here with a cool box card to share. I had this idea of fitting the Winter Mug into the Scallop Box Card, and guess what? It totally worked, and I’m beyond thrilled!

Fox In A Mug Box Card

So, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty. I grabbed some Sage green cardstock and cut out the box card. I assembled the box and added in three inserts and jazzed things up with dies from the Fall Cornucopia and Fall Mug Additions Dies. I used Spellbinders cardstock for all those awesome dies. How adorable is that little fox peeking out of the mug, by the way? And speaking of the mug, I added a sweet design using the Deco Leaves Stencil and some Glacier White Ranges Pigment Ink.

Fox In A Mug Box Card

Now, here comes the fun part. I used the Fall Mug Additions dies and Fall Cornucopia dies to cut out various shapes in different cardstock colors. I glued these on the inserts, creating the cutest autumn scene you ever did see.

Next up, I used hot foil to make the Thankful Script shine, cut it with the Thankful Shadow, and glued it on the front of the box card. Then I added “for you” in white heat embossing on a black cardstock strip and glued it neatly under the Thankful script.

Fox In A Mug Box Card

And that’s a wrap on my box card adventure. I’m hoping you’ll give this all-dies-on-a-box-card thing a try and create your very own autumn wonderland. It might even be a hit with the little ones! Happy crafting, everyone!

Sunflower Birthday

Hello, Gemma here today with a card featuring the sunflower dies from the new Fall Mug Additions and Fall Cornucopia die sets. As the sunflowers in these sets are different sizes, they work really well together.

Pretty Pink Posh: Sunflower Birthday

For both sizes of sunflower, I die cut two layers for the petals, from different yellow card pieces. I die cut the centres from pearl brown sparkle card, then adhered the pieces together with liquid glue.

I die cut leaves from two different green card pieces, using a die in the Fall Mug Additions die set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Sunflower Birthday

Next, I die cut two Stitched Strips in dark blue and yellow. I took a panel of striped blue patterned paper, cut to 5.25 x 2.75”. I adhered the sunflowers and leaves, cutting away any overhanging pieces. I then adhered the patterned paper and stitched strips to a 5.25” square card base.

Pretty Pink Posh: Sunflower Birthday

For the sentiment, I stamped the word ‘wishes’ from the Birthday Scripts stamp set, using faded jeans distress oxide ink. I covered the ink with WOW Neutral Ultra Shimmer embossing powder, then heat embossed the word. I die cut it with the coordinating die, and added two extra layers behind for dimension.

I stamped another sentiment from the Birthday Scripts stamp set on the card base, then added the embossed die cut word underneath to finish.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope this card inspired you.

Day 3: September Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE //  If you missed Day 2 CLICK HERE

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m so happy to share with you this lovely autumn card showcasing the Fall Jar stamp set and Layered Fall Wreath stencils, two brand new items from the Fall 2023 release.

I started off by stamping the images from Fall Jar on Transotype perfect coloring paper using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and then colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph’it brush markers.

I like to create small clusters of images on my cards, so among all the new products, this stamp set is my favorite because it includes many individual images, which allowed me to make clusters around the jar to frame it nicely. And to color everything, I chose an orange + yellow + brown + khaki green + turquoise color palette, which is one of my favorite color combos for the Fall season.

Next I used the Layered Fall Wreath stencils and some oxide inks to create a beautiful autumn background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel. Here are the oxide inks I used: mustard seed, peacock feathers, spiced marmalade, peeled paint, candied apple and vintage photo. Next I mixed a little bit of ground espresso oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on the panel, and I did the same with white ink.

I set the panel aside to dry, and cut a slightly smaller one out of vellum. I attached all the images on the vellum panel using foam squares, and then stuck my vellum panel on the kraft panel, making the glue invisible by adding dots of liquid glue at the back of the vellum panel, behind the images.

Finally I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and attached my panel to an A2-sized kraft card base. And that’s it! I hope that my card will inspire you to use small images to create your own clusters of images.

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. We are giving away 3 $30 gift certificates to three random comments (1 winner each day) left before September 19, 2023 at 11:59 PM PST. I’ll be announcing the winners next week, so be sure to return and see if you are one of the winners.

Day 2: September Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here and I’m excited to share a card with you today that combines several of my favorite things. First up is the amazing new Acorn Shaker Die. I love all the shaker dies because of their larger size and because they look fantastic even if you choose not to fill them. I also happen to have a special fondness for acorns, so this die made me smile from the moment I saw it. 

One acorn certainly wouldn’t suffice, so I created a stack of them on a slimline card using a few of my favorite colors.  Then I added one word to each acorn using the Thankful For You Script Dies.  

For my background, I die cut several of the leaves from the Falling Leaves coordinating dies in the same color as my card base. This added texture and interest but in a non-competing way.  

Once I had all my acorns stacked up, I tucked in a little vellum and cream foliage from the new Fall Mug Additions Dies and the Fall Foliage Dies (a long-time favorite of mine). I added a touch of Matte Gold Confetti Mix (because I can’t stop using it!) and my card was complete.

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. We are giving away 3 $30 gift certificates to three random comments (1 winner each day) left before September 19, 2023 at 11:59 PM PST. I’ll be announcing the winners next week, so be sure to return and see if you are one of the winners.

Hey, friends! Leica here with a Thanksgiving card to share. I’m so excited about how this turned out, and I got to use the latest stencils and dies from Pretty Pink Posh.

Day 1: September Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

To get started, I cut a 5-inch square white cardstock. I used some inks and the Layered Woodland Stencils to make a fall-themed background. The inks I used are Antique Linen, Dried Marigold, Mowed Lawn, Ripe Persimmon, Twisted Citron, and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks.

Next up, I used the Winter Mug Dies to cut out a mug shape from cream cardstock. I added a nice pattern to it using the Deco Leaves Stencil and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink. For the other elements, I used the Fall Mug Additions and Fall Cornucopia Dies, cutting them from various colored cardstock from Spellbinders.

Day 1: September Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

I stamped a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set and used a scallop rectangle die from the Sentiment Strips Dies to cut it out.

To make things stand out, I added a vellum layer between the die-cut elements and the background. This softens the background and makes the elements pop and stand out. Lastly, I glued the card panel onto a 5-inch square card base.
