Autumn Theme Week: Day 4

Hi Friends! It is Melody here on the blog today for another day of the Autumn Theme Week. My card is created with a mix of Pretty Pink Posh products, both new and previously released. Let’s get started! 

Save 15% on all items in our Thanksgiving section during theme week!

One of my favorite new products from the Fall Release is the Fall Jar Stamp Set. There are a variety of different stamps to fill the jar and create different scenes. I started by stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloring with Copic Markers. Then I die cut the images with the Fall Jar Coordinating Dies.

I added twine around the top of the jar and added the tag with a stamped sentiment from the Fall Jar Stamp Set. Next I stenciled the green cardstock with the Deco Leaves Stencil. I added a panel of vellum die cut with the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies. The vellum helps the stamped images stand out from the background but still lets the pattern show through. 

On the bottom portion of the card I stamped the Fall Borders Stamp Set with Kraft Ink on Kraft cardstock. To separate the patterns I added a strip of cardstock die cut with the Stitched Strips Dies and border die cut with the Eyelet Borders Dies

I finished off the card with a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Fall Stamp Set and a few Metallic Gold Jewels.

Thanks so much for joining me today.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 3

Autumn Theme Week: Day 3

Hello crafty friends, Davina here to share so fun autumn inspiration. Pretty Pink Posh always has the prettiest fall themed products and I pulled together some of my favorites for you. There are several layered leaf stencil sets, and I gathered together a newly released stencil to use as the background for my scene. 

Autumn Theme Week: Day 3

I started this fall card by inking the Layered Fall Wreath stencil onto the largest Eyelet Rectangle layer. I used shades of yellow, coral, orange, brown and even green for these leaves. I splattered the panel with brown and gold ink and put aside to dry. Next, I die cut the super cute Acorn Shaker Die from creamy cardstock, and inked it with several shades of brown. The large layered mushroom from the Fall Mug Additions is one of my favorite dies, with that fancy little ruffle. I colored it in shades of cream and coral, then added some splashy details. 

Autumn Theme Week: Day 3

The main accent of this scene are the two sweet birds that are also inked die cuts. I cut two of the birds from the Stitched Birds dies, and used the residual ink on my brushes to gently add some color to these cuties. After adding some small copic details, I assembled the pieces. 

Autumn Theme Week: Day 3

I adhered all of my die cut pieces to the stenciled background, then added a stamped sentiment from Autumn Pumpkins to the center. I loved the look of the crisp brown lines so I decided to stamp a few leaves from the same stamp set, and tucked them around the scene. I finished this off with a sprinkling of sequins from the Matte Gold Confetti Mix.

I just love how all of the products from Pretty Pink Posh mix so well together, it makes so easy to put together beautiful cards no matter what your crafty style is. Thank you for dropping by!

Autumn Theme Week: Day 1

Autumn Theme Week: Day 1

Hi friends! It’s Stefanie here today kicking off Autumn Theme Week and I’ve created a cute pumpkin shaker on a simple stamped background to share with you!

Save 15% on all items in our Thanksgiving section during theme week!

Autumn Theme Week: Day 1

To create the card, I started by using the Pumpkin Shaker Dies and die cut the outline of the pumpkin 6 times on white cardstock. I stacked them together using liquid adhesive and sandwiched some acetate between the top 2 layers to create a shaker window.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 1

I filled the shaker with a combination of the gorgeous Matte Gold Confetti Mix and Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix. Then I sealed off the back of the pumpkin shaker with cardstock that I ink blended evenly with Concord and 9th’s Marmalade orange.

The stem and leaf at the top of the shaker are also from the Pumpkin Shaker Dies, but this time I only used single layer die cuts. I ink blended the stem and leaf using Concord and 9th’s Wheat and Sprout colored inks, respectively and adhered them behind the pumpkin shaker.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 1

Now that the shaker was complete, I moved on to create the background. I wanted the pumpkin shaker to be a bright focal point and opted for a simple stamped background using the cutest mini stamps from the Fall Jar stamp set. I stamped them all out using Pumice Stone distress oxide for a soft and subtle look.

Autumn Theme Week: Day 1

The pumpkin shaker was then adhered directly onto the background and I propped up a sentiment underneath. The sentiment is from Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set, embossed in white on a banner from the Sentiment Strip Dies which I colored brown using Copic marker E44.

And finally the card is finished! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like how my card turned out!

Tree Cover Plate in Three Different Ways

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today and I’m sharing three cards and three ways that I used the new Tree Cover Plate from Pretty Pink Posh. I’m going to be using some holographic silver and gold cardstock to get a beautiful shine on my cards. 

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

The Tree Cover Plate die is the size of an A2 size card (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”). There are nine Christmas trees that have beautiful stitched designs on them. You can take the Christmas trees out of the die cut or leave them in the die cut for a different look.

Tree Cover Plate in Three Different Ways

I die cut the Tree Cover Plate from white cardstock and then die cut it two more times using Holographic mirror paper in gold and silver. This gave me a total of three cover plate die cuts. I removed all of the Christmas trees from all three die cuts and set them aside.

For my first card, I glued the white Tree Cover Plate die cut shape onto an A2 card base and then added the silver and gold Christmas trees to all of the openings on the cover plate. I added dimensional foam to the back of the Christmas trees to give them dimension. I added a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set and used the coordinating dies to cut out the sentiment. 

Tree Cover Plate in Three Different Ways

For my second card, I added the gold Tree Cover Plate die cut shape onto an A2 card base and then added five of the white Christmas trees (from the white Tree Cover Plate) to the openings. For this card, I glued the white Christmas trees flat to the card and then added the sentiment with dimensional foam to pop it up.

Tree Cover Plate in Three Different Ways

For my third card, I used the silver Tree Cover Plate die cut shape and turned it into a shaker card! Be sure to watch my video to see how I made the shaker. I used the Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads for the shaker.

I love how you can get so many different looks from just one die! Thank you for stopping by today!

Boo Ghosts Shaker

Hey, friends! Leica here. Halloween is quickly approaching and I wanted to share a fun and easy Halloween shaker card using a mix of Pretty Pink Posh products. Let’s jump right in!

Pretty Pink Posh: Boo Ghosts Shaker

To start, I created a cute A2-sized background by applying orange watercolor on watercolor cardstock. Once it dried, I stenciled the adorable ghosts in Lost Shadow Distress Oxide. For their faces, I used Black Soot, and Wilted Violet for the stars. To make the shaker, I cut a frame from teal glitter cardstock, added acetate, and foam tape around it to create the shaker well. Inside, I used a combination of Spooky Glass Beads and 4MM Summer Sequins Mix as shaker bits.

Pretty Pink Posh: Boo Ghosts Shaker

Since I wanted the ghosts to remain visible, I only added sentiments to the front of the card. I cut the word “boo” from the Large Boo Shadow in black glitter cardstock and the shadow die in vellum. For the sub-sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Sentiment Strips: Halloween stamp set and cut it using a rectangle scallop die from the Sentiment Strips. Finally, I glued the card panel onto an A2-sized white cardstock, and voila, my card is complete!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope I’ve inspired you to have fun with your stash. Happy crafting!

One Stamp Set, Three Different Ways + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video making three cards – they all have a similar layout, but they’re for a different holiday! The new Holiday Trees Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies make beautiful Christmas cards, but they’re also great for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

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

I started with hot foiling all three of my sentiments with Satin Metallic Hot Foil and the Large Boo, Thankful Script, and Merry Christmas Hot Foil Plates. I used the shadow dies from the Large Boo, Thankful, and Merry Christmas Shadow Dies to cut each of them out. Next I cut out the second largest Eyelet Rectangles Die out of white, kraft and black cardstock.

For my backgrounds, I have a piece of pink, yellow, and mint blue cardstocks A2 in size. I used the Deco Leaves Stencil to add in a subtle background with Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold, and Evergreen Bough Distress Inks respectively. I also added some ink to the edges of the background and used Distress Mica for some beautiful splatter.

While my backgrounds were drying, I started stamping out my trees from the Holiday Trees stamp set for each of my cards. I used four different colors per card and you can see how I stamp each set of trees in today’s video. The Halloween card uses Distress Inks in Milled Lavender, Saltwater Taffy, and Spiced Marmalade as well as Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink. The Thanksgiving card uses Distress Inks in Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw, and Vintage Photo as well as Fallen Leaves VersaFine Clair Ink Pad. Finally, the Christmas card uses Distress Inks in Evergreen Bough, Kitsch Flamingo, and Salvaged Patina as well as Warm Breeze VersaFine Clair Ink Pad. When all the stamping was done, I used the Holiday Trees coordinating dies to cut them out.

I assembled each of the cards together similarly as you can watch in today’s video. The Eyelet Rectangles are adhered to the center of the background with foam adhesive, the Holiday Trees added with liquid adhesive and foiled sentiments with foam adhesive. For some final touches I added Purple Shimmer, Espresso, and Strawberry Shimmer Confetti Mixes for some extra shine!

I hope today’s cards bring you inspiration for all kinds of holidays and I would love to know what other holidays you think this layout could also work for… Maybe you’ll see more holidays from me with these trees!

Holiday Birds Scene

Hi there, crafty friends! It’s Leica, and I’ve got a cozy square Christmas card to share using dies and a stencil from the new October release.

Pretty Pink Posh: Holiday Birds Scene

First, I grabbed a white card panel that’s 5 inches square. I made a pretty background using the Layered Winter Wreath and some green inks from Pigment Craft Co. To make things interesting, I added some splatters of gold paint.

Pretty Pink Posh: Holiday Birds Scene

Next, I put together a birdhouse using the Decorative Birdhouses dies from before. I glued it onto the card panel and added some Christmas trees from the Love From Afar dies. Then, I made a couple of cute birds using the new Holiday Birds dies. I gave them a little lift by sticking them on the card panel. I also included some greenery from the Holiday Mug Additions dies and a sweet little flower from the Winter Foliage dies.

Pretty Pink Posh: Holiday Birds Scene

For the sentiment, I cut out “Happy Holidays” in gold cardstock and the shadow in vellum. Finally, I glued the card panel onto a 5-inch square card base.

Thanks a bunch for hanging out with me today! Have a blast with your crafting!

Festive Jolly Stockings

Hello, Gemma here today with a card using one of my favourites from the October release – the Build a Stocking die set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Festive Jolly Stockings

I love that there are so many different looks that can be created with the Build a Stocking die set. Change the colours, add some sparkle, switch the stocking toppers….so many possibilities! I decided on a colour palette of pink and navy, with gold sparkle accents.

Pretty Pink Posh: Festive Jolly Stockings

There are backing layer dies for each of the size stockings, then decorative layers to add over the top. As it’s difficult to adhere anything on top of glitter card, for the spotty stocking I cut it from both navy and gold glitter card, so I could inlay the gold glitter spots. You could skip this step if layering over something non-glitter.

To add glitter stripes to the light pink stocking, I first adhered some double sided tape to the stocking, then covered with gold glitter.

Pretty Pink Posh: Festive Jolly Stockings

On a 5.25” square card base, I adhered a piece of ivory speckled card, slightly smaller than the card base to give a border. On this, I stamped a sentiment from the new Holiday Stockings stamp set, using a brown ink. Next, I added some white glitter foliage, cut using the previously released Pine Sprigs die set.

Finally, I added the three stockings using some foam tape for dimension.

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