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.

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.

Day 1: September Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

Day 1: September Blog Hop + New Release Now Available

The September 2023 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post yesterday, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Mindy has that for you today!

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

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.

Sneak Peek: September 2023 Dies

Hello, friends! It’s Lindsey and I’m happy to be giving you a peek of some of the new dies releasing this month.  I was super excited to see two new shaker dies–the Pumpkin Shaker and the Acorn Shaker. If you were a fan of the Stitched Pumpkin Dies last month, you are going to love the Pumpkin Shaker. It is the exact same style, just larger in scale and with the added option of cutting out the centers to make it a shaker. I decided to make it into a little shaped card.  It’s about 3″x3.5″ in size.  

New release will be available September 12th

Sneak Peek: September 2023 Dies

I die cut the Pumpkin Shaker several times. Then, I blended ink in three different colors onto the shaker negatives and gave them a good spritz. After inserting them back in, I filled my shaker with the new Matte Gold Confetti Mix. (I can’t get enough of the confetti mixes! You’ll love them!)

Sneak Peek: September 2023 Dies

I jazzed the pumpkin stem up a bit by using woodgrain paper. I kinda love it. :) Then, I added a sentiment using the Sentiment Strips Dies and the new Sentiment Strips: Fall Stamps, both of which are must-haves in my opinion. They are a fabulous addition to anyone’s collection! 

Sneak Peek: September 2023 Dies

If you were wondering if the mug addition lineup is continuing, the answer is yes! Welcome Fall Mug Additions! This new set is full of all things warm and cozy and will be wonderful for your fall and winter crafting.  

Sneak Peek: September 2023 Dies

I kept my Winter Mug simple, spraying it with grey and silver, and then adding a knitted mug cozy from the new Fall Mug Additions. I used the filler die (from the Winter Mug Dies) to add some cider and tucked in the new cinnamon sticks. They are my favorite! 

Sneak Peek: September 2023 Dies

I spritzed a light peach shimmery spray onto my card base and topped it with two of the Leaf Frame Dies, placing one upward and one downward, so they would cover the entire card base. Then following the slight curve of the leaves, I added “cozy days” from the Fall Mug Additions Dies.  

Sneak Peek: September 2023 Dies

To complete the sentiment, I added “Wishing You” from the Holiday Sentiments stamp set. The final touch was a little sprinkle of the new Matte Gold Confetti Mix.

Sneak Peek: September 2023 Dies

Last, but certainly not least, are the new Fall Cornucopia Dies. This set comes with a large, two piece cornucopia and LOTS of fillers. I used most of them on my card and also added an apple from last year’s Fall Basket Dies.  

Sneak Peek: September 2023 Dies

I have found the easiest way to create with sets like these is to die cut all the dies several times, so you have lots of pieces to work with. I did some simple ink blending and assembled all my pieces.  I recently saw some pumpkins at the store with gold stems. I loved the bit of glam that added, so I did the same on my card. Once everything was ready to go, I got to work filling the cornucopia to overflowing with all the fall goodness.  

Sneak Peek: September 2023 Dies

The sentiment is another new die, the Thankful Shadow Dies, and it is lovely! And if you look closely, you’ll also see a peek of the new Deco Leaves Stencil on my card base. 

That wraps up today’s sneak peeks, but there are a few more fabulous dies releasing this month, so keep you eyes peeled and make sure to come back tomorrow to see a preview of the whole release in picture form!

Sneak Peek: September 2023 Stencils

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a little peek at two new stencils: Deco Leaves Stencil and Layered Fall Wreath Stencils. These new 6×6 stencils are going to really step up your Autumn themed projects so let’s jump right in and take a look!

New release will be available September 12th

My first card is using the Deco Leaves Stencil and I just love this simple but beautiful design! It reminds me of a warm sweater or scarf when it starts to get chilly outside. I used Antique Linen Distress Oxide onto kraft cardstock to create this background with a foam blending tool.

For the card, I cut it with the largest Stitched Torn Rectangles Die and layered it with a dark red cardstock onto my card base. I cut mushrooms and leaves from the Fall Mug Additions Dies and colored them with alcohol markers. I layered them with my Thankful Script Hot Foil Plate sentiment that was cut with the coordinating Thankful Shadow Die, as well as my stamped sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Fall Stamp Set and Sentiment Strips Dies. Some final touches of liquid embellishments in a vanilla color were added to match the ink of the stenciled background!

For the Layered Fall Wreath Stencils, I wanted to go a little non-traditional in my colors. I stenciled the leaves with the A layer in different colors of Distress Oxide onto a cream colored cardstock. I used Saltwater Taffy, Speckled Egg, Tea Dye and Vintage Photo with foam blending tools. For the leaf details of the B layer, I used some brown stencil paste which gives the background some subtle texture.

When the background was dry, I trimmed it to be slightly smaller than A2 and glued it to my card base. Then I made an Acorn Shaker from shimmery brown and rose gold cardstock and filled it with Espresso Confetti.

I wanted to add in some cute images from the Fall Jar Stamp Set, so I stamped a few out on cream colored cardstock in a brown ink and colored them in with alcohol markers. I used the Fall Jar Coordinating Dies to cut them out and attached them to the top of my acorn. I added a few more Espresso Confetti pieces around my card for some extra shimmery fun.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of these new stencils; you’re absolutely going to love the rest of the release. I’m so ready for sweater weather with these new products!

Sneak Peek: Fall Jar

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here! I’m super excited to share this sneak peek using the new Fall Jar Stamps and coordinating dies. I’m so ready for fall! I absolutely adore everything about fall and all the images from this stamp set are perfect to share some fall goodness. Let’s get started!

New release will be available September 12th

Sneak Peek: Fall Jar

For my first card I stamped and colored the images from the Fall Jar stamps with an array of different alcohol markers from my crafty realm. The images are so cute, I especially adore the little mouse. For the jar I used the negative from die cutting to do some light ink blending, diy stencil.

Sneak Peek: Fall Jar

For my background I used a beautiful new stencil set called Layered Woodland and it’s gorgeous. I did partial stenciling, it’s a four-piece stencil but I only used two of the stencils and did some random stenciling aka partial stenciling. I added some light ink blending to warm up the background and added some fun splatters in the top left corner and lower right corner. I wanted to add more red to go with the cute mushrooms, I decided to use the new Fall Mug Additions die set to add some red berries.

Sneak Peek: Fall Jar

I arranged all images from the Fall Jar stamp set onto my background and decided I needed a resting place for the Jar and florals. I used the new Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies cut from vellum and it was perfect. To finish the card, I added the frame from the Fancy Cake Dies and added some of the new Espresso Confetti Mix, ta-da card was done!

Sneak Peek: Fall Jar

For my second card I wanted to make a wreath with the adorable images from the Fall Jar Stamp set with coordinating dies, I love making wreaths. For the base of my wreath, I used the Leafy Spring Wreath Stamps and coordinating dies. I adhered my images to the wreath for some dimension and added a twine bow to the wreath.

Sneak Peek: Fall Jar

I wanted a fun bold background and decided to use the new Layered Fall Wreath Stencil, oh this stencil is gorgeous. I used several yellows, oranges, and reds from the Distress Oxide family. I absolutely love how this turned out, to finish the background I added some splatters. My wreath blended into the background, I decided to add the large Stitched Torn Rectangles die cut out of vellum to the background.

Sneak Peek: Fall Jar

To finish the card, I used the new Sentiment Strips: Fall stamps with the Sentiment Strips Dies that came out last release!

The new release is phenomenal! It’s chock full of lots of FALL goodness! Come back tomorrow for another sneak peek.

Sneak Peek: Autumn Pumpkins

Happy Fall, everyone! This is Melissa and I’m here to kick off sneak peeks of the upcoming release. Today I have couple of cards made with the sweet Autumn Pumpkins stamp set and coordinating dies.  

New release will be available September 12th

I created pink pumpkins on my first card, using my favorite paper-piecing technique. The Autumn Pumpkins set is perfect for those of you who enjoy coloring in your images, or if you’re like me and love paper-piecing, they’re perfect for that too.

I adore the tiny squash in this set and stacked one on top of my darling pumpkins.  In the background, I have used the new Layered Fall Wreath Stencils. This is one of my most favorite stencils from this release…it’s beautiful.  I have also used the Stitched Torn Rectangles dies to die cut my background.

My sentiment is from the new Thankful Shadow die, and I accented my Autumn Pumpkins with the tiny sunflower and bow from the darling Fall Jar stamp set.

My next card uses more of the sweet Autumn Pumpkins, but this time I used my alcohol markers to add color. I used Distress Spray to add splatters to my pumpkins and background as well.

The Stitched Torn Rectangles dies were used once again to build my card. These are quickly becoming a favorite of mine.  The base layer was stenciled using the new Deco Leaves stencil. This adorable stencil reminds me of corn on the cob and wheat and I love it!

I sponged ink over my top Stitched Torn Rectangle layer and added a die cut sentiment from the Autumn Pumpkins stamp set and coordinating dies. I added a few falling leaves to embellish around the sentiment and accented with adhesive gems to bring in a little sparkle.

Thanks so much for joining me! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the upcoming release!

Mini Halloween Notecards

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video with some cute mini notecards for Halloween! I love the idea of having something non-treat related for the holiday and these tiny shaker cards are perfect for such occasions.

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

Mini Halloween Notecards

Before starting the video, I cut my Mini Scallop Card Dies with some orangey-pink cardstock and made shaker frames with black cardstock and a generic nested square that fit nicely inside the stitched square in the die set. I start with making the background since it needs the most time to dry. Using white cardstock, I stenciled the Spooky Sky Stencils with Distress Oxides (Lost Shadow for the clouds and Black Soot for the bats) and stencil paste. I used yellow to make the stars pop!

Mini Halloween Notecards

While the background was drying, I stamped and colored my Halloween Signs stamp set images with alcohol markers. I used the Halloween Signs coordinating dies to cut them out. With black ink, I stamped different sentiments into the signs and they are just the cutest! My background was dry enough so I splattered on some purple metallic watercolor and trimmed them down to just slightly smaller than 2.5×2.5”.

Mini Halloween Notecards

I assembled the shaker panels with acetate and thick foam tape, you can see each step in today’s video! I then adhered the panel to my orangey-pink mini cards as well as white square on the inside with a Halloween sentiment stamped in purple.

I hope you like these mini notecards and they inspire you to make some cute mini cards for Halloween!

Halloween Boo Shaker

Hey, friends! Leica here. Today I’m excited to share a Halloween shaker card using a mix of new and previously-released Pretty Pink Posh products. Let’s jump right in!

Halloween Boo Shaker

To start, I created a cute A2-sized background by applying orange watercolor on watercolor cardstock. Once it dried, I stenciled the adorable Layered 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.

Halloween Boo 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!

Halloween Boo Shaker

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope I’ve inspired you to have fun with your stash and mix new and previously-released products, just like the stencils and sequins I used for my card.

Happy crafting!
