Hey, friends! It’s Leica here, and I’m super excited to share a fun Halloween shaker card with you, featuring the latest products from Pretty Pink Posh. I’m not a huge Halloween fan, but I absolutely adore crafting, and I’m thrilled that PPP has some not-too-scary Halloween stamps. I’m all about that cute Halloween stuff!

For my card, I started with a pink A2-sized panel and used the Layered Candy Treats Stencils to create a colorful and fun background. I used some Distress Oxide Inks in Broken China, Cracked Pistachio, Dried Marigold, Kitsch Flamingo, Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, and Wilted Violet. To add a touch of sparkle, I splattered some rose gold acrylic paint.

Next, I made a shaker frame using the large die from the Fancy Cake Dies in pink cardstock. This die is my absolute favorite for A2-sized shaker cards because of the lovely stitching detail around the frame. Before finishing up the shaker card, I stamped the sentiment on the acetate panel with Stazon black ink.

Now, for the fun part! I added some Halloween Candy Mix as shaker bits, which I thought was the perfect touch for this yummy shaker card. To make it even more delightful, I stamped, colored, and cut out the adorable cupcakes from the Halloween Cupcakes stamp set. Then, I glued two cupcakes on the sides and foam mounted the one in the middle. Finally, I adhered the card panel onto a white A2-sized card base.

Thanks a bunch for visiting! We’d be thrilled to see your Halloween cards too. Don’t forget to tag #prettypinkposhstamps. Happy crafting!

Hey, friends! It’s Leica here, and I’m thrilled to share a fun Halloween shaker card featuring the new Halloween Mug Additions dies and other awesome items from the August 2023 release.

To start, I created the shaker element by cutting an A2-sized card panel from white cardstock. I added a cool stenciled background using the Layered Argyle Stencils and some Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot, Dried Marigold, and Spiced Marmalade. To make it even more interesting, I splattered some rose gold acrylic paint.

For the shaker frame, I used black glitter cardstock and cut it with the frame die from the Fancy Cake Dies. Inside the shaker, I used the Ghostly Friends Mix for some spooky fun.

Next, I cut out the elements from the Halloween Mug Additions Dies and added color to them using a finger dauber. I used the Mummy Wrap Stencil to give the mug a cool pattern. To add a sentiment, I used the Sentiment Strips: Halloween stamp set and the Sentiment Strips dies. To make it even spookier, I added some spiders cut from purple glitter cardstock. Finally, I glued the card panel onto an A2-sized white cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card share. Thanks a bunch for stopping by and see you next time!

Hey, friends! Leica here and I’m excited to share a fun box card featuring a mix of new and previously-released stamps from PPP. Let’s dive right in!

To start, I cut the Scallop Box Card using white cardstock and stenciled it with the Mummy Wrap Stencil before putting it all together. For the inserts, I blended them with Lost Shadow Distress Oxide ink for a cool effect.

Next, I stamped and colored the adorable images from the Halloween Critters, Halloween Pals, Decorative Pumpkins, and Halloween Signs stamp sets. After that, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and glued them to the inserts of the box card. Oh, my favorite is definitely the bat hanging upside down – so cute!

Lastly, I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Halloween on black cardstock, cut it with the Sentiment Strips and foam mounted it to the front of the box card for some extra dimension.

Thanks a bunch for stopping by and I hope I’ve inspired you to create a box card for Halloween. Have an awesome day! Happy crafting!

Hey, friends! Leica here. Today I’m excited to share a super fun box card filled with the cutest ghosts. I used the new Halloween Signs stamp set, along with the previously-released Ghost Friends stamp set.

To start, I assembled the Scallop Box card using white 80lb cardstock. For the background, sides, and front panels, I added orange watercolor to watercolor paper and stenciled some adorable dots using the Medium Polka Dots Stencil with Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide ink. I then cut the inserts and inked them with Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Ink.

Next, I stamped and colored the adorable ghosts from the Ghost Friends and Halloween Signs stamp sets. After that, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and glued them to the inserts of the box card.

And that’s it! My Halloween box card is complete. Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope I’ve inspired you to create your own box card. Happy crafting!

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today and I’m sharing some cards made with one of my most favorite die sets from this month’s release–the Halloween House. This die is fantastic because it cuts the entire house outline in one piece, and then you can choose how many colors/layers you’d like to add back inside. And I had so much fun doing just that!

The Halloween House die is large and will fill an entire card front.  I wanted to have room for a (somewhat) spooky night scene around the house, so I chose to make a larger 5×7 card. I fully embraced Halloween on this one, and built my card mostly out of different shades of black and grey  For added dimension, I die cut the house outline three times with a shiny black cardstock and glued them together. Then I layered back in a few shades of purple and teal for the windows, door, and shutters.  I love how it makes it look like the house is glowing inside.  

This die set comes with a few extra Halloween images, so I used them to up the spooky cute factor by adding some floating ghosts, magical stars, and a black, sparkly cat. I backed the cat with a white cat slightly offset to create a bit of shadow, which helped him stand out more against this otherwise dark card. 

Next, I set out to finish the scene.  I added a forest of trees behind the house using the tree from the Nature Essentials Dies. The moon is one of the additional dies included in the Halloween House set. Next, I added two trees to the front yard using the Fruit Tree Die. Finally, I layered several of the previously released Spooky Fence Die and added a sign with a greeting from the Sentiment Strips: Halloween stamps and dies.

While this die may be named the Halloween House die, you are definitely not limited to creating just haunted houses.  To show its versatility, I recreated the same card for a different season.   

I pictured gingerbread and fancy sugar cookie houses when I created my Christmas card. To transform the Halloween House, all I did was swap out the colors and trim off the spiderweb from the roof’s eave. I added a glittery bow (cut from the Build A Gift Dies) there instead.  I couldn’t believe how different the house looked with such small changes!

I opted for a simple background and embossed snow using the Snowfall Stencil. Then I repeated the trees in the front yard using the smallest tree in the Pine Trees Dies. I wanted the card to be sugary sweet, so I added glittery snow to the trees, window panes, and roof top. To further decorate the yard, I added a gumdrop walkway and peppermint lollipops using the Candy Treats Dies.

This cute holiday house needed an inviting doorstep, so I added packages using gifts in various sizes from the Village Additions and Happy Santa stamps and dies. I also added a wreath from the Village stamp set to the door. 

Finally, I chose another strip from the Sentiment Strips Dies (love these!) and embossed a sentiment from the Holiday Sentiments stamp set.

What do you think?  I hope you love these houses as much as I do! Thanks so much for joining me today!  

Hello! It’s Lindsey here today and I’m trying to plan ahead with teacher gifts, so I created a little gift bag and tag using the new Halloween release.

I made the gift bag with the previously released Gift Card Bag Dies. This was one of the quickest projects I made!  I love that with just two cuts of the die you can have a darling gift bag in no time. It’s the perfect size for a candy/treat, jewelry, gift card, etc. I used patterned paper to speed the process up even more. I decorated the bag using the Ghost Shaker, Spider Web, and Large Boo Shadow Dies.  

And while those dies were out, I cut the ghost a few more times to use on my tag. This time I made him into an actual shaker.  I used vellum because it felt a little more ghost-ish to me :) and filled it with the new Candy Corn Glass Beads.  This may seem silly, but I LOVE the sound these beads make. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve picked this little ghost up and given him a shake. 

I finished my tag off by simply stamping some little images from the Boo to You stamp set. 

I’m so glad you joined me today. I hope I’ve inspired you and look forward to seeing what you create with this fabulous new release!

Hi, crafty friends! Leica here and I’m excited to share a Halloween shaker card using the new Halloween Mug Addition Dies. I’m absolutely in love with the Winter Mug Dies and all the additions that were previously-released. And this Halloween set is no exception!

To start, I created a 5-inch square background for my shaker by using the Layered Argyle Stencils on purple cardstock. I used some Distress Oxide inks like Black Soot and Wilted Violet. Then, I cut a square frame from white glitter cardstock and added acetate and foam tape around it to create the shaker well. Inside the shaker, I added some Halloween Candy Mix, and I also colored some of the small dies from the Halloween Mug Additions dies with copic markers before tossing them in.

Next, I cut the mug from the Winter Mug Dies and added the Frankenstein elements from the Halloween Mug Additions Dies. I ink blended them with Distress Oxide inks and glued the mug to the front of the card panel. For the sentiment, I cut the word “spooky” from the Spooky Wishes Shadow dies in black glitter cardstock and the shadow in orange cardstock. Then, I stamped “greetings” on a strip of light pink cardstock and glued it to the card panel. Finally, I glued the card panel onto a 5-inch square white card base.

That’s it for my shaker card. I hope I’ve inspired you to create some shaker cards with the Halloween Mug Additions Dies. The small dies are perfect for shaker bits, and you can customize the colors using markers or inks.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy crafting!
