I like to arrange my images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card face to help me decide on placement before I commit and adhere everything in place. It’s also easy to pick up the entire design and layer it over different backgrounds to choose which one I like best.
I stamped the sentiment in the center of a Scallop Oval Frame and then arranged the watermelon, slices and leaves around the frame.
I decided on a stitched zig zag border in watermelon shades of ombre red and green. I love theStacked Edges series of dies because they make quick detailed backgrounds in a snap. The die cut borders fit together like puzzle pieces so the finished background is smooth and flat.
The finishing touch is a sprinkle of Lime Shimmer Confetti. They shine like juicy dewdrops!
Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Leica, and I’m excited to share a fun card with you today using the Fruit Mug Additions Dies. I decided to create a card featuring my favorite cocktail, the Paloma. It’s a refreshing mix of grapefruit and Tequila. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend it if you enjoy cocktails. But for now, let’s dive into the card!
To start, I used a A2-sized white card base and inked it up with some pretty colors using the Layered Citrus Stencils and Distress Oxide Inks in Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo. This stencil makes it super easy to create a fun background.
Next, I used the Winter Mug Dies to cut out the shape of a mug and created a shaker element by adding a window with the Fruit Mug Additions Dies. I turned the mug into a short glass by removing the handle. To make the shaker, I attached a clear plastic sheet to the back of the mug, just below the rim. Make sure the plastic stays below the rim so you can add a stirrer or straw. I added foam around the mug’s frame to create space for the shaker, and I filled it with Ballerina Pink and Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix. To make it more realistic, I cut out grapefruit slices from pink cardstock and glued them onto the card, including one on the rim of the glass. For a finishing touch, I added salt around the rim using Diamond Dust and used Nuvo Crystal Drops as glue.
Before attaching the mug to the card, I added a sheet of vellum to create a softer background.
For the sentiment, I used teal foil to hot foilthe “Friend” script and cut it out using the Friend Shadow Dies. I absolutely love that PPP now offers hot foil scripts. They add a special and fun detail to my cards. I also heat embossed a sub-sentiment on a strip of black cardstock and mounted it below the glass using foam tape. To add some extra sparkle and interest, I included some Sunshine Pearls.
I hope you like my card! I had so much fun creating it. You could say I had a Happy Hour in my craft room. Teehee!
Hello friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today sharing some watermelon themed cards using products from Pretty Pink Posh’s June 2023 release. Watermelon cards are perfect year round, but I especially love them for the upcoming summer months. You can use them for friendship cards, thank you cards, and more!
I stamped the images from the Watermelon stamp set onto Bristol Smooth cardstock and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors — Carmine Red, Light Carmine, Emerald Green, May Green, and the Blender. After I colored them, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.
For the card base, I used the Mini Scallop Card die set. This die set makes a card base that is approximately 3 1/4” with a beautiful scallop border. There is beautiful stitching on the front and also comes with a stitched square layering die.
I die cut the stitched square layering die and added distress oxide inks in the following colors — Worn Lipstick and Cracked Pistachio.
I added my stamped images to the front of the cards. I used the sentiment stamps from the Watermelon stamp set. For one of the cards, I used the Friend Shadow die.
I just love these mini cards. They are perfect for sending a quick note to a friend, co-worker, or loved one.
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a sweet day! Lisa Mears

Hello and welcome to the PPP Blog! It’s Leica here, and I’m excited to share a thank you card with you today featuring the new Fruit Salad stamp set along with the Monkey Friends stamp set. Let’s dive in!
To begin, I cut a 4-inch square white cardstock and blended it with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink. Then, using the fabulous Starburst Stencil and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink, I added a burst of patterns to the card panel. This stencil has quickly become my favorite from PPP! I stamped the sentiment “Thanks A Bunch” at the top of the card panel using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.
Next, I stamped and colored the adorable bananas from the Fruit Salad stamp set, as well as the cute monkeys and leaves from the Monkey Friends stamp set. After that, I cut out the stamped images using their coordinating dies. I used foam tape to attach the images to the card panel, creating a nice dimensional look.
Finally, I glued the card panel onto a 4.25-inch square white card base. To add some extra interest and shine, I scattered some Lemon Shimmer Mix here and there.
I absolutely love how this card turned out, and I hope you do too! Wishing you a fantastic day ahead!
Hello crafty friends! Davina here with some incredible new products from Pretty Pink Posh. The new June release is bursting with sweet juicy fruit. And not just regular fruit, but super cute stamps, dies, and stencils that will always be perfectly in season!
Some of my favorite products are the strawberry themed items. I couldn’t wait to use the adorable berry carton in the Fresh Berries stamp set. I decided to make a lush box card using the Scallop Box Card die set and filled it with grassy layers and stamped images.
Although it’s not very visible in the photos, I used the new Layered Strawberries Stencils to create a dreamy pink and green background for my box card. I gently splattered the paper before using gold embossing paste for the seeds. Next, I assembled the box card, creating 3 grassy inserts and adding a 4th little layer of grass behind the very front piece.
I stamped the strawberry strip from the Fruit Borders stamp set in layers to make a sort of patterned paper. I die cut the little scalloped panels for the box card, and colored it in with shades of pink and green to match my card. Then, I stamped the leaves and basket onto colored cardstock with matching colored ink. I combined those large images with copic colored berries and sweet little bees from the Bee Friends stamp set.
I tucked my images throughout the layers, and adhered the little bees to acetate strips for a floating whimsical look. Finally, I finished off this cute little card with a heat embossed sentiment from the Fresh Berries stamp set. I really love this soft pink basket of berries and hope that you do too.
Thank you for stopping by and make sure to hop along on the Instagram Hop to see the inspiration from the design team and guests.
Hey, friends! It’s Leica here, and I’m thrilled to share a watermelon-themed card with you today using the latest goodies from Pretty Pink Posh. This card is perfect for summer and can be sent as a Thank You card or a Birthday card.
To start, I took a 4-inch square white cardstock and blended Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink on it. Then, I used the Starburst Stencil and inked through it with the same Festive Berries Ink to create a cool tone-on-tone effect. To make it even more interesting, I splattered some white ink.
Next, I stamped, colored, and cut out the images from the Watermelon stamp set using Copic Sketch Markers. I used YG67/17/03 for the greens and R27/24/22 for the reds. Then, I used foam tape to attach the stamped images to the card panel for some dimension.
For the sentiment, I stamped the word “Melon” on white cardstock using Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink. I cut it out using the coordinating die and added a few extra die cuts stacked together for a raised effect. I also white heat embossed the words “You’re One In A” on a strip of black cardstock and foam mounted it above the watermelons.
Lastly, I adhered the card panel onto a 4.25-inch square white card base and added some Pine Green Pearls here and there for a touch of texture and interest.
That’s all for my card. Thank you so much for visiting the blog, and I hope I’ve inspired you to create a fun watermelon card with this stamp set. Happy crafting!
Hi friends! It’s Zsofi here today and I am sharing a very refreshing summer shaker card featuring some fun new products from the June release. Because nothing is better on a hot summer day than a cold tropical juice, right?
I started with die cutting the WinterMug die from green cardstock 2 times. I cut a window in one of them using the new Fruit Mug Addition die set, it is so pretty with the stitching detail! I backed the window with a piece of acetate and also cut the juice for the top from cream cardstock and a straw from orange cardstock. I love all the mug addition die sets, they are so versatile and easy to mix and match. For assembling the shaker, I used thick 3D foam tape so the shaker elements can move freely inside. I filled it with Tropical Paradise Mix, so yummy!
Then I stamped a bunch of fruits from the Citrus and Fruit Saladstamp sets. I used Copic markers to colour them and cut them all out with their coordinating dies.
While I was die cutting, I also cut the Happy Summer sentiment from green cardstock and assembled the card on a cheerful yellow striped patterned paper. I used the same thick 3D foam tape under the fruits to match the level of the shaker.
I also stamped another sentiment under the die cut one from the Citrus stamp set. As a finishing touch I added 2 little flowers to the straw to make it look super cute.
I hope you liked my card and got inspired to do create some fun summer shaker mugs. Show us in the Pretty Pink PoshFacebook group if you get crafty, we would love to see your cards!
Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Leica here, and I have a super fun shaker card to share with you today, featuring the awesome new Fruit Mug Additions Dies. I absolutely love how this card turned out, and I’m sure the lucky recipient will enjoy it too.
To get started, I took a white cardstock and cut it to A2 size. I then blended Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide Ink all over it. To add some extra pizzazz, I used the Starburst Stencil and applied Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Ink. For a bit of flair, I splattered some white acrylic paint on the card panel. I softened the background by adding a sheet of vellum and framed the panel with a white frame.
Next, I used pink cardstock to cut out a mug shape using the Winter Mug Dies. I made a window on it to turn it into a shaker element. I thought it would be cute to make it look like a small glass for my milkshake, so I cut the handle off. For the shaker bits, I used the Strawberry Banana Clay Confetti. I also cut out five strawberries from the Fruit Mug Addition Dies. I watercolor some paper in red for the strawberries and used Copic markers to color the leaves. To complete the milkshake, I cut out a teal straw and white shimmer cardstock for the whipped cream. I arranged all these elements on the card panel.
For the sentiment, I stamped “You’re Berry Sweet” on a strip of pink cardstock. I added some Bubblegum Pearls here and there for extra interest. Lastly, I adhered the card panel onto an A2-sized cardstock.

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I have a new post and video to share today. I just love the new fruit themed products from the brand new release and when I saw the Mini Scallop Card Dies, an idea popped into my head to make little cards that I think would be so cute as a gift.
I stamped and colored images from the Citrus stamp set, Fresh Berries stamp set and Watermelon stamp set. They have been stamped in alcohol marker friendly black ink and colored in with Ohuhu Art Honolulu Markers. I have a coloring guide if you would like to see what I used to color in each of the fruits and different leaf combinations!
I also used their coordinating dies (Citrus, Fresh Berries, Watermelon) to cut out the images and added highlights with a white gel pen.
Using the colors I used for my fruit as inspiration, I picked colored cardstock and cut the Mini Scallop Card Dies base in the three colors for each card. There is a stitched rectangle die in this set as well so I cut white cardstock for the inside of my cards for a sentiment. I will also use this stitched rectangle to cut the background for the front of the card, but that will come later.
In my video I begin with creating my stenciled backgrounds to coordinate with the stamped images. I started with Layered Citrus Stencils with (A) Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide, (B) Mustard Seed Distress Oxide, and (C) Shooting Star Lunar Paste. The next background was created with Layered Watermelon Stencils with (A) Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide, (B) Twisted Citron Distress Oxide, Lucky Clover Distress Oxide, and (C) Black Tie Stencil Butter. Finally, the last background was Layered Strawberries Stencils with (A) Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide, Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide, (B) Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide, (D) Lucky Clover Distress Oxide, (C) Chocolate Stencil Butter, and Shooting Star Lunar Paste.
When the backgrounds were dry, I brought back the stitched square from the Mini Scallop Card Dies and die cut as many backgrounds I could fit so I can save these for future projects!
After assembling the Mini Scallop Cards together, I added in some extra shine with new shimmer mixesin Lemon, Lime, and Strawberry. I hope these mini cards bring you inspiration today!
