Slimline Birdhouses + Video

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Today I’m sharing a slimline birdhouse card. These birdhouses can be used on cards for just about any occasion.

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

I used the Spring Birdhouses stamp set which includes three birdhouses, a branch, and several sentiments. The A Little Birdie stamp set includes five birds that coordinate perfectly with the birdhouses. I also used a flower stamp from the Spring Flower stamp set to add to the branches.

I colored my images using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors — Peach Pink, Turquoise Green, May Green, Orange, Light Blue, Lemon Yellow, Mid Brown, and the Blender. After I colored them, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

For the card background, I used the Layered Clouds Stencil along with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. I cut the background to 3 1/4” x 8 1/4”.

I added the largest Slimline Scallop Frame dies to the stenciled background and then added my stamped images and sentiment. Finally, I added the card layer to a slimline card base which measures 3 1/2” x 8 1/2”.

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

Graduation Box Card

Hello crafty friends, it’s Leica here. Are you looking for a unique and personalized graduation card idea? Look no further than the new Graduation Mug Additions Dies by Pretty Pink Posh! These versatile dies allow you to create customizable graduation-themed elements in any color scheme, making them perfect for celebrating the achievements of your loved ones.

To showcase these dies, I decided to make a box card in light blue cardstock using the Scallop Box Card Dies. I love how this card design adds dimension and interest, while also providing plenty of space to add your own embellishments or stamped images.

For the background panel of the box card, I chose a sheet of patterned paper with stars that added a festive touch. Then, I used the Graduation Mug Additions Dies to cut out the graduation-themed elements in black, blue, gold, silver, yellow, and white cardstocks. I particularly loved the graduation cap and diploma, which added a playful and celebratory touch to the card.

To make these elements appear as if they were floating, I adhered strips of acetate to the banners, graduation cap, numbers, and stars. This technique created a fun and dynamic effect that made the card stand out even more.

Finally, to add a touch of elegance and sophistication, I hot foiled the Hot Foil Congrats Script in gold foil on white cardstock and cut it with the Congrats Shadow Dies. I love that the Hot Foil Dies make it easy to add stunning metallic accents to my projects.

That’s all for my card share for today. Thank you for reading, and I hope my card has inspired you to create your own handmade cards using the Graduation Mug Additions Dies! Have a great day!

Just A Note Circle Card

Hi everyone! It’s Leica here. I’m excited to share a card I made using Pretty Pink Posh’s new Just A Note stamp set and Layered Music Notes Stencils. For this card, I started by cutting a 4.75 inch circle in white cardstock and ink blending it with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. To add more interest, I splattered it with white ink.

Next, I cut a 4.5 inch circle white cardstock and a 4 inch scallop circle in a light pink cardstock, which I added a pattern to using the Layered Music Notes Stencils with Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. This stencil made it so easy to create a fun and playful background for the card panel.

To add the sentiment, I cut the ornate label die from the Get Well Soon coordinating dies in white cardstock and stamped it with the sentiment from the Just A Note stamp set. I glued the circle panels to create a layered look and foam mounted the ornate die with the sentiment.

For a cute touch, I added a little bird using the Stitched Birds Dies and a few little notes from the Just A Note stamp set. Finally, to create the card base, I cut another 4.75 inch circle in white cardstock, scored and folded it at the .75 inch mark, and glued this flap onto the card panel.

I’m really happy with how this card turned out and I love how it can be used for any occasion. I hope this inspires you to create your own unique cards using Pretty Pink Posh’s wonderful products. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Get Well Soon

Hello friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today sharing a get well soon card that I made with the Get Well Soon stamp set.

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

The Get Well Soon stamp set has a lot of cute images such as a tissue box, tea cup, soup bowl, thermometer, bandaid, bouquet of flowers, and several sentiments. I wanted to use several of the images on my card so I decided to stamp many of them in a random pattern on the cardstock to create my own pattern paper.

I stamped the images onto Bristol Smooth cardstock that I cut to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors — Turquoise Green, Sugar Almond Pink, Flesh Colour, Lemon Yellow, Pale Gray, Mid Brown, and the Blender. After I colored them, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

I die cut the label for the sentiment using the Get Well Soon coordinating die set and stamped a sentiment on it. I added the label to the card with foam to give it some dimension and then added a few more stamps around the sentiment.

Finally, I added the stamped card layer to a piece of teal cardstock that measures 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” and then added it to an A2 card base.

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

Hello, it’s Barbara here and I’m happy to be sharing a card using the new release from Pretty Pink Posh. If you’re new to PPP, they released a Winter Mug die set and since then, have come out with several additions to go along with it. The newest one, Get Well Mug Additions is the one I’m using today.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is IMG_0546_jpg.jpg

I created this card using an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I cut a panel of yellow cardstock stamped with a gingham background stamp in a darker yellow ink. The mug is from the Winter Mug die set. I cut it out of gray cardstock and used some distress ink to add some dimension. All the other die elements are from the Get Well Mug Additions die set that I cut from white cardstock.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is IMG_0547.jpg

These elements were colored with copic markers. I used a white gel pen to add highlights. I glued the die cuts together and then popped everything up using some 3d foam adhesive for extra dimension.

I hope you enjoyed this card. If you want to see more of my guest designer projects, visit me on Instagram!

Day 2: May Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends! Davina here sharing brand new products from the May release. This beautifully curated release is full of items for all of our spring/summer events, like Graduations and Fathers Day, pretty bird themed sets, and more.

I especially loved these detailed Decorative Birdhouses Die Set. All of the pretty stitched details and various door options made it so fun to play with. I cut each house from Bristol Smooth Cardstock two times. With one of each design, I inkblended the house with Distress Oxide Ink, then secured the scallop edge and trim with washi tape from behind. I also added a little bit of marker detail to each house.

Next, I adhered the white trim from my second die cut houses, layered on top, and used a darker marker to color the small strips. Then, I cut and added the doors to each little house.

I was so excited that the birds from A Little Birdie stamp set fit so perfectly with these houses. I stamped and colored three birds to add to my houses, and layered them onto a slimline cardbase that I gently inked. I stamped the nice long branch from the Spring Birdhouses stamp set onto the cardbase as well. I intentionally left it as an outline so it wouldn’t distract from my little row of cute houses. I finished this off with a heat embossed sentiment and a sprinkling of colored confetti from the new Rainbow Shimmer Confetti Mix.

Make sure you “Hop along” all three days to see the incredible DT samples with this wonderful release,

Hey there, crafty friends! Leica here. I’m so excited to show you my latest creation featuring the new Decorative Birdhouses Die, Stitched Birds Die, and the previously-released Spring Foliage Die from Pretty Pink Posh. This circle-shaped card turned out so cute, and I can’t wait to share all the details with you!

To start off, I cut a 4.5 inch circle from some white cardstock and used the Layered Clouds Stencils with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to create a fluffy cloud background. Then, I matted the panel onto a 5 inch circle that I had ink blended with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink. The colors complemented each other so nicely!

Using the Decorative Birdhouses Die, Stitched Birds Die, and Spring Foliage Die, I cut out all kinds of shapes from various colored cardstock. It was so easy and fun to mix and match all the different elements. I even used the Stitched Strip Dies to make a little stand for the birdhouse.

To add some extra texture, I splattered some white ink onto the card. It turned out so cute and added a fun, playful touch.

I finished it off with a sentiment that I heat embossed in white on a strip of black cardstock. It really popped against the colorful cardstock shapes.

To create a sturdy base for the card, I cut another 5 inch circle from white cardstock and scored it at the .75 inch mark. I folded it up and glued the flap onto the card panel. It worked like a charm!

Sneak Peek: May 2023 Dies

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here giving you a sneak peek of some of the amazing dies releasing this month. There are two new additions to the mug line-up, scripty sentiments, and some beautiful bird and birdhouse dies. SO much to love!

New release will be available May 1st

First up is a cheery get well card with a bright color palette. There are lots of great products this month expanding the “get well” category. You are going to love them! This card showcases Get Well Mug Additions.

I figure if someone is sick and needs some cheering up, a shaker is a good way to do that. I started with my beloved Winter Mug and die cut out the center using a die from Birthday Mug Additions. Then I filled it full of colorful pills from the Get Well Mug Additions.

Next I die cut and stuffed the mug with medical supplies and happy things to brighten a mood. You may notice that the darling sun, rainbows, flowers, etc. are in the same style as the previously released Hugs stamp set. I can’t wait to use them together! This card just makes me smile. :) These dies are the definition of happiness.

Okay, on to the next peek. I’m super excited about this one! It uses the new Decorative Birdhouses and Stitched Birds dies. There are three birdhouses with different options for the center opening on the bird house and three bird dies in these sets.

I chose the largest bird house for my card and blended two different shades of brown to create a dark, rich wood color. After piecing the birdhouse together, I added a stitched pole using a die from the Valentine Mug Additions for my birdhouse to stand on.

Next, I worked on the background. I blended ink on the previously released Love Hearts die and layered it on top of a light blue card base. Then I framed it with the large stitched frame in the Fancy Cake die set. I just love how the greenery and blossoms surround the birdhouse!

Of course this house needed a bird, so I took some creative liberties and made a pink one using the Stitched Birds dies. You can piece the birds together with different colors or blend them with ink like I’ve done here. You can also mix and match the wings. (I’ve made at least a dozen different birds so far…) I nested this little birdie on top of some leaf and berry sprigs from the Spring Foliage Dies and called it a day.

Thanks so much for joining me! This release is a fun one! Stop by tomorrow for a look at all the new products.

Sneak Peek: May 2023 Stencils

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back to share a sneak peek of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh. The new release is packed full of amazing new products and it includes four new stencil sets! Today I will be using two of the sets: Layered Birdhouses and Layered Graduation.

New release will be available May 1st

My first card uses the Layered Birdhouse stencil set. This is a four pack of stencils that layer together to create the most adorable panel! I used finger daubers and dye ink for my blending.

Once my panel was finished, I used the new A Little Birdie set to stamp my birds. I colored them with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I stamped my sentiment from A Little Birdie set onto the die from the Easter Sentiments die set. Lastly, I trimmed my panel down and attached everything to an A2 card base to finish my card.

My next card uses the new Layered Graduation stencil set.

I started my card by using the Layered Graduation stencil set to create my card panel. This is a set of three stencils that layer together to create a fun panel for your graduation cards. I love that you can use the school’s colors to personalize your card, so fun!! I once again used dye ink and finger daubers for all of my blending.

Next, I used the Stitched Borders 1 die set to create the white strip for my sentiment. I attached the white piece to the top of my panel and used the new Congrats Script hot foil plate and Congrats Shadow die for my sentiment. Lastly, I used the Graduation Mug Additions set to create the coordinating banner for the top of my card.

Thanks for joining me today! I know you will love these fun new stencils and I can’t wait to see what you create with them!

Enjoy your day, Dana
