Hello hello! It’s Leica here today sharing an any-occasion card that is sure to make someone smile. For my card, I’m using the new Umbrella Shaker Die and the previously-released Spring Foliage Dies. What I love about this card is that there’s no Copic coloring involved. Yay! 

To begin, I inked through the Grid Stencil with Salvaged Patina on a 4.5” square white cardstock. With the remaining ink on my brush, I ink blended through the white areas very lightly. I then took scraps of white cardstock and ink blended them with various Distress Oxide Inks, sprayed them with water that has a bit of white ink, and used these papers to cut out the flowers and the cute little sign. For the umbrella, I gave it a pattern by inking through the  Medium Polka Dots Stencil. 

Here are the inks I used for this card: 

Panel: Salvaged Patina
Umbrella: Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed
Label: Vintage Photo

Flowers: Bundled Sage, Dried Marigold, Dusty Concord, Kitsch Flamingo, Milled Lavender, Mowed Lawn, Picked Raspberry, Shaded Lilac, Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron

I arranged the flowers on the umbrella and foam mounted them onto the card. The “for you” sentiment is from the Spring Jar Stamp Set. I simply inked the “for you” line only so that it would fit in the label. You can also use the Simple Sentiments Stamp Set as a substitute. To embellish the card, I glued some Pansy Purple Pearls here and there. Lastly, I glued the card panel onto a 4.5” square white card base. 

I hope that you’ve enjoyed my card using the Umbrella Shaker Die. As the name suggests, you can make a shaker card with this die. I’m sure I’ll be playing with this again. Have a great day! 

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a circle-shaped Easter card. I love shaped cards and this new Leafy Spring Wreath Stamp Set fits perfectly on a circle panel. This is also a great addition to the other previously-released Wreath Stamp Sets. 

To start, I ink blended a 4.5“ white circle cardstock with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink. I matted this onto a 5 “white circle panel that I ink blended with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. For both panels, I sprayed them with water that has a bit of white ink for an oxidized effect. 

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Leafy Spring Wreath Stamp Set. I used the following Copic markers: 

Eggs: BV02/00/000, R85/83/81, Y13/11
Leaves- YG67/63/61
Ribbon – R85/83/81, R30/00

I foam mounted the wreath on the card panel and foam mounted the rest of the elements onto the wreath for added dimension. Next, I white heat embossed the “Easter Greetings” sentiment  onto a strip of kraft cardstock and foam mounted in the center of the wreath. I then added Pink Blush Pearls here and there to embellish the card. Lastly, I cut another 5“ circle white cardstock, scored at the .5” mark and glued this flap to the card panel to make a card base.

That’s all for my card. I hope that you’ve enjoyed today’s card share and that I’ve inspired you to create a shaped-card with this new wreath stamp set. Have a great day! 

Hi there, it’s Gemma here and today I’m sharing an Easter card featuring the sweet Spring Chicks stamp set. I love the trio of chicks in their eggs.

I stamped out the chicks and some grass coloured them with copic markers. I then die cut them with the Spring Chicks coordinating dies.

Copic colours: Chicks: Y00-15 YR16 R30 R20 Eggs: B000 B01-04, YR16 YR01 Grass: YR03-05

For the background, I took a 4.75” panel of white card and die cut the Mini Storybook 1 die from the centre of it. This die adds pretty stitching details on the outside and inside of the cut lines.

On the largest panel, I stamped a sentiment from the Easter Sentiments stamp set. I then removed the panels in the storybook die, and added a pattern  to the background, using the Mini Polka Dots stencil and Tumbled Glass distress oxide ink.

I adhered the panel and insert pieces to a 5” card base, then the grass pieces. Finally, I added the Spring Chicks, layered with some extra die cuts for dimension.

I created another version of this card, this time with pink polka dots.

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you were inspired by these cards!

Hi crafty friends. It’s Leica here closing out Spring Theme Week with a super adorable Easter card. There is no coloring involved with a marker – that’s always a plus in my book. Hehe!

I started by inking through the Layered Carrots Stencil directly onto an A2-sized white cardbase. I used Dried Marigold, Mowed Lawn, and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks. To soften the background, I added a sheet of vellum on top and then glued a frame that I cut from the Fancy Cake Dies. The frame is ink blended with Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink and sprayed with water for an oxidized effect.

Next, I cut the mug from the Winter Mug Dies and ink blended it with Milled Lavender and a bit of Wilted Violet on the sides. I also cut the hot cocoa part in white cardstock and colored it with Copic E25/23/21. I then cut an opening in the center of the mug to make a shaker. The shaker bits are small eggs that I cut from the new Easter Mug Additions Dies. I colored the eggs with Copic BG70, R00, R20, V00, YG00, and YR000. I stamped the sentiment onto the acetate of the shaker before adding the shaker bits and sealing it. 

I then cut the carrot from the Easter Mug Additions Dies in white cardstock and colored it with Copic YR16/15/14, YG67/63/61. I tucked the carrot in the mug and foam mounted it onto the vellum. Lastly, I added some Creamsicle Pearls as embellishment for my card. 

That’s all for my card with a cute little shaker mug. I hope that I’ve inspired you to create one. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello crafty friends! Davina here to share some Spring inspiration using some gorgeous products from Pretty Pink Posh. I combined some brand new products along with some of my favorites from last year, and I hope you love it. 

First, I used the incredible new Scallop Box Card to die cut the pieces for my card. I used some pretty colored cardstock that coordinated with some spring colored plaid patterned paper. I cut 3 of the front pieces, and trimmed two of them in half to make the “layers”. I added some trimmed grassy paper panels to the front of those “layers” before adhering them into my box. 

From colored cardstock, I also created my carrot forest, using the carrot die from the Easter Mug Additions die set. I gently inked the edges with Distress Oxide Inks and added some details with copic markers. I stamped lots of images from the Easter Signs and Easter Wreath stamp sets. I colored everything in using bright spring colors and cut out using the coordinating dies.

I used the large scalloped die to cut out two panels. One for the front, and one for the back. I inked a pink and yellow blended ombré for the front with lots of sparkly splatter, and for the back piece I stamped my sentiment. I adhered the panels and went to work filling up my layers with all the fun goodies. 

I attached all the carrots together into one piece before adding them into my second layer. It left plenty of room for my butterflies to flutter on acetate strips on that back layer. Then I assembled my main images up front. For the very front I layered the garden sign with a popped up “Spring” that I made with the new Happy Spring Shadow Dies. 

Everything looks great from all angles and this new box card die set is just the cutest! I hope that you feel inspired to create some beautiful spring projects for yourself. 

Thank your for stopping by, Davina

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am sharing a few Easter gift card holders. 

I started my project by using the Winter Mug die to die cut three mugs in pastel colors. I then used the Easter Mug Additions die set to die cut all of the fun coordinating pieces. Every little detail is included to create the most adorable springtime mugs!!

I die cut the pieces from solid cardstock and used liquid glue to assemble the mugs. 

Next, I used the Stitched Gift Card Holder to create my backer. For each gift card holder, I die cut the holder two times and attached them together for added strength. Such a fun way to give a gift card! I think they will be so fun to tuck into an Easter basket or give to a friend or coworker. 

Thanks for joining me today and I hope I inspired you to create some fun Easter gift card holders of your own.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hi friends, it’s Gemma here today. I have a fun Easter card to share, combining both new and older products from Pretty Pink Posh.

I began with the Layered Carrots stencilled background. I used the 3 layers of the stencil with distress oxide inks to create the large 6×6 background panel.

I used the following colours:
Layer A: Marigold Layer B: Mowed Lawn Layer C: Carved Pumpkin

I trimmed down the background and adhered it on a 6×6 white card base, leaving some space at the bottom for my sentiment.

I stamped a sentiment from the new Easter Sentiments stamp set. Above this, I layered some Stitched Strips in colourful card to complement the carrots in the background.

Next, I stamped and coloured images from the Bunny Friends and Easter Friends stamp sets.
Bunnies: W00-W3, E40-43, R20 R30 Other colours: Y00-Y13, B000 B01, V12, YR14-YR16, G14

I die cut them with the coordinating dies, adding extra layers behind the bunnies for dimension. I then adhered them to my card to finish.

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you were inspired to combine some of your new and old Pretty Pink Posh products!

Hello! It’s Lindsey here and I’m happy to be sharing some projects with you using some of the fun new dies that released this month.

The thing that I love most about spring is that bright colors start to pop up out of the dull that has existed all winter, so I decided to go with a bright, cheerful rainbow of colors on today’s projects. I die cut eggs and flowers using the Easter Mug Additions and arranged them in a wreath on my card. Don’t you just love the cute stitched details on the eggs?   

Next I added coordinating pearls (light orchid, sunshine, creamsicle, seafoam, and blue sky). A sentiment using the fantastic Easter Wishes Shadow dies was the finishing touch.

For the coordinating tag, I pulled out an old favorite of mine -the tag in the Birthday Circles dies. I layered strips of cardstock on the backside of the tag and die cut eggs, flowers, and leaves using the Easter Mug Additions in the same cheerful colors.  

I arranged all the pieces in the corner and added some light orchid, sunshine, and seafoam pearls.  Then I embossed a sentiment from the new Spring Jar stamp set. 

I hope these projects brought a smile to your face and helped you see how fantastic the mug addition dies can be all on their own. Have a lovely day, friends!
