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!

Hello friends! This is Mindy and in today’s post I’m kicking off Spring Theme Week and I’m showing how to create the Scallop Box Card. I go over all the instructions on the box assembly in the video so I will briefly touch on the card down below.

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

I am super excited for Spring especially with all of these amazing new products from Pretty Pink Posh. There are lots of different stamp sets that would work in the Scallop Box Card but I’m going to use the Flower Garden set for mine today since I’m getting Spring Fever.

I stamped out numerous images from the Flower Garden set and also from Spring Chicks stamp set. I used an alcohol friendly ink so I could color them with my Olo Markers.

You have so many options for the box like die cutting it from colored cardstock, pattern paper or white cardstock and ink blend on your color like I did today.

I ink blended Key Lime ink for my grass and Sea Glass Ink for my sky using a flat blending brush.

When assembling my scene, I like to place the largest image in the back so it doesn’t hide all the other adorable images.

The sentiment I’m using today comes from the Flower Garden stamp set as well but this card would be good for any occasion.

It’s going to be a beautiful display piece for the recipient and you can write a personal message on the back of the box if you choose.

I hope you enjoy today’s card and video. It’s super simple to put together and a fun surprise for the recipient.

Thanks for joining me today.

Hi friends, I hope you’re having a beautiful day! It’s Jeanne and I’m sharing a card made with the beautiful new Leafy Spring Wreath! This set features a leafy wreath with lots of pretty embellishments including flowers, Easter eggs, little birds and a beautiful bow!

I like to reimagine my stamps and dies and imagine different ways to use them. Just because this set has “Spring” in it’s name doesn’t mean that’s the only time I can use it. I saw those little birds and immediately my mind went to summer weddings!

Pretty Pink Posh has a fabulous assortment of stitched border dies too. But why do they have to be just for borders? I like to use the Stacked Edges and Stitched Strips dies to create smooth flat backgrounds. I have more than one of each of the border die sets so I can cut several at a time. I always save the extras for other projects

I love the clean line designs from Pretty Pink Posh because they’re ideal for every media type I can think of. I’m not an “expert” at coloring so I like to color the petals and leaves in different shades of color to give a stained glass look with lots of contrast.

I’m smiling because this card was made with something old (the older release dies), something new (the new Leafy Spring Wreath), something borrowed (my daughter’s markers), and something blue (all those fabulous stripes)!

Have a great weekend!

Hi everyone! Leica here today on the PPP Blog. I have a sweet Spring card to share with you all, using the new Spring Jar Stamp Set and the Coordinating Dies. This stamp set is absolutely beautiful and can be used for any and many occasions.

To start, I ink blended an A2-sized white cardstock with Shaded Lilac and Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Inks. I sprayed some water with a bit of white ink for an oxidized effect. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the florals and jar from the Spring Jar Stamp Set.

I used Copic markers:

Jar – Copic BG10
Label – Copic E41
Leaves – Tombow 249/177/126/133/131
Blues – Copic B01/00/000
Oranges – Copic YR18/16/15

Pinks – Tombow 743/703/800
Violets – Tombow 633/603/660
Yellow – Copic Y18/15/13/11

I added highlights with a white pen and arranged the flowers on the card panel. I glued down the jar on the card panel and added foam tape on the back of the flowers for dimension. I then added some Light Orchid Pearls for added interest and lastly, I glued the panel onto an A2-sized side-fold cardstock. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy crafting!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a Mother’s Day box card. I’m super excited that the Scallop Box Card Die is finally available. This box is very easy to put together, I promise! It’s my new favorite box card die! 

For my card, I cut the Scallop Box Card Die pieces in kraft cardstock. I assembled it by folding the perforated tabs and gluing them onto the main piece. Next, I cut the scallop panels in white cardstock and ink blended them with Old Paper Distress Oxide Ink. I sprayed some water for an oxidized effect.

Once dry, I stamped the “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment on the front scallop panel of the card. 

I then stamped, colored and cut the images from the Flower Garden Stamp Set. Here are the colors that I used:

Pinks – Tombow 757/755/743
Violets – Tombow 636/633/603/660
Browns – Copic E49/47/44/43/42
Grays – Copic N7/5/3, T5/3/1/0
Greens – Copic G99/46/43, YG03/01, YG67/63/61
Yellows – Copic Y18/11

Lastly, I glued the images onto the inserts of the box to make a beautiful Spring garden scene.

Isn’t this box card die so fun? I can see myself using it over and over again, because it is easy to assemble and just so much fun to fill with your favorite stamps and dies. I know you will love this as much as I do! 

Good morning, Lindsey here and I’m super excited to share today’s projects with you. I often sketch and plan before I create something, but these just sort of tumbled out in one creative marathon. Once I got started the ideas just kept flowing.  All of these critters were created using the Winter Mug Die and the Easter Mug Additions with a couple exceptions that I will note, but I’m getting ahead of myself…

The Easter Mug Additions were created to build the cutest chicks and bunnies. I made a few different varieties similar to what I had seen on the mock up and then decided to experiment. I started small with this bunny. I combined a couple of the eyes and used the flower die to make a tail.

Then the wheels started turning and it occurred to me that I could probably create other animals. I realized a floppy eared bunny could easily be a dog if I just added a tail (the center of the bunny’s ear).

and some paws…

I had made this chubby chick a little earlier…

And found that a chicken was just a small step from a chick if I simplified the design, swapped the colors, and added its head feathers on the diagonal.

By this time my daughter had noticed the little animals that I was creating and was loving them. Her favorite animal is a cow, so I was determined to make one.

A couple years ago I made a cow cake for her birthday, and since the mug had a similar shape to the tall cake, I knew it could be done. I used the chick’s belly and the centers of the flowers for the cow’s nose. The chick’s feathers turned down became a tuft of hair, and I used the chick feet and heart shaped nose for the cow spots. I even used the inside layer of the bunny’s ears for the horns.

The only thing I had to outsource was the ears. I found them in leaves from the Spring Foliage dies.  

Now that I had the right ears, a horse was the natural next step.

And you could easily swap out the colors to grey to make a donkey.

Now that I had a whole farm going, I knew I had to figure out a pig. I tried to use just the dies from the Easter Mug Additions, but ultimately gave in to the fact that I needed to look elsewhere. I found just what I need in the Valentine Mug Additions.  

I used the strawberry chocolate coating for ears, the oval chocolate for his nose, the swirled icing for his tail, and the negative centers of the swirl for the nostrils.  

These little farm animal mugs are ready to add to a card or be used as a tag or a little lunch box note. My kiddos have already claimed their favorites. I’m curious…which one is your favorite?  

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope I’ve encouraged you to look at your dies with fresh eyes. Creating these was loads of fun!
