Hello, friends! It’s Lindsey here and if you’ve seen any of my projects from this release, it probably comes as no surprise that today’s card uses the new Winter Foliage Dies. I feel like I’m constantly saying how much I adore them and how I want to use them on everything, and well…I pretty much have.  Lol.  

For today’s card I’ve paired the Winter Foliage Dies with the new Mitten Shaker Dies, and truly they are a match made in heaven. I’m also using a color combo that is making me smile this season: aqua, teal, eggplant purple, white, and grey.  

It may surprise you, but I’ve used two stencils on this card.  Instead of inking them up, though, I used them to dry emboss. First, I used the Layered Snowflakes Stencil to emboss the card base. I just wanted a few snowflakes in the background, so I only embossed the largest snowflake layer. Next, and you have to look reeeeallly close to see this in the photos, but I embossed the inside of the mittens with the Mini Grid Stencil. I embossed it on the diagonal and it adds some really fun texture.

To adorn my mittens I created a floral spray using lots of bits and pieces from my beloved Winter Foliage Dies. I have made so many arrangements with these, and I’m convinced you can’t go wrong. All the stems and florals look great together. I have to admit, though, I just love the little pine cone tucked in there.

The sentiment is made up of the “merry” die in the new Merry & Bright Script Dies and “Christmas” that was selectively inked from a sentiment in the Holiday Envelopes stamp set. I just love this rich eggplant color! 

Thanks so much for joining me today! This new release is packed full of things that mix and match so perfectly together. You are going to love everything!

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with an Autumn Greeting scalloped box card, using the Potted Sunflowers and Pumpkin Patch Critters stamp sets.

For this card, I first assembled the box card in white cardstock. The panels and grass inserts are ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks in Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint, and Tumbled Glass. 

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Potted Sunflowers stamp set and Pumpkin Patch Critter stamp sets. I used the following Copic markers:

Cat – E35/33/31
Mouse – W5/3/1
Pots – E13/11/00
Pumpkins – YR18/16/14
Sunflowers – E49/47/44, Y18/15/13

I adhered the images onto the inserts and added the sentiment onto the front panel of the box. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope that I’ve inspired you to make Autumn-theme cards for your loved ones. 

Hello crafty friends, Raquel here today! I want to share a colorful project I made using the recently released Layered Apples Stencil.

I must admit, I felt in love with all the layered stencils from this release. They are simply perfect to create colorful designs in no time. I particularly love the process of choosing colors, mixing and matching and lifting the stencil for the final reveal!

I wanted to create a monochromatic background with red and pink apples. I used Moroccan Spice, Fire Coral and Poppin’ Pink ins from MFT.

First, I applied Moroccan Spice on the left-hand side of each apple. I went in a diagonal order to save some time. Then I applied Fire coral and Poppin’ Pink making sure I left a small spot white so I could have some high lights on the apples. 

Next up I colored the leaves and the small stem using Jalapeño Popper and Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Once my background was ready I decided to use and A2 size piece of vellum onto the background to create a wreath.

I used the Valentine Circles coordinating die as the center of my wreath. Then I stamped the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment and foam mounted it in the center. I used several dies from the Fall Basket set to create my wreath in different colors and arranged them all around the circle:

I hope this card inspires you to create with these fun, unique and gorgeous products! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Raquel

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here with a Halloween card, featuring the Ghost Friends stamp set. If you’re not into the scary Halloween stuff (like I am), you’re gonna love these adorable friendly ghosts! The best part is there is not a lot of coloring involved. Let’s get started!

I first cut an A2-sized panel in white cardstock and ink blended the border with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink, Milled Lavender in the center, and Black Soot on the bottom. I splattered black and white acrylic paint for interest. I then white heat embossed the sentiment on the top right corner of the card panel.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the ghosts from the Ghost Friends stamp set. I then cut the Cauldron Shaker in black cardstock. I cut a few and stack them together to make a well for the shaker element. For the shaker bits, I used a combination of clay confetti – Monster Mash Mix and Halloween Party Mix. 

I then cut the Boo Script in teal glitter cardstock and another one in white for a shadow effect. I glued the cauldron shaker, foam mounted the ghosts, and also adhered some clay confettis on the card panel. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto an A2-sized card base.

I hope that you enjoyed today’s card share! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello and welcome to the PPP blog. It’s Leica here today with a merry and bright Christmas card. I went for a colorful and fun vibe for this card to match the sentiment and I love the way it turned out. 

To begin, I cut a panel in white cardstock and inked blended through the A layer of the Layered Mittens Stencils with Distress Oxide Inks in Festive Berries, Fossilized Amber, Mowed Lawn Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, and Salvaged Patina. With a lighter hand, I ink blended through Layer B in the same colors mentioned above. For the last layer, I used white ink. 

The stencils measure 6×6 inches and I usually start with a larger panel (6.25 square) and cut it down after ink blending through all the stencil layers. 

I ended up cutting the panel to 5” square and glued it onto a teal colored card base. I also added a 5” square white cardstock inside the card since the card base is a dark color. 

I then cut the Merry and Bright Script in silver glitter cardstock and 4 times in white cardstock. I stacked them up for dimension (except for the tittles because it’s too small) and glued it onto a sheet of vellum before gluing it onto the card panel. Lastly, I added some pearls to make the card even more merrier! 

That’s all for this fun Christmas card. I hope that you’ve enjoyed today’s card share and that I’ve inspired you to create a merry and bright card!
