Spring Theme Week- Day 5

**All items in the Spring section are 15% off during theme week**

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

Spring Theme Week- Day 4

**All items in the Spring section are 15% off during theme week**

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Today I’m sharing a card using the Spring Jar Stamp Set. This stamp set includes a mason jar, lots of flowers, a butterfly, a ladybug, and more! This stamp set is perfect for cards of all occasions — birthdays, Easter, Mother’s Day, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, sympathy, and thank you, just to name a few.

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

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

For the background, I used the Trellis Stencil. I added Scrapbook.com buttercream ink to the center of the stencil. I was going for a clean and simple look so I wanted to leave a lot of white around the edges. After applying the ink to the stencil, I removed the stencil and then added more ink directly over the stenciled background on the cardstock. This filled the white areas within the stenciled background with the buttercream ink. I added the mason jar and flowers to the cardstock.

For the sentiment, I used the Mom/Mother hot foil plate and foiled the sentiment with pink foil. I die cut the hot foiled word with the Mom/Mother Shadow dies. Next, I added some Pansy Purple Pearls and Flamingo Pearls

I added the card layer to a piece of pink cardstock and then added it to an A2 size card base.

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

Spring Theme Week- Day 3

Spring Theme Week- Day 3

**All items in the Spring section are 15% off during theme week**

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.

Spring Theme Week- Day 3

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

Spring Theme Week- Day 3

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.

Spring Theme Week- Day 3

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.

Spring Theme Week- Day 3

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

Spring Theme Week- Day 2

**All items in the Spring section are 15% off during theme week**

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!

Spring Theme Week- Day 1

Spring Theme Week- Day 1

**All items in the Spring section are 15% off during theme week**

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.

Spring Theme Week- Day 1

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.

Spring Theme Week- Day 1

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.

Spring Theme Week- Day 1

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.

Congrats Leafy Wreath

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!

Congrats Leafy Wreath

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!

Congrats Leafy Wreath

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

Congrats Leafy Wreath

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.

Congrats Leafy Wreath

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!

Spring Greetings Jar

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!

Spring Umbrella Shaker + Video

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Shaker cards are one of my favorite types of cards to make so I’m super excited to share a spring shaker card I made using the Umbrella Shaker die set. This die set can be used to make cards for spring, Easter, Mother’s Day, birthdays, and more. 

Be sure to check out the video to see how I put the umbrella shaker together. I added the Flower Garden Clay Confetti to the inside of the shaker. I love the vibrant colors of the flowers and the leaves in this mix. It’s so pretty!

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

For the background of my card, I cut a white piece of cardstock with a stitched rectangle die and then inked the bottom right half with pink ink. I was going for a clean and simple look so I wanted to have a lot of white showing on my card. I stamped a sentiment from the Easter Sentiments stamp set in the top right hand corner of the panel. 

Using the Spring Foliage die set, I die cut several flowers and some leaves from different color cardstock and inked the edges to add some depth to the die cuts. I added the umbrella shaker upside down in the lower right corner of the card panel and added the flowers and leaves coming out of the umbrella. I added this layer to an A2 size card base (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”).  

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

Spring Chicks Box Card

Hello crafty friends and welcome to the PPP Blog! It’s Leica here today with an Easter box card, featuring the new Scallop Box Card Die and the cutest chicks from the Spring Chicks Stamp Set. We have been asked about this box card die a few times and finally it’s available. YAY! I love that this box card folds flat and fits in an A2-sized envelope. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Chicks Box Card

For my card, I cut the Scallop Box Card Die pieces in white cardstock. I assembled it by folding the perforated tabs and gluing them onto the main piece. For the scallop panels, I ink blended the back scallop panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink, the inserts are ink blended with Twisted Citron, the side panels are inked with Dried Marigold, and the front scallop panel is ink blended with Kitsch Flamingo. I then  sprayed some water for an oxidized effect. Once dry, I stamped the “Happy Easter” sentiment on the front scallop panel of the card. This is from the Spring Jar Stamp Set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Chicks Box Card

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

Greens – Copic G05/02/00
Oranges – Copic YR18/16/15
Pinks – Tombow 743/703/800
Violets – Tombow 633/603/660
Yellow – Copic Y18/15/13/11

Pretty Pink Posh: Spring Chicks Box Card

Finally, I added some white gel pen highlights on the images and glued them onto the inserts of the box card. Make sure to share your cards with us on social media #prettypinkposhstamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that I’ve inspired you to make a box card.
