Sneak Peek: Happy Santa + Winter Drinks

Hi folks, Kavya here with yet another fun sneak peek! I love holiday releases because it means sooooo many cute critters! I also love all the adorable and holiday themed decor and food that’s usually available at this time of the year!

Today’s card is a fun Christmas card for a special friend who patiently waits for the holiday themed drinks every year. For this card, I used a bunch of stamps from the new release and combined them to create a single scene. Let’s get started!

New release will be available October 17th.

Sneak Peek: Happy Santa + Winter Drinks

I first started off by ink blending my background using Antique Linen and Victorian Velvet. Then, I added a layer of linen cardstock on the bottom for the land. Later, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Happy Santa, Winter Drinks and Pine Wreath. Adhered them to the card base and added a sentiment from Pine Wreath and Winter Drinks to finish off my card!

I hope you liked today’s inspiration. Check back tomorrow for more sneak peeks of the October 17th release.

Happy Creating,
Kavya

Sneak Peek: Holiday Envelopes

Hello friends! Tammy here with a sneak peek of the new Holiday Envelopes stamp set. This adorable set features two different envelope images, along with some fun sentiments and coordinating dies.

New release will be available October 17th.

Sneak Peek: Holiday Envelopes

To begin, I stamped out the snowflake envelope, colored with Copic markers, and die cut it with the Holiday Envelopes coordinating dies. I added some fine white glitter to the snowflakes to add a touch of shimmer. Next, I stamped the penguins from Penguin Pals, coloring them with Copic markers before die cutting with the Penguin Pals coordinating dies.

Next, I ink blended a die cut rectangle with Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I placed the new Layered Snowflake Stencils over the inked background and lightly inked some white pigment ink to create the subtle snowflake background. I then splattered some white acrylic paint (thinned with water) onto the stenciled background to add interest.

Next, I attached the inked rectangle onto striped patterned paper. I adhered the snowflake envelope image onto the background, then stacked the penguins on top of each other, attaching with foam tape for dimension. The sentiment was white heat embossed onto red cardstock sentiment strip, die cut from the Holiday Envelopes coordinating dies and attached with foam tape. Lastly, I added some white  snowflake embellishments from the new Winter Snowflake Clay Confetti to add a finishing touch!

I hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek! Come back tomorrow for another look at the October 17th release!

Sneak Peek: Pine Wreath

Hello, Gemma here today with an exciting sneak peek of the new Pine Wreath stamp set.

New release will be available October 17th. 

Sneak Peek: Pine Wreath

This fun set allows you to achieve different looks for your holiday cards, using the many smaller images from the stamp set on the wreath. I’ve created both a traditional card and a more modern card, to show this versatility.

Sneak Peek: Pine Wreath

For the traditional wreath, I stamped the image using a few different green inks. I like the texture and variation this gives to the wreath. I decorated the wreath using the holly, berries, and pine cone images from the Pine Wreath stamp set. I added a large red bow, also from the stamp set. All the images are coloured with copic markers and die cut with the Pine Wreath coordinating dies.

Sneak Peek: Pine Wreath

The lovely ‘joy’ sentiment, which I heat embossed in gold, is from the Pine Wreath stamp set and has a coordinating die. I think it looks so elegant with the wreath. I finished the card by layering the wreath over some patterned paper on a 4.75” square card base, then adding some of the new Ruby Red pearls.

Sneak Peek: Pine Wreath

To create a more modern style of wreath, I heat embossed the wreath in gold for my second card. I decorated it with baubles and stars from the Pine Wreath stamp set, all coloured with copic markers. I also added some different coloured pearls to coordinate.

Sneak Peek: Pine Wreath

As with the first card, I layered the wreath over some patterned paper on a 4.75” square card base. I finished by stamping a sentiment, from the Pine Wreath stamp set, in the centre of the wreath.

Make sure you come back tomorrow for another sneak peek of the October 17th release!

Spooky Sky + Video

Hey friends! It’s Mindy with you today to share how I created this Spooky Sky for my little ghost friends.

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

When I think of spooky, I think of bats and the Spooky Sky stencil is perfect to set my scene.

Pretty Pink Posh: Spooky Sky + Video

I start by ink blending Cracked Pistachio distress oxide ink to the center of the card front. Then I went around the edges with Hickory Smoke and Black Soot.

Pretty Pink Posh: Spooky Sky + Video

To start creating the scene, I’m using the clouds layer and ink blending on Hickory Smoke. For the bats layer, I’m adding a heavy amount of Black Soot.

Pretty Pink Posh: Spooky Sky + Video

Before I add the third layer of the stencil, I’m going to splatter on some copic white using a paint brush. Then I’ll hit that with my heat tool to speed up the drying process.

Now to add my stars, I’m using Gold Glitz Glitter Gel which has a ton of sparkle!

Pretty Pink Posh: Spooky Sky + Video

I’m using a sentiment from the Ghost Friends stamp set which I stamped in black ink onto white cardstock. I’m going to add this to a circle I die cut from Black cardstock using the Halloween Circles die. This grounds my sentiment a little bit.

I can then add the sentiment and circle to the center of the card and arrange my ghosts around that. The light ink blending I did previously will help draw your eye into the center of the card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s spooky card! Thanks for spending time with me today.

Rainbow Tree

Hello, Gemma here today with a fun rainbow tree card to share. I used the new Fall Tree die set to create my project. I began by die cutting the trunk portion of the tree from some dark brown woodgrain card.

I then die cut lots of leaves from white card. The leaves portion is one die, but die cuts out 4 different styles of leaves in 2 sizes. This gives lots of options for changing the look of your tree. I’ve chosen just one of the styles of leaves for my card today.

Using copic markers, I coloured the leaves in a rainbow of colours. I found this easier than looking for different colours of card stock and it gave me a wider range of tones within the rainbow. For those interested, I used the following markers, but you could use any markers you have on hand:
Reds: R29 R24 R22 R20 Oranges: YR18 YR15 YR02 YR00 Yellows: Y17 Y13 Y15 Y11 Greens: G17 G07 YG25 YG05 Turquoise: BG49 BG72 BG13 BG11 Blues: B66 B34 B04 B01 Purples: BV04 BV02 V17 V15 Pinks: RV66 RV34 RV25 RV04

Next, I worked on my card base. On a 5.25″ card base, I used a low tack tape to mask an area. I then blended distress oxide inks in the following colours: Abandoned Coral, Squeezed Lemonade, Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, Kitsch Flamingo. Carefully removing the tape reveals a nice crisp rainbow line across the card.

I used liquid glue to adhere the tree, followed by the rainbow leaves. I finished by adding a birthday greeting from the Simple Sentiments stamp set.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope this card inspired you!

Autumn Leaf Wreath + Video

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here to share an autumn card using the new Autumn Leaf Wreath stamp set

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

One thing I love about the fall season is the changing colors of the leaves and so I wanted the leaves in my wreath to have several fall colors in them. It was so easy to get a beautiful blend of fall colors by using only four colors of the Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens (although I’m sure any watercolor pens would work). The pens I used were red, orange, yellow, and mid green. These colors blended seamlessly. If there were any parts that needed a little extra blend, I used the blender marker to do that. The blender marker is simply a marker with a blending solution in it to help move the colors on your paper, however, a paint brush and water would work too. Once my coloring was complete, I die cut the wreath with the coordinating dies

Next, I worked on my background. I cut a piece of cardstock to 4” x 5 1/4” and used the Trellis stencil along with Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink. I stamped the sentiment “Fall Blessings” and then I added the wreath to the top portion of the stenciled card panel, popping it up with foam. 

I added some twine around the bottom portion of the card panel and tied it in a bow. I added two additional larger leaves from the stamp set and I added an acorn image to the top of the bow. Next, I added some Pistachio Pearls to the wreath and to the card front.

Finally, I added the stenciled panel to a piece of brown cardstock that measures 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” and then added it to an A2 size card base.

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

Happy Fall Envelope

Hello and welcome! It’s Leica here and today I am sharing a Fall card using the Fall Borders and Mouse Friends stamp sets. This is easy and fun to recreate. Let’s get started!

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Fall Envelope

I first cut a panel slightly smaller than A2 size in white cardstock. I made the background by stamping one of the Fall Borders 4 different times in Altenew Sand Dunes ink. Next, I ink blended the bottom part of the panel in Gathered Twigs and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered some black and gold acrylic paints for added interest. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Fall Envelope

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from Fall Envelopes and Mouse Friends stamp sets. I adhered the envelope onto the card panel and foam mounted the mice on top. The sentiment is stamped onto a banner strip, included in the Fall Envelopes coordinating dies. For added texture, I adhered 3 of the Pistachio pearls by the sentiment.

Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a yellow cardstock and adhered the panel onto an A2 sized card base. 

That’s all for this card. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Halloween Theme Week- Day 6

Hello crafty friends, Davina here and I’m so excited to be participating in the Halloween Theme Week. All of their products are so wonderfully illustrated and designed, that it is a breeze to pull multiple stamp sets, stencils and dies together to make the cutest cards and decor. I did just that for this bright and bold shaker boxcard. 

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

I stamped images from newer and older sets to build this scene. Halloween PalsGhost FriendsHalloween Friends, and Giving Thanks to name a few. I always use the coordinating dies to achieve a clean and polished look to my images. 

Before assembling this card, I created a flat mesh shaker using the Cauldron Shaker Die. I cut the shaker twice, added a few stamped images along with some glow in the dark mini stars and some clay confetti pieces from the Halloween Party Mix. I sandwiched a small piece of orange tulle mesh to make a flat shaker using 1/8 double sided tape. 

For the background I inkblended an orange ombré sky and used the Spooky Sky Stencil to ink the bats and emboss the clouds onto my Bristol cardstock. I gently splattered with water and black ink to distress and “spookify” the sky. 

I was excited to use up several pieces of patterned paper remnants, that I had in my stash, for each of the layers and side panels of the box. I adhered my images and shaker through the layers and even made sure to have some floating pieces using acetate strips. I finished this up by stamping a sentiment on the back and adding a final pumpkin. 

I hope you love this fun and spooky card and appreciate you stopping by to see how I created it. Now is the perfect time for you to stock up on your Halloween supplies at Pretty Pink Posh, all of the Halloween items are on sale- don’t miss out!

Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

Hi all! I’m Rebecca sharing a card I made with Pretty Pink Posh Candy Treats Dies! This die set is perfect for Halloween cards, but also can be used for other occasions!

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

There are so many fun ways to embellish these Candy Treats die cuts! The dies come with so many different options for tiny treats for Halloween and they look cute on a card just on their own, but it can be fun to add accents to them to. 

One way is to cut them out of colorful cardstock and add white gel pen details. You can add tiny white dots even on the tiniest die cuts!

Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

Another way is to add a coating of clear glaze. You can even adhere the die cut frosting accents to the candies with the clear glaze and once it dries it will be dimensional, shiny and have the frosting accent trapped in the glaze!

Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

You can use the same glaze to attach Monster Mash Confetti to the die cuts to create candy with sprinkles! 

Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

Or you can add a shimmer coat to the candies with a shimmer pen. Clear shimmer pens are great on colorful cardstock because while they add that shiny shimmery accent, they don’t fully change the color of the paper.

Halloween Theme Week- Day 5

To complete the card add a cute ghost from the Ghost Friends Stamp Set. To make the design of the card simple, use a basic grid to arrange the candies and make sure that each row has a mix of different embellishment effects!

Have fun with different color combinations and enjoy embellishing your die cuts! Thanks for stopping by!
