Hi friends, Debbie here today with the adorable Love Balloons stamp set. I love mixing new and previously released products. This was no exception, the hardest part was figuring out which cuties to use. So I used them all!

Let’s get started with stamping out all the cuties along with the balloons from the Love Balloons stamp set and Copic colored them in. Once colored die cut out with the coordinating dies. Also wanting cute bows hanging from the balloons. I stamped and colored them from Valentine Icons stamp set. Then die cut out with the coordinating dies.

Next was to make the panel and creative die cutting with the Eyelet Rectangle Dies. So take a panel measuring 4.5 X8.5 inches. Placing the second to largest die on the every edge of the panel. Place the cutting plate over it but off set to where you don’t cut both ends. Then once cut slide the die down and lock it in and off set the plate again. Run the die and panel through your die cutting machine. It will be matted with a red card stock in my stash.

Now that you have the correct size Eyelet panel. You’ll need a panel to stencil the hearts on from the Layered Heart Sprinkles– Layer B. I did an Ombré with the hearts with a red ink. I removed the stencil and lightly blended the remaining ink on my brush over the panel. Trim the panel down to fit within the stitching of the white panel.

Next, stamp and white heat emboss the sentiment from the new Valentine Greetings stamp set and die cut out with the coordinating dies. 

Lastly adhere together and pop up the images and sentiment with 3D foam squares and added three light pink Clay hearts from the Strawberry Valentine Mix.

Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty my friends!

Hi friends! Christina here to share a charming little card featuring one of my all-time favorite stamps, the Love stamp set. I couldn’t wait to design an inspiration project with it to celebrate Valentine Theme Week here at Pretty Pink Posh! I chose a feminine color palette of peach and rose and layered in plenty of dainty details like a soft Pinstripe over a Pierced Hearts background. Follow along below to see how this Valentine full of love came together!

My first step was to create the background. I started with die cutting the Pierced Hearts Plate from a peach cardstock and then stenciled it with the Pinstripe Stencil using white pigment ink. Next, I trimmed this panel to fit inside the stitched detail of the largest Eyelet Rectangle that I die cut from white cardstock and layered everything onto an A2 rosy pink cardstock panel. 

With the background completed, I got to work on the other elements. First, I stamped all the images from the Love stamp set that I planned on using with black ink. Then, using Copic markers, I colored just the larger, individual images using R43, YR61, G43, and W1. Just simple coloring with no shading. Easy! Next, I die cut everything with the coordinating dies before attaching them to my background panel. I used liquid adhesive for the images and thin foam squares for the letters.

Finally, I stamped a couple of sentiments on the rosy pink cardstock with clear embossing ink and then heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I chose one from last year’s Sentiment Strips: Valentine stamp set and die cut it with a thin Sentiment Strip and one from this year’s Valentine Greetings stamp set that I die cut with the coordinating dies. I attached both with foam squares, and that completed my charming little Valentine card.

Be sure to check the blog all week for tons of Valentine- themed inspiration! Thanks for following along, and I’ll see you again soon!

Hi crafty friends, it’s Sophie! Happy Valentine Theme Week!

I have the pleasure of sharing two cards I made featuring the Sending Love stamp & coordinating die set along with the Large Love Shadow die set. Keep on reading to find out how I made them!

For my first card I wanted to create something clean and simple that would highlight this little dog peeking out of a shipping box. Is he not just the cutest thing?! I used Copic markers to color him and just kept it simple with the shading and number of markers used. 

Copic Marker Colors:

Browns: E35, E33, E31, E30
Reds: R27, R24, R22, R20
Blues: B26, B24, B21

After cutting this little pup out using the coordinating dies, I added a faint bit of light blue ink blending in the background of the card panel to help him stand out a bit. For the sentiment I heat embossed part of one of the greetings from the set, but cut off the “love” part and instead used the Large Love Shadow die cut from red cardstock and vellum to finish off the greeting. I took the trio of red clay hearts from the new Strawberry Valentine Clay Embellishments! 

For my next card I couldn’t resist making a mail themed Valentine. I started off by coloring these images from the stamp set using my Copic markers (same colors as listed above), die cut them out, and then arranged a little scene. I used the Eyelet Circle dies to create a pink focal point/landing spot for my scene. I love that this happy mail sentiment comes with a coordinating die and I used white embossing powder on red cardstock so it would really pop on the scene. 

Which card is your favorite? I can’t decide! I hope this was inspiring for you and I hope that you have a wonderful day! 

Happy Day to you all, it’s Jill! Here in the Midwest, it always feels like crafting season when it’s wintertime, so I tend to get Valentine’s Day cards made and sent out.Today, I am happy to share this sweet Valentine I created with the new Layered Valentine Cake Pops Stencils–and a few more PPP goodies!

I decided I had to use the Strawberry Valentine Mix and therefore, this mix drove my card’s color scheme. Look at those little strawberries in the shaker! So stinking sweet!

I created the panel first using the aforementioned Layered Valentine Cake Pops Stencils. For this I used a few shades of red and pink inks, capping them all off with the “chocolate” sprinkles and hearts. This stencil is super easy to use with the three different layers and even easier if you have a handful of smaller blender brushes to keep from spreading ink to the wrong places.

I created the shaker windows with the new Double Heart Shaker. This die is quite delightful, in that it creates these two different windows (while staying connected) to fill with all the different shaker bit options.

The sentiment I chose to use is from the Valentine’s Greetings set (pssst… don’t forget the coordinating Valentine Greetings Dies). This is going to be a great Valentine to pop in the mail next month–and being I have it made already, it could arrive on time!! (I send many belated cards–shhhhhhh 🙂)

I added some stitching details to finish this lovely off and it’s ready to go. I don’t know about you, but I would like a chocolate covered strawberry now!

Thanks for joining me for a bit of PPP sweetness here today–Happy Creating!!

Hello, Gemma here today to share a CAS card featuring the new Fringe Heart die set.

There are 4 dies in the set to create the Fringe Heart. I picked some different colours of card stock to cut out each piece, then adhered them together. Avoid adding adhesive to the fringe areas so they can be fluffed up.

On a 5.25” card base, I stamped a greeting from the Sentiment Strips: Valentine stamp set. I used a stamp positioner to curve the sentiment around where the Fringe Heart would be placed on the card.

To add some more interest to the card base, I splattered it with some gold perfect pearls. I covered the sentiment temporarily with a strip of card, so as not to get any gold splatter on it.

Finally, I adhered the Fringe Heart in the centre of the card to finish.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you were inspired by this sweet and easy Valentine card.

Hello, Debbie here with the adorable Valentine Ghost Friends in a box card. How cute are they!?

First up was to build the box from Scallop Box Card Die with a pink card stock. You can make a couple of the layer shelves in the box card if you want. With the Layered Heart Sprinkles Stencil, ink blended on SSS- Lilac ink on a light blue card stock. I found that Distress Oxide Spun Sugar ink was the best for the hearts. That was over a pink die ink that wasn’t showing up. Die cut it out from the scallop dies from the Scallop Box Card Die Set.

Copic colors: B00, B000, R20. Hearts- R81, R83, R85, V22, V25, V28

Stamp out the needed ghosts from Valentine Ghost Friends stamp set. Once colored in die cut out them with the coordinating dies.

Next is the Hugs and hearts from the Valentine Bucket Additions Dies. The Hugs was die cut out from Lavender and the pink card stock the box and attached off set. Adhere together the hearts and add Glossy accents to the smaller hearts, set to the side to dry.

To make the ghosts fly and the “Hugs” stand up I used Acetate. Die cut acetate from the cake pop sticks from the Valentine Cake Pop die set and the smaller ones are from the Valentine Bucket Additions Dies. Use glue dots to adhere the acetate pics to the images and to the box.

I stamped out the sentiment then with the Sentiment Strips Dies it out, also a lavender scallop from the set to mat it.

Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty my friends!
