Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 7

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 7

Hello, Jeanne here for the last day of the Thermoweb collaboration week.

I just love to select stamp sets and dies that make my heart happy so I can send smiles across the miles. Today I wanted to demonstrate that behind all the cute images and detailed dies there’s great adhesives and bling that make every detail just right. This week we’re collaborating with Thermoweb and sharing a little “behind the image” products that can make your crafting time easier and more satisfying.

This card starts with a Distress Oxide inky panel in shades of blues and greens and that would be gorgeous alone… but how about kicking it up a notch? I applied Gina K Glitz Gel in Iridescent over the entire panel for a glamourous glittery upgrade.  I love to use iridescent because I can smear it over any solid color background… ink or colored cardstock for some added sparkle. 

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 7

I topped the sparkly panel with a Pretty Petals cover die using Mixed Media Multi-Purpose Adhesive. Liquid adhesive is great because you have a little “wiggle room” allowing you to adjust the die cut  before it dries for perfect positioning every time. I cut a window in the center of the cover panel using the oval shape from the Decorative Tag 1 set

Did you know you can add foil to your projects without having a foiler machine? To add gold to the oval insert on the frame I cut a piece Deco Foil Foam Adhesive Sheets, peeled the coating off one side and adhered some gold Deco Foil and then ran the piece through my die cut machine. I recommend applying the foil BEFORE you cut your die because the pressure from the die cut machine gives a smooth finish to the gold foil.

The finished assembled background is elegant and sparkly perfect for a proud peacock. Remember that behind every beautiful project you’ll find reliable Thermoweb adhesives and elegant bling.  

Thank you for joining us this week for a fun collaboration. We hope you’ve been inspired by all the projects featuring Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web!

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 6

Hello, Kavya here and welcome to another day of the Pretty Pink Posh + Thermoweb collaboration!

Foiling is the new fad in cardmaking and I am all for it! If you like critters like me, it can be a bit difficult to incorporate foiling into cardmaking. One easy way to do so is to add foiled backgrounds!

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 6

Thermoweb has a bunch of toner card fronts in simple designs that make it super easy to foil. For today’s card, I used the Candy Stripes toner card front with their stunning Fancy Foils Silver Sequins foil that has a beautiful rainbow glimmer when viewed from the side! After foiling it using my minc (heat seating 3), I ink blended the background using dye inks in shades of pink, orange, yellow, green and teal.

Finally, I stamped and colored images from Pretty Pink Posh’s Crafty Days and Sending Love sets and adhered them on the foiled background to create a fun card for a crafty best friend!

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 6

I hope this card inspires you to try out foiling with some critters! 

Happy crafting, Kavya

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 5

Hello, Gemma here today to share a fun foiled birthday card featuring Pretty Pink Posh and ThermoWeb products. I’m a huge fan of foiling. I think it adds an extra special touch to a card and a wow factor for the recipient.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 5

For my foiled background, I used a ‘Lots of Dots’ Deco Foil Toner Card Front. These are A2 sized and come in a pack of 8. There are lots of other fun design packs to choose from, perfect for quick foiled backgrounds.

I covered the card front with a sheet of Deco Transfer Gold Foil, then placed them both inside a piece of folded parchment paper. I ran them through my laminator, following the instructions on the card fronts packet. The results are beautiful – it’s difficult to capture the full effect on camera.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 5

Next, I stamped images from the Pretty Pink Posh Build a Cupcake stamp set. This is a great set for creating different styles of cupcakes. I used copic markers to colour them and die cut them with the coordinating dies.

I added the foiled card front to an A2 card base, then added the cupcakes popped up with foam tape. The sentiment is also from the Build a Cupcake stamp set. I added extra die cut layers behind the word, which I find is the easiest way to add dimension.

To finish, I added some white gel pen highlight details to the cupcakes.

Quickly create amazing backgrounds using the Thermoweb Deco foil! Mindy here for a collaboration post for Pretty Pink Posh and Therm O Web. For my card today, I’m using the gorgeous Mystic Rainbow foil which is a multi-color roll of foil.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 4

I put a piece of double sided adhesive onto a white card panel measuring 4 1/5″ x 5 3/4″ to leave room for die cutting. I made sure to push down really well all over the panel.

I removed the backing of the double sided adhesive sheet and added a piece of the Mystic Rainbow foil measuring about the same size. Once this is burnished down really well, I can peel up the clear liner to reveal a full panel of foil cardstock. Quick and easy! 

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 4

Then all you need to do is die cut out what ever you are working on for your project. I’ll be using the Love Hearts die. The shine…. the colors…. it’s all too amazing!

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 4

I didn’t need to add much more to the card front except for a small sentiment which is from the Simple Sentiments stamp set heat embossed in white onto black cardstock. 

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 4

I topped it off with a few Sparkling Clear Confetti and now we have this stunningly foiled card that literally took me minutes to make! 

Hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration!

You Are Dino-Mite!

Hey friends! Elaine here to share another project featuring the adorable dinosaurs from the June release. I’ve fallen completely in love with these sets, and I hope you like this card and tag combo!

Pretty Pink Posh: You Are Dino-Mite!

I created a white 5” x 5” card base from heavyweight white card and set aside. The front panel was cut from more heavyweight white card measuring 4.75” x 4.75”. Using the largest circle die from Let’s Party coordinating dies I cut a window from the front of the card panel and stamped the sentiment using a brown pigment ink. To create the hills to sit behind the circular opening I used the curved die from Stitched Borders 1 Dies and used Vintage Photo Distress Ink to add colour and dimension. I secured them to the back of the card panel at different angles to help give the illusion of desert landscape.

Pretty Pink Posh: You Are Dino-Mite!

Taking the card base, I applied a light layer of Stormy Sky Distress Ink directly to the base to give the scene some sky; being careful not to go too near the edges. The front panel was secured centrally to the card base with foam tape. Lastly, I secured the dinosaurs and palm trees from Dinosaur Friends and Dinosaur Additions with liquid adhesive to the scene.  

I’d previously colored a big batch of images so I knew I had enough to create a tag to go with the card.  I cut the large tag from the Scalloped Square Tag die, three times.  I then used the same curved stitched border die to create two hills.  Masking the scalloped edges, I applied Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the hills and Stormy Sky to the base tag. All three layers were then secured together with liquid adhesive. 

Pretty Pink Posh: You Are Dino-Mite!

To finish the tag, I glued on my dinosaur and palm trees, punched a hole, added some ribbon and voila….we have a matching card and tag set that will put a smile on anyone’s face!

Thank you for stopping by!

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 3

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today with a fun project combining some fabulous products from Pretty Pink Posh and Thermoweb. Using Deco Foil Transfer Sheets really adds a fun “wow” factor to this otherwise simple card.

Affiliate links are used for products that are not sold in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 3

For my project I used the Deco Foil Transfer Sheets in Jade, Deep Blue, and Magenta. I pulled out my ink pads, found matching colors, and then lightly blended on the ink using the Layered Butterfly Stencils. I blended ink on just the first two stencil layers and on the third and final layer, I used Deco Foil Transer Gel Blanco. This layer shows the details on the butterfly wings. The Transfer Gel takes about an hour to dry, so while I waited I worked on a second foiling project. (More on that to come!)

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 3

Once the gel was dry, I cut small squares of the Jade, Deep Blue, and Magenta transfer sheets and laid them on top of the dried gel.  Next, I placed the entire card inside a folded piece of parchment paper and ran it through my laminating machine.  You don’t have to have a fancy laminator for this.  Mine is “as old as the hills” as my grandma would say (I think it’s about 15 years old!), and it did the trick just fine to adhere the foil to my card. 

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 3

I kept the card layout simple, so the background could really shine…hee hee (pun intended ;) ). I simply placed my butterfly background on top of a light blue card base, trimmed a flag to ground the sentiment, and cut a circle using the Birthday Circles Coordinating Dies

I added just a touch more foiling to my card by cutting the Hello Script die out of Deco Foil Peel and Stick Toner Sheets and running it through the laminator with a Deep Blue Deco Foil Transfer Sheet. It adds a beautiful shine that compliments the background nicely.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 3

And that’s it my friends!  These products were so easy and fun to work with, and I can’t stop smiling at the beautiful shine on my card.  I hope you’ll give them a try!  

And if you are interested in seeing the second project I made while the Transfer Gel Blanco was drying, you can pop on over to my blog HERE.  I’ll give you a peek below.

Loads of Love

Hello Friends! Raquel here today sharing a fun and colorful project featuring the new Layered Construction Trucks Stencils released on June 16th.

Pretty Pink Posh: Loads of Love

I have always loved layered stencils and these ones are no exception. These trucks are so much and unique to “play” with!!! I started off by choosing my color combo, something that really takes me some time as I’m always drawn to use all sorts of shades and in the end I need to narrow down my selection. So for this first design, I chose to use Saltwater Taffy, Squeezed Lemonade and Shaded Lilac Distress Inks along with Black Shoot for the wheels and Gathered Twigs for the sand.

I’m amazed at how easy these came together. Each layer adds more depth and detail to the final design and the alignment is super easy.

Pretty Pink Posh: Loads of Love

I wanted to add some dimension to these tracks so I die cut some of them using the Construction Trucks coordinating dies which worked like a charm with some trucks.  

Finally I just white heat embossed the sentiment Loads of Love from the Construction Truck Stamp Set and added some hearts from the Love Letters Clay Confetti.

Pretty Pink Posh: Loads of Love

Lastly I trimmed this A2 front panel to 4x 5 ¼ and adhered it to a heavyweight white card base.

I hope I gave you some ideas with this design. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 2

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 2

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am so excited to be sharing a project for the Pretty Pink Posh and Therm O Web collaboration. My card uses the Flock Transfer Sheets from Therm O Web to add a fun texture to my card panel.

Affiliate links are used for products that are not sold in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 2

I started my card by using the Layered Letters stencils and dye ink to create my card panel. I lightly sprayed the back of the stencils with Pixie Spray, and used a blending brush to lightly add ink to both stencil A and B. 

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 2

Next, I used stencil C (the hearts) and added Deco Foil Transfer Gel across the stencil with a palette knife. I let the gel dry until it was clear and then ran it through my laminator with a Flock Transfer Sheet in White Latte. The flock adheres to the gel and you are left with a fun velvety texture on your card panel.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 2

Next, I used the Sending Love set for my stamped images and sentiment. I stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers and used the Sending Love coordinating dies to cut them out. I then attached the images and sentiments to my card panel with foam adhesive. I love that Therm O Web carries the jumbo rolls of foam adhesive in both white and black. The black is perfect to mount behind a sentiment strip so you don’t see the white edge. I have been using their foam adhesive for a little over a year now and I am very happy with its strength, dimension and price. 

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 2

I hope I inspired you to try using some of the fun products that Therm O Web offers. Come back tomorrow for another day of inspiration!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Now for giveaway… To enter, all you need to do is leave a comment here and on the Therm O Web blog. Winners will be announced on June 26th. Good Luck!

Congrats New Driver!

Hello, Gemma here. My card today features the fun Layered Cars stencil set and Across the Miles stamp set. I think they are perfect for a ‘congratulations on passing your driving test‘ card.

Pretty Pink Posh: Congrats New Driver!

I began with Layer C of the Layered Cars stencil, blending distress oxides in the following colours:

  • Stormy Sky, Cracked Pistachio, Abandoned Coral, Peacock Feathers, Squeezed Lemonade, Hickory Smoke.

Next, Layer B with the following colours of distress oxide ink:

  • Hickory Smoke, Mowed Lawn, Candied Apple, Black Soot

With the last layer, Layer A, I added some of the details with distress oxide ink:

  • Hickory Smoke, Black Soot, Carved Pumpkin
Pretty Pink Posh: Congrats New Driver!

I cleaned the stencil, then repositioned it over the background. I then applied Nuvo Glacier Paste in Quicksilver for the wheel hubcaps, lights and handles. I covered any areas of the stencil with washi tape where I didn’t want to add the paste. Remember to clean the stencil well after using any kind of paste.

In a few areas of the background, I stamped some fun sentiments from the Across the Miles stamp set. Once the paste had dried, I trimmed down the background and added it to a 5.25” square card base. I left space underneath for a die cut silver card stock Stitched Strip, and a Congratulations sentiment from the Simple Sentiments stamp set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Congrats New Driver!

Next, I stamped a car from the Across the Miles stamp set and coloured it with copic markers: B93-97, C5, R22, Y11, BG70 BG000.

I die cut the image with the coordinating die and added two layers behind for dimension. I adhered it on to a die cut silver card circle, using a die from the Halloween Circles coordinating die set. I then added them both to the card to finish.

Pretty Pink Posh: Congrats New Driver!

I hope you enjoyed these cards. Thank you for stopping by!

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 1

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 1

Hello Friends! Welcome to Pretty Pink Posh and Thermoweb Collaboration week. Raquel here and I’m so happy to create some projects combining products from these companies! 

The first item that came to my mind when I planned my projects was the Toner Sheets. These are simply perfect to create quick and easy die cuts with foil. I decided to create a colorful card with the Spring Frame die and the Deco Foil Transfer Sheets Rainbow Shattered Glass.

Affiliate links are used for products that are not sold in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 1

First, I used the Spring Foliage die set and one of the Toner Sheets trimmed down to 4 ¼ and 5 ½ to die cut the frame. Then I turned on my Minc Machine and set it to temperature 3. 

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 1

Once the machine light turned green, I prepared my sandwhich with one sheet of printer paper folded in half and a piece of 5 ½ x 5 ½ cardstock over which I place the diecut frame and a piece of deco foil piece cut to the same size with the pretty side up.

I run this sandwich through and just like that I got myself a gorgeous Spring Frame with this gradient colors.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 1

To add some volume to my project, I decided to die cut some more flowers using the Spring Foliage die set with toner sheets and the same deco Foil sheets. I also dry embossed an A2 panel with the Floral Background Stencil.

Finally, I added my sentiment. I used the Hello Script die with Black glitter cardstock and placed some Sparkling Clear Confetti Sequins.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 1

For my next project, I wanted to create a card filled with colorful flowers around a geometric sentiment. I instantly grabbed my Hi Shaker Die and die cut several pieces of this beautiful hexagon frame out of white cardstock.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 1

Then I die cut some more flowers out of some Toner Sheets using the Spring Foliage Die set.

I placed all these die cut toner flowers on my sandwhich and cut some deco foil pieces in diferents sections so each flower was different and making sure they followed the same gradient look of the Foil itself.

Then I used the Butterflies Background Stencil to dry embossed an A2 size panel.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 1

I decided to trim a hexagon that could filled the front Hi Shaker die, so the back of this front die cut piece was completely flat. My idea was to create a visible contrast between the background and the back of the sentiment. I wanted a smooth surface to add some color to this backdrop  

I arranged my flowers around the Hi Shaker die onto the A2 dry embossed piece and before adhering the sentiment, I ink blended the edges of the backdrop of my hexagon hi shaker front panel following the color pattern of my flowers.

Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 1

I also die cut some greenery out of white cardstock and placed some Sparkling Clear sequins here.

Hope you like these projects! I can assure you I had so much fun creating these cards using the Toner Sheets and the Deco Foil. I love to use my products in different ways and the products from Thermoweb were just gorgeous!

As always, I do hope I was able to inspire you. I also want to encourage you to check all the projects that will be shared on Pretty Pink Posh Blog. There will be tons of inspiration for you this week!

Happy crafting!
