Hello friends! It’s Leica here with a circle-shaped card, using a combination of previously-released stamp sets. I used the Spring Wreath stamp set and the Bee Friends stamp sets and their coordinating dies.

To start, I cut a 4.5 inch circle and ink blended it with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. I sprayed some water to get an oxidized effect and also splattered it with white acrylic paint. I also cut another 4.5 inch circle, ink blended it with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks, and cut with a grass die. I adhered the grass area onto the Kitsch Flamingo panel.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the wreath from the Spring Wreath stamp set and bees from the Bee Friends stamp set. I used Copic markers – BG10, N3/1/0, R22/20/00/000, Y15/13/11, YG23/21.

I then adhered the wreath onto the card panel and placed a smaller vellum on top for a softer look. I foam mounted the bees on top of the vellum. The sentiment is white heat embossed on a strip of black cardstock and adhered on the vellum. Lastly, I cut a 5 inch circle in light pink cardstock and adhered onto a card panel.

That’s all for this card. I hope that you like today’s card share and that I’ve inspired you to create a circle-shaped card.

Hello crafty friends. It’s Leica here today with a fun birthday shaker card. This is simple to recreate and great for mass-producing to have birthday cards in hand to send to friends and loved ones. 

I first cut the Birthday Cake Die in gold glitter cardstock that already has adhesive on the back. I got this from the big box store. I then adhere the cover panel onto a 4.25 x 5.5 inch clear acetate to make a window for the shaker. For the background, I used a cardstock that has dot prints. You can also make your own background using the Mini and/or Medium Polka Dots Stencils. For the shaker bits, I used the Cupcake Clay Confetti and Sherbet Clay Confetti. The sentiment is stamped onto a strip of pink cardstock and adhered onto the front of the card. Lastly, I adhered the shaker panel onto an A2 sized card base.

That’s all for this birthday card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to make a shaker card with this previously-released Birthday Cake Die. Have a great day!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a fun card that would be perfect to give to a fellow crafty friend, using the new Crafty Background Stencil and Crafty Sentiments stamp set. I decided to make a shaker card using these sets. 

I first cut a 5.5 inch square panel in white cardstock for the card base. I then ink blended through the Crafty Background Stencil.

Next, I cut a frame for the shaker using square shaped dies. I glued a sheet of acetate on the back of the frame and stamped the sentiment with Stazon Jet Black Ink before adding foam tape to create the shaker well. 

For the shaker bits, I went with Cupcake Clay Confetti and Blue Sky Seed Beads. I just love the way it sounds when you shake the card! Lastly, I adhered the card panel onto a 5.5 inch square card panel. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that I’ve inspired you to make a card with the new Crafty Background Stencil and Crafty Sentiments stamp set. Enjoy your day! 

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today.  It’s no secret that I was smitten by the Fall Foliage dies from the moment they were released. I rave about and create with them all of the time, so you can imagine my delight as soon as I laid eyes on the Spring Foliage dies! This set is packed with the same fabulousness, but in a slightly smaller scale and with the addition of stitched lines.  

The Spring Foliage dies can be colored and dressed up, but I also appreciate that their beauty can stand alone even in plain white, which is obviously the direction I chose to go here. Paired with a dark navy card base, it is quite the striking combo.

I created this card in a somewhat mirroring pattern. I used the newly released Praying For You Script die as the center focal point and built my design outward from there. Starting with the largest greenery, I placed one in the top left corner and a second matching die cut in the bottom right. Then I repeated the pattern on the opposite corners with a similar piece of greenery.  Visually it creates an “X”.  

Next I put a large flower in the center of the top and bottom and placed smaller flowers on opposite sides creating another visual “X”. I kept building outward, repeating the design with smaller images until I had filled pretty much every nook and cranny.  

I had so much fun making this card. The puzzle-loving side of me enjoyed finding just the right piece to fit in each spot, and amazingly I only had to run the dies through the die machine twice to get everything I needed (with lots of extras leftover). 

I’ve been blown away by this whole release and have had so much fun creating with everything in it, but I have to admit that the two dies I’ve used today are my absolute favorites.  They are most definitely worth adding to your collection!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. For more inspiration, head to the Pretty Pink Posh Instagram– we’re kicking off a three day hop there!

Hello, Gemma here. I’m using the fabulous new Layered Letters stencil set on my card today. I love using layered stencils as they create amazing backgrounds, quickly and easily.

I began with a 6″ square piece of card and Hickory Smoke distress oxide ink. I blended lightly through Layer B of the stencil set, concentrating the colour around the edges.

Next, I chose a rainbow of distress oxide inks and blended them through Layer A of the stencil set. The vibrant colours show up well over the grey ink.

Here is a list of the distress oxides I used for Layer A: Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Shabby Shutters, Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac, Kitsch Flamingo.

For the last layer, I used Nuvo Glacier Paste in Golden Era. The shine is beautiful! Make sure to clean off the stencil well after using any kind of paste. The panel will need to dry for a few hours, too.

Once the panel was fully dry, I trimmed it down to 5.25″ and adhered it to my card base.

For the sentiment, I cut a Stitched Strip of coloured card and stamped a greeting from the previously released Sending Love stamp set. I also cut a thinner strip of gold mirror card, then adhered both to my card to finish.

I hope you enjoyed this card. If you’re on Instagram, there will be a reel of how to create this card up very soon.
