Watercolor Trick or Treat

Hi friends! Sophie here today to share a fun Halloween card featuring new items from the August release (plus a few from prior releases!).

For this card I wanted to feature the new Halloween Word Scenes stamp and coordinating die set. I think this set is super unique and versatile. I shamelessly hope that more sets like this come out for other holidays too! I stamped out the “Trick or Treat” image and colored it with Copic markers. I kept the actual letters plain and just colored them with one shade of gray marker. I wanted the little icons of the mood, pumpkin, and candy corn to pop on the image so I made those more bold with colors and shading.

To fill in some space below my greeting I used images from the new Spider Friends stamp and coordinating die set. I think it is fun to really showcase little filler images from sets as it helps get more milage out of your supplies.

For the base of my card I used the previously released Watercolor Rectangle stencil and did an ombre inking of yellow to orange to peach. I really love this stencil, it is one of my most used as it can create a fun abstract background for just about anything! To finish the card off I used some Sparkling Clear Confetti and also stamped the little bats using black ink from the Halloween Greetings stamp set directly on to the panel.

I hope you feel inspired!

Love Potion Bottles

Hello, my batty friends! Justin here and I am super excited to be sharing with you a really fun way to use the brand new Potion Bottle Shaker Die Set from the Pretty Pink Posh August Release!

When I saw these potions bottle shapes, I thought it would be SO much fun to use them as some sort of a love-potion theme, so I took that idea and put a little bit of a bloodsucking spin on it!

Halloween Candy Hearts Coordinating Die Set
Crackle Background Stencil
Halloween Friends Clay Confetti

For my potion bottles, I took the base of each bottle and die cut it twice from white blending cardstock, so that I had (2) of each potion bottle shape. I took each of the bottle tops and die cut them once from kraft cardstock, and each of the potion bottle labels and die cut them once from a light pink cardstock.

Using the white potion bottle die cuts, I ink blended the top edges of one of each shape with Salvage Patina Distress Oxide Ink to give it a bit of a glass look. Then, using the 2nd set of white potion bottle die cuts, I ink blended them using a combination of Red, Pink, and Red Violet colors to come up with various blends blends for the potion itself. I used the following Distress Oxide Ink colors: Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Lumberjack Plaid and Seedless Preserves. Once blended, I splattered the panels with water to get some bleach spots.

With a set of scissors, I cut a straight line across the top of the blended potion die cuts so that it looked like the potion itself didn’t fill up the full bottle. I adhered each potion die cut on top of the coordinating full potion bottle die cut with the Salvaged Patina blending.

For the potion bottle tops, I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink to blend the bottom edge of each top, and adhered them into place. Then, taking Worn Lipstick Distress Ink, I blended the left and right edges of the Potion Bottle Label Die Cuts, and adhered them onto their coordinating bottle.

To embellish the bottles further, I grabbed the Halloween Candy Hearts stamp set and stamped out the heart that read “Batty for you” in Rouge Ink by Catherine Pooler Designs. Then, to fill in the heart, I stamped the solid heart stamp using Rose Petals Ink by Catherine Pooler Designs. I grabbed the coordinating dies and cut the heart out, adhering it with foam tape to the center of the smallest bottle.

I then die cut the small bat die cuts included with the Potion Bottle Shaker Die Set from gray cardstock, blended the edges with Black soot Distress Ink, and adhered a few of them onto the 2 larger bottles. I had a couple of the little bat die cuts left over, so I saved them for later.

The background for my card came together nicely. I took a 4.125” x 5.375” panel of light pink cardstock, placed the Crackle Background Stencil over it, and blended up an ombré using Tattered Rose, Saltwater Taffy and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered the panel with Opaque Black Paper Splatter.

Using foam tape and liquid adhesive, I arranged my potion bottles into a trio cluster, and adhered them to my card panel. I added the leftover die cut bats as embellishment towards the top right of my panel, and also used a few clay slices from the Halloween Friends Clay Confetti as well!

Finishing this card off, I adhered it to a white A2-size card base and was fully completed!

I hope this card sparks some spooky inspiration for how you can use the Potion Bottle Shaker Die Set to craft up elixirs for many occasions!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!

Halloween Spider Greetings

Hello everyone! Leanne here to share a Halloween shaker card. I absolutely love the new Spider Shaker die. He’s just too cute to spook and makes such an impactful element on an A2 size card. To fill the shaker I used some Spellbound Shaker Beads. The whimsical color combo of this bead mix seemed just right for my spider themed card. The background on this card is a blend of Dusty Concord and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide inks with lots of splattering. 

Besides the Spider Shaker, I used some other Pretty Pink Posh die sets to complete this card. For the hat, I used dies from an older set – Halloween Mug Additions. It’s the perfect size for the spider! 

The little web and spider dies are included in the Halloween Holder Additions. They made some fun embellishments to fill the spaces around the large spider. 

The Halloween Greetings stamp set includes a variety of spook-tacular sentiments. I picked out a couple to add to my card. I white heat embossed them on black card stock so they would really stand out. 

I’ll leave you with a few my creative tips to make any Halloween card even more fa-boo-lous! Add google eyes to Halloween critters. I keep a stash of different shapes and sizes on hand for this purpose. Cut a thin strip of card stock to use as a web string for the spider to hang from. Lastly use an action wobbler to attach the spider onto the card. The wobbler action is perfect for a shaker element and makes the card tons more fun for the recipient!

Halloween Cake Pops

Hello, friends! Brenda here and I’m super excited to be back on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today! My card features the absolutely darling Halloween Cake Pops Die SetCake Pops Layering Stencils and the Happy Halloween Script Dies!

I normally start with my focal point, but this time I decided to create the background first. I couldn’t wait to ink up the adorable Cake Pop Stencil Set! I used a combination of dye inks in shades of orange, green, purple, light blue and black on a panel of white cardstock. Once the ink was dry, the panel was die-cut with a rectangle die and adhered to an A2 panel of light blue cardstock. I almost always create a frame around the background of my cards (unless it’s a scene). I think it finishes if off nicely!

Next, I selected shades of cardstock that matched the ink on my background to created the cake pops with the Halloween Cake Pops Die Set. I used orange, green, lilac, light blue and black cardstock. I added shading to the die-cuts with the same inks that I used on the background to create some dimension, then adhered them together with liquid glue. I die-cut a piece of vellum with the second largest die in the Eyelet Rectangles Die Set. The cake pops were arranged on the vellum panel and the sticks were adhered with liquid glue, while the cake pops were popped up with foam tape. The vellum was adhered to the background, adding liquid glue only behind the die-cuts.

The top layer of the sentiment was cut from green glitter cardstock and the shadow layer from black cardstock using the Happy Halloween Script Die Set. I also die-cut three more layers of the shadow from heavyweight white cardstock, stacked and adhered them all together with liquid glue, then added them to the bottom of the card. I added a trio of purple clay hearts from the Halloween Friends Mix to finish off the card.

That does it for me!! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Halloween Fringe Pumpkin

Hi friends! Christina here to share a whimsical Halloween card featuring some of the new die sets in the latest spooky season release. I used the newest addition to the growing fringe dies collection, the Fringe Pumpkin, and paired it with the new Happy Halloween Shadow dies, which I also used to create a fun tone-on-tone text background. Grab your die-cutting machine, and let’s get started!

Fringe Pumpkin Dies
Happy Halloween Shadow Dies

Halloween Mug Addition Dies – moon & stars
Big Halloween Cupcake Dies – scripty “boo” for background
Spooky Mug Additions Dies – small pumpkin for background
Stitched Pumpkins – leaves & vines

I started by creating the text background on a black cardstock panel trimmed slightly smaller than A2, about 4 x 5 ¼ inches. Then I die-cut multiple sets of the Happy Halloween, the scripty boo, and the small pumpkin from more black cardstock. I glued these randomly across the black cardstock panel, staggering the words and the pumpkin, letting them hang off the edges of the panel and trimming them afterwards. Two tips: you don’t have to fill in the area behind the fringe pumpkin, but you’ll need some scrap cardstock behind it so that it will be flush with the other text, and the text that you trim from the edges can be used to fill in other areas! 

I finished the background panel by using gold Perfect Pearls powder mixed with a little water to add some metallic gold spatter and then mounted it to a black A2 cardstock panel with foam tape. 

Next, I got to work die-cutting the other elements of my card design. I used ivory and green cardstock for the components of the pumpkin and gold glitter cardstock for the sentiment and the moon and stars. I attached these to the text background and then finished things up by mounting it to an A2 card base. 

Thanks for reading about this whimsical Halloween card design featuring new dies from the latest release! See you again soon!

Pretty Pink Posh always makes the CUTEST Halloween goodies and the latest release does not disappoint!!! The Spider Shaker is just adorable!!!

[First Video Hop + Giveaways!] Trick or Treat Cake Pops

Hi friends, it’s Lauren Taylor! I’m excited to share a project using some of the brand-new products from the Pretty Pink Posh August 2025 Halloween Release.

This project is part of our August Video Hop! Check the description in the video for links to the next stop so you can keep hopping along for tons of Halloween inspiration.

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

Today, I’m featuring the Halloween Cake Pops Stencils to create a colorful background and pairing it with the Halloween Word Scenes Stamps and Dies for a bold sentiment.

I started with an A2 panel of white cardstock and layered the Halloween Cake Pops Stencils to build my background. For the first stencil, I inked the pumpkins in Carved Pumpkin, the ghosts in Tumbled Glass, the Frankenstein pops in Twisted Citron, and the cats in Wilted Violet Distress Inks. Then, I used Black Soot for the second stencil to add all the adorable faces and details, and finished with Tea Dye for the cake pop sticks. After splattering Hickory Smoke Distress Spray for some shine, I set my panel aside to dry.

For the sentiment, I stamped “Trick or Treat” from the Halloween Word Scenes Stamps, colored it with coordinating OLO markers to match the background, added white gel pen highlights, and die cut it using the Halloween Word Scenes Coordinating Dies. To help the sentiment stand out, I adhered it to a black oval from the Eyelet Ovals die set with foam strips before gluing everything to my background.

To finish, I attached the completed panel to a white A2 card base. I love how the colorful cake pops create such a playful vibe, and the bold sentiment really pops against the black oval!

Don’t forget to hop along to the next video in the description for more amazing Halloween projects from the Pretty Pink Posh team!

August Intro: New Stamps + Potion Bottle Shakers

Welcome to the last day of sneak peeks of our August 7th release. Today we’ll be taking a look at the new stamps sets, along with the Potion Bottle Shakers die set.

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


Hey there, crafty ghouls and goblins — Arsenia here, with some frightfully fun crafty inspiration! It’s the last day of sneak peeks for the August Release, and we’ve saved some serious spooky fun for the grand finale. 

Get ready to fall under the spell of our new Potion Bottle Shakers, fabulous new stamp sets with coordinating dies, and enough Halloween charm to make you squeal with joy. This release is downright spooktacular, and I’m bubbling over with excitement for you to sink your fangs into all this crafty Halloween goodness! 

I started off with the brand new Layered Potions Stencil Set to set the mood, and then brought in the star of the show — the Potion Bottle Shaker die! Inside, I added a mix of the bits from the new Spellbound Shaker Beads — instant potion magic! 

To make this scene even cuter, I grabbed the adorable new Spider Friends stamp set (with coordinating dies of course!). These little spider cuties are already crawling into my favorites — just look at their faces! I colored everything with Olo markers and added some spooky flair with the new Halloween Greetings stamp set for the perfect potion sentiment.

And I couldn’t resist sneaking in a “Creeping by to say Hi” — because honestly, how cute is that?! 

But wait — a little crafty twist! My background was looking a bit too busy, so I sliced a piece of lime green cardstock on the diagonal to make it look like a little shelf for my potion scene. A few mini spider webs (from the new Halloween Holder Additions Dies) and a soft vellum oval using the Eyelet Ovals and BOOM — one wickedly adorable card complete with white gel pen highlights for that magical finishing touch. 

Card number two took a spookier turn — and I’m obsessed! I started by blending ink onto lilac cardstock using the new Spooky Trees Background Stencil, then added a dash of white splatter to summon that eerie nighttime vibe. 

Enter my new obsession: the Halloween Word Scenes Stamp Set + Dies. These images? SO. MUCH. FUN. I colored them all up with my Olo markers and knew they needed a frame — so I reached for my trusty Wonky Stitched Rectangles Dies. To give the frame a little haunted texture, I did partial stenciling with the new Crackle Background Stencil. Perfection!

Once everything was in place, I added even more creepy-cute details with bonus images from the Spider Friends and Halloween Greetings sets. And then — wait for it — I had the ghoulishly brilliant idea to add googly eyes peeking through the trees… YES, like little monsters watching from the shadows! EEK! It’s spooky, it’s whimsical, and it makes me giggle every time I look at it!

So grab your broomsticks, your markers, and your love of all things spooky — and check out the rest of the design team’s BOO-tiful creations below! 

We hope you’ve enjoyed all the sneak peeks so far. We’ll be revealing all the products in picture form tomorrow, so you can start making your wish lists before the August 7th release date.
