Hi folks, Kavya here with another fun sneak peek of the new release! If you love crafting and florals – THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU! I absolutely love what PPP did with the theme! My card today is an extension of my love for creating mini envelopes for my cards. I created a mini bouquet of flowers this time around to hold the gorgeous florals from the Spring Flowers set.
I first started off by creating my background by ink blending Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers distress oxide inks. I then used the Pinstripe Stencil create a fun background.
For the bouquet, I used a square piece of cream cardstock. I then folded it using the Kite fold like shown in the diagram but just make sure that the edges overlap instead of meeting at the center. Fold two flaps at the top and you are done!
Then, I filled the bouquet with some stamped and colored Spring Flowers and added a sentiment from Celebration Scripts to finish off my card.
Wasn’t that fun? Love how this turned out! Check back tomorrow for more sneak peeks of the May 16th release!
Hi friends, it’s Elaine from Pink Peppermint Cards on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today. I am absolutely delighted to be back to share a sneak peek at some of the products releasing May 16th. One set may look familiar as it was a free gift earlier this year but now it’ll be available for purchase!
I started this card with a piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock measuring 6.5” x 4”. I treated the whole panel of cardstock with an antistatic powder tool and used my Misti stamping tool to repeat stamp the pen, pencil and crayon border stamp from the Crafty Days stamp set with Versamark Ink. I used a fine white embossing powder to coat the clear inked panel and then heat set the powder until smooth and glossy. Taking my Distress Ink pad in Worn Lipstick I ink blended on to the panel with a blending brush, ensuring the focus of the color was around the edges and using a lighter hand towards the middle. Once I was happy with the ink blending, I cut the panel down to 5.75” x 3.25”. The panel was set aside to dry while I worked on the other elements of the card.
I stamped the images from Crafty Critters stamp set with a black dye ink on to copic friendly cardstock. I then used my copic markers to color these super cute images! Here are the colors I used:
Once the coloring was done, I cut out all the images with the Crafty Critters coordinating dies.
I created a card base for this card by cutting a piece of heavyweight white card 7”x 6” and scored the longest edge at 3.5”, this gave me a 6”x 3.5” side folding cardbase. I popped some foam tape on the back of the embossed ink blended panel and adhered it to the cardbase. To create a focal point for my little critters I cut the largest frame from the Stitched Photo Frames Die set twice and popped a layer of vellum behind the opening. I used a black pigment ink to stamp the sentiment included in the Crafty Critters stamp set on to each of the frames. I secured the frames to the front of the card with liquid adhesive and then secured the little critters and their accessories on top.
Using a white gel pen I added a few highlights to the colored images and some black glaze gel pen to finish off the nose and eyes. Finally, I added a few pink clay hearts because I can never get enough of clay hearts and I’m calling this card done!
Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope you enjoyed taking a quick sneak at some of the new products releasing this month, these products are perfect for creating some fun projects your crafty pals!
Hello, Gemma here today with a sneak peek of two new stamp sets from the May 16th release – Crafty Days and Crafty Sentiments.
For my first card, I stamped out a border four times from the Crafty Days stamp set. I coloured the images in a rainbow of copic markers, then die cut them with the Crafty Days coordinating die.
On a 5.25” card base, I stamped a greeting from the Crafty Sentiments stamp set. There are lots of great sentiments to choose from in the set.
I adhered the borders to my card base. To add some variation in dimension, I adhered a second die cut layer behind the 1st and 3rd borders. Once adhered to the card base, I trimmed away anything overhanging to finish.
Continuing the rainbow theme on my second card, I used the new Pinstripe stencil with distress oxide inks to add lots of colour to my A2 card base. The colours I chose were Saltwater Taffy, Squeezed Lemonade, Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac and Kitsch Flamingo.
I stamped and coloured two images from the Crafty Days stamp set. The coordinating die set comes with both a square to cut the images out, along with a scalloped square for layering.
On my card, I stamped a greeting from the Crafty Sentiments stamp set. I recommend using Versafine Onyx Black ink as it stamps well over the distress oxide inks.
I then used foam tape to adhere the images over white glitter scalloped squares, before adhering to my card base to finish.
I hope you enjoyed these cards. Join us tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!
Hello, Gemma here. Today I’m sharing a card featuring a lovely layering stencil set calledHappy Days. It makes such a cheerful and fun card, quickly and easily.
When using the layering stencils, I like to start with a 6×6” card panel. This allows me to get the stencils aligned properly.
I blended each layer with distress oxides – Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo, Spun Sugar, Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac, and Hickory Smoke.
On an A2 notecard (4.25 x 5.5”), I adhered three thin strips of coloured card, die cut using theStitched Strips die set. I chose colours to match the stencilled rainbows.
I trimmed down the stencilled panel and adhered it to the card above the stitched strips. For the sentiment, I used the Birthday Scripts stamp set. I stamped a smaller sentiment directly on the panel, then added a stamped and die cut greeting underneath.
I hope you enjoyed this card. Thank you for stopping by!
To start, I cut a 4 inch square in patterned cardstock and adhered it onto a 4.5 inch lavender card base. I then stamped, cut, and colored the images from the sets mentioned above. I used Copic markers – BG10, BV02/00/0000, E40, R22/20/00/000, Y13/11, and YG23/21.I then adhered the heart onto the card panel and placed a 3.5 inch square in vellum to soften the look of the heart. Next, I foam mounted the floral arrangement and butterflies on the vellum. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of kraft cardstock and glued onto the card panel.
That’s all for this Mother’s Day card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to use older stamp sets to make new cards. Have a great day!
Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing an adorable birthday card with you all.
I started my card by creating my card panel with the Spring Flowers stencil set. I love these stencils and I had to use them again!! They make such a pretty card panel. I used dye inks and kept my colors soft and “spring like.” Next, I used theSpring Circles set to stamp my bees. This set has such sweet images, perfect for this time of year. For my frames I used the Easter Circles dies. I love the stitching detail on these dies. Lastly, I used the Simple Sentiments set to stamp my birthday sentiment.
Thanks for joining me today and I hope you liked my card. I love creating cards like this, by just changing the sentiment they are perfect for so many occasions.
Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Today I’m sharing two cards that I made using some products from the Pretty Pink Posh March Spring/Easter release.
If you would like to watch how I made my cards, then watch my video.
I die cut a Scallop Circle die from white cardstock and adhered the circle frame and center of the circle to the card layer. I die cut the Butterfly Shaker die set two times using teal cardstock. I added both layers of the butterfly die cut to the center of the scallop circle, only gluing the center of the butterfly. I did not adhere the wings to the card front which gives a beautiful dimensional look. I added the Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix to the center of the butterfly. I added the sentiment from the Hugs stamp set to the card.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!
Hello friends, Gemma here. Today I have a card to share featuring the new Flat Pinwheelsand Smile Script die sets. Together, these make a fun and happy card.
I began by die cutting the two smaller size pin wheels from the Flat Pinwheels die set, using polka dot patterned papers. I then layered two together to make my pinwheels. For the centre, I adhered a pearl embellishment to match. For the pinwheel sticks, I die cut some Stitched Strips from Kraft card and adhered them to the back of the pinwheels. The Smile Script die is cut from two layers of white card, with a top layer of pink glitter card.
Next, I worked on the background. On a 5.25” square card base, I blended spun sugar distress oxide around the edge first, then blended some more through the Snowfall stencil to add some details.
I adhered the pinwheels to the card, followed by the scripty sentiment. For the dot on the ‘i’, I used a Pink Blush pearl. I used Lilac pearls, Sea Foam pearls and Creamsicle pearls for the middles of the pinwheels. They’re the perfect finishing touch.
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.
Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today with a cheerful Easter card. There are so many cute stamp sets from the latest release, and I was eager to use them on a card. I pulled out an older Easter set as well, and they work perfectly together.
I started by covering my entire card base with the Hoppy Easter Script Dies. Next I stamped lots and lots of images from Easter Signs, Easter Wreath, and Easter Bunnies and used Tombow ABT Pro markers (plus a few random markers in my stash) to do some basic coloring. I always find it helpful to stamp and color more than you think you’ll need. It makes it easier to make arrangements, takes away the stress if your coloring goes awry on a few, and gives you a head start on another card if you have some leftovers.
After all the images were colored, I cut them with the coordinating dies. Then I arranged a little scene, keeping the “rule of 3” in the back of my mind as I determined color placement. I used varying thicknesses in dimensional foam, so there would be a lot of dimension on the card.
Though simple in design, this card is packed with cuteness thanks to these darling new stamps and dies. They are the perfect combination for easy, enjoyable crafting!
I hope you were inspired to try this technique! Thanks for stopping by!
For the first layer of the butterflies, I will be ink blending using regular distress inks in Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, and Wilted Violet. I forget how vibrant and beautiful the regular distress inks are!
For the second layer, which adds detail to the wings, I went over the same areas with the same colors. Looking back, I wish I would have gone over it with a darker color because as the ink dried, it faded back a lot and the details didn’t show up as well.
The third layer of the stencil adds the body of the butterfly in which I used a dark grey dye ink from my stash.
I needed to break up the background a little so I added small strips of cardstock in colors that matched my background.
I finished the card off with a sentiment from Easter Signs stamp set heat embossed in white onto black cardstock.
Although I turned this into a Spring card, I think it would make a great encouragement or birthday card because of its vibrancy.
Hope you enjoyed today’s project and it brightened your day!
