For my first card, I created an infinity shaker card. To begin, I cut an A2 piece of Bristol smooth cardstock and lightly ink blended it with Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide inks. I then placed the Scattered Hearts Stencil over my inked background and blended Picked Raspberry and Kitsch Flamingo to create a subtle heart background. I then put the inked background into an A2 cello bag and filled it with Pink Hearts Clay ConfettiWhite Hearts Clay Confetti, and Be Mine Valentine Clay Confetti, then sealed it up.

Next, I die cut a white cloud border using the Stitched Borders 2 Dies, trimmed it to fit, stamped my sentiment, and attached it to the front of my shaker. Lastly, I arranged the colored images onto my card and attached them using foam tape, then attached the shaker to a white A2 card case using strong adhesive.

For my next card, I created a simple heart shaker card using the adorable images from the Love Balloons stamp set. I started by cutting an A2 card base using hot pink cardstock. Next, I cut a smaller white rectangle, then cut a heart opening using the All My Love Coordinating Dies. I inked a panel of Bristol cardstock using Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide inks, and then lightly stenciled some hearts with Kitsch Flamingo using the Scattered Hearts Stencil. I attached a piece of acetate to cover the heart opening and lined the back of the panel with foam tape. I sprinkled Pink Hearts Clay ConfettiWhite Hearts Clay Confetti, and Be Mine Valentine Clay Confetti onto the inked background and attached the white panel to the hot pink cardstock to create the shaker.

Lastly, I attached the stamped images to my card using foam tape for dimension and stamped the sentiment in black ink to complete my card.

Big hugs,

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 5

Hello crafty friends! It’s Yoonsun here to share a Valentine’s Day card with the Heart Vines die along with other new products. I just love the Heart Vines die and it’s a perfect for making love-themed cards!

I started by ink blending A2 sized white card base with Tattered Rose & Worn Lipstick Distress inks. I then die cut the Heart Vines from thick white cardstock, tiny hearts from red cardstock. I made a pink heart background for the center of the card using the Layered Hearts Stencils and Picked Raspberry & Worn Lipstick Distress inks.

I mounted the Heart Vines panel, tiny red hearts and pink heart shape onto the card front using foam tape, and then decorated around the pink heart with Pink Blush & Bubblegum Pearls. For the sentiment, I used the Hugs Script die.

Valentine Theme Week- Day 4

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 4

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Today I’m going to make a card using some fun new products from Pretty Pink Posh.

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

For my card, I used the following stamp sets: Valentine WreathLove Borders, and Sending Love. I started off by coloring the stamps using Copic markers.

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 4

Below is a list of Copic markers that I used.

Wreath
Red – R21, R22, R24
Gray – CO, C4, Blender
Purple – BV000, BV01
Green – G00, G02
Pink – RV00, RV52, RV55
Yellow – Y11, Y13, Y15

Dog
Ears (Dark Gray) – C4, C5, C7
Body (Light Gray) – C0, C1, C3
Paws – C5, C7
Nose – C7
Tongue – R20
Collar – R22, R24

Box
Pink – RV00, RV52, RV55
Gray – C0, C4, Blender
Red – R24

After I finished coloring the stamps, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

Next, I die cut a Scallop Circle Die two times – once with red cardstock and once with white cardstock. I used the red piece for the outside of the frame and the white piece for the inside of the frame. I added Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink to the center of the white piece.

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 4

The trick to make the wreath look larger is to cut the wreath in half. Make sure you cut the wreath down the horizontal center at 1.75 inches so that you end up with a top half and bottom half.

Next, I cut a piece of green cardstock that measures 4 1/8” x 1” and adhered it to the center of a piece of white cardstock that measures 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. Next, I added each piece of the wreath so that the flat edge of the wreath is touching the green strip of cardstock. Then I added two heart borders – one at the top of the green strip and the other one at bottom of the green strip.

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 4

To finish my card, I added the scallop circle die cut frame to the center and added the dog stamp on top of the scallop circle. Finally, I added the card layer to an A2 size red card base.

Valentine Theme Week- Day 3

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 3

Hello, it’s Gemma here today for Valentine Theme Week.

The new Valentine Wreath stamp set is showcased on my card today. I offset the wreath for a fun alternative design. I began with the background, using the new Scattered Hearts stencil to dry emboss a pattern on the right side of a card panel. The plate sandwich will depend on your die cutting machine, so experiment to get the desired look. You may want to add shims for a deeper impression.

Be sure to stop by the Valentine section as all items there are 15% off this week!

I then lightly used a blending brush to add Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo distress oxide ink colours. I started from the right hand side, fading out the colour as I went. The ink highlights the embossed details nicely. I adhered this panel to my card base.

Wreath: E40 E41 R20 R22 R81 B91 BG72 Bird: R00 R81 RV34 B91 B34 R20

Next, I stamped images from two new stamp sets – Valentine Wreath and Sending Love. I coloured them with copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies. I used foam tape to adhere the bird and wreath to the card.

For the sentiment, I stamped a greeting from the Valentine Wreath stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink on a piece of white card. I then heat embossed it with a clear shimmer embossing powder.

I die cut the sentiment and added layers behind for dimension, then adhered to my card to finish.

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 2

Hello friends, it’s Raquel! Welcome to day 2 of Valentine theme week. From January 24th to January 30th we will be focusing on Valentine designs. 

We will be offering inspiration each day and there will be a 15% discount on all the items on Pretty Pink Posh Valentine’s Day Section during this theme week.

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 2

I have created a card featuring the Sending Love set.

The first step was to create a background for my creatures. I used the Scattered Hearts Stencil to create a gradient look. I used Seedless Preserves, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar Distress Inks.

Next I die cut this cute little tag from the set Decorative Tags Die 2. I applied the same inks only to the lower and upper part of the tag, leaving the center white so that my focal image popped up more.

Next I colored my images. The cute doggy, the letters and the little bird with the heart. I also used a bigger bird from the set Spring Robins.

I used RV66, RV63, RV21 and RV000 for the main images and RV29, RV25 and RV21 for the little hearts. To make the images pop, I added some white accents with a white gelly roll pen. Finally I white heat embossed the sentiment, which is from the set Sending Love.

Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I’m so happy to be participating in the Valentine’s Theme Week!  I have some simple valentine packaging ideas to share with you today. I like using paper or glassine bags for packaging because they work for baked goods, candy, or whatever little trinkets we may want to share. All odd sizes and colors are welcome since they are hidden inside. I made some at Christmas time and decided Valentine’s was the perfect occasion to whip up a couple more.

Be sure to stop by the Valentine section as all items there are 15% off this week!

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

On my first bag, I started by die cutting the top edge of the bag with the scalloped die in the Stacked Edges 3 dies.  I folded the top edge over the bag, cut a second scallop in black and adhered it to the bag’s scalloped edge.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

Next I die cut the large scalloped heart from the Valentine Hearts Coordinating Dies in white and pink.  I ran the pink heart back through with a smaller heart from the same die set, so I was left with just a pink scallop frame.  I layered that on top of the white scalloped heart and stamped “Happy Valentine’s Day” from the new Valentine Wreath Set in the center. I tucked a couple leaf sprigs from the Fall Foliage Dies (my favorite!) under the heart. The heart acts like a sticker and helps secure the bag closed, which is an added bonus.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

On my second bag I cut two 2.25″x8.5″ strips of paper in pink and white.  I die cut the pink strip with the Slimline: Floral Cover Die and placed it on top of the solid white strip.  It is extra long, so it can fold over the top of the bag. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

Next I layered a gold negative cut heart from the Heart Vines Die on top of the smaller heart in the All My Love Dies.  I think they layer so perfectly!  I added a sentiment from the Valentine Wreath Stamp Set, and finished it off by tucking a couple berry sprigs from the Fall Foliage Dies behind the layered heart.  

Pretty Pink Posh: Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

This packaging is quick to put together and so fun to make. You could use the same idea to dress up an envelope that you’d be delivering in person. I hope you’ll give it a try!  

Stop by tomorrow for another day of Valentine inspiration!

Valentine Wreath + Video

Hello friends! It’s Mindy Eggen here with you today to share inspiration using the Scattered Hearts Stencil and Valentine Wreath stamp set. We are going full-on Valentine’s day for this one! 

I have a video tutorial on the Pretty Pink Posh Youtube channel that you can check out down below or HERE on the channel.

I started by ink blending my background using Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink on 80 lb white cardstock. I always go back over my colors numerous times to help smooth out the transition.

Then I added the Scattered Hearts stencil and ink blended on Wilted Violet towards the top and Picked Raspberry towards the bottom. This creates a nice contrast from the background.

Since the distress oxide inks are water reactive, I flicked water onto the background using a paint brush. This adds some subtle interest to the background. I also wanted to add some gold to my card so I added a couple drops of water to my starry watercolors and flicked that onto my background as well.

I stamped the wreath from Valentine Wreath stamp in copic friendly ink and colored with copic markers. Since the images are pretty small, I didn’t do any shading to my images. Then used the coordinating die to cut out the wreath.

One of my favorite tricks to white embossing on black cardstock is by using white pigment ink. I feel like I get better results. The sentiment I used today also comes from the Valentine Wreath stamp set.

I finished off my Valentine card by popping up both the wreath and sentiment using foam squares.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you enjoyed today’s card.

Pretty Pink Posh- Day 2: Valentine Blog Hop

For my card, I started by cutting the large rectangle panel from the Slimline: Peekaboo Window Dies in white cardstock. I then made a cloud stencil by cutting a cloud piece from the Nature Essentials Die. With the cloud, I ink blended the panel with Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered gold and white acrylic paints onto the panel.

Day 1: Valentine Blog Hop

Pretty Pink Posh- Day 1: Valentine Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. I love to make shaker cards and today I’m sharing a shaker card that I made using the Love Hearts die. This die measures 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” and is perfect for the front of an A2 size card. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Day 1: Valentine Blog Hop

If you would like to watch how I made this card, then watch my video here.

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

I started by die cutting the Love Hearts die using Bristol Smooth cardstock and applied various distress oxide inks to the die cut panel. The ink colors I used are Cracked Pistachio, Picked Raspberry, and Shaded Lilac. After the die cut panel was colored, I set it aside. This will be the top panel for my card.

Pretty Pink Posh- Day 1: Valentine Blog Hop

Next, I started to work on the shaker. To create the shaker, I die cut four pieces of white 110 lb. cardstock. I used these four pieces of cardstock to build up the walls for my shaker card by gluing each of the white die cut pieces together. Next, I glued the stack of white die cuts to an A2 size white card base which measures 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”.

I cut a piece of acetate to measure 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” and added it to the back of the colored die cut panel and set it aside.

Pretty Pink Posh- Day 1: Valentine Blog Hop

Next, I added the Sweet Love Clay Confetti shaker pieces to the center of the white hearts on the stack of four die cut panels. Finally, I added glue to the back of the acetate of the colored panel and attached it to the top of the stacked white panels. 

To finish off my card, I die cut the Hugs Script Die with black cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card. Next, I added the Pink Blush Pearls to the center of all of the flowers on the front of the card panel.
