Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a few new sneak peeks for the new release coming to Pretty Pink Posh on January 6th.

My first card uses the new Scattered Hearts stencil. I ink blended my card panel with Distress Oxide ink in Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar. I then laid the Scattered Hearts stencil on top of the panel and used Festive Berry, Picked Raspberry and Kitsch Flamingo ink to add my hearts. 

Next, I used the new Sending Love set to stamp my cute images and sentiment (sending lots of). I colored the critters with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Lastly, I used the new Hugs Script die to complete my sentiment.

My next card uses the new Love Hearts background die. There are so many possibilities with this die. I decided to make a Valentine’s Day card but I can’t wait to use it for a wedding card.

I started my card by running the Love Hearts die through my die cutting machine two times. I stacked the dies together and then attached them to a card panel that had been ink blended with Peacock Feathers ink. I then added Kitsch Flamingo ink to the two heart pieces and inlaid them back into the frame.

Next, I used the Floral Hearts set to stamp my wreath. I love the way the wreath fits perfectly around the heart and creates such a sweet frame. I then used the new Sending Love set to stamp my bird. I colored the images with Comic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Lastly, I used the new Valentine Wreath set to stamp my sentiment. 

Thanks for joining me for today’s sneak peeks. I hope I inspired you to create some Valentine cards of your own. 

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of a new stamp set with the cutest critters. This stamp set is called Sending Love and I think this would not only be a great set to have for Valentine’s Day, but can also be used year-round for birthday cards and other occasions. 

I decided to make a slimline card to have room for all the adorable critters. To start, I cut the largest panel from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Die in white cardstock. From the bottom up, I ink blended the panel with Distress Oxide Inks in Vintage Photo, Festive Berries, and Worn Lipstick. I then used Festive Berries and inked through the Scattered Hearts Stencil. I also splattered the panel with black and white acrylic paints. 

Next, I stamped, cut, and colored the images from the Sending Love stamp set and coordinating dies. I used the following Copic markers:
Raccoon – C7/5/3/1/00
Monkey – E77/74/71
Fox – E99/97/95
Mailbox – R32/30
Dog – E53/50
Box – BG09/05/13
Bird – RV23/10/00

I foam mounted the images onto the card panel. I love that the “happy mail” script has a coordinating die cut. I cut 3 additional pieces and stacked them up for dimension. I then white heat embossed “sending lots of love” on a strip of black cardstock and adhered onto the panel. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a 3.5″ x 8.5″ teal cardstock before adhering onto a card base.

That’s all for this slimline card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to create a card with the Sending Love stamp set. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hi friends, it’s Elaine from Pink Peppermint Cards. I am absolutely delighted to be back to share a sneak peek of some of the products in the new Valentine’s Day release!  

To start my project I stamped all the images from the new Love Balloons stamp set along with previously released Love Borders (we’re releasing coordinating dies for this set in this release!) with a black dye ink on to copic friendly card stock.  I used copic markers to color all my images, the colors I used were:

Balloons: R29, R27, R24

Pink: R85, R83, R81

Hearts: R59, R39, R29 

Rabbit: W3, W1, W0, RV11

Beaver: E27, E25, E23, E21, RV11

Racoon: W8, W6, W4, W2, RV11

Chipmunk: E37, E34, E33, E31, RV11

Once the coloring was done I cut out all the images with the Love Borders coordinating die and Love Balloons coordinating die. I set all the die cut pieces aside while I worked on the background. 

For the background I cut a piece of heavyweight smooth white card stock to 5.5” x 4.25”.  Laying down my panel horizontally I used blending brush to lightly blend on some Picked Raspberry Distress Ink on to the panel.  I started in the middle of the card stock and used circular motions to apply the ink, using a lighter hand the further out I pulled the ink.  I laid the new Scattered Hearts stencil over the top of my card panel and applied more ink through the heart openings, being careful not to use a heavy hand.  I avoided stencilling any hearts towards the bottom of the panel as knew I wanted to lay the love borders towards the bottom.

Setting the stencilled panel aside to dry, I applied foam adhesive to the back of all the die cut images. I love the dimension the foam tape gives.  Bringing back the card panel, I first laid the row of hearts along the bottom and laid a wider image from the Love Borders above it.

I spent quite a while arranging the critter images and balloons on to the card front.  Once I was happy with the placement, I took a photo of them on my phone for reference then then carefully secured the critters to the card, then the balloons.  The ends of the balloon strings were adhered to the paws of the critters with a tiny dab of liquid adhesive.  

To create the sentiment, I treated a piece of black card stock with my antistatic powder tool and used the ‘Lots of Love’ sentiment stamp from the new Love Balloons stamp set and stamped it with a sticky clear embossing ink and coated with a fine white embossing powder.  I used my heat gun to melt the embossing powder until it was smooth and glossy, then trimmed into a thin strip.  I added a thin strip of foam tape on the back and adhered to the centre of the card.  The whole panel was then secured to a white A2 sized card base.

As a final embellishment to the card I added some shimmer to some of the colored elements with a clear sparkle pen and added some new Pink Blush pearls in various sizes all over the background of the card.

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. Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here and I am delighted to be giving you a sneak peek of the brand new Valentine Wreath set releasing on January 6th. I’m a fan of all of the wreath sets and am thrilled to be adding this one to my collection.  

I started by stamping and die cutting the Valentine Wreath.  It doesn’t take much to dress up these images. Because they are tiny in size, coloring is quick, which is a win in my book. I ended up just using two markers on this one – a light pink and a bright red.  

While I was coloring, the little bow and arrow reminded me of the adorable cupid in the previously released Valentine Circles stamp set.  This chubby little cupid fit too perfectly in the center of the wreath, so I had to use him.  I colored him with alcohol markers as well.  

Next I stamped and die cut one of the beautiful script sentiments included in the set. Now that I had all my pieces ready to go, I decided to spruce up the background. I blended on pink ink, concentrating most of the color in the center. Then I splattered the background with pink and red dots. I created a diagonal line of sorts with the splatters to lead your eye to the sentiment, popped up all my images with foam tape, and called it a day.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Make sure to keep popping in this week to see more sneak peeks and don’t forget to mark your calendars for January 6 when all these cute valentine goodies will be released. Wishing you a lovely day!
