3D Pinwheel Cards w/ Laura Bassen!

Hi there! Laura here and today I have a couple of projects to share featuring the fun, new 3D Pinwheel Die. There are so many fun ways to use these pinwheels from topping straws, pencils, gifts & cupcake toppers and of course to put on cards.

Pretty Pink Posh: 3D Pinwheel Cards w/ Laura Bassen!

For this first card I die cut the pinwheel with white cardstock and added color by blending ink and using the Mini Polka Dots Stencil. I adhered the pinwheel onto a rotating glider that allows the pinwheel to spin for a fun, interactive element. I used the Smile Script Die for the sentiment with silver glitter cardstock.

This next card uses both the large and the smaller 3D Pinwheel dies with double-sided pattern paper.

3D Pinwheel Gifts

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today and I have a fun project using the new 3D Pinwheel Dies. These are so simple to make, thanks to this die cut, and I’ve made a few to include in Easter gift bags for my daughter and friends.

Supplies needed:

3D Pinwheel Dies

I first cut the Pinwheel Dies in Spring-themed patterned papers. Next, I curved the corners towards the center and lined up the holes using a brad, which holds them together. Lastly, I adhered each pinwheel to a pencil, using hot glue.

Hello friends, Gemma here. Today I’m sharing a sweet Easter card, using the new Layered Eggs stencil set and Easter Circles stamp set.

I began with a panel of white card, cut to 6″ square. I taped the first layer of the Layered Eggs stencil set over the panel, then inked it with distress oxides. Although I didn’t use them on this card, I was inspired by the pretty pearl colours in the March release.

Pretty Pink Posh: Blog Hop + Spring Release Now Available

Distress oxide inks: Dried Marigold, Kitsch Flamingo, Shabby Shutters, Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac

I kept the inking on the first layer light, so I could use the same inks to add a heavier layer of colour with the second stencil in the set. This one adds the patterns to the eggs.

I cleaned the stencil, then repositioned it over my panel so I could add a layer of Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste. This is a clear glitter so will pick up the colour of the patterns underneath. Make sure to clean the stencil well after using any kind of paste. I then left the panel to dry overnight.

Pretty Pink Posh: Blog Hop + Spring Release Now Available

Copic Colors Used

Chick: Y00 Y11 Y13 Y15, YR14, R20 Egg: N0-1 Egg pattern: YR000 Y02 Y14, B60 B91 B93, Y00 Y13 Y15, BG000 BG11 BG13, RV00 R81 R83

Next, I stamped and coloured an image from the Easter Circles stamp set. The coordinating die for this set includes a pretty layer that also cuts a stitched circle slightly larger than the die for the images. I used this to cut a circle of satin gold mirror card to layer behind the image, and mounted the image on top with foam tape.

Pretty Pink Posh: Blog Hop + Spring Release Now Available

I’m enjoying making mini slimline cards at the moment, so I cut my stenciled panel down to 3.5″ wide x 5″ tall. The slightly shorter length allows space for a sentiment to be stamped on the card base. The sentiment is selectively stamped from two older stamp sets – Easter Bunnies and Simple Sentiments.

I adhered the panel to my card base, then added a Stitched Strip of the gold card along the joining edge. I then adhered the Easter Circles image to finish.

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a butterfly-themed card, using the new Butterly Shaker Die and Layered Butterflies Stencils. These products go so well together and are perfect for any occasion.

Pretty Pink Posh: Blog Hop + Spring Release Now Available

Let’s begin! I first cut a 5” square panel in purple cardstock. I ink blended through the Layered Butterflies Stencils with Distress Oxide Inks – Worn Lipstick + Picked Raspberry, Salvaged Patina + Peacock Feathers, Shaded Lilac + Seedless Preserves, and Mustard Seed. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Blog Hop + Spring Release Now Available

Next, I cut a 4.5” square panel in vellum to layer on top of the stenciled panel and stamped the sentiment with Stazon Jet Black Ink. I then cut the Butterfly Shaker Stencil twice – one in white glitter cardstock and one in purple glitter cardstock. I inlaid the wings of the butterfly and foam mounted it on top of the vellum panel. I then adhered the vellum on top of the larger panel and added the new pearls (Creamsicle, Light Orchid, Limeade, Pansy Purple, and Sea Foam) to add pops of color to the butterfly. Lastly, I adhered the card panel onto a 5” square card base.

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a fun Easter card and gift tag. For my projects, I am using the Easter Circles stamp set. I just love the images in this set. They are so adorable and perfect for all of your spring and Easter crafting.

Pretty Pink Posh: Blog Hop + Spring Release Now Available

I started my projects by stamping my images with the Easter Circles stamp set and the Easter Signs set (pinwheel). I colored the images with Copic markers (RV13/11/10 C17/15/13, YG13/03, BG 23/11, YR14/12 W22/1/0) and used the Easter Circles dies and Easter Sign dies to cut them out. Next, I added dye ink to the Easter Circles dies in coordinating colors. I love how these dies include the stitching detail, so sweet!

Pretty Pink Posh: Blog Hop + Spring Release Now Available

For my card panel, I used the Wide Stripe stencil. I placed the stencil on my panel vertically and added aqua ink. I then turned the stencil horizontal and added yellow ink to create a plaid design. 

To finish my card I used the Hoppy Easter Script die to die cut my sentiment. I then used the Birthday Scripts stamp set to stamp the word Happy onto a white banner. Lastly, I attached all of my images to the card panel with liquid glue and foam adhesive.

Pretty Pink Posh: Blog Hop + Spring Release Now Available

For my tag, I used the bunny from the Easter Circles stamp set. I mounted the circle onto a tag that was created with the Birthday Circles tag die. I love how all of the circle sets and dies can be mixed and matched. It gives you so many possibilities. I can’t wait to tie this tag onto some Easter treats!

Sneak Peek: March 2022 Stencils

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a sneak peek of some of the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on March 14th. The stencils for this release center around Easter and spring. There are four different stencils being released, which include Layered Eggs, Layered Butterflies. Happy Days and a Floral Background. 

Pretty Pink Posh- March 2022 Stencils

My first card uses the Layered Butterflies stencil. I started my card by ink blending Distress Oxide ink in Spun Sugar onto my card panel to give it a soft pink look. I then used the first butterfly layer and Distress Oxide ink Worn Lipstick to create my butterflies. For the second layer, (butterfly detail) I used Carved Pumpkin ink. For the third and final layer, I added Glitz Glitter Gel in Gold for the butterflies bodies. To finish my panel I added a few splatters with gold paint for a little added detail.

Pretty Pink Posh- March 2022 Stencils

Once my panel was dry, I used the new Butterfly Shaker die to create my shaker window. I added acetate behind the window and inlaid a butterfly in the opening that had been die cut with gold glittered paper. I filled my shaker with the new Creamsicle Pearls and closed up the opening with foam adhesive.

Lastly, I used the Simple Sentiments set to stamp my sentiment. 

Pretty Pink Posh- March 2022 Stencils

My next card uses the new Layered Eggs stencil. I just had to create the eggs in a rainbow of colors! There are two stencils included in this set and they are so easy to use and line up. I did some simple masking and used tone on tone dye ink. On my final layer I did add a layer of Ranger Texture Paste in Transparent Gloss to give the eggs some extra shine and texture.

Pretty Pink Posh- March 2022 Stencils

To finish my card I used the Hoppy Easter Script die. I die cut the sentiment three times with white cardstock and once with a light pink glittered cardstock I had in my stash.  I then stacked the dies for some added dimension before attaching them to my card panel. 

Pretty Pink Posh- March 2022 Stencils

Thanks for joining me today. I hope I inspired you to give these new stencils a try… I know you won’t be disappointed. They are so fun and easy to use!

Join us tomorrow as we reveal all of the new products in picture form so you can start to compile your wish lists for the March 14th release date!

Sneak Peek: March 2022 Dies

Hello Friends! It’s Raquel here today sharing some sneak peeks of the new dies coming to Pretty Pink Posh on March 14th.

There are some very innovative dies for this upcoming release! The moment I saw them I knew I’d be creating some fun and happy themed designs.

Pretty Pink Posh: March 2022 Dies

These project features the new 3D Pinwheels dies. They come in two sizes, and I just love them! You can be as creative as you want and use pattern paper or create your our paper.

I decided to do the later, so I grabbed my Distress Oxide Inks and some stencils.

I used the new Floral Background Stencil and the Mini Polka Dot Stencil in some of the pinwheels and colored them using several pastel colors: Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo, Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio and Salvaged Patina.

Pretty Pink Posh: March 2022 Dies

Once the ink blending was done, I just used these gorgeous dies to cut out three small pinwheels and three bigger ones. Then I folded them towards the center and secured them with a mini brad.

Lastly I just glued some colorful straws to the back with permanent glue. So easy!!! These are just perfect for any celebration, and I can assure they look stunning in real life.

Pretty Pink Posh: March 2022 Dies

My next project features the Flat Pinwheels. These can also be used in any celebration project or incorporate them into cards. I wanted to use as many pinwheels as possible in the same project so I used the smallest one.

I cut out several pieces in different colors and foam mounted them using the Slimline Scallop Frames. To add some texture to this colorful project, I added some white strips I had previously cut out with the Simply Strips dies.

I glued them to the front layer and arranged my pinwheels trying to make them look like if they were moving. I also added some spatters and some of the new Pearls.

Pretty Pink Posh: March 2022 Dies

I gold heat embossed the sentiment from the new Hugs stamp set and placed it in the middle. I love how this card turned out. These colorful pinwheels pop out so beautifully against the white background.

I hope you have enjoyed I gave you some ideas to create some fun and unique projects with this one of a kind dies.

Have a great day, Raquel

Sneak Peek: Hugs

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the new Hugs stamp set. I just love this set and if you have any of the previously-released word stamp sets (Baby, Dad, Joy, Love, Mom), this would be a wonderful addition to have. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Hugs

Here are the Copic marker colors I used for this project.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Hugs

For my card panel, I cut a 5.5” square in light pink cardstock. The background is done by ink blending through the Happy Days Stencils in Antique Linen, Kitsch Flamingo, Milled Lavender, Squeezed Lemonade, and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Hugs

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the Hugs stamp with the coordinating dies. The sentiment is stamped onto a strip of Kraft card stock. I then foam mounted the stamped elements onto the card panel. I adhered a few Sea Foam Pearls here and there to add interest to the card. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a 5.5” square card base.

Sneak Peek: Easter Wreath

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the new Easter Wreath stamp set which will be available on March 14th. This is another beautiful set to add to the other previously-released Wreath collection

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Easter Wreath

To start, I stamped the wreath on white cardstock in Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. I colored the images with Copic markers and cut with the Easter Wreath coordinating die

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Easter Wreath

Next, I cut a 4.5” square panel in white cardstock. I used the new Floral Background Stencil to create a Spring background. The colors I used are Dried Marigold, Kitsch Flamingo, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Inks. To make the shaker element, I cut a 5.5” acetate and wrapped it  around the panel, adhering the tabs with double sided tape. I added some Bunny Garden Clay Confetti before adhering the last flap down. I then layered this panel on top of a 5” pink cardstock. 

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Easter Wreath

For the sentiment, I stamped the Easter Greetings onto a strip of Kraft cardstock. I adhered the wreath and sentiment onto the acetate with double-sided tape. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a 5” square card base.
