Whimsical Layered Ornament Backgrounds

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today to share a couple projects using the new Layered Ornaments Stencils. I LOVE this set! It’s very easy to align and the ornaments are so cute!

Stencils are a great way to fill space quickly, so I decided to make a slimline card. I blended the first two rows in aqua, the second two in pink, and then I moved my stencil down a bit to create a third set of rows in green. I added the ornament details in darker shades of each color using the second stencil in the set, and finally I added the ornament tops in grey with the third stencil layer.

I wanted a sentiment that would still allow the ornaments to be visible, so I decided to use vellum. Cutting the vellum with the smallest frame in the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies created stitched lines at the top and bottom of the sentiment strip. Then I simply cut the Merry Christmas Script Die in black, placed it on my vellum strip, and adhered it at an angle on my card.

I could have stopped there, but recently when I was cleaning out some crafty supplies I found a bottle of glitter glue, and now seemed like a good time to use it. I added glitter lines to the top and bottom of my sentiment strip as well as various stripes on the ornaments. A little sparkle made the ornaments even cuter! The final touch was a few marshmallow pearls in the snowflake centers.

With the same supplies out, I got to work on my second project. I knew I didn’t need as many ornaments, so I just randomly stenciled some of the Layered Ornaments in the turquoise, green, and pink/red combos. Then I trimmed them out with scissors and arranged them on my card, popping them up with a bit of foam tape for dimension.

I filled in some of the open white space with the two smallest sizes of marshmallow pearls…because, why not? :) I used the Holiday Scripts stamps + coordinating dies (love them!) for my sentiment. I even snuck the vellum on this card, too, by backing the sentiment with an added layer of vellum.

There are SO MANY possibilities with the new Layered Ornaments Stencils. I’ll definitely be using them again and again. Thanks so much for visiting today! We can’t wait to see what you create with these new stencils.

Pink Winter Wonderland

Hi everyone! Jane here and I’m so happy to be sharing this holiday card using the new Village and Village Additions stamp sest by Pretty Pink Posh.

To start, the background was ink blended using the following distress oxide inks: seedless preserves, victorian velvet and spun sugar. Be sure to leave a blank space at the bottom of the card to give the illusion of fallen snow.

The background was splatted using white acrylic paint and water to create a snowy background.

Next, I stamped the images from Village and Village Additions stamp sets using copic-friendly black ink and colored them using copic markers. The building images were fussy cut using scissors and the rest of the images were die cut using the coordinating dies. White gel pen used to add accents to the images.

I glued the building images to the ink blended background and used foam squares to pop up the tiny Village Additions images to the card front. Then, I used white Nuvo drops and glitter to mimic fallen snow to the rooftops. The sentiment from the Holiday Scripts stamp and coordinating die set as used for the “Merry” and I stamped the “Christmas” using Versafine black ink with the help of my Misti. After everything was dry, the entire card front was adhered to a light grey A2 card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check out the October release online at Pretty Pink Posh!

Day 3: Blog Hop + Holiday Release Now Available

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE // If you missed Day 2 CLICK HERE

Hey friends! Elaine here today from @pinkpeppermint cards. A new Pretty Pink Posh release is here and I have a super fun and festive project to share with you. Go ahead and grab a coffee and join us for a fun blog hop showcasing lots of fun inspiration using the new release plus a chance to win a prize!

To start my project I took 4 pieces of heavyweight white card cut to 6”x6”. Taking the Layered Holly Stencil I took stencil B and ink blended on the holly leaves in a green, teal shade all over each of the card panels. I then used stencil C to blend a slightly heavier layer of the same ink through the apertures to create the spines of the holly leaves. Lastly, took stencil A to apply a red ink through the holes to add berries to the panel. Before removing the stencil, I applied Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Sceptre Red to give some sparkle and added dimension. To add a little more interest to my card panels and add extra sparkle I splattered on some gold metallic paint over the top of the stencil pattern. I set all 4 panels aside to dry and thoroughly cleaned my stencils and paint brush.

While the panels were drying, I prepared my tags and sentiments. Firstly I die cut some tags from white card stock using the Stitched Essentials 1 die set. I used a border die from the Stitched Borders 1 die set and cut away the bottom half of each tag. For the tags, I added sentiments using the beautiful new Holiday Scripts stamp set in a black pigment ink. I also prepared the sentiments for my cards while my card panels were drying. I stamped the words ‘Merry’ and ‘Holidays’ on to white cardstock with a black pigment ink and used the Holiday Scripts coordinating dies to cut out the words. I also white heat embossed the words ‘Christmas’ and ‘Happy’ on to black cardstock and trimmed into thin strips.

Using a guillotine, I trimmed 2 of my holly stencilled panels down to 4.5” x 4.5”. I wrapped a strip of vellum around each card panel and adhered each end to the back with double sided adhesive. I put foam tape on the back of each panel and adhered each one to a white 5”x 5” side folding card base. I applied my pre prepared sentiments on to the vellum strip with liquid adhesive.

Taking the Stitched Essentials 1 die set again, I cut tags from the remaining holly blended panels. I adhered the stamped tag pieces over the top of the stencilled tags with liquid adhesive. I used a hole punch to add some holes to the tags and popped some red thread through the openings.

As a final embellishment on both the cards and tags I added some new Metallic Gold Pearls in various sizes using some liquid adhesive.

Did you hear the news? We’re giving away this not-yet-released 4 layer stencil called Layered Plaid with qualifying orders over $125. This is while supplies last and will automatically be included with orders.

Day 2: Blog Hop + Holiday Release Now Available

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE

Hello, Gemma here and I have a jolly Christmas card to share, using the new October release using a bright and bold colour scheme of red and blue.

I stamped images from Snowman Friends and Village Additions and coloured them with my copic markers. I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

Next, I worked on the background. I adhered a panel of patterned paper to a 5.25 inch square card base, then added a piece of white card for the snowy ground.

Copic marker colours

Snowmen: B00, B000; YR14; E74, Clothes: B63, B66, B69; R22, R24, R27
Trees: E74; G14, G07, G28

I arranged the images in the scene, adhering them directly on the card, apart from the smaller snowman who is popped up with foam tape.

For the main sentiment, I used the fabulous Holiday Scripts stamp set, which is a must-have. I love having the coordinating dies for the large words, which offer lots of possibilities. My favourite way to use this set is to heat emboss the words in white on coloured card stock, then die cut with the coordinating dies. I added a couple of die cut layers behind the Merry word for dimension.

I embossed the second sentiment on a strip of red cardstock, then adhered both at the base of the card. For a fun extra sentiment, I decided to give the snowmen a speech bubble sentiment. I used the previously released Stitched Speech Bubbles die set, cutting one from white card and another from red.

I stamped the sentiment from Snowman Friends in blue ink, to match the colour scheme, then offset layered the speech bubbles together on the card to finish.

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today. I have a simple Christmas card to share with you all to kick off day 1 of the blog hop.

For this square-shaped card, I used images from the new Pretty Pink Posh Christmas Candles stamp set and Poinsettia Corners stamp set. Let’s begin! I first cut a 4.25″ square in silver glitter cardstock. I also cut a 4″ square and adhered it onto the larger panel.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Christmas Candles stamp set and Poinsettia Corners stamp set. I used the following Copic markers: E42/41/40, R39/37/35, T5/3/1, Y18/11.

I glued down the 3 large candles directly on the card. I also stamped “Christmas” and “sending love & light” on the card panel. Next, I foam mounted the smaller candles, poinsettia, and the “merry” greeting. For added texture and interest, I added Metallic Silver Pearls here and there.

Sneak Peek: October 2021 Dies & Stencils

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today with two cards that use a few of the amazing new stencils (and die) coming to Pretty Pink Posh on October 13th.

My first card uses the new Layered Ornaments Stencil. This is a three pack of stencils that make an adorable card panel. I ink blended each ornament with dye and a small finger dauber. I then used the second stencil and added the ornament detail with a shade darker ink. Lastly, I used the third stencil to add the silver ornament topper.

For my sentiment I used the new Holiday Scripts stamp and coordinating die set. I love this set of sentiments. They are perfect for all of your holiday and winter cards.

My next card uses the new Layered Holly Stencil. The Layered Holly stencils are three stencils that can be layered together to make the most gorgeous background.

I once again used dye ink and started with a light green to make the holly. I then used the second stencil to add the darker leaf vein. Lastly, I used the third stencil to add red berries. I then kept the third stencil in place and added White Glitz Glitter Gel to add a little extra sparkle to the berries.

Next, I used the new Winter Candle die to create my focal image. I die cut the candle from white cardstock and then inlaid the pieces back into the die with colored cardstock. I mounted the candle onto a circle that had been die cut with the Scallop Circle Die. For my sentiment I used the new Christmas Candles set.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you found some inspiration for the new stencils coming to Pretty Pink Posh on October 13th.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Sneak Peek: Winter Circles

Hello friends! It’s Leica here and today I am sharing a sneak peek of the new Winter Circles stamp set. There are 6 different images in this set and they are perfect for Christmas cards and tags. There is also a coordinating die set – a plain circle and a scallop lace circle. I decided to use all the images for my card.

For my card, I first cut a 5×7 panel in white 110 lb cardstock. I then cut a gold cardstock measuring 3.75″x7″ and a teal cardstock measuring 3.5″x7″. I glued these down in the center of the white panel. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Winter Circles Stamp Set. I colored them with Copic Sketch:

Browns – E25/23/21, E44, E50
Greens – G67/63/61
Golds – Y26/23/21
Teals – BG09/05/13
Reds – R27/24/22
Yellows – Y18/13

Backgrounds

Penguin – B00
Poinsettia- Y21
Candle – R22
Reindeer – G61
Snowman – E50
Holly – BG10

I then cut 6 of the scallop lace circles in white cardstock and glued the images on top of each one. Next, I foam mounted them onto the card panel. The sentiments are from the new Holiday Scripts stamp set. I white heat embossed the “merry” and “season’s greetings” on a strip of black cardstock and gold heat embossed the “Christmas” on white cardstock and cut with its coordinating die. I then foam mounted the sentiments onto the card base.

Lastly, I adhered the base onto a card panel – 7″x10″ scored at the 5″ mark.

That’s all for this Christmas card! I hope that you enjoyed today’s sneak peek and that I’ve inspired you to create holiday cards for your loved ones!

Sneak Peek: Christmas Candles

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at the new Christmas Candles stamp set from the October 13th release! This is a beautiful set with a fabulous choices of images. I’m sharing two different styles of card, to show how versatile this set is for your holiday projects.

The candle and lantern images in this set look amazing against a dark background. I stamped out one of the lantern images and some holly from the Christmas Candles set and coloured them with copic markers. I’ll list the colours below. I then die cut the image with the coordinating die.

Copic Colours
Lantern C1, C3, C5
Candle: E51, E53, E55
Flame: YR14, YR15, YR16
Glow: Y00, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17
Holly leaves: G14, G07, G28

Next, I cut a panel of dark blue patterned paper to cover my 4.25 card base. For the glow from the lantern, I cut a small circle of handmade gel printed background, created using dried marigold and squeezed lemonade distress oxide inks. Tennis elbow means I’m not able to ink blend as much as I would like to right now, so this is a simple (and arm friendly) alternative to creating a background and glow. If you enjoy ink blending your backgrounds, that will look fabulous too.

To create a snowy place for the lantern to sit, I die cut a piece of white glitter card using a die from the previously released Scallop Borders 2 die set. I adhered this onto my card base, then added the lantern on top with foam tape.

I love the scripty sentiments in the Pretty Pink Posh stamp sets, especially the coordinating dies for them, as it makes them so much more versatile. I embossed the Merry script word, from the Christmas Candles stamp set, with WOW Opaque Bright White embossing powder on the same patterned paper as the background. I then die cut the word out with the coordinating die. I added a couple of layers of navy die cuts offset behind the word, for dimension and a shadow effect.

I embossed a second sentiment from the set on the background, then adhered the word die above. To fill some of the space in the bottom half of the card, I embossed another sentiment from the Christmas Candles stamp set on navy card, and adhered to the card with double sided tape. I then added the holly images to the card to finish.

For my second sneak peek using the Christmas Candles stamp set, I’ve gone for an elegant CAS design. This card would be great for mass producing, as it’s quick to create and looks beautiful.

The candles image is coloured with copic markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. I added a second layer behind for dimension.

Copic Colours
Candle: R24, R27, R39
Flame: Y11, YR14
Holly leaves: G14, G07, G17

For the berries, I thought I’d use some of the beautiful new Metallic Gold pearls. These come in a mixed size pack, and I used the smallest size here. They are really beautiful embellishments.

I cut a 4 inch square panel of white card, and heat embossed sentiments from the Christmas Candles stamp set with WOW Metallic Gold Ruch Super Fine embossing powder.

I cut a piece of gold card to fit my 4.25 card base, then adhered the white panel on top, followed by the candles. As a finishing touch, I used some Nuvo White Blizzard glitter drops on the candle flames.

Thank you for joining us for today’s sneak peek. We hope to see you again tomorrow!
