Happy Birthday Presents

Hello, Gemma here today sharing a card using some new products from the February Birthday release – Build A Gift die set and the Layered Presents stencil set. Using a neutral colour in the background really makes the bright presents pop on this card.

**The new release has been selling like hotcakes! For the first time ever, we are offering pre-orders on some of the sold out items. You can find all of those products HERE. **

Pretty Pink Posh: Happy Birthday Presents

I began with the background. Over a white card panel, in turn I lightly inked over the stencils from the Layered Presents set. For the final layer, I also used some glitter embossing paste for a touch of sparkle, then set it aside to dry.

Next, I die cut the Build A Gift die set from white card. I used distress oxide inks to add colour to the presents, then assembled them with liquid glue.

Once my background panel was dry, I cut it with a trimmer to get two borders. I adhered these to my card base, then added a strip of card across the centre, die cut with a scallop border die to add interest. This strip covers the gap on my background and gives me a place for my presents and sentiment to sit.

I stamped a sentiment from the Simple Sentiments stamp set, then adhered the Build a Gift presents to finish.

See you tomorrow for another day of inspiration + a video tutorial.

Hello, Gemma here today with a card featuring the new Birthday Wreath and Birthday Circles stamp sets. I thought it would be fun to add a circle image inside the wreath. They go together so well!

I stamped the wreath and circle, then coloured the images with copic markers. I die cut the wreath with the coordinating die, along with an extra die cut layer to add dimension. I cut out the circle image with extra space around the edges, so it could be adhered behind the wreath image.

Copic marker colours

Koala: W0-3, R20 R30 Present: BG11-15, RV52 Birthday Wreath: R22-24, YR14-16, Y13-15, YG01-05, BG11-15, B00-02, BV02, V000 V01 V12, RV52-55, E51-53

Next, I worked on the background. I die cut the Pretty Petals Background from white card. I popped out the pieces and adhered it over some patterned paper. I then added this to an A2 card base. This CAS background complements the wreath and circle images beautifully.

I adhered the circle wreath images on the card, then finished by adding a gold heat embossed sentiment, using a stamp from the Simple Sentiments stamp set. I layered it over some satin gold mirror card.

Day 2: Birthday Blog Hop

If you missed Day 1 CLICK HERE

Hello! It’s Lindsey here, and I had a blast making today’s card. Have you seen the new Build A Gift dies? They are fantastic! These dies are perfect for birthdays but also lots of other celebrations. I’m thinking weddings, graduations, and Christmas to name a few. Lots of possibilities here!

I stuck with a simple color scheme of white, light aqua, and pink sorbet. I ran all the dies through the die machine and cut a set of pink and white, and then mixed and matched until I had a pile of gifts. It was loads of fun!

I wanted each gift to be unique, so I used the tails on some bows but not on others. I also used the negative and positive polka dot cuts. Even a simple change like vertical vs. horizontal orientation added to the variety.

When all my gifts were completed, I popped them up with dimensional foam tape on my aqua card base and embossed a sentiment from Birthday Scripts in white to finish off the card.

The Build A Gift dies are so much fun! This is definitely a set you will want to add to your collection. I know I will be using mine lots!

We are having a special free gift offer to celebrate our birthday month, while supplies last. During the celebration, save 10% off your order using the coupon code provided below.

Day 1: Birthday Blog Hop

Hello friends, welcome to day 1 of the birthday celebration blog hop. Leica here today and I have a box card to share with you all. For my card, I used the Crafty Critters stamp set and coordinating dies, which are free gifts with qualifying purchases this month in honor of Pretty Pink Posh turning 8 (details later in this post). Hooray for more adorable critters and craft-related stamps!

To begin, I assembled the MFT Outside the Box Level Up die in white cardstock. For the panels, I covered them with patterned paper. I added 2 inserts in the box and filled it with the cutest images – all from the Crafty Critters stamp set. I used Copic markers in B04/02/00, C5/3/1/0, G 19/16/14, RV25/23/21, Y18/13/11, YR04/02/00.

For the sentiment, I white heat embossed “happy” on a strip of black cardstock and stamped “crafting” with pink ink, then cut with the coordinating die. Lastly, I adhered all the stamped elements onto the card front and inserts.

Sneak Peek: February 2022 Dies

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today with a sneak peek of a few of the new dies coming to Pretty Pink Posh on February 10th.

I started my card by making my shaker with the new Party Cake die set. I used the frame die, included in the set, to cut my opening in my card panel. I then attached a piece of acetate behind the opening, added some foam adhesive around the edges and filled my shaker with the new Rainbow Sprinkles clay confetti mix. You will love this mix, it’s a party in a bag! Next, I ink blended my frame and cake pieces before attaching them to the acetate. Each piece of the cake and frame come apart so you can mix and match your colors and layers, so fun.

For my sentiment I used the new Celebrate Script die. I ran it through my die cutting machine three times and stacked the dies together to give the sentiment some dimension. Lastly, I used the new Build A Cupcake stamp set to stamp my complementing sentiment.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you have enjoyed taking a sneak peek at some of the new products being released this month. Come back tomorrow for the full picture reveal!

Enjoy your day,

Dana

Sneak Peek: February 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 February 10th.

The stencils for this release center around the fun birthday theme. There are three packs of layered stencils which include cupcakes, presents and candles.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: February 2022 Stencils

My first card uses the Layered Cupcake stencils. I started by making my card panel with the three stencils and dye ink in pink, aqua and purple. The color combinations are endless with these stencils.

The stencils easily layer on top of each other to create the most adorable card panel. Once my panel was finished I added a few splatters with white paint and then set it aside to dry. Lastly, I used the new Birthday Scripts set to stamp and die cut my sentiment. This sentiment set is perfect for all of your birthday cards and so much more.

For my next card I used the new Layered Presents stencil set. Keeping my color palette the same as before I used the three stencils to make a card panel.

Once my panel was finished I trimmed it down to a 2.25 inch strip. I then used the Scallop Border die to create my purple border for each side of the strip. Next, I used the new Build A Gift die set to create my die cut present. This die set is so fun, it includes two different size presents with different patterns, bows and ribbons that can all be mixed and matched. Lastly, I used the Build A Cupcake stamp set to stamp my sentiment.

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

Enjoy your day, Dana

Sneak Peek: Birthday Circles + Birthday Scripts

Hi, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a sneak peek of the new Birthday Circles stamp set and Birthday Scripts stamp set releasing on February 10th.

The Birthday Circles set is such a fun addition to the previously-released Circle sets. These stamps are perfect for making cards and matching tags, plus the images go well together with other stamp sets, such as the Party Friends stamp set and Koala Friends stamp set. The Birthday Scripts is just the perfect set to have in hand for beautiful birthday sentiments and the best part is there are coordinating die cuts for the scripts.

Pretty Pink Posh: Sneak Peek: Birthday Circles + Birthday Scripts

For my card, I made a slimline size. First, I cut a slimline panel using the largest die from the Slimline: Peekaboo Window Dies in white cardstock. I ink blended it with Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered white and black acrylic paints for added interest. I layered this panel with a pink cardstock, measuring 3.5 x 8.5 inches.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Birthday Circles stamp set. I foam mounted them on the card panel for dimension. For the sentiment, I used the Birthday Scripts stamp set and cut the scripts with the coordinating dies. I cut a few extra pieces and stacked them for dimension. I then added Bubblegum pearls for added texture. Lastly, I adhered the card panel onto a slimline-size card base.

That’s all for today’s sneak peek. Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the February 10th release!

Sneak Peek: Build A Cupcake

Hello crafty friends! It’s Yoonsun here to share a cute birthday cupcake card with brand new Build A Cupcake stamp & coordinating die set releasing on February 10th.

I started by making cupcake pattern panel. I randomly stamped cupcakes onto an A2 sized white paper panel with pale beige coloured dye ink – I stamped mask for the cake image to sticky note, cut out the mask and layered it over each stamped cake image because this set is build-a-cupcake. I then die cut 6 scallop borders from the pattern paper, assembled them together on the card base using double-sided tape.

For the cupcakes, I stamped them on watercolour paper using pale beige dye ink first, coloured cake images with polychromos pencils, cup images with Rusty Hinge Distress ink, and then die cut them with the matching dies. I added 4 cupcakes on the centre of the card front using foam tape, decorated them with Rainbow Sprinkles & Pinata Party Clay Confetti. These new clay confetti packs are so adorable!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Be sure to come back tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!

Hugs,
Yoonsun
