Sneak Peek: Fall Circles

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at the new Fall Circles stamp set from the September 13th release! If you are a fan of the circle scene stamp sets, this is a must-have for your collection.

Pretty Pink Posh- Sneak Peek: Fall Circles

There are 6 circle scenes in the Fall Circles stamp set. I stamped out all the images and coloured them with copic markers. As you can see, I’m having fun with non-traditional pumpkin colours on my cards this autumn.

I die cut the circles out with the coordinating die, then arranged them on a 4.75″ square card base, adhering with liquid glue.

The Fall Circles coordinating die set comes with a fabulous label die. I die cut it twice – once from copper pearlescent card and once from white card. I offset layered these together to get a shadow effect, then adhered it in the centre of my card.

For the sentiment, I stamped the large Thankful word from the new Woodland Thanks stamp set, embossing it with a copper pearl embossing powder. I die cut it with the coordinating die, then added two die cut layers behind for dimension. I stamped an accompanying sentiment from the same set on the label, then adhered the word die above to finish my card.

Thanks for stopping by today. Join us tomorrow for more sneak peeks!

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a box card using images from the new Monster Hugs Stamp Set. I absolutely love this new set and I know you will, too! They are great for making Halloween or even birthday cards.

Pretty Pink Posh: Sending Monster Hugs

Let’s begin! I first assembled the box card from MFT. I then added pattern to the large panel by inking Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink through the Medium Polka Dots. I stamped the Sending Monster Hugs sentiment before adhering the panel to the box. For the smaller panels, I ink blended with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink through the same stencil. I then stamped the “eye like you a lot” sentiment on the front panel.

For the monsters, I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo black ink on 110lb white cardstock and colored with Copic markers: B02/00, BG09/05/13, R85/83/81, V15/12/01, Y18/15/11, YG25/23/21. I then used the coordinating dies to cut the stamped images. Lastly, I glued the colorful monsters to the inserts of the box card.

That’s all for this box card! I hope I’ve inspired you to craft with these super cute monsters. Thanks for stopping by today!

Sparkly Interactive Halloween Card + Video

Hi, it’s Mona here, and I can’t wait to show you how I made this pinky-sparkly Halloween card with an interactive twist! From my newest video on Pretty Pink Posh YouTube Channel you can learn how to easily transform word die-cuts to the wished shape.

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

I made the glittery background with the Stars stencil on a pale pink cardstock with the Silver Glitz Glitter Gel. In the video I am showing you what is my favorite method for this process.

While the background dries, I stamped the Halloween Wreath and the other coordinating images from the same stamp set with brown alcohol marker friendly inkpad to a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored them with Spectrum Noir Illustrators.

I have used the following colors: CT1, CT2, CT4, GY3, BO1, BO2, BO3, BO4, OR2, OR3, CR1, CR3, CR5, CR7, GB1 GB4, GB6, GB10, RB3, RB1, AP4, AP3, AP2, PP1, FS1, MG1, MG2, BG1, BG2, Blender.

After the coloring I die-cut all the images and I colored the wheel with a pale pink alcohol marker.

Next, I continued with the die-cutting. I made more die-cuts from heavy weight cardstock, because I wanted to add thickness to the wreath and the spiders, in this case the interactive part will be more durable. Then I transformed the Happy Halloween Die-cuts made with the Happy Halloween Script Die. This is a fun way to alter the scripted sentiments, in the video I am describing how.

When it was done, I created the interactive element and added the spider to the circle with fishing line, and created the card front. I covered the glittery background with a piece of vellum, and styled the circle, the sentiment and the other elements.

In the end I styled my card and added some Metallic Rose Gold Sequins to it as a decoration. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Hugs, Mona

Stretch Your Stencils + Video

Hi, it’s Mona here, if you like stencils like me and you want to get more from them, don’t miss my cool trick on Pretty Pink Posh YouTube Channel.

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

For my background I have used the Hibiscus Flowers stencil set to achieve this beautiful look with various Distress Oxide colors. I have used: Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Wilted Violet colors. For the full process visit the video tutorial.

Pretty Pink Posh: Stretch Your Stencils + Video

I stamped cute tiger from my favorite summer set, the Summer Fun stamp set, and now I will show you how I colored it as a bleached tiger with my coloring guide below. Before the coloring I gave a quick heat set to the image, this will prevent the ink smearing. And I started with a grayish green color, because it makes the fur warmer and more natural, then I followed the coloring like on the guide.

Pretty Pink Posh: Stretch Your Stencils + Video

Instead of coloring, I made an ink blending through the Hibiscus Stencil with yellow, turquoise and pink inkpads and blended them together. The result was this pretty rainbow look.

Pretty Pink Posh: Stretch Your Stencils + Video

Next, I continued with the sentiment. I stamped the summer text from the Summer Drinks with a watermark ink to a piece of violet cardstock. Then I sprinkled on it white embossing powder and heat embossed it to get a nice and crisp white sentiment, then I die-cut it. I repeated the same thing but with the Thanks a bunch sentiment from the Simple Sentiments set, this time on an orange cardstock.

Pretty Pink Posh: Stretch Your Stencils + Video

Next, I cut the sentiment, as well as the created background for a 5.25” by 4”. I wanted to add to the card something colorful, so I stamped and colored some surfboards too with my alcohol markers.

In the end I styled my card and added some squeezy lemons to my card as a decoration. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Halloween Boo

Hello, Gemma here. Today I have a fun Halloween card to share featuring new and old Pretty Pink Posh sets.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Boo

I began by creating the background. I blended out from the centre using distress oxide inks in picked raspberry, wilted violet, blueprint sketch, chipped sapphire. I then flicked the panel with water to get lots of distress details.

On the panel, I stamped a greeting in clear embossing ink, from the new Halloween Wreath stamp set, and embossed it with WOW Super Fine Opaque Bright White embossing powder.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Boo

From the centre of the panel, I die cut the Boo Shaker die. I’ll keep these die cut pieces for another card. I adhered the background panel to a square card base, leaving a small white border.

Next, I die cut the Boo Shaker die from black and orange card, and twice from white card. Any pieces I don’t use this time can be saved for another card too.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Boo

I layered the two white die cuts together, then adhered them into the space on the card. From the orange die cut, I took the inner pieces and inlaid them in the pumpkin. I then cut the wording from the black die cut and adhered this over the white word.

I stamped out images from the previously released Halloween Pals stamp set, along with the new Halloween Wreath stamp set. I coloured the images with copic markers and die cut with the coordinating dies.

Pretty Pink Posh: Halloween Boo

I attached some silver embroidery thread from the boo word to the spider, then used foam tape to add the images to the card.

I love the fun, bold colours of Halloween and combining new and old Pretty Pink Posh sets together.

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Trick or Treat Wreath

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a Halloween card that uses the new Halloween Wreath stamp set

Pretty Pink Posh: Trick or Treat Wreath

I started my card by stamping the Halloween Wreath with a Copic friendly black ink. I then colored the wreath images with Copic markers and used the Halloween Wreath coordinating die to cut it out. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Trick or Treat Wreath

For my card panel I used a die from the Stitched Borders 1 die set to create my zig zag edge at the bottom of my white panel. I then splattered the panel with a little paint and set it aside to dry. Next, I began working on the stripes at the bottom. I used the Simple Strips Dies to cut a variety of strips in coordinating colors. I attached the strips to a thin piece of paper, added the white panel and trimmed everything down. 

Pretty Pink Posh: Trick or Treat Wreath

Next, I stamped my sentiment from the Halloween Wreath set onto a piece of black cardstock and heat set it with white embossing powder. I then attached the wreath over the sentiment with foam adhesive for a little added dimension. Lastly, I attached the cute little spice to a piece of baker’s twine and hung it down from the wreath. That little spider just makes me smile.
