Christmas Theme Week- Day 1

Hello, Gemma here today with a card featuring the new Poinsettia Corners and Christmas Candles stamp sets from the October release. I think these sets work so well together. I stamped images from both sets and coloured them with copic markers.

Be sure to stop by the Christmas section at the Pretty Pink Posh store for 15% off products in that category this week!

Copic marker colours:
Poinsettia petals: R20, R22, R24, R27, R46
Flower centres: Y35, Y38
Poinsettia leaves: G14, G17; YG99
Holly leaves: G14, G07, G28
Lantern: YR23, YR24, E74
Candle: E51, E53, E55
Flame: YR14, YR16
Candle glow: Y00, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17

I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out, then started working on the arrangement.

On an A2 panel of white card, I cut a circle window from the centre, large enough for the Christmas Candles image to sit. I adhered a piece of grey patterned paper to my card base, then added the A2 panel on top.

To keep the sentiment simple and the focus on the images, I used my stamping tool to curve a simple sentiment around the edge of the circle. This sentiment is from the previously released Angel Friends stamp set.

All of the images have extra die cut layers behind for dimension. For extra embellishment, I added some Cherry Red pearls for the berries and Nuvo Glitter Accents in Aztec Gold to the centre of the flowers.

Thank you for stopping by. Be sure to visit us tomorrow for another day of Christmas inspiration!

Non- Traditional Baby Card

Hi, it’s Mona here, and in my newest video I will show you how I mixed these cute critters from different seasonal sets, and how I made this shiny sentiment in the center of my card.

Pretty Pink Posh: Non- Traditional Baby Card

First, I stamped the big baby sentiment from the Baby stamp set with watermark ink to a piece of teal cardstock, then I heat embossed it with my heat gun. After heat embossing, I picked my Prismacolor white pencil, and I made a quick coloring on these small images to make them pop out a little. It’s super simple, just a flat coloring. Then I added sparkly details with clear glitter pen and white blizzard Nuvo Drops.

I continued with the stamping but this time with brown alcohol ink friendly inkpad to a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I have stamped the images from the Monster Hugs, Pumpkin Patch Critters, Summer Drinks as well as the Baby stamp set. Then I colored them with alcohol-based Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers.

I have used the following colors: PP1, FS1, MG1, MG2, AP4, CR1, BO05, BO1, BO2, OR1, BO4, CT1, CT2, CT4, GY3, EB6, EB2, BG1, BT1, BT4, BT3, Blender.

After the coloring I die-cut all the images, then I picked the Slimline Peekaboo Windows Dies, and I fixed the coordinating baby die to the center of the die with a craft tape and then I run it through my die cut machine with a piece of pastel teal cardstock. I also made a bit larger white die-cut as a card front with the larger die from the same Slimline Die Set. Then I adhered the previously created baby text to the back of the slimline die-cut with liquid adhesive.

I wanted to break the smooth pastel look of this cardstock, so I blended some stars on it with light blue inkpad through the star stencil from the Spooky Sky stencil set. After this I splattered on it with white watercolor and gave it a quick heat set.

In the end styled my card with these lovely images. I like to use different types of adhesives, to add a bit dimension to the final look.

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

Hugs, Mona.

Pastel Layered Ornaments

Hi everyone! It’s Leica here. Today, I have a simple yet beautiful Christmas card to share with you. This takes no time to make – thanks to the layered stencils from Pretty Pink Posh! For my card, I used the new Layered Ornaments Stencils.

Let’s get started! First, I cut a 4.75″ square in silver glitter cardstock. I also cut a 4.5″ square in white cardstock. Now it’s time to ink through the stencils. I first used the C layer (the stencils are labeled on the bottom). The inks I used are Kitsch Flamingo, Milled Lavender, and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. Next, I used Glitz Glitter Gel in Silver through the B layer. I let this dry for a couple of hours before ink blending with Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Ink through the A layer.

For the sentiment, I white heat embossed Merry Christmas from the Holiday Scripts Stamp Set onto a strip of black cardstock and foam mounted on the panel. I wanted more shimmer, so I brushed some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer in Glitter Gloss on the white areas of the card. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a card base.

That’s all for this pastel and silver Christmas card. I hope you enjoyed today’s card share!

Autumn Theme Week- Day 7

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with an A2 sized card, featuring the adorable critters from the Cozy Fall Critters Stamp Set.

I first cut a 4.25″ x 5.5″ 110lb white cardstock and ink blended with Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Inks. I sprayed with some water and added white dots using a gel pen. Next, I cut the Leaf Frame Die in white cardstock and adhered it to the inked panel. I then stamped the Hello Fall greeting using Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

The leaves and critters are also stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored with Copic markers:

Mouse – C5/3/1/0, R32/30, V17/15/12, Y18/15

I cut the images with their coordinating dies and foam mounted them on the card panel for dimension. To add interest and sparkle, I adhered sequins here and there. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto an A2 card base.

It’s so easy to create cards with the Leaf Frame Die, especially when paired with the cutest autumn critters! I hope you enjoyed today’s card share. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Autumn Theme Week- Day 6

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today, and I’m delighted to be celebrating Autumn Theme Week with you. I adore this time of year and my project today was inspired by a wreath I look forward to hanging in our home during the autumn season every year.

Because the stems are pretty delicate, it helps if you start with a base for your wreath. Nearly all of the base will be covered up, so you can use any of the wreath coordinating dies, but the Autumn Wreath coordinating dies are a great choice. Once I cut my wreath form, I blended on vintage photo distress oxide ink. (This ensures that any parts that do remain uncovered don’t stand out.) The bulk of my wreath is made up of just two of the Fall Foliage Dies. I used the long narrow leaf stem (pictured in the upper left corner of the above photo) and one of the berry stems.

To create the wreath, I die cut the narrow leaf stem 9 times, blending 4 stems with peeled paint distress oxide ink and 5 stems with vintage photo distress oxide ink. I also blended dried marigold distress oxide ink onto 3 berry stems.

I assembled the wreath in layers. First, I put down the green stems, overlapping them slightly and curving them to fit the circular form. Next, I added the brown stems. Because I had more brown stems, I overlapped them more as I was gluing them down. By using just a little adhesive at the base of each stem, I was able to fluff the stems to make the wreath look more full. The final layer was the three berry sprigs, which I just tucked in between the leaves. After I had everything the way I liked it, I flicked on some brown paint splatters.

Now the fun part! I stamped and embossed two sizes of pumpkins from Fall Corners and the little pinecone in Cozy Fall Critters. I blended vintage photo distress oxide ink and walnut stain distress ink on the pinecones and added just the tiniest bit of vintage photo ink onto the pumpkins. (I wanted them to appear white, but without a bit of color they were a little too white.) After fussy cutting them out, I tucked them here and there throughout my wreath. I adhered the pinecones with glue and the pumpkins with dimensional foam since they would be bulkier in real life. The final touch was a sprinkling of espresso pearls.

To finish off my card, I popped the wreath up on a piece of barnwood patterned paper and embossed a sentiment from Woodland Thanks right in the center.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Make sure to come back tomorrow for more autumn inspiration and don’t forget to pick up some of your fall favorites while they are on sale this week!

Autumn Theme Week- Day 5

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today sharing a fun card with you all as part of the Autumn Theme Week.

Be sure to stop by the Thanksgiving section at the Pretty Pink Posh store for 15% off products in that category this week!

I started my card by making my leaves. I used the Falling Leaves stamp set and stamped my leaves in bright pink, red, orange and yellow dye ink. Next, I used the Falling Leaves stencil to add ink to the leaves. I used a blending brush and kept the colors a little lighter than the outline. I then used the Falling Leaves dies to cut out all of the leaves. I also ink blended my background and used the same colors as the leaves. Lastly, I added a few white and gold splatters to the leaves and panel.

Next, I used the Cozy Fall Critters to stamp my bunny and small leaves. I colored the images with Copic markers and used the Cozy Fall Critters dies to cut them out. I placed the images on a white die cut that had been die cut with the Halloween Circles die. To finish my card I attached everything to my card panel with foam adhesive.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my card and find a little time to be crafty today!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Autumn Theme Week- Day 4

Hello friends! It’s Ashley with a pretty metallic card to help celebrate Autumn Theme week here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog!

I love to use nontraditional colors on my holiday and seasonal colors, and fall cards are no exception. One of my favorite colors for fall is pink! It goes so well with golds, especially in leaf piles like the one in the Leaf Frame die.

I started my card by blending Distress inks in Aged Mahogany and Tattered Rose onto white cardstock. I splattered the piece with watered down gold acrylic paint and used my heat gun to dry the drops. I cut the Leaf Frame die from more white cardstock and added it to the ink blended background.

I used the Leaf Frame on metallic gold cardstock and gold glitter cardstock, taking care to keep the pieces together the best I could so nothing got lost. I then used the gold cuts to fill in the leaves of my white frame.

For my sentiment, I stamped the “thankful” script word from Woodland Thanks in VersaMark ink and embossed it with gold metallic embossing powder. I then stamped over it with VersaMark a second time and embossed again, this time with gold glitter embossing powder to create a glittery gold main sentiment. I cut it out with the matching die and added it to my card. I finished the sentiment with a phrase from Woodland Thanks, stamped in VersaMark and embossed with gold metallic powder.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Autumn Theme Week- Day 3

Hi crafty friends, it’s Mona. Welcome to day 3 of the Pretty Pink Posh Autumn Theme Week.

Stop by the Thanksgiving section at the Pretty Pink Posh store for 15% off products in that category this week!

To create this scene, first I grabbed my current favorite fall stamp set, the Cozy Fall Critters stamp set, and stamped the squirrel, some leaves, the most amazing pinecones and an acorn to a piece of Neenah Solar white cardstock with brown alcohol friendly inkpad.

After a quick heat set, I colored them with Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers. I wanted to achieve a rusty look for the squirrel, and an amber touch for the golden leaves, so I have used the following colors: TN8, TN7, TM3, TN1, FS8, EB4, EB2, BO3, BO1, CT4, CT3, CT1, FS9. I have also added white details to pop the images out more with white pigment pen.

For the background I have created a monochromatic fall tree look, using only pink shades. Started with my lightest markers to make the tree shapes, and finished with more vibrant colors to give it a dimension. I have used the following shades from the Spectrum Noir Illustrators: AP1, PP1, FS2, PP3, PP4, PP6.

Next, I stamped the Autumn scripty word from the Woodland Thanks stamp set with watermark ink and heat embossed with gold and white embossing powders. The thankful sentiment has it’s coordinating die, which is really cool. I love when the scripty sentiments have their coordinating dies. I also stamped the “wishes” word from the Holiday Scripts stamp set with dark brown ink.

In the end I styled my card and put the pieces together with 3D foam squares and liquid adhesive. Thank you so much for joining me for today, I wish you a peaceful autumn day.

Autumn Theme Week- Day 2

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a girly Autumn card as part of our Autumn Theme Week. I just love pink, no matter the season. So I thought I’d try it for an Autumn card and I’m glad it worked out for my card.

Be sure to shop the Thanksgiving section for 15% off items in this category all week!

Let’s start! I first cut a 5″ square in light pink cardstock and ink blended the bottom with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. I then cut a 4.5″ square in white cardstock and ink blended Gina K Designs Amalgam Ink in Warm Glow through the Leaves Background Stencil. I adhered the smaller panel onto the larger panel. I also cut a 4.5″ square vellum to mute the busy background and allow the leaves/wreath to stand out.

Next, I used the Falling Leaves Stencil for some easy coloring. I used Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide Inks. I then lined up the coordinating stamps from the Falling Leaves stamp set and used my stamping platform to stamp over the stenciled leaves. For this, I used Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. I cut the leaves with their coordinating dies. I arranged the leaves in a wreath and foam mounted them onto the vellum panel. I then adhered the vellum to the 4.5″ square panel.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed Autumn in gold and cut with the coordinating die. The word blessings is stamped onto a strip of pink cardstock and foam mounted in the center of the card.

I couldn’t resist adding the little acorns from the Cozy Fall Critters stamp set onto my wreath. To complete the look, I also tied a bow using brown twine.

Lastly, I cut a white 5″ square, scored at the .25″ mark, and adhered it to the card panel to finish my card.

I hope you enjoyed my pink Autumn card! Have an amazing day!
