Hello friends! It’s Ashley with a pretty floral card using the Flourishing Fuchsias stamps and coordinating dies along with the Flourishing Fuchsias stencil! I am so in love with these stamp/die/stencil combinations from Pretty Pink Posh! They make the beautiful PPP florals even more versatile!

For this card, I started by using a stitched rectangle die on white cardstock for a piece that is slightly smaller than the card front. I used Pinkfresh Studio Ballet Slipper ink and a blending brush to create some light pink shading along the edges, fading into white at the center. After adding some Pixie Spray to the back of my Flourishing Fuchsias stencil, I used it to make some flowers hanging in from the outside top edges of the piece. I used Pinkfresh Studio inks in Sparkling Rose and Bubblegum to go with the pink background and give the feeling that they were in the distance. Make sure to use some masking paper to cover the flowers you aren’t stenciling!

I stamped several of the fuchsias and leaves from Flourishing Fuchsias in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored with Copics. I added a few details with a white Gelly Roll pen, then used the coordinating Flourishing Fuchsias dies to cut everything out. I layered my stamped and colored fuchsias on top of the stenciled ones, popping a few up with foam tape for dimension and trimming off the overhang.

Once I had all my flowers finished, I added the piece to a light grey card base made from Lawn Fawn Fog cardstock. I stamped the “you are special” sentiment from the Flower Bouquets stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink. This might be one of my new favorite sentiment stamps! I finished up the card with a scattering of Pink Blush jewels for some sparkle.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you were inspired by this card!

Hello, crafty friends! Leica here today with an A2 card to share with you all. I can’t seem to put the Easter Basket Die and the Floral Corners stamp set away! This time, I filled the basket up with red, white, and blue flowers, and some firecrackers for a Fourth of July theme. 

Let’s get started! I first cut my panels in red, white, and blue cardstock. For the red cardstock, I used the Layered Stars Stencil in white pigment ink for a fun background. I also white heat embossed with the little stars from a previous release, Camping Friends. Next, I added Sparkling Clear Stars Sequins here and there. I then cut the panel with the Stitched Notes Die for stitching details around the panel. 

I then die cut the basket in white cardstock and the bow from Tulip Cover Plate Die in blue cardstock. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the flowers from the Floral Corners stamp set and the firecrackers from the 4th of July stamp set. I used Copic Sketch Markers in B000/91/93/95, R24/27/29, YG21/23, Y11/13.

I layered my panels in red, white, and blue order. Then I adhered the stamped images onto the card. Lastly, I white heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and glued it down onto the card. 

That’s all for this Fourth of July card. I hope you enjoyed today’s card share and that I have inspired you to create cards for your friends and family.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Friends! Jane here today! I’m so excited to be sharing a card featuring new summer products from Pretty Pink Posh!     

For this card, I used the new grid stencil to create a colorful background for my center image and greeting.  After laying the stencil down on a white piece of card stock, I ink blended a background using the following distress ink colors: seedless preserves, wilted violet, tumbled glass, kitsch flamingo, squeezed lemonade, dried marigold and abandoned coral.  

Next, I stamped the images from the new Summer Fun and Summer Wreath sets using versafine black ink and colored them using zig clean color brush pens. White gel pen used for accents on the images.  The images were then cut using the coordinating die sets and adhered to the card front using foam tape.

The sentiment from the Summer Wreath stamp set was white heat embossed on black cardstock and cut using a paper trimmer.  I adhered the sentiment  to the card front using liquid glue.

Next, I trimmed down the card front using a paper trimmer and mounted it to an A2 white card base and that completes the card!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Hope you all have a wonderful summer!

Hey crafty friends! Elaine here to share a super fun summer card using fabulous new products from the Pretty Pink Posh June release!  

To start this card, I cut a piece of copic friendly cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5”, this will be trimmed down later.  Using the new Summer Wreath stamp set, I used a black copic friendly ink to stamp the palm tree, water melon, umbrella, ice lolly and ice cream multiple times all over the card panel.  I like to start with the biggest stamps first, in this case the palm tree and then worked down to the smallest stamps to fill in any gaps. My preferred method for creating my own background using little stamps is to mount the stamps on to an acrylic block and stamp direct to the card.  I have used a stamp positioner in the past, but it takes a lot longer….and I am impatient 😉. I then colored all the images.  I used quite a lot of different marker combinations for this project, and I have listed them all below.  I love the fun and vibrant colors and think they all work lovely together:

Palm tree: E29, E27, E25, G17, YG23, YG03

Watermelon: R37, R35, R32, G28, G07, G05

Umbrella: BG15, BG13, BG11, Y15, Y13, Y11, RV66, RV55, RV52

Ice lolly: R29, R27, R24, YR07, YR04, YR02, Y15, Y13, Y11

Ice cream: R85, R83, R81, E57, E55, E53, R39, R35

Once I colored all the images I trimmed the panel to 5 1/8” x 3 7/8” and secured it to a piece of hot pink cardstock measuring 5 3/8” x 4 1/8” to leave a nice border.  After applying some liquid adhesive to the back of the hot pick card panel I secured to a white A2 size base.

For the sentiment I went small and simple to ensure my background was the star of the show.  I used the sentiment ‘Summer Greetings’ from the same Summer Wreath stamp set and stamped it with a black pigment ink on to some white heavy weight cardstock.  I carefully trimmed this with a guillotine trimmer and layered it on to a piece of black cardstock with a small border to help the sentiment stand out on the colorful background.  I adhered the sentiment with a piece of foam tape to the centre of the card front.

For some final embellishment I added small jewels in the shades Watermelon, Caribbean Blue and Lemon Drop in gaps around the images.  I also added some highlights with a white gel pen to the images to help them pop.

I hope you enjoyed this project, and it brings you some inspiration for your own summer themed cards.  I cannot wait to see what everyone else creates with the products in the June release!
