Hello crafty friends, Davina here and I’m so excited to be participating in the Halloween Theme Week. All of their products are so wonderfully illustrated and designed, that it is a breeze to pull multiple stamp sets, stencils and dies together to make the cutest cards and decor. I did just that for this bright and bold shaker boxcard. 

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

I stamped images from newer and older sets to build this scene. Halloween Pals, Ghost Friends, Halloween Friends, and Giving Thanks to name a few. I always use the coordinating dies to achieve a clean and polished look to my images. 

Before assembling this card, I created a flat mesh shaker using the Cauldron Shaker Die. I cut the shaker twice, added a few stamped images along with some glow in the dark mini stars and some clay confetti pieces from the Halloween Party Mix. I sandwiched a small piece of orange tulle mesh to make a flat shaker using 1/8 double sided tape. 

For the background I inkblended an orange ombré sky and used the Spooky Sky Stencil to ink the bats and emboss the clouds onto my Bristol cardstock. I gently splattered with water and black ink to distress and “spookify” the sky. 

I was excited to use up several pieces of patterned paper remnants, that I had in my stash, for each of the layers and side panels of the box. I adhered my images and shaker through the layers and even made sure to have some floating pieces using acetate strips. I finished this up by stamping a sentiment on the back and adding a final pumpkin. 

I hope you love this fun and spooky card and appreciate you stopping by to see how I created it. Now is the perfect time for you to stock up on your Halloween supplies at Pretty Pink Posh, all of the Halloween items are on sale- don’t miss out!

Hi all! I’m Rebecca sharing a card I made with Pretty Pink Posh Candy Treats Dies! This die set is perfect for Halloween cards, but also can be used for other occasions!

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

There are so many fun ways to embellish these Candy Treats die cuts! The dies come with so many different options for tiny treats for Halloween and they look cute on a card just on their own, but it can be fun to add accents to them to. 

One way is to cut them out of colorful cardstock and add white gel pen details. You can add tiny white dots even on the tiniest die cuts!

Another way is to add a coating of clear glaze. You can even adhere the die cut frosting accents to the candies with the clear glaze and once it dries it will be dimensional, shiny and have the frosting accent trapped in the glaze!

You can use the same glaze to attach Monster Mash Confetti to the die cuts to create candy with sprinkles! 

Or you can add a shimmer coat to the candies with a shimmer pen. Clear shimmer pens are great on colorful cardstock because while they add that shiny shimmery accent, they don’t fully change the color of the paper.

To complete the card add a cute ghost from the Ghost Friends Stamp Set. To make the design of the card simple, use a basic grid to arrange the candies and make sure that each row has a mix of different embellishment effects!

Have fun with different color combinations and enjoy embellishing your die cuts! Thanks for stopping by!

Hello, it’s Jeanne here for Halloween Theme Week. There are so many amazing Halloween themed stamp and dies at Pretty Pink Posh that the hardest part is choosing a favorite! I’m so glad we don’t have to! Today I mixed two stamp sets together- Halloween Critters and Woodland Thanks– to create this fun fall scene! 

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

My card starts with a Distress Oxide background. I love Oxide ink for blending backgrounds because it’s creamy consistency stays wet longer making blending easier. My background was created with Mowed Lawn, Fossilized Amber, Carved Pumpkin, Worn Lipstick and Wilted Violet. I splattered the panel with water, Dr. Ph. Martins Bleed proof White ink, and some Salty Ocean. 

All of the images were colored with Copic markers although any brand will do because there isn’t any shading involved here. 

I arranged foliage from the Woodland Thanks stamp set to look like branches hanging. Little mushrooms dot the forest floor, and colorful flowers bloom among the leaves.

Mixing sets and creating scenes couldn’t get easier because so many sets are perfectly proportioned to work together.

Happy crafting! Join us tomorrow for another day of Halloween inspiration!

Hey everyone, Amanda here and I am SO EXCITED to be on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today celebrating Halloween Theme Week. There’s a sale and tons of inspiration all week for all things Halloween. Today I have a super cool shaker card to share with you.

I started my card by creating the shaker cauldron. I ink blended distress oxide in ripe persimmon and carved pumpkin on a scrap of white cardstock and set it aside. Then I die cut 8 cauldrons from black cardstock and adhered them to the ink blended scrap. I trimmed the panel down, added my shaker bits, an acetate panel and then one more black cauldron on top and set it aside to dry with acrylic blocks on top of it.

Next, I ink blended my background with more distress oxide ink. Mowed lawn to twisted citron on the bottom, fading into nothing. Then seedless preserves to tattered rose, fading into the same nothing on the top. Then I layered the bat stencil from the Spooky Sky stencil set and blended black ink through that. 

Then I stamped and heat embossed the outline fence image from Halloween Borders and a sentiment from Ghost Friends and used the coordinating dies to cut both of them out. I stamped two ghosts from Ghost Friends and colored them with my copic markers before die cutting them as well. I wanted a little something else so I went digging and found this sweet witchy kitty from Halloween Pals. I stamped and colored her with copics too and then cut her out with the coordinating dies. 

To assemble my card, I added the background panel to a card base and the fence directly to that. Next, I glued down the cauldron shaker and added foam squares to my images and sentiment. I removed the release paper and adhered those down before moving on to finishing touches. 

For that I just added black glaze pen to the eyes that are “open” and glossy accents to the band on the witch hat. Last, I added swooshes of Wink of Stella glitter brush pen on the details of both ghosts. Just a little shimmer in the light but it’s fun. 

I hope you enjoyed today’s project and found some inspiration to create something wonderful. I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!     

Hi crafty friends, it’s Jeannie here! Today, I’m pulling a bunch of both old and new Pretty Pink Posh items together for three fun Halloween cards. When I first saw the Candy Treat Dies, I didn’t really focus on the candy silhouettes but I immediately thought of how I could use it to create faces for Halloween and that’s exactly what I did today. 

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

I pulled a couple dies from the Candy Treat set and die cut them for facial features for my Frankenstein, pumpkin, and mummy.  Of course, for some I had to manipulate some pieces, like for the teeth of the mummy, which came from the longer piece of candy with a wrapper. 

I also had to pull out the Stacked Edges 1 Die for the mouth of the pumpkin (which I cut shorter) and using both the Stitched Strips Dies and the Stacked Edges 1 Dies to build up Frankenstein’s hair.  

I picked out colored cardstock for the base of their faces and trimmed them down if I wanted to. This was so fun to put together because you can be super creative and candy features as facial features as well but for my three cards today, I stuck with very basic features. 

For my card bases, I pulled out colored cardstock along with the Spider Web stencil and stenciled them up using this metallic wax I found in my craft stash. It didn’t need to be perfect because most of it would be covered up but I wanted some texture in the background. 

To finish off these cards, I die cut the Boo Script sentiment twice, once on holographic cardstock and once on gray cardstock so I can stack them for added dimension. I also pulled out the spider from the Spider Web Die to add accents to two of my cards. It was just a fun touch to add! 

There are so many possibilities to create and I hope you get inspired to create! 

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon! 

Hi friends! It’s Stefanie here and today we are kicking off Pretty Pink Posh’s Halloween Theme Week! We will be sharing lots of crafty inspiration.

My card today features the Halloween Envelopes stamp set and a sentiment from Ghost Friends stamp set.

There are coordinating dies for both sets, but for my card I only needed the Halloween Envelopes Coordinating Dies.

To create my card, I started by stamping out the envelope with the most adorable creepy critters and some tiny extras on white cardstock. Then I colored my images with Copic markers.

• Ghosts: B00, B000, R30, R000
• Bats and Hair: W5, W3, W1
• Frankenstein: BG93, YG61, R30
• Spiders: BV02, B60, R32
• Outer Envelope: E42, E41
• Inner Envelope: E40
• Splatter: W9

I laid my images out on an A2 card base so it looks like the creepy fliers and the creepy crawlers are spilling out of the envelope to see where I wanted my background ink blending.

I used distress oxide in Iced Spruce to blend heavily from the bottom right corner and fade to white in the upper left. Then I adhered my colored images using foam tape.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed “Boo to you” in white on black cardstock, then cut it out to the shape I wanted. I think it fits nicely in the corner!

Finally to tie everything together, I added a little bit of “splatter” using a Copic marker. I think it matches the sentiment and draws a line for the eye from the top to the bottom of the card.

At the end, I added a touch of highlight using a white gel pen and my card was done.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like my card! Be sure to come back tomorrow for Day 2 of Halloween Theme Week!

Hello friends! It’s Leica here on the blog today. I have a Happy Thanksgiving card to share with you all featuring the new Fall Basket die set and Mouse Friends stamp set. Let’s get started!

I first cut a A2 sized panel in white cardstock and ink blended with Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide Ink. For added interest, I splattered some black and gold acrylic paint. 

Next, I worked on the Fall Basket dies. I ink blended Distress Oxide Inks on scrap papers and cut the basket, leaves, and pumpkins. I used the following inks – Antique Linen, Fossilized Amber, Mowed Lawn, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, and Twisted Citrus. I adhered some pumpkins on the back of the basket and then foam mounted the front onto the pumpkins. 

I then stamped, colored, and cut the mice from the new Mouse Friends stamp set. I used Copic markers in R20/00/000 and W3/1/0. Next, I adhered all the elements onto the inked card panel. For texture and added interest, I glued some pearls in Sunset Orange here and there. Lastly, I white heat emboss the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and foam mounted onto the card panel.

Thanks so much for stopping by! We can’t wait to see what you create with this new release!

Hello, Gemma here today. I’m using the wonderful Layered Apple stencil with an older stamp set, called School Friends. There are 3 layers in the Layered Apples stencil set – apples, stalks, and leaves.

I began with the apple stencil layer, blending distress oxide inks in Abandoned Coral and Worn Lipstick over an A2 card base.

For the stalk layer, I used Walnut Stain distress oxide ink. I then used the last layer of the stencil set to add the leaves, with Mowed Lawn distress oxide ink.

The Layered Apples stencilled background is so pretty when finished and there are lots of fun possibilities for colours. Next, I stamped images from the School Friends stamp set, colouring the images with copic markers and die cutting with the coordinating dies.

I die cut the Storybook 4 die from white card as I wanted to use the wide window piece for my sentiment. I stamped a sentiment from the Everyday Greetings stamp set, adhering it to my card with foam squares. I then added the School Friends images to finish, adding dimension with blank die cuts behind.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. If you’re on Instagram, we’ll have a reel showing how to make this card up shortly!
