Hello, Gemma here for a new Clean and Simple post. Today I’m using the new Flower Bouquets stamp set from the May release on my card today. These beautiful floral arrangements make it so easy to create simple but pretty CAS cards.
I stamped one of the images from the Flower Bouquets stamp set and coloured it with copic markers. These are the colours I used:
BG72, YG61
G07
G40, G43, G24
BV00, BV02, BV04
R81, R83, R85
N0, N1
Y11, Y13, Y15
YR02
In addition, I stamped some butterflies from the previously released Mom stamp set. I used the following copic colours:
YR000, YR02
B000, B00, B34
V01, V12, V15
After die cutting the images with the coordinating dies, I added some extra layers for dimension.
I thought the watering can would look fun with a pattern. Using the new Mini Polka Dots stencil, I inked through the stencil with clear embossing ink, then heat embossed the pattern with gold embossing powder. I used some simple masking with washi tape so I only inked the area of the watering can that I wanted the pattern on.
On my A2 card base, I stamped the sentiment from the Flower Bouquets stamp set. To help ground my floral image, I cut a piece of patterned paper to adhere to the card base. Finally, I added my flower bouquet and butterflies to finish my card.
Hi crafty friends! It’s Mona here, today I am sharing with you a new video tutorial where I am showing you how I colored these birds and florals with some shaker card tips as well.
I stamped the images with alcohol friendly inkpad and colored the images with Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers. If you got inspired, check back here to see this coloring guide.
I have used other colors too: BT4, BT3, BT2, BT1, AG2, AG1, CG2, CG1, OR1, BO1, CT4, CT3, CT1, GY3, PL2, HB3, HB2, HB1, PV1, MG2, MG1, BP1, PP2, PP1 and the colorless Blender. You can watch the coloring processes with useful tips in the video. After the coloring I added white highlights with white pen and pencil.
The next step was the sentiment. I stamped the sentiments from the Happy Mail and the Everyday Greetingsstamp sets with watermark ink to the vellum and heat embossed it with white detailed embossing powder.
The following step was to create the shaker parts. First, I have created teal and pink die-cuts with the largest die from the Slimline Peekaboo Windowsdie set, as well as two white scalloped frames for each card with the Slimline Scallop Frames. I have also cut two pieces of vellum in the same size.
Then I put the card together with a trick using the Original MISTI. If you are interested in this trick, just click on the video.
When my shaker was done, I adhered the colored images to their right place, and adhered it to the card base. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Hey craft friends, Elaine on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today sharing a sweet colorful appreciation card featuring the new Spring Circles stamps.
To start I cut a piece of pink card stock to 6”x 6.5” and scored at 3.25” on the longest edge. Using a bone folder, I burnished along the fold line to create a card base that measured 6”x3.25”.
To add some detail on the front panel I used the Mini Polka Dots stencil and lightly blended on some Distress Ink in Wilted Violet. Due to the size of the card base I had to stencil in two sections. This was easily done by lining up the dots to create a seamless pattern.
Setting the card base aside, I began to work on the base for the circle images. I cut a piece of white card stock to 6”x2.75” and used one of the Scallop Border dies to create a scalloped edge on both long sides. Again, I used the Wilted Violet Distress Ink to lightly blend on some colour to the edges on the panel. I then adhered this panel to the card base, ensuring it was placed so that there was room for a sentiment below.
I stamped the circle images on to copic friendly cardstock and used a variety of markers to color each of them. The markers I used were:
Pink 1: RV66, RV63, RV10
Pink 2: RV14, RV13, RV11
Blue: B66, B63, B60
Purple: V15, V12, V01
Green 1: G07, G05, G02
Teal: BG15. BG13, BG11
Yellow: Y15, Y13, Y11
Black: C7, C5, C3
Blue: B01, B000
I cut out masks for all the images and used them to cover the images before applying a light layer of Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass. I used small blending brush to help my concentrate the color in the centre of the circle and gently pulled the color out to give a soft blend from blue in the centre slowly fading out to white. I used the Spring Circles coordinating die to cut out the images and then adhered them to the card.
The sentiment was taken from Mom stamp set, and white heat embossed on to black card stock. I trimmed this out using a guillotine trimmer and adhered to the front of the card.
To add some sparkle, I used liquid adhesive to secure some Sparkling Clear Confetti around the card front and added some Lemon Jewels to the centres of the flowers.
For the last touch I added some Wink of Stella on all the coloured images and coated some of the elements with Glossy Accents; I love the raised shiny look.
Thank you for joining me today, I cannot wait to see what everyone else creates with this beautiful stamp set!
Hello, crafty friends. It’s Leica here and I have a circle shaped card to share with you all, featuring stamps and coordinating dies from the May release. For this card, I used the new Nautical stamp set. Let’s begin.
Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from Nautical stamp set. I squealed out loud when I saw the coordinating die for the Life’s An Adventure sentiment! I love that Paulina included that for this wonderful set and I hope we see more coordinating dies for sentiments – teehee!
To finish the card, I white heat embossed the waves onto the blue panel and then adhered the stamped images down. I then adhered the inked panel onto the white circle. To make the card base, I die cut another 4.5″ circle in white cardstock, scored at the .25″ mark and glued that to the panel.
That’s all for this shaped card. I hope you like my take on this Nautical Stamp Set and that I have inspired you to create with it.
Let’s start with the circle card. To begin, I die cut a white cardstock using a 4.5″ circle die and another one in 4″. I then ink blended the smaller circle with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide ink and sprayed some water for some interest. I also cut a small part of the circle in white cardstock for the grass area and inked with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide. The scallop edge is cut using Scallop Borders Dies. I ended up with 2 layers of the grass area, because the inked smudged on the first layer so I fixed my mistake by adhering another layer on top. In the end, I liked the look of the double scallop edging for the grass.
Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Bee Friends stamp set. I then stamped the bee trails on the circle panel and the sentiment on the grass piece. Lastly, I adhered the stamped images onto the card panel using liquid glue and the bees with foam tape for dimension.
Hey crafty friends, Elaine here for Day 2 of our blog hop. I’m sharing a seaside themed card with the amazing new stamp set Nautical. To help build the cute scene I also used some other Pretty Pink Posh goodies and I have them linked throughout the post.
Firstly, I stamped out my images and coloured them with copic markers. The numbers I used were:
Red: R59, R39, R29
Blue: B99, B97, B95
White/Grey: C3, C1, C00, 0 (blender)
Yellow: Y15, Y13, Y11
I then went ahead and cut out the images with the Nautical coordinating dies and set them aside while I worked on the circle scene element of the card.
To create the layered circle scene, I cut 4 circles from heavyweight white card using the largest circle die in the Lets Partydie set. One of the circles I left whole and blended on some Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass for the sky. This created the base layer. The next layer I freehand cut a shape to represent ‘land’ or a ‘bank’ for the lighthouse to sit on. I used Distress ink in Vintage Photo for the land layer. For the wavey layers (there are 2) I used the small scallop border die from the Stitched Borders 4 die set to create waves. Both layers were ink blended with Distress Ink in Faded Jeans. I adhered all the layers together with liquid adhesive. To give the waves a little more interest and definition I used a white paint pen (you could use white acrylic paint or white gouache on a paintbrush) all along the top edge of the waves to help them stand out and give the look of sea foam or waves breaking. Before stamping on the birds, I gently laid my boat and lighthouse on to the scene to give me an idea of where the birds needed to go. Once stamped with a black ink I filled them in with a black copic marker (100). I adhered the lighthouse and boat to the scene and left to fully dry.
As a base for my coastal scene, I cut a piece of navy card stock to 4.25” x 4.25” and layered that on top of a piece of stripy patterned paper which measured 4.5” x 4.5”. The two layers were adhered together with liquid adhesive and then secured to a white square card base measuring 5” x 5”.
For the sentiment I stamped out the ‘Life’s an Adventure’ sentiment with a navy ink on white card and cut out with the coordinating die. The circle scene and the sentiment were then adhered to the front of the card. Lastly, to finish off the card, I popped a few white clay confetti hearts here and there and I love how they pop on the dark navy background.

Hello, crafty friends! Leica here today with a card featuring the new Tulip Cover Plate Die. I love that this is an A2 sized die and you can easily make beautiful cards for any occasion with this product.
To begin, I die cut the Tulip Cover Plate Die in white cardstock. I then colored the negatives with Copic Sketch Markers. Next, I made an A2 card base and ink blended the front with Picked Raspberry and Antique Linen. I sprayed some water and splattered white and black acrylic paint for added interest to the background.
I then adhered the cover plate die onto the card base with liquid glue. Next, I paper pieced the negatives onto the card. Super easy, right? The Get Well Soon sentiment is from Simple Sentiments stamp set – I cut up the sentiments so that it would fit on the tag.
That’s all for this simple but beautiful card. I hope that you enjoyed today’s card share and I can’t wait to see your take on this cover plate die.

Hi everyone, Jane here and I’m so excited to be sharing a sneak peek of the new die sets by Pretty Pink Posh which will be released on May 3rd!
To create my first card, I cut a piece of watercolor paper to 3.25 inches by 8.25 inches. Next, I used various colors of watercolor to paint the background and then set it aside to dry. Then, I cut the Slimline: Floral Cover die from white cardstock and added foam tape to the back for some dimension. The panel was then adhered to the watercolor background and the edges were cut using a paper trimmer.
Next, I used the You are Special script die and cut it from white cardstock. The sentiment was stacked three times to create dimension. The top layer was ink blended to match the watercolor background. I cut a strip of white paper and cut the ends using scissors. Next, I used foam tape to adhere the white paper strip to the background and then adhered the sentiment on top using liquid glue.
The entire card front was glued to a white slimline card base and that finishes the first card!
My second card showcases the Tulip Cover Plate die. To create this colorful card I used a combination of ink blending and masking.
To start, I cut the Tulip Cover Plate die from heavy weight white cardstock. Keep the negative die cut pieces from the die cut since you will need them for masking. The tulip panel was adhered to a heavy weight piece of white cardstock using liquid glue.
After the panel was ink blended, I removed the masks (die cut pieces). Then, I used white card stock to cut another piece of the cover die and glued it onto the ink blended panel. This will cover up all the white lines on the tulips and vase that were ink blended and creates a nice finished look to the card.
The coordinating ribbon and tag dies were cut using scrap cardstock. I stamped the sentiment “missing you” from the Simple Sentiment stamp set on the tag and adhered it to the card front behind the bow using liquid glue. The entire panel was then adhered to an A2 white card base and that completes the card!
My last card features the new Tool Background die set and the new Layered Stars stencils. To create this card, I first ink blended a background using various green, teal and blue dye inks. Then, I used one of the the Layered Star stencils and masked off the larger stars. I used a white pigment ink and a large blender brush to create a starry background.
Next, I die cut the Tool Background die from white cardstock and used thin strips of foam tape to adhere it to the blended background. The central sentiment was cut from white cardstock and layered twice to create dimension. I then adhered this to the center of the card using liquid glue.
The entire card front was adhered to a white A2 card base and the finishes the card.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to stop by the Pretty Pink Posh store on May 3rd for the full release!
