Cards

Good Morning! Dana here sharing a card using the adorable Spring Wreath and Bee Friends stamp sets.

I started my card by stamping the wreath from the Spring Wreath stamp set, along with the smaller bees from the Bee Friends stamp set. I then colored my images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies, Spring Wreath and Bee Friends, to die cut the images.

Next, I started working on my card panel. I began by ink blending Distress Oxide Ink in Tumbled Glass to create my background. I then used the Scallop Frames Die Set to die cut my background and a white frame. I attached this to a sunny yellow cardstock mat before attaching it to my A2 card base.

To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment from the Everyday Greetings Stamp Set in the center of my card. Lastly, I attached my wreath and the fun little bees with foam adhesive to my card front. 

If you missed the post last week featuring lots more bee inspiration, you can find it HERE. This stamp set is really fun and can be used in a lot of ways.

Enjoy your day!

Hello crafty friends, Yoonsun here with you sharing couple of watercolored floral cards using so beautiful Peonies Stamp & Die Set. Today is the last day of Floral Theme Week and I bet you guys are really enjoying Pretty Pink Posh’s flowers each day this week! All products in the floral section are 15% off May 20-26.

I started by stamping peonies & leaves on watercolor paper using light colored dye ink. I then watercolored all stamped images, die cut them with the Peonies Coordinating Dies.

I die cut the Spring Frame from white card stock, then mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape – it’s tone-on-tone background base.

For the sentiment, I die cut the Love You Script from white card stock. I then added all watercolored peonies & sentiment die cut on the bottom right side of the card front using foam tape. I embellished with some Valentine Jewels Mix.

Here is another card with the Peonies Stamp Set. It is a so simple watercolor card. I stamped peonies & leaves (from the Peonies Set), sentiment (from the Encouraging Greetings Set) on watercolor paper panel using black pigment ink first. I used Post-It Notes for masking.

I then freely watercolored on stamped images! :D

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed the floral theme week!

Hugs, Yoonsun

Welcome to Day 6 of Pretty Pink Posh Floral Theme Week! Alix here using my bright and pretty spring colors to inspire you today! We are having a 15% discount on all items in our Floral section during this week! 

To start with my card, I stamped my flower and leaf images from Crocus Flower stamps set  using versafine onyx black ink onto a piece of Bristol smooth paper and die cut them using the Crocus Flowers coordinating dies. I pulled out Zig Clean color real brush markers to color them in layers. I set them aside for later use.

To build my background, I cut my lattice panel by using  Lattice Background Die out of a piece of white card stock paper, then I hand cut the center to create a diamond shaped opening. I layered it over a piece of A2 sized card base as a template so I could mark the area with pencil. I removed the lattice die cut and masked the background with washi tape. I ink blended it the unmasked area with TIm Holtz Distress oxide ink in Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed, and stamped the sentiment I chose form Thoughtful Greeting stamp set. I lined up and glued the lattice panel to the card base.

I arranged my stamped images around the diamond window using Multi Medium Matte. Then I embellished my card with Sugar Plum Mix Jewels

Hi Friends! Welcome to another day of Floral Theme Week! It is Melody here today and I have a card to share that I created with the Geraniums Stamp Set and the Geraniums Coordinating Dies.

Have you purchased any of our florals? This week they are 15% off!

The Geraniums along with the Hugs Shaker makes this card perfect for a number of different occasions.

My first step was to create the checked backgrounds. I cut a piece of white card stock to fit the card front and attached the Wide Stripes Stencil to the paper horizontally across the card front. I used a pale green ink and a ink blending tool to stencil the stripes.

Next I used the stencil again changing the direction so that the stripes run vertically. In two steps I have a cute gingham pattern!

To add the sentiment I cut the Hugs Shaker Die twice, once directly into the card front to cut out the circle from the card front, and again from purple cardstock. Then I inlayed the purple die cut into the front of the card. Behind the circle I added vellum and then yellow cardstock.

I arranged the flowers and leaves around the sentiment. The images are colored with Copic Markers and the accented with a white gel pen. I finished off the card with a scattering of Pearl White Jewels.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to stop by tomorrow for more floral inspiration.

Hi, everyone! Marge here with you for the day 3 of Floral Theme Week featuring the Flourishing Fuchsias stamp set. Today, I’m going to share my Copic coloring of the fuchsias on Distress Oxide ink blended background. 

All items in the Floral section are 15% off this week!

I started by stamping  Flourishing Fuchsias and Bee Friends on 80lb Neenah White paper using Memento Black ink and colored the images using my Copic Markers. I cut them all using Flourishing Fuchsias coordinating dies and Bee Friends coordinating dies. 

Next, I prepared two pieces of A2 sized Bristol paper, ink-blended them using Distress Oxide Inks: Worn Lipstick, Tattered Rose, and Twisted Citron. I cut one panel using Spring Frame Die, and then I gave more shades to the frame by adding a little bit of Abandoned Coral on the top and Mowed Lawn on the bottom. 

I layered the frame to the bottom panel followed by fuchsias and bees around the frame, then I stamped Thinking of You from Bee Friends stamp set through the frame using my Mini MISTI. I splattered with white and dark pink ink over the panel and let them dry. 

Next, I adhered the frame onto the bottom panel with dimensions using Square Foam Adhesives and Strips Foam Adhesives, and then I adhered Flourishing Fuchsias and Bees on the background. For this, I used Strips Foam Adhesives and Glue Dots. After I was satisfied with all the arrangement, I added white details using a white gel pen. I then adhered 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins here and there and finished off the card.

Copic Markers I used are as follows:

Purple: BV08-V17-V15-V12-V01

Bright Pink: RV29-RV25-RV23-RV21-RV00

Purple Pink: R89-R85-R83-R81, I mixed R89-R85-R83-R81 and BV08-V17-V15-V12-V01 on the same petals for unique color expressions.

 Green: G29-G28-G24-G21-G00 

Bees: E79-E77-E74-E71, Y17-Y15-Y11, G20

Thanks for stopping today. I hope you enjoyed the post. Come back tomorrow for another day of floral inspiration!

Hi everyone, Ardyth here and it’s my turn to highlight one of Pretty Pink Posh’s floral stamp sets for Floral Theme week. Be sure to check back because we will have new inspiration each day this week. All products in the floral section are 15% off May 20-26. 

Cherry blossoms are the perfect sign that spring has arrived (finally!) and I wanted to recreate their soft pretty colours.

I started by stamping all the Cherry Blossom stamps in the set onto some watercolour cardstock, with embossing ink, before embossing them with Silver Pearl embossing powder. This powder is white, but it also has a beautiful shimmer.

I taped the panel to a board and watercoloured them with some of my ink pads. I used a water brush to fill each flower with water before bringing a small amount of colour to the centre, allowing the water to carry the colour out to the edges, fading out as it travelled. The embossed outlines kept the colour from going too far.

I followed a similar process for the leaves, using a fresh, spring green that I knew would contrast well with the flowers. To add a bit more interest and sophistication, I went back in with a second colour – a more muted lavender for the blossoms and a deeper green for the leaves.

I used the coordinating dies to cut all the flowers and leaves out and then it was time to create my background. 

As a cardmaker, I tend to use bold bright colours. Whenever I try to make something soft and pretty, I find myself reaching for something ‘else’ to punch it up a bit. This time I did some ink smooshing on my background, in the same fresh green colour that I had used on the leaves. This increased contrast helped the blossoms pop! I trimmed this panel with the stitched rectangle from Stitched Notes.

For my sentiment, I used the Happy Birthday Script die. I cut it once from white cardstock and then again from the centre of the green ink-smooshed panel. Before inlaying the white sentiment into the panel, I coated it with embossing ink and embossed it with the same Silver Pearl embossing powder that I used for my images, so that everything would tie together.
I added the flowers and leaves to the panel, allowing parts to extend over the edge for added interest. I used foam tape to pop up some of the elements, and others were glued directly to the panel.

To finish the card, I glued the panel to an oyster card base. I have some leftover flowers for another card; I will store them in the pocket with the stamp set until I need them. 

Thanks for joining us today. Stop by tomorrow for a card using our Flourishing Fuchsias!
