Good morning! Heather here to share a sneak peek at a few of the FABULOUS new stamps and dies that will be releasing at Pretty Pink Posh very soon! In particular, I’m spotlighting the creative new Sparkle Dot Patterns 1 Stamp Set – you are going to love what you can do with this stamp set! I used it to create that fabulous heart element on my card here.
First of all, I created a simple watercolor wash in a soft blue, then once that dried, I stamped the heart from Sparkle Dot Patterns 1 Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I used black, but if you are planning on using smaller sequins or Nuvo drops or something along those lines, I suggest using a soft colored ink that won’t show as much. I wanted it nice and crisp and visible for my card today.
Next up I used some Metallic Gold Confetti Mix to fill in my heart. I added tiny dots of Ranger Multi Medium Matte glue with a fine tip, then used a Jewel Picker to add the confetti. I chose to use the medium size of the confetti – it was the perfect size! Now – it is absolutely fun just like that, but I have been loving adding Nuvo drops to the center of confetti lately, so I filled in the centers of each with some Ripened Pumpkin Gloss Nuvo Drops. It ends up looking like enamel drops with a pretty gold ridge around the outside edges! So fun!
While all that dried, I stamped, colored, and die cut the cute little foxes from another new set, Winter Woodland. (sorry for the one upside down Copic marker – didn’t notice it until now!)
I also used the gorgeous new Thank You Script Die and cut out both a black and white version. I then adhered them together with a glue pen slightly offset, so that the black shadow peeks from behind and helps it pop a little more on my finished card.
Once the heart dried, I adhered the large Thank You, added the foxes with foam adhesive, and added the little tag to the sentiment using the Thoughtful Greetings Stamp Set and masking off part of the sentiment. I also added a few hearts from that set randomly stamped on the card front, and finished off by matting with orange cardstock and mounting on a blue cardbase.
Do you see the fun dimension you get on this? And everyone will wonder how you got your sequins or drops so evenly spaced on your heart! Can’t wait to share more projects I’ve made with this fun stamp set!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!
Hello everyone, Joni here sharing products from the new upcoming November 2017 release from Pretty Pink Posh. Today I’m highlighting the Wild Rose stamp set and Wild Rose coordinating dies.
For this first card, I stamped the images with Lawn Fawn Doe dye ink and colored it with Copic markers, then die-cut with Wild Rose Coordinating Die.
Next, I created my background using strips of double sided tape and cover it with glitters for accent. Then adhered the die-cuts with foam tape for dimensions.
Then, I stamped the sentiment “you are amazing” from Everyday Greetings stamp set on gray cardstock using versamark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder. I added some Sparkling Clear sequins to finish it off.
For my next card I created more on a bright side.
To begin, I colored the images with reds and pinks Copic markers then die-cut.
For this card I also used the new Thank You Script Die. After die-cutting from white cardstock I then colored the die-cut thank you with Copics and the rest adhered at the back of the colored one.
Next, I distressed the card base and added some dots using Copic markers. Then adhered the pieces together and added some new Berry Bright Mix to finish of this card.
I hope you enjoyed my projects, thank you for stopping by. Join us tomorrow for another sneak peek!
Hello Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I am sharing a video tutorial showing how to create a Clean & Simple interactive Christmas card with the Angel Friends stamp set.
I started working on my project by stamping two angels, two halos and a banner onto white cardstock using alcohol marker friendly ink. Just to be safe I stamped images twice and also used my mini MISTI and double stamped them to have the blackest black outline possible.
Watch my video tutorial below to learn how I made this card.
Using a few Copics I did some rather quick and basic coloring. I went with reds, yellows and blues for my color combo and used the following markers: R20, R22, R24, R27, R39 and R89 (to color angel’s dresses, banner and to add blush); Y17, Y15 and Y11 (to color angel’s hair), E00 and E000 (to color skin) and finally B000 to color wings and collars on dresses.
I cut images out using coordinating dies and heat embossed “Joy To The World” sentiment in white embossing powder onto my red colored banner. I made sure the ink from my Copics was dry on the banner die cut before I heat embossed anything as I didn’t want to mess up the coloring. I also curver my sentiment slightly to follow the curve of the banner (be sure to watch my video to learn how to do this).
The design of this card is very simple and whenever I make simple cards like this I use a few tricks to make my cards stand out. First, I like to use woodgrain cardstock for the front on my card. When there’s a lot of white space on the card this cardstock looks like a star and adds a lot to the card designs. Second, I added a bit of interactivity to this project by using wobble springs to attach the angels. You can use foam adhesive, but using mini wobblers allowed them to move on my card and added a bit of “wow” to the overall card design.
Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have a Pop-Up card for you guys, but this time it’s on the inside of the card. So it’s a little fun and unique for a Halloween Card! I’ll also be using the Storybook 1 Die along with a few other die sets and the new Trick or Treat Friends set for my card.
To begin, I stamped out my images, coloured them in with Copic Markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I then pulled the Storybook 1 Dies out and cut them out of a piece of white Cardstock. I then used the Stitched Notes Dies to die cut around the Storybook dies. While I was die cutting, I also cut the Picket Fence die from Black Cardstock. I then added foam tape onto the back of my Storybook frame and adhered it to the middle of a piece of purple plaid cardstock from Lawn Fawn.
Next up I used Twisted Citron, Wilted Violet and Carved Pumpkin to ink blend each of the three pieces that came from inside the Storybook die. I then splattered them with some water, picked up the excess and dried it with a heat tool. I then stamped ‘Hi!’ from the Everyday Greetings stamp set onto the orange piece and then adhered down all three pieces inside the Storybook die. I then used some of the images I has previously cut and coloured and adhered them onto the front of my card. Then the front panel was complete. Now it was time to work on the pop-up feature on the inside.
For the pop up panel on the inside I first cut a piece of watercolour paper down to 3″ by 5 1/2″. I used the Stitched Borders 1 dies to cut the top at a curved edge. I used Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink to colour the piece and then I scored it. On the long edge, I scored the piece at 2 3/4″ and on the short side I scored it at 2 3/4″ also. Then I folded the piece directly in half and cut a small triangle from the bottom to the centre score line, just so when I adhere and fold it into my card – it sits nice and flat.
I next added pieces of scor tape onto the flaps then pulled off the backers, lined up the score line on the pop up piece with the score line of the side folding card base, adhered down one side first, then folded the other side down with the flap facing up, then pressed the front of the card base down onto the flap. This ensures that everything will lay flat and work perfectly. Then I needed to work on my sentiment. I cut apart the ‘Happy Halloween’ sentiment from the Trick or Treat Friends set so it was in a line. I white heat embossed it on a strip of black cardstock that I cut each end at an angle on. Then I lined it up in my scoring tool and scored at the half way mark, which was 2 1/4″ for me. Then I flipped it over, added two small strips of acetate onto the back and then adhered it down onto my pop up grassy piece. This made the sentiment pop up as well as the hill piece.
To finish up, I adhered the rest of my images onto the inside of the card, then added coordinating colours of sequins to the front of my card.
Hi and welcome to Day 2 of the Altenew Crafty Friends Blog Hop! Pretty Pink Posh is a proud sponsor of this event! We’re celebrating our love of crafting and how it’s drawn us closer together. Crafty friends are the BEST!!! If you’re hopping along you should have reached us through Sandra Dietrich’s blog. If you’d like to start from the beginning you can get all the details and start here at Altenew’s Scrapbook Blog!
I love to give flowers to friends and family.. lots of times they are from my garden, and more often they are on cards that I send so they know I’m thinking of them. My crafty friends are like family, they are so dear to my heart. We have the same things in common – we always want to make each other smile.
Altenew is my favorite place for flowers! They’re well known for their multi stamp floral images, but more recently they have been releasing innovative stackable dies like these Fantasy Floral 3-d dies. The flowers are three separate dies that you cut from colored paper and stack. They look great light to dark or dark to light. Flowers on my design today are arranged both ways.
The Altenew Crafty Friends stamp set is a must have for cards for your crafty friends. The sentiments are a perfect way to celebrate your mutual love of friendship and crafting!
The perfect background for these gorgeous floral blooms is an ombre zig zag border from the Pretty Pink Posh Stacked Edges 1 die set. The individual strips make a lovely accent when a single strip is added, but when you cut several and stack them together the result is breath taking. The stitched detail adds a crisp, rich detail to your design that looks expensive but is so easy to achieve.
My second card features the Altenew Floral Fantasy stamp set. It’s got two gorgeous multi stamped roses and assorted greenery. The flowers look amazing in any of the Altenew Die Ink colors that come in several shades and are designed to be layered.
The background was created with the Pretty Pink Posh Stacked Edges 1 die set. This set is a real value because the set includes three dies that you can use individually or to create three background patterns.
Pink and yellow is my favorite floral combination. I stamped the leaves in different shades of greens to give a more natural look.
A few Pretty Pink Posh Clear Droplets give the flowers a fresh picked look.

I am excited to be joining you for today’s blog hop. Not only because I actually got to stamp (after a year of only testing stamps!) but also because I get to share how crafting/ blogging has been a tremendous source of therapy for me in the past.
If you are hopping along, you should have come from Yana Smakula’s blog. Goodness, I don’t know how I got put after her since she will blow me out of the water, but that’s the beauty of crafting, we all have different styles, strengths and gifts, right? If you get lost along the way, head over to Amanda’s blog for the complete listing of designers joining in the hop, along with the great prizes and the story behind this blog hop!
As many of you know, I was in a car accident that has changed my life. During that time, crafting and blogging became a source of therapy for me. It was therapeutic for me to have something I COULD do, something that made me feel like I had to get up for and something that I also enjoyed. It was during that time I began to visit new blogs, become friends with bloggers and also start blogging regularly again. Between crafting and sharing my story of the accident and different life lessons/ struggles I was battling, I found blogging to be a wonderful outlet for me. Granted, it is not for everyone; especially since there’s the chance of getting negative comments or mean things being said to/ about you. For me personally, this platform was what I needed to feel a connection to the outside world when I needed one, a way to feel “normal” and I have also made so many wonderful friendships from this crazy thing we call blogging.
No blog hop is complete without some prizes and Amanda has lined up some great ones! Be sure to leave a comment on each stop since she’ll be picking comments left on all the stops to win some of these great prizes below! Comments must be left on all the posts on this blog hop by 11:59pm EST on October 17th and will be announced on Amanda’s blog on October 19th.

Good morning! Heather here to share a fun Thanksgiving Card with you featuring a paper-pieced turkey and lots of lovely fall pattern papers – as well as heat embossing and a shaker element!
I have this thing for pattern paper – and fell in love with this beauty. It has a nice mix of large and small patterns, and I love that it is double sided. That way if I don’t care for one side of the paper I usually will be able to use the other side! The only problem is when you like BOTH sides…but then, at least there are two of each design, so that helps!
I started off by choosing some pattern papers (I used scraps from previous cards – perfect way to use them up!) and stamped the turkey from Happy Turkey on each of them, fussy cutting out the layers that I wanted. I started off by cutting the entire thing out in the red paper, then the black polka dots, only leaving off the 4 tail feathers, then the orange for the entire body, then the hello for just the head, and finally the beak and the “snood” (the little red part hanging off the beak – I had to Google what it was called!). Layering up the paper piecing this way makes it look more even and polished, and adds great dimension.
Next, I used both sizes of the Window Frames Dies to create the shaker. I taped them together and used them to die cut a panel of white cardstock. Added acetate to back the window, foam adhesive around it, and then filled it up with my Gold Mini Circle Confetti. Just before I filled and adhered it to my cardbase, I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment directly on the pattern paper in white.
Finished off by attaching the turkey on the front of the shaker, adding some Metallic Gold Confetti Mix to embellish, and tying some hemp twine around it.
Don’t you love all that sparkly gold? And isn’t that the cutest turkey you ever did see?!?!?!?
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!
Hi everyone! Lexa here today with a card for a Halloween Week. It’s October already, I believe many of you love these days of the year. It might be the season, the color scheme, or maybe the festive Halloween Day that you’d love. This super spooktacular set from Pretty Pink Posh will make your Halloween day even more fun.
I create my background with a loose watercolor technique using Distress Inks along with Tic Tac Toe Dies as if they are belong together. I did a little bit custom edges on every line by snipped them sharp just using scissors. I stamped all the images using Versafine Black and watercolor them with Distress Markers. The dress up kids look so cute, don’t you think so? I paired up the brand new Trick or Treat Friends Stamp with the older Halloween Friends Stamp. They make a perfect scene together. I finished the card with some pretty Mermaid Sequins Mix that’s so sparkling and fine. Here’s a closer look to my card…

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you liked today’s card. Have an amazing day!
I colored the stamped images with Copic Markers and then die cut with the Trick or Treat Friends Coordinating Dies. I die cut the largest pumpkin with the Stitched Foliage Dies from white cardstock and then colored with Copic Markers to highlight the stitching.
To create the background I cut a panel of watercolor paper. I used a blending tool and Distress Inks in Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot to blend the night sky. Then I splattered the paper with gold paint and attached sequins from the Metallic Gold Confetti Mix.
I used one of the border dies in the Stitched Borders 2 to cut a strip of grass and stamped a sentiment from the Trick or Treat Friends Stamp Set. The fence is die cut with the Picket Fence Die. I used foam tape to add the images to the card front to give dimension to the card.

Hi Pretty Pink Posh friends! This is Amy K. here today sharing some “old” Pretty Pink Posh products paired with some of the last release for the mid-week inspiration for Halloween theme week! It’s definitely Halloween at my house. One of my favorite holidays to celebrate……something about the colors, decor, and cute trick or treaters!
I started with the stitched chevron die from the new Stacked Edges 1 Die and die cut it out of dark purple, orange, and green cardstocks. I added each one on a top folding notecard until it was covered. Next, I went to work with the Storybook 2 Die and die cut it out of white and dark purple cardstock. I adhered all the pieces together by mounting them onto a smaller piece of scratch cardstock as this kept the panel flat because I knew I would be adding my cute Halloween elements with foam dimension. I white heat embossed the “trick or treat” sentiment from Halloween Friends onto the tall part of the Storybook 2 Die.
TIP: these dies are perfect for a starting point for “scene building”.
My cute images are from the Halloween Friends and Trick or Treat Friends stamp sets. They work so well together! I Copic colored all the images and die cut with the coordinating dies. I added most of my images with foam adhesive and as a final touch, adding some Amethyst sequins in both 6mm and 4mm.
