Tutorial: How to Make An Inlaid Shaker

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a video sharing how to make the peacocks feathers from the Peacock Friends into a mini shaker. This is quite a long process, but the end look is super fun!

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube
 

To begin, I stamped out my images from Peacock Friends and coloured them all in with Copic Markers. I then die cut them all out using the coordinating dies.

Copic Markers Used: YG01, YG03, YG07, YG09 / BG10, BG11, BG13, BG49 / B32, B24, B26, B39 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19

Once they’re all die cut out, I took the peacock image and used an exacto knife plus some detail cutting scissors to cut around each of the feathers. I made sure to leave the white border intact as well. Once I’ve cut around all the feathers, I made sure to keep the detail areas in case I needed them later.

Next, I took my Mini MISTI stamping tool, Staz On Ink and some acetate and stamped another of the same peacock image on it. I didn’t die cut this out, I left it on a larger piece of acetate until I needed to cut it down later. I added adhesive to the coloured peacock and adhered it over the acetate stamped one.

I then took another piece of white cardstock and cut the coordinating peacock die in the middle. I then added adhesive to the backs of the single feathers and adhered them at the top left and bottom right of my panel. I also stamped the ‘You Are Special’ sentiment onto the bottom of the card with black ink as well. I flipped over the panel, added adhesive around the die cut peacock and adhered the acetate piece into place. I cut off the excess and added foam tape all along the back.

I then pulled out some Navy Cardstock and cut it down to a card base. I then pulled some Mermaid Mix and Spring Meadow Mix Sequins since they matched the colours I used well and added them into the centre of the card base, took of the backers from the foam tape and adhered the panel into place.

That finished up my card for today, I hope you enjoyed, and I’ll see you next time

Tutorial: Heat Embossed Spring Card

Hi everyone it’s Ardyth and and I’m back with a pretty, spring card today on the Pretty Pink Posh blog and YouTube channel!

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

I used the Darling Dragonflies set. I love how cute these guys are with their happy smiley faces. I wanted a more elegant look, though, so after I stamped them, I filled in their heads and bodies using a Versamark marker before heat embossing them with a sparkly embossing glitter.

I added some ‘iridescent’ colour to the dragonflies’ wings with pale pink and blue Copic markers, flicked in each wing, close to the body. I created a lovely spring background with some simple ink blending – blue for the sky and spring green for the ground. And then I added some ‘grass’ by using the leaves from Crocus Flowers, pale grey ink and a green Copic marker.

I trimmed the panel with the stitched rectangle die from Stitched Notes and then I stamped the sentiment from Simple Sayings: Courage, using a grey ink, rather than black. I felt that black would be too harsh against my soft spring scene. I popped the panel up on a plain white card base.

As a finishing touch, I added a few Sparkling Clear Jewels.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed the card and video.

Watercolor Easter Eggs

Hello friends, Angelica here with a card showcasing the new Easter eggs stamp set and Easter Eggs coordinating die.

I stamped the eggs onto Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper with embossing ink. I then heat embossed using gold embossing powder. I used Zig Clean Color watercolor brushes to color the eggs. I pulled random colors and added color to the edges, then used a #4 round watercolor brush and clean water to move the color. I used the coordinating die to cut the eggs out when I was finished.

To assemble the card, I cut a panel of white card stock and blended Broken China Distress Oxide ink onto it. Then I splatter shimmer water onto the panel, let it sit for a few seconds, then dabbed the water up with a paper towel. While the panel was drying, I used the curved scallop die from the Scallop Borders Die Set to die cut plaid pattern paper and green card stock. I glued the papers together, and added a strip of foam adhesive to the backside bottom. I added thin adhesive squares to the backs of the eggs. I stamped and heat embossed Happy Easter on the panel after it was dry, then trimmed it to 4 x 5.25. I added it to an A2 size card base, then added the border and eggs. To finish the card, I trimmed the outside eggs to fit the card base.

Thanks for stopping by! We hope you were inspired by today’s post!

Hi, everyone! It’s Marge for you today and I’m so happy to share a card featuring the New Release products from Pretty Pink Posh.

I started by trimming a piece of heavy weight cold press watercolor paper into A2 size, and then I stamped beautiful Magnolia Flowers using Versafine onyx black ink. I water-colored my images using watercolor brush markers and watercolor paints. I also colored a butterfly from Beautiful Butterflies set and cut it using Beautiful Butterflies Coordinating Dies. Once I finished coloring, I splattered with white and dark ink all over the panel and let them dry. Then, I stamped a sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies set and adhered the butterfly close to flowers using Mini Glue Dots.

To decorate the butterfly, I added some jewels on the wings and body: Metallic Gold JewelsWatermelon Jewels, and Midnight Black Jewels. Next, I foam mounted the panel onto A2 sized card base and finished off my card by adding some Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix.

Peacock Friends

Hi there, Suzy here featuring some of the new March release. This Peacock Friends stamp set is just beautiful and I don’t think I’ve seen another peacock stamp set, so fairly original too! I used the two birds, but not the feathers on this card. I also used a set of leaves from the new Spring Wreath set.

I made the background with a SSS Tiny Dots stencil, Texture Paste, and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink – there are directions and details on this blog post about making backgrounds ahead of time (installment 3). I die-cut the bottom section using the Scallops Border 1 die. I used Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron with a Ranger Blending Tool on it.

I stamped the peacocks from the Peacock Friends stamp set using MFT Natural Ink on white cardstock. I colored them in with colored pencils (both Prismacolors and Polychromos). I colored them with one color and then added little lines of several other colors to mimic the look of feathers. I used a black fine tip marker for the eyes.

I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set with clear embossing ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I added some Mermaid Mix sequins around the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sneak Peek: March Die Cuts

Hello friends! Angelica here, and I’m so excited to share with you a few cards featuring new products from Pretty Pink Posh Mach Release. Today I am focusing on a couple new dies. Let’s get started!

How beautiful is this butterfly? The Bold Butterflies die set comes with two butterflies. I used the larger of the two to make this first set of cards. I added double-sided adhesive to the back of several colors of card stock, sticking to a pinkish-peach-coral theme. I die- cut all the colors with the butterfly. I also die-cut 4 dark pink butterflies with no adhesive on the back. I traced the butterfly onto two pieces of white card stock, then cut the shapes out a bit smaller than the traces. I glued the white shapes to the backs of the pink butterflies. Next I started filling in the wings with cuts from the other die-cuts. Putting adhesive on the backs of the yardstick before cutting made this process easy and clean.

After I finished filling in the wings, I used a shimmer pen to add sparkly to all the different colored card stock. I attached the top pink butterfly by gluing only the body, and then bent the wings slightly. I die-cut the butterfly two more times out of black glitter paper, and fussy cut the bodies away from the wings. I glued the black bodies onto the top. To assemble the card, I used the rectangle die from Stitched Notes die set to cut Neenah Desert Storm paper. I stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder a sentiment from the new Peacock Friends stamp set. I added the rectangle to craft foam, then attached the panel to an A2 card base. I glued the butterfly above the sentiment.

I made the second butterfly exactly the same for the second card. For the background, I blended a bit of Scattered Straw Distress Oxide ink onto white card stock to give the butterfly a nice glow. I stamped a sentiment from Birdie Friends with black ink, and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

My second card showcases the gorgeous Spring Frame die. This is the first large frame die with a design for Pretty Pink Posh. Isn’t it beautiful?

I die-cut this frame two times out of white card stock. Next I pulled out a rainbow of Copic Markers and started coloring. Once I finished coloring, I used my paper trimmer on the second die cut to trim off all the flowers and leaves and glued the frame onto the colored paper.

On light blue card stock I stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder a sentiment from Simple Sayings: Life stamp set. I then blended Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink around the edges. I glued the blue card stock to an A2 card base. I added foam adhesive all over the back of the colored frame, and attached it to the card base.

My final touch was adding a few Sparkling Clear Jewels around the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to check back tomorrow to buy the new release bundle and see the reveal of all the new products!

Sneak Peek: Spring Wreath

Hello, Gemma here with another sneak peek to share with you all. Today I have a card featuring the new Spring Wreath stamp set. This pretty wreath is so fun to colour and is large enough to be the perfect focal point on a card.

I began by stamping the wreath image with clear embossing ink, then heat embossing with pale gold metallic embossing powder. I coloured the wreath with my zig clean color real brush pens, choosing a fresh spring colour palette. I then die cut the wreath with the Spring Wreath coordinating die.

On my card base, I layered a panel of white woodgrain card, then added a 2” wide strip of patterned paper.

I stamped the greeting from the Spring Wreath set on the patterned paper, then adhered the die cut wreath to the card with foam tape. For a finishing touch, I adhered some confetti from the new Easter Mix around the sentiment.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this sneak peek at the new Spring Wreath. Visit us tomorrow for a look at the new die sets coming on March 4th!

Sneak Peek: Magnolia Flowers

Hello everyone, Mayra here today. I am super excited to share with you a sneak peek of the beautiful new Magnolia Flowers stamp set that releases on March 4th.

I began my card by coloring in the lovely magnolia images. I used Copic markers. There are so many beautiful variations you can use.

I chose to use RV000, RV52, RV63, RV66, and RV69. I added a bit of YR30 to the center of each one along with a bit of YG00, and YG03.

For the leaves, I used G99, G94, YG17, YG03, YG00, and YG0000.

Next, I used the coordinating dies to die cut the flowers. I then added Distress Oxide Inks to what would be the base of my card. I began with Tumbled Glass then blended in Peacock Feathers. I added a couple of white and black splatters using a bit of water and acrylic paint.

To finish the card I used the lovely new Thinking Of You Script die. I die cut the phrase four times, glued them together and then added them to my card.

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek of the beautiful Magnolia Flowers stamp set. Hope you will join us tomorrow for another sneak peek.

Sneak Peek: Easter Eggs

Hello everyone, Joni here sharing a sneak peak of what is coming your way for the upcoming release for the Pretty Pink Posh. I am showcasing the new Easter Eggs stamp set and Easter Eggs Dies. The butterfly is also from the new set Beautiful Butterflies and the leaves, flowers are from the new Spring Wreath.

To begin I first distressed my white card panel with Distress Oxide, then splattered it with water and gold watercolor paint from Gansai Tambi Starry Colors. The grass were drawn using my Copic Markers.

The sentiment “happy easter” is also from Easter Eggs stamp set. I heat embossed the sentiment with Paper Source Embossing Powder in Gold Glitter.

For interest I added some new confetti mix called Friendship Mix really loving that.

For this easter card I also used the new Spring Frame die, which allows you to showcase your images.

I die-cut the panel on a white cardstock keeping it simple, to make the eggs be the center stage.

Remember the oldie but goodie “Happy Easter” from Happy Easter Script Die still in love with this font. The flower on the egg is from the new Spring Wreath stamp and dies. For the card panel I also distressed it with Distress Oxide to give it a nice pastel blue color.

In this card I also added the new confetti mix called Easter Mix.

I hope you guys enjoyed! Join us tomorrow for a look at another new stamp set!
