Hello, Gemma here today to share a card featuring some fabulous June release products.
The new Geraniums stamp set has a lovely selection of different images, perfect for building floral clusters and scenes. I especially love the textured look of the leaves. For my card today, I coloured some images with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies.
Next, I die cut the new Hello Shaker die from gold glitter paper. I adhered this square die cut at an angle on my card base.
I placed the geranium leaves around the frame, adhering with liquid glue. I then used foam squares to add the flowers over the top. I love the look of gold and pink together. To finish my card, I added some of my favourite Pearl White jewels.

To make a shaker window, I diecut one of the inked panel usingMini Storybook 1 Dies, and simply cut out the inside bars to make a large rectangle window. I found that the cut out square from Mini Storybook 1 Dies perfectly matches with the Hello Shaker Die in size. (You could just use Hello Shaker Die only to make a window.) I adhered a piece of acetate film behind the window panel. I cut Hello Shaker DIe out of 110 Neenah White paper three times then glued them top on top to make a dimensional frame. Then I put the frame onto rectangle window I had created previously.
I heat embossed a sentiment from Everyday Greetings on black cardstock in white, then I cut it using Stitched Pieces Die. I rounded natural twine 3-4 times beneath the window, fixed it with adhesive, and then foam mounted the sentiment label onto it. Next I turned the panel upside down to fill the shaker.
Look at the beautiful mixture of sequins and seed beads just before I covered the shaker. I really love how they look together. Above all, I would strongly recommend to mix Pewter seed beads to your shaker since the neutral gray color of them balances the colors in the shaker beautifully. Finally, I covered the shaker with another inked panel then I adhered the shaker onto white card base.

I am a huge dog lover and have three beagles of my own. I did some simple copic coloring today and my goal was to color the images like my beagles. After I colored the images, I cut them with the coordinating dies.
The card front was created by ink blending distress oxide inks about ¾ of the way down, leaving the top white for contrast. I used Picked Raspberry , Cracked Pistachio, and Fossilized Amber. I finished off the blending with a microfiber towel, then used a Distress Sprayer to create splotches for added depth. I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors to create black paint splatters. Wait for your card front to dry before die cutting the shaker frame.
I used post it notes to hold the dies in place on the shaker fronts and then adhered acetate. I used one layer of foam tape to create the shaker well and filled the shaker well with my favorite shaker bits from Pretty Pink Posh:
After filling the shaker well, remove the backers on the foam tape and adhere a card front. Make sure to press down firmly so no shaker bits escape!
I stamped out sentiments from Happy Mail and Playful Puppies in Versafine. I used the Hugs Shaker die cut in white and adhered it to the acetate frame with glossy accents.
I had the inside pieces of the Window Frames die and Stitched Stars left over. I thought it would be cute to stamp “You make life fun” from the Simple Sayings: Life stamp set and use the die cut to decorate the inside of the card. I used a little red heart to embellish the remaining card.
Hello everyone, Eloise here and for today’s video I’ll be sharing another 3 Cards 1 Stamp set video, using the brand new School Friends stamp set. This set was perfect because it had a ton of images and also included 3 sentiments. I also tried to keep these cards quite simple, so I just used three small die sets; Scallop Frames, Stitched Duo 1 and Stitched Film Strip and then I also just pulled in a few colours of Distress Inks to make my backgrounds as well.
To begin my cards today, I first started off with stamping, colouring and die cutting all my images. I stamped pretty much two of everything and used a colour combo I found on Pinterest for my colour inspiration. Once they were all coloured and die cut, I could assemble my cards together.
For my first card today, I die cut two of the Stitched Film Strip from some white cardstock. Then I added foam tape to the backs and set them off to the side. For my background, I used Evergreen Bough, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio and ink blended a gradient onto some watercolour cardstock. I then flicked some water onto my background, picked it up with a paper towel and dried it off with a heat tool.
Next, I arranged all my images onto the base, figured out where I wanted the sentiment and stamped the ‘Hey There Smarty Pants’ into one of the gaps with black ink. I then adhered down my frames over top and adhered the images inside with foam tape as well and that finished off my first card.
For my second card, I pulled out the Scallop Frames and cut them twice out of some white cardstock. I then adhered some foam tape onto the backs of the frames. For my background I again went for a simple ink blended look. This time I used Lucky Clover, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron and repeated the same steps as before. I dried it off with a heat tool and adhered my frames at an angle into place.
I then took out a few images and arranged them into place as well. I adhered them down with flat adhesive. For my sentiment I used the ‘You’re An A+ In My Book’ sentiment with more black ink onto the background as well and that finished up my second card.
For my final card, I wanted to make a mini card; something that would be perfect to put into your kids lunchbox with a little note for their day, or what have you. So I took the Stitched Duo 1 and cut out two tag shapes; one from watercolour cardstock and one from plain white cardstock. I ink blended some Carved Pumpkin and Spiced Marmalade ink onto the bottom of the watercolour tag and then ran it through my Big Shot Machine with the geometric embossing folder from We R Memory Keepers. I then took the second tag, and scored the top edge with my scoring tool. I added adhesive onto the flap and adhered it to my coloured tag and that created my mini card base.
To finish up, I adhered down the remaining images with some foam tape onto the bottom and then for the sentiment, I white heat embossed the ‘Just A Note’ sentiment onto some black cardstock. I cut it down to a strip and adhered it on the right hand side of my card and that finished off the last card.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed and got inspired. I’ll catch you all next time.
Hi Crafters, Justine here and I’m back with you for another video tutorial this month! I hope you are loving the new release as much as I am! Today I wanted to create an elegant, yet easy card tutorial. You can use stamps and dies from this release or any of the fabulous Pretty Pink Posh stamps in your stash to try this out.
I started off by die cutting the Hello Shaker Die out in white cardstock. I grabbed some Himalayan Musk Embossing Powder by Wow and embossed the die cut three times. This creates a very thick, almost chipboard like embellishment. It’s a favourite technique of mine because you get a really smooth impression on the embossing powder.
I then stamped out a background using the Geraniums stamp set in black on a white card panel. To fill in the gaps, I used a little image from the School Friends set– it was the perfect filler stamp!
I glued the die cut to another die cut (off-center) in black cardstock to make it pop off the card. You could also challenge yourself to a more complex card by turning this die into a shaker card! If you enjoyed my video, be sure to check out my personal channel for weekly videos.
The June 2018 Release is now available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and select retailers that carry our products. If you missed our post yesterday, we revealed all of the products in picture form, but if you would like to see them in a video, Eloise has you covered!
Hello, Gemma here today to share a card featuring the adorable new Koala Friends set. On this card, I’ve teamed this new release set with some previously released PPP products.
I began by die cutting the Storybook 1 die from white card. I adhered the frame onto a kraft card base. On the frame pieces, I added a blend of distress oxide inks in the colours Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, and Candied Apple. I love the warm sunset look this gives to the card.
I found the perfect sentiment for my card in the Encouraging Greetings set, stamping it with versafine onyx black ink onto one of the frame pieces. Then I added the koala and the leaves to the card, using foam tape to pop some of the images up for dimension.
To finish my card, I chose some of the gorgeous Metallic Rose Gold jewels, which look beautiful on the sunset background.
Enjoy browsing the Pretty Pink Posh Shop full of the new products. There will be more inspiration with the new release and next week, we’ll have a two day blog hop filled with even more inspiration!

Hello, Gemma here sharing about the fabulous new release arriving on June 7th. I paired the fun Love You Script with the Darling Dragonflies. This has to be one of my favourite sets and an absolute must have!
For my card today, I began by die cutting a stitched rectangle from light blue card, using the Stitched Notes die set. I stamped the reed images in a light blue ink at the bottom of the panel. I then added a slight blend of the same colour to add some constrast to the panel, before adhering it to a white card base.
I die cut the new Love You Script die from blue glitter paper, adding it to the panel in the center.
Next, I stamped some dragonflies, then coloured them with copic markers. I die cut the, with the Darling Dragonfliescoordinating dies, and added some Wink of Stella clear glitter to the wings. I then adhered them to the card with foam tape for the larger ones, and the smaller one with liquid glue.

Hi crafty friend, Crystal here today sharing a sneak peeks of the June Release! I have the honor of creating with the stamp set called Geraniums. You will absolutely fall in love with this newest floral stamp set from PPP.
For today’s post I have created a sweet and delicate floral card that is perfect for any occasion.
To make this card, I stamped and heat embossed the Geraniums and leaves with gold embossing powder. I did not mask any of it, just stamped the flowers in a round pattern.
Next, I colored each petal of the Geraniums with Copic numbers. I used RV17 for my darkest shade and RV10 for my lightest shade. The leaves were colored with YG13 (lightest) and YG17 darkest shade. You will notice, I am only using two markers, for that medium shade I do a “kissing” technique where the lightest marker tip kisses the darkest. Then feathering up from the dark to light on the actual petal or leaf.
Once my Geranium was colored, I moved on to shade the edges of the entire floral bundle. Using Distress Ink in Antique Linen, I blended starting at the edge of the petal and moving down careful not to color the interior of the petal.
Now onto that gorgeous sentiment! For this I used theLovely Script die released in May! Ran that die through my gemini on a piece of gold foil cardstock. I then trimmed tiny pieces of foam adhesive and added those to the die.
Hello everyone, Joni here sharing a sneak for the new upcoming June 2018 release. The cute Koala Friends stamp set and Koala Friends die set are a must have.
To begin my card I first stamped and die-cut my pieces. Then colored them with Copic Markers.
Next, I distressed my card panel with Distress Oxide and then splattered them with water. I also used the stitched scallop from Stitched Borders 2.
Then, I also stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set Koala Friends using Platinum embossing powder after distressing a white piece of cardstock. Then, I die-cut the piece withStitched Borders 1.
To finish the card I adhered everything with foam tape for added interest. I then finish the card by added Ivory Jewels.
For my second card, I used the new Hello Shaker die to coordinate with the Koala Friends.
To start my second card, I distressed a white cardstock also using Distress Oxide inks and splattered with water.
Then, I die-cut the Hello Shaker 3 times and adhere with glue on top of the other for a thick look.
I also added the strip of black and white strip of paper and I also added some Ivory Jewels to finish off the card.
Thank you so much for visiting! Stay tuned for more sneak peeks in the next few days!
