I wanted to create a background using the flower images, and add some dimension with layers.
Two of the flowers in the set work really well layered, so I began by stamping and gold heat embossing the larger of the flowers, along with the leaves. I set the stamps up in a cluster on one stamp block, making it quicker to stamp the background.
On a seperate piece of card, I stamped and gold heat embossed lots of the smaller cherry blossom flower, then die cut them with the coordinating die. I chose two colours of Zig clean colour real brush markers – 071 flesh colour and 026 light pink – and coloured in all the smaller die cut flowers. I love how these markers blend so easily without water.
Next, I adhered the embossed panel to a card base, and rounded two opposite corners with a 1/2 inch corner chomper.
I added the die cut flowers to the card base with foam tape, over the top of the larger flowers.
I chose a sentiment from the Everyday Sentiment stamp set, stamping on to white card then trimming down into a flag banner. To help it show up on the card, I added a black card banner underneath, slightly larger so it shows at the edges. I finished the card with some sparkling clear sequins.
Hello Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I am sharing video tutorial showing how to create a colorful birthday card for a girl using the Birthday Friend stamps.
Pretty Pink Posh has many other stamp sets from the Friends series and many of them can be used to create a card like this. The characters within these sets maintain their size so you can easily combine friends from different sets to tell a story on your cards.
I picked pinks and yellows for this project as primary colors and made it into a birthday card for a girl, by using greens and blues you can easily change it up and make into a birthday card for a boy.
The colors I picked were somewhat influenced by the set of sequins I was planning to use to embellish my card – the Party Time sequin mix. There are yellow, pink and blue sequins in this set; I wanted to color the elements on this card in colors that would match these sequins. It might seem a bit odd – trying to match the coloring to the color of sequins, but I often use this trick when I want to make sure everything will match. Its very easy to pick the right colors that would coordinate or resemble the colors of my sequins and not vice versa. Plus the sequin mixes already have the colors that work quite well together, so why not use that to our advantage?
I started working on my card by stamping nearly all of the images from this stamp set in Copic Marker friendly ink onto white cardstock panel. The only image I didn’t stamp was the little candle. I colored my images using Copic markers. I used:
RV14, RV13, RV11 to color pink
Y19, Y15, Y11 to color yellow
B02, B00, B000 to color blue
E00, E000, E11, E13, E33 to color skin and hair
I cut my images out using the coordinating dies and also die-cut identical shapes out of sticky fun foam – I often prefer to use a solid fun foam shape to foam adhesive squares. This adds a lot of stability to my foam mounted elements and prevents sagging.
Next, I white heat embossed the birthday sentiment onto a gray cardstock panel, foam mounted it in the center of a 4 ¼ x 5 ½” white panel and added my colored elements around it. In a way it looks like there’s a Birthday party going on on this card and the friends are dancing and having lots of fun!
Finally, I embellished my card using the sequins I used for my color combo inspiration – I added a lot of sequins in various sizes filling in the gaps in between the images. I also coated some elements using a shimmer pen.
I hope you enjoyed today’s post and video. Happy cardmaking!
Today’s card video tutorial shows off how to colour your stamps without fancy crayons or markers! It’s Justine again, taking over the Pretty Pink Posh blog! I’m excited to be here with you again bringing you another video tutorial! Today I am using some of the fun new release stamps Cherry Blossoms and Encouraging Greetings! I am generally quite intimidated by colouring, so I always love to figure out ways to colour without needing a lot of colouring skills!
I hope you enjoyed the video tutorial and it helped explain how to make this fun card. If you enjoyed today’s video, feel free to check out my YouTube Channel. See you in April!
Good morning! Heather here this morning to share another Something Old, Something New card with you – the idea is to mix together both older and newer Pretty Pink Posh products – and to show you how AMAZINGLY well all of Pretty Pink Posh’s products work together! Today’s card is definitely not one to tackle unless you have a bit of spare time – but the results are SOOO worth the effort! Check out that SPARKLE!
So I started off by stamping the bottom border from Sparkle Dot Patterns 2 Stamp set on a panel of white cardstock repeatedly with soft gray ink. I did this so that once I finished the card, if I used a jewel too small to cover the dot, or misplaced it slightly, you wouldn’t see a black circle peeking out. It was also helpful for the Clear Droplets I added, since you can’t see it under there either.
Then was the slowest part! I add alternating rows of Aquamarine, Lemon Drop, and Watermelon Jewels. I filled in the centers of the pattern with 4mm Clear Droplets. I used alternating sizes of the jewels – mostly so I didn’t have to sort through for one size, or run out! My jewel picker was very helpful with placement. There are lots of options for adhesive – for this I used tiny dots of Glossy Accents. It was nice and sturdy to hold everything in place, and I like that since it dries glossy, it just adds to the look of the Clear Droplets.
Next up, I die cut a large Scallop Frame from aqua cardstock, then stamped and heat embossed my image fromEaster Blessings in the negative die cit so as not to waste anything!
I colored the image with Chameleon Colored Pencils, then die cut with the coordinating Easter Blessings Dies. I also die cut the Easter from Happy Easter Script Die twice – once from pale yellow, and once from white to adhere together with a glue pen for a bit of a more sturdy and dimensional sentiment.
These jewels are SOOO beautiful! They are super sparkly and fun in real life – kind of hard to fully capture in a photo.
I definitely think this is the longest I’ve spent on one single card in a while! I almost feel like I should frame it and use it as a decoration – haha!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!
Hi friends, Eloise here today to share a Easter themed card to share with you all. I’ll be using the brand new Bunny Friends set and Happy Easter Shaker Die to help create my window card today.
To begin my card today I first stamped my images out from the Bunny Friends stamp set onto some Neenah Solar White cardstock using black ink. I then used my Copic Markers to colour in my images using a spring colour palette. Once I finished colouring in my images, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I then set them off to side and worked on my main focal point. I first used the Stitched Notes Dies and cut out the large stitched rectangle from some Watercolour Cardstock and then used the Happy Easter Shaker die and cut the die out of the center of the cardstock. Once I had it cut out of my front panel, I laid the rectangle with the die cut egg over the top of a folded card base, adhered it down into the centre where I eventually want to adhere it and then laid over the egg die cut again, fit it into place where it fits perfectly, opened the card base up and ran it through my big shot machine again. Now I have all my layers to create my window card.
Next up, I cut a piece of acetate and adhered it down on top of my card base. Once I adhered this down, I realised I needed to ink blend on my card base, so I left the acetate on and also adhered my shaker die on top with some washi tape, then just ink blended some Twisted Citron Distress Ink over the top fading up to white like normal. Once that was ink blended on, I worked on my positive Happy Easter Shaker piece. I used an exacto knife and cut out the ‘Happy Easter’ wording and also the flowers and leaves at the bottom. This then leaves me the perfect frame. I then added adhesive onto the back and adhered it into place directly on my card base. I added foam tape onto the back of my rectangle piece, lined it up with the egg shape on the card base and adhered it down.
Now that my card base was ready on the outside, it was time to do the inside. I took some post it tape, cut it down to a hill shape and adhered the negative piece onto the inside of my card base. I then ink blended some Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress ink blending down into white, reversed the masks and did the same thing with the sky, only using Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean and blending, fading up to white. Now my background for my scene was ready, I could begin adhering. I added pop dots onto the back of my bunnies and adhered them down into place, making sure you could see all three from the front of the card. One they were adhered down I also adhered my flowers next to them using flat adhesive.
To finish up my card, I added some extra flowers from Bunny Friends onto the flowers on the die cut shaker piece and I coloured those in with coordinating colours I used earlier, then adhered them on with foam squares. Then, I also used the same greens as I did for all the leaves before and coloured in the remaining leaves. This would definitely be easier to do before I adhered it to the acetate, but for me it was an afterthought. Lastly, I replaced my front rectangle panel with another piece that I used some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink on, to replicate the card base I coloured as well. I decided this card didn’t need a sentiment also, so I left it sentiment-less and I feel like it worked perfectly with the design of card. But again, you could add one if you feel like you wanted too.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed and got inspired to create a window card. I love these designs so much especially for a card like this where you wouldn’t always need to write a long message. It works so nicely! Anyway, thank you again and I’ll catch you all next time!
Hello Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I am sharing video tutorial showing how to make fun and colorful Spring cards featuring Bunny Friends stamp set.
I started working on all of my cards by stamping a number of bunnies on to Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock in alcohol friendly ink. I stamped several panels with a bunch of bunnies and later also stamped additional images from this set – beautiful flowers. I didn’t know how many images I would need for my projects, but I wanted to make sure to have plenty on hand when I was creating. I ended up having too many, so I saved them for future projects.
Watch my video tutorial below to learn how I made this card.
One of the elements I loved the most in the Bunny Friends set is the cracked easter egg. I played a bit and cut it out – I wanted to customize my bunnies and have other bunnies sitting in the egg shell, not just the one bunny.
The most awesome part about these eggshells – is when put together they form a one full egg! Isn’t that cool? And seeing how you can kind of extract just the egg you can have any kind of critter sitting in there as long as the size of the critter works with the size of the egg. Pretty Pink Posh has a ton of cute little critters that would fit in there. I always love to stretch my stamps and with this particular Bunny Friends stamp set it was one of the ways to do it.
I did some simple and basic Copic coloring to color my images. At first I used W5, W3 and W1 markers to color bunnies, but later I completely skipped using the W5 and for some bunnies even the W3 markers and kept my bunnies almost white. There are many different ways these bunnies can be colored, be sure to check Pretty Pink Posh blog for more inspiration.
Card Idea #1
For my card idea #1 I colored and cut out a bunch of critters, I think I have every bunny from the stamp set cut out here, and some bunnies I cut out twice. I used my stamp positioner tool and stamped the Happy Spring sentiment in the center of my panel. Next I trimmed my panel to be 4 x 5 1/4″ as I wanted to foam mount it onto an A2 size card base and I foam mounted my bunnies around the sentiment.
You’ll notice that I added white polka dots to the purple egg bunny – I just used my white gelly roll pen and added little details to spice this image up. You can customise these egg shells however you like really, or they can be left as is – it’s all up to you.
Once I had all of my bunnies in place I used the new Watermelon Jewels and I embellished my card. I really loved these little jewels – they come is several sizes and the smallest is smaller than the 3mm sequin and sometimes I do want to add that one tiny embellishment to my card so these worked really well for me and I know I’ll be reaching for them often.
Card Idea #2
My card #2 features negative die cutting. I used a 4 x 5 1/2″ white cardstock panel and die-cut 3 bunny shapes in the panel – I taped my dies in place and run this panel through my die cutting machine. I set the die cut shapes aside and kept just the panel with the negative openings.
At the same time I also die-cut same stamped bunnies out to place inside the openings. I used my Copics once again and did some quick coloring in the same way I mentioned before.
I also die-cut more egg shells to place each of those bunnies in the shell – I had one yellow, pink, and blue. I also wanted to add some flowers to this card, I stamped a bunch of images from this same Bunny Friends stamp set, I did the same thing – I cut them out and colored with Copic markers using the same colors as before to make sure my colors would go well together.
I also stamped a sentiment directly onto my panel and I went with You Make Me Smile from the new Encouraging Greetings stamp set. I also decided to stamp grass next to each bunny – I used a little grass image from the Camping Friends stamp set. This is what I love Pretty Pink Posh stamps for – they all go so well together and images can be used to tell an endless story. With each new set you get more and more options to create scenes and tell different stories on your cards.
Once my stamping was done I foam mounted my panel onto an A2 card base. You want to be sure to complete all of your stamping prior to foam mounting the panel as it will be very hard to add any additional stamping to this panel later if you use foam squares.
I used regular adhesive to adhere the bunnies, I inlaid them, but because the main panel is popped up, the bunnies are recessed on this card. And once that was done I foam mounted the egg shells over the bunnies and over the panel so I used double layer of foam adhesive there. I also added my little colored and die cut flowers next to each bunny and I think that the flowers really helped this card come to life. This card ended up being my favorite from all of the cards I’m sharing in this video. Once again I used new jewels to embellish it and add a bit of sparkle.
Card Idea #3
My next card is very simple and it is a fun Friendship card. I stamped Friends Make Everything Better sentiment in black into a white cardstock panel cut to 3 1/2 x 4 3/4″ .
Next I added one of bunnies – I picked one that isn’t holding anything and I added some flowers and die cut greenery to him. I used a solid layer of fun foam and double sided tape to foam mount the panel onto an A2 card base, I foam mounted my bunny and flowers and decided I wanted to stamp the grass on this card as well to help ground my little scene.
Because I had a solid layer of fun foam and not individual foam squares attaching my panel onto the card I was safe to do my stamping here. So I stamped the grass and used the Pink Blush Jewels to embellish this card.
Card Idea #4
Moving on to card #4 – I wasn’t planning on making this many cards at once, but I had a bunch of cute bunnies on my desk, so I couldn’t resist. I white heat embossed Sending You Smiles Across the Miles in white embossing powder and foam mounted two of the bunnies onto the card. I used one with the carrot and added an egg shell to the other bunny.
To hide the bunny’s ear under the shell I actually cut it partially off as I wanted to have the shell a bit closer to his head. This time I used glue to adhere the shell and skipped adding another layer of foam adhesive. Of course I used jewels to embellish this card.
Card Idea #5
For my last project for today I did some more negative die cutting, but this time I die cut identical shape in a layer of fun foam to foam mount my panel in place. I heat embossed a sentiment onto the panel and it warped slightly from the heat, so the solid fun foam layer served a double purple here – it popped the panel up and it helped to keep it flat and eliminated the warping.
I adhered a cute bunny with a carrot inside the opening – I think this little bunny is my favorite from this set and I also added an egg shell along with two die cut grass pieces. I didn’t stamp the grass onto the panel this time, but added it as a die-cut element as the panel was pink and I wouldn’t have been able to color it the light green with Copic Markers that I did on white cardstock.
I also used a white gel pen and added large white polka dots onto the egg shell to make it eggstaspecial.
Next, I cut white cardstock using the Happy Easter Shaker, then I cut the inner scripts out of it to make an egg shaped floral frame for bunnies. The frame was colored lightly with Tattered Rose and Twisted Citron.
I stamped a sentiment from the Easter Friends set on the upper left corner of the panel, foam mounted egg frame on the center using double sided square foam adhesives, then adhered cute images inside and around the frame.
Hi there, Liz here! Spring is here and with Easter around the corner, I’m still having fun using the new Bunny Friends stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh. I love it and it’s so much fun to play with it and create different scenes.
For this card, I started off by first creating the grass using the Scallop Borders 1 dies and used ink to color them (Jellybean – SSS and Mowed Lawn – distress) and put it aside as I wanted to create some clouds in the background.
I used the Stitched Borders 2(still one of my favorites) to create scallop clouds in the background. To get the blue shadow outline underneath the clouds, I basically die cut two borders and added Salty Ocean Distress Oxide to color them before putting them together. Repeated this again for the upper cloud and sky.
To give this card some dimension, I added foam mount underneath the top cloud panel before adding my scene. From there, I added the Picket Fence using white card stock along with the grass that I had put aside earlier. Next, I added these cute bunnies and flowers which I colored using my copic markers and decided to add a couple more little easter eggs from the Easter Friends set.
As the final touch, I decided to add some kites to the scene using the Fly A Kite set before adding some jewels in: Pink Blush, Aquamarine, and Pansy Purple to add some sparkles.
I hope you enjoyed this fun Easter card. Stop by tomorrow for the last day of the Easter Theme Week!
Hi Pretty Pink Posh Friends! Shannon joining you today with another creation for Easter theme week! For my card today I used the adorable new Bunny Friends stamp set. I’m seriously in love with the different little bunnies in this set! I also used some of the new dies!
I started with an A2 size piece of white cardstock and used one of the dies from the Decorative Eggs die set to create egg shaped openings for my bunnies to hang out in. I ran it through my die cutting machine 3 separate times but you could easily use 3 of the dies at the same time to achieve this as your just using the negative area.
I then used this panel as a guide on a white card base to figure out where to put my color. I laid it on top and made light pencil marks to give me a rough idea where to ink blend my colors so it would be behind my eggs. I then adhered this panel on top.
I stamped my sweet little bunnies and smaller images on separate white card stock, colored in using Copic markers and cut out using the coordinating dies, and adhered them over my colorful eggs.
For my sentiment, I wanted something a little bit colorful so I decided to cut off the easter sentiment from the Easter Egg Shaker die that I die cut from water color paper and used Zig real brush markers to lay a bunch of colors down and then used my water brush to blend the colors in a bit better.
Hello friends, Thi here! I’m so excited to share with you my card for Pretty Pink Posh’s Easter theme week. I had a lot of fun mixing two of my favorite Easter stamp sets, Easter Friends and the new Bunny Friends from the March release.
Let’s get to it! To start, I ink blended my background with Distress Ink in Abandon Coral and Antique Linen onto an A2 size piece of Bristol smooth cardstock. I splashed some water and lifted it up to get those water droplets then I took more Abandon Coral and mixed it with some water and splattered the ink with a paintbrush. I left this to dry and moved on some coloring and die cutting.
I colored images from both stamp sets, particularly a lot of eggs from the Easter Friends stamp set. My plan was to make an Easter egg hunt scene. After I colored all my images, I started die cutting them all as well as other pieces I needed for my scene.
First, I die cut a white picket fence using the Picket Fence Die. I decided I need two pieces of grass to create a fun dimensional Easter egg lawn. I die cut a taller piece of grass out of green cardstock using a die from the Scallop Border 1 Dies. I then cut a shorter piece using the Stitched Borders 2 die. The idea was to create a lawn where eggs may be laying out during an Easter egg hunt!
Once the background that I created earlier was completely dry, I heat embossed the Happy Easter sentiment with white embossing powder.
Tip: Make sure it’s completely dry before doing this otherwise you will have embossing powder stuck everywhere!
Finally! My favorite part: assembly time. I glued my white picket fence on with Ranger Multi Media Matte glue. I then adhered the bigger green grass piece on top of it. I popped up the shorter grass piece with foam tape. Then I decided to put foam tape on my three little friends so they stood out in the scene. Then I took a tape runner and stuck eggs everywhere! The entire piece was adhered to an A2 card base.
I love this card and I hope you do too! Thanks for stopping by!
I wanted to create a background using the flower images, and add some dimension with layers.
Next, I adhered the embossed panel to a card base, and rounded two opposite corners with a 1/2 inch corner chomper.
You’ll notice that I added white polka dots to the purple egg bunny – I just used my white gelly roll pen and added little details to spice this image up. You can customise these egg shells however you like really, or they can be left as is – it’s all up to you.
Once I had all of my bunnies in place I used the new 
At the same time I also die-cut same stamped bunnies out to place inside the openings. I used my Copics once again and did some quick coloring in the same way I mentioned before.
I also die-cut more egg shells to place each of those bunnies in the shell – I had one yellow, pink, and blue. I also wanted to add some flowers to this card, I stamped a bunch of images from this same Bunny Friends stamp set, I did the same thing – I cut them out and colored with Copic markers using the same colors as before to make sure my colors would go well together.
