Ink Distressed Stitched Foliage Leaves

Hello, everyone! Amy Y.  here for Day 1 of our Thanksgiving Theme Week. Today, I’m sharing a die-cut inlay card that features the Stitched Foliage Dies.

To begin, I trimmed Bristol paper to an A2 sized panel. Using the Stitched Foliage Dies, I die-cut the panel as shown. I inked the cut out leaves using a blending tool and Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmon, Vintage Photo, Festive Berries, Barn Door and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks. I inked the panel with Antique Linen, and added splatters of Distress Inks (mixed with water) with the colors that I used on the leaves.

I stamped the sentiment “Giving Thanks” from the Giving Thanks stamp set with VersaFine Vintage Sepia Ink. Afterwards, I adhered the panel to a top folding card base and glued on the inked leaves. Then, I sprayed the panel with a gold shimmer mist to add shine and texture. I added few sequins from 4mm Autumn Harvest to finish the card.

Die-cut inlay cards are great for adding interest without dimension. This fairly flat card will only need one postage stamp for easy mailing. Thanks for stopping by!

November Product Release Blog Hop- Day 2

If you missed yesterday’s blog hop post, click here.

Hello everyone! It is Melody here sharing products from the new Pretty Pink Posh November release. Today I’m highlighting the Joy Shaker Die and a few of the new sequin mixes.

I started the card by cutting a piece of watercolor paper for my card front. Next I die cut the Joy Shaker Die from a gold foil and then again directly into the card front. This left a scalloped circle in the card front to form the shaker window.

Behind the window I added a piece of acetate and then inlayed the gold Joy sentiment directly into the card front. On the back of the card front I added foam to create the shaker.

I dropped three of the new mixes into the shaker, Evergreen Sparkle Mix, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads, and Sparkling Clear Snowflake Mix. Then I covered the back of the shaker with cardstock and attached the card front to the card base.

To finish off the card I die cut holly leaves and berries with the new Festive Holly Dies from watercolor paper, sponged on the color, and attached die cuts to left side of the shaker. The final touch is to attach a few Sparkling Clear Snowflakes. Lastly, stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Holiday Greetings stamp set.

November Product Release Blog Hop- Day 1

Hello there! It’s Marge here, one of the newer PPP social media designers. I hope you are enjoying our new November release.

Today I’m so excited to share my cards featuring Winter Woodland Stamp and coordinating dies set from our new November Release. The critters in this set are so adorable and they go very well with our previous release stamps sets such as Woodland Critters set. But today, I only used Winter Woodland sets.

To begin, I stamped Winter Woodland Stamp Set on a copic friendly cardstock, then colored them using copic markers, and then cut them using Winter Woodland Coordinating Dies. To make the snow on the log look dimensional, I applied snow marker on it, and added Diamond Stickles to it.

For the first card, I wanted to creat a warm winter scene, so I sponged a piece of A2-sized Bristol paper with some a peach colored dye ink and distress inks (Dried Marigold, Tattered Rose, and Squeezed Lemonade). I splatterd water onto it, and let it dry,

Then I cut another A2-sized panel using Window Frames Dies to make a round window frame.  To make a snowy hill, I picked out a wave-shaped die from our Stacked Edges 1 Dies, and cut a piece of white cardstock, then colored it using grey copic markers and Diamond Stickles on the top to give it some sparkling look.

To make a tag, I die cut Stitched Pieces Die from a red cardstock, stamped sentiment from our new Holiday Greetings Stamp Set, and tied a natural colored string.

After all the elements are done, I assembed them to build a whole card. First, I put the snowy hill onto the colored panel, adhered two mommy and baby critters, covered it with round window frame, and adhered a bough, rabbit and tag, all using foam tapes to give the card some dimensional look.

Finally I added our new Sparkling Clear Snowflake Sequins Mix, then put some 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins onto the background as well as Snowflake Sequins to make the snowflakes look prettier, and Metallic Gold Confetti Mix.
 

For my second card, I sponged a piece of A2-sized Bristol paper with distress inks (Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass, Twisted Citron, and Scattered Straw), splattered water onto it, and let it dry.

I then stamped small snowflakes, and heat embossed them using white embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment from Holiday Greetings Stamp Set, and also heat-set it using clear embossing powder. Then I adhered critters images here and there to make a warm winter scene. I adhered the panel onto a card base, and added some  Sparkling Clear Snowflake Sequins Mix and Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix as final embellishment.

Sneak Peek: Winter Woodland

Hello Pretty Pink Posh Friends! Suzy here and I’m so excited that the newest PPP release is being debuted this week and I’m especially excited that I get to show you the new Winter Woodland Stamp Set. It is such a cute winter set that is perfect for the holidays!

I have two cards to share with you today using this set combining it with some of the other new produts from this release. The stamp set has a matching Winter Woodland Coordinating Die set as well.

I started this card using the Stacked Edges 1 Dies to create snowbanks with white watercolor paper as the card base. I painted the top piece with a wash of light blue paint as a sky.

I stamped all of the cute animal images and branch with holly leaves with black ink on white cardstock and colored them in with Copic markers. I added some shading and details with a white gel pen and glitter pens. I attached them over the sky and on the snow bank.

Next, I used a salutation from the new Holiday Greetings Stamp Set. I stamped it on the left top corner of the card front using Versmark Ink and embossed it with red embossing powder. I finished the card with some of the new Sparkling Clear Snowflakes. I used white Tonic Nuvo Drops to attach them so they each have a white drop in the center.

I started this card with a stitched rectangle die-cut from watercolor paper. I wanted to do a single layer card, so I stamped the images directly on the front of the watercolor paper with black ink with a light tan ink. I painted the background in first with a gray blue watercolor for the sky and a green watercolor for the grass.

I painted the cute little woodland animals in with watercolors as well adding details with glitter pens. I painted the branch and extended it on the left side by about an inch. After they were all painted, I wanted them to have light outlines, so I drew around them with a fine tip black marker. This allowed me to outline that extra part of the branch and add borders around the grass.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on the top of the card with brown ink. I added some white Tonic Nuvo Drops over the snow on the log and red over the berries to make them dimensional. I also used a white gel pen on the center of each berry. Last, I added some more of the Sparkling Clear Snowflake Sequins around the background using white Nuvo Drops in the center of each.

I enjoyed using this stamp set so much that I made five cards with it! I’ll be blogging a “one stamp, five ways” showing the three additional cards later this week so come visit! Thanks so much for visiting the PPP blog today and have a great week friends!

Sneak Peek: Sparkle Dot Patterns 1

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!

Sneak Peek: Wild Rose

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!

Christmas Angel Action Wobble + Video

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.

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

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.

Finally, I embellished my project using the metallic gold confetti mix the Crystal Katana tool. Happy cardmaking!
