Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here this morning – to show off some of the gorgeous new product coming very soon! I used the adorable new 3 x 4 Bear Hugs set and coordinating dies, as well as a new stand alone die, and one of the fun new sequin mixes!
I wanted to create a shaker card, but decided to try to make it a little more interested. I die cut the gorgeous new Stitched Diamond Dies(without cutting them apart!) from white cardstock and out of the center of a panel of white cardstock. I decided to inlay one of the smaller diamonds inside – and to make it a little more fun, I stamped one of the tiny sentiments from Bear Hugs around the edges. As you can see, it was the perfect size!
Next I stamped and colored the bear and banner with Zig Watercolor markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. I used two layers of foam adhesive for my shaker to give it lots of room to move, then filled it with the gorgeous new Mermaid Mix(which even has 4mm Clear Droplets in it! So fun!). Finished off by adhering the bear and banner to the front!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you are having a wonderful day!!!
Hello Pretty Pink Posh friends! Suzy here today introducing one of the brand new stamp and dies sets called Fly A Kite. I also am showing off the new sequin mix called Sunny Days and one of the new die sets called Stitched Diamonds. I have two cards to share with you today.
I made this shaker card using the two smaller diamonds from the stand alone die-set called Stitched Diamonds as the window openings. I filled them both with the new Sunny Day sequin mix.
I stamped the darling images from the Fly A Kite stamp set on white cardstock with a light color of ink and colored them in with Copic Markers for a no-line coloring look. I added outlines and details with glitter pens and a white gel pen. I attached the sun, clouds and kit over the top diamond opening on my card.
I also added the little boy from the new Summer Friends stamp set so he could hold the kite string. I stamped the sentiment from the Fly A Kite stamp set on the bottom of the card and embossed it with blue embossing powder. I added three sequins from the Sunny Day sequin mix to finish the card.
I used the Fly A Kite stamp set to create a random stamped background for this card. I started with a piece of watercolor paper and I stamped all of the images with a light color ink for a no-line stamping look. Next, I watercolored them all in with watercolors.
After I painted the background blue, I outlined all of the images with glitter pens and filled in some areas with a white gel pen to make them stand out more. I then stamped the sentiment from the Fly A Kite stamp set on a stitched rectangle from the Mini Storybook 1 die set and yellow cardstock. I embossed it with white embossing powder. I added some more of the Sunny Day Sequin mix around the sentiment.
I hope you enjoyed my two cards today using the Fly A Kite stamp and Fly A Kite die set. There are so many possibilities to use this set for with the large cloud and sun images and all those cute kite designs! See you back soon for some more of the new Pretty Pink Posh release!
Hello everyone, Yoonsun here sharing the upcoming 4 x 6 stamp set called Summer Friends that will be available on July 10th.
I started by stamping sandcastle, beach ball, bucket from the Summer Friends set on watercolor paper in black pigment ink. I then watercolored them with Distress markers, die cut them with the matching dies. For the beach scene, I created clouds using the Stitched Borders 2 dies(I used the scallop border die as a stencil), sandy beach using Distress markers, then trimmed the paper down using stitched rectangle panel die in the Stitched Notes die set. For the sentiment, I used the Summer Friends and the Camping Friends stamp sets. I mounted the background panel on pale blue card base using double-sided tape first, and then added images on it using foam tape. For my second card, I stamped all images from the Summer Friends set on watercolor paper in pigment black ink, then colored them with Distress markers. Once the panel was completely dry, I die cut it with an A2 sized rectangle panel die. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it on blue card stock in white, then cut the small banner. I mounted the watercolored panel on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the sentiment banner on the bottom right corner of the card front using foam tape.
I hope you enjoyed this preview of some of the new products. Join us tomorrow for a look at another one of the new sets!
Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have another 3 cards 1 stamp set video for you all. It was a big hit last time and people seemed to really enjoy it so I thought I would do another one using the Woodland Critters stamp set which definitely seemed to be a favourite from the May release!
To begin my cards today I first stamped and coloured in all my images in with Copic Markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
To begin my first card I pulled out the Stitched Borders 1 dies and used the curved stitched border to cut out two sections of my white cardstock panel. I only needed the top and bottom of my panel left so the middle section could be open for colour and my scene. I then took another piece of cardstock and blended some Broken China and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Inks onto the background, to make sky and land. Once I blended on my colour I sprinkled over some water and heat set it with my heat tool.
I then added adhesive to the back of the inked panel and adhered it down to a scrap piece of paper cut to the same size as my final panel. I then added foam tape onto the back of my white panel piece and adhered it to the same scrap paper piece leaving the opening for the colour to show through. I then added adhesive onto the back of my critters that I was using and added them into the scene. I stamped the ‘Friends Forever’ sentiment from the set with some black ink onto the top right hand side of my panel and finally adhered my panel to a kraft card base.
For my second card I pulled the Storybook 1 die to use as the focal point on my card. I then took the same Stitched Borders 1 dies and used the same curved die to cut a piece of green cardstock. Once my piece was cut I also grabbed some blue cardstock and cut it down to size. I used some Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and ink blended a little on the top of the green cardstock piece to give it some shading and used Broken China Distress Ink to ink the blue piece the same way. This is a way to give a little extra to your flat colours of cardstock. I then die cut the Storybook die from some white cardstock.
I then adhered together my background and hill piece and then adhered down the Storybook frame onto my panel. I used foam tape and flat adhesive to adhere down all the critters I chose to use also. I then stamped the ‘You Are Wonderful’ sentiment onto the bottom of the panel and finally adhered the piece to a white card base.
For my final card I used the Scallop Circle Tags dies to cut a white tag. I then used a circle die to also cut out an additional two circles to fit inside my tag. I cut one circle down to a small hill and coloured that using Mowed Lawn and then used Broken China for the full circle. I adhered the two together and then used foam tape to adhered the coloured circles to my tag. I arranged a small scene using a few of the critters that were left onto the circle and adhered them down into place. For my background of my card I used some plaid paper from Lawn Fawn and adhered it down to a white card base. Then to make the tag feel like it fit with the card I poked a hole through the top centre of the card and also cut a slit in the fold of the card so I could thread some hemp cord through and tie it in a bow, anchoring the tag to the card.
I added some adhesive to the back of the tag so it would sit in place instead of moving around and then for the sentiment I white heat embossed the ‘Friends Forever’ sentiment onto some black cardstock, heat set it, trimmed it down and foam mounted it onto the bottom right hand side of the card.
To completely finish off all the cards, I pulled some Sparkling Clear Sequins out of my stash and scattered them around each of my cards to pull them altogether.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed the three cards I made today. I always have a lot of fun making these videos as I love to create multiple cards especially when you have most of the supplies out already. They’re all quite simple cards, but have a similar vibe I feel.
Anyway, thanks again, I hope you got inspired and I’ll catch you all next time!
Tomorrow sneak peeks officially start here on the blog for our July 10th release!
In my effort to get some more room on the shelves for the new products and pass some holiday savings to you, I thought a sale was in order. Our sales don’t happen too often so be sure to take advantage of it- items will go FAST!
Please note that whenever I have a sale, there is a huge influx of orders, so processing takes longer than usual. I package each item by hand and appreciate your patience and understanding.
Good morning! Heather here to share a tutorial on these two cards on which I attempted to create a background for my card similar to a Batik fabric (if you have no idea what that is, click HERE or HERE to see a couple examples, or do a quick search on Pinterest!) The two different methods I tried gave me two slightly different results – one a bolder look, and one a softer effect. I can’t decide which one I like better!
I started off by picking two shades of distress ink, and applying it to my backgrounds – first the lighter shade, then the darker. I purposely went fairly random in my patterns going for an “imperfect” look intentionally.
Next, I added some flicks of water to react with the distress ink for more texture. At this point I heat set the entire panel. IMPORTANT: You want it to be NICE and dry after this step – so either give it lots of time to dry or zap it good with a heat gun!
Now to add the leaf images to the background. I picked several of the solid images from the new Build a Bloom stamp set – including some of the single little leaves to fill in the holes. The softer one on the right I stamped with Clear Embossing ink and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. The bolder one on the left I stamped with both shades of the same distress ink I used on the background, deliberately layering and overlapping the leaves on that one. I then quickly sprinkled on some embossing powder on that one so it stuck to the newly stamped leaves. The distress ink stays wet long enough to do that if you work quickly. THIS is why you wanted those backgrounds thoroughly dry so that the embossing powder doesn’t stick anywhere that you don’t want it too!
Finally, I applied some more distress ink to the softer colored one – the way the colors overlap it gives two tones of color the the card exactly like I was hoping! On the darker bolder card, I applied a little white pigment ink on some spots to add some more texture and color variation.
Next I built the sentiment portion using the gorgeous new sentiment kit, Thoughtful Greetings, and the fun new addition to the scallop dies, Scallop Hexagons! The sentiments I heat embossed in white on some soft gray cardstock, and framed them with the white scallop frames.
Finished off by mounting those sentiment panels with foam adhesive, then added some Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix. Here is a closer look at the softer one – can you see the shine from the embossing powder?
And then here is the bolder one:
This was so much fun to create – and I can imagine so many different color combinations that would be fun too!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!
Hello everyone, Joni here sharing my take on the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop using the new Summer Friends stamp set and Summer Friends coordinating dies (releasing on July 10th).
To begin, I drew pencil lines to create sand and sea as a background.
Next, I colored the pencil lines with Copic markers.
Next, I drew a half circle with a pencil mark and Colored it with Copic. Then, I added both sun ray images from Rainy Days Additions stamp set to create the sun for the background.
Next, I colored and die-cut the images from the new Summer Friends. I colored the frapp images to fit the challenge.
Then, I die-cut the whole background with Stitched Notes die set. I used the frame and adhere it with foam tape for dimensions
Then, I stamped the sentiment “happy summer” also from Summer Friends stamp. Next, I added some of the new Mermaid Sequins Mix. I put all my die-cut images on a foam square for dimension.
I hope you enjoyed this cute new Summer Friends stamp set coming soon! Until next time, have a great day!!!
Good morning! I’m dropping by today to share a card using some the same stamp and die sets, and similar layout, but creating a scene that is both a day and night version!
For both cards I stamped several images from the adorable Woodland Critters, colored them with Zig markers, and die cut with the coordinating Woodland Critters Dies.
The nighttime version I used some deep gray cardstock, and heat embossed my sentiment from the darling Thoughtful Greetings Stamp set. I also heat embossed some of the stars from that set in gold on there as well as a perfect fit for the sweet sentiment.
For this one, I also added some pretty Gold Mini Star Confetti to carry through the nighttime theme. I mounted this one on a nice soft blue cardbase, and then tied some jute twine around the top of them both to finish off!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you are having a wonderful day!
Hi Pretty Pink Posh friends! Shannon here today to share a pop up card with you! I kept the outside of the card clean and simple and put a cute pop up scene on the inside. I often focus my attention on the outside of the card and neglect the inside so this is a way to change that for me.
I started by creating a card base like usual with light blue card stock but cut it slightly smaller than an A2 sized card. I then put my card into my paper trimmer at 1 and 1/2 inches and cut a slit up to the 1 ” mark. I moved my card into the trimmer touching the 2” mark and again cut a slit down to 1”, this is how I created the slit in my card to allow the pop up piece.
I used the Picket Fence die and and adhered into my background under the pop up piece and also added some blades of grass from the Camping Friends stamp set. I then stamped my fox and flag from the Fox Friends stamp set, colored in with Copic markers and cut out using the coordinating dies. I adhered my flag behind my fox and cut an additional fox die cut out from white card stock to adhere onto my stamped fax just to make that piece a little more sturdy for my pop up. I then Adhered my fox onto my pop up piece and adhered my blue card base inside a white card piece creating my pop up when you open the card.
For the outside of card I kept it very simple stamping my images from the Camping Friends stamp set and coloring in with Copic markers. I then cut some blue clouds using the Rainy Day Coordinating dies and added some 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins on them.
Decorating the inside of the card was fun and I must do it more often.
Thanks for stopping in! We hope you enjoyed today’s fun card.
Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I want to share a floral card using the Build A Bloom stamp set.
This set features a number of parts and pieces to create your own unique flowers, leaves and floral arrangements. There are outline and corresponding solid images and also just outline and just solid images that don’t necessarily go together. So with this set you can chose to stamp your flowers and leaves outlines and color them using your favorite coloring mediums or stamp solid images using colored ink and have instant flowers and leaves. You can also combine a lot of these to have an outline and solid stamped color.
So quite a lot you can do and many different looks you can have. There is a set of coordinating dies available and these cut pretty much each and every shape out.
Watch my video tutorial below to learn how I made this card.
I started working on my card by die cutting the shapes out first. With tiny dies like these I prefer to keep them connected and cut them all at once first and do my stamping later. I feel this way I am saving a lot of time as for me it is easier to align a stamp over a small die cut shape versus align a die over a small stamped image.
I die cut a number of shapes out, I think I cut all of them 2 or 3 times and later had additional florals cut to have more flowers for my card.
Next I used various colors of ink and stamped my images. I picked 2 shades of green, 2 shades of yellow and 3 shades of pink for my stamping. I first stamped layers using lighter color of ink and later came in added a detail layer onto some of my images using a darker shade. So in a way this stamp set can be used as a color layering one where you build your flower using individual layers and different colors of ink.
To create a vase for my floral arrangement I used a Christmas ornament from the Winter Friends stamp set. I turned it upside down and colored using C3, C1 and colorless blender Copic markers.
I made my floral arrangement heavy on one side as I wanted to add a sentiment to the other side. I went with “Thinking Of You Today and Every Day”from the Thoughtful Greetings stamp set, but of course you can go with any other message you like.
Next I foam mounted my panel onto an A2 top folding card base and since I had some additional die cuts left I used them to add some flowers and leaves around the message. I also used small clear droplets and adhered those onto some of the flower centers for additional interest.
The nighttime version I used some deep gray cardstock, and heat embossed my sentiment from the darling 
I used the
