Pretty Pink Posh Shop

Hi friends! Angelica here and today I am sharing sneak peeks of the new gorgeous Peonies stamp set that releases on April 29th. I’ve made two cards using the same coloring technique.

My first card is a clean and simple card. I stamped the flowers and petals onto watercolor paper with embossing ink, then heat-embossed with white embossing powder. I used Tombow markers and a watercolor brush to color the images.

I die-cut the images using the Peonies coordinating dies. I cut a panel of white card stock to 4 x 5.25, then blended Impress Fresh Ink Peony onto the middle. I stamped a sentiment from the new Animal Signs stamp set, and added the flowers and petals with different sizes of foam adhesive squares. I attached the card front to an A2 size card base with craft foam, then added a few Sparkling Clear Jewels for my finishing touch.

For my second card, I jazzed it up with more color.

I used light blue card stock for my card panel, and darkened the edges with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink. I stamped and gold heat-embossed another sentiment from the Animal Signs stamp set, and added beautiful new Cornflower Jewels to finish the card.

I can’t wait to see all the new projects that will be made with this fabulous release! Join us tomorrow as we reveal more products that will be available on April 29th. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello! This is Nicky with you today and I have a fun sneak peek at the upcoming Pretty Pink Posh new release that is available on April 29th. I am featuring the new stamp set ‘Elephant Friends‘.

Pretty Pink Posh has started a new line of stencils which is very exciting to me and my card uses the ‘Leaves Stencil‘. The grassy hills were created using the Stitched Borders 2 Die.

This card is a slimline card with finished dimensions of 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches and fits a Size 9 standard envelope.  I made a card base and set it to one side.  I created a panel, masked off the edges so that I’d have a white border and I used the stencil together with Distress Oxide ink in Cracked Pistachio and a with a Clarity Stencil Brush I brushed the ink through the stencil.  The stencil is not as wide as this extra long card and so I moved the stencil along and completed the job.  The mask was removed.

I die cut 3 sections of ‘grass’ using one of the trio of dies from Stitched Borders 2 and ink blended them using the same ink as for the stenciling and then backed them with foam tape and applied them to the background panel.  I stamped the sentiment BIG Hugs in my Misti so that I could repeat the stamping and get a bold look.

On Strathmore Bristol Smooth the Elephant Friends images were stamped using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil. They were watercolour painted using a Tombow ABT in shade 451 and Kuretake Zigs in Blue Gray, Light Pink, Yellow and Green Shadow. Points were highlighted with a white gel pen.  They were die cut and backed with more foam and applied to the scene.

For the finishing touches, I applied Glossy Accents to the star balloon to make it shiny and highly dimensional and several Sparkling Clear Sequins of 3 different sizes were also attached.

I think you need these these elephants in your life – aren’t they just so sweet?

Hi, everyone! It’s Marge sharing a watercolor spring card which features Spring Wreath stamp set and Beautiful Butterflies stamp set.

To begin, I trimmed heavyweight watercolor cardstock into A2 size, then I placed negative diecut of larger Scallop Ovals Die on the center to mask it off. The outer space was filled with small images from Spring Wreath stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I watercolored all the images using my watercolor brush markers and I added gold and blue dots on empty space between images using pearl pens which I had bought at a local store.

Next, I stamped butterflies from Beautiful Butterflies stamp set and Butterfly Friends stamp set on another watercolor paper, watercolored them and die cut them all using Beautiful Butterflies coordinating dies and Butterfly Friends coordinating dies.

Before stamping sentiment, I placed butterflies around the floral images first, then I stamped a sentiment from Thoughtful Greetings on the center using my Mini MISTI. In turn, I adhered butterflies on the same spots where I had placed them beforehand. I love how they look dimensional on the floral garden due to Square Foam Adhesives I used.

Finally, I foam mounted my panel onto A2-sized card base and then I  added Sparkling Clear Sequins, 4mm Ballerina Pink and 6mm Ballerina Pink Sequins around the scene using Micro Glue Dots.

Hi, crafty friends! It’s Marge with you for today and I’m sharing a simple flower card I made using the popular Hummingbird Thanks set with the Crocus Flowers set.

I started by stamping Crocus Flowers (with masking technique) and a Hummingbird on watercolor paper with Antique Linen ink then I watercolored them very lightly. I cut the flowers freehand and hummingbird using Hummingbird Thanks Coordinating Dies and set them aside.

Next, I removed a pair the window pieces from Decorative Tags 2 Dies and ran it through my cutting machine to cut a tag which I really love the shape.

Then, I trimmed a piece of gray gingham paper little bit smaller than 4.25×5.5 inch and adhered it onto white card base. In turn, I foam mounted Decorative Tags 2, Crocus Flowers, and Hummingbird Thanks one by one on it.

Sentiment from Floral Hearts set was heat embossed in white on a piece of red card stock. Finally, I embellished my card with the Valentine Jewel Mix and Ivory Twine which were adhered by using Mini Glue Dots.
