Sneak Peek

Hello everyone! Amy here and I’m so excited to be sharing a look at the new adorable Bunny Friends stamp set releasing March 1st. The coordinating Bunny Friends Dies will be available as well.

Today, I’m sharing a one layer Easter card using the masking technique. Masking is a stamping technique where you cover stamped images so that the other images may be placed over it to create an illusion of depth. The image you stamp first is the one that will appear on the front. The second image will look as though it’s partially behind the first.

To begin, I stamped the bunnies from Bunny Friends on thin printer paper. I cut them out with a scissor right on the line (see photo 1). Behind the images, I used a removable adhesive tape.

I placed a trimmed Bristol paper inside a Misti Stamping Tool, and stamped the first bunny and flowers (see photo 2). I covered the stamped image with the paper mask, and I used the Molotow Masking Liquid on the flowers (since it would be more difficult to create paper masks for them). I continued masking and stamping until I had all the images stamped.

To add color to the panel, I die-cut trimmed paper with a die from the Scallop Borders 2.

I covered the top of the panel with the die-cut paper and inked the bottom with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. After, I spritzed it with water for texture. I then covered the bottom and inked the top of the panel with Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks. I spritzed it with water as well as splatters of diluted Peacock Feather Distress Inks. Finally, I removed all the paper masks and colored the images with Copic markers.

 

Good morning friends! Heather here this morning with a peek at some of the newest goodies from Pretty Pink Posh! This new release is amazing – and if you are ready for Spring – it is PERFECT!

Today I’m featuring the exciting follow-up to the unique Sparkle Dot Patterns 1 stamp set from a previous release. That’s right! The new release includes Sparkle Dot Patterns 2! I’m also using SEVERAL of the new dies from the release, and some of the gloriously sparkly new Jewels!

There are several patterns in the Sparkle Dot Patterns 2 stamp set – but I noticed that the smaller egg shape was a PERFECT fit for the Decorative Egg Dies! I stamped it in a soft colored ink on my die cut solid egg, then filled it in with Pink Blush, Spring Green, Pansy Purple, and Lemon Drop Jewels. One little Sea Glass Jewel snuck on there as well by accident – can you spot it? I added the scallop edge tucked behind and adhered with a bit of foam adhesive for more dimension.

Next I created a background using the new Stacked Edges 2 Dies and some soft watercolor pattern paper from a 6×6 MFT paper pad. I layered them on a panel of white cardstock, and added a white frame with the ever classic Scallop Frames Die. I then die cut Happy Easter Script Die – also a new die – from white glitter cardstock, as well as white cardstock, and layered them together for a bit of extra dimension. I adhered those onto my pattern, wrapped some twine around the bottom of the card, and added my sparkly egg underneath!

The Sparkle Dot Patterns 2 – like the first one – are so fun and versatile! You can use these new jewels, but also sequins, Nuvo Drops, or whatever your imagination can think of!

Well hello friend!  It’s a great day because there’s more new to share from the upcoming Pretty Pink Posh January 10th release! Today I’m playing with the new Pretty Petunias stamp set and Hello Friend Script die.  

I started by stamping the Pretty Petunias in Memento Ink and coloring them with Copic Markers.  The coordinating die set makes cutting them out a breeze!

I experiment with different arrangements using a piece of clear plastic the size of a card base.  I can arrange the flowers without committing and adhering them to the card base.  Because the sheet is clear I can also place my floral arrangement over different colored backgrounds seeing what the completed project will look like.

This card has a simple distress background of Milled Lavender.  I splashed the inked background with water, and then again with watered down Seedless Preserves.  Lastly I gave it a splash of white ink.

If you look close you’ll see some of the flowers and leaves are adhered to the card base while others are adhered with adhesive foam tape to add dimension.  I topped the flowers with the Hello Friend Script die cut from gold foil, and gold glitter paper adhered together.

Do you love the Pretty Pink Posh Storybook dies? If you said yes, then you’re going to love the new Storybook 6 die!

Storybook dies are a fun and easy way to set the scene for your stamped images.  You can insert figures into the die cut windows to tell a story, or use the die cut lines to define spaces like I did .

 I stamped images from Birthday Friends with Memento Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. The coordinating die cuts make these easy to cut and create with. I left each of the die cut boxes white so they didn’t have to compete with the bright colors of the stamped images.

The Birthday Friends stamp set has several different characters complete with lots of accessories!!! Like what? Well… A birthday cake, cupcake, presents and balloons so there’s lots of ways to arrange these!

We hope you’ve enjoyed the sneak peeks these last few days. Be sure to visit the blog tomorrow as we reveal the free stamp set that will be included with qualifying orders this month, while supplies last. It’s a fun set that we know you’re going to love!

Hi there! Lexa here today with a sneak peek for the new release, I promise you that it will be an awesome one! This brand new stamp called Birthday Scene is adorable beyond words. Let’s get started…

First I stamped the image on watercolor paper with Versafine black ink then watercolor them using Distress Markers. I turned a bear into panda, it’s just a matter of how you color it. To frame the little scene I use Scallop Frames Dies on yellow cardstock. For this Birthday Scene, I want it to be colorful and festive so I add some Metallic Gold Confetti. This is just such a happy card!

Hello Pretty Pink Posh Friends! I was recently visiting my mother and she gave me her wonderful collection of Valentine ephemera. I love vintage cupids and this little Cupid Friends stamp set reminds me of the vintage ones. Today I’ll be showing you two new stamp sets to make Valentines – both the Cupid Friends and the Love Sentiments set that releases on January 10th.

I have two cards to share with you today. The first card is a shaker card that uses Cupid Friends and Fly a Kite stamps and dies. I started with the largest Window Frames die to create my card base and shaker window.

I stamped the sentiment on the inside of the opening with red embossing powder. I then used some of the new heart confetti, Iridescent Heart Confetti Mix and Red Mini Heart Confetti, inside the shaker window.

Next, I stamped the two clouds from Fly a Kite and the two cupids from Cupid Friends with light colored ink for a no-line look. I colored them in with Copic markers, added shading with colored pencils, added fine black lines around them to outline, and then die-cut them out with the matching Cupid Friends Dies and Fly A Kite Dies.  I layered the cupids over the clouds on the top and bottom of the card.

To finish the card, I glued some of the same heart sequins over the background and on the clouds.

My next card uses the new Storybook 6 die for the background. I am so in love with all of the Storybook dies as they create the perfect windows for stamped images or shakers AND I always use the inside pieces for my sentiments on cards.

I die-cut the Storybook 6 die from the center of a pink card base. I die-cut a second one from white cardstock to use for the inside pieces.  I then used the new Love Sentiments stamp set for the stamped hearts and the sentiment. I embossed them with pink embossing powder on the two rectangular inside pieces of the die.

I attached a piece of white cardstock underneath the front of the card and then glued the four pieces to the white cardstock. I then embossed the little hearts in the Cupid Friends stamp set over the pink cardstock.

I stamped the two cupids with black ink and colored them in with Copic Markers and shaded with colored pencils. One of my Christmas gifts was a new set of Prismacolors, so I wanted to try them out and they work well over Copics! I finished the card with some of the new sequin mix called Spring Blooms.

Ever since I was a child I have loved making homemade Valentines and these two sets are so perfect for my cards. Thanks so much for visiting today and I hope you are enjoying your new year!

Hello everyone, Joni here sharing some sneak peaks of upcoming products from our upcoming January 10^th release! For these projects I used the new Pretty Petunias stamp set, Pretty Petunias Coordinating Dies. The new Hummingbird Thanks stamp set and Hummingbird Thanks Coordinating Die set.

To begin my card, I first stamped the images from Pretty Petunias Stamp set and Hummingbird Thanks Stamp set on a watercolor paper. Then watercolor each image then die-cut each image with its coordinating die set.

For the background, I simply distressed a white cardstock with Distress Ink in Evergreen Bough and Peeled Paint. Then, splattered with some water and added some of gold paint from Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.

I also added some Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix and new Iridescent Heart Confetti Mix.

This is just another look of the card.

For my next project, I simply just used the Pretty Petunias Stamp set, and Coordinating Die set.

To begin, I first stamped my images on a white cardstock and color them with Copic Markers and die-cut with Pretty Petunias Coordinating Die set. The “friend” die-cut is new. It’s from the Hello Friend Script Die Set. The “friend” was die-cut three times and colored with Copic Markers.

For the background, I distressed it with Distress Ink in Barn Door and Papertrey Ink Melon Berry.

These flowers have lots of possibilities, I added some white dots to give it more interest. I also die-cut a strip of melon berry cardstock using the Scallop Borders 1 to complete the look.

I hope you enjoyed my take on these goodies. Remember the Pretty Pink Posh will be opening up again on January 4^th and we’ll continue to have sneak peeks leading up to our release on January 10^th!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Until next time…

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!

Suzy
