Hi everyone! This is Vera and today I have Hexagon Magnetic Bookmark to share with you featuring the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Hexagons Dies.
Magnetic bookmarks are popular lately and they’re so easy to make! When I saw the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Hexagons Dies I knew that there were so many options for both cards and other projects.
To create these magnetic bookmarks, I used white cardstock and flexible magnet sheet (you can use flexible magnet tape too). The images are Pretty Pink Posh clear stamps : Camping Friends | Holiday Pals | Rainy Days and the sentiments are from the Birdie Friends Stamp Set. I blended the hexagon die cut with dye ink pad and colored the images using Zig Clean Color Real Brush. On the back side, you can write the words as desired using a black marker and white gel pen.
Here’s a video to show how I created these bookmarks from the start to finish.
If you read the post title and have followed the Pretty Pink Posh blog for a while, I’m sure you are super excited. For this special challenge blog hop, I am bringing back the popular 10 Minute Craft Dash and honestly, I couldn’t be more excited. This challenge is where I challenged crafters to create something within a 10 minute time frame. I really wanted to encourage crafters that they didn’t need to set aside a whole day, or several hours, to create something.
The super sweet Nina-Marie has created a post, along with a coordinating video, for today’s post. Let’s check out what she made…
Nina-Marie here with you today sharing a fun project -and challenge- with you today! This post is in collaboration with Altenew’s Ultimate Craft challenge and here at Pretty Pink Posh, we are featuring a fun 10 Minute Craft Dash.
In this challenge, you are required to make a card or project in 10 minutes or less! When I got the assignment topic for this post I knew this would be fun, but also REALLY challenging for me because I usually make cards that are pretty involved in the coloring process. I knew immediately that coloring of any length would be out of the question because it takes me MUCH longer than 10 minutes to color something in! Haha!
Another thing I do not do when I am making a card is actually PLAN; I like to create as I go along. I sometimes have a general idea with the direction of a card when I start out, but nothing real definitive. But for this, I knew I needed a solid plan to stick to because of the limited amount of time I had to work with. This layout for my card was super easy to put together, but at the same time, shows off the gorgeous floral pattern in the background perfectly!
Speaking of the background; I wanted to color SOMETHING in this card, but because of the 10 minute time frame, I knew it was going to have to be a fast technique. In this video, I’ll be sharing how I created this beautiful watercolor background in less than 4 minutes!
Be sure you check out the video below to see that, along with how I created the entire card in a total of 9 minutes and 42 seconds!
How to Play: Create a card/ craft project within 10 minutes featuring Altenew and post the time it took to create. Also, include the challenge graphic in your post and link back to the challenge!
Prizes: To celebrate this fantastic blog hop, Altenew is giving away $35 gift certificates to FIVE lucky winners. Winners will be chosen at random from the comments left on any of the blogs listed below and will be announced on the Altenew blog on October 17th, 2016.
* If you aren’t able to stay within the 10 minutes, you can still link up your post. (It might qualify for one of the other challenges part of this challenge blog hop)!
Welcome back everyone! It’s Nina-Marie here with you today featuring a fun technique on coloring your Pretty Pink Posh Clear Droplets to create gorgeous embellishments for your cards!
I love using Clear Droplets on my cards; because they are clear, this makes them perfect for using with just about any style of project! However, sometimes you might find you want them to be a specific color to coordinate better with your card, or to create a certain effect. Well, by using some Copic refill ink, you can do just that!
I used refills for this technique today, but bear in mind you can color over the Clear Droplets with markers instead. Since I was creating a lot of the same color of droplets, I ended up using the Copic refills because it was faster than coloring with an individual marker.
For those of you looking for other alternatives to recreate this technique: Copic ink is alcohol based; and while I haven’t tried it personally, I would imagine that other alcohol inks like Ranger Adirondacks, Nuvo/Tonic Creative Pens, Chameleon Pens, Touch Twin Markers and others would also work. Just do some testing before trying it on a specific project!
In today’s video, I’ll be sharing the steps I took to create the colored Clear Droplets, including a few tips and tricks! I’ll then walk you through how I used those droplets to create the sweet scene card you see in the photos, using Pretty Pink Posh dies and stamps from My Favorite Things!
Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and I have a video tutorial to share today featuring one of the new stamps & dies- Camping Friends.
To create the shaker area for this project I used a coordinating die, not a stand alone die, and die cut a tent window in a rectangle panel. I often like to use my coordinating dies on their own without the stamps and using the die like this is a great example of how you can stretch the use of dies beyond just using them with their matching stamps.
I also filmed a video tutorial to walk you through the cardmaking process from start to finish.
Instead of using acetate for my shaker window, I once again used vellum. If you missed my earlier post, click here. The reason I went with vellum here is because when using vellum, unlike acetate, I’m able to emboss it. I embossed a tent image in Gold Embossing powder (I made two identical cards and for the other card I used Simon’s Antique Gold embossing powder) and adhered vellum screen onto the die cut rectangle from behind.
Tip: when using acetate you won’t be able to heat emboss it unless the acetate is heat resistant, but you can stamp on acetate with special kind of ink like StazOn. You can also stamp on vellum and there are a lot of different kinds of ink what will dry on vellum surface.
Instead of using regular white and brown cardstock, I used woodgrain textured card as I feel is was a perfect match for this nature-themed project. I also added a bit of natural twine to the mix.
Hi friends! It’s Nina-Marie here with you today sharing a fun scene card with you, as well as a look at some of the new stamps and dies that are being released by Pretty Pink Posh on August 5th!
For my card I am going to be using the new Camping Friends stamp and die set, along with the newest addition to the Storybook die collection, Storybook 5! I love this new die and how it has a larger square incorporated into the design, and then a smaller rectangle down below. I can see this being perfect for using as a scene panel like I have done today, or a shaker window!
Because I wanted to make a one layer scene using this die, I did a bit of masking during my initial stamping to achieve this. However if you wanted to skip the masking process, you could stamp all the images individually, die cut them out and then layer them together to build the scene the same way.
I’ll be doing some Zig Clean Color marker coloring in this video; for those of you who are interested in the color combinations I use, I’ll break them down for you below; they are also annotated in the video.
Raccoon: Gray Brown 094, Light Gray 091, Light Pink 026, Light Carmine 021 Tent: Turquoise Green 042, Persian Green 033 Bird: Red 020, Wine Red 024, Yellow 050 Tree Log & Wood Sign: Beige 072, Brown 060, Mid Brown 065 Sky: Light Blue 036, Persian Blue 032, Deep Violet 084, Yellow 050 Moon: Yellow 050, Lemon Yellow 051, Orche 063 Grass: Light Green 041, Mid Green 046, Olive Green 043, Green 040
I hope you’ll watch the video below to see how I created this card! I’ll be sharing tips and tricks along the way, including how I fixed a watercolor mishap (yes, it happens to ALL of us)!
Thanks so much for stopping by and spending some time with me! Stay tuned to the blog all next week as we share more looks of the new release leading up to the launch on August 5th!
Hello friends! I am so happy you are joining me for another video tutorial, this time featuring a fun circle shaker card and Copic coloring techniques!
I love the Scallop Circle dies, which are one of Pretty Pink Posh’s fabulous, exclusive die sets! These dies are perfect for creating windows, shakers, frames and more. Today I’ve used the die to create both a shaker and a frame for the Copic colored flower scene inside.
The flower is from Hero Art’s Marianne’s Flowers stamp set; Isn’t that rose pretty? I used my Copic markers to color the rose and background.
In the video I have for you (see below), I’ll be walking you through the coloring, as well as how I created texture on the leaves and sky. For reference, I’ve listed out the Copic colors used in today’s project below and in the video:
Rose: RV00, R81, R83, R85
Leaves: YG61, YG63, YG67, YG97
Stem: E42, E84, E87
Background: BG01
To see how I put this card together, be sure to check out the video below or over on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel! Please give it a big thumbs up and subscribe for more creative inspiration!
Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and I have a video tutorial to share today featuring one of my favorite dies from Pretty Pink Posh – Stitched Duo 2.
I really love using dies to create unique die cut backgrounds and today I’m expanding the pattern of the Stitched Duo 2 die to create a diagonal stip on my card front.
To learn more, please watch my video tutorial below.
The trick to create a background like I have on my card is rather simple. All you need to do for perfect spacing is to die cut the first set of circles and than snap top row of circles of your die with the bottom row of the die cut circles (negatives) on your panel. From there you can expand the pattern however many times you like, you can expand it going just up or down or in all 4 ways to have an entire die cut background for a card.
To decorate my card I decided to use images from 2 sets – Holiday Pals(I used a little branch) and Birdie Friends(used a nest and a chick). I stamped several branches using a couple colors of yellow and green and also stamped 3 chicks and colored all using Copic Markers. All of them were die cut using matching dies.
Die cut backgrounds like these can also be die cut out of colored cardstock and mounted onto white card base. Here’s a close up of another card where the panel was die cut out of gray and foam mounted onto white:
Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie here with you today to share some Rainbow Theme Week inspiration on using your Distress Inks and Copics together to create a fun birthday card!
I really love the playful appearance of the Stitched Speech Bubble die set; the added stitching detail around the edges of the finishes the dies off perfectly.
For the coloring on the speech bubble dies I used Distress Inks in the following colors: Festive Berries, Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet. On all the speech bubbles I also used my Distress Sprayer to add fun water droplets, which add a lot of interest!
The stamps I used for this card is the Cool Cat set from My Favorite Things; aren’t they adorable? They paired so well with these speech bubble dies, it was like a match made in heaven!
All of the critters are colored with Copics… I used the following colors for the cats: C00, C1, C3, C5, C7, R20, R21. I ended up fussy cutting these cats out with scissors, but you could get the coordinating dies instead.
And of course, no card would be complete without some fabulous sequins from Pretty Pink Posh! I used my absolute favorite Sparkling Clear sequins and scattered them about on the card… they add just the right amount of sparkle and shine and I LOVE the result!
Be sure to watch the video below to see how this entire card came together! If you enjoy, be sure to give it a “thumbs up” and subscribe to our YouTube channel for more inspiration!
I hope today’s card has inspired you to pull out your Pretty Pink Posh products and create some fabulous rainbow themed cards of your own! Thanks so much for spending some time with me and I hope you’ll stop back again soon!
Hello there everyone! It’s Nina-Marie here with you today and I have a fun set of shaker cards to share with you that feature not only a bunch of Pretty Pink Posh’s fabulous new iridescent 4mm sequins, but ALSO all four of the Storybook dies in the Storybook collection! Oh and did I mention that the shaker cards I am creating are RAINBOW shaker cards????
I love making shaker cards and the Storybook dies from Pretty Pink Posh are SO perfect for making cute little shakers! My favorite from the Storybook collection is the new Storybook 4 die; I love all the tiny squares! I actually used this die in another video not too long ago to create a “peek-a-boo” card… you might want to check out after you’ve finished up this post; you can find it on the Pretty Pink Posh blog here.
And since I was turning these Storybook dies into shakers, I thought this would be a perfect way to showcase the GORGEOUS new iridescent sequin colors! So I used a rainbow assortment (literally!) of 4mm and 6mm sequins to create my shakers. The colors I used are as follows:
Yes, I know that’s a lot of sequins, but the result is SO worth it! Be sure to check out the video below to see how I created this card set from start to finish! If you enjoy, please give the video a big thumbs up and subscribe to our channel for more inspiration!
Hello everyone! Today we are so excited about this post; we will be sharing with you a couple of ways to organize your stamps and dies; one more widely known and the other as a cost-saving alternative.
I love having my supplies organized in a pretty (although its mandatory for me that it is a functional-pretty). However, most every one of us has only a limited amount of funds that can be spent on their crafty supplies each month. For me, I would rather have more tools, stamps, inks, paper, etc. then spend too much of my allocated craft funds on organizational materials.
I’ll be showing you in my video for today how I store all my stamps and dies, but I wanted to cover a couple of things here in the post too…
Let’s first talk about stamp/die pockets… I used to keep all my stamps and dies in their original packaging; but after a while the packaging would wear out from constant use, so I needed a new method. I used the Avery Elle storage sleeves for a while and though they are great and hold up wonderfully, I wanted something more cost effective; I also wasn’t a huge fan of the flap closure as I like things more easily accessible.
That’s when I came up with taking 5×7 photo sleeves and using them as stamp and die storage pockets. The kind I buy comes 50 sheets to a box, with two sleeves per sheet. I cut each sheet down and by doing so, I result in a total of 100 pockets for just over $10. Most photo sleeves are designed to withstand a lot of handling and I have been using my oldest pockets for about 2 years now and have not needed to replace any.
For keeping my dies organized, I like using magnetic vent covers. These are thin magnetic sheets that are easily found in local hardware stores (or online). Be sure to watch the video to see the magnetic sheets in action. If you are crafting on a budget, you could skip using the magnetic sheets and simply store your dies in pockets loose.
Finally, I wanted to mention how I store my stamps and dies when they are not in use. I use InterDesign fridge bins; I usually buy the two-row bins, as I like these best (again, personal preference). However, I do use other Fridge Bins in various sizes for a variety of other materials and supplies.
Be sure to watch the full video for all the details on how I create my stamp and die storage pockets!
We wanted to have a giveaway in this post so you could purchase some of these storage tools or fill up your crafty stash. Enter the giveaway to win one $50 gift certificateto ONE of the following stores: Amazon, Ellen Hutson, Simon Says Stamp or Pretty Pink Posh.
In this challenge, you are required to make a card or project in 10 minutes or less! When I got the assignment topic for this post I knew this would be fun, but also REALLY challenging for me because I usually make cards that are pretty involved in the coloring process. I knew immediately that coloring of any length would be out of the question because it takes me MUCH longer than 10 minutes to color something in! Haha!
