Pond Friends - Pretty Pink Posh

Hey, crafty friends!

Today, I am sharing a last-minute Valentine's Day card idea using the Pretty Pink Posh Pond Friends stamp set.

First, I made the Lawn Fawn scalloped box card as directed and used just one type of patterned paper for all the panels. The one I used is from the This is Family Collection by Jen Hadfield for Pebbles. I then used a light blue cardstock for the inserts. Since I don't have any wavy dies for the water, I used the scallop die from the Stitched Borders 1 die set and ran it upside down through my die cut machine.

I then stamped the swans, the cluster of hearts, and stamped 2 bows from the Reindeer Friends stamp set. It's my favorite little bow and I like using it as a hair bow or a bow tie for the PPP people stamps. It's just the perfect size. Next, I did some easy Copic coloring using the following shades:

Swan - BG0000 for shading
Beak - YR02/00
Blush - R00
Bows - BG11/10
Hearts - R24/22

I cut the "You are very special to me" sentiment, stamped on a small oval, and foam mounted onto the front flap of the box. Lastly, I adhered the swans in the front insert and attached the hearts to a piece of acetate and adhered in the back insert.

I hope this simple card inspires you to create. To cut down on production time, you can skip the copic coloring on the shading of the swans and skip the bows. The box does take a few minutes to build, but by making all the other elements simple, you'll be able to recreate this in no time.

Merriest Christmas Wishes - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello friends. I'm here to show you a super easy Christmas shaker card made possible by the new Pretty Pink Posh Tree Cover Plate . I get really excited when I can whip up a card in just a few minutes. Let's get started! First, I cut the Tree Cover Plate from light pink cardstock and glued a sheet of clear acetate on the back. I added foam tape all around the edges and in the spaces between the trees. Then, I sprinkled in some Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads . After that, I peeled off the backing of the foam tape and glued on a patterned paper that's A2-sized. For the words, I used white heat embossed with a saying from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stamp Set on red cardstock. Then, I cut it out with a die from the Sentiment Strip Dies and gave it some extra pop by mounting it with foam. To make things extra special, I added Metallic Gold Pearls here and there for a touch of sparkle. I'm just thrilled with how quickly this card came together. I hope it gets your cre...

Merry Christmas - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello friends! T oday I've got a delightful Christmas shaker card featuring the Pretty Pink Posh Stocking Shaker Die as the star of the show. This card is a breeze to recreate, so let's dive right in! First things first, I took some pink cardstock and cut it into a large rectangle using the Eyelet Rectangles Dies. Then, I used the Stocking Shaker Die to cut out the center area of the stocking. I taped the edges of the stocking onto the pink card panel and added a piece of clear acetate to the back of the stocking shape. To create the shaker part, I attached foam tape to the back of the card panel and filled it up with the Christmas Tree Mix . For the back of the shaker stocking, I used a piece of red cardstock that I decorated with dots using the Mini Polka Dots Stencil. For the sentiment, I cut out " Merry " in silver glitter foam and stamped " Christmas " in black ink on the top part of the stocking. Next, I cut out a cute Christmas tree from green card...

Thankful For You - Pretty Pink Posh

Hey crafty pals! I have a cool box card to share. I had this idea of fitting the PPP mug into the Scallop Box Card , and guess what? It totally worked, and I'm beyond thrilled! So, let's dive into the nitty-gritty. I grabbed some Sage green cardstock and cut out the box card. I assembled the box and added in three inserts and jazzed things up with dies from the Fall Cornucopia and Fall Mug Additions Dies. I used Spellbinders cardstock for all those awesome dies. How adorable is that little fox peeking out of the mug, by the way? And speaking of the mug, I added a sweet design using the Deco Leaves Stencil and some Glacier White Ranges Pigment Ink . Now, here comes the fun part. I used the Fall Mug Additions Dies and Fall Cornucopia Dies to cut out various shapes in different cardstock colors. I glued these on the inserts, creating the cutest autumn scene you ever did see. Next up, I used hot foil to make the Thankful Script shine, cut it with the Thankful Shadow Die, and ...
