Spring Circles + Bee Friends - Pretty Pink Posh

Hi, friends! It's Leica here today. I have a card and tag set using a combination of old and new stamp sets from Pretty Pink Posh. The old stamp set is Bee Friends and the new one is Spring Circles. I love that the new Spring Circles stamp sets go perfectly together with other PPP products, such as the Hummingbird Thanks, any of the butterflies sets, Spring Robins, Spring Scene Die, and the new Flower Bouquets Stamp Set.

Let's start with the circle card. To begin, I die cut a white cardstock using a 4.5" circle die and another one in 4". I then ink blended the smaller circle with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide ink and sprayed some water for some interest. I also cut a small part of the circle in white cardstock for the grass area and inked with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide. The scallop edge is cut using Scallop Borders Dies. I ended up with 2 layers of the grass area, because the inked smudged on the first layer so I fixed my mistake by adhering another layer on top. In the end, I liked the look of the double scallop edging for the grass.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Bee Friends Stamp Set. I then stamped the bee trails on the circle panel and the sentiment on the grass piece. Lastly, I adhered the stamped images onto the card panel using liquid glue and the bees with foam tape for dimension.

For the matching tag, I used the tag die from the Spring Circles Coordinating Dies. I used the Mini Polka Dots Stencil with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink for the background. The bee image in a circle is from Spring Circles and I added a little bee from the Bee Friends Stamp Set, too. Lastly, the From Me to You sentiment is from Bear Friends Stamp Set. Make sure to check your stash for other beautiful sentiments that fit on the Simple Strips Dies.

That's all for this card and tag duo. I hope you are inspired to use the older PPP sets and make matching cards and tags with the new Spring Circles Stamp Sets and Coordinating Dies. Have a great day!

Heffy Doodle and Gerda Steiner Designs Collaboration

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Gerda Steiner Designs Collaboration Blog Hop! Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies! For this fun collaboration, I made a slimline birthday card. To begin, I stamped, colored, and cut images from Gerda Steiner Designs - On the Table , On the Bookshelf and the new Heffy Doodle Popping By stamp set. I then cut the largest rectangle from the Heffy Doodle Stitched Slimline Trio Dies in white cardstock. For my table, I used the Ain't So Plaid Stencil and inked with Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides. The top portion is ink blended with Tattered Rose and I splattered some black and rose gold acrylic paint for interest. I then white heat embossed the happy birthday sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock. Next, I adhered the elements down onto the card. Lastly, I adhered my panel onto a slimline card base.

3D Paper Christmas Trees - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh October Release Blog Hop!!! Hello crafty friends! I have made the cutest 3D paper Christmas trees using the Pine Trees dies and I'm very excited to share some tips and tricks for making these trees. The Pine Trees include 3 different sizes and I was able to cut 4 of each from an 8.5" x 11" cardstock. The work is tedious, but the end result makes it all worthwhile. Just enjoy the process ;) Once all the pieces are cut, simply score in half and glue one side to the other. The more trees you add, the fluffier it gets. Here is my first tip: use a binder clip to keep the trees in place while the glue dries. I used 10 trees each for these pink ones: I cut some snowflakes from the Winter Mug dies and used them as tree toppers. How about some pretty, pink, posh ghosts? (You like what I did there? Hehe) The ghost die cut is also included in the Winter Mug dies. You can add a little bit of glue or just tuck it in-between the pages of the ...

Let's get started! I first cut a 4.5" square in kraft cardstock and ink blended the bottom with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.
