 Hello crafty friends! Today, I am sharing a girly Autumn card. I just love pink, no matter the season. So I thought I'd try it for an Autumn card and I'm glad it worked out for my card.  Let's start! I first cut a 5" square in light pink cardstock and ink blended the bottom with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. I then cut a 4.5" square in white cardstock and ink blended Gina K Designs Amalgam Ink in Warm Glow through the new Leaves Background Stencil . I adhered the smaller panel onto the larger panel. I also cut a 4.5" square vellum to mute the busy background and allow the leaves/wreath to stand out.  Next, I used the new Falling Leaves Stencil for some easy coloring. I used Picked Raspberry , Mustard Seed , and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide Inks. I then lined up the coordinating stamps from the Falling Leaves Stamp Set and used my stamping platform to stamp over the stenciled leaves. For this, I used Memento Rich Cocoa Ink . I cut the leaves w...

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a Christmas card featuring the cutest snowman die from Pretty Pink Posh's new release. This is a standalone die called  Snowman Shaker . To begin, I cut a 3.75" x 5" white cardstock using the  Stitched Notes Die . I ink blended the bottom portion with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. I also cut a smaller panel and ink blended the bottom area with Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. I added snow using  Glitz Glitter Gel  in white through the  Snowfall Stencil .   Next, I cut the  snowman  and top hat in 110lb white cardstock. I colored the hat with Copic Sketch markers - BG09/05/13 and N9/7/5. I then colored the eyes and mouth with N9, nose with YR07/04, and arms with E47/44. To easily piece the snowman together, I turned it over and taped the edge of the border to the larger die. I also added tape behind the eyes, nose, and mouth. I then glued the eyes, nose, and mouth ...

Hello friends! I have a simple Christmas card to share with you all. For this square-shaped card, I used images from the new Pretty Pink Posh  Christmas Candles Stamp Set  and  Poinsettia Corners Stamp Set . Let's begin! I first cut a 4.25" square in silver glitter cardstock. I also cut a 4" square and adhered it onto the larger panel. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the   Christmas Candles Stamp Set  and   Poinsettia Corners Stamp Set . I used the following Copic markers: E42/41/40, R39/37/35, T5/3/1, Y18/11. I glued down the 3 large candles directly on the card. I also stamped "Christmas" and "sending love & light" on the card panel. Next, I foam mounted the smaller candles, poinsettia, and the "merry" greeting. For added texture and interest, I added  Metallic Silver Pearls  here and there.  That's all for this Christmas card! I hope you like it. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

 Hello friends and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh October Release Blog Hop!  I love me some pink Christmas and today, I am sharing a slimline card featuring 2 new stamps from Pretty Pink Posh - Village Stamp Set and Village Additions Stamp Set . Let's get started! For the card panel, I cut the largest rectangle from the Heffy Doodle DL Stitched Trio  in white 110lb cardstock. This is the metric version of the slimline dies. I then placed a low tack tape on the bottom of the panel since I wanted the ground to remain white and ink blended the bottom with Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide Ink and the top with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink. I then added snow using Glitz Glitter Gel in white through the new Snowfall Stencil . Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from Village Stamp Set and Village Additions Stamp Set . I used Copic Sketch Markers to color them: Blues - B02/01/00/000 Greens - G02/00/000, G46/43/40 Pinks - R85/83/81 Reds - R24/22/20 Yellows - Y18/11 ...

It's release day at Pretty Pink Posh and I have a pretty, pink, posh Christmas card to share with you all! I made an A2 size card using previously released and new products. To start, I cut an A2 panel with stitched details around. I then cut the larger frame from the Scallop Frame Dies in pink cardstock, but for this card, I used the positive piece. On this panel, I  added snow using  Glitz Glitter Gel in white  through the new  Snowfall Stencil . This is such a fun way to add texture and sparkle to any cards. Next, I cut an ornate frame in white cardstock using one of the stencils from the Fall Circles Coordinating Dies. I then cut the Layered Tree Dies in a fuchsia cardstock, the star in yellow cardstock, and the trunk in white cardstock. I colored the trunk with Copic E49/47/44. I adhered all the panels together using liquid glue and used foam tape for the Christmas tree. And now for the fun part - I decorated the tree with the new Shamrock Pearls ...
