October Release Blog Hop - Pretty Pink Posh

 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

Greys - N5/3/1, T5/3/1, W3/1/0


I then glued down the buildings and lamp posts onto the card panel and the rest of the images are foam mounted for dimension. Pretty Pink Posh has new pearls in the shop and I for this card, I added Ivory Pearls here and there for added interest and texture. 


For the sentiment, I stamped "Merry" in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on white cardstock and die cut with its coordinating die. I also cut 4 more and stacked them together for dimension. Then, I white heat embossed "Christmas" onto a strip of black cardstock. I used liquid glue to adhere the sentiment onto the card. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a card base.




I hope that you enjoyed my pink holiday card and that I've inspired you to make Christmas cards for your loved ones. By the way, there is a FREE gift with a purchase over $125 on the Pretty Pink Posh website ;)

    Hi, Leica - Have admired your work many times -- no exception today. Love this quaint, pastel scene. I am just bowled over and knocked out by the use of pink in so many cards from many companies and many crafters this year. If it was used this much in the past, I don't recall it making such an impression on me. Your scene is so adorable and the word that comes to mind is "cozy." Thanks a million for sharing - it made me happy just to see this!

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.

October Release 2023 Blog Hop - Pretty Pink Posh

 Hello and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh October 2023 Release Blog Hop! For my card, I started out with a light blue cardstock that measures 4.5 inches square. I stenciled through the Winter Words with Finnabair Snowflake Paste for a fun background. I then made a mug shaker using the Winter Mug Dies and the cutout to make a window for the shaker is from the Birthday Mug Additions Dies. The shaker bits are from the Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads . I used various colors of cardstock from Spellbinders for my card. I added a cute little bird from the Holiday Birds Dies and a couple gifts using the rectangle pieces from the Build A Stocking Dies. The rest of the die cuts are from the new Holiday Mug Additions Dies.  Then I added some pink dots on the greenery with Liquid Pearls in Ballerina. Lastly, I glued the card panel onto a 4.5-inch square card base. Make sure to check out the rest of the Hop for more inspiration using the new products from Pretty Pink Posh! There are 4 $30 g

Pretty Pink Posh February 2023 Release Blog Hop

Hello friends! Welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh February 2023 Release Blog Hop and happy  9th birthday, PPP!  Today, I’m sharing a birthday card and a gift card holder that I made using dies and stencils from the new Birthday Release.  For my card, I started with an A2-sized white cardstock that I ink blended with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink. I sprayed some water for an oxidized effect and also splattered some white ink on it. I then took a scrap of white cardstock and used finger daubers to ink blend Distress Oxide Inks in rainbow colors. I used Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Lucky Clover, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet. I sprayed water, splattered white ink, and cut the rainbow colored panel with the WISH die. I also cut the flame from the Birthday Mug Addition Dies and ink blended it with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink.  Next, I stamped the sentiments with black ink then foam mounted WISH and the flame on the card panel. I also added some pearls for inter
