Pretty Pink Posh May Blog Hop

Hello Crafty friends! Davina here, sharing brand new products from the Pretty Pink Posh May release. This beautifully curated release is full of items for all of our spring/summer events, like Graduations and Fathers Day, pretty bird themed sets, and more. 

I especially loved these detailed Decorative Birdhouses Die Set. All of the pretty stitched details and various door options made it so fun to play with. I cut each house from Bristol Smooth Cardstock two times. With one of each design, I inkblended the house with Distress Oxide Ink, then secured the scallop and trim with washi tape from behind. I also added a little bit of marker detail to each house. Next, I adhered the white trim from my second die cut houses, layered on top, and used a darker marker to color the small strips. Then, I cut and added the doors to each little house. 

I was so excited that the birds from A Little Birdie stamp set fit so perfectly with these houses. I stamped and colored three birds to add to my houses, and layered them onto a slimline cardbase that I gently inked.  I stamped the nice long branch from the Spring Birdhouses stamp set onto the cardbase as well. I intentionally left it as an outline so it wouldn’t distract from my little row of cute houses. I finished this off  with a heat embossed sentiment and a sprinkling of colored confetti from the new Rainbow Shimmer Confetti Mix. 

Make sure you “Hop along” all three days to see the incredible DT samples with this wonderful release,

Spring Theme with Pretty Pink Posh

Hello crafty friends! Davina here to share some Spring inspiration using some gorgeous products from Pretty Pink Posh. I combined some brand new products along with some of my favorites from last year, and I hope you love it. 

First, I used the incredible new Scallop Box Card to die cut the pieces for my card. I used some pretty colored cardstock that coordinated with some spring colored plaid patterned paper. I cut 3 of the front pieces, and trimmed two of them in half to make the “layers”. I added some trimmed grassy paper panels to the front of those “layers” before adhering them into my box. 

From colored cardstock, I also created my carrot forest, using the carrot die from the Easter Mug Add On die set. I gently inked the edges with Distress Oxide Inks and added some details with copic markers. I stamped lots of images from the Easter Signs and Easter Wreath stamp sets. I colored everything in using bright spring colors and cut out using the coordinating dies.

I used the large scalloped die to cut out two panels. One for the front, and one for the back. I inked a pink and yellow blended ombré for the front with lots of sparkly splatter, and for the back piece I stamped my sentiment. I adhered the panels and went to work filling up my layers with all the fun goodies. 

I attached all the carrots together into one piece before adding them into my second layer. It left plenty of room for my butterflies to flutter on acetate strips on that back layer. Then I assembled my main images up front. For the very front I layered the garden sign with a popped up “Spring” that I made with the new Happy Spring Shadow Dies. 

Everything looks great from all angles and this new  boxcard die set  is just the cutest! I hope that you feel inspired to create some beautiful spring projects for yourself.

Pretty Pink Posh January Release Blog Hop

Hello Crafty Friends! Welcome to the first Blog Hop of 2023, I’m so excited for the January Pretty Pink Posh release. This release is huge and full of the most beautiful items. They have even added a new line to the brand, Hot Foil Dies! With so many cute Valentines themed products I chose to share an all die cut card today. 

One of the most fun companion die sets ever is available today, Valentine Mug Additions. This fantastic add on set is full of accessories for the popular Winter Mug Dies. I created a mini slimline sized card that I filled to the brim with goodies created with these dies. 

I cut multiple whipped creams to overflow the coffee mug and stashed a layered drink stirrer out of the top. Then I surrounded the mug with chocolates, dipped strawberries, and a spoon. There are a pair of candies and a sparkly cookie that I made using dies from Candy Treats Dies. I gently inked the edges of my die cut pieces before assembling, and added some chunky glitter to many of them. I love the full dimensional look of the final card.

Valentines Release Sneak Peek

Hello Crafty Friends! Today I’m sharing some super sweet “Sneak Peek” projects for the most amazing Pretty Pink Posh  January release. This release is full of the cutest Valentines products and everything from stamps and dies, to stencils, and now Hot Foil Plates! It’s all so exciting and I can’t wait for everyone to see the new goodies!

I made some adorable little note card Valentines using the new Sweet Note Die and a few of the new sets, Potted Roses and Sweet Cherries . I die cut some colored cardstock using the Sweet Note set, and adhered some bright patterned paper to the exterior that I cut with the notecard die, and trimmed to fit the folds. I love the sweet stitching detail and the little square panel that is included for the interior. I stamped images from both sets (and a mouse and accessories from previous sets) and colored them up in bright colors to match my patterned paper. 

I created very simple scenes for both the exterior and inside of each card. Making sure to use the same layout on each card. The gorgeous cherries are the perfect size to add to the large cupcakes, and those roses are so pretty and fun to color.

Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Week

 

Hello crafty friends! Today I’m very excited to be participating in the Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Week! I just love creating with Pretty Pink Posh products, I really appreciate the cute illustrations and how wonderfully the stamp sets coordinate with previously released products. The cute Christmas Boxcard that I’m sharing today has a blend of Holiday sets from present to past. 

I built this boxcard with mint colored cardstock and some patterned papers that have red, pink, green, and mint. For the background panel, I inkblended some pretty pink shades and splattered with water and white ink. Then I used the Layered Snowflake stencils  to create a pink and white blizzard which includes some  raised embossed snowflakes. 

I like to focus my coloring, to match with my papers, so that it all feels themed. I stamped many images from Happy Santa and Reindeer Friends. After coloring the images and using the coordinating die cuts to perfectly cut my images, I added small white dot highlights. I adhered my images throughout the layers of my boxcard making sure that none were completely hidden. Then I heat embossed some snowflakes on vellum and tucked them into the scene on skinny acetate strips so they look like actual snowfall. 

To finish off the boxcard, I used gold embossing powder for the scripty “Joy” sentiment from the new Pine Wreath stamp set (I love that it has a coordinating die!) and mounted it onto a white banner that reads “to the world” from an older Joy stamp set. I think the bright red cardstock really packs a punch for the front. 

Finally, I stamped my sentiment onto the back and added a few little details and one more reindeer to make this beautiful from all angles. I hope that you enjoy this festive and bright card, make sure that you visit the the PPP shop to see the incredible products and take advantage of all of the holiday deals!

Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Week

 

Hello Crafty Friends! I’m so excited to be participating in the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Theme Week. All of their products are so wonderfully illustrated and designed, that it is a breeze to pull multiple stamp sets, stencils and dies together to make the cutest cards and decor. I did just that for this bright and bold shaker boxcard. 

I stamped images from newer and older sets to build this scene. Halloween Pals, Ghost Friends, Halloween friends, and Giving Thanks to name a few. I always use the coordinating dies to achieve a clean and polished look to my images. 

Before assembling this card, I created a flat mesh shaker using the new Cauldron Shaker Die. I cut the shaker twice, added a few stamped images along with some glow in the dark mini stars and some clay confetti pieces from the Halloween Party Mix. I sandwiched a small piece of orange tulle mesh to make a flat shaker using 1/8 double sided tape. 

For the background I inkblended an orange ombré sky and used the Spooky Sky Stencil to ink the bats and emboss the clouds onto my Bristol cardstock. I gently splattered with water and black ink to distress and “spookify” the sky. 

I was excited to use up several pieces of patterned paper remnants, that I had in my stash, for each of the layers and side panels of the box. I adhered my images and shaker through the layers and even made sure to have some floating pieces using acetate strips. I finished this up by stamping a sentiment on the back and adding a final pumpkin. 

I hope you love this fun and spooky card and appreciate you stopping by to see how I created it. Now is the perfect time for you to stock up on your Halloween supplies at Pretty Pink Posh, all of the Halloween items are on sale so don’t miss out!

Mama Elephant Stamp Highlights Joyful Greeting

 Hello crafty friends! I’m so happy to be participating with the Mama Elephant team once again. Todays “Stamp Highlight” is the wonderful Holiday sentiment set called Joyful Greetings. This tasteful and pretty set is full of Christmas messages that would be perfect for the front of a card or even the inside message. Each sentiment has a coordinating die so you can place the sentiment over a busy background like I have with my “Jolly” card. 

I wanted a soft yet bold background for this gingerbread man filled card, so I used alcohol inks on white photo paper for a textured looking background. I created a postcard frame using the Postage Frame Creative Cuts and fit my inky background inside. I stamped and cut images from the Gingerbread Cookies Stamp set using brown ink soft pastel Christmas colors. 

I finished this card by stamping my “Joyful Greeting” with Taupe ink and centering in the top of my card. I really love the results and think that these sentiments will coordinate well with any holiday themed stamp set. 

Please make sure to head over to the Mama Elephant Blog to see the inspiration from the entire DT for all of the amazing new products. You won’t want to miss out on the sale and free item promotions!
