Hello crafty friends! Today I am excited to share a card featuring the Pretty Pink Posh Hugs stamps and dies. I just fell in love with this set from the moment I saw the sneak peek. It’s so fun and happy! It’s also got a million variations of how you can use it.

Today I stamped the main “hugs” sentiment and some supporting images in gray ink for a softer look. I used copic markers to color everything and then the coordinating dies to cut it all out. Then, for fun I played around with the letters and decided to try arranging them in a grid instead of a line. I think this is a fun, different look.

For the background, I took a white panel and inked up the Trellis stencil with teal ink. I removed the stencil and used the leftover ink on my brush to lightly ink the edges of the panel. Then I cut a gray strip 5.5 x 3 inches and inked the edges with gray for a little dimension. I flicked pearl watercolor over the trellis panel and the top and bottom edges of the gray panel before adhering them together with foam tape.

Next, I cut the hugs letters from white cardstock 4 more times and adhered the layers together before adding them to the gray panel. Then I added the extra images with a combination of foam squares and liquid glue.

I am completely smitten with the way this whole design turned out. From the block of letters to the softer gray tones instead of black. There is so many small changes that made a big impact and I just love it!

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by today. I have been making lots of Easter cards lately and had an interactive idea pop in my head that I was very excited to try. I have a bunch of Pretty Pink Posh Easter themed products that I hadn’t inked up yet and this was the perfect opportunity to play with them.

I wanted to take this adorable basket die and turn it into a pop up card full of Easter eggs and goodies! To start, I stamped and colored images from Spring Eggs and Bunny Friends with my copic markers. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and set the images aside.

Here’s an aerial view of the card standing up so you can see what I did. I cut 2 sets of basket pieces from kraft cardstock and the trim from white. I ink blended the pieces for some dimension and interest, and then assembled those with liquid glue. Next, I took I strip of kraft cardstock and cut it to 1×5 1/2 inches and scored it at a 1/4, 2 1/4, 3 1/4, and 5 1/4 inches. I adhered the 1/4 inch flaps together to create a box. Next, I took a 2 1/2 inch strip and scored it at 1/4 inch from each side and inserted it in the middle of the box, adhering the flaps to the box sides. Then I glued one basket on each side of the box.

Next, I arranged the eggs in a trio and glued them together. I took another three eggs and arranged them the same way and glued them to the back of the first three, only at the top half. So things didn’t shift while I was manipulating them, I let the eggs dry a few minutes before adding glue inside the bottom half of them and sliding them onto the center of the box we created in the last step.

The Spring Eggs set has eight eggs so I had two left which I glued to the front of each side of the basket with a bunny on each side too. To finish things off I added a bow to the top of each side.

This card folds flat to fit in an envelope to mail and pops up to stand perfectly when it comes out! And because it’s symmetrical, both sides are decorated and pretty so it can sit out as a decoration. I think they would be super cute on the dinner table at each place setting or on a mantle of decorations too!

Happy weekend everyone! I’m popping in with a couple of fun Christmas cards featuring some Pretty Pink Posh goodies I had ordered a while ago but had yet to ink up. Shame, shame! Haha! Anyway, they are having a sale on the Christmas section of the store so I’ll have affiliate links below if you’re feeling inspired at all.

Any of the stamp sets out there where a critter is holding a sign and I get to put a sentiment in it…I’m a huge fan of! Totally drawn to them and want them all. Soooo, I had to get this adorable Christmas set – Holiday Signs. Today I stamped a couple of them and colored them with my copic markers. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I had a couple of cards sketched out already so I just set to work with more die cutting and ink blending. Let’s look at the Santa one first.

Pretty Pink Posh has a line of dies that cut out scenes like the winter scene on this card, and I just love them! Today I cut the pieces from colored and glitter cardstock and adhered them to a plain white circle for stability.

Next, I took a dark blue panel and cut to A2 size before using the lattice stencil with a blending brush and white pigment ink. I splattered the panel with pearl watercolor and started assembling everything. The stenciled panel went on a card base, then the winter scene was popped up with foam tape and the Santa was adhered with a combo of liquid glue and a foam square to keep him flat.

So sweet, right!?! I just love how this one turned out! Next up, the super fun snowman!

For this card, I die cut the Merry Christmas Script form red cardstock, lost the dot on the “i” and freaked out for a minute. I set it aside and proceeded with my card. Next, I used the coordinating dies for the Spring Circles set (I love this shape!) from plaid cardstock and light blue.

Moving on to the background before assembling every, I inked up a white panel with distress oxide ink in tumbled glass around the outside and salty ocean in the center so it gets a bit darker. I spritzed the panel with water and flicked pearl watercolor on it too.

For assembly, I added foam tape to the back of the blue panel and popped it up on a white card base, then I popped up the other elements with foam squares. I used liquid glue to adhere the Merry Christmas Script die cuts and then contemplated die cutting another dot when I remembered that I have the beautiful Pretty Pink Posh pearl collection! I pulled out the red pearls and glued one on instead!

For finishing touches on both of these cards, I used glossy accents, on parts like Santa’s boots and gloves, the snowman’s nose and hat. Then I added unicorn Stickles to Santa’s hat and finished things off with black glaze pen on both of their eyes.

Hey friends! Last weekend I got my most recent Pretty Pink Posh release order and could not wait to play! I inked up those sweet Cozy Fall Critters and colored my heart out! Then I had to play with the new Leaves Background stencil too! After I inked up a large panel with the stencil I cut it down for my first card which left me with a good size strip left and I couldn’t just waste it so I made another card to share too!

Aren’t these cards just too fun!?! I love how they turned out! The one on the right was the first and the one on the left was the second one I created. Getting two fantastic cards out of one background is so rewarding and kind of fun to challenge myself to do too!

For this card, I popped the stenciled panel up with foam tape and added a strip of gold glitter paper to the edge. Then I popped the images up with foam squares before finishing things off with white gel pen accents and glossy accents too!

I’ll admit I didn’t plan for a sentiment on this so when I finally decided to add it, I popped the whole card in my MISTI, removing the foam insert so it was flat enough to stamp on, and stamped it that way.

Keeping to the same theme with this card, the stenciled panel is popped up again and the same gold glitter cardstock was added to the edge. I popped the images up to the same level as the stenciled panel and stamped my sentiment in the top right corner this time.

I used the same white gel pen accents and glossy accents for this sweet card as well.
