Easter Wishes – Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Everyone,

I am back today with a super cute Easter card, which I have created with the new release of Pretty Pink Posh. This card is part of a fun, 3 day long Instagram Hop – for all the details and prizes, visit my Instagram account.

First I stamped and coloured the images from the Leafy Spring Wreath and Spring Chick stamp sets. I used Copic markers, but stepped out of my comfort zone and picked colours which are not my go-to colours:

• wreath: G16, G02, G00
• chicks: E55, E53, E51, E50, Y38
• eggs: B06, B04, B02, B00, BG13. BG23, BG11, YG63, YG61, YG11
• ribbon: Y18, Y13, Y00

I cut everything out with their coordinating dies and while I was die cutting I also created the sentiment: I used the new Easter Wishes Shadow die. I cut the shadow from white cardstock and the sentiment itself from a pretty glitter green.

For the card base I chose kraft to match the chicks and to make the wreath stand out. Before popping up the chicks and ribbon with 3D foam squares I added a bundle of thin silver thread behind them as an extra touch.

I embellished the wreath with Flower Garden Clay Confetti Mix, it has the most adorable little clay flowers I have ever seen! I also added clear shimmer to the eggshells and used glossy accents on the ribbon, beaks and egg decoration.

I hope you got inspired o try new colour combos of your favourite colouring medium too and you hop on to Instagram to play along with us for precious prizes!

See you soon,

Pretty Pink Posh March Blog Hop

Hello Everyone,

I am thrilled to be part of the Pretty Pink Posh March release Blog Hop. This Spring release is just my favourite, I was so hungry for fresh, Spring designs! To celebrate the new release, we are having a 3 day Blog Hop, so it is worth to check the previous days on the Pretty Pink Posh Blog for eve more inspiration.

For my card I mixed and matched stamps from the new release and from older ones too to create a cute garden scene. I stamped and coloured the images from the Mouse Friends and Flower Garden stamp sets. I used Copic markers ad cut everything out with the coordinating dies.

Then I created a very simple, inked background by blending Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks directly on a white A2 sized card base. I made sure not to overlap the colours. I added some water droplets ad ink splatters for a more exciting, textured look. I love splattering!

I die cut the Happy Spring Shadow die from Magenta Glitter cardstock, but only the words without the shadow. It is so delicate and pretty! I adhered it to the top of my card using drops of liquid glue. I have a thin nozzle on my glue bottle which allows me to adhere intricate dies like a breeze.

Then I built the garden scene from all the die cut images. Some I adhered flat, some with 3D foam squares for a very dimensional look. Aren’t these gardening mice the cutest ever? I am amazed how well they coordinate with the new release.

As a finishing touch I added white gel pen highlights and used a black glaze pen on the noses, eyes and flower centers. I also added a bit of clear shimmer to some of the flowers as we can never have too much sparkle, right?

Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Release Blog Hop

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited to be part of the new release blog hop with Pretty Pink Posh! They are turning 9 this month and the we celebrate in style with a 4 days long blog hop. The new release is full of birthday themed stamps, dies and stencils, check them out!

For my card I used the Birthday Signs stamp set and stamped the cute crocodile and cupcakes on Neenah Solar White cardstock. I coloured the images with Copic markers and cut them out with their coordinating dies.

While I was die cutting I die cut also 2 tags using the Birthday Sentiments coordinating die set: one white and one aqua as I wanted to make them a see-through shaker tag. I covered the open areas with acetate and used thin foam strips to create a funnel which I filled with Citrus Mix jewels. I also added a decorative eyelet to the top and finished it off with twine. I adhered the croc and the cupcakes and my focal panel was ready!

For the background I used the new Layered Party Hats stencils on lime cardstock. For the first layer I used Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink, then for the second and third layers I used Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. I love the tone-on-tone look I got this way! To match the party hat of the crocodile, I used Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide for the little star layer, I think it really pops!

I wanted to add another sentiment, so I used the Large Celebrate Shadow die ad cut it from blue metallic cardstock. I wanted it to look as it is foiled, so I did not use the shadow die for it.

As a finishing touch I added a bit of clear shimmer to the party hat and cupcake holders, and added glossy accents tot he candle and the teeth of the croc.

Better Together – Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Everyone,

I have a fun little card to share with you today, which I made with supplies from Pretty Pink Posh. I am totally in love with layering stencils and I enjoy coming up with different colour combos for each, but I had another idea for the Layering Cherries stencil from their latest release. Let me show you!

First I did a quick ink blending on Neenah Solar white cardstock with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink. Then I used the first layer of the Layering Cherries stencil set with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink. I love this red colour, my absolute new favourite! I added a tiny bit of Aged Mahogany to the bottom of the cherries. For the stems I used Rustic Wilderness first and then realized that the cherry stems are rather brown, so I went back with Ground Espresso. This way the result is a brownish green, perfect for the pink background! For the leaves layer I used the same green but wanted to lighten them a little, so I went back with Twisted Citron. After removing the last layer I generously spritzed the panel with water from a mini mister and dabbed it off with a paper towel after 30 seconds.

In my head I visualized smiling cherries, so I added little faces to each using the Ghost Friends stamp set. As I had to ink up only the face of each ghost, I used a black Memento marker on the eyes and noses instead of an ink pad. It worked perfectly! I need to try this technique with sentiments too!

For the sentiment I chose the Love Sentiments stamp set, and simply stamped the text in the middle using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I trimmed the panel down tiny and gave it a dark red mat before adhering to a top folding A2 sized card base.

As a finishing touch I used some little white clay hearts from the Valentine’s Day Mix.

I wish you enjoyed this cute design and you will try this technique.

See you soon,

Pretty Pink Posh January Release IG Hop

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited to be part of the January Instagram Hop with Pretty Pink Posh. Grab a cup of tea or coffee, head over to my INSTGRAM and hop with us.

For my card I used the cute Potted Roses and Heart Critters set together. I love how these sets are designed to coordinate! I stamped the roses 4 times and the cute panda once, coloured them with Copic markers and cut them out with their coordinating dies.

The Copic colours I used are:

• roses: RV25, RV23, RV21, G46, G14, G12,
• panda: W9, W7, W4, W1, W00.

Then I die cut a Scalloped Diamond Tag from light grey cardstock and created a frame from the roses. I popped up the panda in the middle with 3D foam squares. I used my Cropadile to add an eyelet to the top and finished it with a black and white twine.

I chose a pretty patterned paper from the Doodlebug Sweet Things paper pad and popped up the tag with 3D foam squares. The sentiment is from the Potted Roses Stamp set: I white heat embossed it on dark grey cardstock and cut it out with its coordinating die. I love when handwritten sentiments have coordinating dies, I would never be able to fussy cut it that neatly.

I decided to add another white embossed sentiment from the same set, just this time I chose pink cardstock.

As a finishing touch I used a few Pink Blush pearls around the tag, emphasized the eyes of the panda with a black glaze pen and added a drop of glossy accents to the nose. So cute, isnt it?

Then I created an elegant tone-on-tone background: I die cut the Pretty Petals background die from white cardstock and adhered it to an A2 sized notecard. I love the texture it gives!

I also die cut the Large Hugs Shadow die from gold glitter cardstock and the shadow piece from black cardstock. It really gives a nice contrast and helps the sentiment to pop out. I also white heat embossed the second part of the sentiment from the Potted Roses stamp set on red cardstock and cut it down to be a tiny strip.

I popped up the roses with 3D foam squares and adhered the sentiments. As a finishing touch I used a clear shimmer pen and added a couple of Sparkling clear gems.

Happy Holidays and an exciting news!

Hello Everyone,

After a little break I am back to crafting again and I am super excited to announce that I am joining the Pretty Pink Posh Social Media Design Team for the next half a year! I think I am dreaming, I am so honored and touched to be asked to join such a wonderful team! For the occasion I created a pretty holiday card combining new and older sets together.

First I stamped the images from Poinsettia Corners and Holiday Envelopes and coloured them with Copic markers. The colours I used are:

• leaves – G85, G24. G21
• holy berry – G28, G46, E34, E21
• poinsettia – R39, R37, R35
• envelope – W4, W1, W0, W00
• pinecone – E39, E37, E34

I added some extra shading with coloured pencils and also some white pencil highlights and cut everything out with their coordinating dies. For the background I used the Christmas Background stencil with Distress Mica Stain (Fresh Balsam) just to get a little texture and pattern. I have never used mica stain before but it is so easy and looks beautiful that I am totally hooked! I want to spray every stencil I have!

When the panel was dry, I trimmed it to e slightly smaller than a A2 sized card front and added a dark green mat to it. I stamped a sentiment from the Holiday Greetings set in black on the top and popped up the envelope with 3D foam squares. I embellished it with the smaller images and the big poinsettia on the front.

As a finishing touch I used a Sakura Clear glitter pen on the berries and also added a drop of glossy accents to them. So elegant and pretty, I hope you like it too!

Thanks so much for sharing this joyful news with me and I hope you will continue to follow me on my crafty journey next year as well. I am so grateful to have you here and wish to bring a smile to your face with my cards in 2023 too.

See you soon,

Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Theme Week Inspiration

Hello Everyone,

Did you know that Pretty Pink Posh is having a Holiday Theme week al week long? I am super excited to participate in the festivities! I love to make Christmas cards and mixing old with new, this is how this cute scene was born in my head. And because I love to dress up the presents, I also created a coordinating tag!

I started with stamping and colouring the images from Happy Santa and Reindeer Friends. I used Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and cut everything out with their coordinating dies.

Then I did some ink blending on Bristol Smooth cardstock with Distress Oxide inks: Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch and Salty Ocean. I spritzed the panels with water and dabbed it off with a paper towel. Then I used the Snowfall stencil and white texture paste to create a night background with snow.

While it was drying I did some die cutting: I needed a snowbank from white glitter cardstock and also a sentiment. I chose the Merry Christmas script, cut it from gold glitter cardstock and once more from black and layered them on top of each other tiny offset, so it looks like it has a shadow. It helps the sentiment stand out.

When the background was dry, I cut it down to be a bit smaller than an A2 sized card front and adhered it to a top folding card base. I assembled the scene and popped up Santa with 3D foam squares.

As a finishing touch I used a clear shimmer pen on the furry parts of Santa’s costume, glossy accents on the ribbon and reindeer noses, and added some highlights with a white gel pen.

For the tag I used the Decorative Tag 1 die set, and did the same steps as above. I punched a hole on the top and added a thick red and white twine to it.

Don’t forget that all items in the Christmas section are 15% off during theme week!

I wish you enjoyed my project and you will pop in again soon.

See you,

Winter Wishes – Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Everyone,

I cannot believe that it is the last day of November today and from tomorrow it is December…officially winter is here. With the cold weather I definitely want to stay inside more and just craft. But if the snow comes we definitely will look for the winter gloves and go out for a sleigh ride with the kids. I wish I have colourful ones like these on my card!

I wanted to try the Layered Mittens Stencil from Pretty Pink Posh on grey cardstock, so I used Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks for the first layer. Then for the patterns, I went a shade darker: Peacock Feathers, Villainous Potion and Blueprint Sketch.

I used a white puff stencil paste for the last layer and heated it with my heat tool. I love how fluffy it gets when heated!

I really didn’t want to cover up the pattern, but needed a strip of white cardstock to hold the sentiment. I die cut the Winter Wishes die from blue glitter cardstock, adhered it to the white strip and have it an aqua mat. I used 3D foam squares to pop it up for extra dimension.

I wish you love this cool and simple design and will try it in different colours. I cannot wait to make the yellow-pink-orange version of this!

See you soo with more winter cards,

Zsofi

Grateful – Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all who celebrate, had a lovely Thanksgiving and spent some wonderful time with your beloved ones. Thanksgiving is not a holiday in Hungary, but it doesn’t mean I cannot feel gratitude daily for all the blessings I have: loving family, supporting husband, food on our table, and difficulties which we are able to handle. I am also so thankful for our crafty community, the kind words I get from you. Thank you for joining me on this creative journey! To celebrate, I have a cute set to show you: a card and coordinating tag, which is perfect on its own for a little note of kindness. I used Pretty Pink Posh goodies to create them.

First I stamped and coloured the PPP Fall envelopes and a few extra sunflowers using Spectrum Noir Illustrator and Classique markers: EB7, EB5, EB3, RB2, GB5, CT4, CT2, CG3, CG2, CG05, GB3, GB1, GB05, GY05. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

For the card I created my own patterned paper on a kraft cardstock strip: I stamped the sunflower image from Fall Envelopes several times with brown hybrid ink, and used the same colours as above to bring them to life. I love how the colours are muted on kraft cardstock, I need to do this more often. I did dome brown ink blending on the edges for a vintage look, I gave it a brown and a green mat and adhered it to a white A2 sized note card.

I mounted the envelope in the middle with 3D foam squares and added a stacked Grateful Script sentiment. The last layer I cut from green glitter cardstock and adhered on top. It looks like chipboard, so pretty! I also stamped a “for you” sentiment from the Simple sentiment stamp set under it, with brown ink.

I embellished the card with a few Pistachio Pearls, used a clear shimmer pen on the middle of the flowers and added glossy accents too, to make them shiny.

For the tag I created a card base from folded cardstock and the Fall envelopes coordinating die. So easy and looks super cute. I cannot wait to make more of this for even lunch box notes for the kids. I used a Thanks Script die for the sentiment, cut it from the same green glitter cardstock as above, so they match.

I wish you liked my inspiration today and will pop in again tomorrow for more!

See you,

Zsofi
