Pretty Pink Posh - Beach Fun!

 



Hello there and thanks for joining me on my blog today for my final card for Pretty Pink Posh's June release.  My card today features the new Beach Fun stamp sets which of course has coordinating dies.

I started by taking a panel of white cardstock and I used masking tape and Distress Oxide Inks in Salvaged Patin (sky), Salty Ocean (water) and Tea Dye (sand) to create a subtle beach appearance.




I glued this background to  my card base and then I found a white die cut frame in my stash that was left over from another project but which in this application, creates a simple focal point.  I glued it in place.

I stamped some of the images from 'Beach Fun' in black ink and I coloured with Copic markers:-

Red - R39, R29, R2, R24, R05
Blue - B24, B23, B32, B21
White - C3, C1, C0, C00

I highlighted with a white gel pen and backed each element with foam tape and applied to the background.




I finished the card simply with the addition of a few sparkling clear sequins and I stamped and applied the sentiment.

Many thanks for coming over to read about this card.  Happy crafting friends!

Pretty Pink Posh - Seashell Border

 



Welcome to my blog and a new card for Pretty Pink Posh that uses products from their fun June release.  In creating this card I have used the following products:-


I took a panel of white cardstock and over this I glued die cuts created using the new Seashell Border Die and which I had ink blended using, Tea Dye, Saltwater Taffy, Salvaged Patine, Scattered Straw and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Inks.




I framed out the pretty background with a white die cut frame that was created using a die from my stash. This was applied with foam tape.

I next die cut white cardstock using one of the dies from the Sandcastle Shaker Die and I ink blended with Salvaged Patina to give it it's minty colour and I applied with foam tape.

Around the sandcastle I added shells and a starfish from the Seashell Border Die which along with the borders has individual dies too.  I adhered these in place with foam tape.




To finish the card I stamped the sentiments from the Seashells stamp set, I die cut the main sentiment and both were applied with more foam tape.

A few sparkling clear sequins in different sizes completed this cheerful beachy card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Pretty Pink Posh - Seashell Shaker Card

 



Hello!  Welcome to my blog where I'm sharing the details for this card which I'm featuring on Pretty Pink Posh's Instagram Hop today.  I have used the following products:-

Seashells Stamp Set (sentiment & die)

To kick things off I took a white panel of cardstock and I used to nesting rectangles dies from my stash to create the 2 part frame.  I used the same dies with mint cardstock to create the skinny mint border.  I glued the two part frame to the card base and then with the main panel I used the Shell Background Stencil to ink blend the design.  I used Salty Ocean, Salvaged Patina and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks to do this and I used a lighter touch as worked towards to the top right hand corner.




I used the Seashell Shaker die to create the shaker unit.  I ink blended the background die cut with Cracked Pistachio and then I filled with it with the Beach Town Mix before sealing the formed shaker.  I glued this to the background at an angle.




I stamped and die cut the sentiment from the Seashells Stamp Set.  I applied this with foam tape to pop it up and then the simple finishing touch was the addition of a few sparkling clear sequins in different sizes.

Thanks for coming by - happy crafting!

Pretty Pink Posh - Sandcastle Shaker Card

 



Welcome to my blog and a new card for Pretty Pink Posh showcasing their brand new release which went live yesterday.  Today, my card uses the following new products:-

Beach Fun stamp set (sentiment only)

I took a panel of which cardstock and ink blended a soft sky using a very light touch with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink.  I glued this to  my cards base.  I then took a second panel of cardstock and I used the Shoreline Borders Die to create sand and water.  I ink blended with Tea Dye and Peacock Feathers and then glued to the background panel.  I added interest with gel pens.




Time to create the Sandcastle shaker using the new die.  I stacked the various die cuts and glued in stacks, finishing with acetate and one more die cut which I ink blended to match the sand.  I added strips of foam and filled with the new Summer Fun Shaker Beads before sealing it close with the acetate and the final frame on top.  I glued the shaker unit to the background.




I finished the card by stamping the sentiment in my Misti.

Pretty Pink Posh - Layered Coral Stencil Set

 



Hello friends, welcome to my blog and my first card for Pretty Pink Posh's brand new June release which is available for purchase starting today!  I have SIX cards to share with you over the next 10 days or so and so I encourage you to look out for them.

To make this card I've used the following products:-


I took a white panel of cardstock and I used the two part Layered Coral Stencil Set to create the background.  I used Distress Oxide Inks to achieve this and I used the following combinations:-

Spiced Marmalade, Dried Marigold
Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire
Twisted Citron, Bundled Sage, Rustic Wilderness
Shaded Lilac, Seedless Preserves
Picked Raspberry
Abandoned Coral, Dried Marigold




I took this panel and ran it through my Big Shot and used the Chevron Pierced Plate die to give it the zigzag design.  I die cut a frame using a die from my personal stash, I applied this popped up on dimensional foam tape.

Next step was to use the Stitched Coral Die to create the group of coral that I ink blended using colours listed above and which I applied to the lower corner popped up on foam tape to create more dimension.




I then tackled the Good Vibes sentiment.  I die cut both the shadow and the words from sturdy white cardstock.  I applied the shadow to the background with foam tape and I ink blended the words in a rainbow style.  I then glued the ink blended words to the shadow and I applied 'Glossy Accents' glue to the surface of the words to give it a dimensional shine.

A few sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh completed this colourful card.

Simon Says Stamp - Moments In Time Release

 





I have a new card today for Simon Says Stamp that features products from their Moments In Time release.  My card today features their new Snake Plant Stencil, Snake Plant Die, Swiss Dots stamp set and Tiny Words Birthday sentiment stamp set.

I took a white cardstock panel and used the Swiss Dots stamp set together with metallic gold ink and stamped.  This panel was adhered to a kraft cardstock panel and then to a slightly larger white card base.




I used the Snake Plant Stencil set to create the Snake Plant image.  I used Rustic Wilderness, Twisted Citron and Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend all the different areas.  I die cut with the coordinating die and applied it to the card popped up on dimensional foam tape.




For the sentiment I used the word 'Relax' which comes with the Snake Plant Die.  I die cut the shadow twice from heavy weight vellum and then die cut the word 'relax' several times from white cardstock and then used Copic markers to the top of the stack to produce and ombré look.  This was adhered to the card and underneath I tucked 'enjoy your day' which was taken from the Tiny Words Birthday stamp set.

A few water droplet style embellishments finished this project which would be a nice accompaniment to a spa gift card or something of that nature.

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy crafting.

Simon Says Stamp - Moments In Time Release

 






Welcome to my blog and a new card featuring products from the recent 'Moments In Time' Release by Simon Says Stamp.  My card today features the new Floral Bunches Embossing Folder together with the new Giggle Hello Die.

I took a panel of pretty pink cardstock.  I misted it lightly with water before placing it into the Floral Bunches Embossing Folder and running it through my Big Shot.




I decided to add colour to the design using the following Copic markers:-

Leaves & Stems - G00, G000, G0000
Flowers - RV02, RV00, Y13

I then came in with a white Prisma Color pencil and added white to the centre of each open flower and then after that I came in with a white gel pen and dotted in some interest in the area where the stamens would be.  Doing this is more affective than you might think!

I applied the panel to my card base and framed it out in the same pink cardstock.




I used the Giggle Hello Die to create the sentiment.  It comes in two parts but you don't have to use the shadow die for the background but I chose to for this project.  I die cut the shadow once in pink and then three additional times in white and glued them in a stack.  I then die cut the word Hello from mirrored silver cardstock and glued it to the shadow and then the whole thing was adhered to the background.

A few sparkling clear sequins completed this elegant, multi occasion friendly card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy crafting friends.
