Pretty Pink Posh - Hummingbird Floral Shadow Box

jeudi 26 février 2026

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this lovely Pretty Pink Posh Shadow Box showcasing the absolutely gorgeous hummingbirds and flowers from Hummingbird Floral. What a stunning set, I love it so much! I've made this card last year, when the hummingbird themed items were released, but somehow I had totally forgotten about it. So it's about time to finally share it with you guys!


It was my first time using the Shadow Box, so I started off right away with it, and cut two main panels out of light brown woodgrain cardstock. I added a little bit of vintage photo distress ink to the edges of each panel, mixed some of that ink with water and added brown splatters all over the panels with a slim brush, and then did the same with white ink.


While both of my Shadow Box panels were drying, I created the background of my box, cut a 4 x 3 inches kraft panel, added some texture to this panel using the Scallops Pierced plate, and then created a floral pattern using the Layered Blooming Vines stencil set along with saltwater taffy, fossilized amber and spiced marmalade oxide inks for the flowers, mowed lawn oxide ink for the greenery, and broken china oxide ink for the small polka dots.

I also cut two grass borders out of green cardstock using other dies from the Shadow Box die set, added a little bit of mowed lawn distress ink to the pointy edges to darken the borders, mixed that same ink with water and added green splatters to each grass border, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I assembled my Shadow Box, attached the floral panel to the background on the inside using liquid glue, and stuck my grass borders as well. And I wanted to add a decorative frame to the front of my box, so, still using dies from the Shadow Box die set, I cut a scalloped rectangle out of a yellow pattern paper, cut a large opening out of this yellow panel, and then attached my scalloped frame to the box using liquid glue.


I stamped all the images on kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used the coordinating dies to cut them, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers. Here is a small detailed list of the stamp sets I used :  Hummingbird Floral - hummingbird, large orange flowers, floral clusters, small pink flowers, greenery  Simple Thanks - large greenery, small yellow flowers


Once everything was colored, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. Next I attached the images inside the Shadow Box, directly to the grass inserts using foam squares, as well as on the outside of the box, most of them on the front, but I also added a small floral cluster on each side of the box for more cuteness. Finally, I white heat embossed "You're an amazing friend" from Friend Greetings on brown cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and attached it inside the box, directly to the background, using 1mm foam squares.

Pretty Pink Posh - Spring Chick Shaker Card

lundi 23 février 2026

Hey there,

I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this bright and cheerful card featuring some of the brand new items from the Pretty Pink Posh February 2026 release. As I've already mentioned in previous blog posts, I'm a huge fan of the Shaker Collection, and that Chick Shaker caught my attention right away, it's such a cutie!


I started off by cutting a large Pinking Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I masked the stitched edges off with washi tape, covered the whole panel with tumbled glass oxide ink, and then added a fun pattern using the Mini Checker stencil along with broken china oxide ink. Next I mixed copic opaque white ink with water, added white splatters to my panel using a slim brush, and then did the same with tumbled glass distress spritz for some sparkles.


While my panel was drying, I worked on my Chick Shaker and assembled it just like any other shaker item I've made in the past, following those steps:
1. I cut a Chick Shaker frame out of a multicolored stripe pattern paper, cut a whole chick out of acetate, and attached that acetate panel at the back of the multicolored frame using liquid glue,
2. Still at the back of the multicolored frame, I attached foam strips all around it, following the rounded edges of the chick,
3. I poured a bunch of Bunny Hop shaker beads inside the chick,
4. I cut another whole chick out of a yellow pattern paper, added white splatters and fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to that yellow panel,
5. When dry, I attached my yellow panel to the foam strips to totally close my Chick Shaker.

Next I added a few more details to my Chick Shaker. I cut two small hearts out of pink cardstock using a Valentine Bucket Additions die, cut the beak and feet out of orange cardstock using other Chick Shaker dies, and picked two giant googly eyes from my stash. I stuck the beak and the heart cheeks using 1mm foam squares, peeled the backing papers off the eyes and attached them as well, and then stuck the feet using liquid glue. For more cuteness, I applied glossy accents to the beak and feet, white blizzard nuvo drops to the heart cheeks, and set my Chick Shaker aside to dry.


I cut all the Stitched Spring Flowers out of colored cardstock and pattern papers, added texture to each piece using liquid stardust, copic opaque white ink, fossilized amber distress spritz, and when everything was dry, I assembled all the flowers and greenery using foam squares.

Next I cut a Pierced Leafy Vines panel out of kraft cardstock, stuck it to a matching card base using double sided sticky tape, and attached my Mini Checker panel on top using 1mm foam tape. I stuck my Stitched Spring Flowers on both sides of the card in a symmetrical way using foam squares again, gave them more interest by bending the petals a little bit with my fingers, and then attached my cute Chick Shaker right in the middle of the card using more foam squares. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Bright Spring Wishes" from Easter Banner Greetings, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 3 die, and stuck that banner to the Chick Shaker using foam squares.

Pretty Pink Posh - Watering Can Shaker Card

jeudi 12 février 2026

Hi there,

I'm super happy to be back with this lovely Spring card showcasing several items from the Pretty Pink Posh February 2026 Release. A fun and colorful shaker card that makes you feel that Spring has finally arrived!


I started off by working on the card base and cut a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I masked the stitched and eyelet edges off with washi tape and covered the entire panel with spun sugar oxide ink. Next I used Layered Watering Can stencil set along with broken china, shaded lilac, mowed lawn, worn lipstick, spiced marmalade and fossilized amber oxide inks to create a lovely background. This background ends up mostly covered by all the elements on the card, but it still adds colors and cuteness behind the bunny, watering can and flowers.

I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over the panel. I did the same with worn lipstick distress spritz and then with spiced marmalade distress spritz for a touch of sparkles. I removed the washi tape, let my panel dry, and then attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches blue panel using 1mm foam tape.


Next I worked on the Watering Can Shaker, and build it like any of the other Pretty Pink Posh Shakers I've created in the past:

1. First I cut a Watering Can Shaker frame out of a multicolored stripe pattern paper,
2. I cut a whole watering can out of vellum, and attached it at the back of the frame using liquid glue,
3. Still at the back of the frame, I attached foam sticky strips all along the frame, following the shape of the watering can,
4. I poured a bunch of Bunny Hop shaker beads on the vellum,
5. I cut another whole watering can out of the same blue cardstock as the card base, and attached it to the foam strips to totally close my Watering Can Shaker,
6. I cut the watering can handle out of purple cardstock, added white splatters to it, and once dry, stuck it to my Watering Can Shaker using 1mm foam squares,
7. Finally I cut the watering can head out of the same blue cardstock again, added white splatters to it, and stuck it using 1mm foam squares.


Next I cut all the bits and pieces I needed to complete my card out of colored cardstock, white cardstock, pattern papers and vellum. I added white splatters to the tulips, leaves, branches, butterflies, bunny, paws and bows. Added liquid stardust splatters to the daisies, vellum butterflies and bows. Added fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to the daisies center pieces, and vintage photo distress spritz splatters to the butterflies bodies. Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used:

 Stitched Spring Flowers - tulips, daisies, leaves, branches  Springtime Holder Additions - butterflies  Bunny Holder - bunny  Bear Holder - bunny snout  Big Easter Cupcake - bunny paws  Valentine Bucket Additions - heart cheeks  Easter Bunny Mugs - bows.

I assembled the flowers, leaves and butterflies using foam squares and liquid glue, assembled the bunny's face and gave him a pair of googly eyes, and then I attached everything to my card using foam squares, starting with the flowers behind the bunny, next the bunny, the Watering Can Shaker, the Stitched Spring Flowers cluster at the bottom, the butterflies and then the bunny's paws.

I white heat embossed "Hello Spring" from Spring Blooms on yellow cardstock, cut it using the matching die and attached it to the watering can using foam squares again. To finish my card, I applied glossy accents to the bunny's nose and white blizzard nuvo drops to the heart cheeks.

Pretty Pink Posh - Chick Holder & Springtime Holder Additions Rainy Card

lundi 9 février 2026

Hello there,

I'm super happy to be back with this adorable Spring card showcasing Pretty Pink Posh products, mostly from the February 2026 Release. This card features the cutest little chick taking care of his tulips and daisies on a rainy day, but lucky him, he has a lovely pink umbrella to keep his feathers dry.


I started off by creating the rainy background, and cut a 5,5 inches square panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I temporarily taped the center piece of the Watercolor Circle stencil set right in the middle of my panel using rolled-up pieces of washi tape, applied shaded lilac oxide ink to the edges of my panel, and darkened the inside edges a little bit by applying some wilted violet oxide ink.

I removed the center piece of the Watercolor Circle stencil set, temporarily taped the edge piece of the stencil set, applied tumbled glass oxide ink in the center of my panel, and then removed the stencil.

Next I taped the Raindrops stencil on top of my panel, and added raindrops using wilted violet oxide on the purple edges and broken china oxide ink on the middle section of my panel. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water, added white splatters all over the panel, and did the same with liquid stardust. And then I did the same on the purple section with wilted violet distress spritz and the same again on the blue section with tumbled glass distress spritz. When my panel was dry, I attached it to a 4,75 inches square white card base using 1mm foam tape.


I cut all the bits and pieces out of white cardstock, vellum, colored cardstock and pattern papers. I added white splatters to the chick, umbrella, vellum clouds, tulips, daisies center pieces, leaves and flowerpots, added liquid stardust splatters to the white clouds, light pink umbrella pieces and daisies, and added fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to the daisies center pieces. I let everything dry, and then assembled all the elements using 1mm foam squares.

Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used:  Chick Holder - chick, beak, feet  Springtime Holder Additions - umbrella, flowers, leaves, flowerpots  Stitched Clouds - clouds  Bunny Holder - chick belly  Valentine Bucket Additions - heart cheeks.


I gave the chick a pair of large googly eyes, and then attached everything to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Spring Has Sprung" from Easter Banner Greetings on blue cardstock, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 3 die, and attached that banner to my card using foam squares again. Finally I applied glossy accents to the chick's beak and feet, and white blizzard nuvo drops to his heart cheeks.

[VIDEO HOP] Pretty Pink Posh - February 2026 Release - Decorative Easter Egg

jeudi 5 février 2026


Hello there,

Today's card is part of the Pretty Pink Posh February 2026 Release Video Hop, so make sure to scroll down to the end of this post and check the process video for more details about this hop.

This new release is perfect to create the prettiest Spring themed cards and cutest Easter themed cards, what an amazing release it is! I went for a mix & match of brand new items to make this bright and colorful Easter card.


I started off by cutting a large Pinking Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I masked the stitched edges off and created a rainbow background using oxide inks, from top to bottom: kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, tumbled glass and shaded lilac. Next I taped the Mini Checker stencil on top of my panel, and used darker shades of oxide inks to create a tone on tone look, from top to bottom: worn lipstick, spiced marmalade, fossilized amber, mowed lawn, broken china and wilted violet. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters all over my panel with a slim brush, I did the same with liquid stardust and then the same again with fossilized amber distress spritz. I peeled the washi tape off the edges of my panel, and set it aside to dry.


Next I worked on the Decorative Easter Egg. First, I used the intricate die multiple times to cut all the tiny shapes out of different colored cardstock and pattern paper. Next I cut the front piece out of a yellow pattern paper, and added white splatters and fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to it. I cut three identical "middle" pieces out of white cardstock, and cut the base piece out of white cardstock. I attached one of the "middle" pieces to the base using liquid glue, and then stuck all the tiny pieces inside each space using liquid glue again. I attached the two remaining "middle" pieces on top of my panel, and finally the front piece, still using liquid glue.

To decorate the top and bottom of my card, I used the Stitched Spring Flowers die set, and cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock and pattern papers. I added white splatters to every pieces but the daisies, added liquid stardust splatters to the tulips and daisies, and added fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to the daisies center pieces. And when everything was dry, I assembled the tulips, daisies and leaves using 1mm foam squares.


Next I started to assemble my card. I cut a Chevron Pierced panel out of kraft cardstock and attached it to a matching card base using double sided sticky tape. On top I stuck my rainbow Pinking Rectangle panel using 1mm foam tape. I cut a Stitched Torn Rectangle panel out of vellum and attached it to my rainbow background to tone it down a bit, and then stuck my Decorative Easter Egg on top using 1mm foam squares.


Above and below the Decorative Easter Egg, I attached my Stitched Spring Flowers in a symmetrical way using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and next I worked on my greeting. Using the Large Easter Shadow die set, I cut the shadow element out of vellum, cut the word "Easter" three times out of dark kraft cardstock, glued those three words on top of each other to get dimension, and then attached the whole word to the shadow piece using liquid glue.

I white heat embossed "Joyful Easter Wishes" from Easter Banner Greetings on the same kraft cardstock as the card base, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 3 die, and attached both of my greeting elements to the egg using foam squares. Finally, I applied glossy accents to "Easter" to make it pop a little bit more against the colorful background.
