Pretty Pink Posh - Floral Wreath & Bunny Kisses

lundi 9 mars 2026

Hey there,

I'm back with this cute and pretty card showcasing a beautiful floral wreath and a cheeky bunny ready to properly celebrate the arrival of Spring. Obviously, here I put flowers in my wreath to create a Spring themed card, but you definitely could replace them with Easter eggs for a cute and fun Easter themed card. The Pretty Pink Posh die collection is so diverse that the possibilities are endless!


I started off by cutting a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I covered the stitched edges with washi tape and then applied spun sugar oxide ink all over the panel. To match with the Spring theme, I used the Layered Blooming Vines stencil set to create a beautiful floral pattern on my light pink panel. For the greenery I applied rustic wilderness oxide ink, for the flowers I applied worn lipstick oxide ink and for the small dots I applied fossilized amber oxide ink. Next I splattered water on my panel and dried it with a piece of paper towel, I mixed vintage photo distress ink with water and added brown splatters to my panel with a slim brush, and I did the same with copic opaque white ink. When my panel was dry, I attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light brown woodgrain panel using 1mm foam tape, and then to a white card base using double sided sticky tape.


I cut the wreath out of green cardstock using the Floral Wreath Builder die set. In the end we can see it, and that was the point, I just needed it as a base to glue all the leaves. Speaking of which, I cut them all out of two different pattern papers: a green stripes pattern paper and a green plaid pattern paper. I added white splatters to each of them and when they were dry, I attached them to my wreath base using liquid glue. To add more interest to my wreath, I used the same die as the one I used to cut the base to cut another wreath out of vellum, I added white splatters to it, and then stuck it to my leafy wreath using liquid glue. Next I used the ring die from the Floral Wreath Builder die set to cut a ring out of the same light brown woodgrain cardstock as the card base, added vintage photo distress ink splatters to the ring, and then attached it on top of the vellum wreath using liquid glue. This ring is mostly covered by the flowers but we still can see it between the bunny's paws.

Still using the Floral Wreath Builder die set, I cut the flowers and started with the pink ones: I cut the large petals out of a pink cross pattern paper, the small petals out of light pink cardstock and the pistils out of yellow cardstock. I added white splatters to the petals and pistils, liquid stardust splatters only to the light pink petals, and fossilized amber distress spritz splatters only to the pistils. I let them dry and assembled them using 1mm foam squares. For the daisies, I cut the petals out of white cardstock and the pistils out of yellow cardstock. I added liquid stardust splatters only to the white petals, and white splatters and fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to the pistils. Again I let them dry and assembled them with 1mm foam squares. I also cut three branches out of dark kraft cardstock and added white splatters to each of them.


Next I cut the bunny pieces using dies from the Big Easter Cupcake die set. I cut the bunny's behind and paws out of light kraft cardstock, and cut the tail and paw pads out of white cardstock. I added vintage photo distress ink splatters to the light kraft pieces, liquid stardust splatters to the tail pieces, and then assembled the paws using liquid glue and the fluffy tail using a 1mm foam square.

I cut a Stitched Torn Rectangle panel out of vellum using the second largest die from that set, attached my leafy wreath on the upper section using 1mm foam squares, stuck the bunny pieces at the bottom of the wreath, and then all the flowers and branches using foam squares and liquid glue. Next I worked on my greeting and cut a banner out of dark brown cardstock using a Banner Greeting 2 die, on that banner I white heat embossed "Sending bunny kisses" from Easter Banner Greetings, I folded the banner on each end, and then attached it below the wreath using 2mm foam squares.

Pretty Pink Posh - Lucky Charm

mercredi 4 mars 2026

Hi there,

As promised on my Decorative Shamrock blog post, I'm back with another St Patrick themed card showcasing a mash-up of recent and older items from Pretty Pink Posh. It was super fun to put up those colorful Shamrock Borders, I love how nice and bright the whole card turned out!


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 panel with shabby shutters oxide ink and then created a cute pattern using the Mini Checker stencil along with mowed lawn oxide ink. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters all over the panel with a slim brush, I did the same with fossilized amber distress spritz and then the same again with rustic wilderness oxide ink. When my panel was dry, I attached it to a dark pink 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel using 1mm foam tape, and then stuck that dark pink panel to a white card base using liquid glue.


Next I cut five Shamrock Borders out of green cardstock, trimmed the borders so that each of them had five clovers, cut colorful clovers out of papers from the St Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pack by Echo Park using two other Shamrock Borders dies, and attached those clovers to the borders using liquid glue and 1mm foam squares. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters to each border using a slim brush, did the same with liquid stardust, and then stuck the five borders to my Mini Checker panel using 1mm foam squares.

I cut a large Eyelet Diamond panel out of vellum, added white splatters to it and set it aside to dry. I used the Lucky Holder Additions die set to cut the hat pieces, the coins and clovers. I also used dies from the Valentine Bucket Additions die set to cut hearts, stuck a heart in the center of each of the largest clovers using 1mm foam squares, added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to each clover, added white splatters and fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to the coins, assembled the hat pieces, and then attached everything to my Eyelet Diamond panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.


I stuck my vellum panel to the card using 1mm foam squares again, and then worked on my greetings. I used the Lucky Shadow die set to cut the shadow piece out of white cardstock, and the word "Lucky" out of white cardstock three times and out of gold glitter cardstock one time. I attached the three white "Lucky" words on top of each other using liquid glue, stuck the gold glitter word on top, attached the whole piece to the white shadow using liquid glue again, and then stuck the word right below the hat and clover cluster using 1mm foam squares.

I white heat embossed "You're my lucky charm" from Lucky To Know You on light pink cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and attached it below "Lucky" using foam squares. Finally I picked white hearts from the Valentine Hearts confetti mix and glued a heart in the center of each of the smallest clovers.

Lawn Fawn - Bold & Bright Butterflies

mardi 3 mars 2026

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this trio of colorful and bold butterfly themed cards featuring a mix & match of Lawn Fawn items from different years: the gorgeous Butterfly Background stencil set and the Scripty Thinking Of You die + Outline Add-On from the February 2026 release, and the amazing Layered Butterflies die set from an older release to create three magnificent butterflies. Three pretty simple cards, easy and quick to mass produce, but still very catchy for the eye with the contrast between the black elements and the bright colors.


I started off by creating my three backgrounds. I cut three panels out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the largest Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables die, and on each panel I masked the stitched edges off with washi tape.


On each panel I first created a soft cloudy background using the Cloudy stencil along with oxide inks: scattered straw for the orange butterfly card, salvaged patina for the blue butterfly card and kitsch flamingo for the purple butterfly card. Next I used the Butterfly Background stencil set on each panel to create three gorgeous butterfly patterns:

 on the orange butterfly card, I applied fossilized amber oxide ink with stencil #1, added a bit of orange in the center of each butterfly using ripe persimmon oxide ink, used my fossilized amber blending tool to mix the colors, and repeated that process until I was happy with the blending. I removed the stencil #1 and lined up the stencil #2 on top of the butterflies and applied black soot oxide ink all over the stencil. I removed that second stencil and added texture to my panel: I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters all over my panel, and I did the same with Liquid Stardust,


 on the blue butterfly card, I applied salvaged patina oxide ink with stencil #1, added a bit of turquoise in the center of each butterfly using peacock feathers oxide ink, used my salvaged patina blending tool to mix the colors, and repeated the process several times. I removed the stencil #1 and lined up the stencil #2 on top of the butterflies and applied black soot oxide ink all over the stencil. I removed that second stencil and added the same texture I added to my first panel,


 on the purple butterfly card, I applied picked raspberry oxide ink with stencil #1, added a bit of purple in the center of each butterfly using wilted violet oxide ink, used my picked raspberry blending tool to mix the colors, and repeated the process several times. I removed the stencil #1 and lined up the stencil #2 on top of the butterflies and applied black soot oxide ink all over the stencil. I removed that second stencil and added the same texture I added to the other panels.


When they were dry, I cut three Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables panels out of Black Licorice cardstock, attached each butterfly panel to one of those black panels using double sided sticky tape, and then each black panel to a matching card base.

Next I cut my Layered Butterflies pieces: three intricate butterfly wings out of Black Licorice cardstock, three whole butterflies out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, three whole butterflies out of Vellum, and nine butterfly bodies out of Storm Cloud cardstock.


With the nine butterfly bodies, I created three bodies just by sticking three bodies on top of each other using liquid glue. On the vellum butterflies, I added white splatters. On each white panel, I used the same oxide inks as the ones I used to make the backgrounds and added the same textures. And when everything was dry, I assembled my three butterflies: I attached each body to an intricate butterfly, each intricate butterfly to a colorful butterfly using liquid glue, each colorful butterfly to a vellum butterfly, all of this using liquid glue. When the glue was dry, I bent the wings of each butterfly to add dimension, and finally stuck a black pearl at the top of each butterfly's body.


Next I created three identical greetings using the Scripty Thinking Of You die and the Scripty Thinking Of You Outline Add-On. For each card, I cut the shadow element out of Vellum, and cut "Thinking Of You" three times out of Black Licorice cardstock. I attached each word on top of each other to get some nice dimension, and then stuck them to the vellum shadow piece using liquid glue. Finally I attached a butterfly and a greeting to each card using foam squares.

Pretty Pink Posh - Decorative Shamrock

lundi 2 mars 2026

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back with this St Patrick themed card showcasing shamrock items from Pretty Pink Posh. As very often I was inspired by pattern papers to pick the color palette, here it's the St Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pack by Echo Park, and it was so much fun to assemble my Decorative Shamrock. And I'll have another St Patrick themed card for you guys in a couple of days, so stay tuned!


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 spun sugar oxide ink, and created a fun clover pattern using the Layered Shamrocks stencil set along with worn lipstick, rusty hinge, fossilized amber, mowed lawn and broken china oxide inks. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters all over my panel, and then did the same with liquid stardust. Next I removed the washi tape, cut a dark green polka dot 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel, attached it to a white card base using double sided sticky tape, and stuck my shamrock panel on top using 1mm foam tape.


Next I worked on my Decorative Shamrock. First, I used the intricate die multiple times to cut all the tiny shapes out of different pattern papers & cardstock from the Echo Park St Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pack, and gold glitter cardstock as well. I cut the front piece out of a light green pattern paper from the Lawn Fawn Spiffy Speckles 6x6 paper pack, and added texture to it: white splatters, fossilized amber distress spritz splatters and rustic wilderness distress ink splatters. 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, stuck all the tiny pieces inside each space using liquid glue again, attached the two remaining "middle" pieces on top of my panel, and finally the front piece, still using liquid glue.

I cut a large Eyelet Circle panel out of vellum, added white splatters to it, and when dry, stuck it to my Layered Shamrocks panel using 1mm foam squares, and then attached my Decorative Shamrock to the vellum panel using 1mm foam squares again.


Next I worked on my greeting and used the Lucky Shadow die set to create the first part of it. I cut the shadow piece out of white cardstock, the word "Lucky" out of white cardstock three times and out of gold glitter cardstock one time. I attached the three white "Lucky" words on top of each other using liquid glue, stuck the gold glitter word on top, attached the whole piece to the white shadow element using liquid glue again, and then stuck the word at the bottom of my card using 1mm foam squares.

I white heat embossed "To be your friend" from Lucky To Know You on dark pink cardstock, cut it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached that banner below "Lucky" using foam squares.

Next I used Lucky Holder Additions dies to cut the hat pieces out of dark grey cardstock, gold glitter cardstock and pattern paper, the coin and the clovers, and used Valentine Bucket Additions dies to cut an additional heart that I stuck to the largest clover. I assembled the hat, added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to the clovers, white splatters and fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to the coin, and when everything was dry, I attached those elements to the card using foam squares. Finally I picked a white heart from the Valentine Hearts confetti mix that I attached to the small clover.

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.
