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.

Lawn Fawn - Valentine Bunnies

mardi 3 février 2026

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this new set of Lawn Fawn cards & video featuring the cutest bunnies and a color palette I'd never used on a Valentine card before, and how fun it was to use this purple, red and pink combo!


I started off by cutting a Checkered Hearts Backdrop Landscape panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I entirely covered it with spun sugar oxide ink to get a soft base, and then used the Outline Hearts stencil along with wilted violet, kitsch flamingo, picked raspberry and candied apple oxide inks to create a super fun background. Next I mixed Liquid Stardust with water, added sparkling splatters to my panel with a slim brush, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.


Next, I went a bit more further than just having a colorful Checkered Hearts Backdrop Landscape panel. I also wanted each of the tiny heart openings to have a different background. So I cut small pieces of Sugarplum, Guava, Ballet Slippers, Tomato and Lilac cardstock, cut 1mm foam squares in half, attached four sticky pieces around each heart at the back of the panel, and stuck my small pieces of colored cardstock, just like putting puzzle pieces together. Still at the back of my panel, I attached 2mm foam squares in each empty space, peeled the backing papers off, and then stuck my panel to a white card base. But I felt like I needed to tone my background down a tiny bit, so I cut a Postage Rectangle panel out of vellum, added white splatters to it, and temporarily taped it to my card using washi tape.


Next I cut all the bits and pieces I needed to build the bunnies out of colored cardstock and pattern papers: 80lb White, Fog, Narwhal, Storm Cloud, Sugarplum, TomatoBallet Slippers, and Pint-Sized Patterns Summertime 6x6 papers. And as always, here is a detailed list of the die sets I used:

 Build A Bunny - bunnies  Build A Bunny Accessories - bows  Build A Critter Winter Accessories - sweaters, sleeves, hearts on the sweaters  Build A Critter Christmas Accessories - headbands  Tiny Gift Box Dog Add-On - bunny snouts  Hearts & Stars Skinny Tag - heart cheeks.

When the bunnies were done, I applied glossy accents to the nose and heart on the sweater, white blizzard nuvo drops to the heart cheeks and added white details using a white gel pen.



Next I cut three Scripty Xoxo out of Guava cardstock, cut a Scripty Xoxo Outlined Add-On out of 80lb White cardstock, stacked the three pink words on top of each other using liquid glue, and then attached the whole piece to the outlined element using liquid glue again.

Before attaching everything to my card, I needed some extra elements to complete it. I cut an envelope out of 80lb White cardstock, a heart out of Guava cardstock and a letter out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using Little Letter dies. I folded the envelope and sealed it with the heart, masked the stitched edges off of the letter with washi tape, covered the letter panel with hickory smoke oxide ink, and then stamped "Hoppy Heart Day" in black using stamps from Henry's Build A Sentiment Love + Henry's Build A Sentiment Bunny Puns.


Next, I brought my card back, stuck all my pieces (bunnies, envelope, letter and xoxo) to the Vellum panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, I removed the washi tape that was keeping the Vellum panel in place, added liquid glue at the back of that Vellum panel, but only behind the elements, and then attached my panel to the card. Finally I applied glossy accents to the heart on the envelope, and added white details to the envelope and xoxo using a white gel pen.

And I created an almost identical card using the Checkered Hearts Backdrop Portrait die. On this card, I applied shaded lilac oxide ink as the soft base for my background, used the Giant Xoxo die, and created the sentiment using the Henry's Build A Sentiment Bunny Puns stamp set only.

Pretty Pink Posh - Arctic Fox Holder

mercredi 28 janvier 2026

Hello there,

I'm happy to be back with this lovely winter card showcasing a mix & match of Pretty Pink Posh items, including the beautiful Winter Trees from the November 2025 release, and the Fox Holder, from a previous release, that I turned into an arctic fox.


I started off by cutting a Pierced Snowflake panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and created a beautiful pink snowflake pattern using the Snowflake Background stencil along with kitsch flamingo oxide ink. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters all over my panel, and did the same with brushed pewter mica spray for sparkles. Next I used the Nature Essentials die to cut a frame out of grey cardstock, and stuck that frame to my pink snowflake panel using 1mm foam squares. And finally I attached my panel to a white card base.


Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, pattern paper, white cardstock, white glitter cardstock and silver glitter cardstock. I added white splatters and sparkling splatters to the colored cardstock pieces, sparkling splatters to the white cardstock pieces, and let everything dry. Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used:  Fox Holder - fox, ears, belly, face, tail, nose and mouth  Valentine Bucket Additions - heart cheeks  Fall Mug Additions - leaves, berry branches, mushrooms, dots on the large mushroom die  Christmas Holder Additions - large snowflakes  Christmas Bucket Additions - small snowflakes  Winter Trees - trees  Penguin Mugs - scarf.

Next I assembled everything. I stuck each colored tree to a white glitter tree, and shifted them a little to get sparkling white borders under each branch. I glued berries to the grey branches, assembled the snowflakes and mushrooms, gave my arctic Fox Holder googly eyes, heart cheeks and a scarf, glued grey dots on the forehead and put a winter bouquet in his paws. And then I attached everything to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.


For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Let it" and "Snow" from Let It Snow on black cardstock. I used the matching die to cut "Snow", and cut "Let it" into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die. Finally, I added some last details to my card: I applied glossy accents to my arctic Fox Holder nose and dots, white blizzard nuvo drops to the pink berries to give them a frosty look, and glued a tiny snowflake in the center of each snowflake using confetti from the Winter Wonderland mix.

Pretty Pink Posh - Xoxo Shaker Card

mercredi 21 janvier 2026

Hello there,

How exciting it is to be back with this shaker card showcasing items from the Pretty Pink Posh January 2026 release, including the amazing Xoxo Shaker die! I love shaker cards, they're just so easy to put together, and they're even funnier to build when Pretty Pink Posh has such an amazing shaker dies collection and the most beautiful shaker accessories ever. Speaking of which, the Love Is Kind shaker beads color palette is my favorite when it comes to Valentine cards, so I was very excited to create this Xoxo Shaker card with those beads!


I started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of aqua cardstock and added a cute pattern to it using the Layered Heart Lattice stencils along with distress inks: candied apple for the hearts and peacock feathers for the stitched details. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters to my panel, and then did the same with peacock feathers distress ink. Next I cut another panel out of turquoise cardstock using the largest Pinking Rectangle die, added a word pattern to it using the Love Words stencil along with peacock feathers distress ink, mixed liquid stardust droplets with water, added sparkling splatters to my panel and then white splatters as well. Once dry, I attached my Pinking Rectangle panel to the Layered Heart Lattice panel using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck the whole thing to a matching card base.


Next I worked on my Xoxo Shaker following those steps:

1. I cut an Xoxo Shaker frame out of red cardstock using both dies from the set,
2. I cut a whole Xoxo Shaker panel out of acetate and stuck it at the back of the red frame using liquid glue,
3. Still at the back of the frame, I attached foam strips all around it, following the curves,
4. I poured Love Is Kind shaker beads and Sweet Xoxo confetti inside each letter,
5. I cut another whole Xoxo Shaker panel out of pink cardstock, added white splatters to it, and once dry, attached it to the foam strips to close my shaker.


I cut a large Eyelet Circle out of pearlescent vellum, attached my Xoxo Shaker to it using 1mm foam squares, and then attached the vellum circle to my card using foam squares again. As an extra greeting, I white heat embossed "You're a sweetheart" from Valentine Banner Greetings on aqua cardstock, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 2 die, and attached that banner on my Xoxo Shaker using a bit of liquid glue behind the fishtail ends.
