Pretty Pink Posh - Rainbow Holidays

Hi there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this super duper extra colorful and bright card showcasing the Christmas Light Garland die from the Pretty Pink Posh October 2024 Release. When I first saw this die, I immediately visualized rainbow garlands, just like the ones my grandfather had on his Christmas tree. It was nice to have those sweet memories while working on this card.

I started with the background and cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored with oxide inks. First, I created a base using, clockwise, kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, salvaged patina and shaded lilac. Next I placed the Cascading Snowflakes stencil on top of my panel, and applied picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, fossilized amber, mowed lawn, peacock feathers and wilted violet for a tone on tone look. I splattered water all over my panel and dried it using a paper towel. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters on my panel, and I did the same with fossilized amber distress spritz to add gold splatters on my piece of paper.

I set the panel aside to dry, and cut all my Christmas Light Garland pieces: four strings out of white cardstock and multiple light bulbs out of colored cardstock. And for the light caps, I found the perfect die from Big Dump Truck, I cut some of them out of gold glitter cardstock and some out of dark yellow cardstock. Next I assembled everything: I attached the light bulbs on the white garlands in a rainbow order using liquid glue, I added a cap on each bulb, and stuck each garland to my panel using 1mm foam squares.

I added liquid glue on each bulb and sprinkled fine glitter to make them all sparkle, and while the glue was drying, I worked on my greeting. I foiled my Hot Foil Happy Holidays sentiment in gold on white cardstock, and cut each word using Happy Holidays Shadow dies. And I wanted to add a subtle border to my words, so I cut two Happy Holidays Shadows out of vellum, glued those vellum pieces behind my gold foiled words, and finally attached my greeting in the middle of my panel using 2mm foam squares. I stuck my panel to a white card base, added highlights to the light bulbs and caps using a white gel pen, and finished my card with a scattering of Iridescent Mini Star Confetti all over my panel.

Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Hat & Snowflake Shaker Card Duo

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back with this duo of matching cards showcasing several die sets from the Pretty Pink Posh October 2024 Release: Winter Hat Shaker, Snowflake Shaker, and Stitched Snowflakes which is featured on both cards. I had so much fun creating those two kraft & blue themed shaker cards, those new dies and stencils are absolutely amazing!

For the Winter Hat Shaker card, I started off by cutting a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of kraft cardstock to create my background using the Layered Winter Hats stencils. I've mentioned it already in previous posts, but when I stencil on kraft cardstock, I like to create a white base first in order to make the colors I add after pop even more, so I created this white base using the Layered Winter Hats stencil A and stencil B along with white pigment ink. Next I used those two stencils again, one after the other, but shifted them a little bit to the right, and applied broken china, uncharted mariner and pumice stone oxide inks to create my blue winter hats background. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a small brush to add splatters all over my panel, and I did the same with uncharted mariner distress spritz and then with brushed pewter distress mica spray.

I set my panel aside to dry, and worked on the Stitched Snowflakes. I cut all the bits and pieces out of two different shades of blue cardstock, vellum and white cardstock. The smallest snowflakes and the tiny center pieces are from Big Christmas Cupcake, I layered and assembled my snowflakes using liquid glue, and added decorations to each of them: a polymer clay snowflake from Candy Cane Lane on the center of each Stitched Snowflake, as well as Blue Sky pearls and Pacific Blue pearls on the branches. I set my snowflakes aside, and started to work on the Winter Hat Shaker.

I cut a Winter Hat Shaker panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the main die, and cut the inside of the pompom using another die from the set. I colored the middle part of the hat using tumbled glass, broken china and uncharted mariner oxide inks, and used the Deco Leaves stencil along with uncharted mariner oxide ink again to add a knitted pattern to my hat. I cut the pompom part out of acetate, and attached it at the back of my hat using liquid glue. I added foam strips directly on the acetate, all along the curved edges of the pompom, and on the rest of the hat as well, I poured some Snow Days Beads inside the pompom, and cut a whole white Winter Hat Shaker panel that I stuck to the foam strips to totally close my shaker.

Next I flipped my Winter Hat Shaker over to add more details to the front. I cut another whole panel out of bristol cardstock, fussy cut the pompom, die cut the inside off, and colored it using pumice stone oxide ink. I also trimmed the bottom part of the hat, colored it using uncharted mariner, broken china, tumbled glass and pumice stone oxide inks in a fun stripe design, and attached those two elements to my hat using 1mm foam squares.

I stuck my Layered Winter Hats panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light gray gingham panel, and then to a card base, using liquid glue, and I finally attached all the pieces, Winter Hat Shaker and Stitched Snowflakes, to my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

For my greeting, I started off by cutting a Winter Script out of silver glitter cardstock. I also white heat embossed "warmest" and "wishes" from Sentiment Strips: Christmas on dark gray cardstock, trimmed both words into slim banners using a Sentiment Strips die, and then attached those three elements on the lower part of my card.

*****

For the Snowflake Shaker card, I repeated the same process as before, and started off by cutting a large kraft Eyelet Rectangle that I inked up using the Cascading Snowflakes stencil. I first created a white base using white pigment ink, next I shifted the stencil a little bit to the right, applied broken china oxide ink all over the stencil, and then added some touches of uncharted mariner here and there to darken the snowflakes. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used my small brush to add splatters to my panel, and then I did the same with uncharted mariner distress spritz and with brushed pewter distress mica spray.

Next I cut multiple Stitched Snowflakes out of the same blue cardstock, white cardstock and vellum as before, and assembled them using liquid glue. The smallest snowflake and the center pieces are from Big Christmas Cupcake. I decorated them all using Candy Cane Lane snowflakes, Blue Sky pearls and Pacific Blue pearls, and moved on to the Snowflake Shaker.

I started off by cutting the front panel out of blue cardstock, and cut the center off to create a window inside my snowflake. Next I cut a whole snowflake out of acetate, trimmed the branches to keep the starry center piece only, and stuck that acetate center piece at the back of my front panel using liquid glue. I added foam strips on the acetate, all along the starry shape edges and on the branches as well, poured some Snow Days beads on the acetate, and cut another whole snowflake out of white cardstock that I attached to the foam strips to close my Snowflake Shaker.

I attached my Cascading Snowflakes panel on a light gray gingham panel, and then to a card base. I stuck the Snowflake Shaker to my card using liquid glue, and attached all the Stitched Snowflakes around it using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I cut a Merry Script out of silver glitter cardstock, attached it in the center of the Snowflake Shaker using liquid glue, white heat embossed "Christmas" from Sentiment Strips: Christmas, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and stuck it below "Merry" using 1mm foam squares.

Sunny Studio - Arctic Friends

Hi there,

I'm so happy to be back on the Sunny Studio blog with this new holiday slimline card showcasing friends from the North Pole, being merry and happy on the ice floe. When the Roly Poly Penguins were released, I knew that I'd pair them with the Holiday Hugs bear at some point, so I'm happy to finally be sharing this lovely card with you.

I started off by creating an Arctic landscape on an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, dividing my panel in three sections. At the bottom, I created a cold sea using blueprint sketch and chipped sapphire oxide inks. In the middle, I did the ice floe using salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. And at the top, I did a purple sky using shaded lilac, wilted violet and villainous potion oxide inks.

While my panel was drying, I stamped my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Holiday Hugs - polar bear, large present, snowflakes • Scenic Route - strings of lights • Roly Poly Penguins - penguins, candy canes, small presents.

I attached all the images on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, white heat embossed my Inside Greetings Seasons on a Notebook Photo Corners black banner that I stuck below the polar bear, added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and finally added some white blizzard nuvo drops to the icebergs, pompoms, bow and lights for an extra sparkling touch.

[IG HOP] Pretty Pink Posh October 2024 Release - Snow Globe Mix & Match

Hello there,

Pretty Pink Posh is kicking off the holiday season with a new release! This collection has something for everyone, from cute and whimsical to classic and elegant designs that will make your projects stand out this season. Make sure to check my post on Instagram and hop along!

To make today's card, I mixed and matched a whole bunch of items, some of them from previous releases and some of them from the Pretty Pink Posh October 2024 release, to create a bright and cheerful snow globe, and I started off by creating the background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I did a base first by applying, from the center of my panel towards the edges, tumbled glass, broken china, uncharted mariner and chipped sapphire oxide inks. Next I temporarily taped my Cascading Snowflakes stencil on top of the panel, and applied uncharted mariner and chipped sapphire oxide inks in a random way to create a nice snowflake background.

As always, I added texture to my background, and started off by splattering water that I dried with a paper towel. Next I mixed some chipped sapphire oxide ink with water, and used a slim brush to add more splatters to my piece of paper. And then I did the same with copic opaque white ink and with brushed pewter distress mica spray.

Next I cut an Eyelet Circle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, cut a 3,25 inches circle mask out of scrap paper, taped it to my scalloped circle panel, applied tumbled glass, broken china and uncharted mariner oxide inks in the middle of my panel, and then added the same textures as my A2 background.

I die cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock and glitter/shiny cardstock to complete and adorn my snow globe. Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Big Christmas Cupcake - tree, snow bank, star, baubles, snowflakes, presents, bow, garlands • Fringe Tree - tree trunk • Holiday Wreath Builder - leaves, berries, branches • Candy Corn Shaker - snow globe base.

I used my Medium Polka Dots stencil to add details to the tree, added a bit of tumbled glass oxide ink to the snow bank, used distress inks to add more depth to each element, and mixed some copic opaque white ink with water to add white splatters to all the pieces using a slim brush. And once everything was dry, I assembled and attached the pieces to my Cascading Snowflake background using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

Next I cut a banner out of navy blue cardstock using dies from Love From Afar, silver heat embossed "Have a holly jolly Christmas" from Sentiment Strips: Christmas on the middle piece, and then attached the banner right above the tree using foam squares. I glued a Candy Cane Lane snowflake confetti in the center of each holographic snowflake, and as a final detail, I applied a little bit of glue to each berry and sprinkled fine glitter to make them all sparkle.

Sunny Studio - Roly Poly Penguins

Hi there,

I'm back on the Sunny Studio blog with this bright and cheerful card showcasing the adorable Roly Poly Penguins and some delicious hot beverages that will keep us warm during the winter season.

I really wanted to feature all the Roly Poly Penguins on my card, so as very often I went for a slimline design, and started off by cutting an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I first covered the entire panel with salvaged patina oxide ink, and next I added a fun polka dot pattern using a stencil from my stash along with peacock feathers oxide ink.

Next I stamped the images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Roly Poly Penguins - penguins, present, envelopes, small cup, small candy canes • Holiday Hugs - snowflakes • Mug Hugs - mugs and cups, large candy canes • Merry Mocha - cup • Baking Spirits Bright - cookies • North Pole - nice list.

I white heat embossed "Wishing you a cup of cheer" from Mug Hugs at the top of my panel, and then attached all my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. As always I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and added some white blizzard nuvo drops here and there to make my card even more fun and festive.

*****

I started off with the card, and cut an Eyelet Rectangle kraft panel that I stenciled using the Layered Christmas Trees stencils. Every time I stencil on kraft cardstock, I like to create a white base first, so that's what I did using the stencil #1 along with white pigment ink. I shifted that stencil a little bit to the right, and applied mowed lawn oxide ink to create the trees. Next I used the two other stencils to add patterns to the trees using rustic wilderness oxide inks, as well as a trunk below each tree using vintage photo oxide ink.

I mixed some vintage photo oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my panel, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink. I set my panel aside to dry, and started working on my Fringe Trees.

I cut the pieces out of different shades of green cardstock, as well as brown cardstock for the tree trunks, and added patterns to each element using the Mini Polka Dots stencil and Pinstripe stencil for the trees using mowed lawn and rustic wilderness distress inks, and the Deco Leaves stencil for the tree trunks using vintage photo distress ink. I mixed those distress inks with water and added splatters on the different tree pieces, and did the same with copic opaque white ink. I assembled the trees using liquid glue, and then attached them to my Eyelet Rectangle panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

Next I cut some extra items using dies from Beautiful Bows and Big Christmas Cupcake that I added to my panel: a bow at the top of the middle tree, presents below each tree, and gold glitter stars on top of two trees and by each present.

For my greeting, I used the Merry Christmas Shadow dies. I cut the shadow out of vellum, as well as "Merry" out of gold glitter cardstock that I attached to the vellum shadow using liquid glue. I also white heat embossed "Christmas" from Sentiment Strips: Christmas on dark brown cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and I attached both pieces on the middle tree using foam squares. Finally, I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches dark green panel that I attached to a card base, and I stuck my panel on top using 1mm foam squares.

For the Fringe Tree tag, I cut the pieces out of the same green cardstock and brown cardstock as before, used the same stencils with the same distress inks to add a pattern to each part of the tree, and then assembled the tree using liquid glue. To make the back of the tag as pretty as the front, I cut an extra large tree, as well as a tree trunk, attached both pieces at the back of my Fringe Tree using 1mm foam squares, making sure to sandwich a piece of twine at the top of the tree to make the handle.

I tied a red double bow that I glued at the top of the tree, and then worked on the greeting using the Holly Jolly Shadow dies. I cut the shadow out of vellum, and cut "Holly jolly" out of gold glitter cardstock that I attached to the vellum shadow using liquid glue, and I stuck the whole piece to the tree using 1mm foam squares. Next I white heat embossed "Happy holidays" from Sentiment Strips: Christmas on dark brown cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die that I attached between "Holly" and "Jolly" using foam squares again.

The Stamp Stop - Artsy Fartsy by The Sassy Club

Hello there,

I'm back with the second card I made as a guest designer for The Stamp Stop, a brand new European retailer for different brands: The Sassy Club, Streamside Studios, The Stamp Market, The Greeting Farm and more to come. They kindly sent me the lovely Artsy Fartsy stamp set by The Sassy Club, and I'm thrilled to be sharing another card featuring that set.

A little note: if there is something you want at The Stamp Stop and it's not available or sold out, make sure to contact them in private on their Instagram page, or directly via the contact form on the website.

I started off by creating the background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored using oxide inks. From the top left corner towards the bottom right corner, I applied kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twister citron, salvaged patina and shaded lilac. Next I taped my Lawn Fawn Paint Splatter Background stencil on top of my panel, and applied, from the top left corner towards the bottom right corner, picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, fossilized amber, mowed lawn, peacock feathers and wilted violet, for a tone on tone look.

I splattered water droplets all over my panel and dried it using a paper towel. I also mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add more splatters to my piece of paper, and I did the same with black soot oxide ink and with fossilized amber distress spritz.

I set my panel aside to dry and stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Detail Black ink by Pinkfresh Studio. I cut them all using my scan 'n machine, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers. I also stamped "Color my world" on the canvas, colored the letters and stamped several splatters using Lawn Fawn premium dye inks. And I added the same textures as before on the canvas.

Once the coloring was done, I attached all the images on my rainbow panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and finally applied glossy accents to the color palettes for some extra shine.

Sunny Studio - Beautiful Autumn Season

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back on the Sunny Studio blog with this lovely autumn card featuring some warm and delicious treats from different sets (listed down below), as well as four cheeky kitties from Birthday Cat. Once again, I stenciled my background, stamped and colored my images on kraft cardstock to emphasize the whole autumn vibe of the scene I had in mind. I really love how it turned out, and hope you like it, too!

I started off by stamping my images on kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. For the Merry Mocha cup, I masked the snowflake, stamped the cup, and then stamped the acorn on the cup to turn my Merry Mocha winter cup into an autumn cup.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Merry Mocha - cup (with the acorn) • Mug Hugs - other cups, candy cane, heart • Beautiful Autumn - acorns, leaves • Bountiful Autumn & Fall Friends - pumpkins • Cruisin' Cuisine - donut • Birthday Cat - cats • Happy Harvest - sunflowers.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel, and added a plaid texture using the Buffalo Plaid Straight die. And I used the Straight Stripes stencil along with vintage photo and ground espresso oxide inks to color my panel. I white heat embossed "Wishing you a beautiful autumn season" from Beautiful Autumn at the top of my panel, and then attached all my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. As always, I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Lawn Fawn - Monochromatic vs Rainbow Halloween Cards

Hi there,

I'm very happy to be back on the Lawn Fawn YouTube Channel & Blog with this Halloween card duo showcasing several items from the Fall & Winter 2024 Release: the Spider Web Background stencil, the Strings Of Lights Backdrops and Extra Bulbs Add-On. Today's cards were inspired by the one I created for the September Inspiration Week, and I had so much fun I thought it'd been nice to make two extra cards, but with different color palettes.

I started off by creating the black and white background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I first applied hickory smoke oxide ink in the middle of my panel, I added black soot oxide ink on the four sides, and then mixed both colors using my blending tools back and forth. Once I was happy with the blending, I taped my Spider Web Background stencil on top of my panel, and used the same oxide inks with a heavier hand to create a cool spider web. I added lots pf texture to my panel, set it aside to dry, and moved on to the rainbow background.

On a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, I started off by applying kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, salvaged patina and shaded lilac oxide inks clockwise. Next I taped my Spider Web Background stencil on top of my panel, and applied picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, fossilized amber, mowed lawn, peacock feathers and wilted violet clockwise for a tone on tone look. And I added lots of texture to my panel as well.

I die cut two Strings Of Lights Backdrop panels: one out of Narwhal cardstock that I stuck to the black and white background using 1mm foam squares, and one out of White cardstock that I attached to the rainbow background using 1mm foam squares as well.

Next I die cut all the light pieces using the Strings Of Lights Extra Bulbs Add-On. For the monochromatic panel, I cut the light bases out of White cardstock, glued them on my gray backdrop, then cut the lights out of Fog, Narwhal, Storm Cloud and Black Licorice cardstock, and attached them on top of the white bases. For the rainbow panel, I die cut the lights out of Guava, Fake Tan, Sunflower, Cilantro, Tide Pool and Sugarplum cardstock, and stuck them to my white backdrop.

To finish each of my panels nicely, I die cut two Stitched Rectangle Frames: one out of Black Textured Canvas cardstock that I stuck to the monochromatic panel using liquid glue, and one out of Turquoise Textured Canvas cardstock that I attached to the rainbow panel using liquid glue as well. Next I applied white blizzard nuvo drop to all the light bulbs, and set my panels aside to dry.

I die cut some candy corn pieces using Build A Cauldron dies, out of Fog, Narwhal and Storm Cloud cardstock for the black and white card, and out of White, Fake Tan and Sunflower cardstock for the rainbow card. I assembled my candy corns using liquid glue, and also cut six spiders out of Storm Cloud and Black Licorice cardstock using a Cute Cobweb die. I stuck the candy corns and spider on my panels using foam squares, and then glued wiggly eyes on the spiders to make them even cuter.

For my greetings, I die cut two Simple Wavy Banners out of Vellum, heat embossed "Hope you have a spooktacular day" from Simply Fall Sentiments using Gold embossing powder on the first banner, and using Black embossing powder on the second. I attached a banner on each panel using liquid glue, and finished both cards with a scattering of mini star confetti.
