Pretty Pink Posh - Tea Party With Friends

lundi 30 juin 2025

Hello there,

I'm happy to be back with this extra cute little scene showcasing a mix & match of Pretty Pink Posh items: a lovely tea party for two mousy friends.


I started off with the background and cut a 4,5 x 3,25 inches panel out of kraft cardstock. I first added a fun dotted heart texture to this panel using the Pierced Hearts plate, and then I used the Layered Teacups stencil set, along with oxide inks, to create a teacup pattern. For the blue cups: tumbled glass + broken china, for the pink cups: saltwater taffy + worn lipstick, for the yellow cups: fossilized amber + spiced marmalade, and for the orange cups: spiced marmalade + ripe persimmon. I splattered water on my panel and dried it with a paper towel. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters all over the panel to bring brightness, and then I did the same with vintage photo distress ink for a bit of contrast.


Next I cut a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of the same kraft cardstock as before, applied vintage photo distress ink to the edges to darken them a little bit, and then added white splatters and brown splatters to the scalloped edges of my panel. I also cut a large Eyelet Oval panel out of vellum, added the same splatters to it, and then set all my panels aside to dry.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches pink gingham panel, attached it to a white card base using liquid glue, and assembled a few things: I stuck my Eyelet Rectangle panel on the card base using 1mm foam tape, next the small Layered Teacups panel on top using liquid glue, and I kept the Eyelet Oval vellum panel aside for later.


I stamped my images on kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the matching dies to cut them, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers. As always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used:  Tea Time - teapot, teacups, plate, piece of cake, spoons  Friend Greetings - greenery  Mouse Friends - mice, strawberries  Valentine Train - steam.

I temporarily taped the Eyelet Oval vellum panel right in the middle of the card base using washi tape, and then I attached the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, making sure to put the squares only on the vellum panel. I started with the teapot and teacups, next the plate with the piece of cake, and then the mice. I removed the washi tape, flipped my vellum panel over, added liquid glue at the back of the panel, right behind the images, and finally attached the vellum panel to the card. At the top and bottom, I stuck strawberries and greenery using foam squares again, and added steam above the teacups.

I white heat embossed "You're my cup of tea" from Tea Time on dark brown cardstock, trimmed my greeting into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and then attached the banner right below the mice using foam squares. And to finish my card, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Pretty Pink Posh - Sandcastle Shaker Card

vendredi 27 juin 2025

Hello there,

 I'm back to take you to the beach and have some fun building a giant sandcastle using items from the Pretty Pink Posh June 2025 Release! As always, I created a very textured background and added a few seashells in the corners, but this Sandcastle Shaker is totally self-sufficient and is definitely the star of the show, or should I say the star of the beach!


I started off by cutting a Chevron Pierced panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I placed the Watercolor Oval stencil on top, and covered the middle of my panel with antique linen oxide ink to create sand. I applied a little bit of vintage photo oxide ink on the edges to darken the sand a little bit, mixed the colors with my blending tools, and then added a subtle pattern to this sand section using the Mini Polka Dots stencil along with vintage photo oxide ink. At that point I knew that most of the sand would be hidden behind a vellum panel, but the polka dot pattern is cute and we still can see it through the vellum. I splattered water on the panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some vintage photo oxide ink with water and used a small brush to add brown splatters all over the sand section, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I removed the Watercolor Oval stencil, and once the sand was dry, I temporarily taped the mask that comes with the Watercolor Oval stencil to the sand section using pieces of rolled-up washi tape at the back of the mask. I covered the rest of the panel with salvaged patina oxide ink, and created a seashell pattern using the Layered Seashells stencils: with stencil #1, I applied peacock feathers oxide ink with a very light hand, and with stencil #2 I applied the same ink but with a heavier hand to make the seashell details stand out. Just like the sand section, I added texture to my seashell border, starting with water splatters. Next I mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water and used my slim brush to add more splatters to the seashells, and I did the same with white ink. To finish my background, I wanted to add a foam effect along the sand edges, so I first used a sponge dauber and applied copic opaque white ink on those edges, and then I used the rounded end of a brush to add more ink. And when my panel was dry, I attached it to a light blue card base.


I used Seashell Border dies to cut six seashells out of colored cardstock, picked matching distress inks and applied ink to the edges of each seashell, mixed those distress inks with water and added splatters to the seashells. I did the same with white ink, set them aside to dry, and then worked on my Sandcastle Shaker. Here are the steps I followed to build it:

1. Cut a Sandcastle Shaker frame out of kraft cardstock using the main die and the small insert dies
2. Applied vintage photo distress ink to the edges of the castle, and added white and brown splatters
3. Cut a whole Sandcastle Shaker out of acetate, and attached the castle frame on top using liquid glue
4. Flipped the castle over, added foam strips all around it and on the middle sections as well, creating four different "rooms"
5. Poured Chocolate shaker beads inside each "room"
6. Cut a whole Sandcastle Shaker out of beige pattern paper, splattered white ink all over it
7. Peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips
8. Attached the beige castle to the foam strips to totally close the Sandcastle Shaker

I decorated the front of my sandcastle with brown gingham roofs and white glitter flags on top of each roof. Next I cut a large Eyelet Circle panel out of vellum, added white splatters all over it, stuck my Sandcastle Shaker on top right in the middle using 1mm foam squares, attached the vellum panel to my card using 1mm foam squares again, and added seashells on the corners.


For my greetings, I started by cutting the Summer Script twice: out of dark aqua cardstock and out of white cardstock. I attached the dark aqua word on top of the white word using liquid glue, shifting them a little bit to create a white border, and then stuck my Summer Script to the Sandcastle Shaker using liquid glue as well. Next I white heat embossed "Sending good vibes" from Sentiment Strips: Summer on light blue cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached that banner to the castle using foam squares.

Finally, I applied glossy accents to the Summer Script to make it super shiny, with kind of a wet effect, and added sparkles to the seashells using white blizzard nuvo drops.

Sunny Studio - Happy Summer Slimline Card

jeudi 26 juin 2025

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back with this Sunny Studio busy card! Since summer is officially here, I thought it would be nice to take you to the beach, drink some refreshing cocktails and have fun in the ocean. As very often, the scene I had in mind had many images in it, so I went for a slimline design to create my card.


I started off by stamping all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

As always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Tiki Time - bar, torches, cocktails, leaves, toucans • Seasonal Trees - palm tree, coconuts • Tropical Birds - flowers • Paris Afternoon - table & parasol, chairs • Beach Bus - surfboard • Ocean View - seashell • Beach Babies - two characters, balloon • Kiddie Pool - four characters, droplets • Beach Buddies - sunglasses, snorkeling mask.


I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, set them aside for later, and cut a 3 x 8 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I masked the stitched edges off with washi tape, divided it in three sections using washi tape again, and used oxide inks to create my beach landscape:

in the upper section, I created a cloudy sky using a stencil from my stash along with tumbled glass and broken china. I mixed some broken china oxide ink with water, and used a slim brush to add splatters to my sky,
on the middle section, I blended antique linen and vintage photo to create sand, and added brown splatters using vintage photo oxide ink,
on the lower section, I did the ocean using broken china and uncharted mariner, and added dark blue splatters using uncharted mariner oxide ink.


Next I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over the panel. And to give the illusion of sea foam between the sand section and the ocean section, I applied white ink on that area using a sponge dauber, and added even more ink using the rounded end of a brush.

When my panel was dry, I white embossed "Happy summer" from Beach Babies at the very bottom, and then I attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.


Next I cut a scalloped panel out of aqua cardstock using a Slimline Scalloped Frame die, attached it to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches white card base using 1mm foam tape, and finally stuck my beach scene panel using foam tape again.

Sunny Studio - Rainbow Ice-Creams

vendredi 20 juin 2025

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back with a super duper extra colorful birthday card showcasing Two Scoops. I've had this Sunny Studio stamp set in my stash for a very long time, and I knew that when I'd use it, it would be on a rainbow themed card. So here we are!


I started off with all the stamping, and the Two Scoops layering stamps are super easy to line up, so even if it looks like the stamping took a million years, it actually did not, it actually was pretty quick. Here is a detailed list of the Lawn Fawn premium dye inks I used to stamp everything, from light to dark:

• pink - ballet slippers + peachy keen + guava
• orange - peach fuzz + carrot + fake tan
• yellow - butter + lemonade + sunflower
• green - celery stick + freshly cut grass + jalapeno
• aqua - kiddie pool + merman + peacock
• purple - fresh lavender + grape jelly + sugarplum
• cones - pizza crust + doe

Once the stamping was done, I cut the images using the matching dies, mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, and used a slim brush to add white splatters to each image. I also picked matching distress inks, mixed each of them with water, added more splatters to the ice-creams, and then I did the same with matching distress spritz for sparkling details.


Next I cut a slimline panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set, and used distress inks to create watercolored splashes, giving the illusion of melting ice-cream. I mixed each ink with water, and from left to right, I applied the colors with a fluffy brush: worn lipstick, spiced marmalade, mustard seed, mowed lawn, peacock feathers and wilted violet. I let the paper dry, and then added more ink to get different shades on each splash of colors.

I added water splatters all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, I mixed the same distress inks with water and used a slim brush to add matching splatters, next I did the same with copic opaque white ink, and then with matching distress spritz for shine and sparkles.


Once my watercolored panel was dry, I attached it to a slightly larger slimline aqua panel using liquid glue, and then worked on the rainbow scalloped panel. I started by cutting multiple strips out of colored cardstock using a strip die from the Ribbon & Lace Borders die set. I attached each strip of paper to a large piece of cardstock in this order: pink, orange, yellow, green, aqua and purple, and then used the scalloped die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set to cut my rainbow strips panel. I attached this panel to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches white card base using 1mm foam tape, and then stuck my watercolored panel on top using foam tape again.

For my greeting, I cut two fishtail banners using a die from the Notebook Photo Corners die set: a pink one and a gold glitter one, and I white heat embossed "Hope you have a sweet birthday" from Summer Sweet on the pink one. I stuck the pink banner on top of the gold glitter one, shifted them for a little bit of more fun, using 1mm foam squares, and finally attached my banner at the bottom right hand corner of my card using foam squares again.

[IG HOP DAY 5] Pretty Pink Posh - Seashell Shaker & Stitched Seashells

vendredi 13 juin 2025


Hi there,

Pretty Pink Posh has released a brand new collection filled with seashells, beach vibes, and summer-themed products. These items are sure to make you dream of your next vacation!

 Make sure to check my post on Instagram and hop along for inspiration that will inspire your summer projects this year!

I went for an underwater monochromatic blue slimline card to showcase the gorgeous Seashell Shaker and beautiful Stitched Seashells. And I also used holographic cardstock and glitter to make my scene even more magical.


I started off by creating the background and cut a slimline panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the largest die from the Slimline Peekaboo Windows die set. I masked the stitched edges off with washi tape and covered the whole panel with salvaged patina oxide ink. Next I added a beautiful coral pattern to my panel using the Layered Coral stencil set. With stencil #1 I applied peacock feathers oxide ink with a light hand, and with stencil #2 I applied the same ink but with a heavier hand to make the coral details stand out.

I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters to my panel, and then I did the same with peacock feathers oxide ink and with prize ribbon oxide ink to bring a little bit more contrast. I also mixed a couple of liquid stardust droplets with water, and added more splatters to make my underwater themed card shine.

I peeled the washi tape off, and when it was dry I attached my panel to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches dark blue panel using liquid glue, and then the whole thing to a matching card base using liquid glue as well.


Next I worked on my Seashell Shaker, and here are the steps I followed to create it:

1. Cut a Seashell Shaker frame out of holographic cardstock using both dies from the set
2. Cut a whole seashell out of acetate, and attached the holographic frame to it using liquid glue
3. Flipped my panel over, and added 2mm foam strips all around the seashell, following the rounded shape, and on the middle strips as well, creating seven different sections
4. Poured some of the Beach Town mix inside each section 
5. Peeled the backing papers off the foam strips
6. Cut a whole Seashell Shaker panel out of pattern paper, and stuck that panel to the foam strips to totally close the Seashell Shaker


I cut the Stitched Seashells, some out of colored cardstock and some out of pattern paper. I picked matching distress inks, applied ink to each colored cardstock piece to darken them a bit, and I mixed those same inks with water and added matching splatters to my Stitched Seashells. Next I mixed white ink with water and added splatters to all the pieces, colored cardstock ones and pattern paper ones.

I cut smaller seashells out of colored cardstock using Seashell Border dies, did the same process as before to add texture to each element, also used matching dies from Baby Animals and Birthday Dogs & Cats to cut several fish out white glitter cardstock, and then I finally assembled everything on my Layered Coral slimline background. I started by sticking the Stitched Seashells using 1mm foam squares, next the Seashell Shaker using 2mm foam squares, and then the cute sparkling fish. 


For my greetings, I first white heat embossed "You are spe-shell" from Seashells on dark aqua cardstock, cut it using the coordinating die, and attached it to the Seashell Shaker using 2mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed "Enjoy your day" from Sentiment Strips: Summer on light aqua cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and stuck it right below the first greeting using foam squares. To finish card, I gave each fish an eye using Charcoal pearls, and applied white blizzard nuvo drops on the seashells to make them super shiny and make my underwater scene even more magical.

Sunny Studio - 4th of July Shaker Tags

jeudi 12 juin 2025

Hello there,

I'm back today with more 4th of July inspiration using a fun Sunny Studio mix and match on shaker tags. I hope these will inspire you!


As very often, I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers using the red, white and blue color palette. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Summer Sweets - icecreams, popsicles, milkshakes • Big Panda - sunglasses • North Pole - stars • Balloon Rides - banners.


Next I created three shaker tags. They all may be different in colors, the three of them were made the same way, so here is how I did the blue one, for example:

1. Cut a Scalloped Tag Circle out of blue cardstock, and used a 2,5 inches circle die from my stash to cut an opening out of it, leaving with a blue circle frame
2. Cut a whole Scalloped Tag Circle out of acetate, and attached my blue frame on top using liquid glue
3. Flipped my panel over, and added 2mm foam strips all along the edges of the scalloped edges, following the rounded shape
4. Poured some Americana confetti on the acetate
5. Cut a whole Scalloped Tag Circle out of a Surprise Party starry blue paper
6. Peeled the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached the starry blue panel to the strips to close the shaker tag
7. Cut one last Scalloped Tag Circle out of the same blue cardstock as 1. and stuck it at the back of the tag to make the back of my tag as nice as the front

I created the red shaker tag and the white shaker tag following the same steps, and the white starry paper in the white tag is from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pack.


I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then attached them on each tag using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I created three identical greetings using stamps from Beach Bus. I white heat embossed "Happy" on aqua cardstock and trimmed it into slim banners, I white heat embossed "Summer" on black cardstock, cut them using the matching die, and then attached a "Happy Summer" sentiment on each tag using foam squares again.


Next I tied matching twine to each tag to make handles, created three double bows out of a pretty gingham red ribbon (I wish I had the same in blue and white to make a perfect match) and attached a bow at the top of each tag using liquid glue. Finally I applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the icecreams, popsicles and milkshakes, and glossy accents to the stars to bring shine and sparkle to those tags.
