Pretty Pink Posh - Beach Fun Shadow Box

Hello there,

I'm back with this new Pretty Pink Posh Shadow Box card featuring a family of cute hedgehogs having a great time at the beach: building a sandcastle, bouncing in the waves or enjoying cool popsicles, they plan to do all the fun activities!

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, colored everything with my Ohuhu markers, and when the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Beach Fun - parasol, large ball, flip flops, sunglasses, seashells, starfish, large bucket, surfing board, shovel • Summer Icons - popsicle, small ball • Summer Fun - small bucket (with sand inside), swimming hedgehogs • Hedgehog Friends - hedgehog.

Next I worked on my Shadow Box and cut two panels out of aqua cardstock. I kept one of them, and cut an opening out of it using the rectangle die from the set. I added peacock feathers distress ink to the edges of both panels, and then created a fun pattern on both of them using the Summer Words stencil along with the same distress ink. I mixed that ink with water, used a slim brush to add splatters to my panels, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

For the background, I cut a 4 x 3 inches panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I started by covering it with mustard seed oxide ink, and then I added a sunray pattern using the Line Bursts stencil along with spiced marmalade oxide ink, placing the stencil in a way that the circle shape is in the top left corner of my panel. I splattered water on my panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some fossilized amber oxide ink with water, and added yellow splatters to my panel using my slim brush, as well as white splatters.

To ground my cute little scene, I cut three basic insert pieces out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a Shadow Box die. I turned two of them into sand inserts using the wavy die from the set, and turned the third one into a wave insert using the cloud die upside down. For the sand inserts, I first covered them with antique linen oxide ink, added a little bit of vintage photo at the bottom, and then blended the colors. I mixed some ground espresso oxide ink with water and added brown splatters to each sand border, and then added white splatters as well. For the wave insert, I first covered it with peacock feathers oxide ink, added some blueprint sketch oxide ink at the bottom, and blended the colors. I splattered water on the insert and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some chipped sapphire oxide ink with water and added dark blue splatters to my wave insert, and then I did the same with white ink.

Next I used the scalloped rectangle die and the rectangle die from the Shadow Box die set to cut a frame out of white cardstock. I assembled my Shadow Box, attached the sand inserts, the wave insert and the back panel using liquid glue, stuck the white frame using liquid glue again, and then stuck all the images on the inside, outside and sides of the box using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

I white heat embossed "Life is better at the beach" from Beach Fun on dark blue cardstock, cut it into a banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and finally attached that banner at the very top of my Shadow Box using 2mm foam squares.

Sunny Studio - Fast Food Fun Mini Cards

Hello there,

I'm super happy to be back with this set of four mini cards showcasing the extra cute Fast Food Fun stamp set by Sunny Studio. How cool it was to color all those food themed images!

And speaking of which, I started off by stamping my Fast Food Fun images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. As always I used the matching dies to cut them all, and used my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers to color everything. And once all the images were done, I added highlights and details using a white gel pen.

I created four 3,5 x 3,5 inches white card bases, and then cut all the pieces of paper to make four identical backgrounds using the third largest Stitched Square die. The grey & white paper is from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pack and the red gingham paper is from the Joyful Holiday paper pack.

I first attached each grey & white panel to a card base using liquid glue, and trimmed each red gingham panel and stuck a piece to each card using liquid glue again. Next I cut four white scalloped frames using the second largest Fancy Frame Square die, and stuck a frame to each card using 1mm foam squares.

I cut four scalloped circle panels out of vellum using the second largest Scalloped Circle Mat 1 die, stamped a greeting from Fast Food Fun on each panel using black stazon ink (this ink dries fast and doesn't smear on vellum) and attached my images below each sentiment using 2mm foam squares.

Next I stuck each scalloped vellum circle to a card base using 2mm foam square again, glued some red hearts from the Red & Pink Heart Confetti mix, and added more white details using my white gel pen.

Pretty Pink Posh - Citrus Shadow Box

Hey there,

I'm very happy to be back with this new Pretty Pink Posh Shadow Box card, which is the first of a series of five I'll be sharing in next few days/weeks, featuring some bright and juicy lemons, ready to be picked to make some refreshing lemonade and delicious lemon pies.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, colored everything with my Ohuhu markers, and when the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Citrus - lemons, leaves, flowers • Spring Birdhouses - branches • Simple Thanks - large greenery • Jungle Friends - ivy.

Next I worked on my Shadow Box and cut two panels out of aqua cardstock. I kept one of them, and cut an opening out of it using the rectangle die from the set. I added peacock feathers distress ink to the edges of both panels, and then created a lemon pattern on both of them using the Layered Citrus stencils along with the same distress ink. I mixed that ink with water, used a slim brush to add splatters to my panels, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

For the background, I cut a 4 x 3 inches panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I started by covering it with squeezed lemonade oxide ink, and then I added a dot pattern using the Medium Polka Dots stencil along with mustard seed oxide ink. I splattered water on my panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some fossilized amber oxide ink with water, and added dark yellow splatters to my panel using my slim brush, as well as white splatters.

I cut three basic insert pieces out of green cardstock using a Shadow Box die, and used the grass border die from the set to turn my three basic inserts into grass inserts. I added rustic wilderness distress ink at the top edge of each insert, mixed that same ink with water and used a slim brush to add green splatters to each grass border, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I used the scalloped rectangle die and the rectangle die from the Shadow Box die set to cut a frame out of white cardstock. I assembled my Shadow Box, attached the grass inserts and the back panel using liquid glue, stuck the white frame using liquid glue again, and then stuck all the images on the inside, outside and sides of the box using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. To stick the branch and ivy inside the box, I just cut a basic insert out of acetate, trimmed it in half lengthwise, attached both acetate inserts inside the box, right at the top, and stuck the branch and ivy using 3mm glue dots.

I white heat embossed "Wish I could give you a squeeze" from Citrus on aqua cardstock, trimmed it into a banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and finally attached that banner at the bottom left side of my Shadow Box using 2mm foam squares.

Sunny Studio - From The Strawberry Patch

Hello there,

I'm happy to be back, live from my Sunny Studio Strawberry Patch! I picked some bright and juicy strawberries, put them all in my Build A Bowl colander, and now I'm heading to the kitchen to cook them into jam and pies.

I started by creating the background using pattern papers along with the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die. For the sky, I picked a paper from the Summer Splash pack. I added a little bit of salty ocean distress ink to the edges, mixed that same distress ink with water, added blue splatters to my cloudy panel using a slim brush, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. For the grass, I picked a paper from the Dots & Stripes pastels pack and cut a border using a die from the Picket Fence die set. I applied mowed lawn distress ink to the edges of the grass border, mixed that same ink with water, added green splatters to the grass border, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

To add more interest to my little scene, I cut a Picket Fence out of white woodgrain cardstock, added pumice stone distress ink at the top of each pointy plank and texture using the same ink, and then white splatters.

While my pieces of paper were drying, I cut the elements out of textured grey cardstock to create a colander using the Build A Bowl die set. I added hickory smoke distress ink to the edges of each piece, as well as white splatters, and then glued them all to assemble my colander. I also created a bunch of strawberries using the Strawberry Patch die set. I used matching distress inks to add more depth to each element, added white splatters and then set everything aside to dry.

I stamped my "I couldn't ask for a sweeter friend" sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings stamp set at the very top of my cloudy panel, and next I assembled the background. First I attached the cloud panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel using 1mm foam tape. I stuck the grass border using 1mm foam tape as well, and then attached the fence using liquid glue, tucking the bottom parts right behind the grass sprigs.

I filled the inside of the colander with strawberries and leaves using liquid glue, added more on top using foam squares, and then attached the colander to my panel using foam squares again. I added a couple more strawberries and leaves on both sides of the colander, and finally attached my panel to a white card base.

Sunny Studio - Happy Bastille Day

Hello there,

I'm super happy to be back with this Sunny Studio Bastille Day themed card to celebrate the French National Holiday which happens on the 14th of July each year. Of course I went with the colors of the French flag: blue, white and red, and used the perfect stamp set for the occasion: Paris Afternoon.

I started off by creating the background and used my favorite die from the Ribbon & Lace Borders die set, which is the strip die, to cut multiple strips out of blue, white and red cardstock. I attached each strip in that order on a piece of scrap paper using liquid glue, and then used a 5,5 x 4,25 inches rectangle die to cut an A2 panel. To give my background more interest, I splattered white ink all over it. I mixed some prize ribbon oxide ink with water and added blue splatters to the strips with a slim brush, I did the same with lumberjack plaid oxide ink to add red splatters, and then I added sparkling droplets using liquid stardust.

Once my striped panel was totally dry, I stuck it to a white card base, cut a Comic Strip Speech Bubbles frame panel out of light blue cardstock and attached that panel to my card using 1mm foam squares.

I stamped the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies and colored everything using a blue, white and red color palette for the parasol, balloons and macarons, but also green for the trees at the feet of the Eiffel tower and neutrals for the critters. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Paris Afternoon - table & parasol, chairs, Eiffel tower, street lamps, bottle of wine, glasses of wine, cheese, baguette, croissant, macarons, berets • Critters On The Go - bear, bunny, fox, scooter, small trees • Charming City - larger trees • Plane Awesome - clouds • Party Pets - balloons.

I added highlights and details to my images using a white gel pen, stamped "Bonjour" from Paris Afternoon in black directly on the strips, and finally attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

Pretty Pink Posh - Sand Bucket Shaker Card

Hello there,

I'm super happy to be back with this extra cute and colorful summer shaker card showcasing items from the Pretty Pink Posh June 2025 Release. What an amazing release it is, with all the beautiful summer themed products! I'm really enjoying working with all those new goodies!

For today's card, I started off by cutting a large Stitched Torn Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I covered it with salvaged patina oxide ink, and then added seashells all over it using the Seashell Background stencil along with peacock feathers oxide ink. As always I added texture to my panel, starting with water splatters that I dried with a paper towel. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over the panel, I did the same with peacock feathers and prize ribbon oxide inks, and also added sparkling droplets using liquid stardust. When my panel was totally dry, I attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel using 1mm foam tape, and then the whole thing to a white card base.

Next I cut two more Stitched Torn Rectangle panels out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and used Shoreline Border dies to cut a border out of each panel: a small one and a bigger one. I blended antique linen and vintage photo oxide inks on both panels, and added water splatters, white ink splatters and brown splatters to create a sandy texture.

I cut five different Stitched Seashells and the shovel, which is part of the Sand Bucket Shaker die set, out of colored cardstock, applied matching distress inks to the edges of each element, mixed the same inks with water and added splatters to them, and did the same with copic opaque white ink. Set them all aside to dry, and built my Sand Bucket Shaker, following those steps:

1. Cut a Sand Bucket Shaker frame out of blue cardstock using the main die and the die that cut the bottom part off (added texture, which is totally optional)

2. Cut a whole bucket out of acetate, and stuck the bucket frame on top using liquid glue

3. Flipped the bucket over, and added foam strips all along the edges of the bucket and on the upper section as well

4. Poured a bunch of Beach Town mix and Spring Breeze shaker beads inside the bucket

5. Cut a whole Sand Bucket Shaker out of a light green pattern paper (added texture)

6. Peeled the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached that green bucket to the foam strips to close the Sand Bucket Shaker

To decorate the front of the bucket, I cut a whole Sand Bucket Shaker out of a blue gingham pattern paper, trimmed the upper part off, added white splatters to it, and then attached it to the bucket using 1mm foam squares. I also cut the bucket handle out of white cardstock, added texture to it using pumice stone oxide ink and white ink, and once dry, stuck it to the bucket using foam squares again.

Next I assembled everything on my card, starting with the largest Shoreline Border that I attached using 1mm foam squares. I stuck my Sand Bucket Shaker, tilting it a little bit to the left, and tucked three Stitched Seashells inside of it. I attached the starfish outside of the bucket for more interest, added the small Shoreline Border to give the illusion that the bucket is tucked in the sand, and added the shovel and one more Stitched Seashells to decorate the bottom of my card.

I went for three greetings, white heat embossing them all on colored cardstock: "You are spe-shell" is from Seashells and I cut it using the matching die, "Happy summer" and "Wishing you sunny days" are from Sentiment Strips: Summer and I trimmed them using Sentiment Strips dies. I attached each sentiment on my card using foam squares, and to finish it, I added sparkles to the Stitched Seashells using white blizzard nuvo drops.

Sunny Studio - Fabulous Flamingos

Hello there,

I'm very happy to be sharing with you this lovely scene featuring three Fabulous Flamingos having a quiet and relaxing moment in a pond, with dragonflies and flies buzzing around.

I started off by cutting a large Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and created a simple cloudy sky using a cloud stencil from my stash along with salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. I splattered water on the panel and dried it with a paper towel. I mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water and added blue splatters to my cloudy sky using a slim brush, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I set my panel aside to dry, and stamped the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers, and then added highlights and details using a white gel pen. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Fabulous Flamingos - flamingos • Country Scenes - pond, cattails, small water lilies • Froggy Friends - cattails, flies, large water lily • Feeling Froggy - dragonflies • Seasonal Trees - trees.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, trimmed the bottom of my pond image from Country Scenes using the same Rounded Rectangle Mat die as the one I used to make the cloudy background, and then attached everything to my cloudy panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

For my sentiment, I first cut two banner pieces out of light pink cardstock using Brilliant Banner 1 dies. I white heat embossed "For my flamazing friend" on the front piece, attached that front piece to the back piece using 1mm foam squares, and then attached the whole banner to my panel using foam squares again. "For my" and "Friends" are from Little Birdie, and "Flamazing" is from Fabulous Flamingos. Finally, I attached my panel to a white card base, and added white blizzard nuvo drops to the dragonflies wings to make them sparkle.
