Pretty Pink Posh - Bees & Daisies

Hello there,

I'm so glad to be back with this cheerful spring themed card featuring two lovely Bee Friends from Pretty Pink Posh getting busy collecting pollen from those beautiful pink Daisies.

I started off by cutting a large Eyelet rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I masked the scalloped edges off with washi tape and created a cute brick pattern using the Brick Background stencil along with kitsch flamingo oxide ink. Next I splattered water all over the panel and used a paper towel to dry it, I mixed some picked raspberry oxide ink with water and added pink splatters to my panel, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink. I also cut a vellum panel using the second largest Stitched Torn Rectangle die, added white splatters to that panel, and then put both of my panels aside to dry.

I stamped the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers. The flowers and leaves are from the Daisies stamp set, and the bees are from the Bee Friends stamp set. When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to each image using a white gel pen.

Back to my panels, I temporarily taped the Stitched Torn Rectangle vellum panel to my Eyelet Rectangle panel using washi tape, and attached all the images to the vellum panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Next I removed the washi tape, applied liquid glue at the back of my vellum panel, but only behind the images, stuck my vellum panel to the brick panel, next the brick panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches dark pink panel using 1mm foam tape, and finally the dark pink panel to a matching card base using double sided sticky tape.

I white heat embossed "Bright spring wishes" from the Easter Banner Greetings stamp set on light pink cardstock, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 3 die, and then attached that banner to my card using foam squares. Finally I applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the bees wings for a touch of shine.

Lawn Fawn - Holy Moley Customized Box Card

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back with this Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up featuring some cute moles taking care of their garden, decorating their underground house, and getting a cheeky guest to celebrate the arrival of the spring season.

I built the box card first using the Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up die set. I cut the base pieces out of Algae cardstock, the decorative elements out of Into The Woods 6x6 pattern papers, and cut the underground opening using a die from the Shadow Box Card Fireplace Add-On. Please watch the video down below to see how it was assembled.

When my box card was done, I stamped all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Jet Black ink, I cut them using the matching dies, and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • A mole lot of love + add-on - moles, piles of soil, «holy moley» • A mole lot of flowers - mole & wheelbarrow • Spring basket - tulips, bow • Carrot 'bout you - barrow, tulips, «spring has sprung» • All the grasses - grass • All the garden hats - hat • All the speech bubbles - speech bubbles • Veggie happy + add-on - fence, bag of soil, worms, tools • Garden mouse - small flowerpot, tulips.

To stick the images to the insert pieces, I used strips of acetate and 3mm glue dots, and again, you are welcome to watch the video down below to see how it was done. And to stick the images to the front of the box and inside the underground, I used 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Finally I white heat embossed my "Happy Spring" greeting from Spring Basket on N°2 Pencil cardstock, cut it into a fishtail banner using the second Everyday Sentiment Banner die, and then stuck that banner to the back of my box using 1mm foam squares.

Pretty Pink Posh - Hoppy Easter

Hi there, happy Easter to those who celebrate it!

I'm thrilled to be back today with this Easter themed slimline card inspired by the Halloween stockings card I made back in October 2025 and the Christmas stockings card I made back in October 2023. This time, the stockings are filled with carrots and chocolate bunnies, flowers have bloomed in the trees and I picked pastel colors to match with the Spring season.

I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies and colored everything with my alcohol markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Spring Birdhouses - branches • Holiday Stockings - stockings • Easter Signs - butterflies, bunny, chicks, greeting • Easter Wreath - chicks • Easter Icons - bows, small chicks, carrots, chocolate bunnies • Easter Greetings - tulips, daisies • Tea Time - flowers.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then moved on to the background. I cut a large Slimline Peekaboo Windows panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock and masked the stitched edges off with washi tape. I used washi tape again to divide my panel in two sections. First a slim section at the bottom: I colored it with mowed lawn oxide ink, mixed rustic wilderness oxide ink with water and added green splatters to my grass border.

Next I covered the rest of the panel with spun sugar oxide ink, and then added words all over the panel using the Easter Words stencil along with kitsch flamingo oxide ink. I splattered water on my panel, dried it with a paper towel, I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters to my panel, and then did the same with picked raspberry oxide ink.

I removed the washi tape, and when my panel was dry I attached it to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches purple panel using 1mm foam tape, and next my purple panel to a matching card base using double sided tape. And finally I attached all the images to my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

Pretty Pink Posh - Welcome Little One

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back with this lovely baby themed card I've made to celebrate the birth of the sweet Kaia, Paulina's daughter (Paulina, the Pretty Pink Posh owner) The idea here was to create a half paneling wall with a wooden board on top to put baby items and decorations on, and maybe have enough space for a cute stuffed teddy bear to sneak a peek and keep a close eye on Kaia while she sleeps. And I'm usually a fan of bright and bold colors, but here I went for a soft and lovely color palette using papers from the Our Baby Girl 6x6 paper pack by Echo Park.

I started off by cutting the letters to make the word "baby" using the matching dies from the Baby stamp set. I cut those letters three times: out of pattern papers, out of white cardstock and out of dark kraft cardstock. I set the white and dark kraft letters aside, mixed copic opaque white ink with water, added white splatters to the pattern paper letters, and then did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles. When my four pattern paper letters were dry, I attached the white letters to the kraft letters using liquid glue, shifting them a little bit to get a brown border on the edges of the white letters. Next I attached the pattern paper letters to the white letters using 1mm foam, and again, shifting the letters a bit to get a white border on the edges of the pattern paper letters.

Next I cut the baby decorations and teddy bear pieces using the same paper pack from Echo Park for some items and white cardstock for others. I added white splatters to the bear's head and paws, to the stitched heart, bow and cubes as well, and added liquid stardust splatters to the white squares on the cubes, to the bear's cheeks and to the yellow bow. Here is a short detailed list of the die sets I used: • Bear Holder - bear's head, snout, nose and ears, stitched heart • Easter Mug Additions - bear's paws, cheeks and bow • Baby Mug Additions - small bow, cubes, small heart, star and duck.

I assembled all those pieces to create the cutest teddy bear and baby items, gave the bear a pair of googly eyes, and then moved on to the background. I cut three large Eyelet Rectangle panels: out of light kraft cardstock, out of dark kraft cardstock and out of a stripe pattern paper. I placed the "baby" letters on the stripe panel to see how tall it needed to be and then trimmed that panel. Next I used the second smallest Stitched Strips die to cut a slim strip out of the dark kraft panel. And then I used the Baby Words stencil along with white pigment ink to add more interest to the upper section on the light kraft panel. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water, added white splatters to the panel and then did the same with vintage photo distress ink for a bit of contrast and to match with the brown items on the card.

Next I attached everything, starting with the vertical stripe panel and the slim dark kraft strip above it using liquid glue. On the wooden board I first put the teddy bear, her paws and the cubes using 1mm foam squares and then the stitched heart using 2mm foam squares. I stuck my "baby" letters below the board using 1mm foam squares again, and then worked on my greeting. I white heat embossed "Welcome little one" from the Sentiment Strips: Occasions stamp set on dark brown cardstock, cut it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and then attached that banner to my card using foam squares. Finally I attached my Eyelet Rectangle panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel and then to a matching card base, I stuck the small bow to the "Y" for more cuteness, and applied glossy accents to the bear's nose for one more touch of shine.

Pretty Pink Posh - Easter Bunny Mugs

Hello there,

I'm very happy to be back with this extra colorful card featuring a mash-up of new Pretty Pink Posh items, such as the Easter Bunny Mugs, with older ones, such as the Doily Borders. I've had this border die set for a long time, and it was fun to finally use it!

I started off by creating the background, and I knew that my Easter Bunny Mugs would be mostly neutrals, so that's why I went for a bright and bold background. I cut multiple Doily Borders out of pink, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple cardstock, mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over the borders. I did the same with liquid stardust because I can't help myself but adding sparkles to all my cards, and when my Doily Borders were dry, I attached them one below each other to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel using 1mm foam squares. Next I cut a large Scallop Frame out of white cardstock, and stuck it to the colorful Doily Borders using 1mm foam squares again.

I cut the Easter Bunny Mugs items out of colored cardstock, pattern papers and vellum, added texture to each element using liquid stardust, copic opaque white ink and a white gel pen, and then I assembled my mugs using 1mm foam squares. The only items that don't belong to the Easter Bunny Mug die set are the heart cheeks, collars and bunny white snouts. I used a Valentine Bucket Additions die to cut the hearts, Spring Mug Additions dies to cut the collars and the bow ties, and a Bear Holder die to cut the bunny white snouts.

I gave both of the bunny mugs a pair of googly eyes to make them extra cute, applied glossy accents to their nose and white blizzard nuvo drops to their cheeks, and picked orange hearts from the Colorful Hearts confetti mix that I glued in the center of each bow tie. To tone down my colorful background a bit, I cut a large Eyelet Oval panel out of vellum, added white splatters to it and attached it right in the middle of my Doily Borders panel. Next I stuck the Easter Bunny Mugs using 1mm foam for one and 2mm foam squares for the other, and then stamped two Easter Banner Greetings. I white heat embossed "Spring Greetings" on blue cardstock and "Some Bunny Loves You" on purple cardstock, used a Banner Greetings 3 die to cut the first one and a Banner Greetings 1 die to cut the second one, and finally attached them both to my card using foam squares.

Pretty Pink Posh - Care Bears Mini Cards

Hi there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this set of care bear inspired mini cards I created using multiple Pretty Pink Posh items from different releases, including the lovely Bear Holder die set and a bunch of accessories from various sets.

I started off by creating my six backgrounds using dies from the Box Of Chocolates die set. I cut six panels out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the small rectangle die and colored each of them using oxide inks: spun sugar, dried marigold, scattered straw, shabby shutters, tumbled glass and shaded lilac. And then I used the Medium Polka Dots stencil along with darker shades of oxide inks to add more interest to each panel: worn lipstick, spiced marigold, fossilized amber, mowed lawn, salty ocean and wilted violet.

I added texture to each panel: I mixed each of the dark oxide inks with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to each panel, and then did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles.

Next I cut six stitched panels out of white cardstock using the largest rectangle die from the Box Of Chocolates die set, stuck each of those white panels to card bases, and then attached my mini colored panels using 1mm foam squares.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, pattern paper and vellum, and added texture to most of the elements using copic opaque white ink and liquid stardust again.

Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Bear Holder - bears, bellies, ears, snouts, noses, mouths • Valentine Bucket Additions - heart cheeks, bows, collars • Big Easter Cupcake - feet • Easter Mug Additions - eyes, hands • Fall Mug Additions - purple leaf • Horseshoe Shaker - green shamrock • Baby Mug Additions - yellow sun • Onesie Shaker - orange heart, blue moon, pink star.

I assembled the bears using 1mm foam squares and liquid glue, applied glossy accents to their nose and white blizzard nuvo drops to their heart cheeks, picked white hearts confetti from the Valentine Hearts confetti mix and glued a heart in the center of each rainbow bow using liquid glue. And when each bear was done, I attached them to their matching card using 1mm foam squares.

For the greetings, I used dies from the Box Of Chocolates die set again to make the words "love", "hugs" and "xoxo". I cut each word out of colored cardstock and out of white cardstock, glued each colored letter on a white letter, shifting the letters a little bit to get a nice white border around the colored letters, and then attached the words to their matching card using 1mm foam squares. Finally I applied glossy accents to each word to make them pop against the polka dot backgrounds.

Pretty Pink Posh - Floral Wreath & Bunny Kisses

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

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

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.
