Pretty Pink Posh - Gingerbread Holder Shaker Card

dimanche 12 octobre 2025

Hi there,

I'm so happy to be back with this new holiday card showcasing a mix and match of Pretty Pink Posh items, including some from the September 2025 Release. Each release is always amazing and extra special, but I have to say that this one is in the top 5 of my all-time favorites! The gingerbread line is sooo cute!!


For this card, I started off with the card base, cut a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of light kraft cardstock, and created a fun gingerbread pattern using the Layered Gingerbread stencils along with white pigment ink and oxide inks: vintage photo, ground espresso, candied apple and worn lipstick. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters all over the panel, I did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles, and then with vintage photo oxide ink for contrast. When my panel was dry, I attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches red panel using 1mm foam tape, and then to a matching card base using liquid glue.


Next I worked on my Winter Mug shaker, and built it this way:
1. I cut a whole Winter Mug out of a poinsettia pattern paper and cut an opening out of it using a Birthday Mug Additions die,
2. I cut a whole mug out of acetate and attached it at the back of my poinsettia mug using liquid glue,
3. Still at the back of my mug, I attached foam strips all around the opening and on the rest of the mug as well,
4. I poured some Holiday Gingerbread mix and Candy Cane shaker breads on the acetate,
5. I cut a whole Winter Mug out of a light pink pattern paper, added white splatters to it, and once dry, attached it to the foam strips to close my mug shaker.

To complete the base of the mug, I used the Winter Mug die again to cut the handle out of pink cardstock, added matching distress ink to the edges, splatters of that same ink and white splatters as well. I also cut the "hot chocolate beverage" piece out of dark brown cardstock using another Winter Mug die, added a bit of matching distress ink to the edges, as well as white splatters, and then I attached both of those pieces to the mug using liquid glue.


Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of white cardstock, colored cardstock and pattern paper, and as always, here is a detailed list of the die sets I used:  Gingerbread Holder - gingerbread man, button, smile, icing decorative pieces  Gingerbread Mugs - small whipped cream, small marshmallows, candy canes  Christmas Bucket Additions - gummies, peppermint candies  Valentine Holder Additions - heart cheeks  Big Valentine Cupcake - large whipped cream  Winter Mug - mug, large marshmallows  Beautiful Bows - bow.

To the white pieces I added liquid stardust splatters, to the pattern paper pieces I added white splatters, and to the colored cardstock pieces I applied matching distress ink to the edges, added white splatters and matching distress ink splatters. To some of them, such as the gummies, heart cheeks, candies or marshmallows, I added liquid stardust splatters, and I applied glossy accents to the white icing decorative details on the Gingerbread Holder.

Next I attached everything to my card, starting with the Gingerbread Holder and its accessories, next the Winter Mug and its candies, making sure to lift the gingerbread man's arm to tuck the mug's handle under it, just like that little guy was holding the mug.


For the greeting, I used the Large Merry Shadow dies. I cut the word "Merry" out of red cardstock twice and stuck the words on top of each other with liquid glue. I cut the shadow piece out of vellum, stuck my red "Merry" to it using liquid glue again, attached the whole piece to my card using foam squares and applied glossy accents to the word "Merry" to make it super shiny. Next I white heat embossed "Merry Christmas" from Christmas Banner Greetings on light pink cardstock, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 1 die, and attached that banner at the bottom of my card using foam squares again.

Next I added the final details: a peppermint confetti from the Holiday Gingerbread mix in the middle of each peppermint candy, a white heart confetti from the Valentine Hearts mix on the bow, and finally I created a frosty effect here and there all over the card using opaque white grit paste and a brush.

Sunny Studio - Classy Christmas Wreath

samedi 11 octobre 2025

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this traditional holiday card showcasing the gorgeous Classy Christmas stamp set by Sunny Studio. Such beautiful images to color, and I'm sure that the same design would look great in blues for a frosty and more wintery look, or pinks for a cute and whimsical look.


I started off by stamping my Classy Christmas 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. When the coloring was done, I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters on all my images, I did the same with fossilized amber distress spritz, and then set everything aside to dry.


I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches dark kraft panel, placed it inside my Woodgrain embossing folderapplied brown ink inside the folder on the opposite side of the panel, closed the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine to create a nice tone on tone brown woodgrain texture. I mixed vintage photo distress ink with water and used a slim brush to add brown splatters all over my panel, did the same with white ink, and then the same again with fossilized amber distress spritz. And when my panel was dry, I attached it to a white card base.


Next I attached all the images symmetrically at the top and bottom using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, creating a beautiful wreath. I white heat embossed "Season's greetings" from Holiday Greetings on dark brown cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and finally stuck my sentiment right in the center of the wreath using foam squares again.

Sunny Studio - Bountiful Autumn Scene

vendredi 3 octobre 2025

Hello there,

I'm very happy to be back with this new autumn themed card showcasing the lovely Bountiful Autumn stamp set. I've had this set in my Sunny Studio stash for years but for some reason I never used it, so it was finally time to fix that.


As very often I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then I colored everything using my alcohol markers. And it almost never happens: I only used images from Bountiful Autumn on this card!


When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and next I created the background. I cut a rounded panel out of a leafy green paper from the Sweater Weather paper pack using the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die, mixed some peeled paint distress ink with water and added green splatters all over my panel, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a Gingham Jewel Tones turquoise panel, and used the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn my gingham panel into a frame. I added white splatters to that frame, and once dry, I attached it to my leafy green panel using 1mm foam squares.


I white heat embossed "Thankful" from Bountiful Autumn, stamped "For your kindness" on light aqua cardstock using another stamp from the same set using a dark aqua dye ink, cut it with the matching die, attached it below "Thankful" using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck all my cute images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Finally I attached my rounded panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light aqua panel using foam tape, and then the whole thing to a white card base.

Sunny Studio - Spooky Shaker Card

vendredi 26 septembre 2025

Hello there,

I'm back with a spooky shaker card for Sunny Studio featuring the sweetest black kitties having fun celebrating Halloween. Last week was all about goth elegance, well today is about cheekiness and cuteness!


As very often 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, and then colored everything using my Graph'it brush markers and Ohuhu markers, picking dark shades of grey for the kitties, spiders and hats, oranges for the pumpkins and pinks for the spooky balloons.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Cat Antics - cats (on the right + upside down) • Party Pets - cats (left + middle + flying), balloons • Too Cute To Spook - pumpkins, spider webs, spiders, jack o' lantern faces • Bewitching - hats.


When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then moved on to my shaker background. I first cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Preppy Prints purple panel and cut a large Stitched Semi Circle opening out of it. I mixed black soot oxide ink water and added black splatters to my purple panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink and with wilted violet distress spritz for some sparkles. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches acetate panel, attached it at the back of my purple panel using liquid glue and then stamped "Trick or Treat" from Too Cute To Spook on the front, directly on the acetate using black Stazon ink, which is an ink that doesn't smear on acetate or vellum.


At the back of my purple panel, I attached 2mm foam strips all around the Stitched Semi Circle window, following the rounded shape, added strips on the very edges of the panel, and poured a bunch of Black Bat confetti on the acetate. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Classic Sunburst pink panel, added black and white splatters all over it, and when it was dry I attached it to the foam strips to totally close my shaker panel. To finish my card base, I cut a black frame using the main Tropical Trees die, attached it using 1mm foam squares, and finally stuck all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

[IG HOP DAY 3] Pretty Pink Posh - Christmas Bucket Shaker & Snowman

mercredi 24 septembre 2025


Hello there,

Join Pretty Pink Posh for a brand new collection of holiday products. You'll discover an assortment of shakers, additions to popular die sets, and many much-requested gingerbread products. These products are sure to spark your creativity for the holiday season!

Make sure to check my post on Instagram and hop along for more Christmas inspiration!

As very often, I mixed and matched new items with previously released ones to create my card and, besides the super cute design, this is what I like the most about Pretty Pink Posh: you can pick one thing from a set, another one from another set, and so on, and everything will match perfectly.


I started off with the card base and cut a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of light kraft cardstock. I run my panel through my die cutting machine along with the Pierced Snowflakes plate die to add a nice texture to my panel, and then added even more snowflakes using the Cascading Snowflakes stencil with opaque white grit paste. Next I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over my snowflake panel, and then I did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles. When my panel was dry, I attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches dark kraft panel using foam tape and then to a white card base using liquid glue.


Next I worked on my bucket shaker, and these are the steps I followed to build it:
1. I cut a bucket frame out of red cardstock using Candy Bucket dies, and added white splatters to my bucket frame,
2. I cut a whole bucket out of acetate, and stuck it at the back of my red bucket frame using liquid glue,
3. Still at the back of my bucket, I attached foam strips all along the edges, following the shape of the bucket,
4. I poured a million Candy Cane shaker beads on the acetate,
5. I cut another whole bucket out of a light pink pattern paper, added white splatters to it, and when it was dry, I stuck it to the foam strips to totally close my bucket shaker,
6. I cut another whole bucket out of a poinsettia pattern paper, cut the upper part off, added white splatters to it, and then attached that slim poinsettia strip to my bucket shaker using 1mm foam squares.

Next I worked on the Snowman Shaker, and since I already had a shaker element with the bucket, I decided to go for a simple snowman with no shaker material, and this is how I built it:
1. I cut a Snowman Shaker frame out of white cardstock to make the base,
2. I cut another snowman out of light brown woodgrain cardstock, trimmed the arms off, added a bit of gathered twigs distress ink to both pieces, as well as white splatters and brown splatters, and I attached each arm to my snowman base using liquid glue,
3. I cut another snowman frame out of white cardstock, cut the arms off, added liquid stardust splatters to the snowman, attached it to the same light pink pattern paper I used for the inside of the bucket, and added white splatters to the light pink area,
4. I attached the snowman from #3 to the snowman base using liquid glue to complete my cute snowman.


I cut all the bits and pieces to decorate my little scene out of colored cardstock, white cardstock and pattern paper. Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used:  Christmas Bucket Additions - candy canes, peppermint candies, gummies, large carrot nose, large wooden arms, snowflakes, snow bank  Christmas Holder Additions - ear muffs  Snowman Shaker - small carrot nose  Valentine Bucket Additions - large heart cheeks  Fall Mug Additions - scarf  Valentine Cake Pops - small heart cheeks.

To the white pieces I added liquid stardust splatters, to the pattern paper pieces I added white splatters, and to the colored cardstock pieces I applied matching distress inks to the edges, added white splatters, matching distress ink splatters and liquid stardust splatters to some of them such as the gummies, ear muffs and heart cheeks.

Next I attached everything to my Eyelet Rectangle panel, starting with the bucket at the very bottom using 1mm foam squares. I tucked the snow bank at the top of the bucket and then the snowman, and I added all the decorative pieces using a mix of liquid glue and foam squares. I gave both the snowman and bucket a pair of wiggly eyes, as well as a mouth using Onyx Pearls, I picked peppermint clay confetti from the Holiday Gingerbread Mix and attached one in the center of each snowflake and peppermint candy, and I applied a bit of opaque white grit paste at some places to give the whole card a frosty look.


I added my sentiment at the very end. I white heat embossed "Joyful holiday wishes" from Christmas Banner Greetings on light pink cardstock, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 1 die, and finally attached my banner to the card using foam squares.
