Sunflower Cards | Pretty Pink Posh Fall Release & Blog Hop

September 16, 2022September 20, 2022 Lisa Mears

Hello crafty friends.

I can’t believe the fall season is almost upon us! To celebrate, Pretty Pink Posh is having a blog hop to celebrate their brand new fall release of stamps, dies, and stencils. During the blog hop, you have a chance to win one of three $30 gift certificates to the Pretty Pink Posh shop.

To find out more about the blog hop and see some of the cards I made with this release, keep reading.

If you would like to see the entire release, you can watch my video below or on YouTube.

For the blog hop, I’m sharing three sunflower cards that I made with some of the new products from Pretty Pink Posh’s new release.

If you would like to see how I made all of these cards, be sure to check out my video below or on YouTube.

Card 1

For this card, I cut a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and used Distress Oxide inks to ink blend the background. I used Shabby Shutters ink on the lower inch of the cardstock. I used Antique Linen ink in the center and Tumbled Glass ink on the top. I added the Picket Fence die where the Tumbled Glass and the Shabby Shutters ink meet. I stamped the sentiment from the Potted Sunflowers stamp set. Next, I added all of my stamped images to create this cute fall scene. Finally, I added the card panel to an A2 size card base.

Next, I die cut the Grateful Script die from black cardstock and adhered it to the center of the card panel. I added this panel to a piece of black cardstock that measures 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ and then added it to an A2 size card base.

Card 3

For this card, I colored four of the sunflower border images from the Pretty Pink Posh Potted Sunflowers stamp set. I arranged them in a rectangle shape on the front center of a white cardstock panel that measures 4″ x 5 1/4″. I added the mouse from the Mouse Friends stamp set to the center of the frame. Next, I heat embossed the sentiment “You’re Special” onto black cardstock and added it to the card. Finally, I added the card layer to a piece of black cardstock that measures 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and then added it to an A2 size card base.
