For the blog hop, I’m sharing three stenciled cards that I made with some of the new products from Pretty Pink Posh’s new release. I love making cards using the layered stencils from Pretty Pink Posh because you can make a beautiful colorful card in a matter of minutes. Just ink the stencils using your favorite inks, add a sentiment, and you’re done! For my cards, I’m going to step up my stenciling just a little by adding a bit of sparkle for that extra touch.

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

Card 1

For my first card, I used the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Party Hats four-layer stencil. I added inks in different colors to each row of the party hats. I used a piece of white card stock with the following Scrapbook.com inks:

Layer A – I added lighter inks to the first layer. I used Scrapbook.com Pink Lemonade Ink (first row), Scrapbook.com Pink Flamingo (second row), Scrapbook.com Parisian Purple (third row), and Scrapbook.com Ballgown Blue (fourth row).

Layer B – For the second layer, I added darker inks in the same color families for the patterns on the party hats. If you don’t have a darker ink in the same color family, you can use the same inks you used for Layer A, but just add more ink and little more pressure to get a darker result. The inks I used are Scrapbook.com Havana Red Ink (first row), Scrapbook.com Mixed Berry (second row), Scrapbook.com Mardi Gras (third row), and Scrapbook.com Surfboard (fourth row).

Layer D – I skipped Layer C and added the last layer next. This is the layer with the stars. I used Scrapbook.com Lantern Light ink for the stars. The reason I added the last layer next is because for Layer C, I planned on adding a liquid embellishment which will take time to dry. So by adding the liquid embellishment last, I was able to finish the stenciled background much quicker.

Layer C – I added Scrapbook.com Silver Glitter Pops of Color to the pom poms on the party hats. The Pops of Color is a liquid embellishment and this one adds a nice sparkle of glitter to the background. Make sure you let your project have time to dry before adding a sentiment to the top.

While the background was drying, I colored the Tiger stamp from the Birthday Signs stamp set and die cut it with the coordinating dies. I used the following colors of Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens:
Tiger – Orange, Flesh Color
Tiger’s Mouth – Mustard, Blender
Tiger’s Nose – Mid Brown
Sign – English Lavender
Pom Pom – Yellow
Party Hat – Cobalt Blue, Carmine Red, Blender

I stamped the sentiment “Happy Birthday” inside of the sign. I added the stamped image to the stenciled card front.

The card panel measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and was adhered to an A2 card base.

Card 2

For my next card, I used the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Ice Cream Cones four-layer stencil. I used a piece of white card stock with the following Scrapbook.com inks:

Layer A – Scrapbook.com Gingerbread Ink
Layer B – Scrapbook.com Leather Ink
Layer C – Scrapbook.com Ballet Slipper Ink
Layer D – Scrapbook.com Oasis and Parisian Purple Inks

After adding the inks to all of the layers, I decided to bring in a stencil from the Party Hats Layered Stencil set. The stencil I used is the star stencil from this set. I used Scrapbook.com Silver Glitter Pops of Color to add a bit of sparkle. Since the Pops of Color is a liquid embellishment, I let the background dry completely before putting the rest of the card together.

Once the background was dry, I cut it down to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. I die cut the Large Celebrate Shadow with silver glitter card stock and added it to the center of the card.

I added this layer to a piece of pink card stock that measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and then added it to an A2 size card base.

Card 3

For my last card, I used the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Birthday Cakes four-layer stencil. I used a piece of light pink card stock and then used the following Scrapbook.com inks:

Layer A – Scrapbook.com Pink Flamingo Ink
Layer B – Scrapbook.com Parisian Purple Ink
Layer C – Scrapbook.com Mixed Berry Ink
Layer D – Scrapbook.com Orange Cream Ink

After adding ink to all of the stencils, I added back the Layer B stencil, which is the frosting layer, and applied Brutus Monroe’s Alabaster Glitter Glaze. The glitter glaze is a clear glaze with glitter added to it. What’s nice about this type of glitter glaze is that the underlying ink color shows through it which makes it look like there is glittery purple frosting.

I cut the birthday cake layer to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ and then added a square shaker element to the card. The square frame is from the Pretty Pink Posh Party Cake die set. I added the Wish Big Script Die to the top.

I added this panel to a piece of purple card stock that I cut to 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and ten added it to an A2 size card base.
