Slimline Scene Birthday Card | Pretty Pink Posh

March 10, 2022March 9, 2022 Lisa Mears

Hello Crafty Friends.

Scene cards are some of my favorite cards to make and there are so many fun products in the Pretty Pink Posh February release that I just couldn’t help myself to make a fun slimline scene birthday card.

Since Pretty Pink Posh is turning eight years, I decided to make a birthday card to celebrate the occasion.

You can watch a tutorial for my card here.

I started off by stamping the images from the Balloon Alphabet stamp set, Balloon Numbers stamp set, Birthday Borders stamp set, and the Crafty Critters Stamp set. (Note: The Crafty Critters stamp set was a promotional stamp set during the month of February only and is not currently for sale on their website. Hopefully, some of you were able to get this set last month.)

I colored all of my images with Copic markers. The colors I used are as follows:

H Balloon – RV02, RV04, RV06

B Balloon – BG11, BG13, BG15, BG49

D Balloon – RV000, RV00, RV02

8 Balloon – YR12, YR14, YR16

Presents – YR12, YR16/RV00, RV02, RV04, RV06/BG11, BG13, BG49/RV00, RV02, RV04/BG11, BG13, BG49

Mouse and Koala – Blender, C0, C1, C3, C4/R01, R11

After coloring my images, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

Next, I die cut the Nature Essential Dies from plain white cardstock and set aside the cloud border and grass borders from this set.

To create the cloud background, I started off by cutting a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock to 3 3/8” x 8 3/8”. Next, I used the cloud border that I die cut from the Nature Essential dies along with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to create a cloud background for my card.

I also applied Mowed Lawn Distress ink to the two grass border die cuts from the Nature Essential dies.

Next, I began to assemble my card. I started off by cutting the Birthday Borders in half so that only the first six presents were showing. I added one of the grass borders behind the presents at the top of the border. I added the smaller grass border in front of the presents at the bottom of the border. I added some Mowed Lawn Distress ink to the bottom portion of the card panel and then adhered the Birthday Borders to the bottom of the slimline card panel. Next, I added the remaining stamped images to the card panel.

To add dimension to the clouds, I used the Build-A-Cupcake die set and die cut two of the frosting dies that resembles a cloud shape from white cardstock. I added Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to the clouds and then cut the cloud die cut in half. I added foam tape the to back of the cloud die cuts and added them to my card. I love how the clouds add dimension to the card.

Finally, I added the card panel to a pink slimline card base that measures 3 1/2” x 8 1/2” and added the Flamingo Pearls to the card front.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Be sure to check out all of the fun new products in Pretty Pink Posh’s February birthday release.

Have a wonderful day!

3 Cards using Layered Birthday Stencils including 2 Shakers! | Pretty Pink Posh

February 23, 2022March 9, 2022 Lisa Mears

Hello Crafty Friends.

Today, I created three cards using some new products from Pretty Pink Posh’s birthday release. I used all of the brand new layered stencils for my card backgrounds — Layered Candles, Layered Cupcake, and Layered Presents. I also created two shaker cards!

If you would like to watch a tutorial of me making all three cards, then check out my YouTube video.

Card 1 features the Birthday Wreath stamp set, Layered Candles stencil, and the Crafty Critters stamp set.

I started by coloring the images in the Birthday Wreath stamp set and Crafty Critters stamp set with Copic markers. Below is a list of Copic markers I used.

Birthday Wreath:
Cake – Y00, Y08/RV02, RV06/YR12 (candle wick)/YG07
Stars – Y08
Single Candle – YR12 (wick)/V12, V15
Large Present – V12, V15, V17/YR12, YR16
Small Present – R24, R27/B01, B02, B05
Black Dot Present – YG05, YG07, YG09/RV02, RV04
Polkadot Present – YG05, YG09/B01, B05
Striped Party Hat – YR12, YR16/RV02, RV04
Polkadot Party Hat – YG05, YG09/V12, V15

Crafty Critters:
Mouse – R01, R11/C0, C1, C3, C4

Next, I cut a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and used some Distress Oxide inks with the Layered Candles stencil to make the fun candle background. The inks I used are – Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Tumbled Glass, and Mermaid Lagoon.

I added a piece of vellum to the top of the layered candle background to soften the colors.

I added a piece of acetate behind the birthday wreath and added it to a piece of pink cardstock that I die cut using the Scallop Circle dies. I die cut the center of the scallop circle from white cardstock and adhered the white cardstock to my card front. I added the Rainbow Sprinkles clay confetti to the center of the scalloped frame. I added double-sided adhesive foam strips to the back of the birthday wreath and added it to the top of the card to cover the sprinkles.

Finally, I added the mouse from the Crafty Critters stamp set along with a candle from the Birthday Wreath stamp set. The entire layer was added to a pink A2 size card base.

For my second card, I inked the Layered Cupcake stencil onto a piece of a Bristol Smooth cardstock which I cut to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. The Distress Oxide ink colors I used are Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Antique Linen, Mermaid Lagoon, and Twisted Citron.

I die cut the Scallop Border die from white cardstock and added it to the bottom of the cupcake panel. I die cut the Celebrate Script word die from silver glitter cardstock and blue cardstock. I layered the two words together, offsetting them slightly, so the silver glitter cardstock shows as a shadow underneath the blue cardstock.

I used the koala stamp from the Crafty Critters stamp set and the cupcake and candle stamp from the Birthday Wreath stamp set. The Copic markers I used are as follows:

Koala – R01, R11, C0, C1, C3, C4
Cupcake – RV02, RV04, Y00, Y08
Candle – B02, B04, B05, YR14

I added Blue Sky Pearls, Flamingo Pearls, and Sunshine Pearls. I added this layer to a piece of blue card that measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and then added that layer to a white A2 size card base.

I love to make shaker cards so for my last card, I made another shaker card. I used the Layered Presents stencil for my background. I used the following Distress Oxide inks: Spun Sugar, Mermaid Lagoon, Fossilized Amber, Dusty Concord, and Cracked Pistachio. This panel was cut to 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″.

I used the Scallop Frame die set to cut a piece of blue cardstock. I added a piece of acetate to the back of the scallop rectangle frame. I also added two layers of double sided adhesive foam around the back of the rectangle. I added the Pinata Party Clay Confetti to the center of the stenciled panel and added the rectangle to the top of the card panel.

For the sentiment, I die cut the word “Birthday” from the Birthday Wishes Script die set. I used the Birthday Scripts stamp set and stamped the word “Happy” inside of the balloon from the Birthday Wreath stamp set. I added the balloon and the koala to the front of the card. The stenciled panel was added to a piece of blue cardstock that was cut to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ and then that was added to a white A2 card base.

I hope you liked my cards today. Don’t forget, you can watch a full tutorial over on my YouTube channel showing how I made these cards.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Have a wonderful day!

Today, I created several tags using using the Birthday Circles Stamp and Birthday Circles Die Set from Pretty Pink Posh.

If you would like to watch a tutorial of me making these tags, then check out my YouTube video.

I started by coloring the images using Copic markers. Below is a list of Copic markers I used.

—-Cake with Stand – C0, C3, C4 (stand)/RV23 (frosting, candles)/YR14 (flame)/Blender, C0, C1 (cake)
—-Elephant – C0, C1, C3, C4/RV10/RV23 (dots)/C0, C1, C3, C4 and RV10, RV21, RV23 (balloons)
—-Lion – E31, E33, E35, E37, E39 (main)/E30, E33, E35 and E37, E39 (face)/E30, E37, E31 (ears)/E35, E37, E39 (body)/B91, B93 and Y02, Y08 (hat)
—-Koala – C0, C1, C2, C4/RV10, RV21, RV23/BG11, BG13, BG15, BG49
—-Presents – B24, B26, B28/YR04, YR07, YR09/Y02, Y08/YG13, YG17/R22, R24, R27, R29
—-Party Hats – B24, B26, B28/YR04, YR09/Y02, Y08/YG13, YG17/ R22, R27

After the images were colored, I die cut the tags in different cardstock colors. I pieced in the horizontal line die cuts in different colors to create a multi-color tag.

I added sentiments from the Birthday Scripts stamp set to each tag.

Finally, I added a ribbon to each tag.

For these two tags, I used bright cardstock and Copic markers to create fun, bright birthday tags.

For these tags, I used softer tones. These stamps don’t necessarily have to be used for just birthdays. You can use the tags for a new baby or baby shower.

The cake stamp reminds me of a wedding cake. You can even use it for a wedding gift tag.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Have a wonderful day!

Lisa

Cards with Alphabet and Number Dies

April 9, 2021 Lisa Mears

Hello!

Today on my blog I’m sharing three cards that I made using the new alphabet and number die set from The Stamps of Life. These dies are 4 inches in size. They are big! You can use these as the centerpiece of a card. You can also use them on large banners or as standalone letters and numbers on a fold-it card. I used these dies in three different ways.

For the card below, I used pattern paper to die cut the top layering piece and adhered it to a white shadow layer.

For the card below, I used only the dotted die and die cut into the cardstock to create this fun dot pattern.

For my final card, I used the number dies. I used all three dies with different color cardstock for the layering pieces. I love how the dots show through with a different color than the rest of the layers.

To see how I made these cards, watch my tutorial here:

Oval Flip-it Card

February 26, 2021 Lisa Mears

Hello!

There is a new flip-it card die set available on HSN. It’s the Oval Flip-it from The Stamps of Life. I LOVE to make flip-it cards because they are so easy to make. Whenever I need a quick card, the flip-it cards are my “go to” card base. Here’s a picture of the oval flip. It includes the card base, cupcake die, and the Happy Birthday word die for the center of the oval shape. It also includes a dragonfly die and a Hello word die which are not pictured. There is also an add-on set available which includes three additional word dies including Just a Note, Thinking of You, and Congrats.

January 22, 2021 Lisa Mears

Today I’m sharing 12 cards I made using the Recollections Memory Explosion Box Collection. This collection is sold at Michaels craft stores. It caught my eye because of all of the pretty pastel colors and foil throughout the paper pad. There were so many pieces to this collection, but I purchased the 6 x 6 foil paper, chipboard frame stickers, birthday die cuts, and washi tape. With these items, I made 12 birthday cards and used up all of the ephemera. Some of the cards can be used for congratulations cards as well. With the chipboard frames, I made some shaker cards. All supplies are listed below.
