Pretty Pink Posh 7th Birthday Anniversary Release Celebration!

 Hello friends!  Today we are celebrating Pretty Pink Posh's 7th Anniversary with a new release!  This release is full of amazing new products including slimline dies which are so popular at the moment.   


To celebrate the release I have created a colourful card using Let's Party stamps and co-ordinating dies along with the Layered Bokeh Stencil set for a beautiful soft background.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp images from the Let's Party stamp set on to copic friendly cardstock.  I used copic markers to colour my stamped images and the main colours were:
B60, B63, B66
RV63, RV66, RV69
BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18

Using the co-ordinating dies  I cut out the images and also cut a frame with the 'Joy' shaker die from heavy weight white card stock.  The frame was ink blended with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink.

For the background of the card I used a piece of white heavy weight card cut to 5"x 3.75" and used all 3 of the stencils in the Bokeh Layered Stencils set.  I started with the largest circles first and tapped most of the ink off my brush before gently applying the ink through the stencil.  To get depth on the layered circles I applied slightly more ink and more pressure as I moved through the different sizes of circle stencils.  The sentiment was white heat embossed on to black card stock and trimmed down to a thin strip.

The base layer of the card was a very light blue card panel cut to 5.5" x 4.25" secured directly to an A2 side folding card base.  My bokeh layered panel was secured to the card with dimensional foam tape.  The circular frame was secured with liquid adhesive and the sentiment and circular stamped panel secured with more dimensional foam tape.

To give the card some sparkle I covered all the stamped confetti images with Pretty Pink Posh jewels in Sea Glass, Watermelon and Pearl (my faves!)  I applied some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Pen to the balloons and cupcakes for extra sparkle!

With some left over ink blended scraps and coloured images I whipped up some quick tags using tag dies from Stitched Essentials 1 die set.

Winter Birthday Card

 Hello crafty friends!

It has been a few weeks since I wrote a new post but I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable Christmas period.  Things are very hectic at Pink Peppermint HQ but I'm so grateful for my crafty outlet and this lovely, supportive community.

For today's card I have created a fun, wintery birthday card using some Pretty Pink Posh goodies (*).  The sets I have used today are Penguin Pals, Holiday PalsHoliday Signs and Stitched Essentials 1 Dies.

I stamped out my images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on copic friendly card stock and coloured them in with copic markers:

Penguin - W4, W3, W1, W0, RV11, Y38

Presents - B97, B95, B93, B91

Trees - RV69, RV66, RV52, B21, B23, E47, E44, E43

For the card panel I cut a piece of white cardstock to 5.25" x 4" and blended on some Distress Ink in Chipped Sapphire, concentrating the colour in the centre of the card and fading the colour away towards the outer edges.

I white heat embossed the words happy, winter and birthday on to some navy card.  Each word was trimmed down to a small strip with a guillotine trimmer.

All of the images were adhered to the card panel.  Some trees were directly adhered with liquid adhesive and some of the trees, penguin and presents were adhered with dimensional foam tape.  Before securing the sentiments I watered down some white gauche and and flicked the whole card front with paint for a snowy scene.  The sentiments were adhered with liquid adhesive with the help of a T-square ruler to line them up straight.

Finally the whole panel was mounted on a navy panel measuring 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and secured on to an A2 side folding white card base.

With some of the left over images I created a cute tag to co-ordinate with my card.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Hope you have a great day x
