Welcome Little One Trio - Pretty Pink Posh March Release

Good morning! I'm stopping by today with a few baby cards to celebrate the BRAND NEW March Release from Pretty Pink Posh (also available in a bundle HERE if you just want it all!)! Paulina, owner of Pretty Pink Posh, welcomed her first baby just a few short weeks ago, so instead of doing a formal blog hop post, the Design Team is just sharing our projects with the new release today. There is tons of inspiration - so keep your eyes open for posts with the new products! With a new baby in the Pretty Pink Posh household, is it any surprise that there are lots of baby theme items in this release?!?!? So how could I resist refilling my baby card stash just a bit? :) 

I also love making card sets, especially when I can find one design and just change things up a bit for variety. So I made a boy version, girl version, and then a yellow one for those times when you just don't know!

Each of these cards began with the background using Layered Clouds Stencils, Distress Inks, and Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel in white.

I used Layer A to softly stencil in my chosen ink color using a blending brush. I then placed Layer B over the top, and blended the same ink to a deeper shade. Before removing the stencil, I added a good coating of the glitter gel to make it sparkle as well as add dimension.

While those dried, I moved onto the other parts of the card!

I die cut the adorable scallop square from Spring Days Coordinating Dies from 3 colors of cardstock (love this hidden gem that is super versatile!). 

I heat embossed the sentiment onto each one in white from Little Ones stamp set after planning where I was going to place my image on each one.

I stamped both of the images from Little Ones stamp set and die cut them with the coordinating dies, and then added an image from Baby stamp set, also die cut with the coordinating dies.

I added some super simple coloring with Copics before adhering them onto my scallop squares, and attaching them with foam adhesive onto my stenciled card bases.

I added a touch of Glossy Accents to parts of each of the images - just to add a bit of shine and dimension to them.

Finally, finished off with some jewels in coordinating colors of Cornflower, Pink Blush, and Buttercream!

I love these soft and sparkly cards - the new product made it so easy to put together a super trio of baby cards in a rather short time, which was very helpful!

Glimmer Mist Clouds - Simon Says Stamp April 2020 Card Kit

Good morning! Stopping by today to share another card created with the NEW April Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Follow the Rainbows! This kit is full of rainbow happiness - just the thing for our crazy stress filled world right now! The included stamp set by the same name is just lovely and filled with fabulous sentiments, the fun Clouds for Days stencil is super fun, the pattern paper is RAINBOWS, there is some embossing powder - not to mention the Cardstock, Envelopes, and more!

The past couple months I decided to try filming a video for my cards using the monthly card kits - I have had such a great response so far that I will continue as time allows. I've posted the video for this card on my YouTube channel HERE, and also below so you can watch either place you prefer. :)

Here is the video sharing how this card came together:

For this card, I used some of the gorgeous pattern paper in the kit, and some Gina K Glitter Glitz Gel in white, paired up with the Clouds for Days stencil to create a fun sparkly background.

I kept the main image from the Follow the Rainbows stamp set simple, stamped in black ink on white cardstock, then carefully fussy cut out. Then heat embossed the sentiments on black cardstock, trimmed it all down, and mounted those and the main image with foam adhesive over my rainbow and sparkly cloud background!

Here is a closer look at the entire kit contents - you can find all the details HERE:

I can't get enough of the lovely rainbow papers in this kit - SOOOO gorgeous and fun!

Watercolor Rain Scene - Simon Says Stamp April 2020 Card Kit

Hello! I'm (finally!) stopping by to share my first card created with the NEW April Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Follow the Rainbows! This kit is full of rainbow happiness - just the thing for our crazy stress filled world right now! The included stamp set by the same name is just lovely and filled with fabulous sentiments, the fun Clouds for Days stencil is super fun, the pattern paper is RAINBOWS, there is some embossing powder - not to mention the Cardstock, Envelopes, and more!

The past couple months I decided to try filming a video for my cards using the monthly card kits - I have had such a great response so far that I will continue as time allows. I've posted the video for this card on my YouTube channel HERE, and also below so you can watch either place you prefer. :)

Here is the video sharing how this card came together: 

I am by no means an expert when it comes to watercolors - but had so much fun with this bright red pop of color with the moody blacks and grays in the background! I used my MISTI to stamp my image from Follow the Rainbows a few times with black ink on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper, then just slowly watercolored the image in.

My camera had a problem at the end, and didn't correctly film the final part of the video when I added the cloud stenciling (grrr!!!) - but I basically just blended simple layers of clouds over the background with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink and the Clouds for Days stencil in the kit. Die cut the panel with a Stitched Rectangle, and popped it on a Fog cardbase.

Here is a closer look at the entire kit contents - you can find all the details HERE:

I think this would be fun to do with different colors as well - perhaps make an entire set! What color would you choose?

Big Floral Bouquet - Pinkfresh Facebook Live Cards

Good morning! Last Thursday was the day for our weekly Pinkfresh Studio Facebook Live! If you missed the Live video and want to take a peek, you can find it on the Pinkfresh Facebook Page - this week's video is available HERE. As always, there was one giveaway for someone who watched live, so make sure and pop in each week to win that live giveaway - 10 AM Pacific time on Thursday morning!

I have been trying to post info here the next day on the card (or cards) we make - for those that aren't on Facebook or maybe didn't see it over there - but thought I might switch things up and post the day before the NEXT Facebook Live, as a reminder that there will be one the next day. We'll see how it goes - and if this works better! So without further ado, here is a look at the card we created last week - we used some different colors and sentiments, so you may want to check out the replay of the video!

On the last week we did a Facebook Live, we used the beautiful Wildflower Sketches stamp set without the coordinating dies. This past week, we used that set again, but this time with the coordinating dies to cut out several of the elements. It pairs up so lovely with that large bouquet from Layered Bouquet stamp set, don't you think?

We used some lovely Pinkfresh inks to stamp the images out (links to the colors used can be found below). Also tucked half of a die cut Intricate Mandala underneath the bouquet to add some interest to the white cardbase.

A stamped sentiment, some jute string, and a few lovely Crystals from Essentials: Crystals Mix finish this card off!

Stormy Times - Reverse Confetti March Release

Hello! The world is a pretty crazy place right now, isn't it? Well...I still have some cards to share from the March Release from Reverse Confetti (remember the ones I didn't get to post due to being stuck on vacation with the flu? Yep - those are the ones!). I thought maybe I'd start by sharing this simple and bright rainbow card - we could all use this reminder, don't you think?

This card was super simple and easy to create! I used the new Diagonal Scallops Cover Panel for the main image of the card - and to create that rainbow background, I actually just selected some Copic  markers, randomly tried to match my angle to that of my cover die, and then scribbled the colors across, blending a bit between each color for a smooth transition. Super easy!

To add the sentiment from Perfect Timing stamped on one of the negative squares I had saved from Double Stitch Window Cover Panel - I always hate to waste a perfect simple square from another die!

I added some black jute string wrapped around and tied in a bow before mounting the sentiment with foam adhesive.

Here are the products I used that you can find at Reverse Confetti:
