Love & Thanks with Pretty Pink Posh Winter Mug

Morning all!

Well, the time has finally come, my beloved Tuesday morning breakfast hang out is closing at the end of the month.

It's still hard to believe. But for the past few years it's been the place for us to catch up, talk rubbish, and enjoy a wonderful breakfast like no other. I will definitely miss my avocado toast there, toasted banana bread, and many of the lunch options too - like the chicken stack and the halloumi bagel... sigh....

But to say thank you to the wonderful owner, I created a bespoke card from our breakfast crew....

Paper: Honey Bee Stamps - Fresh Brewed (r)
Dies: Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Mug, Spellbinders - Merry Mug Creations, The Stamp Market - Love and Thanks, The Stamp Market - Scalloped Window Frame

First up, I grabbed the Love & Thanks die set from The Stamp Market to cut the sentiment from four colours, à la the mugs and teapots that have graced our table...

The mug and hot chocolate surface is cut with the Winter Mug die set from Pretty Pink Posh.

But I needed some non-festive elements to decorate it with. So I grabbed the Merry Mug Creations set from Spellbinders for the cream swirl, chocolate pieces, and dainty marshmallows.

There had to be a chalkboard backdrop, some cork (for the place mats/coasters), and some wood for the window aperture cut with the Scalloped Window Frame die.

Until next time, happy crafting!

Festive Fridays: Noel Cabin Snowglobe

Morning all!

Continuing my tradition of featuring little houses (or indeed big houses) on my festive makes, I managed to snag a great addition to my collection in a recent sale.

Sentiment stamp and die: Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Greetings
Dies: Poppy Stamps - Cabin Snowglobe Pop-Up Easel (r), Poppy Stamps - Cottage Globe (r)

The Cabin Snowglobe Pop-up Easel set from Poppy Stamps has featured in my Christmas projects for several years now.

And finally I have a gingerbread house I can use with it. Yay!

I've used several cardstock shades from my Spellbinders ColorWheel pack and Concord & 9th for this project, here's a list:

• Spellbinders: Chiffon, Bellini, Truffle, Acorn, Fawn, Beeswax, Fern, Pomegranate
• C9: Evergreen, Rainforest, Matte Gold

This project was a great way to use up smaller scraps of cardstock for all the little details.

My little gingerbread house is finished off with a glittery roof and some white pen detail for snow on the windows and some details around the frames.

I really should have added the doorknob on the door after assembling the scene, so you could see it! But once again the Posca gold pen came out for that accent.

The Oxide blended sky includes some snowy splatter - any excuse!

And finally, I already had a sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Winter Greetings set stamped and cut ready for a project, so used it here. I think the fonts in that set are a great fit for this project style too.

And there we go, another little house scene ready for the festive season.

Until next time, happy crafting!

Festive Fridays: Merry and Bright

Happy Friday all!

I'm back with another Festive Friday project, this time using some more recent supplies from Pretty Pink Posh.

Stamp: Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Greetings
Dies: Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Greetings, Pinkfresh Studio - Diagonal Stitched Rectangles, Pretty Pink Posh - Fringe Tree
Stencils: Pretty Pink Posh - Layered Snowflakes, The Greetery - Airmail Border

The Fringe Tree went right on my wish list last winter, when I saw it.

A perfect way to make a fun and impactful card with a bit of texture.

And the perfect way to combine different cardstock colours.

I went with Dijon, Blush, Cheeky, Fern, and Aspen from The Stamp Market and added a splattering of white ink to the tree before adding the star and trunk.

I also wanted a festive wintry background, so inked up an A2 panel of Neenah with Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina Oxides. Then went over it with Pretty Pink Posh Layered Snowflakes stencils using Seaglass dye ink followed by some spritzes of water.

It's a subtle effect, but you can see the snowflakes more clearly when tilting the card to the light.

I then added a splatter of white and pearlescent white paint to the background after cutting it out with the Diagonal Stitched Rectangle die.

For a bit more pink, I inked around my white cardbase with Blush ink, then went over it with the Airmail Border stencils from The Greetery using Blush and Cheeky ink.

Next I assembled all the elements and added the sentiment from the Winter Greetings set, finishing the card off with some clear sequins on the tree and some crystal sequins from The Greetery on the background.

Until next time, happy crafting!

Festive Fridays: Dear Santa

Morning all!

I'm back with another Festive Friday card featuring some (sadly) retired products, but a new-to-me sentiment set.

Digital papers: Pebbles - Cozy and Bright
Stamps: Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Greetings, SugarPea Designs - You're My Type (r)
Dies: Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Greetings, SugarPea Designs - You're My Type (r), MFT - Tall Snow Globe (r)

The You're My Type set from SugarPea Designs always gets a festive outing. It wouldn't be Christmas without this little typewriter and the letter to Santa.

This year I'm pairing it with some digital papers from a favourite Pebbles line - I was so happy to be able to use the Cozy & Bright papers again, especially as I have only teeny scraps of the original 12x12 still left in my stash.

The typewriter is showcased in the Tall Snow Globe die from MFT, which is also retired, but I cut the vellum globe bit down to size so I could fit in the new sentiment from Pretty Pink Posh's Winter Greetings set.

I also used the bough stamp in the set to add the decorative detail on the wooden base of the snow globe.

Until next time, happy crafting!

Fringe Heart Birthday Wishes with Pretty Pink Posh

Morning all!

I'm back with a fun birthday card featuring a new addition to my stash supply!

It's the Fringe Heart die set from Pretty Pink Posh.

I do love a fringe effect and this die set looked super versatile, even though it's intended for Valentine's Day, which isn't a huge deal over here like it is in the US.

But hearts are perfect for many occasions, including birthdays.

Stamps: Waffle Flower - Birthday Wishes, The Greetery - Sparkler Background
Dies: Waffle Flower - Birthday Wishes, Pretty Pink Posh - Fringe Heart, The Greetery - Deco Frames

I started out by picking a 4-colour palette from my Pinterest board for Color Crush combos from The Stamp Market - the cardstock colours I picked are listed below.

I set aside the assembled heart to search for the perfect sentiment in my stash, and I never need to look far with Waffle Flower's Birthday Wishes set.

Next I needed a celebratory background for the heart, so I stamped The Greetery's Sparkler Background on Pale Rose cardstock in Blush ink and cut out the background panel with the Deco Frames die also from The Greetery, mounting it on a cream card base.

Finally, I finished off the card with some sparkly sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Until next time, happy crafting!

Wheely Good Fun - Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Morning all!

There's a fun new challenge from Joanne over on the Daring Cardmakers blog today where she would like us to feature something with wheels on our cards.

Well, this is the perfect excuse for me to finally photograph a set of cards I made back in April with the Winter Wonderland stamp and die set from Concord & 9th and a few other supplies for good measure.

I was seriously behind on my Christmas cards then, and made 11 or so cards in this batch and here's a look at some of them:

Stamps: Concord & 9th - Winter Wonderland
Dies: Concord & 9th - Winter Wonderland, Pinkfresh Studio - Notched Corner Frame
Stencils: Pretty Pink Posh - Layered Candy Canes, Pretty Pink Posh - Layered Snowflakes

This was the first outing for my Winter Wonderland stamp and die set, so I made a load of snow globes to feature the Let It Snow sentiment with the iconic red car + Christmas tree on the roof.

I created wintry backgrounds with the Layered Candy Canes and Layered Snowflakes stencils from Pretty Pink Posh on pink and aqua A2 panels.

And then used the Notched Corner Frame dies from Pinkfresh Studio for some layering.

When I ran out of cars, I created snow globes with the Winter Wonderland scene in different shades.

And once everything was assembled, I added some sparkly Stickles to the snow on the snow globes and to the stencilled snowflakes.

Make sure you check out the projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!

Happy crafting!

Cheers! - Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Morning all!

There's a brand-new challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog today, where Joanne has challenged us to raise a glass/cup of our favourite tipple.

Well, I am most partial (in cooler months - aka July 2024) to a hot chocolate with all the works. Especially a Black Forest hot chocolate!

And I am continuing on my Christmas in July crafting odyssey, so here's what I made:

Stamps: The Stamp Market - Tis the Season
Dies: The Stamp Market - Tis the Season, Lawn Fawn - Stitched Snowflakes, Pinkfresh Studio - Notched Corner Frame, Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Mug, The Greetery - Ribbon Maker Large Scallops, Waffle Flower - Poinsettia Cluster
Stencil: Pretty Pink Posh - Layered Snowflakes

I actually started out this card with the card base already covered in the pink cardstock that I'd previously blended with subtle pink Layered Snowflakes using the stencils from Pretty Pink Posh. I'd also already stuck the Notched Corner Frame down on it too - and at some point I's abandoned the card and it was sitting in my "to use" bin on my desk until this challenge came alone.

So I grabbed a few more items from that bin, namely the Waffle Flower Poinsettia Cluster foliage that didn't end up getting used for their release, and the Ribbon Maker Large Scallops border.

Once I'd cut and ink blended the Winter Mug elements that I wanted to use, it was just a matter of adding a fitting sentiment to the card and some finishing touches with Stitched Snowflakes from Lawn Fawn and some clay accents to the centres. :)

Fair warning, I think my Christmas in July projects will continue for a bit longer. lol

Make sure you check out the projects from the rest of the team here, and play along if you can!

Happy crafting!

Hey Sunshine

Morning!

I'm back with another card inspire by Julie's Baseball Cards series over on Instagram.

Here's prompt #2:

So there's quite a bit of off-white/cream here with the pop of red and yellow.

But well, I couldn't stop there, I added in some blue too!

I had planned to definitely use the red horse paper in the Willow Lane collection as my main background, and here's how things developed:

Papers and ephemera: Crate Paper - Maggie Holmes - Willow Lane (r)
Stamp: Flora & Fauna - Everyday Word Party
Dies: Pretty Pink Posh - Stitched Strips, PTI - Tag Sale #10 (r), The Stamp Market - Fringe Borders

I used other papers from that collection to incorporate the contrasting border at the bottom and the mustard yellow fringe and stitched edge detail.

I found a cool sentiment in the matching ephemera pack and simply stamped an extra sentiment directly on it, then to make it stand out I grabbed a tag die and more Willow Lane paper.

To bring everything together, I deployed an old Martha Stewart butterfly punch to cut little blue and yellow butterflies.

Until next time, happy crafting!
