Pretty Pink Posh: Love Mail...

Happy Monday everyone.. today I am here with you sharing another fun Pretty Pink Posh guest design post. I have been having lots of fun designing with these adorable images and today it is all about that happy mail... so let's get started.

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a panel on white cardstock A2 size and die cut the largest Eyelet Rectangle die on this panel. Leave the die in place, you can tape it down but make sure there is no take in the center area of the die. Let's ink blend Ranger Oxide inks Prize Ribbon and Candied Apple. When you finish remove the die and see how it acted as a mask and left the border around white. I love this trick. 

Stamp out these adorable images from the Sending Love stamp set on white cardstock using black ink. Color the images using your favorite medium and then die cut them out using the coordinating Sending Love dies. Now it is time to create a fun scene. Make sure to leave room for your sentiments. Use foam tape and liquid glue on different images when layering. 

Stamp out the HAPPY MAIL sentiment from the Sending Love on white cardstock using black ink and die cut using the coordinating Sending Love dies. Adhere your sentiment to the card. 

Stamp the rest of your sentiment directly onto your background using black ink.

Adhere your panel to your card using foam tape for little more dimension.

 That is all for today. I hope that I have inspired you today with these adorable Pretty Pink Posh images. All links are listed below. 

Have a blessed day!

Husband's Birthday Card...

Welcome blog friends.. today I am sharing the card that I created for my husband's birthday. He actually reads my blog (so supportive) so I had to wait to share this card. He loves my colorful side and how I use color so I went with lots of color for this card. 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a panel on white watercolor paper A2 size and add some of Pink & Main Watergems Sparkling Watercolors. These are in powder form so all you do is add a little water and just blot the color there and there until your panel is full of color. Let dry completely before handling. 

Die cut The Stamp Market Oh My Stars background on your colorful watercolor background. Add some foam tape to the back of the star background and adhere it to your card base. 

Die cut a scalloped circle on white cardstock and add a little teal ink in the center but don't ink up completely. 

Stamp the Happy BDAy sentiment from the Taylored Expressions Best Mix Ever stamp set using embossing ink and heat emboss with gold embossing powder. Die cut the sentiment using the coordinating dies. Adhere the sentiment using foam tape to the center of the scalloped circle.  Add some foam tape to the back of the scalloped circle and adhere it to the card. 

This next sentiment is from the Taylored Expressions building blocks collection. 

A fun and colorful birthday card for my special man... BTW he loved it. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a wonderful day!

Thinking of You...

Happy April blog friends.. I am so excited it is April, as it is my birthday/anniversary month. These are good things to celebrate... right? Today as you can tell I am all about spring. I have brought out all the pretty spring colors. 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Stamp the Taylored Expressions Spring Array cling stamp on white cardstock using green ink. I used Pinkfresh Studio Meadow ink. This set comes with 4 stencils and that is where all the flowers show up. Pick colors that make you happy. I used Pinkfresh Studio: Mimosa, Bubble Gum, Sweet Mustard, Hydrangea, Seaside and Summer Showers. Each stencil lines up perfectly, just take your time and line it up before adding the ink. 

I did a little fussy cutting around the Spring Array. I fussy cut just half of the image as you can see in the photo. I kept the corner lined up so it fit into the corner of my card. 

Pick two pieces of designer paper that you think will go with your color combo. These papers I used I have no idea who makes them... sorry. They are left overs from some 6x6 paper pads I have had for years. I started with the green and blue polka dot and adhere it to my card base and trimmed off excess. I then added more glue to the area I wanted the second pattern and then lined it up and adhere it to the polka dots. Trim off excess. 

I then added foam tape to the back of my Spring Array and add it to the card. 

I finished with adding some gems on the pink flowers using liquid glue and then stamping the sentiment from the Taylored Expressions: Diamond Botanical stamp set directly onto my card using black ink. 

A Spring filled Thinking of you card.... Don't you just love those flowers? 

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a wonderful first day of April.
