Pretty Pink Posh May 2026 Release

Hi crafty friends! I'm excited to be guest designing for Pretty Pink Posh for their 2026 May release! You may have seen some sneak peeks from their design team over the last few days showcasing cute spring bugs themed (spring bugs, bees, caterpillars, etc) stamps, dies and stencil sets!!

💥The release is available now! Check it out the entire release HERE.💥

My fun shaker card uses the Bee Shaker die set and the background uses the Honeycomb stencil with the 2 inks listed below. To fill my little shaker I used the Bee Happy Shaker Beads and I used the black bits from the Busy Bee Clay Confetti for the bee "trail". Of course I had to add a few flower accents from the Floral Wreath Builder die set and the sentiment is from the Bee Additions stamp set with dies.

 This cute caterpillar and bee card uses the Stitched Bugs die set and I heat embossed my sentiment from the Hello Friend stamp set and coordinating die set. To create my scene, I used the main panel from the largest die from the Rounded Stitched Rectangles die set and added some grass along the bottom. Then I arranged the caterpillar, bee, grass, flowers and tucked the caterpillar between the grass blades. The sparkly yellow elements on the bee and flowers are from glitter paper that I colored with a copic marker. I love how these turned out!! Stay tuned for more inspiration using this release!!

Pretty Pink Posh 2026 Spring and Easter release

Hi crafty friends! I'm excited to be guest designing for Pretty Pink Posh for their February Spring and Easter release! You may have seen some sneak peeks from their design team over the last few days showcasing cute Spring/Easter themed (spring flowers, bunnies, chicks, watering cans, etc) stamps, dies and stencil sets!!

💥The release is available now! Check it out the entire release HERE.💥

Both of my cards start with some papers from the A2 Cottontail paper pad.  

My fun shaker card uses the Daffodil Shaker die set and the Large Spring Shadow die and to fill my little shaker I used the Pastel Dreams Shaker Beads. I kept the colors pretty true to the pattern paper and added some white splatter to the background. I wanted a pop of dimension and sparkle, so I used some glitter foam for the Spring sentiment.

This cute umbrella card uses the umbrella and sentiment dies from the Spring Holder Addons die set (this is the add on set to the sweet Chick Holder die set). The little flowers are from the Stitched Spring Flowers die set. I used the largest die from the Eylet Rectangle die set with white cardstock and added a pop of yellow to ground all the flowers.

 

I love how these turned out!! Stay tuned for more inspiration using this release!!

Pretty Pink Post Igloo shaker card

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a shaker card using products from the Pretty Pink Posh November Winter release!! 

💥The release is available now! Check it out the entire release HERE.💥

 Scroll down for a complete supply list. 

My card uses the adorable Igloo Shaker die set which measures 4" wide and is the perfect size to take up most of the card front leaving room for embellishments. I die cut a few trees with the Snowy Hills Border die set and added stickles to the branches for some sparkling snow. The adorable penguins are from the Penguin Friends stamp and coordinating die set and I colored them with copic markers. I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it out and then outlined it with a Copic marker so it would stand out against the white igloo. 

To make the background, I ink blended a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock with the inks linked below. I then added some white splatter. To make the shaker element, I die cut the igloo outline with the shaker portions die cut out 8 times and adhered together. Not all of the pieces were die cut in the exact same place, but once they are layered and filled with shaker clay confetti you can't tell at all. I filled it with Pastel Blizzard Clay Confetti pack. I love how this turned out!!

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a shaker card using products from the Pretty Pink Posh November Winter release!! 

💥The release is available now! Check it out the entire release HERE.💥

 Scroll down for a complete supply list.

My card uses the adorable Penguin Shaker die set which is the perfect size to take up most of the card front leaving room for an accent and sentiment. The sentiment is from the Christmas Banner Greetings stamp and die set. To get the sentiment split and peeking from under the snowflake, I inked, stamped and die cut the "happy" and the "holidays" separately. Then I layered the 2 banners and trimmed off the excess.

To make the background, I ink blended a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock with the inks linked below. I then used the Snowflake stencil with some clear glaze. While that was drying I made my shaker element, I die cut the penguin outline with the shaker portion die cut out 6 times and adhered together. I filled it with Pastel Blizzard Clay Confetti pack. I love how this turned out!!

Spellbinders City Holiday Collection, 2 JOY cards

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing 2 more cards from the City Holiday collection designed by Yana Smakula for Spellbinders. This collection features 3 die sets, 1 sentiment set and 1 BetterPress plate set. If you missed my first card with this collection, click here to see it.

Both my cards uses the Shadow Joy die set and some ink blending with Distress Oxide inks. The the holly leaves and berries are from the Christmas Cracker die set which is also part of this collection.

Card 1 starts with an embossed background using the Dimpled 3D embossing folder with some splatter from a couple of inks. I ink blended Bristol Smooth cardstock and then die cut the JOY and holly leaves. I added a couple flowers from the Christmas Blooms die set. 

Card 2 is a shaker card! I recycled stamp packaging and created a slim profile shaker element. To start, I inked blended Bristol Smooth cardstock with Distress Oxide inks (linked below). Next I covered it with some stamp packaging and sealed up 3 sides with 1/4" double sided tape. Then I added Bejeweled Shimmer Flakes and sealed it up the top and adhered it to a card base. 

I die cut the JOY out of a A2 panel and placed it over the shaker element. When I was done it looked a little bare, so I added a simple rectangle frame around the card base and a few black gems.

I had the cute doggie leaping across the shaker element carrying a fun birthday balloon. I love how this turned out!

Seashell shaped shaker card

 Hi crafty friends! I was putting away the stamps and dies from the Pretty Pink Posh June release and I put together this seashell shaped shaker card (say that 5 times fast) using some extra die cuts I had lying around!! 

💥Scroll down for a complete list of supplies💥

 I love a shaped card and this card is small but mighty! The seashell shaker die measures 4" tall so it can be easily slipped into a gift bag. To make the shaker element, I die cut a 3mm Adhesive foam sheet. These sheets cut surprisingly well and are perfect for shaker cards! I filled the shaker wells with the new Paradise Shaker Beads. Such bright fun colors!

I used one of the Stitched Coral die cuts and and blended it with Distress Oxide inks. The sentiment is from the Sentiment Strips: Summer stamp set. I wanted some sparkle, so I added stickles to the stitched lines in the die cuts. That's it! Easy peasy 😍

Pretty Pink Posh June Release, Seashell Shaker and Fun in the Sun Cards

 Hi crafty friends! I have 2 more cards to share today from the Pretty Pink Posh May release!! AND I'm participating in Day 5 of the Pretty Pink Posh INSTAGRAM HOP!

💖Be sure to head over to my IG and enter to win 💖

Scroll down for a complete list of supplies

For my first card, I used the Summer Words stencil and randomly inked parts with Mermaid Lagoon, Evergreen Bough and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks.

To create the shaker element, I then die cut the Seashell Shaker outline die INTO the stenciled panel. Then I covered the opening with acetate and added 3mm foam strips on the backside, creating a well for the shaker bits. Here is a photo from the backside for illustration.

For my second card, I used the Seashell Background stencil and randomly inked with Abandoned Coral and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Inks. I trimmed a strip across the card front and then added some splatter using the Mermaid Lagoon ink and a size 8 round brush.

 The sentiment is from the Summer Script die and the Sentiment Strips: Summer stamp set. Both cards use die cuts from the Stitched Coral and Stitched Seashells die sets as accents. To create depth for all my die cut accents, I lightly inked the edges with Distress Oxide Inks. I wanted some sparkle, so I added sequins and stickles to the stitched lines in the die cuts. I love how both of these turned out!
