Hello, friends! Justin here, and today, I am so excited to share some candy-cane-sweet inspiration using some new holiday products! One of the things that I love most about Pretty Pink Posh products is how easy it is to mix and match various products to make beautiful creations! For this card, I combined the Candy Cane Shaker Dies with elements from the from the Christmas Bell Shaker Dies to create a festive project.

Candy Cane Shaker Dies
Christmas Bell Shaker Dies
Argyle Pierced Plate Die
Large Merry Shadow Dies
Holly Berries Clay Confetti

This card was really pretty easy to put together, which makes me love it even more! The Candy Cane Shaker Dies are super versatile, where you can use them either as a shaker element. I decided to use white and red paper to create my single candy cane. I also thought it would be fun to add some details to my candy cane, so I used the holly leaves and bow shapes from the Christmas Bell Shaker Dies. I used a little bit of ink blending to make these embellishments have some shading details.

My background was really quite fun to make as well. I had green cardstock in my stash that I die cut the Argyle Pierced Plate Die from, and ink blended the edges with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink. I splattered excess Lucky Clover ink on the panel as well. In opposite corners, I adhered a few pine branches with berries that I had die cut from the Christmas Bell Shaker Dies.

One of the last elements that I worked on was the sentiment. I used the Large Merry Shadow Dies and die cut the word Merry 3 times from white cardstock, and “stacked them” (adhered each sentiment on top of each other to create dimension). I then adhered the Merry sentiment to the shadow die cut, which I cut from dark green cardstock.

Once I adhered all my elements into place, I also used the Holly Berries Clay Slices to add some embellishment to my card.

Thank you so very much for stopping by the Pretty Pink Posh Blog today! I can’t wait to see what holiday projects you create next!

Happy Crafting!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m super happy to be back with this bright and cheerful holiday card featuring a mix & match of items from the holiday release and “older” ones, including the new Gingerbread Shaker, which is so amazing! I’m a big fan of the Pretty Pink Posh Shaker Collection, so I had to feature this cute little guy on one of my projects.

And speaking of which, I started off by building my Gingerbread Shaker following those steps: 1. I cut a Gingerbread Shaker frame out of dark kraft cardstock, applied gathered twigs distress ink on the edges, mixed that same ink with water, added brown splatters on my gingerbread frame, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink, 2. I cut a whole Gingerbread Shaker panel out of acetate, and stuck that panel at the back of the brown frame using liquid glue, 3. Still at the back of the frame, I attached foam strips all along the edges of my Gingerbread Shaker frame, bending and curving the strips to follow the shape of my die cut piece, 4. I poured a whole lot of Gingerbread shaker beads on the acetate, 5. I cut a whole Gingerbread Shaker panel out of a beige gingham pattern paper, added brown and white splatters to it, and when dry, attached it to the foam strips to close my Gingerbread Shaker, 6. I cut the icing decorative pieces out of white cardstock, added liquid stardust splatters to them, stuck them on my shaker with liquid glue, and applied glossy accents to those white pieces to make them shine.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of white cardstock, colored cardstock and pattern paper, and as always, here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Christmas Bucket Additions – gummies, candy canes, peppermint candies • Valentine Holder Additions – heart cheeks, bow • Big Valentine Cupcake – cupcake wrap, cupcake, whipped cream • Candy Treats – cookies.

To the white pieces I added liquid stardust splatters, to the pattern paper pieces I added white splatters, and to the colored cardstock pieces I applied matching distress ink to the edges, added white splatters and matching distress ink splatters. To some of them, such as the gummies, heart cheeks and candies, I added liquid stardust splatters, and just like the icing details on my Gingerbread Shaker, I applied glossy accents to the white swirling details on the cookies.

Next I cut a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of light kraft cardstock, run it through my die cutting machine along with the Argyle Pierced Plate die to give my panel a nice texture, and then used the Candy Cane Stripes stencil to add a pretty pattern, lining up with the dots created by the Argyle Pierced Plate. In one way I applied white pigment ink, and in the other way I applied candied apple oxide ink. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over my panel, I did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles, and then with lumberjack plaid oxide for contrast. When it was dry, I attached my panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light pink panel, and then to a white card base.

I assembled and attached all my elements on my card, starting with the Gingerbread Shaker, next the cupcake and then all the small decorative pieces. I gave my cute little guy a pair of wiggly eyes and three Onyx Pearls as buttons, I picked some peppermint confetti from the Holiday Gingerbread Mix, attached one on the bow and one on each peppermint candy using liquid glue, and just like the other projects I created with the September 2025 release, I applied opaque white grit paste here and there for a lovely frosty look.

I white heat embossed “Have a sweet Christmas” from Gingerbread Friends on light pink cardstock, cut it with the matching die and finally attached my sentiment right on the poinsettia cupcake wrap using foam squares. And that’s it!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Hi crafty friends! Debbie here with the Christmas Train Stamp set from the new holiday release! All the new stamp sets, dies and stencils are so fantastic! The whole release is packed with so cuteness and this set is definitely top of the list! I knew that I wanted to color it up right away!

I have been on the teal, red and pink color combination train for this whole release. So why stop now!

For most of my cards I like to start off with my background panel. So I started off with the previously released Pierced Snowflakes Plate, and ran it through with a teal card stock. Using a dark teal ink to blend on the edges to give a frame look to draw the eye into. Then splattered on some white for the extra snowy effect. Set it to the side to dry.

Next, I stamped out the images from the Christmas Train stamp set with Copic friendly ink. 

Copic Coloring Guide:
RV52, RV63, RV55, RV66
R24, R27, R29, R39
C0, C1, C3
BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18,  BG000
T3, T5, T6, T7

Once the coloring was done I used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out. Adding white highlights and foam squares to the back of the bigger images. The smaller images were tucked into the cart and attached on some of the images with liquid glue. 

Then with the Large Merry Shadow Die, I die cut it out of the teal and white cardstock. To complete my sentiment, I stamped and white heat embossed the “Christmas” from the Christmas Bells stamp set on to a red card stock popping it up with foam for dimension. With the Sentiments Strips Die to trim it out and also adding foam squares to the back of the strip. 

When I went to arrange this design, I knew I wanted it to look as though the train was climbing a hill by going back and forth up the mountain, so the train and tracks were placed at an angle. I also kept in mind to save an area for the large Merry word on the bottom of the card. It was a perfect grounding for the track!

I mentioned my color combo for Christmas, do you have a favorite combination? Only two more months until Christmas and I can’t wait to send out all my beautiful cards!

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!

Hello, crafters! Brenda back with you today! I’m sharing a Christmas card featuring the beautiful Christmas Bells Stamp Set and the Layered Christmas Bells Stencil Set with you today! I LOVE how well these products work together!

I started by stamping the bell image from the Christmas Bells Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Copic-friendly black ink. I colored it with Copic markers then used the Coordinating Die to cut it out. I die-cut some additional foliage, berries and a flower from green and red cardstock using the Winter Foliage Die Set.

For the background, I blended the Layered Christmas Bells Stencils onto an A2 panel of white cardstock using dye inks and blending brushes. It was die-cut with the largest die in the Eyelet Rectangles Die Set, then adhered to an A2 panel of red cardstock. The largest Eyelet Oval Die was cut from vellum and adhered to the center of the panel. The foliage, berries and flower were adhered with liquid glue and the stamped bells were popped up with foam squares. I added some highlights to the image and die-cuts with a white gel pen.

The sentiment, from the Christmas Banner Greetings Stamp Set, was stamped onto white cardstock with red dye ink and cut out with a die in the Banner Greetings 1 Die Set. I also die-cut another banner from red cardstock and layered it behind the stamped one, then popped it up with foam squares. I added a single yellow embellishment from the Bright Rainbow Clay Confetti Mix to the center of the flower die-cut and holly from the Holly Berries Clay Confetti Mix to each end of the sentiment banner to finish off the card.

I absolutely LOVE how this turned out and hope you do, as well! Bells are such an iconic Christmas symbol and this sentiment is perfect!

That does it for me today! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Autumn greetings, friends! Christina here to share with you a fun fall-themed shaker card showcasing some fabulous fungi products: the Mushroom Shaker, the Layered Mushroom Stencils, and the Fall Mushroom Clay Confetti. They all coordinate perfectly together and make designing and creating this shaker card a snap! Let’s get started!

Mushroom Shaker Dies
Layered Mushroom Stencils
Fall Mushroom Clay Confetti
Banner Greetings 1 Dies
Sentiment Strips Stamp Set: Fall
Scallop Frames Dies
Bright Rainbow Clay Confetti
Party Pop Clay Confetti

My first step was to create the stenciled background. I used the Layered Mushrooms Stencils with Festive Berries Distress Ink and Buttercream ink. I skipped inking the spots on the mushrooms and used tiny round white diecuts instead. These were from random dies sitting on my desk. I just needed them to be small enough to fit the mushrooms. Then I added an ivory Scallop Frame and trimmed the stenciled panel to the same dimensions. Finally, I layered these onto some red patterned paper that has a very subtle tone-on-tone dot print. 

My next step was to create the shaker. With low-tack tape, I taped the mushroom dies together and die-cut the frame eight times from plain red cardstock. I stacked them together and secured them with glue before sandwiching a piece of acetate between them and the final mushroom frame that I had die-cut from another tone-on-tone red patterned paper, this one with a woodgrain pattern. I filled the shaker and added the base piece die-cut from the same woodgrain patterned paper to the back. Finally I added an ivory stem to the mushroom, and the shaker was done!

To finish things up, I attached the mushroom shaker and added a sentiment and some clay embellishments. First, I used a stamping tool to curve a straight sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set to fit along one of the Banner Greetings dies and heat-embossed it with cream embossing powder on light blue cardstock. I attached the banner across the stem of the mushroom and added a scattering of light blue clay confetti as the finishing touch.

Thank you for checking out this autumn shaker card featuring some of the fun fungi-themed products in the Pretty Pink Posh collection. See you again soon!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m so happy to be back with this lovely Christmas card showcasing the Christmas Train from the September 2025 release. Except for the Valentine Train card I made back in January 2024, I like to use a slimline panel to feature as many wagons as possible, and for today’s card I knew since the beginning that I wanted to use the Merry Christmas Shadow dies, so I definitely needed a slimline design to feature this big sentiment right above my cute Christmas Train.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink. I cut them all with the matching dies, and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers in a brown, red, pink and minty green color palette. As always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Christmas Train – locomotive, wagons, wreath, smoke, teddy bear, holly, candy canes, present, railroad, connecting pieces • Gingerbread Friends – sack, present • Holiday Icons – Santa.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then worked on the background. I cut my panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the largest Slimline: Peekaboo Windows die, masked the stitched edges off with washi tape, and covered the whole panel with cracked pistachio oxide ink. Next I added snowflakes all over the panel using the Cascading Snowflakes stencil along with lucky clover oxide ink, and then added more details to my background. First I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, I mixed liquid stardust with water and added sparkling droplets to my panel, I did the same with copic opaque white ink for brightness and then the same again with lucky clover oxide ink for contrast. I removed the washi tape, and when my panel was dry, I attached it to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches dark minty green panel using 1mm foam tape, and then the whole thing to a matching card base.

I attached my images to my panel using 1mm and 2 foam squares, starting at the very bottom with two railroads to make one, and then the Christmas Train elements. 

For my greeting, I used the Merry Christmas Shadow dies. I cut the word pieces out of red cardstock and the shadow pieces out of vellum, stuck each red word to its matching shadow using liquid glue, and then attached the entire greeting above the train using slim pieces of 1mm foam squares. As for the final details, I applied glossy accents to my red “Merry Christmas”, to the holly berries and to the lights in the Christmas tree, and then white blizzard nuvo drops to the lights on the locomotive and wagons.

And that’s it! I hope that you like this super cute and cheerful card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Holly Jolly greetings, friends! Christina here, and I’m excited to share with you this festive card showcasing the new Gingerbread Friends stamp set. These little guys and all their holiday accessories are so adorable and are perfect for scene building on cards, creating tags, or for any of your holiday papercrafting projects that call for something a little sweet! For my design, I incorporated one of the new Holiday Word Scenes as well as the new Candy Cane Stripes Stencil that I used to make a fun plaid background.

Gingerbread Friends Stamp Set
Gingerbread Friends Coordinating Dies
Holiday Word Scenes Stamp Set
Holiday Word Scenes Coordinating Dies
Christmas Train Stamp Set
Christmas Train Coordinating Dies
Candy Cane Stripes Stencil
Eyelet Rectangle Dies
Metallic Gold Pearls

I started by creating the plaid background for my little scene. First I die-cut the Eyelet Rectangle from white cardstock and masked the edges with low-tack tape. Then I used two shades of green ink to stencil on the stripes. After stenciling the stripes one way, I rotated the stencil and stenciled darker green stripes going the opposite way. This is such an easy way to get more out of your crafty supplies! I mounted this onto a white card base and moved on to stamping and coloring my images.

I used images from the Gingerbread Friends set and, to round out my scene, just a few from the Christmas Train set. Then I colored the images with Copic Markers using a traditional red and green color palette before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies.

Here are the colors I used:
gingerbread men: E53, E33, E35, E37, RV10
reds: R24, R27
greens: G24, G46
yellows: Y21, Y26
shadows: W0, W1

Finally, I attached the images to the plaid background using foam squares for some of them to bring them into the foreground and glue for the other images, keeping them in the background. The finishing touches were to add white gel pen highlights and a few shiny Metallic Gold Pearls.

Thanks so much for reading about my festive card featuring some of the new holiday-themed stamps from the latest release! Happy crafting!

Hello, friends!! I hope you’re all doing well!! Brenda here with a sweet and festive Christmas card featuring several new sets from the holiday collection. This release is full of so many great Christmas sets! I’m still working my way through them all!

I started by stenciling the Layered Gingerbread stencil set onto tan cardstock with brown, red, green and black dye ink and white pigment ink. Once the ink was dry, the panel was die-cut with the largest die in the Stitched Torn Rectangles die set. It was then adhered to an A2 panel of red cardstock.

The Gingerbread Holder Dies were cut from brown, red, black and white cardstock. The candy cane and tree are from the Christmas Holder Additions Die Set. They were cut from red, white and green cardstock. I added a bit of shading to the die-cuts with dye inks and blending brushes, then arranged and adhered them all together with liquid glue. The second largest die in the Stitched Torn Rectangles die set was cut from vellum. The gingerbread man was adhered to the vellum with liquid glue, then the vellum was adhered to the background, adding adhesive only behind the die-cuts.

The sentiment is from the Gingerbread Friends stamp set. It was stamped onto black cardstock with Versamark ink, sprinkled with white embossing powder, then melted with a heat tool. The coordinating die was used to cut it out and it was popped up with foam tape. A few details were added to finish off the card…a white gel pen was used to add highlights, white Liquid Pearls was added to the “frosting” and a pom pom was adhered to the gingerbread man’s hat. It’s all in the details, right?

I love the rich, saturated colors on this sweet holiday card!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Hi friends! Sophie here today and I am just thrilled to share a fun and simple Christmas card featuring new products from the holiday release. 

I started out by cutting a panel of pistachio colored cardstock for my background. I used the new Argyle Pierced Cover Plate to add some subtle interest. I *love* the cover plates from Pretty Pink Posh and use them frequently. They add such fun texture and dimension and I feel that most of the designs are so universal they can be used all year around!

For my candy canes I used the new Candy Cane Shaker dies cut from pale pink and red cardstock. The pale pink paper I used is almost white but in person it gives it a fun little bit of personality instead of traditional white. 

For the sentiment I used the new Merry Shadow dies and used sorbet and white glitter cardstock. For the sentiment, I used the new Christmas Banner Greetings Stamps and Banner Greetings 1 Dies. I cannot get over these new banner sentiments I love them so much! I hope there are more in the future for different occasions.

I finished the card off with a little grouping of mistletoe greenery from the Christmas Bell shaker die set and I felt that the card didn’t need any more embellishments – which knowing myself and my love for sequins is shocking LOL! 

I hope this inspired you today. I’ll be back soon to share more!

Hello everyone! Leanne here and today I’m sharing a Christmas Bell Shaker card. I’ve created this card with a mix of fun Pretty Pink Posh products both new and old. I love pulling out previously released products and giving them new life by combining with new releases. 

I used the Winter Words Stencil to cover my A2 sized card front with holiday themed words. I used red ink to stencil the words but used a light hand with it so the red is very soft. I then sprayed the panel with Sugary Gumdrop Distress Mica Stain to give it a shimmery finish. I also added some white paint splatter. 

I then used the Christmas Bell Shaker dies to create the bell, bow, holly, and pine sprigs. To create the shaker well, I used 3mm foam tape. This gives the shaker enough depth for the Holly Berries Clay Confetti to shake around. I adhered the completed shaker to the center of the background and then adhered the holly and pine behind the top of the bell. 

The final component of the card is the greeting. I used white glitter card stock and the Christmas Greetings Script dies to create the large words. l adhered them right on top the bell shaker at a slight angle. 

I hope this gives you some inspiration to shake things up this holiday season. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
