Welcome to day 5 of the Pretty Pink Posh 's 10th Birthday Blog Hop! I am happy to be a guest designer for this fun occasion! I have a few projects using goodies from this birthday celebration release. This first card was made using the new Party Balloon dies. I die cut them from colored cardstock and arranged them on a white ink blended panel. I used the Celebrate shadow die cut from gold and white cardstock. This second card was made using the new Half Stars stencil , the new Birthday Cupcakes stamps and dies and the Happy Birthday shadow dies.   I colored the cupcakes with copic markers. The third card I have made using the Party Time stamp set and coordinating dies. I ink blended a sky background and colored the balloon and gift image using copic markers.

They were die cut from colored cardstock and arranged on the panel stenciled with the new B...

It's almost that special day! I have some inspiration for you to make a gorgeous one of a kind valentine to give to your sweetheart? Today's project features the Simon Says Stamp Leafy Sprig die and the CZ Love Ya die. To make this card I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down another piece of white cardstock to leave a bit of a border. I added some distress ink all around the edges. I then die cut the Leafy Sprig die several times out of scrap pieces of red and pink cardstock. I randomly added the leaves all over the inked panel with foa...

You don't have to spend a lot to make a big impact! I'm happy to share a couple of projects using a budget friendly stencil set from Simon Says Stamp . I made a birthday card and a gift tag to match using the Simon Says Stamp All the Balloons stencil and the All the Balloons Patterns stencil set . I made this card using an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then took another pane of white cardstock to add a cloud background using a cloud edge stencil and oxide ink. I used a blender brush to add the ink. I then trimmed down the panel to leave a bit of a white border. I used the above mentioned balloon stencils and oxide inks to create the balloons. I then used a die from the Simon Says Stamp Cute the Confetti stamp set to cut out the large size balloon. I made three of them. You don't need the die if you don't have that stamp set. You could easily fussy cut out the ballon after stenciling it. I die cut the Wish Big sentiment from silver and white card...

It's been a while since I have made a slimline card! When I saw the Mama Elephant Jar of Hearts stamp set I thought it would be fun to have falling hearts into the jar and a slimline card base is perfect for that scene! I created this card using an 6X3 slimline card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then die cut a stitched slimline panel from craft cardstock. I then stamped the images from the Mama Elephant Jar of Hearts stamp set and colored them with copic friendly ink and colored them with red and pink copics. I fussy cut them out and arranged them on the stitched panel. I die cut the love sentiment o...
