Pretty Pink Posh June 2023 New Release - Fresh & Fruity!!

Hi guys!!! I have a really fun post for you today!!! Yes, more fruits!!! It's definitely a trend and I love it! (hint, I'll have more fruity fun on my blog in a couple weeks too! Ha!) It's just such a fresh and cheerful theme for Summertime... I have always enjoyed crafting with a fruity feeling. Got out my Copics for this post and had a blast coloring everything just so.... I forget how much I love to sit and color!! Today is day three of a giant blog hop celebrating the brand new June 2023 release from our friends at Pretty Pink Posh!! So happy, as always, to be included in the hop line up. Welcome to my stop today! I have THREE cards to share with you and I cannot wait to get started!! Prize information, hop list, and supply lists are at the bottom of my post. Thanks for joining me today! XO

CLICK HERE TO SHOP THE NEW RELEASE!

My first card is a strawberry explosion! This card features the brand new Fresh Berries Stamp Set and matching dies!! OHHHH my gosh! I also added in some little bees from one of my favorite PPP stamp sets of all time. A little bit of big gingham and we're good to go! My finished card is an A2 white card base. I layered black, then gingham, then vellum and white....

Here's a side view of my layers and a close up of the bottom of the card. For the berry basket I die cut out five baskets and then stamped the top one and colored it. This gives a LOT of dimension to the basket and makes it look 'real' to me. Did I mention how much fun it was to color these?? :-)

I wrapped twine around the berry basket and added a little heart to the bow. I looooove details.

My second card today is a POP UP! I have been obsessed with the PPP pop up box card die since it was released and I can't stop making these easy and fun pop ups!! This card features two more new sets - Watermelon and Citrus! I used the sentiment from the Summer Friends stamp set too!! I did some ink blending to look like a blue summer sky (or maybe a swimming pool!).... The folded pop up card fits into an A2 sized envelope. Again, lots more Copic coloring. Yay!

I started by stamping oranges and lemons and limes and watermelons!! I die cut them out and colored them in. I also added white gel pen accents. I also added some sparkly gems to some of the fruits. Why does this make me want a mai tai?! LOL.

I die cut the pieces for the pop up box out of juicy green cardstock. I die cut the accent pieces from white cardstock and used distress oxide ink and a blender brush to add blue shading... I stamped the sentiment on the front panel in rich black ink.

Here is the folded card in my hand to show you the size and scale. I cannot recommend this die set enough. It is SOOOO easy to make these fun pop ups!

I staggered the fruits inside the pop up panels and glued some on and used foam tape on some. I put the larger fruits at the back and tried to make it so they all show up. It's an explosion!! And this makes me happy.

My last card for today is a wee notecard featuring the brand new (awesome) Mini Scallop Card Dies set!!! It is a two piece set that makes the folded card and the smaller square front panel. This is going to get used a lot!! I used the Sweet Cherries stamp set to make the cherries. I used the brand new Smile Shadow Dies to make the sentiment.... A bit of ink blending.... and that's it! The finished card is 3" x 3" - would be perfect for gift bags or table place cards....

The Greetery - Urban Jungle Collection - New Release Day Two!

Welcome back to day two of the new release reveals for THE GREETERY! The Urban Jungle release continues on today!! If you didn't see my post for yesterday be sure to check it out too! Product reveals finish up today and the new release day will be tomorrow June 9th at 10am EST!! Are you loving the green theme? I have three more planty cards to share with you today. One is modern and two are tropical!! Ooh la la! This release is crazy cool!! Thanks for dropping by for day two...let's get started!! 

THE NEW RELEASE DAY IS FRIDAY JUNE 9TH AT 10AM EST!

I am aware that some of my project photos are still missing from random blog posts! I can't fix it on my end (ugh) and I'm waiting for Typepad to resolve it for me. Thank you for being patient while this all gets ironed out. It's been super frustrating! Photos are my mode of communication and it's making me kinda cray cray!

My first card for today features two of my favorite new things from the release!! I'm featuring the Modern Planters Dies, the Woven Cane Background Die and the new Spider Plant!! LOOOOOVE! My finished card is an A2 white card base. I used the new Woven Cane background in kraft and layered it directly onto the card. Then I popped some teal in a clean and simple card design.

Here's a side view! Another fun sentiment from the brand new Way To Grow stamp set. I used white embossing on a black label for the sentiment. Keeping it graphic and modern...

I used two shades of green to make my spider plant....it's so realistic looking! I made my pot a pretty teal color and added shading with Copics... My 'feet' for my planter were made from woodgrain cardstock....

I used white crimped circle for my planter to 'sit' on...

Here's a close up of the background die. I'm going to say this is a must have! It's is perfection and I'm going to use it A LOT!!! In fact I used it in another one of my cards today!

My second card for today is colorful and tropical! This card features the brand new Hibiscus Dies!! They are SO pretty!! I used the Woven Cane Background die in blue on blue for a textured look. My finished card is an A2 white card base, covered in blue and then layered in the same blue. I used gold paint to splash on some shimmer to the blue!!

The new dies are so dimensional and SO super easy to put together!! I used pink and orange and green.... I used a small blender brush and distress inks to add a bit of shading to the flowers and leaves.

The sentiment is from the Sentiment Suite Birthday stamp set! I embossed it in gold onto a small banner....

My final card today features the brand new Large Leaves Monstera Dies!! Obsessed! My finished card is super simple and clean... The finished card is a 5.5" x 5.5" square card. Those leaves are huge!! Seriously awesome. My background layer is a soft pink cardstock. Really a Lily Pulitzer vibe, right?

I feel like this card design would be a fun party invitation - to a tiki party or a BBQ? I die cut four of the Monstera Leaves and affixed them directly onto the pink square panel. I trimmed the overlap with some nice sharp scissorys.

I splashed on some gold paint to the panel and let that dry while I made my sentiment part. I used the Scripty Hello Die and layered it with gold cardstock and vellum for an overall elegant look.

The Greetery - Urban Jungle Collection - New Release Day One!

Hi friends!! We're gonna have some fun this week!! Soooooo excited and happy to share with you that it's new release week at The Greetery! Yippee! This new release is called "Urban Jungle" and it's for all of us plant lovers out there! Cool, elegant, and right on trend with new stamps, dies and stencils for us to play with! I do love plants, and I love a fun plant themed craft project! We will have two reveal days this release - today and tomorrow. The design team will be sharing our projects on our blogs and revealing all the new products for you. I have six cards to share with you over the next two days and they are all so different from each other. This release is super versatile in terms of styles and themes.... Are you excited too?? Let's gooooo!! 

THE NEW RELEASE DAY IS FRIDAY JUNE 9TH AT 10AM EST!

I am aware that some of my project photos are still missing from random blog posts! I can't fix it on my end (ugh) and I'm waiting for Typepad to resolve it for me. Thank you for being patient while this all gets ironed out. It's been super frustrating! Photos are my mode of communication and it's making me kinda cray cray!

My first card for today features three new products! The lovely Greenhouse Die, the new Garden Tub Filler Die and the new Way To Grow stamp set! I used a few other previously released products also for this encouragement card. My finished card is a white A2 card base. The greenhouse fits on the card front perfectly! How fun would it be to have a pretty greenhouse in your backyard?!

I had so much fun building my structure and then adding little details and textures!! To make the greenhouse building I stacked four die cuts together - to give it more thickness. I made the bottom part and the door out of woodgrain cardstock. I used distress inks and white paint to add 'age' to them both. I also used a small heart die to make a heart in the door!! EEP.  I added pots out front, just waiting for plants...

On just the top part of the greenhouse, I added vellum behind the structure to look like a frosted roof. I used the new Garden Tub Filler die to add the plants inside the greenhouse. I added a bit of interest by using Copic Markers...

The pots and the plant on the outside of the greenhouse were made using the Sitting Pretty Accessories Dies!

You're gonna love the new Way To Grow stamp set! Fun puns with a plant theme... I'm rooting for you!! For the background behind my greenhouse I used blue distress inks and blender brushes to blend a 'sky.'  A beautiful sunny day out in the garden!

My next card for today features the brand new Petal Pusher Stencils and matching dies! SOOOOOO pretty! I loved stenciling this piece! My finished card is an A2 white card base. I wanted a Mary Engelbreit feeling to my card, so I added some tiny black and white gingham and used bright vivid Summer colors. I used the sentiment from the Spring Mix stamp set!!

 

the greetery, the greetery new release, the greetery urban jungle, the greetery greenhouse die, the greetery garden tub die, the greetery petal pusher stencil, stamps and dies, handmade cards, card ideas, wanda guess, a blog called wanda

 

To start my card I first stenciled my big background panel. I shaded the inks by using both small and large blender brushes. My ink colors are listed in my supply list at the bottom of this post. I wrapped a vellum strip around the card and added the sentiment on a crimped circle die...

Here's a close up of the stencil design! There is also a matching large die to cut out the stenciling, and smaller detail dies that I used in this card.... I added black enamel dots for contrast!

I die cut out the Garden Tub using matte silver metallic cardstock. I added some shading with a grey Copic marker. I die cut the handles from brown cardstock. I used the new Garden Tub Filler (greenery) die, and the previously released Side of Greens die to add the foliage to my tub....


the greetery, the greetery new release, the greetery urban jungle, the greetery greenhouse die, the greetery garden tub die, the greetery petal pusher stencil, stamps and dies, handmade cards, card ideas, wanda guess, a blog called wanda

 

I wrapped twine around the bottom two layers of my card and used a little heart with a twine bow for interest on the side.... I used the new Little Labels stamps and dies to make the sentiment.... I tucked the greens into the tub and attached that part to my card using foam tape.... The perfect card for your fellow plant lover friends!

Taylored Expressions New Card Kit - Love Grows Here!

Hi friends! Happy Mon...I mean Tuesday! It sure feels like Monday after a nice long weekend! I hope you are doing well and enjoying the beginning of Summer where you live! We had a nice weekend with church, and gardening and even went to a movie. Our weather has been postcard perfect and I am loving it. I keep waiting for it to be super hot but our temps have been great. And this week it's going to be June! Can't believe it!

I am aware that some of my project photos are still missing from random blog posts! I can't fix it on my end (ugh) and I'm waiting for Typepad to resolve it for me. Thank you for being patient while this all gets ironed out. It's been super frustrating! Photos are my mode of communication and it's making me kinda cray cray!

Today I'm sharing a card I made with the brand new fabulous card kit from Taylored Expressions! It's called Love Grows Here and it's full of plants! Ever notice how there are certain trends in stamping and crafting? Well, plants are 10000% on trend right now! And I love it. I am definitely a plant person. Are you? The new card kit has stamps and stencils and dies and more!! I think you're gonna love it too. Here's my card that features the elements from the new kit. My finished card is an A2 card base, covered with woodgrain paper and then lots of green and earth tones...

Here's a side view of my layers and my plant shelves! So much fun!!

The stencils and matching dies in this kit are genius! You stencil all the pots on a piece of paper and the die cut them all out at once with the matching die. Then you stencil all the plants and die cut them at once too. Super easy for great results. I used warm earth tones and then splattered on some white paint to the pots for a bit of interest.

The sentiments in the card kit are so cute!! And with one of my favorite things - mixed fonts.

For my embellishments I used some green glitter gems and one little heart.... I used foam tape to mount my plants onto the card. I used the dies to create some plant shelves in shades of brown. Looks like a plant store!

I also used some of my previously released favorite things from Hero Arts! My card took on kind of a vintage/mixed media vibe and I love how it came out!! My finished card is an A2 cream cardstock card base. I layered kraft woodgrain paper and then a cream tag for the focal point.

Here's a side view of my layers. I used foam tape to pop the tag up from the card. Everything is nice and inky too!

These new Butterfly Transfers are SO BEAUTIFUL! And really just super easy to use! I used three different transfers onto cream cardstock and then die cut them out with the matching dies. I splashed on some gold watercolor paint and set them aside to dry to make the rest of my card.

I used the Mixed Textures stamp set to stamp pretty text, clock faces and a fleur de lis too! To make the tag I used the Hero Arts Nesting Tags Dies. I used three shades of Distress Inks to create a nice wash of matching colors behind the butterflies. All the stamps were stamped with brown ink. On the edges of the tags I rubbed on Embossing Ink and gold embossing powder for shimmery accents.

I used the sentiment from the Tropical Flowers set and inked it onto a banner.... I inked it up to match the feel of the tag.

Once the tag was dry I used liquid glue to glue down just the centers of the butterflies. While the glue was drying I used my bone folder to hold the bodies in place and held the wings up with my fingers. I love this look!

The Greetery - Hip Hip Hooray - Mini Cake Birthday Card!

Hello Hello Hello!! How are you today?! I have been making A LOT of birthday cards lately! And today I have one more for you! I think that's good, because we always need birthday cards around! It's my day to share a project on The Greetery Blog today, and I also wanted to share my card here on my blog with all of you.... I used some supplies from the newest release along with some previously released birthday products to make today's card. I made a rainbow mini cake! Yippeeee! Hip Hip Hooray indeed!

***I am aware that some of my project photos are still missing from random blog posts! I can't fix it on my end (ugh) and I'm waiting for Typepad to resolve it for me. Thank you for being patient while this all gets ironed out. It's been super frustrating! Photos are my mode of communication and it's making me kinda cray cray!***

My finished card is an A2 white card base... I used the awesome Delightful Digits background die in teal for the base of my card.... I layered on some streamers too! My feature is that super adorable Mini Cake from the latest release! I used a bright and vivid tropical color palette and added some sparkle! I splashed on silver watercolor paint for a hint of shimmer.... It's a party basically! Ha.

I die cut a white tag using the Tag Team Duo dies for my focal layer. On the tag, I stamped a few yellow starbursts and added rhinestones. Next up, I die cut all the pieces for the cake! I used the Takes The Cake Mini dies and cut out a tropical rainbow of cardstocks to layer. The cake stand is silver cardstock.

To finish up I added a twine bow in matching teal, and made the tiny cake banner out of vellum. I stamped the sentiment in rich black ink using the Takes The Cake stamp set. I really love the font on this set! I assembled the card using foam tape to 'pop' up the tag and the cake.

Sunny Studio Stamps - Summer Release Guest Designer - Cupcakes and Kitties!

Hi everyone! Happy Weekend! Hope your week was excellent! I had a busy and good week. I donated Platelets and Plasma again on Wednesday after a great Bible Study class.... And I actually built in a day of pampering for myself during the week (reading, facial, quiet time, organizing...)  Last night was really fun too! Our church puts on the "Enchanted" Prom for teens and young adults with special needs, and it is seriously the most uplifting thing ever. I volunteered to be paparazzi and greet the guests and take photos!! Everyone gets to dress up and walk the red carpet and dance dance dance. Makes my heart incredibly full. Today is a day to get caught up at home! Chores and blogging and creating! I hope you have a fun weekend planned! I think we are finally at Summer here - it's the 90's every day now! 

***I am aware that some of my project photos are still missing from random blog posts! I can't fix it on my end (ugh) and I'm waiting for Typepad to resolve it for me. Thank you for being patient while this all gets ironed out. It's been super frustrating! Photos are my mode of communication and it's making me kinda cray cray!***

I have a fun blog post for you today! I am a guest designer this month for the wonderful new Summer Release from Sunny Studio Stamps! I have loved their stamps and dies from day one.... Everything is so happy and cheerful and fun to create with. I made two birthday cards to share with you! CLICK HERE to visit the Sunny Studio Store!!

My first card for today features the brand new (and perfectly named) Scrumptious Cupcakes stamps and dies! I made a rainbow of swirly cupcakes using the genius three step stamps!! My finished card is a white A2 horizontal card base. I covered the card with teal stripes and then a frilly frame.... I used vellum and silver heat embossing too!! It's a confection! I wish I could eat this card. LOLZ.

Here's a side view of the card. I put all the layers together first, and then wrapped the embossed vellum around the entire card front. Then I glued it onto the white card base. I didn't want to detract from all the colorful cupcakes!! The cupcakes were affixed to the card using foam tape.

I stamped each cupcake top in a rainbow shade using three colors of inks.... I kept the cupcakes the same (brown) and the papers the same (gray) to make the colors pop!! All my ink colors and ink pads used are listed in the supplies at the bottom of my post - or click here!

For the top, focal, panel, I die cut a white zig zag rectangle with the MIni Mat 4 die set, and ink blended just the top with Distress Oxides and Blender Brushes. I stamped the sentiment right onto the blue portion after it was dry. How adorable are those birthday kitties??!! I stamped and die cut the three images and colored them with Copic Markers. One is Lucky, of course! The other one is Buddy, my sweet orange Tabby who passed away...and that third one is my childhood pet Tippy!! Hee hee.

Here's a close up of my layers and that pretty balloon! I want to take a moment to stress how much I LOOOOOVE Sunny Studio patterned papers!! I have a stack about a foot tall and I used them all the time!! Think stripes, gingham, polka dots and more. The reason I love them is that they are super thick, and double sided patterns...and the colors are incredibly saturated and vivid. I am telling you - check them out!! CLICK HERE to see the papers!

Pretty Pink Posh May 2023 New Release - You're SO Tweet!

Hi guys! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? We had a nice weekend here in Sacramento! Hope you're ready for a fresh new week and some creating and crafting! Last week I shared a card I made with the new Pretty Pink Posh release for the big Blog Hop.... And today is the first day of the big Instagram Hop for the new release. I have a fun card to share with you - more birdies, Copic Markers and some ink blending too.... If you have Instagram, be sure to head over and leave a comment on all the posts for the hop so you can be eligible to win a prize. Let's get started on my card for today!

My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with kraft, teal and white. I used the brand new Swiss Dots Stencils with white ink on the kraft to create my background. My card features the brand new A Little Birdie stamps and dies and the brand new Spring Birdhouses stamps and dies. I also used the previously released Floral Corners stamps, and the pop up box dies in a different way too!

This sentiment is really cute!! I could see this as a thank you card or a just because card.... Here's a side view of my layers and pieces....

I started by stamping and die cutting out the birdhouse, branch, floral spray and birdies, and coloring everything with Copic Markers. I added white gel pen accents as well.

To frame my little scene, I used parts and pieces of the Scalloped Box Pop Up Card dies! I used the back portion for the arch and the front panel for my sentiment. I wanted a little pop of yellow, so I ink blended Distress Oxides in yellows on both white panels. Yellow just automatically makes everything more cheerful.

Pretty Pink Posh May 2023 New Release Blog Hop - Just a Note Birdhouse Card!

Hello crafting pals! It's MAY! Wow, the year is flying! It's almost Summer! I hope you're having a great week so far. My week has been busy and starting tomorrow we are going to a church conference which I am very excited about! Life is good in the neighborhood!! Today I'm here on the blog as part of the giant blog hop celebrating the new May 2023 release from Pretty Pink Posh! You know Paulina has made more new cute things for us to create with, and everything is perfect for late Spring and early Summer..... 

The blog hop this month is three days, and as usual, there will be an Instagram hop next week and I'll share another card then too. Today is my day in the hop lineup and I'm happy to share a project with you! Prizes, supplies, discounts and the link list are at the bottom of my post today. Let's get started!

THE PPP NEW RELEASE IS ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR SHOPPING NOW!!

I am seriously in love with everything from the new release!! Today's card features the brand new Decorative Birdhouse Dies and the brand new Stitched Birds Dies! I also used the previously released Just a Note Script Dies! LOVE.... My finished card is a white A2 card base layered with blue, gingham and white. I wanted a real hot Summer day vibe... You know, a gingham tablecloth, sunflowers, and birdies chirping....

I had my idea for my card and I knew I wanted Sunflowers....so I got out my Spring Foliage Dies set and used yellow and brown to create small scale Sunflowers to add to my birhouse. They are so dang cheerful!! My birdhouse was constructed with two colors of brown cardstock and gingham paper. I matched the blue in the bird to the gingham paper for a nice look.

I gently pinched the petal of the sunflowers to make them a bit 'rustic' and to pop up off the card. Here are the different elements of the birdhouse... I added a sweet red heart over the door!
