Hi friends! I’m so excited to share with you a couple sneak peeks of the upcoming January release. We are celebrating Pretty Pink Posh’s 5th birthday, which means this release is full of birthday bliss! Today I made two cards made with some of the new dies.

For my first card, I used the new Happy Birthday Script Die. I die-cut it 3 times out of white card stock, then one time out of white card stock that I had blended Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink onto. I glued and stacked the words together with Ranger Multi Media Matte.

Next I die-cut the large heart from the new Scallop Hearts die set out of white card stock. I blended Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink onto another piece of white card stock, then die cut with the heart again. I used the center of the inked heart for my card front.

To assemble the card front, I pieced the heart together, then fit it back into the die-cut frame. I mounted the card front onto a piece of craft foam, then attached it to an A2 size card base. I glued the words on, and added a little cupcake bear from the new Cupcake Critters stamp set that I had previously stamped and colored. My final touch was adding a few Sea Glass Jewels. 

My second card features the new With Love Shaker Die. I used Faber Castell Polychromo pencils to color the flowers and heart.

I started with a soft base of color first, then went back and added shading. Once the coloring was finished, I assembled the shaker element. I used the new Sugar Plum Confetti mix, as well as the Sugar Plum Jewel Mix for inside the window. I closed the window with a piece of pink card stock. 

I attached the card front to an A2 size card base, and added jewels from the new Party Jewels Mix to the middle of the yellow flowers.

That’s all I have for today. Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to check out the Pretty Pink Posh blog this week to see all of the sneak peeks.
