The Scallop Box Card Dies is perfect way to really show off a flower filled garden card. 

Started off by stamping and copic coloring the ladybugs and die-cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. Next, I attached a trail to the back of the larger flying ladybug. 

To decorate the Scalloped Box card, I went through my stash and found the perfect pattern paper for the ladybugs. I added the pattern paper to the front, sides and the back but not the inside of the scallop box card.

Having the yellow in the combination, I decided to bring back the Bee Friends stamp set. Stamping out two of the smaller bees and adhering 1/4inch acetate strips to the back of the bees and two of the ladybugs. 

With the Spring Mug Additions Dies and the Stitched Spring Flower Dies I die-cut out the flowers in pink, reds, and yellow for my garden. Then with the Grass Border Die I die-cut out two grass strips. Then with the Insert dies from the Scallop Box set, I off set the cutting plate to die-cut the grass again but not cut off the blades. 

I assembled my box card and attached the flowers and stems to the back of the grass. Then in between or above the flowers I attached the acetate ladybugs and bees. I used the Black Onyx Pearls for the center of the yellow flowers.

With the Sentiment Strips: Easter set,  I stamped out the “Springtime Greetings” and trimmed it out to fit onto the scallop pattern paper. Then attached a crawling ladybug to the front of the box. 

I had to go outside to photograph my adorable Scalloped Box Card because it was such a beautiful sunny day. 

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful crafty day!

I began by stamping the bees and trails in the Bee Friends Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Copic-friendly black ink. I colored them with Copic markers, then used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out. I added a bit of shine to the eyes with a black glaze pen and used a white gel pen to add in some highlights.

Next, I die-cut the envelopes from yellow cardstock and the square from black and white gingham using dies from the Sweet Note Die Set. The envelope dies were folded along the score lines and the folds were reinforced with a bone folder. I adhered each side together with liquid glue, being sure to use a very thin bead of glue.

I trimmed white cardstock squares to fit just inside the stitched edge of the gingham panel and added a bit of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to the centers of the panel with a blending brush, then adhered them to the gingham panel. 

The sentiments, from the Bee Friends and Lucky to Know You Stamp Sets, were white heat embossed onto red cardstock and cut out with the Bee Friends and Lucky to Know You Coordinating Dies. The larger bees and trails were adhered with liquid glue. I added the small bees to the front of the envelopes.

There are two sizes of solid hearts in the Bee Friends Stamp Set. I decided to use these as embellishments so they wouldn’t be too bulky to fit into the envelopes. The smaller heart was stamped onto white cardstock several times with red dye ink and cut out with the Coordinating Die. They were adhered to the note cards and envelopes with liquid glue. I added Glossy Accents to add a bit of shine to all of the hearts and that finished off these sweet note cards and envelopes.

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

Party Hats Dies
Streamer Dies
Pinking Rectangles Dies
Banner Greetings 1 Dies
Sentiment Strips Birthday stamp set

I started by choosing a color palette and cardstock for my design. I ended up with pink, blue, and apricot, with a touch of yellow and green. I decided to use the apricot colors for the background and layered the largest Pinking Rectangle onto an A2 cardstock panel.

Next, I die-cut the party hats and played with different color combinations until I was happy with the results. The possibilities are endless with these Party Hats, and with this design, you could easily mass-produce these cards to fill your birthday card stash. 

With the Party Hats assembled, I die-cut the Streamers from the same colors and arranged everything onto the layered background panel. I used some of the stars from die-cutting the smaller hat several times as embellishments for an even more festive look. The final steps were to add a sentiment that I heat-embossed with white embossing powder on a wavy banner and then attach everything to a side-fold card base.

I hope I’ve inspired you to create something with your favorite crafty essentials! See you again soon!

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today. Happy Stencil Theme Week! There are so many fun stencils over at the Pretty Pink Posh Shop.

Today I am excited to showcase the Layered Presents Stencils. This versatile stencil set can be used for so many different occasions. I had so much fun playing with it that I created two birthday cards to share with you today. So let’s get started. 

For my first card, I used all three layers of the Layered Presents Stencils to ink blend a full background on a piece of white cardstock. I started with the gift box stencil and Spun Sugar and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide inks. Next I used the stencil to add details to the wrapping paper with Kitsch Flamingo and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks. Finally, I used the last stencil to add the bows with Picked Raspberry and Wild Honey Distress Oxide inks. I set the panel aside to dry as I worked on the rest of the card. 

I diecut a bear, party hat and present using the Bear Holder Dies, Birthday Mug Additions Dies and Build a Gift Dies out of white, pink, yellow and black cardstock. The bear was colored with Copic markers. I assembled the diecuts and highlighted with a white gel pen. 

COPIC COLORS: Bear: E50/51/53/33/99/35, R00/20, R20

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Happy Birthday” from the Upright Greetings: Birthday stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock. I used the Sentiment Strip Dies to diecut the sentiment and well as a scallop strip out of yellow cardstock. I layered and adhered the two strips. 

I used the Fancy Cake Dies to diecut a stitched frame out of pink cardstock. Foam tape was used to adhere the bear, frame and sentiment strip to the panel. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”). I finished the card with a few Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

For my second card, I wanted to create a masculine birthday card. I decided to keep the design clean and simple with only two rows of presents. I love that you can easily mask off and use these stencils to ink only a portion of the background. This time I used some Post-It sticky notes to mask off part of the Layered Presents Stencils and work on one row at a time to keep the colors pure. I ink blended the layers in the same manner as I did in the first card. The gift box stencil with a very soft layer of Mowed Lawn and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. The pattern stencil with the same two colored inks but with a heavier hand when ink bleeding. And for the bow stencil, I used Pine Needles and Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide inks. 

For the sentiments, I used the Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set to stamp several of the sentiments along the top and bottom borders of the presents with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

I used the same dies as with the first card to diecut and color in the bear and present. I assembled them and adhered them onto the panel with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my cards and are inspired to try out some of these fun layered stencils. Be sure to head on over to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop to check out all of the different options available in the Stencil Section.
