Simple Coloring | Honey Bee Stamps

It’s just January but love cards can be sent at any time. I didn’t go for a traditional color palette of pinks and reds, deciding to change it up with blue. I really like it!

January New Release Blog Hop + Giveaway | Pretty Pink Posh

Welcome to Pretty Pink Posh‘s January 2024 Release Blog Hop! Can you believe we’re already almost a week into 2024? Be sure to check out the latest release from Pretty Pink Posh. Before we jump into my project for the hop, there’s a total of 4 $30 gift certificates up for grabs (one winner each day) for this 3 day blog hop! Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 1/11/2024. Winners will be announced on the Pretty Pink Posh blog.

Hi friends! There have been so many amazing projects already shared in the past two days of the blog hop and there’s so much inspiration today as well! Be sure to check it all out and today’s lineup! For today, I’m sharing this pretty Valentine’s or Love card that I put together using some of the new items from Pretty Pink Posh’s January release.

With a standalone die set, I tend to like to die cut from white cardstock and then color instead of using scraps. Frankly, I probably should use scraps to use them up but I just love the added look of dimension by coloring using markers. A trick I use is to use double sided tape prior to die cutting so everything I cut will basically be a sticker, making it really easy to put the pieces together quickly.

Once all my die pieces are colored up, I’ll go ahead and put them together on a piece of pink cardstock to match the vibe of the card. I really love the Valentine’s Words stencil and I inked it up with black ink on white cardstock, but I thought it was a little too plain so I inked up the corners just to add a little bit of pink to it.

Here is a quick video of how this came together

Be sure to stop by the previous days of inspiration for the Pretty Pink Posh blog!

Colored No Line Coloring | Pretty Pink Posh

Winter isn’t over yet but it’s still cold and there’s still snow so I’m still making non-holiday winter cards. Usually, I use a no line ink but I decided to use a light pink to do some no line coloring. I just pick a similar pink marker and try to blend it out to white. It’s also light enough for my blues to go right over it.

Mix of Sentiments | Honey Bee Stamps

I love when you can incorporate large stamp sets to mix with sentiment stamps replacing the words. That’s what I did here and it was the perfect little space to ground the images.

Winter Cards | Honey Bee Stamps

Winter cards get overlooked because of all the Christmas cards but they are some of my favorite. I love winter nighttime scenes and the peacefulness of it. This is a super simple card that needs nothing more but a bit of ink blending and stamping.

Fade to White Coloring | Pretty Pink Posh

I love coloring but sometimes, there’s no time, especially with holiday cards — What if you still want some color? I use a super easy technique for coloring here and it just involves some light colored copics and the colorless blender. I love the effect of it. What do you think?

Hot Foil Ink Blending | Trinity Stamps

I love to hot foil but even more so for holiday cards. The cool part of hot foiling that you can ink blend right over it and it will resist the ink so I went ahead to ink blend some ombre green colors for these trees.

Shaker Party Favors – Trinity Stamps

Today, I’ve created something a little different – shakers! For the past 12 days, Trinity Stamps has been sharing different projects for their 12 days of Christmas and today is a party favor! I thought this would be super fun, especially for kids because I love to shake, shake, shake! You can even add a photo or details for your Christmas party on the background of the shaker — it’s a simple but fun parting gift!

Simple Stamping | Honey Bee Stamps

There are so many ideas for holiday cards but this one is one that is cute and you can cater it to the person you’re sending it to by just swapping out the colors. Blue is one of my go to colors during the winter time and that’s what I used here.
