Favorite Vase of Flowers Shaker Card with Pretty Pink Posh

Hi, friends! Lauren Taylor here and I'm so excited to share a brand new handmade card with you today featuring the latest and greatest from Pretty Pink Posh! Get ready for a burst of spring with this delightful floral shaker card. I've been playing with so many gorgeous new products, including the innovative Vase Shaker Dies, the beautiful Spring Floral Dies, and the intricate Layered Blooming Vine Stencils. To add a touch of delicate detail, I also used the Scallops Pierced Plate. And of course, no card is complete without a heartfelt sentiment, which I pulled from the Friend Greetings Stamp Set and its Coordinating Dies.

To create this lovely card, I started by crafting a vibrant background using the Layered Blooming Vine Stencils and Distress Oxide inks in Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover for the leafy vines, blending from light to dark. For the second layer of the stencil, I brought in Spun Sugar and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides to create a colorful floral pattern. A touch of watercolor splatters added a bit of shimmer before I die-cut the panel with the Scallops Pierced Plate. Then came the fun part – die-cutting a variety of flowers and greenery from pastel cardstock using the Spring Floral and Vase Shaker Dies. To add depth and interest, I ink-blended Distress Oxides and splattered Distress Spritzes in coordinating colors onto each die-cut piece..

The shaker element truly brings this card to life! I die-cut the Vase Shaker from acetate and adhered the frame. After adding foam adhesive to create a well, I filled it with a charming mix of Enchanted Garden Mix and Enchanted Shaker Beads for delightful movement and sound. Because I felt the background was a bit busy with the floral arrangement, I die-cut a piece of vellum using the Stitched Torn Rectangle Dies and arranged all my die-cut flowers and greenery onto it, using the vase shape as a guide. This allowed me to create a soft layer over the background while still allowing the stenciled details to peek through.

Finally, I adhered the vellum with the floral arrangement to the stenciled background and then attached the shaker vase over it. I added the sweet "You're My Favorite" sentiment onto the vase and embellished the card with adorable little bees from the Bee Friends Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies, popped up on foam adhesive for dimension. For all the detailed steps on how I achieved the stenciling, ink blending, and card assembly, make sure to watch my video! You won't want to miss seeing how these beautiful Pretty Pink Posh products come together to create this cheerful spring card. Happy crafting!

You Rock Matchbook Fun Fold Card with Trinity Stamps

I’m so excited to be celebrating Trinity Stamps’ 7th birthday with a fun and funky handmade card—perfectly timed with Craft Roulette Episode #271! This week’s creative challenge had four unique parameters: a matchbook card, park-inspired colors, an element of a key, and both curved and straight elements. I was immediately inspired to pull out some Trinity favorites to craft this playful fun fold card. Using bold blues and greens with a splash of yellow for my color palette, I paired the You Rock Stamp Set with some retro vibes to create a cassette-themed matchbook card full of music and celebration.

To make the base, I used Blu Intenso Woodstock from Cardstock Warehouse and created a matchbook-style fold card base. I blended a vibrant background with Distress Oxides in Lucky Clover, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, and Prize Ribbon, then added splatters in Fossilized Amber, Black Widow Stellar Ink, and white bleedproof paint. Once dry, I attached the two background pieces to the card base and secured the fun fold in place with my Tiny Attacher stapler. Next I layered on five stamped and colored cassette tapes across the front. The bold You Rock die cut sentiment is stacked with black and holographic cardstocks for that extra wow! I finished the design by scattering sparkly music key notes—curves, lines, and all—for the perfect birthday jam.

Just Keep Swimming Watercolor Ocean Card with The Sassy Club

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren Taylor—welcome back to my craft room! I’m so excited to share a new card for Fandom Friday featuring The Sassy Club and inspired by one of my favorite animated ocean adventures. Even better, it’s also Oh So Inspired Collaboration Hop Day! This month, we’re drawing inspiration from Amalia of Cool Cakes and Crafts with Amalia, and I was especially drawn to a project of hers with a dreamy, watercolor-sprayed background and a clean focal layout. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to combine her style with my love for all things fandom. You can catch the full assembly process in my video linked below—trust me, it's worth the watch!

For this card, I used Fish Wishes from The Sassy Club and started by stamping, coloring, and fussy-cutting my under-the-sea characters and some bubbles. My background came to life with a mix of powdered watercolors in blues and purples—splattered, sprayed, and smudged to recreate that dreamy, aquatic look. Once dry, I added a touch of Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide to the edges for depth. Inspired by Amalia’s design, I layered it over glitter cardstock and rounded all the corners for a polished finish. My sea critters and bubbles follow a diagonal layout, and the sentiment “Just keep swimming” (wink wink) is stamped right on the background using pigment ink. I finished off the card with Frozen Flurry Pops of Color to give the bubbles shimmer and dimension—tapping them into perfect little domes.

Desert Camping with Cardstock Warehouse

Sometimes all you need is a starry sky and a cozy campsite! For this handmade card, I paired Lawn Fawn dies with richly textured and colorful cardstock from Cardstock Warehouse to create a layered desert night scene. The mix of die cutting and cardstock choices brought so much personality and dimension to this outdoor-inspired design.

To start, I die cut all my scene pieces using Lawn Fawn's Build-A-Campsite and Desert Canyon Backdrop Lawn Cuts, cutting each element from various shades of Cardstock Warehouse cardstock. I created a night sky by trimming a piece of dark blue cardstock and splattering it with white paint for stars. Once dry, I mounted the sky to an A2 card base, layered on the desert backdrop, and added rocks, cactus, and the campsite sign. I also cut a second desert backdrop from green cardstock and trimmed it into a frame to give the scene a polished border. The tent was assembled and adhered with foam tape for dimension, and I finished it all off with Snowflake Glitter and Silver Pops of Color on the stars and lantern for extra sparkle. Whether you're a camper or just love scene cards, this one is full of charm—thanks to high-quality cardstock that makes every detail pop!

Tea-riffic Mom Card with Pretty Pink Posh

Hi, friends! Lauren Taylor here and get ready to steep yourself in creativity because I've brewed up a delightful handmade card featuring the new and absolutely charming products from Pretty Pink Posh! If you're anything like me, you adore adding a touch of elegance to your creations, and the latest release from Pretty Pink Posh is overflowing with just that. Today, I'm sharing a card I crafted using the Tea Time Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies, the Layered Teacups Stencils, and the versatile Notched Squares Dies. Trust me, these products are a game-changer for anyone who loves crafting heartwarming cards.

To begin this tea-riffic creation, I first stamped several images from the Tea Time Stamp Set using a mix of black and fadeout ink, perfect for no-line coloring. Inspired by the beloved Mrs. Potts and Chip from Beauty and the Beast, I colored my teapot and teacup with alcohol markers, envisioning their iconic charm. To add a touch of luxury, I re-stamped their outlines with clear embossing ink and heat-embossed them with gorgeous gold powder. Once cooled, I die-cut all the images using the Tea Time Coordinating Dies. For the background, I took a piece of lavender cardstock and, using the first layer of the Layered Teacups Stencils, applied white pigment ink through it. To give it a subtle shimmer, I spritzed it with a glitter dust spray – the effect is simply magical!

Next came the intricate details using the second layer of the Layered Teacups Stencils and a beautiful gold glitter paste. This adds a wonderful texture and shine without the mess of loose glitter. While that dried, I die-cut a notched square from pastel pink cardstock and created a soft ombre effect using Distress Oxide inks in Milled Lavender, Sponge Sugar, and a touch of Dust Concord. To enhance the visual interest, I splattered the inked square with water, gold mica spray, and white acrylic paint, creating lovely textures and dimension.

Finally, the assembly! I adhered the stenciled background to an A2 card base, leaving a thin white border. Then, I arranged my die-cut teapot, teacup, and floral elements onto the notched square, using liquid adhesive. I even added a sweet Large Mom Hot Foil Plate sentiment, hot-foiled in a shimmering gold and cut with the Mom Shadow Die, and a die-cut Sentiment Strip that reads "You’re Tea-rrific." This card is a celebration of all things lovely, perfect for Mother's Day or just to your Mom you care. For a more in-depth look at the stenciling techniques and step-by-step directions, be sure to watch my video! You won't want to miss all the sparkly details and helpful tips. Happy crafting!

Rainbow Birthday Texts with Trinity Stamps

This retro-inspired card is full of bold color, playful shapes, and a shiny sentiment that makes you say, "Hi!" I was inspired by Craft Roulette Episode 270, which called for an A7 card, ‘80s colors, an exclamation, and arches. I also followed the June 2025 Show Us Your SheetLoad sketch for the layout. Want to see it come together? Be sure to watch my short video for the full assembly!

I started by cutting a 4" x 6" panel using the A7 Modern Embossed Layers Die Set and foiled it with the Time Warp Letterpress Die using rainbow foil for a seriously cool background. After mounting it to an A7 card base, I followed the SheetLoad sketch to layer in bold black cardstock accents. The star of the card is the adorable cell phone made with the Cell Phone Mini Slimline Die Set, complete with a stamped sentiment from Smart Phone Sayings and a die-cut “Hi!” from the Modern Embossed Alphabet Die Set. I added a pop of rainbow using the Rainbow Funshine Die Set (now retired, but the Rainbow Shaker Die Set is a great alternative!) and backed the phone with vellum for a soft contrast. A sprinkle of Rainbow Glitter Enamel Dots finished it off with sparkle—just the right mix of modern, nostalgic, and fun!

Heart Cherries Shaker Card with Scrapbook.com

Today's card was inspired by the Show Us Your SheetLoad sketch from May 2025, created by Call Me {Crafty} Al. I followed the layout (with my own adjustments) and had so much fun putting a sweet and fruity twist on it using all Scrapbook.com Exclusive products! With a little shimmer, a lot of hearts, and some adorable cherry accents, this card turned into a total treat.

To start, I grabbed papers from the Berry Sweet 6x8 Paper Pad and used the Heart Cherries Stencil on black polka dot cardstock. The first stencil layer was inked with Later Gator Simon Hurley ink, then I layered the cherries using Tickled Pink Lunar Paste for a dimensional pop. I followed the sketch layout to add pink gingham and green strips from the same paper pad across the background. For the focal point, I made a heart shaker using the Heart Doilies Decorative Dies, filled with a sparkly mix of Unicorn, Pot of Gold, and Confetti.

I die cut a large cherry with the Cherries Decorative Die, blending Later Gator on the stem and leaves and adding more Tickled Pink Lunar Paste on the cherries themselves. After stamping and fussy-cutting a sentiment from the My Funny Valentine stamp set, I finished the card with Cherry Pie Pearl Pops of Color to tie in more red. This card is a cherry-filled celebration of color, shine, and Scrapbook.com exclusives!
