Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop

grandopening_bloghop2

Hello and welcome to the grand opening of the Pretty Pink Posh Shop!

I am thrilled that the day has finally arrived….my shop is officially open! Today I am hosting a blog hop in celebration of the shop and I have 10 amazingly talented special guests joining along as well. Each of these gals have such a unique crafting style- something I really want to showcase for this hop. The products in my shop are sparkly and can add a little glitz and glam to any of your crafting projects. Whether you are creating Christmas cards or tags, to shopping for stocking stuffers, to getting items to add to your December Daily pages, my products fit the bill perfectly.

I honestly could have filled up a huge post will all sorts of projects, but I decided to cut back and just share two cards today. After all, there are 10 other stops and I KNOW they are packed with inspiration. I haven’t seen any of the posts yet, so you can be sure I’ll be hopping along with the rest of you gals!

My first card is one that makes my heart skip a beat. I am absolutely in LOVE with all of the bells in my shop and the small ones are so perfect for cards. I’m partial to gold at the moment, so I decided to feature them first. How darling is that wreath with three little bells at the top? *swoon*

It’s super easy to add these bells to your cards and projects. I used some embroidery floss to thread them through and then wrapped them around my twine bow. If you wanted to hold them in place, you could also add a little glue dot or a dab of lacquer, to ensure they stay down.

My next card features five different sequin colors from the shop: Espresso, Marigold, Gold, Pink Peonies and Pumpkin. I wanted the sequins to act as “ornaments” and kept the rest of the card fairly simple. It’s so fun to mix and match and see which sequin colors work together. Granted, my studio look like a sequin tornado hit it, but there couldn’t be a prettier “mess”, in my opinion.

If you’re curious as to what kind of adhesive you can use with sequins, I personally use Crystal Lacquer. It comes with a fine tip that makes adding a dab of adhesive really easy.

Other options: Glossy Accents, Designer Dries Clear Adhesive, or Medium Matte.

I wanted to properly kick-off the grand opening of the shop and I’m so grateful to have 10 of my crafty friends helping with this task. Hop on over to each of these girls blogs, leave comments and you could win one of two prize packs with items from the Pretty Pink Posh shop!

Now it wouldn’t be a complete celebration without some prizes, so I’ve put together a couple prize packs for two lucky winners. You’ll get to try out an array of the Pretty Pink Posh products and all you need to do is leave comments along the blog hop. All comments between now and December 3rd will be entered and I’ll announce the winners on December 5th.

If you like the Pretty Pink Posh Facebook page, you can leave one additional comment on this post and I’ll enter you again in the giveaway!

To make this an extra special opening, I’m also doing a grand opening special until December 5, 2013. All orders within the United States over $35 will receive free shipping. For my wonderful international readers, I wanted to do something for you as well, so I’ll be refunding 1/2 of your shipping costs for orders over $35. It’s a win-win-win! grandopening_special

I’ve stocked up the shop and I’ll be getting some more inventory in on Tuesday. I’m going to do my best to keep up with all my inventory, but please remember that I am a super small start-up business, so it may take a little bit of time to grasp the amount of inventory I’ll need in the future. I know that I personally dislike when places are out of stock constantly, so I plan on doing everything I can to make sure my shop stays stocked.

It’s been so exciting to see my childhood dream of owning my own business come to life. Granted, it’s very small and I have no idea how the shop will do, but I am so very grateful for the support I have received thus far and hopefully, I can bring you all sorts of exciting, new products in the future!

Happy hopping and shopping! I can’t wait to start filling your orders! :)

Thanks for the tip on how to attach bells to cards…..and also your recommendations on adhesives for sequins. I have Crystal Lacquer on my to-get list now to give it a try.
