National Craft Month Blog Hop
I am so excited to be blogging today and on top of that, I get to share a card I made recently!
Today’s card uses some of the brand new products in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. I was able to sneak in some crafty time recently and boy, did I have fun! With the busyness of running the day-to-day things in the shop, I don’t often get to craft, but when I do, I remember why I started doing what I do. Give me a few days, Netflix, coffee and stamp supplies and I’m one happy girl!
When I haven’t crafted in a while (ahem, months), it usually takes a few hours to get the creativity going, but the first card I make usually is my favorite from the bunch. This card was the first card I made in the most recent craft session and I just love how it turned out.
I started off by using the Scallop Circles as my focal point and paired it with the birdie trio from the Birdie Friends set. This set is my current go-to because you can use it for so many occasions and I really put a lot of thought into the elements and sentiments. I went the route of creating a mini scene and added the mini pink flowers from the Spring Flowers Mix.
To “frame” the mini scene, I paired the larger Scallop Square and made a shaker using my favorite Sparkling Clear Mix and added some of the Sparkling Clear Seed Beads. That little addition really adds to the shaker element, since those beads are really small and delicate.
For the last finishing touch, I added two bows from the Twine and Bows die set using some silver glitter cardstock. It’s amazing how just this little addition really made the card feel and look complete. Plus, die cutting it from the glitter cardstock made the card even more special.
Did you know that it’s National Craft Month? My friends at Right At Home are having a week long link-up so YOU can share what you have made recently and possibly win a prize! I’ve donated a $25 PPP gift certificate and I know there’s lots of other fun prizes, too. If you’re hopping along in their blog hop, your next stop is Catherine Pooler!
I hope you all enjoyed my card and the blog hop. Thanks for stopping by!

Your card is so cute, Paulina! It was sort of sad to read that you don’t often have time for fun creating yourself, I guess that is what it means to be successful (the business takes priority). It would seem that your loss is our gain since we reap the benefits of your toil on PPP. So from someone who loves what you create, thank you!
My order shipped and I cannot wait to get my hands on the new goodies – I plan to carve out some time once they arrive to play with everything. Thanks for continuing to share your creative genius with all of us.
