Pretty Pink Posh + Avery Elle Blog Hop Day 1

Pretty Pink Posh + Avery Elle Blog Hop Day 1

Hello, sweet friends!

I am so excited it’s finally time to share about this special collaboration blog hop that I’ve been keeping a secret. I’ve been a long-time fan of Avery Elle (pretty much since the beginning!) and I’ve had the great privilege to work with Jamie and her team on several occasions pre- PPP days. I thought it was time to bring our two companies together for a two day blog hop filled with inspiration from both teams featuring both companies!

It’s been quite a while since I got to craft and I was beyond giddy to pull out my Avery Elle sets and create. For today’s card, I used the adorable Woodland Wonders set and paired it with the Peek-A-Boo, Stitched Duo 2 and Scallop Frames die sets.

I adore these cute critters and thought having them peek out from the Peek-A-Boo die was a cute idea. I like how this looks, especially with the stitching element on the outside. To finish the “scene” I added those little grass elements and thought the little purple flowers from the Lilac Garden Flowers Mix looked cute with it.

It’s rare that I create a card without adding the Sparkling Clear Mix and for this card, I changed it up and had it be part of my background! I put down a bunch of Multi Medium Matte and then added the sequins to the background. Such a fun look and it really makes the card shine in person!

  32. Super fun blog hop-definitely inspired!! All very awesome projects but love Julia’s fish photo booth and Nina’s inlay shakers!! Can’t wait for tomorrow!!

  33. Im enjoying these blog hops (new to card making and hoping). I do have to say that one of the first things I was told as a helpful hint was “If you need sequins get from PPP”. This was advice from my mother and we all must listen to those that know best. Your stacking of the sequins is a great idea. Might b using this soon. I must say that all the cards were inspiring but I REALLY enjoyed the collage by Maska. The light colors and flow was just beautiful.
    Thank you for sharing your art and God Bless.

  34. Such a fun collaboration blog hop, Paulina. I saw lots of fun cards, but I really loved the clever way that Yainea used the black frame to complete her little Japanese scene.

  35. Super cute card.. Love how the critters are peeking out of that die cut.. And the whole really will make its recipient feel all party…

  36. Hi Paulina ~ So sad that you can’t find more time to craft since you’re wonderful at it. On the other hand, that would also mean your business is booming!!
