New Feature: Something Old, Something New!

Good morning! Heather here this morning, and I’m excited to be starting off the new year with a new tutorial theme – Something Old, Something New! I thought it would be fun to mix together both some brand new products, and some older ones – to show how AMAZINGLY well Pretty Pink Posh products work together! Today, I’ve used the brand new Love Shaker Die and Love Sentiments Stamp Set, with with the adorable Happy Snowman and Happy Owl stamps and dies! I also used the brand new Red Mini Heart Confetti.

I had the idea of making a snowman couple for a Valentine’s Card – it wasn’t until I got to the end of the card that I thought of adding the hat and bow from Happy Owl stamp set – that’s why they aren’t included in the tutorial photos!

First up, I stamped the snowpeople and their scarfs, using red ink to fill in the scarf with the polka dot pattern. I did a bit of soft coloring with Copics as well.

Next up, I heat embossed my sentiment in white on a strip of black cardstock, and then stamped one of the hearts from Love Sentiments Stamp Set, using the solid image to stamp in the same red as the scarfs for continuity. Since this stamp set doesn’t have dies, I just fussy cut out that little heart.

Next, I built the shaker element. I die cut the Love Shaker Die from turquoise pattern paper, then trimmed a piece of acetate just smaller than the heart. I backed it with acetate, and then used some thin foam strips (that were just added to the PPP Shop!) around the edges.

I filled it with the new Red Mini Heart Confetti, and added another piece of acetate to the back to make a complete shaker element.

Then it was simply a matter of assembling the card! I adhered the shaker element to the top, and the black sentiment strip with foam adhesive at the bottom, then added the snowpeople in between.

At this point, I realized that hat and bow from Happy Owl would be a perfect fit and addition, so I added those, then added the heart in the center of them, with some twine to make it look like they were holding a banner with a heart between them!

This card also uses one of my favorite color schemes – something about turquoise and red is so fun together!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today- we hope you enjoyed this new feature! Have a wonderful day!
