Cards

November Cloud9 Blog Hop

Hello!

Today I’m participating in the November blog hop over at Cloud9. This inspiration photo is so colorful and inspiring- I had such a hard time deciding which part I wanted to use on my card. I decided I would go for the wall hanging, after all, I can’t pass up a bright and happy Christmas tree!

And now, here is my take……

I don’t have any full-on Christmas stamps by WPlus9, so I had to be a little creative. After sorting through my stamp sets, I pulled out all of my possibilities and found that this little medallion from Mehndi Medallions was my best option. I must say, I’m loving this little medallion tree! Did you notice the little bow? That’s from Kisses & Cuddles {which is a “baby” set!}. Yay for creativity!

I was originally going to leave this card without a sentiment, but it just looked a little too bear. After sorting through my sets {again}, I decided to use this one from Poinsettia Patterns.  It’s sweet and simple and I thought it worked well on this card.

I know there are many other stops on the blog hop, so I’m going to wrap up this post. Be sure to head on over to the Cloud9 blog for the list of participants and all the details of the hop! Thanks for visiting me here at Pretty Pink Posh today!

Poinsettia Blossoms

Happy Friday!

Some of you may be coming from the DeNami blog……welcome! I’m thrilled to have you join me on my personal blog for inspiration using the Poinsettia Vines set. This set is so pretty and can be used for everyday cards, in addition to Christmas cards.

Today I went the route of showing how to use this set on a thinking of you card. This little blossom is so pretty and I love how elegant and delicate it looks with pastel colors.

As you can see, I pulled out my Sew Easy tools again. Click here to view my photo tutorial I did a few months back. I cannot seem to stop sewing on my cards! I think it adds such a unique and delicate detailing.

Be sure to stop by the DeNami blog, along with the sweet Wendy Elliot’s blog for more inspiration using this pretty set. There’s a wide gambit of themes and colors- I know you’ll be inspired by them.

So glad you stopped by today. Talk with you all soon!

Halloween Wishes

Hello and Happy Halloween!

I’m so sad I haven’t been able to do much for this holiday this year. I had all sorts of plans to do fun pumpkins and some baking, but alas, the accident has gotten the better of me. Hopefully I’ll start feeling better health-wise so I can do some fun things for Thanksgiving! I have all sorts of ideas running through this brain of mine.

I have one last Halloween card to share with you, and it’s one of my favorites from this year. I just love this ghost image and when you pair it with some washi tape, he is even cuter! Have I mentioned how much I ♥ washi tape? It is my obsession right now. So many fun patterns, so many different uses!

If you are a DeNami fan, be sure to head on over to the DeNami blog for news on savings that are coming in the month of November.  You can stock up on your washi tape, stamps and even get supplies for your Christmas cards or gifts!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. From me to you, I wish you and yours a safe Halloween with your family and friends.

I hope to see you tomorrow for my Thankful Thursday post!

Blossoms & Scallops

I’m stopping in with a quick little post- I just couldn’t pass up the current CAS-ual Fridays challenge! This challenge was to use kraft and as you may have noticed, I’ve been using it a lot in the recent months. I can’t seem to get enough and sneak it in whenever I can!

For my card, I used a recent set I received from Avery Elle called Blossoms & Blooms. This set is amazing and I can’t wait to show you what I have created with it for next week….. *hint hint*

I apologize for the weird scallops in the photo. The way I edit photos makes it so hard to get those scallops the way they are in real life- I promise, they are perfectly scalloped! :) 

I love how easy it is to layer these pretty blossoms. I used three five different images to get this flower- the stem, three blossoms and the flower tip. To top it off, I just couldn’t resist adding a little bit of bling- even CAS cards need a little bling!

I hope you have a great rest of your weekend. Thanks for stopping in!

Stomping By…..

Hello there!

Today I have another card to share with you featuring the current 10 Minute Craft Dash color palette. I remember back {not that long ago} when I was timid to pull out orange onto my cards. Now, I seem to sneak it on whenever I get a chance! Ah, the beauty of transitioning styles and going outside your comfort zone.

In case you haven’t seen the colors, here is what we are featuring in the challenge. If you’re new to the challenge, you can create any sort of crafty item, it just needs to be with these colors and take under 10 minutes to create. {Don’t worry, you can gather your supplies beforehand!} 

And now, here is take 2 of giving these colors a whirl. I couldn’t help but pull out the Elephant for this card. Yes, I realize I pulled him recently out on this card and this card, but he’s just so adorable!

Time it took to create: 7 minutes 3 seconds

There’s a great prize up for grabs and this challenge definitely gives you a little workout. I hope you’ll come join in on the fun and also spread the word. The more, the merrier! :)

You ladies are fab- thank you for all the sweet comments recently. They totally make my day and with my health not being great, they definitely bring smiles to my face.

See you all tomorrow for my Thankful Thursday post. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Thanks For Being You

Hello friends!

I just came from taking a look at the entries in the current 10 Minute Craft Dash. Oh my, I am loving all the beautiful entries and I’m so happy to read you like the colors featured! They are super fun ones! If you haven’t submitted yet, or have only created one item, you still have four days left to enter!

Today I’m sharing a card I created during the World Cardmaking Day {weekend} crafting session I had. Do you remember how I did a Featured Blogger post earlier this month? These stamps are from Dawn’s company, WPlus9 Design Studio! For this card, I used Very Vintage Greetings.

This color combination is unique for me, but I really like it! It is the essence of Autumn and goes perfectly with all the apple cider I’ve been drinking recently. :)

How have you all been doing? Since I haven’t been doing well health wise, I feel pretty disconnected and haven’t had a chance to hop around blogs as much as usual. If you’ve created something recently, or done a blog post in the last day or two, feel free to post links so I can check them out!

Big hugs to you all…..

Scallop Circle Flowers

Hi there, blog friends!

I thought I would pop in today with a card I made for one of my blog friends. This gal is an amazing card maker and I’ll admit, I always get intimidated when I send cards to my crafty friends. I tried to create something that fit her style and I think I was able to accomplish that.

You know how much I love my bright colors, but I have noticed that I’m starting to develop a love for pastel and muted colors as well. I suppose I’m really starting to enjoy the whole realm of colors….okay, maybe not neons, but maybe I’ll conquer those someday.

For my “flowers” I used the Scallop Circle, which I’ve done in the past. I wanted to change it up a little bit, so I punched out circles with patterned paper and then used a raised sticker to give it more dimension. I’ll be honest, this is my first time doing this, but I know it won’t be my last! It has such a great result and really makes the centers shine.

Do you have any fun plans this weekend? Last night I went to a concert, and I also have one tonight. Yay for fun weekends! I’m so thankful for friends who are willing to drive me so I can still enjoy these fun occasions.  :)

Talk with you all later…..

Halloween Blog Hop

Good morning! 

It’s time for the DeNami Halloween Blog Hop! I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while- there are just so many great DeNami Halloween stamps! In fact, I created so many cards, I had to limit what I put into this post and posted one on Friday {click here for the post}.

If you started the hop from the beginning, you should be coming from Deb’s blog. If you are just now starting, or got lost along the way, you can always head to the DeNami blog for the list of all the participants.
My first card showcases the new Halloween Kitty, along with the Boo {from the Halloween stamp set} and the Teeny Star Background. In addition, I used some WASHI TAPE. I’m in love with washi now….did you hear the news? DeNami is going to start carrying it soon! *happy dance*
scroll below for the complete supply list

Once again, I used my Sew Easy supplies {click here for my guide}. I think it looks great on cards, especially Halloween ones! There’s something about that black thread that brings the card together.

I know there’s quite a few more stops left, so I’ll wrap this up. Your next stop: Lisa Elton’s blog! Lisa is such a sweetheart and always has beautiful projects- I can’t wait to see what she made!

Have fun with the rest of the hop, I hope you were inspired by my card. Don’t forget to leave comments on each stop for your highest chance of snagging one of the $20 gift certificates! 

 
NOT LISTED: wrinkle ribbon, scallop notecard, washi tape, marcasite rhinestones

Halloween Candy Corn Basket

Hello! 
I have to say, I’m excited I’m finally getting around to posting this card. I created it a couple weeks ago, but it got lost in the massive amount of cards/ projects I’ve been creating recently. So many cards, so little time! 
Recently, I saw a lot of the Candy Corn being sold while I was processing orders and I suddenly felt the urge to use it again. After trying to think of a creative way to use this little stamp, I thought it would be perfect with the Medium Spring Basket. I am SO thrilled with how it turned out!

I couldn’t resist pulling out my Sew Easy supplies again {click here for my guide}. I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I am in love with sewing on my cards. It’s massively time consuming, but so therapeutic! I’ll have a card using the new roller I bought coming up soon….

If you want a chance to enter one of four $25 gift certificates, don’t forget about the Birthday Blog Giveaways I’m hosting. There’s only a little bit of time to enter….hurry and get your entries in!
Have you started making your Halloween cards yet? If so, what sorts of stamps did you use?  I’ll be back here on Sunday for the DeNami Halloween Blog Hop– it will be full of lots of inspiration! Hope to see you then!

Christmas in October?

Hi there!
This is going to be a short post….I’m fighting a sickness bug and shouldn’t even be on the computer. However, I just couldn’t let another day go by without bringing you another card using the current 10 Minute Craft Dash colors. Oh how I love this color combo!
My card today features all DeNami Design stamps/ products. I wanted to do something a little different and went the route of creating a Christmas card with these colors. I’m so happy with how it turned out!
 Time it took to create: 8 minutes 9 seconds
Don’t you just love the Berry Vine Sprig? I haven’t played with it too much {yet!}, but I just puffy heart it. It would be great for Thanksgiving cards, everyday cards…..it’s a good one to have!

I hope YOU come join us in the 10 Minute Craft Dash. There are still four days left to enter– hurry and get your entries in. Oh, did I mention there’s a great prize? *wink*

Thanks for visiting!
