I wanted to announce the new team for this upcoming design term. I have been so blessed by amazing designers the last two years and as seasons change, sometimes it’s necessary to change things up in a team as well. We are saying a very fond farewell to Nichol and Yuki, but fear not, they’ll be joining us in guest positions occasionally!
Today I wanted to announce three brand new Pretty Pink Posh designers to the team. Each of these gals have used my products on their creations for quite a long time and I am thrilled to have them on the team! Please join me in welcoming Amy L.,Joyand Melody to the Pretty Pink Posh team!
In honor of this special day, and the fact that I love hosting giveaways, I’m offering up a $100 Pretty Pink Posh gift certificate! How can you win? Guess which designer made which card below. These cards can be found on their blog, so it won’t be too terribly hard to match them up.
From those who guess correctly, I’ll put them into a drawing and one lucky person will get a $100 shopping spree to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. Whether you want to catch up on previous releases, or want to get the new products that release next month, this will come in handy. Guesses must be submitted by September 4th to qualify for a chance to win.
I can’t wait to see how many of you can guess correctly from the guessing game! For the next few days, I’ll be posting some of these cards on the Pretty Pink Posh Facebookwith names attached, in case you need help.
I hope that you all give the new designers a warm welcome and leave them lots of love. Thanks for joining me today!
Hello friends! It’s Nina-Marie here with you today and I have a video tutorial to share with you showing how to create pearlized watercolor effects using Zig Clean Color markers and the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors watercolor palette. I’ll also be using a few Pretty Pink Posh products as well and I think you’re going to really enjoy today’s post… so let’s get started!
For those of you unfamiliar with this product, the Starry Colors watercolors are a pearl-tinted palette that has a collection of six different gold, water-based pigments. I wanted to use these with my Zig Clean Color markers to create a pearlized effect and the result is stunning! Pictures don’t really do the intense shimmer justice; in real life the shimmer is incredible!
The stamped images I used for this card are from Mama Elephant’s Freestyle Florals stamp set. The style of these images lend perfectly to the artistic style of watercoloring I did. I also used Pretty Pink Posh’s Storybook 2 die, Clear Droplets and Birdie Friends stamp set.
The video I created goes into all the details about the process of creating the pearlized watercolor effect, as well as how I put the entire card together, so I encourage you to check it out! If you enjoy, please give the video a big thumbs up and subscribe to our channel for more inspiration!
We also wanted to have a giveaway in this post for a 48 pack of the popular Zig Clean Color Markers, the Starry Colors watercolors and two water brushes. Enter the giveaway below…
Our new release is right around the corner, but before we really dive into sneak peeks and the excitement, I wanted to announce four brand new designers joining the Pretty Pink Posh team! All of these gals have used my products on their creations for some time, some have been guest designers, but each one of them are so uniquely talented and their style of crafting so inspiring. I have been long-time fans of each of them and I am so thrilled to have them all joining the team.
In honor of these four talented gals joining my team, I wanted to do a giveaway. So many of you have mentioned you have a long wish list, so I thought this post was the perfect time to host a giveaway.
One question I get often from readers, “How do companies choose designers?”. Good news! A while back I did a series and had some fabulous input from other companies in the industry like Mama Elephant, Winnie & Walter, Lawn Fawn and more! Want to read the five part series? CLICK HERE or click on the graphic below.
I hope that you all give the new designers a warm welcome and leave them lots of love. We’ll see you in a bit with a new tutorial, sharing some of the new products coming on May 1st!
It’s almost time for the March release and I am so excited to be releasing these products. We have two new stamp sets with coordinating dies, four die sets (including the next installments in our popular scallop series) and the gorgeous, pastel Easter Mix!
Which items have caught your eye this month? One lucky comment will win a $50 Pretty Pink Posh gift certificate, so tell me what caught your eye and how you plan to use the product(s)!

Hello and welcome to the last day of the 2nd birthday celebration!
Before I start with today’s post, I just have to say a truly heartfelt thank you. I have never received this many orders in such a short amount of time in the two years I’ve been in business. As many of you know, I’m a one woman business, so I’m working as quickly as I can to get all of your orders sent off. There’s a holiday on Monday, so that’ll allow me one extra day to get things packaged up for when the post office opens on Tuesday.
Today one the new PPP designers, Liz, has this darling card to share using several Pretty Pink Posh products. She used the dog from the Holiday Pals set and made him look oh-so-cute on this birthday shaker card. Just look at the little bow tie and hat!
For the focal piece, Liz used the popular Stitched Banner Duo 2 die set to create the shaker part of her card and filled it with the 4mm Sweetheart Mix. These colors work so well with the red card base and the pink panel on the front. To finish off the card, she used the Twine and Bows die set– a must have for all crafters! It gives the illusion of twine without the fuss and bulkiness.
You could create the exact same card with more neutral or boy themed colors. Imagine the new Share Kindness Mix of colors on this card- that would be adorable for this card design!

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the Pretty Pink Posh 2nd birthday celebration!
Today I wanted to share some photos from a creative session I did last year and it’s still one of my favorite posts to date. I’m a cardmaker at heart- I love being able to start and finish a project in one sitting- but every now and then, it’s fun to go outside the norm. These photos were from a session where we created birthday themed items and used sequins in non-traditional ways.
Balloons are always a must for a party and to make them extra special, we filled them with some confetti and sequins! It added a pop of color and really brought the whole theme of the party together.
This is just a small glimpse into the post that I created with these items. It was so much fun to create with the Pretty Pink Posh sequins on projects other than cards. Be sure to click the photo below so you see all the photos and products used.

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday. I am back with more inspiration using Pretty Pink Posh products. It is still cold here in California and I’m already wishing for spring. With that in mind, I created a project that you can design a watercolor flower card using Rainy Days Coordinating die set.
To begin, I die-cut some of the clouds (flowers) and hearts (flower center) from the using Rainy Days Coordinating die set. I used the Matte Multi Medium to adhered the flower petals then watercolored them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush set.
For the leaves for the flowers, I simply drew a leaves image on a watercolor paper then fussy cut each one and watercolored.
Here’s the finished look after the die-cuts have been watercolored. I also added a 6mm Espresso sequin to the center of the flowers for a little dimension and contrast.
Next, I assembled the flowers on the white cardstock then adhered with foam tape, the leaves were adhered with Matte Multi Medium.
Then, I added a strip of an old white and black patterned paper at the bottom of the card and stamped the sentiment “sorry you’re under the weather” from Rainy Days stamp set to finish off the card.
Here’s another look of the finished card.
Paulina wants to give you the opportunity to win some of her favorite watercolor markers and brushes. All you have to do is enter below leaving a comment with your favorite color combination to use on your crafts!
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope I have inspired you to look at your dies in a different way. Have a wonderful week and good luck on the giveaway!
