I selected frames with matting included. You’ll see this has space for three photos.
I cut two panels of patterned paper, and two from white cardstock. The white panels were dry embossed with a floral pattern. These were added to the two mats with tape runner adhesive.
The fun began here with the placement of the images! I added the two black and white photos then the Sweet Pea Sequins. This will be a little gift to my granddaughter for her nursery!
We hope that today’s post and project inspired you to think outside of cards and stretch your stamps, dies and embellishments; the possibilities are endless!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!
To begin, I first stamped my clear cellophane bags with white StazOn ink using the cute images from Birdie Friends stamp set. Just make sure to clean your stamps with Hero Arts Ultra Clean as this will be sure to remove the white ink on your stamps.
Next, I die-cut white cardstock using the Scallop Circles dies set then distress the sides with Tumbled Glass distress ink, but instead of using the scallop portion, I used the negatives. I also used the negative of the large scallop and use the small circle scallop to create a cream border for my card tag (see the picture below).
To create a card tag I simply die-cut another negative circle and scored the top portion of the circle and adhered with glue. The distress on top and the scored portion on the bottom.
To create my grass for the tag I distressed the white cardstock and used the large scallop die to die-cut and get the negative. Then die-cut negative on the green portion using the tiny scallop border from Stitched Borders 4 dies.
The look of the tag card.
For the goodie bag, I die-cut an antique gold cardstock using the tiny scallop border from the Stitched Borders 4 dies and adhered at the bottom of the cellophane for added touch on the bags.
On the tag card, I stamped the sentiment “Sending Hugs” from the Birdie Friends stamp set using gold embossing powder. The cute birdie images are from the same stamp set they were watercolored using ZiG Clean Color Real Brush 60 and die-cut with their coordinating dies.
Hello everyone, Joni here with another tutorial. Today I’ll be showing you how to create a DIY basket for your Easter goodies.
To begin, I cut my cream cardstock to measure 6×6 inches and scored each side by 1 ½ inches.
Next, I cut all four sides. Just as the green lines I drew on this cardstock below.
Next, fold the sides of the cardstock that was cut to make it into a box for a basket.
To add decorations on the basket I die-cut the picket fence from Pretty Pink Posh Picket Fence die. This will be added at the bottom of the box for added interest.
I also added this fuchsia tissue paper to put inside the basket after cutting into strips. This would be so nice too if you have a green tissue paper (to look like a grass).
Hello Everyone, Joni here for a treat bag tutorial for Valentine’s Day (but you could adapt it for other occasions). You can simply change the color of the patterned paper and sentiments to make it work to the theme of your choice.
For this project I cut a piece of cardstock like the image below 4 ½ by 3 inches.
Next, I cut the middle side of the piece of cardstock like the image below, then fold to make a box.
Next, I put a double sided tape on both sides of the box and cut the tag using the Stitched Duo 1 dies.
For assembling, I adhered both of the tags on both sides of the box. This box can hold 3 Ghirardelli chocolate square.
To decorate my box, I kept it simple. I die-cut a black cardstock using the oval tag from Stitched Tags die and I also used the bow die-cut from Twine and Bows dies. I also used the stamp and dies from Holiday Pals for the tag.
Here’s the look of the finished goodie tag side view.
Here’s the front view.
I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial for your next goodie project. Thank you so much for stopping by and don’t forget to tag #prettypinkposh on Instagram with your projects featuring our stamps, dies and sequins!
Hello! I’m delighted to be sharing my first feature post with all of you! Each month I’ll have a project showcasing sequins, confetti or seed beads in a unique way on something other than a card. With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching my mind was on hearts! I’ve created a small garland perfect for a mantle, shelf or door.
To begin, die cut three felt hearts. (This shape can easily be switched out for other holidays or everyday use). One of the hearts will become a shaker so you will need to cut an opening in that shape.
Next you’ll need three paper backing heart shapes. One of these will back your shaker. I chose a pretty floral paper for this purpose. The other two will not be seen. Plain cardstock, poster board or chipboard will work just fine.
Adhere this paper backing to the reverse side of each cream felt heart for added stability.
The shaker will be filled with Confetti so the form for it doesn’t need to be very thick. I used two cardstock spacers. If using Sequins or Seed Beads, you’ll need to use foam tape or fun foam. Remember to die cut one acetate heart as well for your shaker window..
Die cut and stamp several items (mini tags, flowers,leafy sprigs, bows) to decorate the other two felt hearts.
Glue clusters of die cut items onto each of the plain hearts. Add confetti as accents. Fill your shaker withIridescent Mini Heart Confetti(coming soon!) and Red Heart Confetti.
The possibilities for this little garland are endless! I made mine to match my great grandmothers plates. Aren’t they pretty!!

We hope that you enjoyed the Valentine theme week!
Welcome to a whole week of Valentine inspiration here at Pretty Pink Posh. Every day this week we will have some tutorials and inspiration that you can use for the upcoming festivities.
To begin, die-cut the oval scallop from Pretty Pink Posh Decorative Tag 1 dies and while it’s still with the die I then distressed it with PTI Summer Sunrise ink pad to give the color for the background. Once its distressed I then taped the back of the scallop border with the inside of the scallop. This will help me make a small oval shaker that I can add to a tag or a card.
For this project I die-cut lots of oval scallop border and I usually stack 3 (glued) and adhered on the top of the oval scallop. Because the border is thin, it’s easier this way for me to hold those awesome new Mini Hearts Confetti coming your way. But if you like to cut a thin foam tape, this will work too.
Next, I glued another scallop border on top of the clear acrylic and filled the scallop shaker with this yummy new Mini Hearts Confetti along with other Pretty Pink Posh sequins. The Mini Hearts Confetti will be available this coming February 1st.
After filling the scallop shaker, I then glued the back of the acrylic following the lines on the scallop border and adhered on the top of the scallop shaker. I trimmed the excess acrylic from the scallop shaker with scissors.
For this tag I used the Stitched Duo 3 dies and distressed. You can use other PPP tag dies for different looks too. The little cute chick is from the free stamp set Birdie Notes that was released from the recent PPP January Birthday Celebration, which I watercolored using the 60 Zig Clean Color Real Brush.
I stamped the sentiment on a strip of Kraft cardstock from the Birdie Notes with white embossing powder and heat set. I cut the sentiment into rectangle added a foam tape and adhered on top of the strip of Kraft cardstock that I snipped on both ends with scissors.
To create the note backing for the tag, I die-cut another white cardstock using the tag from Stitched Duo 3 dies and scored the top of the tag. After, I added glue on top and adhered on the back of the decorative tag.
Here’s to show you when the backing is ready for your written notes.
They are so fun to make and so cute. For the first tag on your left I used the new Gold Mini Confetti Heart with 6mm Fairytale Fuchsia Sequins and 4mm Sparkling Clear. On the second tag I used the new Silver Mini Confetti Heart and Share Kindness Sequin Mix. For the third tag I used the new Iridescent Mini Heart Confetti and Sparkling Clear sequins.
Here they are in close-up using the new Mini Confetti Hearts.
Here’s a snapshot of the little party scene I created. You can use the same concept and create darling cupcake or treat toppers. I hope you guys enjoyed and got inspired.

Remember to check back here tomorrow for more Valentine inspiration. Have an AWESOME week!
I am so very excited to share today’s post with you. It’s a project that has been in the works for a little while and thanks to my amazing assistant, it finally is making it’s appearance here on the blog.
For those who visit my blog often, you know I’m a card maker. I love the fact that cards can be made in one session and each one can be unique and as detailed, or simple, as your creativity allows. However, every now and then, it’s fun to stretch yourself and create outside of a card.
One of the things I really wanted to showcase in this post was the versatility of sequins and confetti. Not only do they look super cute on cards, but they also are perfect for parties! Whether you decorate your table with them, add them to the inside of your clear balloons, or use them on cupcake toppers, they will make every aspect of your party shine. Plus, with the wide array of colors I carry in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop, you can match them to whichever color palette you choose!
TIP: since this was the first time adding them to balloons, we learned that star confetti isn’t the best choice (due to the points). The circle or heart confetti with a mixture of sequins would be the ideal option.
In the past, I’ve created cupcake toppers with stamps (see HERE, HERE and HERE) . Today, I set aside the stamps and brought out some die cuts, sequins and confetti for these cupcake toppers. Since we were going for a spring party, I used a butterfly die, but you can easily change it to match whichever theme you are throwing for your party.
I’m totally in love with the cupcake topper on the big cupcake. The little tissue tassels, plus the threading of sequins and confetti had me squealing with delight when it was finished. Oh and that aqua? We just wrapped washi tape around the wooden skewer!
Since we had this fun set-up, I thought I’d snap a few product photos, too. I just love the way they turned out. My favorite part is the martini glasses filled with sequins!
We had so much fun creating this post. I hope you were inspired to add sequins and confetti to projects outside of paper crafts. All sequins and confetti found in this post can be found in my shop- Pretty Pink Posh.
Did you enjoy today’s post? Let me know if you want to see more party ideas in the future; we have lots of fun ideas if you’d like to see more!
Despite the fact that I’m totally behind on everything Christmas, I really wanted to do something special for a few people that I see on a regular basis. You know, the people at the post office, UPS and USPS delivery drivers, my baristas- the ones that sometimes get overlooked during the holidays, but that make our lives easier and more pleasant.
I was out and about and found a few items that I thought would be great little gifts for them. Well, leave it to this crafty girl to package it up, snap some photos and a video and create some stamped (but simple) gift tags. Nothing fussy about these, but I think it’ll bring a little Christmas cheer to each person.
1) cranberry cereal bars from Trader Joes (granola bars would be good, too!) 2) chocolate bark from Target 3) Lindt Lindor mini chocolates 4) hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works 5) Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark squares
Lately I haven’t been posting many videos, but I really am trying to change that when the weather permits. It was sunny yesterday, so I decided to take advantage of that and film a quick video showing you this quick and easy gift idea, along with the gift tags that I whipped up using the Snow Days and Milo’s ABCs sets from Lawn Fawn.
Let me know if you were inspired by this video and post- your input really does help with the content I post. I want to continue posting things you enjoy and would love to hear what you would like to see more of in 2015!
I know I’m cutting it close to Halloween with this post….however, it’s better than waiting until next year, right? I actually have attempted taking photos of this project three times, but with the gloomy weather here in Seattle, I just wasn’t having any luck. Thankfully, three times was the charm for this project!
If you watched my latest haul video, you’ll recognize these kraft pillow boxes. Lately I have been admiring pretty packaging and with the holidays coming up, I’ll definitely be highlighting some of my own packaging ideas here on the blog. I love the size of this particular pillow box- they’re big enough to fit cookies or candies, or you can put in travel size toiletries! Hello stocking stuffers!
If you follow me on my various social media sites (which I hope you do!), I mentioned briefly that I’ll be making some changes on the site. There are some ideas that I’ve been wanting to incorporate on my site to make it a little more user friendly, but it was a little outside of my scope of knowledge and my current server has been a nightmare. I’m hoping that some of these changes will slowly start rolling out within a week or two and there shouldn’t be too much downtime. Since blogging isn’t my full-time job and funding is minimal, I’m having to do things in stages. In the end, I hope to have this site be easy to maneuver, and hopefully a place that will continue to inspire you and your loved ones.
I’m curious, are there any changes you hope I’ll make to the site? Do you have requests for future tutorials or projects? I have all sorts of ideas, but I also want to make sure if there are certain aspects of my site you enjoy, I keep them! *wink*
It’s time for the monthly DeNami Blog Hop and this month the theme is Summer Splash. If you started from the beginning, you should be coming from Dana Seymour’s blog {this girl has the greatest tropical cards EVER}!
The name of this hop immediately prompted thoughts of drinks and I thought I’d go a little different route and create something other than a card. After playing with my options, I decided on summer straw toppers. They’re super quick and easy to whip up and they could make any BBQ or party a little more festive.
Be sure to leave comments on each blog stop. We’re giving away gift certificates to two random comments and with the new release here, you’ll definitely have fun shopping!
If you follow my blog, you know I’m a fan of these adorable striped paper straws by Little Free Radical. They could make any special occasion more festive and who doesn’t love sipping yummy drinks out of pretty straws? I pulled out my orange ones for this hop, but there are so many other colors in her store…. you really could have them match whichever color palette you’d like.
In case you’re wondering which stamps I featured today, I used the Medium Solid Hibiscus and the Large Solid Bamboo Leaf. These solid images worked so perfectly with my new neon inks {you’ll see which ones in my haul video tomorrow}.
It’s time to head on over to the next stop of the hop: Ardyth’s blog! This gal has such creative ideas and the way she showcases DeNami stamps is astounding. I can’t wait to see what she created for this hop.
I hope you’ll join me tomorrow for a small haul video featuring some goodies I’ve been eying for a while. I still haven’t decided what else to include in the post, so you’ll have to stop by and check it out! *wink*
Countdown to Christmas: 11 days!
