Monster Party {Video}

Pretty Pink Posh I Monster PartyHello and Happy Monday!

Wow, you all have absolutely blown me away with your enthusiasm about my new dies. I’m thrilled to say that the first two batches of the Stitched Duo 1 dies sold out within 24 hours, but there’s still some more of the Stitched Borders 1 dies! For those who are wanting to order the tag/ window pane dies, they’ll be available again starting on Thursday and I’ll ship them out as soon as they arrive next week.

Today I’m honored to be a part of a video hop that Laura Sterckx has put together in honor of reaching 1000 subscribers on her YouTube channel. Head on over to her blog post HERE for all of the info and you can get all of the video links there. Pretty Pink Posh I Monster Party

When I think of Laura, I think of happy and cheery cards, so I wanted to make one that fit into those categories. I pulled out the darling Happy Monster Party stamp from DeNami Design, along with the Make A Wish and well, you can watch all of it in the video below!

Oh yes, and let’s not forget there are prizes involved, too! bloghop3I hope you have a fabulous start to your week. Be sure to head on over to Laura’s blog for all the info on the video hop- it’s packed full of amazing videos!

Hello Butterfly + VIDEO

It’s a happy day here at Pretty Pink Posh….not only am I planning some upcoming projects, but it’s also SUNNY and beautiful here in Seattle. There’s just something about the sunny weather that makes everything happier and makes me feel more productive. I really hope this weather sticks around for several weeks.

Today I have a sweet little spring card to share, along with a start to finish card video. After reading the responses on a recent video, I’m determined to bring more videos to the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel. I hope y’all are up for this change. If you have requests for specific videos, leave a comment in this post!

I love butterfly stamps (and dies) and with spring here, you can be sure I’ll be bringing lots of them to the blog. One of my favorite butterfly stamps is from the Fancy Flutters set by DeNami. Seriously, isn’t this image adorable?!

Pretty Pink Posh I Hello Butterfly

We all know I love my Femme Frames dies and recently I’ve become OBSESSED with making scalloped card bases. It adds a touch more interest to cards and really dresses them up.

Pretty Pink Posh I Hello Butterfly

If you’re curious on how to make this card from start-to-finish, enjoy this video. I tried to make it as short as possible (so I cut out the coloring part). If you would like to see my coloring in future videos, let me know and I won’t cut it out.

Butterfly Notecard Trio {VIDEO}

Hello, hello!

Today I’m going back in the archives and bringing you something I created in the past, but never shared here on the blog. I actually had originally created it for a guest post over at My Paper Pinwheel (hi Thuy!) in July, but didn’t get around to sharing it with all of you.

This year, I’ve been making a conscious effort to send more notes out to family and friends. With that being said, I’ve needed to stock up on cute and simple notecards- you  know, the ones without a lot of bulkiness to them. I was so thrilled when I came up with this quick and easy layout that is a cinch to mass produce.

mypaperpinwheel1

In this day and age, with technology so prevalant, it’s rare to get a handwritten card in the mail. It’s sad, but true. I try my best to send out as many as I can, since I know it can make even the crummiest days better. Whether you create an elaborate work of art, or just a simple stamped notecard, it’s the thought and words inside that mean the most.

Curious to see just how easy this card is to make? I did a coordinating video that shows step-by-step how to create this card.

I hope that you were inspired by my notecard trio and video. If you give this design a try with some different stamps, I would love to see it. Feel free to leave me a link with your blog link here, or you can tweet me @prettypinkposh or even leave a picture on the Pretty Pink Posh Facebook page!

Bling Birthday Jar {VIDEO}

Hello, sweet blog friends!

Today I have the last 10 Minute Craft Dash Birthday Bash video to share with you. If you missed any of the ones I posted earlier this week, you can view them all on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel, along with the videos I’ve done in the past. I have some ideas for more videos in the future, but if you have requests, feel free to leave it in a comment below!

I adore bling and I brought that together with my love of the Lawn Fawn set, Summertime Charm and the matching dies. Add in a bit of twine and patterned paper and we have a great mixture of my craft loves on one card.

Spaceship Chickie {VIDEO}

Oh my, a post on a Sunday? You know it’s a special occasion when that happens!

For today’s 10 Minute Craft Dash Birthday Bash creation, I’m sharing a boy card {something that is not my forte}. I pulled out a few DeNami stamps- the Spaceship, Space Chickie and Outer Space set– and went to town. There was one more element I wanted to add to this card, but it didn’t make it on there in time. What is it? You’ll have to watch the video below to see for yourself! *wink*

Being a girly girl crafter, I have all sorts of pinks, reds and purple craft supplies. Thankfully, this last year, I’ve been consciously making an effort to fill in the gaps of my “rainbow” of supplies. One of my favorite ways to incorporate colors outside my comfort zone? RIBBON! Chevron twill ribbon to be exact. I get mine from Little Free Radical and honestly, I’m obsessed with this stuff and have almost all of the colors available. If you haven’t tried it, it makes the most amazing bows ever!

You all have been so sweet and encouraging with your comments this week, especially on the videos! I have loved hearing from some of you that watching me create has inspired many of you to give my challenge a try and I won’t lie, seeing many new subscribers has been lovely, too!

I will be back tomorrow with a sweet treat…literally. It’s not often that I get in the kitchen, but I couldn’t have this birthday bash happen without a treat. Since I’m far from a pro in the kitchen, this is a super easy idea and oddly enough, it can be created within 10 minutes, too! Quick and simple and I’ve heard, it’s quite yummy…hope to see you tomorrow!

On Your Special Day {VIDEO}

Are you ready for some more 10 Minute Craft Dash birthday bash inspiration? Since people of all ages have birthdays, I figured I would bring all sorts of themes/ colors for this special week.

Since I brought some cutesy cards already, I thought I would take a little break and bring a more elegant/ feminine card. A while back I picked up the WPlus9 Fresh Cut Florals set and thought it would be the perfect set to showcase today. I received a few interactions asking when I would use this set and today’s the day!

I don’t know about you, but I really love watching my friends create on camera. Seeing their creative process (or mayhem, as the case may be) is like a mini tv show! Well, I’m bringing you another episode of my tv show…. *wink*

I’m excited to share that my amazing sponsor, re.Served, is providing me TWO giveaway prizes that I’ll be posting soon. If you’re a Craft Dash addict (or wannabe addict), you’ll love this! For my new readers, you must check out her adorable Etsy shop. Her concept is so neat, her products fabulous (I own several) and I love supporting a local small business!

That’s going to wrap up this post. Crossing my fingers this crummy health week will end soon so I can create some more things for the birthday theme. I have some great ideas in this brain of mine- let’s hope I can bring them to life!

Blissful Botanical Thanks + Video

Today I not only have a card for the 10 Minute Craft Dash #14 {sponsored by Lawn Fawn}, I also have a video showing how I created it! I don’t post a video for each challenge for a few different reasons…one of the main ones, I’m a perfectionist and I truly dislike how these videos show me scrambling about. I have no problem crafting with a timer when the camera isn’t rolling, but when it is, it’s like I freeze up!

I won’t go into detail of how I created this card, since it’s shown in the video. *wink* If you don’t already, I hope that you’ll subscribe to the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel. As I’m getting the hang of the lighting, working on camera and showcasing techniques, I’m hoping to post videos more regularly.

Do you spy that scrumptious ribbon? I bought a WHOLE bunch of it from one of my blog sponsors, Little Free Radical, in eight different colors. Crystal is such a sweetheart, has an amazingly fast turnaround time and her products are lovely! {Yes, I’m totally encouraging you to check out her site!}

Okay, now onto the craziness video…. As I was re-watching this video, I noticed there are a lot of awkward silence pauses. Eeek! This is what a video looks like raw and uncut.

That’s going to wrap up this post, sweet blog friends. I will be back tomorrow with a nautical inspired card and some cupcakes! Hope to see you then!
