Tutorial: Cake Pops Card

Hello Everyone, Joni here and I am back with more inspiration using the new Mini Tags dies that we love so much. Cake Pops anyone?

1 - someonelikeyou-p

To begin, I distressed the corners of an A2 flat card panel. I only used three colors, but of course you can use more for your project if you need. 2 - someonelikeyou-p

Next, I die-cut the round tag from the Mini tags die set for my cake top.

3 - someonelikeyou-p

Then, I adhered some strip of white cardstock at the bottom of the point of the round mini tags. I also distressed the white card panel with Wplus9 Hayride dye ink and die-cut the right side of the A2 white panel with my all time favorite Stitched Borders 3 dies. I also added some watercolored stripe patterned paper on the card base.

The sentiment from Mama Elephant Make a Wish stamp set is stamped with Versamark Ink on a brown strip of cardstock and white heat.

Next, I placed the cake pop on top of the white cardstock panel and adhered with foam tape for dimensions. I also added some Golden Rod Stickles and White Opal Liquid Pearls on top of the cake pop to make look more realistic.

I also added some White Opal Liquid Pearl on the white panel and adhered some Marshmallow sequins in 6mm and 4mm.

For the sentiment I also added some foam tape for dimension.

Here’s just another look of the Cake Pop card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s feature! If you create a card similar to this one, or use Pretty Pink Posh on your projects, don’t forget to tag Pretty Pink Posh so we can see it too!

Have an Awesome day!!!

I was so thrilled to be asked as a guest designer for this special event for Mama Elephant. I’ve been a long-time fan of their stamps and I squealed in delight when I first saw the Reindeer Games set. These little reindeer are adorable and I had all sorts of fun creating with this set. I knew that a winter scene was a must, so I pulled out the little penguin from Polar Pals (a previously released set) and constructed this winter wonderland.

While this card may look intricate, it really all came together easily. I die cut the card base with the scallop frame from the Femme Frames/ Basic Set and then used the rectangle as my focal panel. For my background, I wanted a subtle design, so I did a bit of tone-on-tone stamping with the On Point Background set. Thanks to lots of glitter, I was able to achieve the snowy hills and then added my stamped images. To finish off the card, I added a few Sparkling Clear sequins, Wink of Stella on the animals and a couple metallic red sequins on the reindeer noses.

October Product Release Blog Hop

Pretty Pink Posh

Hello, sweet friends!

It’s time for the Product Release Blog Hop for the October 2015 release. Many of you have already placed orders, but for those who were wanting for more inspiration, today is the day! I have stocked up the shop with tons of sequins, restocked the die cuts and just in case any new dies sell out, there are more coming next week!

For today’s card, I wanted to showcase the die set I was most excited to release, the Mini Tags. There are five tag shapes, along with three mini confetti pieces in this set. The possibilities are endless! You can use these tags for gift tags, or you can incorporate them onto your cards, like I did.

Pretty Pink Posh

I wanted to show off the tags in a unique way, so I decided to turn them sideways and use each tag to show a different stamp. For my card base I used my current favorite mini paper pad, Let’s Bokeh in the Snow. These colors are definitely my go-to this season. I love how whimsical they are and they just may have inspired me for an upcoming sequin mix…

I am one of the guest designers for Mama Elephant this month, so I was lucky enough to get the Reindeer Games set early. I think they look darling on the Mini Tags! I colored these little guy with my Copics and realized that the background was a little too plain, so I stamped the fun triangle border from On Point Borders onto each aqua panel. To finish off the mini tags, I die cut the bows from the Twine and Bows die set.

Pretty Pink Posh

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop- I’m giving away 2 $25 gift certificates to two random comments left before October 18, 2015 at 11:59 PM PDT. I’ll be announcing the winners next week, so be sure to return and see if you are one of the winners!

Trick or Treat + Giveaway

Hello, hello!

I’m back with another Halloween card- this one shows off the darling new Holiday Party Animal set from Lawn Fawn. They included so many adorable little additions in this set- it definitely is a “must have” in my book!

I wanted to start off with a lot of gray and black and then have a pop of color in the middle. Thanks to the squares in the Stitched Duo 3 die set, I was able to accomplish this look easily. You could use this idea with all sorts of colors and it would look great!

I’ve mentioned in previous Halloween cards that the Teeny Star Background from DeNami Design is one of my favorites. I love stamping it with black ink and creating backgrounds, or in this case, filling in some white space. I think it helps bring together the black from the card base and set the scene for a Halloween card.

To finish off the card, I decided to add some twine and a trio of sequins from the Sparkling Clear Mix. Notice the three sizes of sequins? That’s all in one mix, along with another larger size. It’s perfect if you’re just starting to collect sequins, or you’re a fan of the Sparkling Clear.

I purchased an extra set of the Holiday Party Animal and want to give it away to one of you, along with a pack of sequins! With these products, you’ll be set to create all sorts of fun holiday cards.

a Rafflecopter giveawayBe sure to mark your calendars for tomorrow, October 15th. I have a super fun blog hop that will showcase the new dies, sequins and droplets and I’m bringing along the design team and some amazing special guests, and there will be prizes!

Tutorial: Warm Holiday Hugs

Hello there everyone! Joni here and I am back with more inspiration using your new Pretty Pink Posh dies. I am really am so excited for the new Decorative Tag 1 from the latest release.

To begin, I die-cut the inside scallop oval die from the PPP Decorative Tag 1 to create a background frame for my watercolor card base.

Next, I adhered the scallop oval on the card panel then watercolored the inside with Windsor & Newton Gold watercolor paint.

Here’s the look of the watercolored background. I also added the Wplus9 Holiday Hugs image that I colored with Copics and die-cut. The sentiment is also from the same Holiday Hugs, which was white heat embossed on a black piece of scrap paper.

Find the Holiday Hugs set at Simon Says Stamp HERE / Ellen Hutson HERE

Here’s the final look, I added some foam tape at the back of the die-cut image and sentiment for dimension. I also added the pretty new product from Clear Droplets in 6mm and 4mm, you guys are going to love this product if you have not ordered it yet.

Another view of the card.

I hope you guys enjoyed today’s tutorial! For more inspiration with the newest products, be sure to join us this Thursday for another fun filled event with inspiration and prizes. Here’s a peek at some of the cards. For more sneak peeks and giveaways, be sure to join the event page on Facebook HERE.

You’re Boo-Tastic

Hello and Happy Friday!

I’m so happy to say that I’m all caught up on new release orders- a giant thank you to everyone who ordered. I’m getting some retailer orders shipped out soon, so be on the lookout for PPP in the retailers that carry my products.

Today I wanted to share a full Halloween shaker card I created recently. I feel like a lot of Halloween cards are black, gray and orange, so I wanted to create something with a different color palette. I used the new Spooky Days Mix as my inspiration and created a card highlighting those colors.

I must say, one of my very favorite dies is the Storybook 1. It’s so versatile and you can create all sorts of scenes and shakers using it as a negative, or use the inner pieces for panels on your projects. It’s been a joy to see this die set all over blog land recently!

On this card, I started off by using the pumpkins from the So Thankful set. This is a mini set but I’ve used it on so many cards and absolutely love it. I paired it with the Halloween Kitty (another one I pull out every year), the bat from Trick or Trick set and the sentiment is from the Bootastic set.

In the craft session when I created this card, I also made several other Halloween cards. I’ll do my best to share them all before the end of the month!

Want to see more cards using the So Thankful (pumpkin) set? Here’s three of my favorites…

If you’re one of the people who purchased the Darling Friends stamp set that was designed exclusively for Simon Says Stamp, I wanted to share some cards that the design team created recently. This set was so fun to create and let’s just say that if you have it, you’ll be able to use it with some upcoming sets.

That’s going to wrap up this post. Thank you for stopping by and spending some time with me today!

October 2015 Release

Hello there, friends!

Today the new October release went live and I am so very excited to be sharing these products with you. This month, I have three super versatile die sets, along with new sequin mixes and a brand new product called Clear Droplets that you are going to love.

Pretty Pink Posh

On today’s card, I wanted to showcase the Decorative Tag 1 die set. There are three dies in this cute set and boy, the possibilities are endless with this one. I really wanted the larger shape to take the spotlight, so I die cut it with some festive patterned paper. I really enjoy creating Christmas and holiday cards in non-traditional colors, so I decided to pair the red up with this light blue. I thought the snow flurry paper in the background really bought everything together!

Pretty Pink Posh

Since I kept the card design pretty basic, I wanted to make sure the little reindeer shine. I stamped and die cut him and then colored him in with some Copics. To add a little more shimmer, I added a glitter snowy hill underneath him (which I can never seem to photograph well) and one little red metallic sequin on his nose. I really wanted to use the “special delivery” sentiment from StudioL2e, so I decided to add a little present. Love the way this turned out!

Pretty Pink Posh Despite the fact that I have dozens of different sequin colors, I always seem to gravitate to the Sparkling Clear Mix. They go with everything, especially cute Christmas cards!
