Christmas Gift Guides + Four Giveaways

Hello, friends!

We are a week away from Christmas and if you’re like me, you’re still running a little bit behind. Thankfully, I’ve been able to get quite a few gifts online and I’ll be doing the rest later today. I thought this year, I’d do something new and create some gift guides to share on the blog. These are handy in case you need some new ideas on what to give your family and friends this year.

In the spirit of this holiday season, I’m going to be doing four giveaways- one in this post and three more on specific Gift Guide pages. How will you find them? Visit each gift guide and you’ll see where the giveaways are. No need to follow the blog or social media- I’m making these giveaways super easy and you just need to leave comments!

Want to win a $50 Amazon gift card? Take a look at the gift guides that I put together and list the 3 (or more) things that I listed that you now want! I spent a lot of time curating these lists, so I’d love to see which items caught your eye!

I’m giving away over $100 in giveaways, so be sure to share these gift guides with your friends! I hope you have fun browsing through these items. Wishing you a great rest of the Christmas season!

Cards | Pretty Pink Posh Shop

Rainbow Umbrellas

Hello Pretty Pink Posh fans……so excited to bring you a post here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today!

I may also *wink* have a post over on the Simon Says Stamp Blog as well! You will have to go check it out too!

I thought I would change gears from holiday creating to one for any occasion. I’m not sure about you but I don’t know one person that doesn’t like bright colors of the rainbow. Here I’ve used the Rainy Days stamps and coordinating dies for a card that would cheer anyone up! I began by white heat embossing the raindrops from the set randomly over a panel of watercolor paper. Then with the technique of emboss resist, I watercolored with Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks. The embossing just resists the inks……love! At the bottom, I’ve stamped my sentiment in Onyx Black Versafine ink. See my tip below on how I added stitching to this panel!

I had fun stamping my umbrellas in various bright pigment ink colors. I choose these for their vibrancy and coverage. After assembling, I began laying out my card and adhering. As a last accent, I’ve added my favorite 4mm Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Tip: Ever want stitching on a panel you’ve trimmed down to size? On my watercolor panel, I trimmed it down and then added stitching to the edges using the straight stitching die from Stitched Borders 2. Use the straight “cutting” edge of the die as a guide to line it up on the edge of your paper and use Post It tape. By doing this, it gives you perfectly straight “stitched” edges every time!

Big thank you to Amy for sharing this great post today!

Don’t forget that tomorrow is the last day to save on ALL stamp sets and coordinating dies in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. I’ll be closing the shop for the holidays, so be sure to get your items soon so they ship before the new year!

Thanks for stopping by the blog. See you soon for the first part of the Christmas guide!

Tutorial: Handmade Ornament

Hello everyone, Joni here!

I am back for another tutorial using Pretty Pink Posh stamps and die sets. For this project I used the recent released Winter Friends stamp set, Winter Friends coordinating die set, and Decorative Tag 1 die set. This tag is really awesome to use to create your own ornament for your tree, along with the countless ideas for cards!

Pretty Pink Posh II Handmade Paper Ornament To begin I die-cut the tag die 6 times and removed scallop die-cut but left the middle part of the tag like the picture below, you just need 2. I also stamped the critters from Winter Friends stamp set on a watercolor paper and used the Zig Clean Color Real Brush, 60 set to color the images in.
