It’s time to announce the lucky winners of the Product Release Blog Hop. Thank you all for leaving such sweet comments on my blog, but also for my special guests and design team. They were all ecstatic to read your comments and I hope that YOU were inspired by their beautiful works of art!
If you missed the blog hop, don’t worry, you can still see the amazing inspiration in their posts. They are so inspiring and if you’re on Pinterest, you’ll definitely want to add them to your boards!
Okay, now it’s time to announce the lucky winners of the Product Release Blog Hop. It was SO fun to see all of your comments, read your excitement and also to fill the orders of those who ordered as soon as they released. Here are the two lucky gals that won a $25 PPP gift certificate…..

As I mentioned yesterday, I’ll be back later this week with a more heartfelt post. I’m still trying to decide what I want to write about. If you have suggestions, let me know!
I feel like it’s been ages since I wrote a post, just to write. Not for a blog hop or to announce winners, but a post just to update, chat and connect with you, my amazing readers and customers. I plan on doing a just because post this week– any specific topics you want me to blog about?
Today I have a card to share that I made using the new Cozy Christmas set from Ellen Hutson. These houses and trees are darling to create little scenes, or you can use them in “windows” like I did on my card. It was super easy to do with the Stitched Duo 1 and Stitched Duo 2, two of my die sets.
If you’re new to my blog, you’ll notice quickly that I love polka dots. A lot. They are perfect for backgrounds and to fill in any blank space you might have. For my polka dots on this particular card, I used the new Bokeh Dots set, which has dots in all sorts of sizes!
I know many of you have been waiting for my sequin restock and I am SO excited to say that ALL of my sequins are now restocked. Yes, all of the 6mm and 4mm sizes, along with the mixes. I still need to add in more inventory, but as of right now, everything is in stock and available for purchase. Also, I’m working on orders for many of my retailers, so they’ll be getting stocked up on their sequins as well. Thank you all for your patience!
Well, that’s a wrap for this post. I’ll be back tomorrow with the winners of the Product Release Blog Hop.
I am beyond thrilled to be a special guest in celebration of Mama Elephant’s 2nd Anniversary Stampede. The gals at Mama Elephant are such an inspiration to me and I must say, their stamps have quickly become my favorite brand. They have a knack for creating the perfect cute, whimsical and classic sets and their sentiments sets are superb.
Today I’m sharing their new set Block Party Letters, along with Polar Pals(a set previously released). I used the new letters to create “MERRY” and then I masked off one of the sentiments from Polar Pals to get the “and bright” sentiment.
My readers will know that I love shaker cards and it has been a little while since I created one. I thought today was the perfect time to fix this! Seriously, how scrumptious is this Aquamarine, Raspberry and Sparkling Clear mixture?
If you are new to sequin shakers, I put together a video showing how to make your own. It’s not as overwhelming as it may look, I promise! It has been such a joy to see so many of you making sequin shakers after watching my tutorial. Seeing that my video has inspired you totally makes the work behind it so worth it!
Now onto some of the details of the celebration….
Mama Elephant is giving away THREE $25 gift certificates each day of the Stampede, 9 winners total. Be sure to leave a comment on all of the blogs! There are also exclusive prize giveaways on their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, 3 winners total. Winners will be chosen and announced by Mama Elephant on Monday, October 20th on the Mama Elephant blog.
I’m the last stop for today’s Stampede, but just in case you haven’t seen the other blog posts, here are the links!
If you don’t own any Mama Elephant stamps yet, be sure to subscribe to my blog. I have several cards coming up featuring Mama Elephant AND I bought some extra goodies that I’ll be giving away on my social media sites soon. It’ll be Christmas a little early here!
I hope you were inspired by my card today- thanks for spending some time with me!
It’s time for the Product Release Blog Hop featuring the brand new dies I released on October 1st. This is my third die release and I must say, it’s SO fun to hear your reactions to the dies I design! Oh boy, today you all are in for a real treat. The design team and special guests have created a whole array of samples using the new dies (along with some previously released dies and sequins) and I cannot wait for you to see the AMAZING projects they made!
Before we get to their projects, I wanted to share a project that I made using the Stitched Tags die set.
I love using tags on my cards (as you’ve probably noticed in recent posts), but I wanted to stretch myself and use them in a new way. After some playing, I decided a colorful tag background was the way to go. Add in some polka dots (because everything is better with dots), glitter, sequins and voila!
It’s been a little while since I did a start to finish card video, but since many have been asking, I thought it was time to do another one. I tried something new in the video…. I’m curious to hear what you all think of it!
PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop- I’m giving away 2 $25 gift certificates to two random comments left before October 12, 2014 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!
Ready to hop on over and see LOTS more fabulous inspiration? Each of these gals are extremely talented and I truly am honored they took the time to make something with my dies- their projects and cards are going to blow you away.
Now that you have hopped along, you might find you NEED these dies. Good news, I still have lots in stock, they are available at Simon Says Stamp, and they’ll be at Ellen Hutson very soon!
In closing, here is the lucky winner from the Essentials by Ellen Blog Hop. Denise, I have emailed you, so be sure to check your inbox and send over your mailing information so the gals at Ellen can get your stamp set shipped off to you!
Thank you all for your enthusiasm about the new dies and sequins, encouragement and for spreading the word about Pretty Pink Posh. You truly make this journey a fun one and I can’t wait to design and release more products in the future!
I hope that you all had a terrific World Card Making Day and a wonderful weekend. Today I’m announcing the winner of the new release products– yes, the one who won all of the new goodies I released this month.
Teresa, I have emailed you. Please send over your mailing information and I’ll get your products shipped off to you.
Speaking of new products… you may be wondering if the design team will be sharing inspiration with the new dies. Yes, they will be! On Friday I’m having the Product Release Blog Hop and we’ll be showing samples with the new dies from the team AND four amazing guests. Here’s just a teeny snapshot at some of the inspiration that is coming on Thursday.
If you haven’t picked up the new dies yet, there are still some in stock! Plus, I’m getting another shipment in a day or two. These dies are so versatile and if you have crafty friends, they would make perfect Christmas presents!
Today I’m honored to be a special guest for the Essentials by Ellen Blog Hop! We’re so excited to unveil a brand new line of high quality Clear Stamp Sets and Designer Dies, designed by Julie Ebersole exclusively for Ellen Hutson LLC.
This collection reflects an eclectic mix of images, sentiments and art styles that are sure to appeal to a wide range of tastes! Just in time for holiday crafting, the entire release is available now at Ellen Hutson LLC.
Ready to see what I created? Let’s go…
My first card features the adorable gingerbread man from Tis the Season. I just love this little guy! I added the sprig from Christmas Scribbles to the top of the tags, which made it feel more festive and also brought in the green from the card base.
The little tags are from the brand new Stitched Tags die set I released (and will be at Ellen Hutson soon). I created a card, but you could easily just stamp one of the gingerbread men on a tag and make it a gift tag- easy peasy!
My next card showcases the three new brushstroke word dies- peace, love and joy. These brushstroke dies are so neat and versatile- they can work for cards and tags all year round! I paired these dies up with the Bokeh Dots set, which has all sorts of circular images and well, dots. *wink*
It’s hard to tell from this photo, but I actually die cut these words multiple times and adhered them together- it’s gives them an almost chipboard kind of look. (You’ll see this better in the video below) It had been a while since I broke out my metallic silver ink pad, but I love the little hints of sparkle you get from the circle shapes, along with the sequins.
My last card shows off the Brushstroke Joy die, along with the Christmas Scribbles set. I started off with the Stitched Duo 1 die as my focal point and created this little scene from there. You could easily switch out the turquoise for pink, purple, red or orange to change up the feel of the card. Imagine a trio of different colors in this design!
Did you happen to notice the itty bitty dots on the light blue cardstock? That stamp is from Bokeh Dots (which I go a little more in depth about in my video). You know how sometimes you need a little filler stamp for the blank areas on a card? This tiny dot is so perfect for that!
Once I finished my card, I realized it was a little flat, so I added my handy dandy sequins to dress things up. I used the 6mm Espresso, 6mm Sparkling Clear and 4mm Sparkling Clear. It’s such an easy step, but it really is the perfect finishing touch to so many projects!
It wouldn’t be a real blog hop without some sort of prize and the gals at Ellen Hutson have graciously allowed me to give the Tis the Season set away. All you have to do is leave a comment and one lucky winner will win this fun set!
Okay, now it’s time to to move on to the next stop and more chances at some prizes!
Head over to the CLASSroom, where there is a GIANT prize package being given away—be sure to leave a comment there by October 8th; winners will be announced October 9th!
Still can’t get enough? I filmed a video showcasing all of the new dies and stamp sets more in depth, along with some peeks at more cards I created with these products.
It’s Friday and I was contemplating on whether to do a post today, or just wait until the exciting post tomorrow with Ellen Hutson (for World Card Making Day). Alas, I miss blogging often and I thought you might enjoy seeing another card using the new Stitched Tags die set.
You may recognize the layout of this card- it’s similar to the winter penguin card I posted the other day. Isn’t it neat how simply changing out colors and stamps can have a card feeling completely different? These tags are so fun and I honestly cannot wait to start seeing samples from you all!
Today’s card features the Friendly Mummy, Halloween Fence and Polka Dot Background from DeNami Design. I had finished the card and then realized that it need something extra- hence adding the Halloween Mix and the Lawn Fawn grass die cut out from black cardstock.
Well, I will keep this post short since I have orders to fulfill and a long post to write for tomorrow. Thanks for stopping in today!
Many of you have been counting down the days and now it’s here. It’s time for a new release and I may have gone a little overboard on the amount of products this time around. Since I took a break from releasing anything last month, I’m hoping you all don’t mind!
First off, I’m super excited to say that I have two brand new die sets available this month. I love mini tags and the first die set has three shapes that are perfect for tags, cards, or can be used as embellishments. Of course, I had to include the stitching because well, we all know I’m obsessed with it….
In this close up photo, you can see the tags a little better. Have I mentioned that I’m a sucker for polka dots? Yup, lots of tone-on-tone polka dots going on here, but I love it. I added the Celery Chevron Twill ribbon at the top of the tags- doesn’t it bring the whole card together?
Just in case you’re wondering what set this penguin and snowflake are from, it’s called Winter Penguin and boy, do I love it. I’ll definitely be using it again. CLICK HERE to buy it from Simon Says Stamp, CLICK HERE to buy it from Ellen Hutson.
This next card doesn’t show off any new dies, but it does show off the metallic red sequins that are in the brand new 4mm Classic Christmas mix. I know many of you are prepping for Christmas cards, so I thought I would make this option available. The Christmas mix is a popular one and I’m so happy I could offer it in the popular 4mm size!
The Stitched Duo 1 is still one of my favorites and I had to break it out for this little scene card. I went a little more traditional for the colors, but don’t worry, I’ll be bringing you some whimsical and “non-traditional” Christmas cards in the future!
It’s hard to tell from the picture, but there’s a glittery snow slope behind Santa. Between that and the sequins on the tree and corners, this card is super sparkly!
CLICK HERE to buy this Santa set from Simon Says Stamp, CLICK HERE to buy it from Ellen Hutson.
I know that these cards don’t show all of the new products, but my video DOES show all the new products, along with peeks at more cards that I created. I’ll be sharing more cards on the blog very soon, and I just might do a new card video too!
Okay, now it’s on to one of my favorite things about new releases….a chance to give something to YOU, my amazing customers and readers. Leave a comment telling me your favorite new product from this month and one person will win the entire release!
Who is ready to do some shopping? I cannot wait to pick your orders and see what items caught your eye. Thank you to everyone who has shown your love, support and encouragement. Happy shopping!
Wow, is it really the last day of September? Do you know what that means? TOMORROW is release day and I’ll be sharing a couple of cards, a reveal video and the new products will be available for purchase!
As many of you know, I love giving you sneak peeks and today’s card shows one of the new dies that will be available starting tomorrow. Can you spot it? If you said the small tag die, you are absolutely correct. This is part of a trio of dies and I think you’re going to love them!
Last month, I shared the Impress Botanical Wreath set and I pulled it out again for today’s card. How pretty are those poinsettia blossoms? Love them in the rich Raspberry Jam ink from Hero Arts. (See below for the product list)
Lately I have been loving gold, but I thought I’d break out the silver for this holiday card. I added a few Metallic Silver sequins, along with a small silver jingle bell. I just love these little bells!
For some reason, the holidays make me want to break out the glitter and I added a touch to the poinsettia flowers. All sorts of sparkly goodness on this one!
Just in case you missed the news in my last post, I have a new podcast episode up with my friends at ScrapOwl. If you listen to the episode, let me know what your favorite part was! I always get so nervous doing these sorts of things, so any feedback from you gives me courage to more things like this in the future!
Well, I’m going to close this post. I will see you bright and early tomorrow for a new post and the unveiling of the new products!
It’s been a little over a week since I last wrote a post, but I promise it’s for a good reason. I’ve been a busy little bee prepping new product for my retailers for the October release (only a few days away!), along with getting crafty for some upcoming projects. I hate not being able to write often, but I hope that when I do have time for posts, you enjoy each and every one of them.
As I mentioned above, new products release on October 1st and let me just say, there’s a bit more than usual. Since I took last month off from doing a release, I wanted to make sure I made up for it this month. I have all sorts of goodies to share! Here’s a snapshot of two new mixes that will be available on the 1st. I’ve been doing sneak peeks on my social media, so be sure to follow the Pretty Pink Posh Facebook page or follow me on Instagram for more previews.
I wanted to let you know that I taped a new podcast episode with Renee at ScrapOwl. In this episode, we talked about design teams and referred to the Design Teams 101 series a few times. You may remember that I did a previous episode with her about blogging and my company (CLICK HERE). Thank you for having me again, Renee!
If you listen to the episode, let me know what your favorite part was! I always get so nervous doing these sorts of things, so any feedback from you gives me courage to more things like this in the future!
Have a fabulous weekend and thanks for spending some time with me today!
