Quick post…. I wanted to let my wonderful blog readers know I’m hosting a giveaway on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel. I hit 1000 subscribers and I wanted to host a giveaway as a thank you to my subscribers. What does the lucky winner win? You’ll have to watch the video to see!
Also, I just made the stakes higher- I’ll give away a second prize to another lucky winner if I can get 100 thumbs up/ likes on this video. Think we can make it?
Judging from the comments, I need to make more videos in the future. I’m already thinking of more videos and hopefully I can add some new videos to my channel soon.
Hello, sweet blog friends! Over the weekend I got lots of think accomplished and one of them was filming my March haul video. Words can’t describe how happy I am to hear and see how much you all love my videos. I’m absolutely blown away that I’m almost to 1-0-0-0 subscribers on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel. You can bet that once I get to the big number, I’ll be doing a giveaway! I know you all really just want to see the video and the list of products, so let’s just jump right into it….
Now that I’m a sponsor for both Ellen Hutson and Simon Says Stamp, I wanted to make sure that I had links to either shop for the products (when applicable). Speaking of these two shops….on April 1st, I’ll have some big news coming and these two places will be a part of it. Oh, but wait, there’s even more news…. I’ll have eight other companies involved too! Question: can you guess what I’m announcing on April 1st? It’s going to be BIG and it’s a huge deal for Pretty Pink Posh. Can’t wait to read your guesses! I hope you enjoyed my haul video. Thanks for stopping by!
Is anyone else looking forward to Spring and Easter? I love everything about this time of year (well, not the rain… we get a lot of it here in Seattle!), but I DO love the flowers that bloom because of the rain. Flowers and I go hand-in-hand; I’m a sucker for fresh cut flowers and how they brighten up my studio.
For those who watched my March New Products video, you’ll recognize this card. I used the Springtime Sequin Mix for this card and love how the colors and those mini flower sequins complements the card. I think the Easter eggs with the sequins added in look adorable, don’t you?
I get a lot of questions asking how I adhere my sequins and I personally like Crystal Lacquer or Medium Matte. These both hold the sequins well and with the small application holes, it doesn’t get too messy.
Okay, now onto how you can purchase one of the SOLD OUT Springtime Embellishment Kits. I have 8 kits available and if you would like to purchase one, leave a comment with your name, state/country and quantity you would like. I’ll send Paypal invoices to those who leave a comment before they sell out. Then once these are gone I have no more.
NOTE: I’m sold out of the Springtime Mix of the cupped option and don’t know when I’ll be able to make more since my supplier is sold out of one of the colors….. Once I have them back in stock, I’ll definitely be posting it on the Pretty Pink Posh Facebook page. In the meantime, I do have the flat version available.
That’s going to wrap up this post. If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to the blog posts via emailso you don’t miss anything. Coming April 1st, I’ll have a post packed full of news, new products and more- only 15 days away!
I must apologize for my silence here on the blog this past week- I was battling the flu for a few days and that put me behind on all sorts of things. I’m finally caught up on everything, so I thought I would pop in and bring you a post with all sorts of happy news.
Firstly, it’s time to announce the winner of the Springtime Embellishment Kit. I am still blown away by the fact that this kit sold out in ONE DAY. Yes, you read that correctly. I’ve had many emails and requests for this kit and while I won’t officially be offering it again on the website, there IS a way you can get one. Be sure to visit the blog tomorrow for those details!
Vicki, I will be emailing you shortly for your mailing address. Thank you to everyone who left a comment and shared in the excitement of the new products!
Ellen Hutson just posted that there is a special two day coupon happening and I wanted to pass along this info to you all. You can save 17% off all the products they have in stock today and tomorrow. Wowza, that’s a hefty discount!
On Friday, I went over to their new warehouse to pick up an order and boy, I do love those gals so much. They were busy little bees filling your orders and it was lovely see take a peek at their new location. If you’re looking for wonderful customer service and a great selection of craft supplies, be sure to check out their site. LOVE supporting local small businesses!
That’s going to wrap up this post. I’ll be back with a new card tomorrow, along with info on how you can purchase one of the Springtime Embellishment kits. See you then!
It’s time for the monthly DeNami blog hop and the theme this month is: Fuzzy Friends. You all know I’m a sucker for cute critters and it was so hard to decide which animal I wanted to feature. Ultimately, I decided on the new fox- he was begging to be used. *wink*
If you started the hop from the beginning, you should be coming from adorable Leah’s post. This sweetie pie is so talented and I always get excited when she signs up for the hops. If you get lost along the way, head on over to the DeNami blog for the complete list of participants.
For my card I pulled out the new Woodland Mushrooms, Little Fox and the hello (from the Assorted Greetings set). I have been loving my new Springtime Mix of sequins and that helped me pick the colors for this card. You really can’t go wrong with aqua, pink, light yellow and mint green!
It’s been a while since I pulled out my picket fence border punch, so I thought that might be a nice addition with my newly purchased grass border die. LOVE it!
Well, it’s time for you to hop on over to the next stop: Melissa Chipperfield’s blog! Be sure to leave comments on each stop- we’re giving away DeNami gift certificates and with the birthday celebration savings, that will go even further!
Have a wonderful rest of your Sunday. Thanks for stopping by!
I had hoped to bring you my haul video and post today, but I had to put that on hold so I could get more Pretty Pink Posh orders out. WOW, I am utterly blown away by the response this weekend. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who ordered. I truly cannot say how much it means to me.
As promised, I’m announcing the winner of the $25 Ellen Hutson gift certificate I posted about HERE. It was so fun to read your wish lists and I have a feeling I’ll be doing something like this again. Truth be told, many of you have been using my Ellen Hutson affiliate link and this allowed me to host this giveaway! Basically, if you order through my link, I get a small commission and this in turn helps offset the costs of my hosting and such, and also allows me to do giveaways! It’s a win-win-win all the way around!
Okay, now let’s announce the winner, shall we?
Nicole, I’ll be purchasing the Ellen Hutson gift certificate later today, so be sure to keep an eye in your Inbox for it!
Thank you again to those who ordered from the Pretty Pink Posh Shop this weekend, and also those who entered this giveaway. It’s been such a fun week and as soon as I can, I’ll be posting the haul video and another card post.
Sending big hugs to each of you. Hope your week is off to a great start!
Today is the day many of you have been counting down to- it’s time to release the new embellishment kit and some new products in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop! I’ve been doing sneak peeks of the new mix these last few weeks on Instagram and now it’s available (both in cupped and flat sequins).
I am biased, but I truly do think my sequins are some of the best available. While I love all of my sequin colors individually, there’s something about putting together mixes that is therapeutic. With spring right around the corner, I just couldn’t resist doing a spring mix and spring embellishment kit.
I’ve been a busy bee packaging orders and sequins lately, so crafting time has been very little. The other day, creativity struck and when that happens for me, I have to take advantage of it and make something. This card was the result and I must say, now I want a sequin garland…. (these sequins are from the new Springtime Mix)
I used the Lawn Fawn Love You Tons set and the Love You Tons dies for this card and am in love with these cute guys! For the sentiment, I used the “hello” from the Into the Woods set and think it goes perfectly with this card. What do you all think?
Last month, I did a video showing the new products and you all seemed to like that. Here’s a new video showing the newest products in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop!
As I mentioned in the video, the Springtime Embellishment Kit will only be available for a limited time. I’m making one batch of these kits and when they’re gone, they’re gone for good. With the price only being $13, I have a feeling these will go fast, so be sure to get yours soon!
Ready to do some shopping? I hope so! I cannot wait to pick your orders and see what items caught your eye. Thank you to everyone who has ordered thus far- your support and encouragement has meant so much to me.
Today I don’t have a new card to share, but I will have one later this week. I’m working on a couple items for the new release that’s happening on Saturday (mark your calendars!) and I’m really excited to share them with you all.
Some of you may remember a feature I did in the past….it’s my On the Wish List feature! I know it’s so easy to miss some of the items from stamp companies and when friends share what’s on their wish list, it can 1) remind you of items you forgot you wanted 2) introduce you to new items 3) be trouble for your wallet. *wink*
Here are the items that caught my eye this month….
This month, I decided to splurge a little bit and I actually purchased a few of the items I have listed. I’m still waiting for a few of them to come in, but when they do, I’ll do a haul video!
I’m so grateful for all of the support and love I’ve received lately, so I wanted to do something special…. you’ll have until Saturday, March 1st to leave a comment with your crafty wish list and I’ll announce a winner on Monday.
Thanks for stopping in today. Enjoy your Wednesday!
What’s this? A new card? Yes, I finally got a bit of creativity (and time) and while I still feel rusty stamping, I’m glad I made something worthy of posting. *wink*
I hope you’re not tired of seeing sequin cards, because I’m not tired of making them. They are so fun to make and everyone I have given them to have loved them. For my shaker frame, I used the Photo Mats Diefrom Top Dog Dies, which made this shaker super easy to whip up. I plan on doing a new sequin shaker tutorial soon and I’ll be using this die- it comes with three polaroid sizes and they are so easy to use!
For this shaker, I used the Aquamarine, Pink Peonies, Lemon Drop and Sparkling Clear sequins. Curious how I came up with this color combination? I was actually inspired when I was packaging up a recent order for a customer! This color palette is so happy!
As I was assembling the card, the clouds looked a little bit lost. A little bit of faux stitching with a marker and voila! This not only made the clouds stand out, it also unified the card since I already had the other stitching on the focal point. My favorite markers to use for faux stitching are the Memento markers. They match the Memento ink pads (which I use when I color with Copics) and they have a fine tip perfect for faux stitching.
This weekend I was a busy little bee packaging up sequins and processing orders. I’m so happy that many of you were able to take advantage of the 10% savings coupon so far! If you’re new to sequins, or want to add some more to your collection, be sure to head over to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. I was looking over the colors I have in the shop and I can’t believe I have so many already!
Have you created a sequin shaker? If so, leave a link to your posts so I can take a peek. Sequin shakers have a special place in my crafty heart and in the near future, I have something planned with them. Stay tuned!
Today I’m joining in on Valentine’s Day Blog hop hosted by the sweet Jenn Shurkus! The hop started on February 1st and goes all the way through February 14th. That’s right, she’s posting 14 days of yummy Valentine goodness and organized 14 gals to join along in the fun. So honored to be one of her guests!
Do you remember THIS card? Well, I was so taken with that sweet little envelope that I had to bring it out again. Normally I would make this a super girlie card, but I wanted to make a special Valentine’s Day card for my dad. With my health issues, he has become extra in tuned to my issues and does everything he can to make life a little easier for me. I kid you not, he makes me breakfast every single day and yesterday he bought me pink roses- my favorite flower. Seeing as he blesses me every day, I wanted to make him a special card.
It’s no secret that I have an obsession with sequins and I have to add it to just about every card I make. There’s just something about them that makes a card complete! For this card I added my Sparkling Clear Sequins, along with the Red Heart Confetti.
If you haven’t already, be sure to stop by Jingle’s post from yesterday. She did a fab black, white and gold card that was not only trendy, but chic too! And then for tomorrow, you get to see Lenny’s post!
I promised exciting news and I get to reveal it now. My friends at Sweet Stamp Shop just released their newest stamp sets and their team is featuring lots of Pretty Pink Posh products! Exciting, right? This is my first collaboration with a stamp company since opening my shop and I am so thrilled with this opportunity. To make the deal even sweeter, I donated some products for a giveaway that they’re hosting on their blog.
In closing, I want to mention that there are a few sequin colors in the shop that are sold out. Don’t worry, I have them already on order and they should be here on Thursday or Friday. As soon as they arrive, I’ll post on the Pretty Pink Posh Facebook page, so be sure to stay tuned there!
Well, that’s going to close this post. I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and be sure to check out the giveaway over on the Sweet Stamp Shop blog. Thanks for stopping by!
Judging from the comments, I need to make more videos in the future. I’m already thinking of more videos and hopefully I can add some new videos to my channel soon.
Okay, now onto how you can purchase one of the SOLD OUT 
Vicki, I will be emailing you shortly for your mailing address. Thank you to everyone who left a comment and shared in the excitement of the new products!
