November Product Release Blog Hop- Day 1

November2015

Hello, sweet friends!

It’s time for the Product Release Blog Hop for the November 2015 release. Many of you have already placed orders, but for those who were wanting for more inspiration, today and tomorrow the design team and special guests have all sorts of inspiration to share!

Today I’m sharing a card using the adorable penguin, tree and little elements from the Holiday Pals set, along with the Scallop Frames die set. I chose more traditional colors for the card, but went a little crazy with the glitter “snow slope” and additions to the trees.

In the Holiday Pals set, there are several accessories you can use to dress up the critters. I used the bow to make one of the penguins a girl, but you could add earmuffs or glasses instead! To finish off the card, I used this darling sentiment from WPlus9. I thought it went with this little scene so well!

Tutorial: Shaker Tags

Hello everyone, Joni here!

I am back with another inspiration using the new Pretty Pink Posh released products. For today’s project I want to show you another way to use the new Stitched Photo Frame dies. With the holidays fast approaching, I want to create something that we already have in our stash and just use it a different way. Using the Stitched Photo Frame dies I create a tag that can be hung on the Christmas Tree or just simply a tag for a present.

Pretty Pink Posh: Shaker Tags

To begin I first assembled the pieces using the Stitched Photo Frame dies, I used large frame die to die-cut on a white cardstock and adhered a plastic sheet behind it. I also added the sentiment on the frames from Holiday Pals stamp set. Next I cut the same size white cardstock for the backing of the Stitched Photo Frame dies and distressed each one to add color for the background of the frame tag. I also added the hole on top of the backing using the circle hole shape from the Stitched Labels 1 dies.

Next, I stamped the images from Holiday Pals on a white cardstock and colored the images with color pencils except the ferns. I stamped the ferns using the Papertrey Ink in Spring Moss. After all the images have been colored I used the Holiday Pals die set to die-cut each image.

Pretty Pink Posh: Shaker Tags

Next, I added the foam tape on each of the frame die like the picture below, this will help the sequins and the seed beads move around on the frame. I also added a hole on the backing of the frame and added the twine. Then I added some of the Sparkling Clear sequins and Silver Shimmer Seed Beads on the frame. Then I removed the adhesives on the foam tape and adhered the backing.

Pretty Pink Posh: Shaker Tags

Here’s the look after adhering the backing on the frame.

Next, I adhered the die-cut pieces from Holiday Pals to finish off the tags.

November 2015 Release

Hello there, friends!

It’s an exciting day here in the Pretty Pink Posh studio- my big November release is now live in the shop! Whether you like sequins, seed beads, dies, or stamp sets, there’s sure to be a little something for everyone.

Stamp Sets // Coordinating Dies

Die SetsPretty Pink Posh

Today I wanted to share my favorite card that I created this week using the new products. I started off with the new Scallop Frames dies (which are exclusive in the shop) and die cut it in gold glitter cardstock. Thanks to Carissa, one of the PPP designers, I am obsessed with this stuff now. Next up I knew that I wanted to use the Stitched Photo Frames, so I die cut a bunch in a variety of colors and decided blue looked best on this card.

Pretty Pink Posh

Before I go on, I must say that the reindeer are by Lawn Fawn (because I’m a huge fan of theirs) and I wanted to show that my products work SO well with other brands.  However, I did incorporate the adorable Santa hat and sentiment from the Winter Friends stamp set.

To finish off the card I used some patterned paper to mat my elements and added a strip of white cardstock die cut with the scallops from the Stitched Borders 3 die set. Adhere a few Sparkling Clear sequins and your card is good to go!

Tip: run your dies through in a variety of colors to keep on hand. It’s a time saver when you need a quick card and helps when you visually need to see which color(s) look best!

Blog Hop Winners + Stamp Sets?

Hello, friends!

It’s time to announce the two winners of the $30 Altenew gift certificates. Be sure to head over to the Altenew blog to see who won the $30 Pretty Pink Posh gift certificates!

Pretty Pink Posh

If you are one of the lucky winners, please use the contact form, or send me an email to claim your prize. You’re going to have so much fun browsing the Altenew site!border

As many of my social media followers know, I’ve been hinting at releasing a couple of stamp sets. November is the month and we are just a handful of days away! There are going to be two holiday/ Christmas sets and one year round set in this mini release. I still don’t plan on becoming a “stamp company”, as I love being able to use stamps from my friends in the industry and enjoy the versatility of having my products being used with any brand. However, I had a few sets that I had been dying to release and thanks to the amazing response from the STAMPtember set (which one of these sets also coordinates with), I decided now was the time to debut them!

Pretty Pink Posh

I plan on creating later this week and you can be sure I’ll be sharing more sneak peeks and giving you all the info very soon! Thanks for joining me today!

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.
4 - someonelikeyou-p

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.

5 - someonelikeyou-p

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

6 - someonelikeyou-p

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

If you’ve been hopping along, you should have arrived from Pamela Ho’s blog!

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.

 Thanks for stopping by- I hope this card inspired you with your upcoming Christmas cards. I’ll definitely be back with more cards using these new Mama Elephant stamps in the near future!
