Are you a fan of Pretty Pink Posh? Would you like to be a guest designer and want the spotlight? Well, now is YOUR time to shine!
I’m hosting my very first guest designer call and in normal Pretty Pink Posh style, I wanted to change things up from the norm and do a unique and creative call that is a WIN-WIN-WIN all the way around. (You’ll see what I mean after watching the short video in this post)
Submit up to FIVE (blank) cards and send them before 7/20/2014 to:
Pretty Pink Posh PO Box 766 Maple Valley, WA 98038
Mail your blank card(s), along with a note stating your name, how many cards you sent and your email address. On the BACK of your cards please write your name, city/ state/ country and your BLOG address.
Reminder: all cards must be received before 7/20/2014 to qualify for this call.
I am so excited to receive your cards, mail them to my team, stores and distributors and showcase them in a future video.
If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment and I’ll respond there, or if you would rather send an email, you can do that as well (please note that I do get a lot of emails, so replies may not be as quick if done this route).
I have a new video to share with you….it’s my June 2014 Craft Haul! Before I share my video, I want to say a GIANT thank you to every single person who subscribes to the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel. I have surpassed 2000 subscribers and I’m on my way to the next milestone number- 2,500! Once I hit that number, I think it’ll be time for some sort of giveaway. I’ll have to think of something fun and unique….
In case any of the items in my haul are things you might like to add to your shopping list, I have the items linked below (and also in the description box in the video). I think I got everything listed- if I missed anything, or you have questions, always feel free to leave me a comment!
For my fellow Ellen Hutsoncustomers, there’s a 15% off coupon valid until tonight. Stock up on your necessities and cross some items off your wish list.
Can I get gushy for a moment? I want to send giant hugs to each one of you. Truly, I wouldn’t be the person I am (or be in the place I am with my business) if it weren’t for the faithful prayers of my readers, the wonderful emails/ comments and those special gifts and cards you send my way. I am so very blessed to have you all in my life!
*Okay, now back to our regularly scheduled post…..*
Oh my goodness, did Father’s Day creep up on anyone else? As I was making a run to the post office, I came to the realization that Father’s Day was on Sunday and I needed to make my dad a card. STAT. Every year I make my dad a card and each time I make “us kids” into stamped creations. One year we were dogs, the other cats, owls… yeah, we’ve been pretty much animal you can think of. This year, I decided to make us gnomes, courtesy of this Woodland Chickie.
For those new to my blog, there are five kids in our family (I’m the oldest) and we each have unique personalities. I tried my best to showcase that in this card, without adding extra fuss. Thanks to the Stitched Duo 1 dies, this card was a piece of cake!
It makes me so happy to hear that many of you have purchased the other dies that I’ve been using in my recent cards. Lately, in addition to the PPP dies, my go-to ones is this Mama Elephant combo set and the Lawn Fawn Grassy Border. These dies are definitely “must haves” in my book!
In the last few days, I’ve been getting emails from customers sharing their creations using the dies. There are no words for how happy it makes me to see you enjoying my products and the encouragement you bring to me for future endeavors. I can’t reveal much, but stay tuned for some announcements coming in August….. you won’t want to miss it….BIG things are in store!
Today I don’t have any cards to share (of my own), but I did want to share a little collage of photos I put together from some of the cards found in the Product Release Blog Hop. My design team and special guests did such an amazing job with the new PPP dies, don’t you think?
If you didn’t get to take a peek at the various stops, be sure to head to the post and hop along. While you won’t be eligible for a prize, there’s so much amazing inspiration, it’s almost like a prize in itself!
As many of you know, I sold out of the new dies within 24 hours (despite having LOTS in stock!). If you were hoping to get one or both of the dies and didn’t want to wait until they are restocked in three weeks, I’m proud to announce that Ellen Hutson has them on their site now!
It’s time to announce the lucky winners of the Product Release Blog Hop I had last week with the DT and special guests. It was SO fun to see all of your comments, the excitement behind the dies and also filling your orders. Here are the two lucky gals that won a $25 PPP gift certificate…..
If you are one of the winners, please email me so I can send over your gift certificate code. Click the “contact” button at the top of the blog and send over your info so you can start to shop!
It’s also time to announce the lucky winner of the combo pack- the one that includes BOTH of the new dies and the Patriotic Embellishment Kit. Congratulations to Lynette! I have gone ahead and emailed you, Lynette, for your mailing address; please be sure to look in your Inbox.
Oh goodness, this past week has been CRAZY in terms of emails, blog questions and orders. I’m swimming along and trying to get everything done, but if you’ve emailed or are awaiting a reply, please be patient with me. I honestly haven’t been this busy since the opening of the shop and didn’t anticipate this wonderful blessing of excitement from the dies. Rest assured, I already have LOTS of dies on order and as soon as I get word on when they will arrive, I’ll let you all know.
Despite being busy, I just couldn’t resist taking part in the DeNami blog hop this month. With the theme being Bright Blossoms and it also being the last blog hop before the Fall, I had to join in the fun. Flowers and I go together like cake and ice cream! If you started the hop from the beginning, you should have come from Andrea’s blog.
I actually originally created another card- I even stayed up until 1am stamping it- but the end result was horrible. In fact, I didn’t even finish it. After sleeping on it, I decided to trek back into the studio and this was the end result. Since it’s not a super elaborate card, I wanted to include a video to “dress up” this post a bit more. Hope it works!
Well, I’m the last one in the blog hop…. if you would like to start from the beginning and see lots of bright and happy cards, head on over to the DeNami blog and check out the stops and leave comments for a chance at winning prizes!
Today is a day I’ve been counting down the day to…. I’m having a blog hop with the PPP DT and some of my talented crafty friends. As you probably know by now, I have released my very first Pretty Pink Posh Dies and I wanted to inspire you all with LOTS of fabulous inspiration with the dies. You all up for it? I hope so, because I have friends from all over the world sharing their projects using MY dies!
For those new to my blog, I started a small company back in December that carries sequins, twine and other crafting embellishments. I’m a huge fan of dies and now that I have some orders and experience under my belt, I decided it was time to release some dies that I’ve designed. I’m proud to say that these are made in the United States, are 100% steel and work perfect for paper crafts of all sorts.
In my first card, I’m showcasing both the Stitched Duo 1 dies and the Stitched Borders 1 dies. Thanks to my dies, I now utterly obsessed with creating little window scenes. These dies make it SO easy and you can do so much with them!
Just in case you’re wondering which stamps sets I used for this card, I pulled out the Just Hatched and On Point Borders sets from Mama Elephant. I just love these sets and they work beautifully with my new dies! To finish off the card, I used the Grassy Border die from Lawn Fawn- I thought it was the perfect finishing touch!
Now I know many of you are in love with the monster stamps that I’ve been using lately, so I thought I would bring you another card with them. You may recognize this stamp- I used it in my sequin shaker tutorial video. It’s such a happy image and I really like that it doesn’t take long to color.
By request, I filmed a video showing exactly how I made this card. Oh yes, and there’s a little peek at a new product that’ll be released in July! *wink*
PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop- I’m giving away 2 $25 gift certificates to two random comments left before June 8, 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!
Okay dokie, now I know you all want to see the fabulous inspiration…. here’s the list of blog hop stops. Each of these gals are extremely talented and I truly am honored they took the time to make something with my dies.
I wanted to do one last thing to say thank you for joining in this hop….enter below for several chances to win BOTH of the new dies, along with the brand new Patriotic kit!
Thank you all for your enthusiasm about the new dies, 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 dies in the future!
Just a quick little post today. I wanted to let you all know that tomorrow, June 5th, I’ll be having a blog hop to showcase the new Pretty Pink Posh dies! I’m bringing along some very special guests, along with the PPP team and we have all sorts of scrumptious inspiration to share with you. Below is just a peek at some of the projects- there’s even more that what I’m showing!
For those who have ordered the dies already, I’m getting your orders together and will ship by Friday (if all goes as planned). For those who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Stitched Duo 1 dies, another large batch of them will be available starting tomorrow! If you would like to be notified as soon as they’re back in stock, be sure to click the “email me when back in-stock” link on the product page HERE.
Well, I better get back to packing and picking orders. I hope to see you ALL tomorrow!
Wow, you all have absolutely blown me away with your enthusiasm about my new dies. I’m thrilled to say that the first two batches of the Stitched Duo 1 dies sold out within 24 hours, but there’s still some more of the Stitched Borders 1 dies! For those who are wanting to order the tag/ window pane dies, they’ll be available again starting on Thursday and I’ll ship them out as soon as they arrive next week.
Today I’m honored to be a part of a video hop that Laura Sterckx has put together in honor of reaching 1000 subscribers on her YouTube channel. Head on over to her blog post HERE for all of the info and you can get all of the video links there.
When I think of Laura, I think of happy and cheery cards, so I wanted to make one that fit into those categories. I pulled out the darling Happy Monster Partystamp from DeNami Design, along with the Make A Wish and well, you can watch all of it in the video below!
I mentioned in yesterday’s blog post that I’ll be having a blog hop on Thursday showcasing the new dies. I have some very talented gals joining as special guests and I know that you’ll be inspired by their projects. Oh yes, and let’s not forget there are prizes involved, too! I hope you have a fabulous start to your week. Be sure to head on over to Laura’s blog for all the info on the video hop- it’s packed full of amazing videos!
It’s that time again… it’s time to show off the newest products in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop! I’m particularly excited about this month because I finally get to officially show off the newest product I’m carrying- 100% steel dies that I designed! I’ve been showing them off in some of my latest posts and photos and now it’s finally available to you all!
Today’s card is one that screams Summer to me. It could be because of the Snorkel Chickie and Under the Sea set, or maybe it’s the colors…. whatever the case may be, I was definitely dreaming of being in Hawaii when I made this card. Granted, I would never venture underwater like this, but I like the idea of it!
How fun are those little “windows” inside of the tag? I honestly cannot get over how many possibilities I’ve been able to come up with these dies. Once you get your hands on them, I have a feeling you’ll be whipping up lots of creative ideas, too!
I put together a video introducing my new dies, along with some card ideas and then I show how you can create the card above. For those who are interested in just the introduction, you’ll just need to watch the first 5 minutes.
Okay, now onto some pretty fabulous news. On Thursday, June 5th, I’ll be having a mini blog hop with the DT and some special guests featuring the new dies. You’ll definitely want to hop along- I’m giving away gift certificates and these gals have created some phenomenal samples to inspire you!
For those of you who were eying the Patriotic Embellishment Kit and couldn’t purchase the combo pack on Memorial Day, I have them up for sale now! If you plan on making 4th of July cards, scrapbook pages or projects, this little kit is perfect!
Thank you so much for joining me today. If you purchase the dies, embellishment kit, or my sequins, be sure to hashtag your pictures on Instagram and Facebook. I LOVE seeing what you do with my products and you never know, I might feature your photo or ask you to be a guest in the future!
I’ll be back tomorrow for a new post and video for a special occasion. See you then!
As some of you may have noticed, I haven’t been posting too often, but that’s not to say I haven’t been keeping busy. I have three videos going up within the week, the brand new dies and Patriotic Embellishment Kit will release on Sunday and there’s lots of other things happening behind-the-scenes. There are collaborations coming, new products and well, you just never know what other surprises I have up my sleeves.
Recently my dad needed me to re-create a card for a show display and well, I had to change it up a bit. I don’t know about you, but I rarely create the exact same card over- there’s always something I want to change! This card was inspired by THIS CARD that I posted for an old blog hop.
I’ve been getting TONS of emails and comments asking where this large stitched tag is from. Good news: it’s a die that I designed and will be available for purchase on Sunday. Just a few more days! Also, that fun stitched “hill” is part of the border trio that I designed as well.
Curious as to why there are eight owls on this card? The original card was designed for my dad as a Father’s Day card and there are 5 of us kids (the ones in the box), then there is my brother-in-law and my parents. Whenever I can, I always try to include the 5 of us kids into the cards for my parents…. speaking of which, I should probably start designing my Father’s Day card for this year!
Since this card was based off of a previous card, I’d love to hear which one you prefer! Personally, I like the new one (since it’s more my colors and style now), but I’m curious to hear your opinions! I’m thinking this might be a fun feature….yes? no?
That’s all for today’s post. I’m hoping to craft all day today, if that happens, I’ll post snapshots of what I’m working on to my social media accounts. Be sure to follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
