BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAYS

giveaways_smallI know it’s tradition for the birthday person to receive gifts on their birthday, but I wanted to give YOU some gifts instead. I have been so very blessed by my amazing blog readers and those who follow me on social media, that I wanted to “share the love” and gift some of my favorite items to three lucky people.

I know that many, if not most, of you are visual (like I am), so I filmed a quick video showcasing what’s included in each prize….

I’m going to make it SUPER easy for you to enter. I personally dislike when I have to post about something on my blog, jump through hoops and do a little dance to enter giveaways, so I won’t make you do any of those things.

1) Leave a comment on THIS blog post (one comment per person)

2) For additional entries, follow my social media pages:

3) Giveaways end on July 20, 2014 and I will pick winners later on that week and announce in on the blog.

See, I told you it was going to be easy! I know I said it in the video, but I truly am grateful for my faithful blog readers and all of the friends I have made through the various social media sites I have. Getting to know and befriend people from all across the world has been so neat and I hope these giveaways give you a little taste of how much I love you all.

Lastly, I know that many have asked for a coupon code for the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and since today’s a special day, I have one! I don’t have sales or coupons often, so this is a great time to stock up and SAVE! :)

Well, I’m going to start celebrating now, so I’ll wrap this up. Be sure to let your friends know about my giveaways; the more, the merrier!

*Disclaimer: I wish I could give gifts to every one of my readers, but this girl is also on a budget. Each product I have purchased myself and I will be using my own funds to ship. If you are one of my International readers, you CAN enter. :)

May Wish List + Giveaway!

Hello and Happy Friday!

Today I’m bringing my (monthly) On the Wish List feature back to the blog. I’ve been so busy with my full-time job on top of my Pretty Pink Posh work… sadly, this feature got temporarily put on the back burner. I’m still trying to find a groove and rhythm of fitting everything I need to do into my daily life, but I’ll get there….eventually.

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, I wanted to let you all know about a 20% Ellen Hutson coupon code.  After all, we all like saving a little money on crafty goodness!

momsday14In case you’re overwhelemed with the amount of crafting goodness there is, I’ll share what on MY wish list right now. Yes, a couple items are ones I’ve listed in the past, but I still haven’t purchased the items. (So many cute items, so little money!)

I wanted to also share some of my current craft favorites….in case you still haven’t gotten a chance to pick them up. These items are tried and true products I love- I hope you love them just as much as I do!

You all know I absolutely ADORE Ellen and her team and I wanted to offer up a $25 gift certificate in honor of Mother’s Day. Ellen truly is one of my biggest cheerleaders and I’m SO blessed to have her carry my products. Also, stay tuned- very soon she’ll have all of my 4mm sequins on her site!

I plan on taking the weekend off from packaging orders and sneak some craft time in. Granted, it’s not exactly a work-free weekend, but it’ll be a nice break. You can bet I’ll have a Starbucks cup nearby (a HUGE thank you to those who sent over donations! I’ll be sending handmade thank you cards to you very soon!)

Have a splendid weekend!

Fresh Summer Roses + GIVEAWAY

Do you ever see a stamp set and fall in love instantly? That’s what happened as soon as I saw the sketches that Nami did for what is now the Solid Rose Accents set {that just released today over at DeNami Design}. The rose captured  my heart and I knew the possibilities with it would be endless. I have definitely found my new favorite stamp set!

I wanted to go use some bright and happy colors and chose  melon/ berry colors as my base. After playing with these roses, I had to restrain myself from going out in search of flowers these colors!  I’m such a sucker for fresh cut flowers, especially ones in pretty colors!

You may have noticed that I faintly stamped the roses on my main panel. Since I didn’t have any good light colored inks that matched it, I did the tried and true stamp on scratch paper/ stamp on panel trick. I haven’t done this in ages, but it got the job done for this project!

prettypinkposh_loveyou1c

Since this set JUST released today and I want to pass on my love of it, I purchased one to giveaway!  To enter, you just need to tell me what your favorite flower is! Easy peasy!  I’ll run the giveaway through the weekend and announce it on the blog Monday, July 15th.

solidroseI hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday. For those of you who plan on shopping over at DeNami later on, HAPPY SHOPPING!

Shine Bright + Sequin Giveaway!

I think I need a nickname having to do with sequins- I cannot get enough! It seems like no matter how much I try to create cards without them, they somehow make a way onto my creations. I am hopelessly and utterly addicted.

It’s that time again…..GIVEAWAY time! As promised, I have another sequin giveaway and I’m thrilled to say that this one is being sponsored by Neat & Tangled!  I picked out five of my favorite sequin colors {do you realize how hard this was….it’s like picking a favorite child!} and Danielle graciously provided them as the giveaway.

Seeing as there’s a giveaway, I thought it appropriate to share a card showcasing the colors the lucky winner will be receiving. All you need for this cutie are some star dies, sequins and a sentiment, easy peasy!

For those new to my blog, in case you need some inspiration on sequins, I have lots to share. I debated on the easiest way to share all of the links and decided creating a Pinterest board would be the way to go. Click here to all of my sequin creations.

Okay, now let’s get to the good stuff….. the details of the giveaway and all the different ways you can enter!

Everyone likes to hear about a giveaway, so be sure to share, tweet and email all of your friends about the giveaway!

I hope that with each sequin post, I’m passing along my love of them to more of you, my amazing readers. If you’ve created crafty projects with sequins, I’d love to take a peek. Feel free to leave a comment with the direct blog link to your post(s) so the fellow sequin lovers and I can take a peek. :)

Pretty Princess + GIVEAWAY

For my long-time readers, you know that I enjoy doing giveaways. With a limited budget, I’m not able to do them too often….however, occasionally a company will reach out to me and want to host one on my blog. Today is one of those special days!
