Blog Hop

Don’t forget to hop in our day 2 post HERE!

Hello there! It’s Marge here, one of the newer PPP social media designers.

For the first card, I stamped the images and colored them all using copic markers, and then cut the images using the coordinating die set.

I used a pattern paper for yellow snowy background. After putting the Tic Tac Toe frame on a background paper, I laid pieces of the reindeer friends stamp set using foam tape and I also used pieces from the Angel Friends Stamp Set.

The sentiment was heat embossed using white embossing powder on a black card stock. The final touch was adding some Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix and Metallic Gold Sequins. I used copic markers E27, YR27, YR24,YR23  and YR21 for coloring reindeers. For red colors I usually prefer combination of R39, R29,and R27.

For the second card, I did the same with the Reindeer Friends Stamp set. To make a winter scene, I incorporated trees from the Holiday Pals Stamp Set, and the banner from the Angel Friends Stamp Set.

Suzy here with you today and we have a brand new batch of inspiration. One of the things I love the most about Pretty Pink Posh stamp sets is how they all go so well together! Today I have a card to share with you that uses three of the new sets to form a beach scene.

To make the background for this card, I started with a stitched rectangle (full card size) die-cut from watercolor paper. I then die-cut the new largest Stitched Diamond die from the center of this piece. I used a wet on wet technique to add pink watercolor just around the outside edges of the diamond. I embossed the sentiment from the Summer Friends stamp set on the top of the inside rectangle. I attached both pieces to a pink card base.

Next was the fun part – creating a little beach scene on this background. I stamped images from three stamp sets – Summer Friends, Sea Friends, and Fly A Kite – on white cardstock with a natural color ink. I colored all of the images in with Copic markers and used glitter pens to outline them and add details. I love the look of no-line coloring, but I always end up adding outlines after I’m done coloring them!

I arranged all of the images onto the card background overlapping them to fit them all on. I added some sequins from the Mermaid Sequin Mix around the images to finish the card.

Hello, Pretty Pink Posh sweet friends!

It’s time to start our two day Product Release Blog Hop for the July 2017 release. Many of you have already placed orders, but for those who were waiting for more inspiration, today and tomorrow the design team and special guests have all sorts of inspiration to share. Today we have Joni sharing a sweet card using the Fly Away Friends stamp set and Fly Away Friends Coordinating Dies.

To begin, I first distressed to white card panel with Tim Holtz Distress inks in Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers. Then die-cut the Twisted Citron distressed panel using the scalloped die from the Stitched Borders 2 Dies. For the second panel after distressing it with Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers. I then splattered it with water for added interest and let it dry.

For more added background effect I used the Uni-Ball Signo Broad White pen to create some white background dots. This helps if you don’t have white watercolor paint in your stash to use for splattering. Next, I stamped the sentiment using the Thoughtful Greetings stamp set.

For the images, I stamped with a brown ink and colored the images with Copic Marker. Then die-cut with its coordinating die-set.

Here’s just the close-up. I adhered my image and scallop piece with foam tape for dimensions. I also added some new upcoming Mermaid Sequins Mix to finish off the card.

A big congratulations to Altenew and their team on their 3rd anniversary. We are so honored to be part of this celebration! Happy hopping!

Hello, friends!

We are excited to be participating in a blog hop hosted by A Blog Named Hero. They are celebrating their fifth anniversary and since we have previously sponsored their challenge, they invited us to join in the festivities this weekend for their two day blog hop packed full of prizes and inspiration!

Today the talented Jeanne has created a special card for this occasion. I always adore the way Jeanne creates vibrant and fun backgrounds and this card is no exception. She used the Stitched Borders 3 die set and die cut the wide strip in a variety of colors. Imagine all the fun color combinations you could do with this concept!

Celebrations to me mean bright colors, confetti and balloons. The star confetti was made with stars from the Mini Tags die set cut from gold glitter paper. If you don’t want bulkiness or too much height, these little die cuts are a great way to get some sparkle onto your projects.

The little girl and balloons are from the new Friends Forever set and the sentiment is from the Everyday Greetings set. These sets are quickly becoming a favorite for many and it’s easy to see why- they are just so fun and versatile!

The little bow at the top is part of the Twine and Bows die set. This is such a unique set and if you like the look of bows, but maybe aren’t the best at making perfect bows, or again, don’t want to add bulkiness to your card, this set is a MUST HAVE!
