Craft Haul

April Craft Haul + Giveaway

It’s April and I’m so happy to be fairly caught up on things here. Today I spent the day cleaning the studio and prepping room for the May release that’s coming in a few weeks. In addition, there are three brand new designers joining the PPP team and I cannot wait to reveal them to you the last week in April. Enough of the teasers… let’s get back into today’s haul!

This month, I got a couple of the new ones from Mama Elephant and some older stamps sets from Lawn Fawn. Thanks to the coupon that Ellen Hutson had recently, I didn’t feel *too* guilty getting some of the sets I’ve been eying for a while. I also had to stock up on some of my go-to cardstocks and ribbons, which you’ll see in the video.

borderRecently, I got a bunch of goodies from my friends at Imagine Crafts. You may know them (they recently changed their name from Tsukineko) and are the company behind the beloved Memento, Versafine, Delicata inks and much, much more. They sent me their brand new Delicata 4 ink cub set for me to try out and they also gave me an extra to giveaway!

I always try to host my various giveaways on my different social media accounts, just so everyone who follows me has a chance to win. For this particular giveaway, I’m doing it on the Pretty Pink Posh Facebook page. Directions are on the very first picture on my page, or you can click the picture below.

I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. I plan on getting some designing and crafting done and maybe even take a couple much needed days off. We’ll see how that goes. Thanks for spending some time with me today.

 

January/ February Haul + GIVEAWAY

It’s been sunny and you know what that means…. VIDEOS!

I know many of you enjoy my craft hauls and since it was too cloudy to film in January, I combined my January and February haul. There were so many great releases from some of my favorite companies and needless to say, I went a little crazy.

Be sure to watch the video- I’m doing a giveaway for not-yet-released PPP dies, along with other goodies! Click over to YouTube link to get the details on how to enter.

Thanks for spending some time with me today. XO

October/ November Craft Haul + GIVEAWAY

I’ll admit it, I totally slacked in the video department last month. October was ridiculously overcast and rainy here in Seattle, which meant lighting was messed up and let’s all be honest, bad lighting in videos is not appealing. With that being said, it’s been sunny the last three days and I’ve filmed three videos. Stay tuned for those soon!

I know many of you enjoy my craft hauls, so I thought I would combine my October and November haul into one video.  I’m doing a giveaway in this video for an exclusive, sold out set, so be sure to click over to YouTube to get those details and enter.

I know that many of you will be inspired by her tips and tricks, PLUS, today is the last day to enter her giveaway for a $25 PPP gift certificate! nichol_storageI hope that you enjoyed today’s video and the storage inspiration by Nichol. Don’t forget to enter the two giveaways I mentioned in this post!

Winter Bunnies and More!

Okay, has this month flown by for anyone else? Even though I didn’t do a release this month, I’m amazed at how busy I have been. I’ve been working up a storm designing new dies for the new year, along with working on packaging products for October AND creating samples. It’s been a fun week and let’s just say that my studio is evident of this fact. (In other words, it’s a disaster)

I recently purchased a ton of new stamps and as soon as I finished filming my haul video, I started crafting. Oh my goodness, I have a million ideas stuffed in this brain of mine- I hope I can create at least a small handful of them. Now I know it’s a tad early to share Christmas projects, so I won’t go full on Christmas just yet. I’m still creating Fall, Thanksgiving and everyday cards, but I’ll sprinkle in Christmas cards here and there.

I’m slightly obsessed with the Sparkling Clear sequins I carry- in 4mm, 6mm and 8mm sizes- and I just realized they make the perfect little “snowballs” on cards. Seriously, how cute do these snowballs look with the bunnies from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day set?

Did you happen to notice that I used the Stitched Duo 1 tag and window die? I think it looks so cute with this winter scene and the bunnies!

I mentioned my haul video at the beginning of this post, so I thought I would include it.

I couldn’t close this post until I shared a sneak peek with my blog readers. I shared this photo on my social media sites, but I know that some of you only follow my blog, so I didn’t want you to miss out. Here’s a peek at just a little bit of the new embellishment kit that’s releasing on October 1st.

That’s going to close out today’s post. Whew, there was all sorts of fun stuff in this post! What did you enjoy the most? The card, video, sneak peek? Let me know so I can be sure to keep on bringing more of what you love!


August 2014 Craft Haul

Better late than never, right? This month has flown by and I almost didn’t think I would get a chance to film my August haul. Yesterday I forced myself to take a break from filling orders and decided to craft, film and edit. Oh how I have missed doing these things!

I’m actually in the process of working on some Christmas projects and I cannot wait to show you. I have a super fun giveaway coming with a sponsor and then I’m working on prep for some behind-the-scenes things here. So many exciting things!

In case any of the items in the list look like something you might want to purchase, I have linked them up for you below.

That’s going to wrap up today’s post. I’m hoping to get one more post up for you later this week- a more personal one- but we’ll have to see how things go. I will for sure have two posts for you on Monday (I’m announcing a new design team member!) and then I’ll be concluding the Design Teams 101 series.

Have a fabulous rest of your day!

Pandas + Craft Haul

Happy Monday!

As we approach the end of the month, I wanted to make sure I shared my May Craft Haul video and post. One of the new stamp sets I purchased was the Mama Elephant Pandamonium. Truth be told, I kept taking this set in and out of my cart (since other items were higher on my list), but I finally decided to get it.

In today’s card, you may notice a few products that are new. I’m thrilled to say that these products will be in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop on June 1st. The design team and I are super ecstatic about these products and I have a feeling you will be too!

Pretty Pink Posh   I   Happy Pandas

I went the route of doing bold colors and I think it looks great with these pandas. I kept it simple as far as embellishments- the only one I added was some black twine. Since the background stood out so much and the pandas were the focus, I didn’t want to take away from that.

In this second picture, you may be able to spot the new products a little better. Do you see them? I can’t wait to read your guesses!

Okay, now onto the haul video…. You can view it here in this post, or you can CLICK HERE to view it on YouTube.


Thanks for stopping in and spending some of your Monday with me. I hope your week is off to a fantastic start!

April Craft Haul

Hello and Happy Saturday!

Today I have my April Craft Haul (Can you believe it? I didn’t wait until the last minute!). This month I decided to go a little outside my comfort zone and got a few products that I wouldn’t typically get. Any guesses what they might be?

Before you watch the video, I want to remind you that in ONE WEEK the Sequin Shaker Blog Hop starts. Starting on Monday, several different companies will be sharing inspiration featuring sequin shakers leading up to the big day. Are you ready? There’s going to be SO much inspiration and fun! I’m so excited and I hope you all are too!

Okay, now you all can go ahead and watch the haul video….

What craft purchases did you make this month? I want to hear….it might inspire me to purchase something next month!


Have a great weekend. Sending crafty hugs from Seattle!

March Craft Haul

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!

July Craft Haul + Giveaway Winner

As some of you know, I celebrated my birthday over the weekend. In between the craziness of moving at work, the new release, going back and forth with insurance and talking to doctors, on top of keeping up with the blog, I’ve been exhausted. Despite the various invitations to celebrate and have gatherings, I opted for a low-key day filled with Starbucks, catching up on emails and crafting and a nice, long nap. It was utter bliss!

One of the gifts that I received was an Ellen Hutson gift certificate from my thoughtful and generous aunt. I’ve been really good about cutting back on my spending, which has meant my wish list has gotten to be quite long. With the gift, I was able to cross off a lot of the items, which I’m so excited about. I filmed a quick video showcasing the items {see below} and I’m also linking to the items in this post.

Ellen Hutson I Freckled Fawn I Paper Sweeties

Last week I hosted the Fresh Summer Roses Giveaway and it’s time to announce the random lucky winner! Congratulations to Judy! I’ll be emailing you shortly to get your mailing info so I can get this set mailed off to you. solidrosewinner

Have you purchased anything craft related recently? Big or small hauls, I would love to read or see what you got. It’s always so fun when my friends post what they got on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve added items to my wish list after seeing my friends lists/ pictures!

That’s all for today’s post. I’ll be back tomorrow for the highlights post for the 10 Minute Craft Dash #21 and info on how to get a sneak peek at the new challenge. Hope to see you then!
