Today I wanted to announce two brand new Pretty Pink Posh designers to the team. Both of these gals have used my products on their creations for quite a long time and I’ve been fans of theirs for a long time. With two designers stepping down in roles, I knew exactly who I wanted to invite to the team. I was so thrilled that they both ecstatically accepted when I extended the invitation. Please join me in welcoming Heather and Lizto the Pretty Pink Posh team!
As I mentioned above, we have two designers stepping down from design team members BUT they’re still part of the Pretty Pink Posh family. Yoonsun and Nina-Marie are so very talented and I just couldn’t part with their talent. I decided to create a new position and they’ll be contributing designers, which means you’ll still see their work on a semi- regular basis.
In honor of this special day, and the fact that I love hosting giveaways, I’m offering up a $100 Pretty Pink Posh gift certificate! How can you win? Guess which designer made which card below. These cards can be found on their blog, so it won’t be too terribly hard to match them up.
From those who guess correctly, I’ll put them into a drawing and one lucky person will get a $100 shopping spree to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. Whether you want to catch up on previous releases, or want to get the new products that release this month, this will come in handy!
Comments must be left by January 9th to be qualified for the gift certificate. Winner will be announced next week.
I hope that you all have a great start to your new year and give the new and old designers a warm welcome! We’ll see you tomorrow for the new release!
Oh my, this weekend has been a whirlwind. I spent the last few days up until 3, 4 and 5 AM working on orders, finalizing details of the Watercolor Blog Hop and slowly getting things a little more organized in the studio. Slowly but surely, things are being crossed off the to-do list, which is always a good thing.
Over the weekend, Laura emailed me saying she needed to step down from the team due to her school schedule.As many of you know, she’s in her last year of high school, so school is super important. I am so sad she’s no longer part of the team, but I’m grateful for the time she was with us. I wish you all the best, Laura!
Today I wanted to announce the brand new Pretty Pink Posh designer. She is an amazing crafter that I’ve been admiring for quite some time and I am honored to have her joining our team. I love her beautiful crafting style, plus her videos are always so much fun to watch. Please join me in welcoming Carissa Wiley to the team!
In other news, today the gals over at CardMaker magazine are doing a mini blog hop featuring Pretty Pink Posh! I saw some of the cards and they are super creative. If you feel like a little Monday inspiration, visit their blogs:
To celebrate this mini hop, I’m hosting a giveaway that features some of my current favorites in the shop. (These are like my babies, it’s hard to pick a true favorite)
I hope that you all have a great start to your week! Thanks for spending some time with me today. I’ll be back later this week with some cards and blog hop winners!
I’ve been holding onto several secrets lately and I’m so very excited that I can share one (or rather three) of them today. It’s no secret that a huge part of having a successful online craft business is to have a talented team to help promote and inspire the use of your products.
These days, I don’t hop around blogs as nearly as much as I used to, but I’m still always on the lookout for up and coming talent. Whether it be designers I find on Instagram or Pinterest, or customers who use my products on a regular basis, I’m constantly keeping my eyes open. (This is my HUGE encouragement to keep posting your creations- I see a lot more of your blogs and creations than you think!)
In honor of this special day, and the fact that I love hosting giveaways, I’m offering up a $50 Pretty Pink Posh gift certificate! How can you win? Guess which designer made which card below. These cards can be found on their blog AND they just might be giving you a hint as to which one is theirs.
From those who guess correctly, I’ll put them into a drawing and one lucky person will get a $50 shopping spree to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. Whether you want to catch up on previous releases, or want to hold out until the new products next month, this will come in handy!
Happy guessing! I’ll see you tomorrow for the new release!
It’s the first of the month and typically, I release new products on this day. With the craziness of planning the Cutting Edge Blog Hop, planning some top secret collaborations and then designing new products, I decided I would take this month off from releasing anything new.
That’s GOOD NEWS for many of you- that means your wallet can take a mini break. For those who have been wanting to purchase any of the PPP dies or sequins, I recently added more stock to the store and I’ll also be getting a HUGE shipment of sequins within the next few weeks. I plan on stocking the store up to the brim, along with adding some new sequin colors and mixes in October!
Don’t worry, I still have something fun to share with you all today. I’m so honored to announce that I am adding a new designer to the Pretty Pink Posh team. She was recently one of my special guests and I loved her work/ videos so much, I just had to add her to the team! Please welcome the talented, sweet and YouTube extraordinaire Nichol Magouirk!

Thank you all for your excitement. I’ll be back in a little bit with the last installment of the Design Teams 101 series. Happy guessing!
Six months ago today I officially opened up the Pretty Pink Posh Shop! It’s been a CRAZY rollercoaster of a ride thus far and I can say for certain that even more exciting things are coming in the future.
I am so blessed to have an amazing design team and with the growth these last six months, I wanted to add a few more talented ladies to the design team. You’ll recognize these ladies…they have been using my products so beautifully and because of their samples, I just had to add them to the team officially!
Please join me in giving a warm welcome to these new designers….
I am so honored to be a part of the Pretty Pink Posh design team! When I create, I find that adding those tiny embellishments such as twine or sequins make the perfect addition to my card or project. I’m excited for what Paulina has to offer and what new things are coming!!
I’m a wife, mom of 2, and full time dialysis RN living in Kansas. I have enjoyed papercrafting of all kinds since I started but it’s the cardmaking that has captured my heart!! I love to create cards and am a very late night crafter. I enjoy adding embellishments to give an otherwise CAS card some wow factor. I can’t wait to show you how!
My name is Gayatri Murali also known as scrapawayg3 at various galleries. I am a therapist by profession but chose to be a stay at home mom to my children. I live in Perth, Australia with my husband, two teen children and my dog. I have been papercrafting for the past 10 years.
My style is clean simple, bold and bright especially, graphic designs with a technique or two. Trends inspire me a lot. You can see a lot of trendy stuff on my cards. Accenting with embellishments adds diemension, texture and completes my cards. So I love embellishments especially sequins and coloured twine.
If you have been following my work, you will know that I am a big fan of Pretty Pink Posh’s sequins. Many of my cards are not complete without PPP sequins. That is how much I love them. I am thrilled to design for Pretty Pink Posh and thank you for giving me the opportunity, Paulina. Looking forward to share my projects using PPP embellishments.
Hi! My name is Laura Sterckx and I’m 17 years old. I live in Belgium with my parents, my doggy Jinny and my crazy canary. In 2010 I discovered cardmaking trough one of Kristina Werner’s old Finally Friday videos. Immediately after that, I started to build my own cardmaking stash and joined the craft blogging community.
Whenever I feel like a card misses something, I reach out to my box of embellishments (mostly sequins!) and I add a couple of them. I LOVE that something so small can make such a big difference! :)
If you’re new to my company or blog, you may not have seen the DT announcement I made previously. I introduced five amazingly talented gals to my team and I am SO honored that they are all staying and joining me for this next term. I have exciting things planned and I know these gals will continue to inspire you with their unique crafting styles and creations.
In honor of this happy day, I wanted to do a giveaway! The DT and I chose our favorite sequins and I’ll be giving away one set to one lucky person!

I will be back tomorrow with samples, a video and the newest products will be available! If you missed the news on what it is, CLICK HERE to watch the video (it’s at the very end). I hope you all are as excited about these items as I am…. see you then!
This little dream of mine became a reality a month ago and I had no idea how quickly word about my shop would spread. It’s exciting when others share in your excitement and seeing products from your “little dream” being shipped all around the world. I must say, shipping orders to France, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom is beyond crazy and amazing.
Today is a big day because I am revealing the very first design team for the Pretty Pink Posh Shop! I personally get so inspired when I see what others create using specific products (And let’s be honest, we buy products when we see how products are actually used). The next step for the shop was to have a design team, so I searched high and low and put together a wonderfully talented and sweet group of ladies.
I am beyond thrilled to present you with my very team. Get to know them and be sure to hop on over to their blogs- a few of them have samples to share with you today!
How exciting to be part of the inaugural Pretty Pink Posh design team! Paulina has created a store with all the things I LOVE…sequins, confetti, twine…embellishments of all sorts!
I’m a wife, mom of three, and special education teacher living in rural Illinois. I have a passion for paper-crafting and am known to get lost in my craft cave! I think my first love of embellishments started when I was a little girl sorting through my Great Grandmother’s button tin…lots of beautiful vintage and antique buttons!
I can’t wait to share Pretty Pink Posh inspiration and projects with you! In the meanwhile, I’d love for you to visit my blog, Stacey’s Stamping Stage!
Hi, I’m Joni.I have been scrapbooking since my daughter was born, but my first love is really making cards for friends and family. I discovered blogging 3 years ago but did not really start my own until the year of 2012. I love to create simple cards and most of the time I love to add layers and embellishments on my craft. Adding embellishments on your projects makes it more special and makes your projects truly yours. I am so excited and honored to be part of the Pretty Pink Posh Design Team. I hope I will get to inspire you using different embellishments to your projects.
First let me say, I am excited and honored to be joining the Pretty Pink Posh Design Team! I’m so grateful for this wonderful opportunity!
I’m a wife and mom living in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I love nature and being organized, VERY organized. I often say, “I live my life like I make my cards, clean & simple”. Not much fuss here, I have a very less is more style all around. The secret to CAS stamping is all in the details, a perfectly placed sequin or star can take a design to a whole new level. I hope I inspire you and give you ideas on how to use embellishments to enhance your designs! When I’m not stamping, you can find me cleaning (haha), hiking with my family, doing Tae Kwon Do with my oldest son (we just received our brown belts!) or snuggled up with my iPad watching Netfilx.
Hi I’m Lisa! A former floral designer/instructor, now stay at home wife to the love of my life! We live in Ohio and are blessed with an amazing son and daughter-in-law. I’m also the proud mama of a sweet mini-schnauzer, Max!
My blogging journey began in April of 2011. I liken my card making to my floral design background. I feel I can go from a clean and simple card (bud vase) to a fussy shabby chic design (victorian tussie mussie) in the blink of an eye. I think my true style falls somewhere in the middle! To me, a card just isn’t complete without a sprinkle of sparkling embellishments!
My name is Leigh Penner and I am a wife & mother to three children. We live in Southern Manitoba, Canada, where I work as a substitute teacher. I have been scrapbooking for over 10 years and stamping/cardmaking for three. I love using pretty things on my layouts and cards, which means that I have a fondness for embellishments…. they’re so fun to play with and can often add the perfect finishing touch to a project!
I hope that you enjoyed getting to know these five gals. I have loved getting to know them these last few weeks and I know you will love them, too! Each of these gals will be posting all sorts of inspiration with my products these next few months and we have plans for something coming up soon.
I’ll be back in a little bit with a post showcasing some of the new products, along with a video. Stay tuned!
I’m so excited the day is finally here- it’s time to announce the very first 10 Minute Craft Dash DT! I was so blown away by the amount of entries and the vast range of locations- I literally received applications all over the world!
I wanted to stick with a fairly small DT and I was able to narrow it down to six designers. Since I personally haven’t had the privilege of working with designers from numerous continents, I thought it would be fun to create a map to show all of the different locations. {Thank goodness for Google- my geography isn’t what it should be!}
I hope you all are ready to meet these amazing and talented gals. Below are some fun questions to get to know them a bit and if you click their pictures, you’ll be taken to their blogs. PLEASE be sure to visit and leave them some love!
