Christmas Theme & Giveaway Week- Day 3

Christmas Theme & Giveaway Week- Day 3

Hi friends! Lisa here today with a frosty card made with Winter Wonderland Stamps and Dies. This card came together quickly and would be easy to mass produce!

Christmas Theme & Giveaway Week- Day 3I began by die cutting My Mind’s Eye Sugar Plum paper with the wavy die from the Scallop Borders set. Next it was adhered to my card base with the coordinating stripe paper.

Now comes the fun! I stamped and die cut the Eskimo girl, igloo and a trio of snowflakes. She’s colored with Copics and a slight bit of gray shading was done on the igloo. An extra igloo door was stamped and fussy cut then added to the igloo with foam tape.

To bring in more sparkle, I used Frosted Lace Stickles on the hood. The Iridescent Mini Circle Confetti worked perfectly for snowy accents!

We’re continuing on with our week of giveaways and today we are giving away a $50 Ellen Hutson gift certificate. It’s super easy all you have to do is leave a comment sharing which craft item(s) are on your wish list!

Christmas Theme & Giveaway Week- Day 1

Christmas Theme & Giveaway Week- Day 1

Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and I have an interactive Christmas card to share featuring the Winter Wonderland stamp set and wobble springs. Plus, this post kicks off our Christmas Theme and Giveaway Week!

Christmas Theme & Giveaway Week- Day 1

Wobble springs are something new and very exciting you can now find in Pretty Pink Posh store. And just in time for the Holidays, too! I was very excited to get my hands on these and I can’t wait to share a card I made using them.

In case you don’t know what wobble spring is, it’s a little plastic spring that attaches with one end to the card base (or anything else; thank tags, gift bags etc) and with another end to an object and provides that object with movement when touched. It is super fun to play with, even for adults – it’s mesmerizing in a way and addictive I’d say.

Christmas Theme & Giveaway Week- Day 1

The element that wobbles on my card today is the igloo and a little penguin. The spring is hidden behind both of these and adds movement to both objects. To embellish the card, I added 4mm Clear Droplets and 6mm Clear Droplets, which are one of my favorite finishing touches.

Thanksgiving Theme Week- Day 7 (Plus Giveaway!)

Thanksgiving Theme Week- Day 7 (Plus Giveaway!)

Hi there, Jeanne here. Have you noticed? The leaves are changing colors and there’s a crispness in the air!  Fall is officially here! It’s that special time of year when we take the festivities indoors and welcome family and friends into our homes and hearts.

Pretty Pink Posh: Thanksgiving Theme Week- Day 7 (Plus Giveaway!)

Thanksgiving is always at our house – we have as many people as we can fit around the table and there’s always great food and conversation! I like to send out personal invitations, and special notes to those who can’t make it this time… just to let them know we’re thinking about them as we’re separated by the miles.

Pretty Pink Posh: Thanksgiving Theme Week- Day 7 (Plus Giveaway!)

I’m smitten with these adorable pilgrims from the Giving Thanks Stamp Set.  The set has lots of extras – pumpkins, leaves, and sentiments in the prettiest script font. There’s even a Giving Thanks coordinating die set that has a stamp for each of the images in the set making crafting a breeze!

Pretty Pink Posh: Thanksgiving Theme Week- Day 7 (Plus Giveaway!)

I created a scene inside a Scallop Circles die – this is the larger of the two circles in the set.  It’s perfect for an A2 size card (4.25 x 5.5”).   Scalloped on the inside and beautiful stitching on the outer edges, these Scallop Circles make everything just a little more elegant! Landscapes couldn’t be easier using the border dies from Pretty Pink Posh. There’s lots of different style borders to choose from. I chose the Scallop Borders Die Set.  They coordinate perfectly with the Scallop Circles!

Pretty Pink Posh: Thanksgiving Theme Week- Day 7 (Plus Giveaway!)

The finishing touch was a sprinkle of Sparkling Clear Sequins – who doesn’t love a little shimmer?

New Designers + Big Giveaway

I wanted to announce the new team for this upcoming design term. I have been so blessed by amazing designers the last two years and as seasons change, sometimes it’s necessary to change things up in a team as well. We are saying a very fond farewell to Nichol and Yuki, but fear not, they’ll be joining us in guest positions occasionally!

Today I wanted to announce three brand new Pretty Pink Posh designers to the team. Each of these gals have used my products on their creations for quite a long time and I am thrilled to have them on the team! Please join me in welcoming Amy L., Joy and Melody to the Pretty Pink Posh team!

Pearlized Watercolors + Giveaway

pearlized

Hello friends! It’s Nina-Marie here with you today and I have a video tutorial to share with you showing how to create pearlized watercolor effects using Zig Clean Color markers and the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors watercolor palette. I’ll also be using a few Pretty Pink Posh products as well and I think you’re going to really enjoy today’s post… so let’s get started!

Pearlized Watercoloring with Zig Markers_4

Pearlized Watercoloring with Zig Markers_3

For those of you unfamiliar with this product, the Starry Colors watercolors are a pearl-tinted palette that has a collection of six different gold, water-based pigments. I wanted to use these with my Zig Clean Color markers to create a pearlized effect and the result is stunning! Pictures don’t really do the intense shimmer justice; in real life the shimmer is incredible!

Pearlized Watercoloring with Zig Markers_6

The stamped images I used for this card are from Mama Elephant’s Freestyle Florals stamp set. The style of these images lend perfectly to the artistic style of watercoloring I did. I also used Pretty Pink Posh’s Storybook 2 die, Clear Droplets and Birdie Friends stamp set.

Pearlized Watercoloring with Zig Markers_1

The video I created goes into all the details about the process of creating the pearlized watercolor effect, as well as how I put the entire card together, so I encourage you to check it out! If you enjoy, please give the video a big thumbs up and subscribe to our channel for more inspiration!

Our new release is right around the corner, but before we really dive into sneak peeks and the excitement, I wanted to announce four brand new designers joining the Pretty Pink Posh team! All of these gals have used my products on their creations for some time, some have been guest designers, but each one of them are so uniquely talented and their style of crafting so inspiring. I have been long-time fans of each of them and I am so thrilled to have them all joining the team.

Please join me in welcoming Jeanne, Shannon, Vera and Yana!

One question I get often from readers, “How do companies choose designers?”.  Good news! A while back I did a series and had some fabulous input from other companies in the industry like Mama Elephant, Winnie & Walter, Lawn Fawn and more! Want to read the five part series? CLICK HERE or click on the graphic below.

Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Celebration- Day 3

Pretty Pink Posh

Hello and welcome to the last day of the 2nd birthday celebration!

Before I start with today’s post, I just have to say a truly heartfelt thank you. I have never received this many orders in such a short amount of time in the two years I’ve been in business. As many of you know, I’m a one woman business, so I’m working as quickly as I can to get all of your orders sent off. There’s a holiday on Monday, so that’ll allow me one extra day to get things packaged up for when the post office opens on Tuesday.

Today one the new PPP designers, Liz, has this darling card to share using several Pretty Pink Posh products. She used the dog from the Holiday Pals set and made him look oh-so-cute on this birthday shaker card. Just look at the little bow tie and hat!

Pretty Pink Posh

For the focal piece, Liz used the popular Stitched Banner Duo 2 die set to create the shaker part of her card and filled it with the 4mm Sweetheart Mix. These colors work so well with the red card base and the pink panel on the front. To finish off the card, she used the Twine and Bows die set– a must have for all crafters! It gives the illusion of twine without the fuss and bulkiness.

You could create the exact same card with more neutral or boy themed colors. Imagine the new Share Kindness Mix of colors on this card- that would be adorable for this card design!
