Hero Arts August Kit Blog Hop

Good morning my sparkly Pretty Pink Posh friends!

Heather here to share a couple cards using the brand new Hero Arts August My Monthly Hero Box – featuring some Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Droplets – such a fun addition to this kit! We are really excited to be part of their kit this month and also part of their blog hop.

Pretty Pink Posh: Hero Arts August Kit Blog Hop

This is such a unique kit – I felt like it was very fresh and different than anything else I’ve been seeing around lately – I started off by putting together a shaker card filled with those Clear Droplets.

I die cut the Fancy Frame Die Set without the matching oval die, then blending on distress ink in two shades of green. I also stamped several of the little mushrooms and fern pieces in white pigment ink and the same two distress ink colors on the bottom, and added the sparkle star stamped several times in white around the rest of the outside.

The inside of the shaker card is two shades of yellow distress ink on watercolor paper, some water flicked on, and some white paint splattered over that.

I stamped and colored the fairy, die cut with the coordinating dies, and then added the included Clear Stickles on the wings, dress, and on selected areas around the frame – the leaves, and some of the stamped images on the bottom, then filled my shaker with lots of the clear droplets!

Next up I made a more flat one layer card using some of the papers that came in the kit, and using the clear droplets as embellishments on the front of the card.

This fairy was colored to match the purple papers in the pack, and also sparkled up the dress and wings.

This time I used the frame with the matching oval die, then used the oval die on it’s own to cut the translucent woodgrain paper for the back of it. Hard to see in the photos, but you can actually see through it a little to see the pattern paper underneath.

The sentiment was heat embossed on black cardstock, and the clear droplets glue on just perfectly with a drop of Glossy Accents.

Here is a look at what the complete kit looks like.

The kit contains:

A 4×6 clear stamp set

Three matching Frame Cuts dies

An oval border with frame Fancy Die set

Pretty Pink Posh Droplets

Ranger Star Dust Stickles

Three ink cubes in Bubble Gum, Orchid and Green Apple

Woodgrain Cardstock and Vellum

Other gems and cardstock

The kit value is over $50, and they are selling this one for $34.99.

Prizes: Hero Arts is giving away one kit as a prize to one blog reader – selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop. Be sure to hop along and leave comments on all the stops!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

I honestly wish I could write a personal thank you to note to each and every one of my readers, customers and supporters. I would not be where I am- with the Pretty Pink Posh Shop, my journey to find a new “normal” since the accident, and a plethora of other opportunities had it not be for you. I am amazed at how far this blog has come and the amazing friendships I have made writing on this little part of the internet.

Today I’m recycling an old card I made…I hope you don’t mind. It features all sorts of Thanksgiving goodness, PLUS, it’s one of the rare times I feature my 6mm flat sequins! For those who enjoy sequins, but don’t want to add bulkiness to your cards, this is the perfect way to achieve that!

I am in love with the little jingle bells that I have in the shop and I think adding 1, 2, 3 or more to a card makes it a little more festive. Plus, it’s hard to pass up the sound of the little jingles.

For those who love a good sale, my friends at DeNami Design are doing 20% off ALL STAMPS until November 30, 2014. I’m a big fan of wood mounted stamps (after all, these are what got me into stamping) and there are tons of super cute designs there. Today’s leaves and houndstooth background are by DeNami, along with all the stamps in the cards below.

I truly hope you all have a wonderful day, whether it be with family, friends or your craft supplies. I know we all face challenges and battles, but I hope that we can all stop and soak in all that we have to be grateful for.

Sending big giant hugs to each of you who continue to encourage, support and spread love to me. I am so very grateful for you.

Does anyone else feel like companies are upping up their game and releasing even more amazing products?

This month I have a little mixture of stamp sets, inks and products and I have to confess, some of them are on their way to me right this moment. In fact, they should be here today! See? I couldn’t just keep these items in my cart, I had to checkout! Goodness gracious….I think I need a blindfold….or more self control.

On the Wish List- July Edition

Is anyone else in shock that today is the last day of July? While this month hasn’t gone how I thought it would, it still has flown by quickly. After planning for months the big 10 Minute Craft Dash Birthday Bash celebration, it’s amazing it’s just a week away!

I’m excited to spill a little more info on the birthday bash…. we will have one giant prize for the winner of the challenge- the retail value is well over $150! Every post between now and the day the challenge goes live will have some more nuggets of info. Stay tuned!

Last month, I did the first On the Wish List feature that was well received and I’m bringing a new edition this month. With some birthday money this month, I was able to cross a few things off of my wish list from last month {which was in THIS haul post}. I’m happy that I’ve been able to inspire some of you with these posts and hopefully once things settle a little more, I can start playing with the items and do some more videos!

This list is shorter than the last one and I was tempted to put in a few non-craft related items. Would you be interested in seeing those also? Example: I’ve been eying these TOMS for months and months now, but didn’t know if any of you would care to see that listed! *wink*

Sweet readers, I’m curious, what’s on YOUR wish list at the moment?

I am all about sharing the savings with my readers and just this week, Ellen Hutson posted a 20% off savings coupon for items that are in stock. With me posting these items today, I thought you might be in the mood to do some shopping. If you haven’t shopped with Ellen Hutson before, you are missing out. These gals have amazing customer service, I love their selection of products and honestly, supporting a small business in the city next to mine is a plus in my book.

*I want to note that I’m an Ellen Hutson affiliate, but only because I adore them so much. Any products purchased through the links I have listed, or the EH sidebar ad on my site, will provide me with a small commission which in turn helps keep this site running and also helps me provide giveaways & prizes. If you plan on doing any EH orders now or in the future, feel free to use my link! :)
