Product Release Blog Hop- Day 1

Hello, sweet friends!

It’s time for our two day Product Release Blog Hop for the March 2017 release. Many of you have already placed orders, but for those who were wanting for more inspiration, today and tomorrow the design team and special guests have all sorts of inspiration to share!

Today’s cute creations were made by Suzy, one of our newest designers. She has a knack for creating vibrant creations and her coloring skills are amazing!

My first project uses the Easter Friends Stamp and Die Set along with the new Scallop Squares Tag Dies. I watercolored the larger tag with a soft blend of pastel colors.

I stamped the images with a natural color ink and watercolored each image. I then added details and outlines with glitter pens and a White Uniball marker. I added some lavender sequins from the 4mm and 6mm Fresh Garden Sequin Mixes. The For You sentiment is from the Everyday Greetings Stamp Set. I punched a hole in the top of the tag and tied some pink twine in the opening. This tag would be really cute tied to an Easter basket.

This pocket card uses the Easter Friends Stamp Set and Die Set. I used one of the brand new die sets for the background called Stitched Notes Dies. I watercolored the outside of the die-cut border with yellow watercolors and the inside of the frame with pink watercolors. I die-cut the stitched pocket in the center of the inside piece and added a small pocket to the top left.

I stamped all of the images with a natural color ink and watercolored them. I outlined them and added details to them with glitter pens. I added some sequins to the bottom of the card using the 4mm and 6mm Fresh Garden Sequin Mixes. I tucked a $20 bill into the pocket of the card so it can be used as an Easter gift.

For those joining us for the blog hop, I wanted to let you know that this month we have a special gift offer for orders over $80! The Bee Friends stamp set will be automatically sent with orders over $80 this month. In addition, if your order totals over $125, you’ll get the coordinating dies too! This stamp set will be available for purchase in May 2017, but for those who qualify, you’ll get these items two months before anyone else! These are while supplies last (I did order quite a bit, but cannot guarantee they will last through the end of the month).

Ready to hop along and see LOTS more fabulous inspiration with this release?

Creating A Scene with Clarity Brushes + Video

Hello everyone, Eloise here and I have a video showcasing a couple of the brand new products that released on March 1st.  I’m using the new Friends Forever stamp set along with the Stitched Notes die set for my card today.

To begin my card I stamped out some of the new images from the Friends Forever stamp set on some Copic Marker friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then used various colours of Copic Markers and coloured all my images, then used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. Once my images were coloured in I could work on my background. I die cut two panels using the rectangle die from the Stitched Notes die set out of some watercolour paper. I then used the older Stitched Borders 1 dies and cut the curved die out of one of the pieces, to resemble a grassy hill.

Now my pieces were ready to go I pulled out my Clarity Stencil Brushes and a few Distress Ink colours, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn for the grassy hill and Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber for the sunrays. I first coloured my grassy hill with the greens, I just brushed the colour on, going back and forth horizontally across the card to get a nice blend. Once I did both colours I set it aside and moved onto my sunrays. I used a Tim Holtz stencil for this, I could have used masking tape to mask the rays off, but the stencil was easier.  I did the same thing with the brushes for the stencil, instead I moved my brush vertically up and down the stencil a lot more than horizontally, since that’s the way the stencil openings go. Once both pieces were done I could assemble.

I adhered a blue piece of cardstock to my card base, and then I used some fun foam to adhere my sunrays panel. Before I added my grassy hill on top I stamped down the ‘You’re my Favorite’ sentiment on top with black ink. I then added the grassy panel with foam tape and added my absolutely adorable coloured images on as well. This set is so adorable, it’s insane! Once all my images were added and my scene was complete, I added some 4MM, 6MM and 8MM Sparkling Clear Sequins to finish off my card.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and have already purchased some of the new release! You guys are absolutely going to love the new products Paulina has designed, they’re so much fun!

Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll catch you next time.

The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge Blog Hop

Welcome to “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” Blog Hop! Kathy Raccoosin from The Daily Marker has arranged this hop to share with you her love of coloring! And I am so happy to be a guest on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today to share with you MY love of coloring!

The premise of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is to color something everyday even if it’s for five minutes. (However feel free to  jump in or out as time permits). Any coloring medium is welcomed. Click here to find out where to share what you are coloring and join the encouraging community of happy colorists PLUS answers to other questions you may have.

So now let’s get started with some cards that will be showing my favorite coloring technique using some of the brand new adorable Pretty Pink Posh products (just released yesterday!). On each of my projects, I stamped the PPP images with a natural color ink and then colored them with either Copic markers or watercolor paints. This is referred to as no-line stamping. After they were colored, I outlined each part of the image and added details to the images with gel/glitter pens.

If you are coming from the Purple Onion blog, you are in the right place.  If you get lost along the way, visit Kathy’s blog for the full list of blog hop stops.

This card uses the PPP stamp set called Bee Friends that comes free with a $80 purchase in March 2017, while supplies last. I made the background of the card with the Mini Storybook 1 Die. I watercolored it with greens and blues and then splattered it with water and paint drops while it was wet to give it a mottled look.

This shaker card uses the Friends Forever Stamp and coordinating dies. I die-cut the opening in the background using the Window Frames Dies. I watercolored the background with turquoise watercolor and then splattered it with water while wet to leave splotches. I attached a transparency to the backside of the opening and then put foam tape on the back of this piece. I attached it to a card base and used two types of sequins inside the shaker: the Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix and the Sparkling Clear Stars Sequins.

I stamped each of the images with a natural color of ink. I then colored them with Copic Markers. I outlined them and added details with glitter pens and a white Uniball marker. I added Glossy Accents to the top of the balloons to give them sheen! I used the Everyday Greetings Stamp Set for the salutation with red embossing powder. I added some more of the Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

I hope these projects motivate you to get out your stamps and coloring tools and have some fun coloring! The next person on the hop is Honey Bee Stamps. Keep following along the hop as you will find lots of giveways along the way! A full list of all the winners will be announced on The Daily Marker Blog on Sunday, March 12th.

I hope you will all join in the fun this month by trying to color something every single day. Visit Kathy’s blog to get details about how to share your creations and to find out about all the fun activities she has in store for us throughout the month.

Thanks so much for visiting the Pretty Pink Posh Blog today!

March 2017 Release Now Available

Hi Pretty Pink Posh friends! Shannon here today! So happy to join you to share a card featuring some of the yummy new products from the March release that went live today! Before we get to the card, here’s a video that Eloise filmed showcasing all of the new products.

Watch the video above   I   Watch the video in HD on YouTube  

 

Okay, now back to the card… today’s card features the Easter Blessings and Everyday Greetings stamp sets along with the Scallop Square Tags dies.

For my card I started off with an A2 sized white card base and stamped flowers in grey ink as my background. I also stamped them once a separate piece of white card stock, colored in with Copic markers and fussy cut out. I die cut the smaller scallop square with blue card stock and adhered onto my card along with my cut out flowers on top. I stamped my sentiment and finished my card off with Sparkling Clear sequins!

That’s it for my card today, it was fairly quick and simple to create and i just love the scallop square with the flower pot!

Thank you so much for joining me today. Be sure to visit the Pretty Pink Posh Shop to view all of the new products!

I have it all nestled on a die from one of the new sets, and layered on some plaid pattern paper, with a layer of vellum underneath that is also die cut with the new Scallop Square Tags. And then – I added some fabulous new embellishments! A mix of sizes of Sparkling Clear Confetti – and a few tiny Spring Green Seed Beads that perfectly matched my pattern paper!

Sneak Peek: Easter Friends

Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and I’m excited to share a card using one of newest stamp sets – Easter Friends (releases on March 1st)!

I did quite a bit of watercoloring to create this project. First, I started by painting a plaid watercolor background using Gansai Tambi watercolors (colors I used are #34 pink, #40 yellow, #20 black and #10 white) and Arches Rough watercolor paper.

I also used flat ¾”, ½” ⅜” brushes. I find it much easier to paint plaid backgrounds using flat brushes, although this can be done using a regular round brush. I also used a #4 round brush to add white stripes at the very end. Remember to dry your paper in between each layer of stripes when creating this kind of background.

Watercolors were also used to color my stamped images – bunny as well as a boy and girl dressed in bunny costumes. Whenever I color small images like these I prefer to use watercolor pencils as this way I have a lot more control over where, how and how much color I am adding. I used Faber Castell watercolor pencils in gray (silver), pink, yellow and gold. My images were stamped onto Arches Hot Press watercolor paper which has a nice smooth finish to it and is ideal for watercoloring images that are stamped.

I cut bunny image out using a coordinating die and foam mounted him onto my character panel. I also added several die cut easter eggs (I used a coordinating easter egg die and cut images out of my test plaid watercolor background, I didn’t use a stamp image that goes with it, although you can if you want to).

Finally I embellished my card using Friendship sequin mix. This is limited edition mix, a portion of the profits made from selling this mix in March 2017 will be donated to a cause.

Watch my video tutorial below to learn how I made this card.

Happy cardmaking!

Sneak Peek: Friends Forever

Hello everyone, Joni here sharing some peeks of products that are coming your way on March 1st! For this project, I used the new upcoming Friends Forever set and Stitched Notes die set, along with some new embellishments.

To begin I colored the cute little people on this set, but created another girl on the bunch. Then I fussy cut each one, to complement the one I added on the group.

Here, how this cute boy made into a girl. Using the Farber Castell Fine tip pen in black,  I added a pony tail on the boy on the left to make a girl look. You can also try different variety of hair dos.

Next, I die-cut the panel I distressed using Distress inks in Tattered Rose, Scattered Straw and Peacock Feathers. I used the large frame and the pocket die outside the card.

For the pocket, I adhered the girl behind the pocket die and added some foam tape for dimension. The sentiment was also from the same set Friends Forever stamp set.

To finish off the card, I added some splatter of gold watercolor paint from Gansai Tambi Starry Colors and also used the new Sparkling Clear Stars and Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

On the Stitched Notes dies set there are two stitched note elements that you can use outside or inside of your card. I just want to show you the quick difference, the longer stitched note element on the left you can use it more on a horizontal card because its longer in cut. The one on the right is much shorter but taller for vertical aspect of the card. Really neat element on the left I added a small note for the card and on the right I added a money for monetary, but you can use it on other things that you can think of.

Here’s another look of my card.

I hope you enjoyed these cool products coming your way, I cannot wait to see what you do with them.  Be sure to stop by tomorrow as we’ll be sharing more new products.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Sneak Peek: Easter Blessings

Hello, Jeanne here today sharing inspiration using the new Easter Blessings stamp set (releasing on March 1st)!

This is a three piece 3 x 4 stamp set  with coordinating die cuts. Being a Christian, Easter is a time of rebirth. This simple cross image with intertwined vines is a reminder that old things have passed away and that all things become new.

As a child I was always happy to see Lent end – it meant we could again indulge in the things we “gave up” and abstained from. Most of the time this was candy and sweets – a difficult for a child. Easter Day was always a celebration – my sisters and I would receive new dresses with matching bonnets, gloves and purses to wear to church.

I made a simple color block background from strips of colorful card stock cut with the solid stitched border from Stitched Borders 3.   I started with the two strips that form a “T” (the pink and blue) and then added the others alternating pastel colors.   Does it remind you of a basket?

I altered the sentiment to remove the word “Easter”.  I think this card would be perfect for Baptism, Communion or Confirmation.  I simply put a piece of tape over the part of the stamp I didn’t want to ink (the word “Easter”), inked the stamp, removed the tape and then stamped the sentiment.

The Scallop Oval Dies make a beautiful setting for the cross, and don’t cover up the colorful background.

The finishing touch?  A few pretty Pink Blush sequins of course!  They make everything better!

We hope that you enjoyed today’s sneak peek of the new Easter Blessings set. Join us tomorrow as we reveal another stamp set!
