Pretty Pink Posh Shop

New Products + Giveaway

Hello, sweet blog friends!

Today in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop, there are several new products available and one of them is a new embellishment kit. After considering several options, I decided to put together a guy themed kit filled with lots of items that can be used for guy cards. I don’t know about you, but I always have a hard time with these, so this kit takes the guess work out of it.

Do you recognize the layout of this card? I used it HERE last month and just changed out the colors and used products from the new kit. Isn’t it neat how the same layout can look different?

Pretty Pink Posh

For this card I used the DeNami Design Little Fawn and Woodland Logs set, along with the Grass Border die and trees from the Happy Trails die set (see, you don’t need to use the stamps with it!).

I have filmed a video showcasing the new products and you also get to see exactly what’s included in the Nature Embellishment Kit. The more I play with the kit, the more I’m falling in LOVE!

Due to the popularity of the last few kits, I have made a larger batch this time around. I’m hoping you all will love it enough to where it will sell out. If so, I’ll restock! Each kit is only $14 and make GREAT gifts!

Easter Chicks + More Kits!

Is anyone else looking forward to Spring and Easter? I love everything about this time of year (well, not the rain… we get a lot of it here in Seattle!), but I DO love the flowers that bloom because of the rain. Flowers and I go hand-in-hand; I’m a sucker for fresh cut flowers and how they brighten up my studio.

For those who watched my March New Products video, you’ll recognize this card. I used the Springtime Sequin Mix for this card and love how the colors and those mini flower sequins complements the card. I think the Easter eggs with the sequins added in look adorable, don’t you?

I get a lot of questions asking how I adhere my sequins and I personally like Crystal Lacquer or Medium Matte. These both hold the sequins well and with the small application holes, it doesn’t get too messy.

excitingnewsOkay, now onto how you can purchase one of the SOLD OUT Springtime Embellishment Kits. I have 8 kits available and if you would like to purchase one, leave a comment with your name, state/country and quantity you would like. I’ll send Paypal invoices to those who leave a comment before they sell out. Then once these are gone I have no more.

NOTE: I’m sold out of the Springtime Mix of the cupped option and don’t know when I’ll be able to make more since my supplier is sold out of one of the colors….. Once I have them back in stock, I’ll definitely be posting it on the Pretty Pink Posh Facebook page. In the meantime, I do have the flat version available.

That’s going to wrap up this post. If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to the blog posts via email so you don’t miss anything. Coming April 1st, I’ll have a post packed full of news, new products and more- only 15 days away!

Fuzzy Friends Blog Hop

Hello, sweet blog friends!

It’s time for the monthly DeNami blog hop and the theme this month is: Fuzzy Friends. You all know I’m a sucker for cute critters and it was so hard to decide which animal I wanted to feature.  Ultimately, I decided on the new fox- he was begging to be used. *wink*

If you started the hop from the beginning, you should be coming from adorable Leah’s post. This sweetie pie is so talented and I always get excited when she signs up for the hops. If you get lost along the way, head on over to the DeNami blog for the complete list of participants.

Pretty Pink Posh I Fuzzy Friends

For my card I pulled out the new Woodland Mushrooms, Little Fox and the hello (from the Assorted Greetings set). I have been loving my new Springtime Mix of sequins and that helped me pick the colors for this card. You really can’t go wrong with aqua, pink, light yellow and mint green!

It’s been a while since I pulled out my picket fence border punch,  so I thought that might be a nice addition with my newly purchased grass border die. LOVE it!

Pretty Pink Posh I Fuzzy Friends

 

Well, it’s time for you to hop on over to the next stop: Melissa Chipperfield’s blog! Be sure to leave comments on each stop- we’re giving away DeNami gift certificates and with the birthday celebration savings, that will go even further!

Have a wonderful rest of your Sunday. Thanks for stopping by!


New Products + GIVEAWAY

Today is the day many of you have been counting down to- it’s time to release the new embellishment kit and some new products in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop!  I’ve been doing sneak peeks of the new mix these last few weeks on Instagram and now it’s available (both in cupped and flat sequins).

I am biased, but I truly do think my sequins are some of the best available. While I love all of my sequin colors individually, there’s something about putting together mixes that is therapeutic. With spring right around the corner, I just couldn’t resist doing a spring mix and spring embellishment kit.

I’ve been a busy bee packaging orders and sequins lately, so crafting time has been very little. The other day, creativity struck and when that happens for me, I have to take advantage of it and make something. This card was the result and I must say, now I want a sequin garland…. (these sequins are from the new Springtime Mix)

Pretty Pink Posh I Elephants

I used the Lawn Fawn Love You Tons set and the Love You Tons dies for this card and am in love with these cute guys! For the sentiment, I used the “hello” from the Into the Woods set and think it goes perfectly with this card. What do you all think?

Other supplies: Femme Frames die set // Copic Markers // Tide Pool & Ultra Pink ink // Teeny Heart Background

Pretty Pink Posh I Elephants

Last month, I did a video showing the new products and you all seemed to like that. Here’s a new video showing the newest products in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop!

As I mentioned in the video, the Springtime Embellishment Kit will only be available for a limited time. I’m making one batch of these kits and when they’re gone, they’re gone for good. With the price only being $13, I have a feeling these will go fast, so be sure to get yours soon!

Ready to do some shopping? I hope so! I cannot wait to pick your orders and see what items caught your eye. Thank you to everyone who has ordered thus far- your support and encouragement has meant so much to me.

It’s A Good Day

What’s this? A new card? Yes, I finally got a bit of creativity (and time) and while I still feel rusty stamping, I’m glad I made something worthy of posting. *wink*

I hope you’re not tired of seeing sequin cards, because I’m not tired of making them. They are so fun to make and everyone I have given them to have loved them. For my shaker frame, I used the Photo Mats Die from Top Dog Dies, which made this shaker super easy to whip up. I plan on doing a new sequin shaker tutorial soon and I’ll be using this die- it comes with three polaroid sizes and they are so easy to use!

Pretty Pink Posh I Balloon Animal

For this shaker, I used the Aquamarine, Pink Peonies, Lemon Drop and Sparkling Clear sequins. Curious how I came up with this color combination? I was actually inspired when I was packaging up a recent order for a customer! This color palette is so happy!

As I was assembling the card, the clouds looked a little bit lost. A little bit of faux stitching with a marker and voila! This not only made the clouds stand out, it also unified the card since I already had the other stitching on the focal point. My favorite markers to use for faux stitching are the Memento markers. They match the Memento ink pads (which I use when I color with Copics) and they have a fine tip perfect for faux stitching.

This weekend I was a busy little bee packaging up sequins and processing orders. I’m so happy that many of you were able to take advantage of the 10% savings coupon so far! If you’re new to sequins, or want to add some more to your collection, be sure to head over to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. I was looking over the colors I have in the shop and I can’t believe I have so many already!

Have you created a sequin shaker? If so, leave a link to your posts so I can take a peek. Sequin shakers have a special place in my crafty heart and in the near future, I have something planned with them. Stay tuned!

I {heart} You + Giveaway!

Hello, sweet blog friends!

Today I’m joining in on Valentine’s Day Blog hop hosted by the sweet Jenn Shurkus! The hop started on February 1st and goes all the way through February 14th. That’s right, she’s posting 14 days of yummy Valentine goodness and organized 14 gals to join along in the fun. So honored to be one of her guests!

Do you remember THIS card? Well, I was so taken with that sweet little envelope that I had to bring it out again. Normally I would make this a super girlie card, but I wanted to make a special Valentine’s Day card for my dad. With my health issues, he has become extra in tuned to my issues and does everything he can to make life a little easier for me. I kid you not, he  makes me breakfast every single day and yesterday he bought me pink roses- my favorite flower. Seeing as he blesses me every day, I wanted to make him a special card.

It’s no secret that I have an obsession with sequins and I have to add it to just about every card I make. There’s just something about them that makes a card complete! For this card I added my Sparkling Clear Sequins, along with the Red Heart Confetti.

If you haven’t already, be sure to stop by Jingle’s post from yesterday. She did a fab black, white and gold card that was not only trendy, but chic too! And then for tomorrow, you get to see Lenny’s post!

excitingnewsI promised exciting news and I get to reveal it now. My friends at Sweet Stamp Shop just released their newest stamp sets and their team is featuring lots of Pretty Pink Posh products! Exciting, right? This is my first collaboration with a stamp company since opening my shop and I am so thrilled with this opportunity. To make the deal even sweeter, I donated some products for a giveaway that they’re hosting on their blog.

In closing, I want to mention that there are a few sequin colors in the shop that are sold out. Don’t worry, I have them already on order and they should be here on Thursday or Friday. As soon as they arrive, I’ll post on the Pretty Pink Posh Facebook page, so be sure to stay tuned there!

Well, that’s going to close this post. I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and be sure to check out the giveaway over on the Sweet Stamp Shop blog. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Gnome

You all know I’m a sucker for cute stamps. While I do love elegant and floral images, there’s something about cute images that pulls me in EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Today’s card features a cute image and I’ll admit, I almost want to get a gnome for myself after stamping this one.

A while back, I purchased a die that featured six blocks and I had all sorts of ideas I wanted to do with it. I’m sad to say, just about all of those ideas went out when I lost my creativity. Hopefully both the ideas and creativity will return in full force soon. This little trickling of creativity is just not cutting it….

Pretty Pink Posh I Hello Gnome

This adorable Woodland Gnome is from the new DeNami release and boy, he’s a cutie. You can use him alone, like I did, or you can pair him with the abundance of woodland critters we just released. However you use him, he’s bound to look adorable on your projects!

While there’s quite a few layers on this card, everything came together super quickly. Ah, the beauty of die cuts! I used the Femme Frames, the Stitched Journaling Die and Tag Me dies for this card and I love how well they all work together!

Pretty Pink Posh I Hello Gnome

Well, I’m going to wrap this post up. Thanks for stopping by and visiting me today. I’ll be back tomorrow with a new post, along with some exciting news. See you then!

Sweet Butterflies

When I started the Pretty Pink Posh Shop, I honestly didn’t think I would lose time in my studio. Well, my friends, 3 1/2 weeks later and I am just now getting back to crafting. Granted, there were quite a few days mixed in there that I felt downright crummy, but the busyness of opening  a business has definitely played a huge part in blogging and crafting less. With that being said, I absolutely LOVE that the Pretty Pink Posh products are making their way around the world and truth be told, I am dreaming of the day when this can be my full time job.

Today I have a new (to you) card to share and it’s downright girlie. Pink, purple, sequins, pearls, doilies….you really can’t make it any more girlie. I adore this butterfly and will find any excuse to pull it out.

Click here for a previous post and video using the same butterfly.

Pretty Pink Posh I ButterfliesDid you happen to notice that I pulled out the Femme Frames dies again? If you are overwhelmed with the amount of dies out there (it’s okay, I can be too), this one is hands down one of the ones I would say is a MUST HAVE. They are so easy to use and make things a whole lot easier. I love these so much!

butterflies1bI hope you all have a wonderful Thursday. I have a doctor appointment in just a bit, then work and I’m hoping I can sneak in a bit of crafting later on. I’ll keep you posted on the last item…. Thanks for stopping in!

New Shopping Cart & More!

Hello and Happy Friday to you!

Today is a happy day for me….I’m launching the new shopping site for Pretty Pink Posh! I honestly had no clue how the Pretty Pink Posh products would be received, so I started out on Etsy (a great place if you want to test out the waters). I have been so very blessed by the response and I quickly realized I needed a more substantial site to host my products. After some research and lots of behind-the-scenes work, I’m reading to launch!

It’s been a month since I added new products to the store and since I was launching the new site, I wanted to bring you some more products. I filmed a quick little video sharing the new products. (Please excuse my cold- it’s been here for a few days and sadly hasn’t wanted to go away yet)

Watch the video above    I    Watch the video on YouTube
 

I wanted to share some new inspiration with you today featuring a few of the products that can be found at Pretty Pink Posh. Here’s a sweet little card trio I created….it’s it fun? My sweet friend, Dawn McVey, always inspires me and these colors remind me of her so very much. They’re so fresh and fun and let’s not forget they also coordinate perfectly with the twines I sell (I featured the hot pink, turquoise and marigold in the trio).
CardTrio_1

For the middle of each flower (that’s from the amazing Summer Flower set by DeNami Design), I put in a trio of the Sparkling Clear Sequins. These are one of my favorites from the shop and judging from your orders, you all love it too! To make it a little more special, I added little pearls on top of the sequins.

CardTrio_2

I don’t know about you, but special occasions make me want to celebrate. My version of a celebration in honor of the new site? A coupon code, of course! Whether there are items that have been on your wish list, or you would like some of the new products, you can use the coupon!

My amazing and talented team have also created items to share, so be sure to head on over to their blogs for even more inspiration. Have I mentioned how much these gals inspire me? You will be blown away by their cards!

Lisa  ♥  Leigh  ♥  Stacey  ♥   Joni   ♥  Maureen

Well, that’s a wrap for today’s post. Again, thank you to everyone who has ordered from my shop thus far. With each new order, you’re helping me fulfill my dreams and also bringing me closer to releasing even more new products. I have so many exciting ideas and plans, I can’t wait until I can move forward on them! visittheshop

My Heart Is Full…

Surprise, surprise, I have a card to share today. Truth be told, I actually made this card months ago, but whenever I went to post it, the Fresh Cut Florals stamp set and/or Fresh Cut Floral dies were out of stock. Well, it’s back in inventory (and if you’ve been wanting it, get it NOW) and I thought today would be the perfect time to post this card.

In the past I’ve done numerous posts with these products and honestly, they are some of my absolutely favorites. When I had energy to craft more often, I would have to force myself to use other sets (I didn’t want the others to get jealous!), but I always seem to find my way back to this lovely set.

See my previous posts HERE, HERE, HERE , HERE and video HERE.

Pretty Pink Posh : Fresh Cut FloralsFor this card, I went the route of some warmer colors and I love how it turned out. Some of you may remember that I previously had a hard time using purple….alas, this isn’t the case any longer. I love purple now and I thought it worked perfectly on this card.

Do you spy that scrumptious chevron twill ribbon? That’s just one of the many colors available in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop! This ribbon is my absolute favorite and judging from the response from customers, you all are loving it too!

Pretty Pink Posh : Fresh Cut Florals

excitingnewsStay tuned, if all goes as planned, my new shopping site will be ready by the end of the week! I wanted to make sure all the kinks were worked out and I believe it’s all set to go. Until then, I’m busy restocking inventory and adding  a few new products for you all to enjoy.

I hope I inspired you to pick up this set/ dies, or if you already have them, to pull them out again. Thanks so much for stopping in today and spending some time with me!
