Tic-Tac-Toe Tutorial

Hello everyone, Joni here!

I am back with a fun tutorial for you today using my all time favorite Stitched Film Strip Die.  I created a Tic-Tac-Toe game card that you can use as a card for your child’s invite or just a fun card that you can give out.

To begin, I watercolored a watercolor panel and adhered a magnet sheet at the back of the panel.

Next, I die-cut the Stitched Film Strip Die and cut the ends with scissors to create a tic-tac-toe shape for my card.

I adhered the film strip on top of the watercolored panel. I also stamped and colored the cute critters on a white cardstock from the Darling Friends stamp set, then die-cut using the coordinating dies.  Then I adhered tiny pieces of magnet on the bottom of each critter to make the critters movable on the card for play time.

Then I added a strip of brown cardstock which I also adhered a strip of magnet at the bottom to make it removable. The gold embossed sentiment “Play”  and white embossed “on” was from Winnie & Walter’s The Big, the Bold and Fun stamp set.

Here’s just another look without the other critters.

May 2015 Release

Hello and Happy May!

Today I have a new release, but things will be a little bit different in this post. I typically show a couple of cards and a new release video when I have a release and I DO plan on doing that. These last few weeks have been rough for me health wise so the amount of hours I’ve been able to work has been cut down. Not to worry, I WILL have more cards and a video coming soon…

As many of you noticed in my last release, I am a tad bit obsessed with purple lately. It’s a color that I have had a hard time using in the past, but lately, I can’t seem to put it down! I actually put together a whole embellishment kit and two sequin mixes around purple and I just LOVE how they turned out.

Pretty Pink PoshToday’s card showcases the two brand new die sets I’m releasing this month- the Stitched Banner Duo 2 and the Stitched Borders 3. I am so proud they turned out exactly how I envisioned and I know you all will love them, too!

For today’s card, I brought out a stamp from an unlikely source- a Christmas set. I have the sets that are brand new, or that I plan on using it a bin and this Christmas set was in it. I immediately saw the wreath and thought it would be a great spring wreath. I have now created three cards with this wreath…. see, when I like a stamp/set, I use it a ton!

Pretty Pink Posh

Since my last release, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the time to release my next batch of flower sequins. These flowers are the perfect finishing touch for so many cards and I love the colors in this new batch called Lilac Garden Flowers.

In this closer pictures, you can see the new scallop border that’s part of the Stitched Borders 3. You know I love my borders- especially stitched borders- and I think these new ones are super versatile.

November 2014 Release

Hello, sweet readers!

As most of you know, I typically do my releases on the 1st of every month and quite honestly, I wasn’t going to do a release this month.  I know things can get crazy with the holidays and then budgets get a little tighter, but I got a large amount of requests for a release, so I decided to do a (small) release this month. These items are super fun and I’ll admit, I’m happy that you all were interested in new products. These are PERFECT for the holidays!

For those who are still trying to collect all of the sequin colors and sizes, I just got in over a dozen shipment of sequins (can you say hundreds of pounds of sequins?!) and I was wanting to make sure I got all stocked up for the holiday season. Whether you need some for yourself, or maybe for gifts and stocking stuffers, I got you covered!

My first card showcases the 4mm Metallic Gold sequins that are quickly rising to my favorites list. They add just the right amount of sparkle and it bring together the other gold in the card and makes the card just a bit more festive. Did you happen to notice the sparkly twine? That’s one of four that’s new to the shop during the holiday season. LOVE!

Curious on what I used on this card? I used the Laurel Wreath die and Prize Stag die from Ellen Hutson, along with the Cozy Christmas set. If you missed the In Review video I did on these products, along with the whole release, CLICK HERE.

My next card is a little more elegant and features the brand new sequin color in the shop- Burgundy! This is a nice change than the typical red and it’s so scrumptious! On this card I used the Botanical Wreath set from Impress Rubber Stamps, along with the Winnie & Walter set called The Big, The Bold and The Happy.

Pretty Pink Posh

For this card I pulled out the window panes from the Stitched Duo 1 die set to create my focal point. Just in case you’re curious about the ink colors I used on this card, I have a video about it coming soon! *wink*

Pretty Pink Posh

Okay, now on to the video showing you the new products, along with sneaks of cards I’ll be sharing soon…

Pretty Pink Posh + Winnie & Walter Inspiration Blog Hop

I have been counting down the days to this day and it’s finally here! I am beyond thrilled to be teaming up with my friends at Winnie & Walter for the very first Pretty Pink Posh collaboration since opening my shop. It’s been a goal of mine to work with some of my friends in this industry in a team-up and I couldn’t be happier than to do my first one with Julie and Shay from WW.

All of the girls from the Pretty Pink Posh and Winnie & Walter teams are joining along in a blog hop packed full of inspiration featuring both companies. I must say, Julie and Shay have great taste in designers- each of them are super talented AND we have a few of the same gals, which made this even more fun.

bloghop_3winnie1a

I received a variety of sets from Winnie & Walter, but I just had to show off The Big, The Bold and Extras first. I fell in love with the gorgeous roses and I love how easy it was to create clusters and make my own sentiment. This set is not only great for everyday use, but it would be PERFECT for creating wedding cards. I don’t know about you, but I struggle with those big time and this set would make it super easy!

This focal point was so pretty, I didn’t feel like the card needed anything too fussy for embellishments, so I went with my tried and true trios. I used the 6mm Sparkling Clear, 4mm Espresso and 4mm Mossy Green to accent this card.

Now it wouldn’t be a proper blog hop without prizes and boy, we have prizes! Julie and Shay love giving things away as much as I do, so we have two prize packs FULL of our products. They will randomly pick a winner and I will randomly pick a winner for our respective prize packs. Here’s the one I get to give away!

How can you win this prize pack? All you have to do is leave a comment on the blogs and you’re entered! You have a higher chance of winning if you leave a comment on each stop, so I’d suggest getting a cup of coffee (or tea or water) and hop along. Not only will you get a huge amount of inspiration, you’ll also have a chance at winning a huge prize pack!  (Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PDT on 10/27/2014.)

Ready to get hopping? I know there’s lots of stops, so I will wrap this up. I hope that you are inspired by all the creations and if you haven’t already, be sure to check out the array of stamp sets by Winnie & Walter.
