Hey friends! I have another set of Halloween cards and a video to share with you all!
If you missed any of my previous Halloween posts and videos this year you can find them all here:
I made 4 cards using the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Wreath stamp set. For the first 3 I did a more "clean and simple" look by just stamping and/or heat embossing the wreath image from the set onto various card stocks.
I added splatter (of course lol) to all the panels, and used the Pretty Pink Posh Trick or Treat Script wafer die set. I stacked all those sentiment die cuts using white and Desert Storm card stocks and topped the one with Matte Gold card stock.
I stamped the wreath from the Halloween Wreath set onto the inside of the cards (and put a white piece of card stock on the inside of the black card base) with Simon's Cobblestone ink.
For the fourth card I decided to amp it up a little bit and used the Halloween Wreath set along with the coordinating wafer die set. Using the coordinating die set you can easily build dimension and/or make fun shaker cards. I decided to take it a step further and make it into a shaker window:
You can check out how I made all these cards in the video below:

Hello everyone! I'm super excited to be hopping along with a bunch of other super fabulous, talented designers as part of several days of inspiration for Pretty Pink Posh's January release AND their 5th Birthday Celebration!
I'll also have links to all the other stops on the hop as well as giveaway info lower down in the post!
I ended up making 3 cards and a video using some of the newly-released products as well as a few PPP oldie-but-goodies:
Not only did I made 3 cards, but they're all shaker cards AND they're all FLAT shaker cards - fun right?
Oh and did I mention they're all die cut through the card front so it's also a window to the inside? It was an extra bit of figuring out to pull that off with these but once I made one card the other 2 came together pretty easily and having them as shakers AND windows just adds some fun to otherwise clean and simple cards!
Just a shot of the backs/inside of the card fronts so that y'all can see what I mean!
I finished off the insides of the cards with sentiments from Pretty Pink Posh's Simple Sayings: Life and Love Sentiments sets and that was it!

If you missed any of the stops here are links to all of them - plus this is day 2 of hops. Day 1 was yesterday and there will be another line up of inspiration tomorrow!

Now for the GIVEAWAY info!!
Pretty Pink Posh is giving away 3 $25 gift certificates to random comments left on the different stops every day! That’s right, we’re giving away a total of NINE $25 gift certificates over the three days! Comments must be left before January 17th at 11:59 PM PST. Paulina will be announcing the winners next week, so be sure to return to the Pretty Pink Posh blog to see if you are one of the winners!
It's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge! You can check out this week's HERE <--------click! to see what the rest of the team created with these colors and please play along if you'd like!
Here's what I made:
I pulled out the new Pretty Pink Posh Geraniums stamp set and white heat embossed all the images onto some Canson Montval watercolor paper. I then used the PinkFresh Studio liquid watercolors and a paintbrush to color them all in before letting them dry and die cutting them with the coordinating wafer dies.
I ran white card stock through my little Xyron sticker maker to apply adhesive to it then die cut it multiple times with the Pretty Pink Posh Hello Friend Script wafer dies. Then all I had to do was peel off the backing, stack all the die cut sentiments together (they're 3 layers each) and then press them on to my card front.
I of course had to add some bling - I used Studio Katia's Snow Crystals for the flower centres and the May Crystals for some more green bling.
On the inside of the card I used Pretty Pink Posh's Thoughtful Greetings stamp set - stamping the sentiment with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide and Candied Apple Distress Oxide inks. I then added a couple of the die cut geraniums and that was it!

I wanted to create more cards using Pretty Pink Posh's Sparkle Dot Patterns 1 and 2 stamp sets using some of the new packs of jewels that I got recently.
I stamped the images from the sets onto white card stock with Simon Says Stamp's Barely Beige ink, then adhered varieties of the jewels using Ranger's Multi Medium Matte adhesive.
I used a few different Pretty Pink Posh stamp sets for the sentiments, white heat embossing them on black card stock. For the heart card I die cut the PPP Lovely Script wafer die from white and Tonic's Polished Gold Mirror card stock (which die cut like a dream - no cracking or flaking off) that I'd run through my 3" Xyron Sticker marker before stacking together and adhering to my card.
I finished off the insides of the cards with sentiments from the same Pretty Pink Post sets I'd used on the front, as well as one from the newer Simple Sayings: Life stamp set and that was it!

Hello everyone! This is a long post, a long video and there's a giveaway too!!
I'm racing the clock (as usual) with Easter this weekend but I am determined to keep creating and posting (nothing like having ideas for next year right? That's what I'm telling myself anyway). I have so many new-to-me products here and the ideas are just rolling.
Speaking of I made 4 Easter cards with a bunch of the new Pretty Pink Posh goodies that I got last week:
My main focus was the new Sparkle Dot Patterns 2 stamp set and all the new Jewels that Pretty Pink Posh released - I am LOVING all the new jewels (of course - if it's bling then Amy likey lol). I also love the Sparkle Dot patterns stamp sets - Pretty Pink Posh released the first set a few months ago (I have ideas for that one too - will have to make cards and a video with it at a later date) and then just released the 2nd set with their March release.
For my first card I kept it simple and just stamped the large egg image from the Sparkle Dot Patterns 2 stamp set onto white card stock. I then used several of the new jewels packs to fill in the dots and made them into a pattern of sorts. To finish off the card I ran some pink card stock through my Xyron Creative Station Lite and then die cut it 3 times with the new PPP Happy Easter Script wafer die and stacked them together before adhering to my card front.
For my second card I used the smaller egg image from the Sparkle Dot Patterns 2 stamp set and stamped it 3 times onto some Distress watercolor card stock. I then watercolored over that with 3 different colors of distress ink. I like how that defined the shape and added some background color. I used jewels in coordinating colors to fill in the eggs.
The bunnies are from the new PPP Bunny Friends stamp set - I stamped them onto Distress watercolor card stock with Versafine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed the images with clear embossing powder. I then used those 3 same Distress Inks to watercolor in all the images.
To create card #3 I used the new PPP Decorative eggs wafer die and die cut some light purple card stock that I stamped the small egg image from the Sparkle Dot Patterns 2 set onto. I then filled it in with the 2 shades of purple PPP jewels.
My final card probably took the longest but it was SO fun to make. I stamped the long border stamp from the Sparkle Dot Patterns 2 stamp set onto white card stock multiple times to fill an entire background. After filling it with the jewels in almost all the colors I added the layer that I'd die cut with the new Happy Easter Shaker wafer die. I used the same distress inks to watercolor the die cut, then inlaid it back into the main piece and popped it on top of the jewelled background with foam tape.
I finished the insides of all the cards with sentiments from the new PPP Encouraging Greetings stamp set and the remaining bunnies and flowers and that was it!

It's Friday!! I still have a cold (it's worse - ugh) - BUT I haven't lost my voice (yet anyway - really hoping that this time it doesn't happen) so I got this video edited and uploaded for y'all.
I pulled out my Mission Gold watercolors and the Pretty Pink Posh Wild Rose stamp set and did some watercoloring the other night. I also used my Fine Tec Pearlescent Colors to add shimmer to all the flowers and leaves - I am OBSESSED with the Fine Tec palettes - they're so gorgeous (if you don't want to splurge on them you can achieve a similar effect to these with Ranger's Perfect Pearls powder in Perfect Pearl and just mix with a little water).
I don't find myself using embossing folders often when card making, but the two that came in the Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit I LOVE. They're such a great texture and "generic" pattern in my opinion that they work with just about anything. I wasn't able to capture it on camera but I sprayed the Distress Watercolor card stock with a shimmer spray I'd made with Tonic's Nuvo Platinum Embellishment Mousse (any of their embellishment mousse's you can mix with water and create sprays with). It creates the most subtle shimmer - when you turn the card in natural light you can see it and it's so pretty but not overwhelming.
I popped all the flowers and leaves up with foam tape, and stacked the sentiments with 3 layers of card stock. Both sentiments are from Pretty Pink Posh - I die cut them multiple times from black card stock and stacked them for the extra weight and dimension.
I used Studio Katia's Onyx and Silver Foil Crystals and added them to the flower centres and on the card front. I reach for the Onyx Crystals all the time and the Silver Foil ones have almost a mirror finish to them which is gorgeous in real life!
I finished off the insides of the cards with sentiments from the Pretty Pink Posh Thoughtful Greetings stamp set and that was it!

Hello everyone! I am excited to be participating in a blog hop and birthday celebration for Pretty Pink Posh today!

I had the hardest time deciding which stamps and dies to use first - but the Valentine-themed ones won out:
I used the new Love Shaker Die and Cupid Friends stamp set along with the new Iridescent Heart Confetti to make a fun Valentine shaker card.
I heat embossed the images onto Bristol Smooth card stock with white embossing powder then used Distress Oxide inks and a water brush to color them in.
The Love Shaker die cut and the background were sponged with the oxides, backed with clear acetate then turned into a shaker that I generously filled with the Iridescent Hearts Confetti.
I finished off the inside of the card by heat embossing the sentiment from the Cupid Friends stamp set and stamped the little solid heart cluster with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink and that was it!

I'm back! I mentioned in my previous video that it was part 1 of 2 - so here's part 2.
After I'd made the Winter Woodland card I wanted to create something with Pretty Pink Posh's Joy Shaker wafer die - and decided to make some ornaments with it:
I pulled out my WeR Memory Keepers Fuse Tool to create several "flat" circular shaker pouches that I filled with several different Pretty Pink Posh sequins and Confettis.
Before I did any die cutting on the card stock I ran the pieces through my Xyron 3" Sticker Maker so that the card stock had adhesive on one side. I then ran the pieces through with half the die cuts card stock face up and the other half with the adhesive face up.
After sandwiching the shaker pouches between the card stock die cuts, I punches holes in the tops with my Crop a Dile. I still have some eyelets in my stash so I set those in the holes and strung through some cord (also hanging out in my stash lol) and my ornaments were done!
For a great idea on how to incorporate these into a card to give to someone check out Amy Yang's post HERE <------click! I love hers!!

Hello everyone! I hope y'all had a great weekend, and here we are at the last week before Christmas! Part of me had hoped to have all my Christmas cards made and videos posted well before now (but this is me we're talking about). Another part of me enjoys it so much though that I may just keep posting all the way 'till Christmas Day (even if it bypasses the 25 videos I originally set out to do!). What do you all think?
For today's video I pulled out some of the new Pretty Pink Posh stamps and dies that I hadn't had a chance to use yet - and after making this card I made more things and so will have another video coming a little later!
I used Lawn Fawns Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape die to create my background scene. I heat embossed the snowflakes with white embossing powder and sponged Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Inks over that to create the sky. I then sponged some Hero Arts Unicorn White pigment ink over the hills to lighten them a bit.
I used PPP's Merry Christmas Script wafer die and ran the card stock through my 3" Xyron Sticker Marker before die cutting it - so it was easy to remove the backing and adhere to the inside of my card. I'd saved one of the foxes I'd coloured at the beginning and stuck him on the inside and that was it!

The white mottled pumpkins in the photo really inspired my cards:
I sponged 4 different colors of Distress Oxide ink onto some Distress watercolor paper then die cut them using Pretty Pink Posh's Stitched Foliage die set.
To get the white on the pumpkins I used my Copic Opaque white and a stippling brush/sponge.
The sentiments are from PPP's Everyday Greetings stamp set - I heat embossed them onto the Kraft card stock with SSS's Gold embossing powder.
I also added some gold splatter with my Gansai Tambi Starry Colors palette - gotta have some splatter in there somewhere!
I finished off the insides with sentiments from the PPP Thoughtful Greetings set that I heat embossed with the same SSS gold embossing powder and that was it!
