Pretty Pink Posh - Reindeer Friends

Hello again!

Here is card #2 designed with love for Pretty Pink Posh as their social media guest designer for the month of December.

Today, I made another pop up box card using the Reindeer Friends stamp set and coordinating dies. I usually choose my papers first and use it as an inspiration for my color palette. However, for this creation, I used the sentiment "merry and bright" to help me pick colors for the card. I wanted fun and bright colors... very non-traditional Christmas colors, and I am very happy that it worked for this card. Even the sentiment was stamped with a "not-my-usual-black-ink" color! ;)


Lastly, I wanted to share with you that you don't always have to use Christmas papers for a Christmas card. Here I picked birthday scrapbook papers for the box and I love the way it unintentionally matched all the markers I used to color the gifts. Unintentional - as I colored everything before choosing the papers... got so lucky! I think that most people choose their papers first and use that as a color inspo. What can I say? I am a unicorn!!! Hahaha!

October Release 2023 Blog Hop - Pretty Pink Posh

 Hello and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh October 2023 Release Blog Hop! For my card, I started out with a light blue cardstock that measures 4.5 inches square. I stenciled through the Winter Words with Finnabair Snowflake Paste for a fun background. I then made a mug shaker using the Winter Mug Dies and the cutout to make a window for the shaker is from the Birthday Mug Additions Dies. The shaker bits are from the Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads . I used various colors of cardstock from Spellbinders for my card. I added a cute little bird from the Holiday Birds Dies and a couple gifts using the rectangle pieces from the Build A Stocking Dies. The rest of the die cuts are from the new Holiday Mug Additions Dies.  Then I added some pink dots on the greenery with Liquid Pearls in Ballerina. Lastly, I glued the card panel onto a 4.5-inch square card base. Make sure to check out the rest of the Hop for more inspiration using the new products from Pretty Pink Posh! There ar...

Heffy Doodle and Gerda Steiner Designs Collaboration

  Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Gerda Steiner Designs Collaboration Blog Hop! Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies! For this fun collaboration, I made a slimline birthday card. To begin, I stamped, colored, and cut images from Gerda Steiner Designs - On the Table , On the Bookshelf and the new Heffy Doodle Popping By stamp set. I then cut the largest rectangle from the Heffy Doodle Stitched Slimline Trio Dies in white cardstock. For my table, I used the Ain't So Plaid Stencil and inked with Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides. The top portion is ink blended with Tattered Rose and I splattered some black and rose gold acrylic paint for interest. I then white heat embossed the happy birthday sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock. Next, I adhered the elements down onto the card. Lastly, I adhered my panel onto a slimline card base.

Merriest Christmas Wishes - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello friends. I'm here to show you a super easy Christmas shaker card made possible by the new Pretty Pink Posh Tree Cover Plate . I get really excited when I can whip up a card in just a few minutes. Let's get started! First, I cut the Tree Cover Plate from light pink cardstock and glued a sheet of clear acetate on the back. I added foam tape all around the edges and in the spaces between the trees. Then, I sprinkled in some Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads . After that, I peeled off the backing of the foam tape and glued on a patterned paper that's A2-sized. For the words, I used white heat embossed with a saying from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stamp Set on red cardstock. Then, I cut it out with a die from the Sentiment Strip Dies and gave it some extra pop by mounting it with foam. To make things extra special, I added Metallic Gold Pearls here and there for a touch of sparkle. I'm just thrilled with how quickly this card came together. I hope it gets your cre...
