Pretty Pink Posh August Release Blog Hop

Hello!
Today is the August product release blog hop for Pretty Pink Posh!
The release is full of adorable new stamp sets, lovely dies and of course sequins!
You should have arrived from Amy Lee's blog.



I created some cute shaker tags for my first project that can be used for different occasions.
For these I used the Stitched Hexagons dies and the Fox Friends stamp set.
I'm in love with how versatile these hexagons are, and how they leave the stitching lines on both the inside and outside depending on what your creating.
I started by using the two largest hexagons by lying one inside the other to create a frame.
I created my backgrounds by doing some ink blending and then assembled by shakers and stuffed with sequins.I used dies from the Stitched Essentials dies to create the hole and surrounding circle to turn my hexagons into tags.
I stamped my foxes and flags on watercolor paper, colored in with zig real brush markers and cut out using the Fox Friends Coordinating dies





For my purple shaker I used the Wisteria Blossom sequin mix, Sparkling Clear sequin mix, 3mm Sparkling clear sequins and the Iridescent Mini Circle Confetti. I also changed directions of my flag in this one by mirror stamping my image.







For my second creation I created a card using the adorable Camping Friends stamp set and Coordinating Dies.
I started by created my background on watercolor paper by coloring with Distress inks and splattering some gold colors using the Starry Colors water color paints. I stamped my images from the stamp set on water color paper seperatley, colored in using my Zig real brush markers and cut out with the coordinating dies. I used one of the Scallop Borders as my ground and then adhered all my pieces on.
To finish the card I scattered on some silver and gold mini star confetti.


That's it for my cards!

Party Animal Shaker Card featuring Avery Elle

Hello!

I have a fun shaker card to share with you today. 
I needed to add some Birthday cards to my stash so I used the Wild Birthday stamp set from Avery Elle to create a simple but fun Birthday card. 


I started by stamping my lion and then masking him off to stamp my hippo so he gives the allusion he's behind the lion, I then stamped both my critters to do some ink blending in the background. Once my masks were removed I colored my animals in with Copic markers. I stamped my balloons, banner and sentiment. I wanted to make my balloons into little shakers, so I fussy cut the inside of them out. I went around the inside with a black marker so that my horrible cute job wasn't terribly obvious.
I then used acetate and fun foam to create the areas for my shaker and filled the balloons in with a bunch of sequins from PPP.
I adhered this panel onto a white card base and that's it for my card!
I love the simple look of a card with a fun element.

Hope you enjoyed!!
Thank you for stopping by!!

Quick & Simple card using Pattern Paper

Hello!
Happy Friday!!

I have a super quick card to share with you today!
A lovely thing about pretty pattern paper is they make super quick cards if you in a hurry!
I just fell in love with this particular piece of pattern paper from the DIY Home paper pad from Pebbles that I wanted to use it for my main element of a card.



After trimming my pattern paper the size I wanted I then die cut it with the Scallop frame die from PPP. I popped up the frame are with foam tape and adhered it onto a grey card base,
with the inner piece I die cut the hello sentiment from SSS and then adhered it flatly onto my card base inside my frame to give the paper some dimension.
I then scattered some Rose Gold and Sparkling Clear sequins all over. & that's it for my super simple card! This card would be super quick to duplicate if needed and I may just to that with some different patterns!

Thank you so much for stopping in! Hope you have a lovely day & a lovely weekend!

Wishing You Brighter Days featuring Pretty Pink Posh

Hello!

Popping in today to share a card I created with some lovely PPP products that could be used for a sympathy card or someone who is simply down in the dumps and can use some cheering up.




I used the Rainy Days stamp set for my images. I started with a white piece of card stock cut slightly smaller then an A2 card base stamped the cluster of raindrops in the set all over my background with some Smoke ink from SSS. I then stamped my umbrella with Lavender ink from SSS on a separate piece of card stock and cut out using the coordinating Rainy Days dies. I also cut out some clouds with the dies on plain white card stock and glittered up. These elements sort of got lost in my background so I cut one the tags from the Stitched Essentials die with Fog card stock and adhered it onto my card. I adhered my umbrella on top and then popped my clouds up with some foam tape. I used Coastal Cabana card stock from Stampin up for my card base and created a banner out of it as well for my sentiment.

I finshed the card off with some Sparkling Clear and Lavender Moon sequins.
That's it for my card today!
I ended up falling in love the color combo of this card and will likely have to use it again soon:)
Thank you for stopping by!!
