Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Week

Hi everyone! Today Pretty Pink Posh is having a themed week which is Halloween. Yeap, it's already October you guys.. time flies really fast. Is it only me or everyone elses are thinking the same? I actually don't celebrate Halloween here in Indonesia but I do really enjoy making Halloween projects sice I found it's an interesting holiday. Everyone decored and dressed up, I mean come on it must be super fun!

Let's get started..

I use the brand new stamp set called Halloween Pals which is a 3"x4" stamp set that include these adorable dressed up puppy and kitty with their own jack-o-laterns. Super cute! I fall in love with this set as soon as I saw them on the preview. They are stamped with Versafine black ink which is a perfect choice if you are crazy about watercoloring just like I do. After I finished with the coloring I use the coordinating dies to cut all the pieces.

I use the stitched pumpkins from Fall Tags Dies, I cut them three times on deep orange cardstock. As for the background, I blended Chipped Sapphire in the center part and Bundled Sage Distress Inks at the outer part. Dark background to me really adds that spooky vibes to a Halloween card. I also stamped some bats from the older stamp set called Halloween Friends with black dye ink. After I finished preparing all the elements I want, I start to arrange them all together. And last but not least are the jewels, I'm obssesed with them a little bit too much that I feel to add them on every single cards I made. LOL. Today I use the pretty Blue Lagoon Jewels that perfectly match today's card color combo.

That's all for today. And don't forget that Pretty Pink Posh is having 15% DISCOUNT on all items in their Halloween section! Don't miss it you guys, go put them in your cart before it's ended.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Let's get started..

I use the brand new stamp set called Anemones Stamps, I stamp some flowers with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. Let's be honest, I never knew there are flowers called Anemones and of course I didn't know how it looks. So I searched them on Google and found some color inspirations from the real ones. I mersmerized by the blue-ish purple and how pretty they are. I fussy cut each pieces and here's an old trick, use black marker to color the edges and it will look more crisp.

I also add two Darling Dragonflies to compliment the card, I also stamped them with Versafine black ink and watercolored them with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring, I use the coordinating dies to cut them. Nice and easy. They look pretty together, right? I also add some brand new jewels in Blue Lagoon, it looks amazing in photos and in real life. Don't you think so?

Pretty Pink Posh May Blog Hop

Hello everyone! Lexa here and today is an exciting day indeed.. It's time for another Pretty Pink Posh new release blog hop once again. You'll be swoon over all the new products, no doubt. In two days, all the talented ladies will be showcasing everything and get ready to fill in your shopping basket with their new products.

Here's my card for today hop, I use the brand spanking new Playful Puppies Stamp which is my most favorite of them all. Just look at those adorable little puppies...awh come on! I pair it with Happy Mail Stamp, it has a bird with a love mail on his beak and a mail box. I stamp the stand alone envelope and adhere it on the puppies mouth so it looks like he will send the mail. The trick is just slit a little to tuck in the envelope.

For this card, I use colored cardstocks for solid colors in the background. I use the straight scalloped dies from Scallop Borders Dies for the grass, Picket Fence Dies, and the clouds from Rainy Days Coordinating Dies to complete the scene. While the sentiment is hidden behind the window I created using Peekaboo Windows Dies.

Last touch is the brand new Sparkling Clear Jewels, okay...just admit it..these jewels are the star of the show. You must have them in every colors! Just because they are so amazing and of course sparkling.

That's all for today's post. Don't forget to leave comments and some love on every stop. Because there are 4 $25 gift certificates up for grabs (two winners each day). Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PDT on 5/14/2018. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

Pretty Petunia

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a super pretty card using Pretty Petunias Stamp Set and the coordinating dies. I got the inspiration from google, I found it fascinating since I never see it in real life. The pink heart shape is super pretty..

Here's how I try to color my petunias as shown in the inspiration picture..

I stamped all the images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. The pink and yellow look so good together, so I recreate the colors for my background using Squeezed Lemonade and Worn Lipstick Distress Markers using Tim Holtz stencil. After I finished with the coloring, I use the coordinating dies to die cut all the flowers and leaves. One of the most fun part is to arrange the flower together. Some pretty sequins from the brand new Spring Blossom Sequins Mix are adhered with glossy accent to create more sparkle to this card. The sentiment from Love Sentiments Stamp is stamped with black ink in the center of the card.

Thank you so much for vistting today. I hope you like today's card as much as I do. Have a wonderful day to you and everyone you love!

Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Blog Hop

Hi everyone, Lexa here and something exciting is happening today.. Pretty Pink Posh is having a 4th Birthday Celebration! Hip hip hooray! Don't forget to join the blog hop until tomorrow. Today is the second day...let's get started. I mix the new release Birthday Friends, Cupid Friends along with some older stamp sets Friends Forever and Wild Rose stamp sets.

To begin my card, I pick a black cardstock and use Love Shaker Dies to create the window for my shaker card. There's no doubt that PPP has one of the most detail and precise dies. All the images are stamped with Versafine black ink and watercolored with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring, I use the coordinating dies to die cut all the images. I arrange all the images around the love shaker window, some of them are adhered with glue while some others using foam tapes.

I hope you enjoy today's post, thank you so much for stopping by. Have fun with the rest of the hop! Don't forget to leave comments and show us some love on every stops. There are some awesome deals during the Birhtday Celebration Blog Hop... check it below.

Pretty Pink Posh DT Announcement

Hello and Happy New Year everyone! Today is Pretty Pink Posh DT Announcement, and I'm gladly announce that I will be on PPP Design Team for another term.  YAY!! I'm beyond thrilled to be part of this amazing ladies in the team. To celebrate today I'm sharing a card with these adorable Sea Friends. 

I started this card by doing some Distress Inks blending in Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Peacock Feather and Tea Dye on the very bottom. After I'm happy with the background I made, I use Stacked Edges 1 Die Set one at the time so it creates pretty wavy blue sea and sand in the bottom of the ocean. I stamped all the images with Versafine and watercolor them with Distress Markers. I love how colorful and adorable every creatures are. I didn't forget to add rosy cheeks for everyone too.

Blue sparkly sequins are added to create some bubbles in the sea.

Thank you so much for visitting today, I hope you all love this card and have an amazing day to all my crafty friends out there!

Quick and Easy Christmas Tags

Hello crafty friends! It's almost Christmas day, we are all counting down to the most wonderful time of the year. I'm so busy wrapping presents, baking and all. So I decided to create this quick and easy gift tags to get the presents ready on the big day.

I use Scallop Hexagons Die Set for the tag's base, I use both the frames and the negatives to create the tags. I created ten gift tags in total, so I started with die cut the Scallop Hexagons on white cardstock and pink polkadot patterned paper five times each. For the white negatives, I blended Distress Inks in Spun Sugar on the top part and create a gradation.

I stamped all the images from Winter Woodland and Christmas Friends with Versafine black ink then watercolor them with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring, I die cut all my images with the coordinating dies. Winter Woodland currently is my most favorite set from PPP with no doubt, I think I will use it anytime not only for holiday's projects. The sentiments are from Holiday Greetings stamp set which has super pretty font that I love.

I pick pink, red and white for this gift tags. I always find it easier to choose what colors I want first before I start to making things. So I'll know which paper should I use or what color the images should be and everything will be look good together. After I finished tied up some ribbons and laces to the tags, I decided to put some matching sequins to add more festive ambience. Luckyly, PPP has Sweetheart Mix Cuped Sequins to match my gift tags. YAY!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I really hope you enjoy today's post. Have an amazing holiday everyone!

PPP Warm Hugs and Lots Of Love

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a winter theme card, featuring some holiday stamp sets, Winter Woodland and Christmas Friends. Today I will play with watercolor for the background using Caran D'Ache Neocolor II. 

Holiday stamp sets also can be used for everyday cards as well. I stamped all the images with Versafine black ink that works the best for watercoloring. My style of watercolor is always a little bit loose, I always use Distress Markers and damp brush for coloring. I mix blue and purple for the sky, blend the colors with lots of wate and left some white borders on the edges. I love to create a little scene, it just make me happy everytime I make up stories behind it.

After I finished with the background, I make a snow hill as the ground for the little boy and winter animals to stand. Aren't they the cutest? It probably one of my most favorite stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh ever.

Here are some closer looks of my card. Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix is a perfect companion for this card, it creates snow drops from the sky as well as create dimensions. Somehow it makes the scene look so dreamy together with the pastel color sky.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you guys like my card as much as I do. Have a wonderful day!

PPP Christmas Angels

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to share a holiday card inspiration starring the brand new Angel Friends Stamp Set from Pretty Pink Posh. They are super adorable, I can not. I'm also showcasing the limited release PPP collaboration with Simon Says Stamps, Damask Greetings. This is a show keeper...super pretty!

I stamped all my images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring I die cut them all with the coordinating dies. Each of them have different pastel color dress... untraditional Christmas colors can be an alternative choice. I create the background start with silver embossed the pattern from Damask Greetings then randomly blend some Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac, Tumbled Glass to match the little angels' dresses and finish it by water splatters. The little scene is framed with baby blue Scallop Frame Dies that exclusively sold on PPP's shop. And the Gold Stars Sequins is one of the must have item for your holday cards.

Pretty Pink Posh July Product Release Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends!

Winners will be announced on the PPP blog. So make sure you leave comments along the blog hop.

Today I created a slider card with gorgeous flat shaker ocean on the bottom part. I blend some Distress Inks on the background, Tea Dye as sands, Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean as the water, Peacock Feather as the sky. I finished the background with some water splatter. These cute little girl with a unicon floaties is from Summer Friends stamp set, she originally has feet but I cut it out for this card so she looks like floating on the ocean. She is holding a cup of ice pink lemonade on her hands. Yum! Some Sea Friends are accompaning her on that sunny day. Can you guess which sea creatures is my favorite from this set? Well, I must say it's the crab with big round eyes. Adorrrable.

To complete the scene I thought I need a sun, so I die cut the ball from Summer Friends coordinating dies alone on a yellow cardstock. And the white clouds are from the smaller cloud dies from Rainy Days coordinating dies which originally to cut the solid cloud from the same stamp set. For the sentiment, I stamp Hi! from Everyday Greetings stamp set on one of the cloud.

I adhere a piece of vellum on top of the ocean scene and add some brand new Mermaid Mix sequins, it has so much sparkle and so mermerizing. Here's a little trip andd trick to adhere vellums, I usually use some glossy accents for it.

Flying By To Say Thank You

Hello crafty friends! Lexa here today to share some inspirations for the PPP new release products. Today I'm highlighting Fly Away Friends stamp and the coordinating dies. This set has adorable hot air balloons and an airplane with two cute creatures peeking, a squirell and a lion. It also has a lot of variation of sentiments to go along with the "flying by to say..". This set (with some other new products) will be available on July 10th. I combine some of older sets to complete the scene on my card.

I stamped all the images with Versafine black in and watercolor them with Distress Markers. I've mentioned that I use some older sets for this card, they are Winter Friends Stamp (I used the trees on the bottom part) and Rainy Days Stamp (the solid blue clouds).  I blended Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks for the sky, I finished it with some random water splatters. I used the bold "thank you" sentiment from Everyday Greetings Stamp to complete the sentence.

The squirell's face is super adorable peeking out from the biggest hot air balloon. I add some rosy cheeks for him for extra cuteness. Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix is one of my most favorite mix from Pretty Pink Posh, an abosolute must have item! I always have some extra packs in my stash. I layered the scene on a piece of orange cardstock to make it more stand out and subtle, it also matches the orange hot air balloon.

I also add a little pop up scene inside the card, I die cut Picket Fence Die on a white cardstock for the frontground with a brown little bear peeking. I also stamped some smallest hot air balloons with some matching colors as the outside scene. I hope you enjoy my first card for Pretty Pink Posh blog today. I believe you guys will love all the new release! Just a few days to go, the wait is almost over

It's time to showcase my card for this hop, featuring some of the Pretty Pink Posh new release.

I use all three Scallop Hexagons Dies to create a layout on my 4.25"x5.5" white card base. I inked up every pieces with Distress Inks (Mustard Seed, Worn Lipstick, Salty Ocean, Abandoned Coral). All the images are stamped with black Versafine ink and watercolored with Distress Markers. The adorable bees from Bee Friends are flying around the spring flower garden, the flowers are from Bold Blooms and the stems are from Bee Friends.

To create a diversity each hexagons have different scene, for the pink one I created a shaker window using some pretty Springtime Sequins Mix which is perfect for this card.
