Pretty Pink Posh / New Product Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh new product release Blog Hop! I am so excited to be joining the entire DT and amazing guests again as part of this hop!

I thought it would be fun to infuse rainbow colors into some of the new products from this release! Starting with the Hello Shaker Die.

I started with a panel of Bristol Smooth Watercolor paper and using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, I scribbled them onto the panel. When done blending, I spritzed the panel with water and allowed to dry. What I was left with was this rainbow 'hello'! To create the black frame, I simply die cut and cut off the 'hello'. I added my shaker element to a panel of rainbow notebook paper from Lawn Fawn.

My shaker element was made using the Mini Iridescent Star Confetti and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins. To finish, I added my shaker panel to a notecard layered with a panel of red cardstock.

***********************

Next, I thought it would be fun to create a-typical 'love' card using some of the supporting images from the School Friends Stamps. I did keep with the "school" theme by creating a chalkboard message along with a rainbow stack of books (colored with Copics). The scalloped frame is from Scallop Frame Dies.

My chalkboard message was white heat embossed onto the black panel behind the frame. To finish, I added my rainbow colored books with foam adhesive.

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 6/19/2018. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

I had so much fun die cutting my little houses in rainbow order. I created my own little neighborhood using the Around Town SugarCut and a little die cut hill from TreeScape SugarCut. To ground where I was stamping my sentiment (from Warm Welcome), I scored three lines to add just a bit of texture. To keep this CAS, I added a Welcome SugarCut (made my own chipboard word by layering 3 of these together) in grey cardstock to match the roofs of the little houses.

REMEMBER--Place an order* of $60 or more (excluding discounts and shipping) and you will receive the Welcome SugarCut, FREE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!!

SugarPea Designs / Sneak Peek Day 4

Hello!

I am excited to share more of the projects I've been working on for the brand new release from SugarPea Designs! Each day this week, we will be sharing inspiration using the new release. With several new stamp sets and matching dies.......there's something you are sure to love!

We are almost done with the Sweet Peeks for the all the NEW products that will be available for purchase starting this Friday, June 15th at 6PM EST in the SPD Store.

Well, today's card is all about the GOLD and metallic. I thought the new Boho Feathers would be fantastic embossed in gold. They were die cut with the coordinating dies and layered over a piece of vellum that was die cut using the Card Front Element Builder SugarCut which was layered over a piece of foiled polka dot paper. The sentiment (from Dare to Dream) was gold heat embossed onto white thin strips of cardstock and a die cut 'dream' was added in metallic gold cardstock.

Queen & Co. / New Embellishments!

Hello there! I'm here sharing some inspiration using some of the newest embellishments available in the Queen & Co. store!

My first card uses the new Sparkle Ric Rac.

I created my own floral embellishment by using my hot glue gun to attach the pink Sparkle Ric Rac into a circular pattern onto a scrap piece of white felt. I sewed on one button to the center. I thought this would be an adorable embellishement for a baby card. I added my die cut sentiment and banner along with the Ric Rac flower to a die cut edged panel of pattern paper from Heart Throb.

Supplies:

Sparkle Ric Rac

Buttons

Heart Throb Paper Pad

***********************************

My second card is CAS using some of the new Starburst embellishments.

I created a rainbow 'HELLO' using Distress Ink and simply added the coordinating Starbursts below the letters. This panel was flanked with black cardstock to just offset the colorful rainbow.

Supplies:

Starburst

SugarPea Designs / Sweet Peek Day 3

Hello!

We have made it mid-way through the Sweet Peeks for the all the NEW products that will be available for purchase starting this Friday, June 15th at 6PM EST in the SPD Store.

Today we are sharing the Message Letter Board Die set. I decided to use the phrase 'you can do this' in white letters on a turquoise backdrop. To keep this simple, I added some of the images from the Stuck On You stamp set but used the greenery and the flowers.

Lil' Inker Designs / June Release Day / Giveaway

We are here for the final day of the Lil' Inker Designs June Release! This release is FULL of amazing dies and stamps for the coffee lovers, cat lovers, and babies.......are you ready? Guess what?? The whole new release is now available and can be found HERE!!!

My first card uses the new Perky Posies XL Dies (a follow up to a popular smaller set) along with the new Perfectly Plaid Cover Up Die.

I started with a white die cut plaid panel and adhered it to a white notecard. For my posies, I die cut them from watercolor paper and drug them through watered down Distress Ink in Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Abandoned Coral, and Peeled Paint. I added bold black centers and arranged them on my card. When done, I finished off with a bold black die cut Hello Die.

****************************

My second card is all about those snuggly babies! Again I've used the Perfectly Plaid Cover Up Die as an impression for my gingham die cut Onesie Die.

I also die cut the Baby Word Tags Dies from coordinating cardstock and adhered it over the top of the onesie. To finish, I added the tiny die cut safety pin and a twine bow.
