Pretty Pink Posh New Release Blog Hop -- {Day 1}

Amy Holiday Pals 

Hello and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh New Release Blog Hop!  This is a TWO day blog hop!  You should have arrived from the Pretty Pink Posh blog.  Paulina recently released more amazing dies, sequins, and 3 STAMP SETS!!!  They are so so adorable and you will want them all!  :)  

My first card uses the ADORABLE Holiday Pals and Dies.  I love that these can be used for more than just holiday.  I paired the Holiday Pals up with the Stitched Photo Frame Dies and created a little photo collage!  To one of the photo frames, I made it into a small shaker with the new 4mm Holly Jolly Christmas sequins.  For my background, I lightly added Tumbled Glass Distress Ink just where the photo frames were positioned leaving some white space around the perimeter.  I love the tiny sentiment in this set and stamped it at angles along with the frames!

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

My second card uses a set that is sure to be a hit.......Rainy Days.  The fonts and all the elements that are included make this a must have set for 'thinking of you' cards or just to cheer someone up!  

I white heat embossed the raindrops stamp for my background and only did this about 3/4 the way down the card because I wanted to leave a space to stamp my sentiment.  This scalloped frame is from a new set that is EXCLUSIVE to the PPP shop and is called Scallop Frames Dies.  Here I've diecut 2 and glued them together for dimension.  I stamped and diecut the umbrella pieces and added those inside the frame.

  118. Okay I love critters, so you had me there already - but I also loved your second card, and that you showed so many ways to use these sets throughout the year. I think all of us are looking for value for our money, and trying not to buy a set of stamps just because they are cute (although it is tempting!). Giving me new ways to use a set will always interest me in buying it. Thanks for the inspiration p.
