Pretty Pink Posh Instagram Hop

 Hello everyone! Today I'm participating in the Pretty Pink Posh Instagram hop to showcase the January release. Be sure to comment on my instagram for a chance to win a PPP gift certificate!

Aren't these cake pops so sweet?! They were created using the new Valentine Cake Pop Die. The set includes a ton of accessories and other dies to personalize each one. 

The background is from three different hearts found in the new Valentine Bucket Addition Dies. I arranged them on my cardstock panel like a grid and simply glued them down. I do love how this card turned out!

My second card is this fun shaker! First, I stenciled a white cardstock panel with the Circle Grid Stencil in Peony Ink. Then I shifted the stencil a bit and blended the Circle Grid Stencil again with Pale Tomato.

Using the new Love Word Shaker Die, I die cut that directly into my stenciled panel. I also die cut the solid die from yellow cardstock, then used the additional dies to cut out the center of the letters. This left a beautiful thin border that I glued directly back to the card. The inside of the shaker is filled with the Strawberry Valentine Clay Confetti.

Lastly, I added another 'love' sentiment in the middle, cut from the darling Love Script Die.

Happy Birthday, Matty!

 Yesterday we celebrated Matt's birthday! I wanted to make him a special birthday card and I think I accomplished that! I mixed products from Concord and 9th and Pretty Pink Posh.

Also... I got the Color Cubes for Christmas! I truly love color study and color theory so I've been happy with my color combos in the past. However, I found that I was ALWAYS reaching for the same three colors and it was getting harder to fight that (teal, pink, and orange anyone?). So I'm happy to have handy inspiration. I randomly pulled out this color card with blues, oranges, and a tint of pink. I would've never put these together! 

Yes, I realize upon re-reading that my go-to combo of teal/pink/orange is very similar to this current color combo but I PROMISE YOU IT'S DIFFERENT! The shades mean everything.

So the 'wish' portion of this card is from a C9 exclusive that I received for attending the C9 Summer Camp. However, they have a very similar one called Burst of Cheer and the sentiment says 'hooray'. 

The background panel was embossed with a woodgrain embossing folder.

All of the cardstock used is from Concord and 9th. I also made sure to buy a pack of the rose gold metallic cardstock - isn't it gorgeous?! 

The light pink stars were die cut using the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Stars Dies. Lastly, the sentiment is stamped in Cobblestone ink and the stamp is from the Bootcut stamp set.

Showcasing the New Layering Hearts Stencil

 Today I'm on the Hero Arts Blog showcasing the brand new - gorgeous - Layering Hearts stencil. I eve have a video to go with it!

You can watch the video directly on youtube here. 

I show in the video how the stencils really can be used on their own, but for this card I used all four layers.

Layering 1 uses Naples Yellow Ink

Layer 2 uses Taffy Reactive Ink

Layer 3 uses Fruit Punch Ink

and Layer 4 uses Glitter Paste (obviously!)

The sentiment and accents are from the January 2025 Clear Set and Dies. I die cut them all using my new Platinum Scout. To finish the card, the main panel was die cut from the Scalloped Rectangles Infinity Dies and glued onto a Peony Cardstock base.

Thanks for watching my video!
