Pretty Pink Posh - New Release Inspiration & A Giveaway!!


Hola, my sweet friends!!

I hope this is turning out to be a beautiful Thursday in your neighborhood!! I’m having a great day, myself!!  I wanted to pop in and share a couple of other samples that I created for the Pretty Pink Posh New Release!!  NOTE:  Please read all the way through my post as I have an awesome giveaway along the way!!

PPPAUG0615BlogHopTwine2

My first project features the new Twine & Bows Dies (new stock has just been added to the Pretty Pink Posh Store – get this die set quickly before it sells out again!).  First, I just want to mention how GENIUS I think this die set is!!  Like, seriously?!!  So flippin’ brilliant!!  I was curious to see if I could use it to die cut diagonal striped patterned paper to make the die cut look like actual baker’s twine – and it worked!!  BOOM!!  So many possibilities!!  That sweet scalloped border was created with another of the Pretty Pink Posh die sets called Stitched Borders 2.  And, of course, I’ve sprinkled some of my fave Sparkling Clear Sequins to embellish!

PPPAUG0615BlogHopStoryBook1

My second project features the new Storybook 1 Die.  Again, this is such a versatile and clever die that I think has so many design options!!  I used it here to surround the sentiment and to provide a frame for the embossed watercolor flowers.  The stitched detail that surrounds the Storybook 1 Die is amazing!!  I used the new Lavender Moon Sequins to embellish the card – they are so dreamy!!

*************GIVEAWAY!!!*************
GFT-2

Okay, so I promised a giveaway!!  I’ve got a Pretty Pink Posh $50 Gift Certificate that I’d love to give to one of my readers!!  All you have to do is leave me a comment here ON THIS POST ONLY!! You have until 12:01 AM (PDT) on Friday, August 21st, to leave your comment!  I’ll choose a winner and post it on my blog on Saturday, August 22nd!
