Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop

Hello there! I was super excited when I was asked to guest design for this month’s release and to join in on the Pretty Pink Posh‘s 2 day blog hop. There’s 4 $25 gift certificates up for grabs during this blog hop (see below for the details).

Today, I’m sharing a couple cards using two of the newly released sets: Best of Luck and Bunny Friends along with the Happy Easter die.  I also have a video for one of the cards I’m sharing as well. 

First up, I used the Best of Luck set to create this colorful and fun card. It’s a pretty simple card but it catches your attention. I used the coordinating dies to die cut the leprechaun, pot of gold and rainbow and colored them using Copic markers. Using distress inks on a piece of vellum, I blended rainbow colors. Against vellum, the colors are a bit softened and it looks so pretty. I added a heat embossed sentiment in white that pops against the different colors.

My second card uses the Bunny Friends set and the Happy Easter die set. I know that the main part of this set are the bunnies but I couldn’t help love the little flowers. I decided to create three lines of these flowers and used some masking tape to mark off space so I could blend two colors of distress inks for each row, darker on the edges and bright in the middle. I took the Happy Easter dies and layered three of them so the sentiment would have a dimensional look. While the colors might not scream pastel and spring, the colors pop against the white heat embossed flowers and I LOVE IT! We don’t always have to be traditional right?

My third and final card for this blog hop is this fun spinning card. I had an idea of bunnies hanging out together in a circle but since I do love interactive cards, I just had to add an extra element to it. It’s a fun step and although it seems difficult, it’s really easy to put together. Check out the video below!

PPP Jewels & Bunnies

Hello everyone! Today, I’m sharing two cards I put together using Pretty Pink Posh‘s newly released stamp set Bunny Friends and the jewels.

I picked out blue cardstock and used a matching ink to stamp the little flowers from the Bunny Friends to create a background. I added a few dots just to fill in the empty space but to keep it simple. I die cut a square in that background to showcase one of the bunnies from this set. I used two different sizes of the Sea Glass Jewels to create a border around the square. The “Happy Spring” sentiment comes together, but I masked off the sentiment so it would be on one line on a piece of white cardstock. It’s a pretty simple card but the jewels really make it pop.

The next card is the same exact card except I chose pink cardstock and ink to match the Pink Blush Jewels. I decided to add a grassy field for the bunny to sit on and it really makes it pop. I chose to use the same pattern of the sizes for the jewels on the border.

Although it’s a really simple card, the jewels really make it pop. I like how they are different from sequins and look extremely pretty. Can’t wait to use them for more projects.
