February New Release Blog Hop + Giveaway | Pretty Pink Posh

Welcome to Pretty Pink Posh‘s February 2025 Release Blog Hop! Be sure to check out the latest release from Pretty Pink Posh. Before we jump into my project for the hop, there’s a total of four $30 gift certificates up for grabs (one winner each day) for this 4 day blog hop! Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 3/4/2025. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

Hi friends! There have been so many amazing projects already shared in the past day of the blog hop and there’s so much inspiration today as well! Be sure to check it all out and today’s lineup!

For today, I’m sharing this card where I wanted a few layers to the card. First, I wanted to have a fun background that isn’t too bold. Then I wanted to use the Scallop Flag Tag dies as an anchor point for the images from the Birthday Cats & Dogs stamp set.

I wanted to play with a fun color palette for this card, so I wanted to mix blue and pink. With the stenciling, I thought I’d get purple by mixing blue and pink but it was more pink but that’s ok! I just moved on and went with it.

I love the Scallop Flag Tag dies and it’s a great way to anchor images to create a little scene.

To finish this card off, I used two sentiments from this set. One that was the bigger one and then the small one as a supplement.

Be sure to stop by the previous days of inspiration for the Pretty Pink Posh blog!

Ink Blending on Embossing | Honey Bee Stamps

A couple weeks ago, I used this same embossing folder but with copic markers — it was so extra. Here, it’s an easier way to add some dimension to an embossing folder – Ink blending! It just amps it up! I love how this turned out.

Brayer Backgrounds | Trinity Stamps

I always forget to pull out my brayer to create easy backgrounds … ok, to be transparent, it took me awhile to pick out the colors I wanted and realized I needed green for the grass so the dinosaurs could roam the earth. You just gotta make sure to swipe that brayer back and forth so the inks blend together nicely.

No Line Look With Solid Stamping | Pretty Pink Posh

I love the no line look but it does take a lot of time to achieve when you color — but with solid stamping, it does make it a bit easier and you can add some dimension by adding darker colors on the edges of the image.
