Pretty Pink Posh | Birthday Blog Hop + GIVEAWAYS

February 10, 2022

Hello friends! Pretty Pink Posh is turning 8 and I am so honored to be hopping along with them to help celebrate and showcase some amazing new products with their gorgeous release that just dropped! I have two projects to share with you today. The first is a box card that features the new Balloon Alphabet Stamp Set along with the previously released Elephant Friends Stamp Set.

** Affiliated links to these products are listed at the bottom of this post with no extra cost to you. **

I made the box portion of the card by hand using a piece of 100lb white card stock, a paper trimmer, scoring board, scissors, and glue. I layered each piece with some Lagoon Color Essentials Card Stock from Spellbinders as well as some pieces of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock that I had lightly blended with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink.

All of my images were stamped onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I used all coordinating die sets to cut my images out. For the grass in my card, I die cut some light green card stock using the Lawn Fawn Grassy Hillside Borders Lawn Cuts and blending the tips of the grass with some Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. My sentiment came from the previously released Birthday Friends Stamp Set.

Copic Colors Used:

Elephants: W00, W1, W3, W5
Blues: B12, B16, B18
Pinks: RV02, RV14, RV17
Oranges: YR02, YR07, YR18
Yellows: Y13, Y15, V12
Greens: YG01, YG06, YG17, YG67
Reds: R14, R46, R59

For my second project, I made some fun birthday tags that feature the new Build A Cupcake Stamp & Die Set. I combined this set with the Stitched Banner Duo Set 1 as well as the Valentines Circles Coordinating Dies. I cut out each tag from some Waterfall Card Stock and then blended them with a mix of MFT Caribbean Sea and Summer Splash Premium Dye Inks.

Once again, all of my images were colored with Copic Markers and cut out using their coordinating dies. I die cut a scalloped circle from white card stock to showcase each cupcake. All of my sentiments were heat embossed with Fine Detail Embossing Powder.
