Pretty Pink Posh June Release Blog Hop & Giveaway!


Hi and thanks for stopping by! It's a great day for a visit because today is the third and final day of a three day blog hop featuring the new Pretty Pink Posh release! If you're hopping along you should have reached me from 
Marine Simon's blog. If' you'd like to start at the beginning and get all the details you'll find them here at the Pretty Pink Posh blog.
If you're looking for a taste of summer about now I can't think of anything sweeter! This release features citrus, strawberries, watermelon and an entire fruit salad of yummy images.
My card starts with a Stacked Edges background in lemon / orange citrus colors. I love these stacked borders because they fit together like puzzle pieces and the completed panel is smooth and flat. I topped the panel with a Scallop Frames rectangle die cut that's exclusive to the shop and then added Copic colored citrus.
I love the different sized leaves, flowers, and whole fruits and slices. It's crisp sweet sour goodness that has me thinking of iced lemonade or how about a lemon iced tea?
Ready to see more projects made with the new release? Your next stop is 
Lauren Taylor. But before you go... make sure you leave a comment because you have to comment to win!

Giveaways!
There are 3 $30 gift certificates up for grabs (one winner each day). Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 6/14//2023. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

Chasing Sunshine

I sure hope your summer is off to a good start and you're taking advantage of the long sunny days! Remember there's nothing wrong with watching the clouds drift across a clear blue sky!
One of the simple pleasures I've recently rediscovered is kite flying! It's a little effort to get the kite up in the air, but once it is you'll delight at watching it drift this way and that as it catches the air current! I'm always amazed at how high they can go! It's almost as if they have a life of their own.

This card made with the Pretty Little Studio Sunkissed Collection is a great reminder to enjoy every moment of a beautiful summer day. If you look close you'll see the sticker sentiment I added to one of the clouds on the card. It says "Some of the best memories are made in flip flops".
I love how the papers mimic a rainbow, the different colors and patterns on the clouds and swoon the faux stitch clear stickers in this collection.
Here's to sunny skies and long summer days!

Waffle Flower June Release Blog Hop and Giveaway!!!

Welcome to the Waffle Flower June Release Blog Hop! We're so excited about this interactive release and know that you will be too! We've also got the latest "flower of the month" - the Sketched Rose, and some hugs too! I’m happy to be hopping with the folks from Waffle Flower to show you all the fun new stuff awaiting you this release! Be sure to check out each stop in today’s blog hop for fun, inspiration, and chances to win some of these new release goodies! If you're hopping along you should have reached me from Dana Kirby's  blog. If you 'd like to start at the beginning and get all the details, you'll find them here at the Waffle Flower Blog.
The Sketched Flower series is really pretty and has lots of possibilities. You can stamp or gold foil the image - the coordinating die will cut BOTH! Then you can color the image with your favorite media or use the coordinating stencil to ink it with your favorite inks - or maybe add some glitter or embossing paste details? It's up to you!
Here is a sample of six different cards I've made with each month's release. They'e really big bold and beautiful blooms.
The NEW Pop Up Heart die can be inked wih the coordinating Duo Tone Heart Stencil - I think this one looks like Valentine conversation hearts. The Waffle Flower mini blending brushes make it easy to color small areas of a stencil without overlapping into other colors. When you're done inking you can bend the heart cut outs so they stand up! I put gold foil behind mine so it peeks aroun the edges.
Inside I added some hugs and kisses with the new Pop Up XO's Die. To color theletters I masked them with sticky note and brushed on Distress Ink.
These Happy Gnomes are from an older set. I used them to create a scene card so I could make a sample using the new Inside Pop Up Hinges die.
This set of dies make it easy to add images or words to the INSIDE of a card and, and they pop up when you open it!
These are the new Stacking Boxes. Each of the little presents comes with a die cut lid and it's very own bow. A coordinating stencil makes them easy to add patterns to. I cut mine from colored cardstock and then added coordinating ink in a darker shade.
There is a pop up set that coordinates with these little presents too so when youopen the card, it reveals another stack of boxes!
This is the Retro Hugs set. It comes with the corner hugs and word sentiments.
There's also a stamp set with lots of hugs sentiments to coordinate with the Oversized Hugs word die. I stamped them in lots of bright colors to make a background.
Inside is a fun Pop Up Hugs sentiments. I cut the letters from colored cardstock and LOVE the little hearts on each letter.
Finally some Bear Hugs for you. The arms of the bears wrap around each other and then swing open to reveal the inside.
The Tiny Diamonds background is also new in this release!
