Today is the day for the beautiful new Spring 2026 release from Pretty Pink Posh! PPP Easter is truly one of my favorite releases each year, and this year is no different!

    My first card today features the brand new Chick Shaker Dies, the brand new Large Easter Shadow dies and the brand new Easter Banner Greetings! So many fun new things! Of course I combined the new items with some of my previously released favorites from PPP! I created a pastel scene sure to make you smile!

    My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with Eyelet Rectangles and then my Easter chick popping out of his egg! I die cut all the pieces and gently shaded them with Distress Inks. I used white gel pen, white splatters and chunky glitter as my accents/details. I wanted the eggs to look like those yummy sugared candy eggs. I gave my chick some pink cheeks and a cute bow tie too!

    Here is a side view of my layers and pieces…. The Easter word is die cut from gold glitter cardstock and layered with vellum. I used the new Banner Greetings for the secondary sentiment.

    Next up today is my second card, which features the brand new Stitched Clouds dies and the brand new Spring Holder Additions dies…. These clouds are PERFECT!! The set has three different sizes of two different clouds. I am going to use these again and again and again. I think they’re a staple for any craft collection!

    My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with aqua and then a white layer. I kept my design very clean and simple and graphic. I do love an aqua and red color palette! I die cut out the clouds and the umbrella. I splattered everything with silver ink to look like rain… I added gems here and there and some raining hearts. This is just the right card to cheer up someone!

  • My Punny Valentines!

    Hi friends!! It’s finally February! Gosh, January was 575 days long! I’m glad it’s now the month of LOVE! I have lots of ideas, and as always, I am going to run out of time. Boo. I ordered some cool Anna Griffin dies for Valentine’s Day but they haven’t arrived yet. I’m going to try to make a project with them for this year. If not, they will be Easter projects! LOL. I hope you had a great weekend and that you are not freezing cold! I know so many of you went through that huge storm. I pray and hope you are all doing well.

    Today is my day on The Greetery Blog! Woop! And I’m sharing my cards here too. I made two cards today – Punny Valentines – with a clean and simple card design. My cards feature the fun Hearts at Home Toaster and Clock and the matching sentiments. I used a very basic Valentine color palette – red, white and silver. Both cards are A2 sized white cards….with lots of layers!

    First up is A Toast To Us! Hee hee. That super super cute toaster with poppin up toast! Fun fact about me – I LOOOOOVE toast! Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or Snack! I started by doing loads of white and vellum layers and then popped in a bit of gingham to make it fresh. I die cut out all the elements and gently shaded the pieces using distress inks and sponge daubers. I added white gel pen accents and some glitter too. Even the little lever on the toaster is a heart! Cheers!

    My second card uses the exact same layout and design. But this card features the Hearts at Home Clock dies! I’m Yours For All Time! So sweet! Again I used red and white with a bit of silver. The fun thing I like to do is add hearts to everything. So here I added some red hearts and a few clear gems. Just a bit of sparkle and visual interest. Everything is popped up with foam tape also. Even though this card is clean and simple – it is THICK! Hee hee.

    My first card for today features (one of) the newest additions to the Shortbread Shapes Collection. For this card I used the Shortbread Shapes Scalloped Hearts! OHHHHH these are gorgeous! And the matching Embossing Folder??? LOVE! My card also features the new Simple Valentine Sentiments…and the beautiful previously released Nordic Hearts! I used a pretty color palette of kraft, cream and bright vivid pink! Perfect for a valentine! This card is an A7 size – 5×7.

    I used woodgrain paper for the background embossing and then gently inked over the embossed parts with a small sponge dauber and white pigment ink. Just makes the raised parts pop!! On the cream embossed portion I used Antique Linen Distress Ink to add a bit of color. I also splattered on white paint and added bits and bobs of chunky glitter. It’s soooo romantical!!

    So I had to make at least one non-valentine!! Hee hee. To show you how versatile everything is. Spring is coming fast so I decided to make a pretty, fresh tulip card! This card features another one of the new Shortbread Shapes. This one is called Shortbread Shapes Rectangle Hearts. My finished card is an A2 kraft card base. I layered that pretty Shortbread background and then added tulips and a bow. The sentiment is from the brand new Simple Valentine Sentiments…but I feel like this might be a nice get well card, or just because card…

    Here’s a close up of everything… I heat embossed the sentiment in gold embossing powder for an elegant touch. I gently inked the top part of the cream panel using yellow ink and a blending brush. It’s very subtle, but picks up just a bit of color.

    And my last card for the new release! I went kind of rogue for me! A big bold graphic color palette! Red, cream, black and silver! Usually I love gold, but I switched it up here! This card features the brand new Small Capsule Fixed Borders dies (the black part), and the new Sweetest Frames Capsule Edition…of course along with other beautiful Capsule Collection elements too! I used the hearts from the Shortbread Shapes dies. They are perfection! This finished card is an A2 cream card base, then allllll the layers!

    I used the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder and inked it with black!! Looks really cool. I splattered silver ink all over everything… In this photo you can see the beautiful details of the new stamp set. I embossed with silver embossing powder onto black. The new dies cut out the border perfectly! (Genius)….

    My first card for today features the newest addition to the amazing Market Place Dies – Market Place Lover’s Lane Dies! Heart wreaths, heart garlands, even some tiny doves too! My card also features the new Lover’s Lane Stamp Set – to make different shoppes! I made a sweet little pink cafe with ALL the hearts and all the Valentine colors!

    My finished card is a white A2 card base. I started by die cutting out all the elements, using pink, red, white and silver cardstocks. I added lots of glitter and some white paint splatters too. The details are crazy – those tiny lovebirds holding the banner, the tiny heart wreaths. I absolutely love it all. It was really fun to make this card. I used an arch in the background using grey gingham paper. I added pearls and more hearts as my embellishments. I say – more is more! Hee hee.

    I love to add lots of sparkly glitter to these houses. Just looks so pretty in my opinion! I also coated the heart wreaths with glitter. I placed vellum behind the windows for a frosty look. If I built a cafe, it would look just like this!

    For my second card today I went full vintage! I love that look. This card features lots of different new products – the Coquette Hearts Embossing Folder (Wowza), the Whole Hearted Die (Genius), the new Valentine Gallery Prints (Stunning), and the Filigree Hearts dies. I also used some of our older favorite items from the Greetery! Everything is all inky and splattery and yummy! A vintage color palette of cream, black and peachy pink. My finished card is an A2 kraft card base. I layered a cream panel, then patterned paper, then all those hearts.

  • Pretty Pink Posh – Valentine Ladybug!

    Hello there my sweet little ladybugs! How are you today?! I hope this week is going great for you. The sun is finally shining here – dang we have had a lot of rain! The sunshine feels good and I am in the mood for Springtime! The good thing about January is that things get back to normal and our usual routine… I kind of like that actually. Started a new Theology class, my meetups are going again…. It’s all good. The only thing is that I wish I had more time for crafting!! (So many projects, so little time!)

    Today I’m part of the giant Instagram Hop for the PPP new release! Be sure to pop over to my Instagram page to leave a comment on my post for a chance to win a prize! Of course I’m sharing my card here too! I used products from the brand new Pretty Pink Posh January release. My Lucky card from the 5th was also part of this new release – it’s so good.

    Today’s card features the brand new Ladybug Shaker Dies, the new Banner Greetings dies and stamps and the Lovely Ladybugs stamp set. I combined the new items with some of my older favs. Don’t you love how everything works together perfectly from every release? My finished card is a white A2 card base. I layered on black gingham and then two white panels (eyelets and then the XO plate)…. The focal point is of course that giant Ladybug!

    Here’s the side view to show you all my layers! I die cut the XOXO plate and then trimmed it to fit inside the Eyelet Rectangle. It adds another layer and some visual interest while still being all white! I splattered on some black paint splatters too. The flowers are white with yellow ink blending and then Stickles on the yellow centers.

    I felt like this little lady needed a bow of some sort! Ha! She is so perfect for Valentine’s Day with her heart spots and heart feelers. I dunno, a bow just seemed like a good idea! Red gingham for the win.

    Hi everyone! It feels so good to be back crafting, sharing, blogging…. I have lots going on in my craft room already this year! It was nice to have a bit of rest over the holidays and it’s nice to be back working too! All the new valentine releases are coming at us fast! And I love it! Remember at Christmas time, I shared with you the awesome craft kits from Concord and 9th?? (CLICK HERE TO SEE) Well, guess what? They have a super cute Valentine release – from Crafted by C9! It launched officially on Monday, and everything is available to purchase now! There are five kits total and you can purchase all five of them for $120!! Or purchase each one that you like, or multiples of some, or whatever your heart desires. These are the CUTEST projects! And, just like the Christmas ones, they are the highest quality and SO well curated and thought out. The perfect thing to buy and have for a Galentine party!! Hee hee!

    Well, lovelies, I put all five of them together and I’m here to share! Lots of pictures in this post, but I wanted to show you everything! I know you’re going to love them too!

    Each kit comes with EVERYTHING you need! Even down to the glue and tape…. The only think I used was my own scissors! They thought of every last detail. Each kit comes with a QR code to scan and that leads you to both written instructions and a short charming video explaining each step of the creative process. Easy for a beginner or an expert crafter – and all ages!!

    First up is the Letterbox! Like seriously I cannot stand it. The most adorable mailbox you ever saw! The cardboard shape is incredibly sturdy and thick and the addition of those pink ‘rivets’ just make the entire thing…. The stickers and all the supplies to make the heart garland come in the kit also. I forgot to take a photo of the bottom – but the bottom pops out (easily) so you can put little letters and/or gifts inside of the box. Genius. I AM OBSESSED!!!

  • Pretty Pink Posh – January 2025 New Release! You’re my Lucky Charm!

    Hello my sweet crafty friends! Happy New Year! 2026 can you believe it? Wow! I wish you a blessed and happy and peaceful new year. I hope your year is full of laughter and love, and of course, crafting! We had a crazy holiday season this year with me being back at work full time. I’m like what day is it? Am I supposed to go to work today? Is it the weekend? What day is church? Hahahaha. But, as always, we survived the holidays. Now the sun is shining and it’s time to put everything away and get back to ‘normal’ life! Hope you are doing great today! As the new year starts, we begin crafting for Spring, and I love that. I have lots of awesome Valentine goodies that have already arrived in my craft room. Can’t wait to show you everything!

    I’m here today with a FUN and FABULOUS new release from Pretty Pink Posh. As usual, Paulina knocked it out of the park. This new release is available now. It’s everything you can think of for Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day! I love it all! I made a couple of cards and I’ll be sharing more here and on Instagram. I swear the ideas flow so hard whenever I see what PPP has for us! The products are magic I think!

    For my card today – release day – I am featuring tons of brand new items: The Bear Holder, The new Pinking Rectangles, the new Horseshoe Shaker, the new Lucky to Know You Stamp Set and more! My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with green gingham (of course) and a white layer that I ink blended in golden shades…. You guys know that my kitty cat is named Lucky, because he was born on St. Patrick’s Day and he has big green eyes! He is my lucky charm for sure! Here I made that cutie new bear into a Leprechaun!!

    I stamped that perfect sentiment in green this time! I hardly ever stamp a sentiment in a color – but I think it fits! Of course there are matching dies too – to make it professional and perfect. In this side view you can see all my layers…

    Here’s a close up of that adorable new bear – the newest addition to the holder dies suite! You can make him any kind of bear by changing the colors! I made a teddy bear, but you could make him a polar bear or even a panda! I added pink cheeks and some white gel pen accents. I gave him a classy top hat! Hee hee.

  • Concord & 9th Christmas Cards and Instagram Hop!

    Hey hey friends! How are you today? It’s two weeks until Christmas! (Otherwise known as my husband’s birthday!) SO much happening this time of year, and I am ready and excited. Hope your Christmas preparations are going well and hope that you are enjoying the magic of the season. We’ve been out and about doing things, craft fairs, church events, Christmas lights, meeting up with friends, and of course shopping! Today I am sharing something fun – it’s a big end of the year Instagram Hop with Concord and 9th! I am posting my projects here on my blog too of course, but please head over to Instagram to see ALL the projects! I’m calling this post – cheerful jolly holidays! I have two cards to show you. Everything can be found on the Concord & 9th website!!

    CLICK HERE TO SHOP CONCORD & 9TH!

    My first card features one of my favorite things of the whole season – this adorable stamp/stencil/die combo Jolly St. Nick! He is a giant Santa that fits onto an A2 card, or you could make him into a tag or shaped card. I absolutely am smitten! My finished card is an A2 white card base layered with red and stenciled snowflakes…. Then the Santa image. The stamp set comes with sentiments that fit perfectly onto his beard area. The whole thing is just CUTE! I added glitter glue to the white parts of his hat. I used Concord and 9th ink pads to stencil everything… I hope he makes you smile too.

    My second card for today features the brilliantly pretty Yuletide Lane stamps and dies! You know I love me some Christmas cottages! My finished card is an A2 white card base layered with patterned paper from C9 from a couple years ago…. Then that gorgeous cozy cottage. It’s so fun to mix and match windows and doors and wreaths…. Even perfectly matching snow drifts for the roof!! I’m imagining myself inside watching Christmas movies by the fire with some cocoa…. I love this festive color palette with a bit of blue thrown in for good measure.

  • The Greetery – Joy to the World!

    Good morning friends! Happy Friday! I hope you are enjoying the holiday season. It’s in full swing and it’s coming fast. Christmas will be here soon. I am enjoying the preparations and the work parties, and the wrapping and the decorating! It’s been a while since I worked in an office during the holidays and it’s been fun wearing all my Christmas clothes and decorating our office. We had a wonderful staff Christmas party on Wednesday too. Ho Ho Holidays! I have not been crafting too much. I am taking my own advice and showing myself some grace. I am still getting used to working full time and trying to fit in everything else…..so I’m not putting immense pressure on myself to be creative. I guess I just needed a little break. I do have a pretty project to share with you today though! It’s my turn on The Greetery blog and I used one of my favorite product suites to make this card!

    My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with woodgrain and vellum (I love the mix of textures) and then that gorgeous floral spray. My card features the Banner and Bough suite of stamps, stencils and dies. I also used some other festive greenery and a big gold snowflake. I used Traditional red and green but then popped in some pretty blue for the sentiment.

    I started the card by stenciling the Banner and Bough stencils onto white cardstock using Distress Inks. Then I did the stamped portions and then die cut out the bouquet. Here is my side view to show you the layers… Of course I added glitter and pearls. This card has a bit of an old fashioned classic Christmas vibe….

I think we’re going to a big holiday craft fair and also to the local skating rink to watch the skaters and listen to the carols…. I feel like I just have to cram in all the fun things before the season ends. What are you up to this weekend!! Love ya! XOXO
