Pretty Pink Posh August 2022 New Release - Trick or Treat Candy!

Hi sweet friends! Are you having a good week?! Are you crafting a lot this week? I've been pretty busy in the craft room this week - lots of good and fun things coming! Our weather has calmed down a bit and I can feel the light changing for fall.... I've been working on something super fun that I will be able to share next week that is alllll fall and Halloween fun too! Anyhoo! I'm here today to share my second card I made with the awesome new release from Pretty Pink Posh for August 2022!! We are celebrating with a huge Instagram Hop today - so if you have Instagram, be sure to head over there and leave a comment for a chance to win some prizes, and to see all the other card makers' inspiration!

My card today is a white A2 card base, layered with black and white and purple! I am featuring the new Candy Treats Dies, Ghost Friends Stamps, and Stars Stencil. I'm also featuring two products from last year's release - the Boo Shaker and the Trick or Treat Dies. I used TONS of bright colors on this card. I think that's one of the best things about Halloween cards - you can just use ALLLL the colors and it looks fun!

 

Here's a side view of all my layers and card construction... 

 

My inspiration for this card was a old timey trick or treat bucket! Like the ones we used to get from McDonalds with that hard plastic and the swinging handle! Brings back such good memories! The other inspiration was the CANDY that went inside that bucket! Lol! The new Candy Treats dies are wonderful. I die cut out the pieces from several colors and glued them all together. I added bits and bobs of glitter...and white gel pen accents!

 

This card has a lot going on!! To make the background I did one of my fav techniques - distress ink blending tone on tone with colored cardstock! I used purple cardstock and then used purple distress inks to ink around the edges. Then I used super dark purple ink to ink the stars stencil over the ink blending. SO cool. I stamped and die cut out the ghosties and colored them with a few Copic Markers.

 

I used the same ink blending technique on the pumpkin - orange distress inks on top of orange cardstock. FUN. FUUUUUN. The pumpkin die is the perfect size for the front of a card, and I use it a lot!

 

I used the Glitter Duster and Rock Candy Glitter on top of some of the candies - looks pretty in person!! (Kind of hard to photo)...

 

I scattered candies all around my card until I got the right look. I die cut the sentiment from silver glitter cardstock. I used glue to add the sentiment onto the bottom of the card. The silver looks pretty against that dark purple. 

Okay friends, now I need to go to Target and get some candy!! LOL. Remember, this card is from the big Instagram Hop happening today! So head over to Instagram and leave some comments!! XO

Adorable card, with colors that make me think of a bag of colorful Halloween treats. I'm not on Instagram, so appreciate seeing cards on your blog. Not seeing IG hops, I'm not as tempted to buy new things, but you've got me interested in the candy set!
