Hi everyone! How are you today!? How's your week going so far? I'm having a good week, but it's going by way too fast! Like how does time even go this fast?! It's finally starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California and I am absolutely loving the cool mornings! Hope you're doing great!
Today is a HUGE blog hop to celebrate the beautiful new holiday release from Pretty Pink Posh! I'm so happy to be part of the hop and to help introduce the new stamps, dies and stencils. Everything is just wonderful. I think you're gonna love it too. Really puts me in the Christmas and Winter mood! I am sharing two projects today with the new items - a card and some paper ornaments. Let's get to it! Prize information, blog hop links, and the Supply List are all at the bottom of my post.
First up is my Winter Wishes coffee mug card! My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with some stripes and then another white layer. This card features the brand new Winter Mug Die Set, the brand new Pine Wreath Stamp Set, and the brand new Winter Wishes script die! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I mean, coffee and candy canes??? What's not to love!? (because peppermint mocha season is coming soon!)
Here's a side view so you can see all the layers. I die cut everything out first with my favorite cardstock colors.... Then I laid out my design to make sure it would all fit!
That awesome coffee mug is the star of the show, but I wanted more wintery goodness! I stamped and die cut out the pretty Pine Wreath to use kind of like background paper. I die cut the Winter Wishes from rich black cardstock to be in contrast to the other colors. Everything was generously splashed with snow (white paint) to look icy.
I die cut the candy canes and gave them a good coating of my favorite Rock Candy Glitter. I added a bit of ink to the marshmallows and also dunked them in glitter.
The snowflakes and holly leaves also come in the mug die set. THEY are PERFECT! I added some gems and rhinestones from my stash...
Next up, I made some pretty Christmas ornaments using the brand new Pine Trees Dies! These would also be nice tied onto a gift bag or a present! They are just the right size, and really easy to make. These were made using the larges of the three tree dies.
I die cut six pine tree shapes out of really old paper from my stash. Feels good to use up the stash! I used my Scor Pal to score each tree in half and then glued them together - so simple! I used some twine glued in the center so I could hang them.
Here is one of them in my hand for scale!
I splattered all the ornaments with white paint and I also added bits of Platinum Stickles to the tips of the branches. I was going for a nice vintage look. There is no end to the ideas!! Add sequins or gems, ink blending, glitter cardstock.....
Here's the bottom so you can see the construction. I used six panels but you could use any number to get the desired effect.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Glad to have you here! There is also a big PPP Instagram Hop starting tomorrow! I'll have another card to share that I made with the new release! Remember to enter my giveaway that's running until the end of this month (DETAILS HERE). See you soon! XO

I really love both projects Wanda. The mug card is darling, and the red stripe on the back panel shows the mug panel off beautifully. I think the trees would be a good buy as so many possibilities for those.
