August 2015 Release

Hello there!

Today I have the new August release and boy, am I excited to share these new products. This month, I have three new die sets, along with five new iridescent sequins that are exclusively in the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. In addition to that, we have new sequin mixes that you are going to love.

For my first card, I wanted to showcase the Storybook 1 die set. This is the first die where I added dual stitching, meaning you’ll get stitching on the outside of the die cuts in addition to the inside die cuts. I am a huge fan of stitching on dies (hence almost all of mine having it) and am really excited to be adding this versatile die to the shop.

There are so many possibilities with this die set. I initially designed this set to be used to create little scenes, but you can use it in other ways as well. I love that you can use it both as a negative (for shaker cards or scenes), or you can use the inside dies for smaller stamps and sentiments. As you know, I always try to creative unique and versatile dies and I truly think this fits both categories!

For the stamps on this sweet card, I used one of the butterflies from the Fancy Flutters set and paired it with the Solid Leaf Vine (both from DeNami Design). I then added a sentiment from Mama Elephant and for the finishing touch, I used the variety of Sparkling Clear sequins from the new Sparkling Clear Mix.

You all have been asking for a mixture of the Sparkling Clear sequins and it’s finally here. Since I’m a one woman show, I definitely hear all of your requests and if I think it’ll be a good addition to the shop, I try my best to make it happen. If you ever have requests, always feel free to submit a comment using the contact form here on my blog.

On my second card, I created a sweet and simple little scene using some of my favorite critters. The new Stitched Speech Bubbles are perfect for adding sentiments to your cards, while making it look like the animals are talking to you, or each other.

This little scene was created using the Stitched Duo 2 rectangle, along with the Picket Fence and my favorite grass die by Lawn Fawn. To finish off the scene I added some flowers from the new Summer Flowers Mix, a sprinkling of Sparkling Clear sequins and then some yellow chevron ribbon.

I’m happy to announce that I got a new computer (after my old one crashed), along with a video editing software, so there’s a video to go along with this release. Watch the video to see a closer look at the new products and hear how some of the die designs were inspired.

I’m still working on figuring the ins and outs of the program, so the lighting and editing still needs a bit of fine tuning for future videos…

Be sure to mark your calendars for August 6. I have planned a super fun blog hop that will showcase the new dies and sequins and I’m bringing along the design team and some amazing special guests.
