More fun with the PPP Winter new release – Joyful Penguin Wishes!

Hello friends! I’m here today with a second card I made with the lovely and cute new Winter 2025 release from Pretty Pink Posh! I shared my first card last week, and today I have another sweet penguin card! Today’s card is part of the huge multi day Instagram Hop for the PPP new release. I love a good Instagram Hop! Be sure to head over to my Instagram post today and leave a comment for a chance to win a prize! Woot!

I feel like these fun new penguins are perfect for both generally Winter cards and for Christmas cards. Last week I made a winter card…. So today I made him a Christmas Santa Penguin. LOLZ. I also made him an igloo at the North Pole, complete with a candy cane decoration for his porch!

My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with pretty red gingham and then a crisp white eyelet rectangle. My card features the brand new Penguin Holder dies, the new Igloo Shaker Dies, and the new Winter Trees! Of course, I also combined in some favorites from the Christmas release! I love his hat – and I always love a candy cane theme….

Here’s the side view of my layers… I die cut out everything and gently inked the edges of the die cut pieces. I used an icy blue to shade the igloo, and then coated it with sparkly glitter. I added white gel pen accents to everything too (of course)!

The candy canes are from the Christmas Holder Additions – they are perfect! In this pic you can better see the igloo too…. The sentiment is from the Christmas Banner Greetings set, and I do indeed think he looks joyful! I die cut a shimmery snowflake for him to hold.

I used black enamel dots for the penguin eyes – I think that makes them look more alive – when they are shiny like that.

Pretty Pink Posh launched their gorgeous Holiday 2025 new release last week and I am obsessed!! Paulina crushed Christmas this year. So many fun things. I enjoyed making three projects to share…. And there is a huge Instagram Hop this week so everyone can showcase their projects. Today is my day on the Instagram Hop – so be sure to head over there and leave a comment for a chance to win a prize. I’m sharing three things today – two cards, and one tag. Let’s get started!

My first card features the completely adorable new GIngerbread Shaker Dies, the brand new Banner Greetings, and more old and new supplies from PPP. I love to mix and match my supplies because everything works perfectly together! My finished card is an A2 white card base, covered in red/white gingham, a white layer, and then my fun elements. I used traditional colors of red, white and green. Little pops of silver too! This card is definitely a more is more! He is swimming in a cup of hot cocoa and loving it! Hee hee.

I think he is just the cutest thing ever! I gave him a Santa hat and a heart… Some glitter accents and white gel pen accents too. I used some chalk to give him pink cheeks. I made a big red mug of cocoa with marshmallows and a candy cane. There are so many cute little pieces to add to all your projects!

I used a fresh color palette of orange and blue (perfect for boys) with a touch of gingham.

This card features the brand new Party Flags Dies and the new Stars Stencil and some other favorites from PPP! My finished card is a cream A2 card base, layered with another piece of cream cardstock, stenciled with stars, then those festive flags!

I started by stenciling soft yellow stars onto a cream background. I wanted the whole look of this card to be soft. I splattered on some gold paint and set that aside to dry. I die cut out my party flags using pastel cardstocks, and die cut the cupcake out also.

CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL SUPPLY LIST FOR TODAY’S PROJECTS!

The cupcake icon is part of the flags set! Adorbs. I used the new Scallop Flag Tags to die cut a little gold scalloped edge for my flags – I love how that came out! I used Woodgrain cardstock for the flag sticks….

Hi friends! Happy 2025! How was your new year’s? I hope you had some fun and gave a toast to a sparkling new year! Man, the time sure does fly nowadays. I can’t believe it’s 2025 already. Some of my friends and I were talking about the big party we went to on NYE 1999 and how it was a big deal to go forward to a new century…well, here we are! I’m hoping this is a great year for everyone! Happiness, Health, Prosperity, and CREATIVITY!

I’m here today as part of a big blog hop to celebrate the new 2025 Valentine Release from Pretty Pink Posh! It’s a favorite release of mine all year – everything is always so fun and cute. And this year is no different! I’m sharing two projects today, and then I’ll have another project next week for the Instagram Hop too! Let’s get started!

My first project for today is an adorable candy treat box Valentine featuring the brand new Fox Holder dies, the new Valentine Holder additions, and more! I used the (fan favorite) Birthday Treat Box for my treats! Such a fun project – I always like making treat holders/boxes. To make this was very simple – I die cut out all the Fox parts from colored cardstock and assembled her. I added rosy pink cheeks and I drew on some eyelashes. Added a gingham bow for her hair and a gingham heart to hold in her cute paws…. To make the box I used pink cardstock and pink gingham to line the back. I put candies in a cello bag and tied it with twine… A few gems to finish off! I used cream cardstock instead of vivid white…. I can’t wait to make some more of these.

CLICK HERE FOR THE SUPPLY LIST FOR TODAY’S PROJECTS!

For me, it’s always about the little details…

The sentiment is from the new Valentine Greetings stamps and matching dies! LOVE.

My card for today features the brand new Fringe Heart dies and the brand new XOXO Pierced plate… I used shades of pink, kraft and gold for kind of a vintage look. My finished card is an A2 Cream card base, layered with kraft and vellum. The Fringed Heart dies are large, and take up the whole card front – which I love!! I added some pretty ribbon the the top. Finishing touches are gold enamel dots and gold paint splatters too!

Pretty Pink Posh – Holiday 2024 new release – Let it snow!

Hi friends! I'm so excited this week because it finally cooled off and it feels like Fall! This makes me giddy with excitement! The house is cool in the mornings and we can cozy up and have our coffee and watch the leaves fall from the trees across the street. I am renewed!! But, alas, we are also at the same time making all kinds of Christmas projects! Today is a big Instagram Hop to celebrate the new release from Pretty Pink Posh. If you have Instagram, be sure to pop over and leave some comments for a chance to win a prize from PPP! Here is my card for today's Instagram Hop!

I used new and old supplies from PPP to create a cheerful winter greeting! My finished card is a white A2 card base covered in pretty green stripes. I layered kraft paper (because I LOVE red, white and kraft together)… That adorable hat I made in traditional colors and added sparkly snowflakes and a tweet little birdie…. Such a happy card!

My card for today features the brand new Apple Shaker Dies and the brand new Fall Icons and Fall Foliage stamps and dies. September to me says "apple picking" and "apple donuts" LOLZ. How do you like them apples? Well, I like them very much! My finished card is a white A2 card base. Layered with classic red and classic gingham…. The kraft layer was die cut with the gorgeous Leafy Vines die. (love) I used the Apple Shaker Dies – but not as a shaker! I heat embossed that pretty new sentiment right on the front of the apple… It's SO cute. I stamped, colored and die cut out the little apple from the Fall Icons set and used that as an accent. A bit of twine and some paint splatters make it complete.

Pretty Pink Posh – Halloween New Release 2024 – More Halloween! I want Candyyyyy!

Hello my friends! As promised, I'm back with MORE Halloween projects I made with the awesome new release from Pretty Pink Posh! Yippeeeee! Today, it's all about the candy! Candy corn, and candy buckets! Today is also a big Instagram Hop for the new release, so if you're on Instagram, be sure to pop over and leave a comment for a chance to win a prize!! I have two more projects to show you today and they are both classic Halloween! Bright and colorful and plain old fun. To see my other projects from the new release – CLICK HERE!

CLICK HERE TO SHOP THE NEW PPP RELEASE – HALLOWEEN 2024!

First up is this overflowing candy bucket that looks just like a happy meal pail from years gone by. PPP nailed this concept and this die set is so great! I die cut out a bright orange pail and filled it with lots of candies, stars and more! Just what you want your pail to look like when you get home from trick or treating! I ink blended and stenciled the background in golden yellow and put the sentiment right onto the lid. Lots of glitter paper and glitter glue, some splatters, and white gel pen accents complete the look. Oh and a spider too! Ha. My finished card is an A2 white card base layered with orange and white gingham of course. This card is a party!! All the supplies are HERE or at the bottom of my post.

Here's a side view to see my layers and assembly. And you can see all the shimmer and shine!!

Here is my ink blended and stenciled background layer. The yellow makes it all 'glowy' I think!

I stamped the sentiment directly onto the pumpkin bucket lid…and it fit perfectly. Such a cheery card!

Next up I made some pretty and retro Candy Corn treat bags! I used the new Candy Corn Shaker Dies along with the Halloween Icons stamps and dies and the Halloween Sentiment Strips. I used glassine treat bags and filled them with Candy Corn – it's prefect! The candy corn shapes are lined with gingham papers in the yellow, orange and white color scheme. I filled each section with sparkly gems from my stash and ink blended the white outer shape to match the colors of the candy. I stamped and die cut little pumpkins to put on the twine bows. The sentiments were heat embossed on black paper using white embossing powder – again – keeping it classic. I do really love to make these glassine bags!! I always include some doilies for the right look. The bags were splattered with black paint and then I also added some gems… Can't wait to give these away! All the supplies for this project are HERE or at the bottom of this post.

A close up of the tiny little tags! LOVE!!

That's it (for now) of my projects for the new PPP Halloween 2024 release! Boy, I hope you can tell how much fun I had making everything. Truly a joy to create with these stamps and dies. I am ready for Fall and all the things…. Take care today friends.

Pretty Pink Posh August 2024 New Release Blog Hop – Halloween is here!

Hi ghoulfriends! How are you this lovely late Summer week?! It's so nice to have you visit me at A Blog Called Wanda! If you're new here – welcome! We like to have a good time here! Today is a fun celebration BLOG HOP of the new release for August – Halloween 2024 from Pretty Pink Posh! I am excited to be part of a big multi day blog hop to celebrate the awesome Halloween new release – stamps, dies, stencils, and more! All with a fun/cute/spooky vibe. It's adorable, and bright and cheerful and happy with just a bit of spooky!! Great news -the new release is available for shopping now! Enjoy the hop, and I'm excited to share some cards with you today! I made LOTS of projects and I'll be sharing the rest of them next week. Can't start early enough on the fall crafts!

CLICK HERE TO SHOP THE NEW RELEASE!

If you're new to my blog because of the hop – I would love to have you subscribe to my newsletter! That way, you'll get an email every time I have a new project! CLICK HERE to subscribe now!

My first card today features the awesome new Candy Bucket Dies and the new Stitched Ghosts Dies! Gosh, these dies are SO great! It's a set of buckets that look like the old Happy Meal buckets of days gone by. Such fun memories! I used bright lime green to make a Frankenstein bucket and it came out so cool! I added some cute ghosties coming out of the top and a fun sentiment too! I tried something different and used PINK for my background ink blending! I kinda like it because it's different…. And pink and green is always a winning color combo. I used graphic gingham, white gel pen accents and a few gems to finish it off. The finished card is an A2 white card base. All the supplies are HERE or at the bottom of my post!!

A side view to show the layers and assembly…

The sentiment is perfection!!!

My craft room is haunted! (They're cute though!!) Hee hee.

I ink blended just the top of my white panel and faded to white at the bottom….

My second card is a POP UP card, again featuring those SUPER cute ghosties!! This was the first idea that popped into my head when I saw the ghost dies! A gang of ghosties! I just adore their facial expressions. They are having a GOOD time for sure! I assembled my pop up card base using white cardstock and used orange plaid for the accent papers. I used the new Batty about You set for the sentiment and a bright orange Stitched Pumpkin for the front. Oh, and I couldn't resist a few bats too! This card folds down flat and I would use an A4 envelope to make sure it fits in – since I extended over the top of the back panel. It's hard to see, but the ghosties have glitter accents on them, and cute pink cheeks done with Copics. All the supplies for this card are HERE or at the bottom of my post!

A side view of my layers and assembly…

And a top down view so you can see how I placed them inside the pop up base.

I shaded the pumpkin with a bit of orange ink and a blender brush. White pen accents on everything too!

Here is the card folded down flat for mailing!

My third card for today! I couldn't stop making things! This card features the brand new Bat Shaker Dies and the Batty About You Stamp set!! I chose purple and black for a moody color palette. My finished card is an A2 card base layered with purple plaid! The background of the bat shaker is grey gingham and I filled it with the new Halloween Magic Beads. I stenciled the background using purple and yellow inks… And stamped some extra bats behind the big shaker bat. Can a bat be cute? I think he is! LOL. All the supplies for this card are HERE or at the bottom of my post.

Here's a top down view of the shaker bat!!

The perfect sentiment!!

Well, if this new release doesn't put you in the mood for spooky season, I don't know what will! LOLZ. That's it for my projects for today!! It's so fun being part of this great blog hop!!
