We had a big release on Monday from Pretty Pink Posh. Combine that with Uniquely, 49 & Market, and more and Sharon had a lot to share. Halloween was the theme for Pretty Pink Posh (PPP) and the collection was large and adorable so let's get started. First up is this cover-late featuring pumpkins. You can do so much with this and it's great for a shaker.
One of the stamp sets from this collection, it's batty!
I'm a sucker for every kind of sprinkles, beads, clay pieces, sequins, you name it. This is one of PPP's sprinkle mix for Halloween, and we have more!
Waffle Flower is going to sneak in here with their bookmark die and their sewing dies.
I used to do counted cross stitch on perforated paper. If you use these dies to sew, use a heavier weight paper like a 110lb.
We have a portion of Tim Holtz Ideology stamps in. These are mounted red rubber stamps.
These are bags that feature the Distress Ink colors. I love a good rainbow mix. You can use these little pouches for whatever, your supplies, your make-up whatever. The small one is 5X8 and the larger one is 6X10.
PhotoPlay has this great SPOOKY die that we have in some samples coming up. We also have a great phrase set for the inside of your cards.
We also have the Sizzix stand magnet back in stock. I have one on my work surface and it is so handy for the smaller dies that seem to run away like Silly Putty when I'm not looking.
Here comes the rest of the PPP release. We're starting with this vertical word stamp set and this mini icon set of Halloween stamps. The icon set has a matching die.
Next is the Halloween Cupcake die set. Everything you need to make ghoulish looking cupcakes.
Another in a series from PPP is this railroad stamp set. You can bet your Santa's list there will be a Christmas version coming.
Let's get batty with this bat inspired stamp set.
Candy dies for your Halloween bucket.
I believe this is an add-on for PPP's mug set. You need the mug die and you can create a Halloween themed mug and a mug with a cauldron shaker cut out, so many possibilities.
This candy corn border is more versatile than it may look. You can cut it out in the three traditional candy corn colors. You can cut it out in white and color each piece with Copics. You can use the individual die to cut out mutlipte color layered pieces and layer them over you white strip, AND you can use non-traditional colors too!
These are a chain of spider webs.
Ghosts of several sizes. Mona made several really cute samples with this set that you will see later in the post.
The larger ghost that you can put a treat box, a pumpkin whatever, in it's arms.
We're back with the pumpkin cover plate.
I love this bat die so much I went back to buy one after I saw one of Mona's samples.This makes a great shaker! (as you will see).
PPP has four stencils in this release. First is the Halloween wreath stencil.
Bats are up next.
Birch trees in this multi-layered set.
Halloween word stencil.
Great die sets next starting with this large candy corn set that make a really great shaker.
What's Halloween without some little monsters?
This is the candy bucket die set. All kinds of possibilities. Another great die for a shaker.
Next up is these chipboard shapes that we've had before. Mona is working on the Halloween version and we'll have an update next week. These are great accents for tiered trays.
Moving on to papers. This collection from Uniquely has cut apart, two sided papers, die cuts and more,
We now have Steam Punk Graffitti
...and more masculine guy papers.
A scalloped and a straight line die set that fit the classic cut-apart pages perfectly..
More dies and stamps from Uniquely, a dandelion.
These smaller stamps are great for junk journals and decorating scrapbook pages.
Sharon is showing her 'rolling' method. She inks the stamp then rolls it on in the areas she wants vs. pressing down for a full image.
Paper Rose has these lovely Jolly Holidays papers. We have pads, sheets and additional ephemera pieces.
Dies from Paper Rose
This next one is a bit different. Can you tell?
49 & Market has a new collection, Vintage Orchard.
I confess, I already bought this one. I love their page kits.
More guy papers.
Lots of add-ons for this collection.
Papers that are boing used in Christmas Quick Start along with the Christmas tree die. You get all of these plus the die and you'll get to create with the store owners as they go.
These are add-ons to the papers above but they are not included in the Christmas Quick Start kit.
I've got a selection of Mona's samples using PPP's new release. Mona created a ghostly box card featuring the ghost die set with a variety of sizes.
Mona used these ghosts again along with that SPOOKY die from PhotoPlay. The paper is from the AALL & Create paper pads we featured last week. You can see the paperback in the next photo.
PhotoPlay's "Lil' Boo Thing" featuring pink Halloween images was Mona's inspiration for this next card. Mona used sheets from the solid cardstock add-on set.
The stamped image came from this PPP stamp set.
Mona shared her trick for placing multiple die cuts when you want to layer your images so that the most prominent is in front. Basically, she arranges her elements and then uses her low tack yellow Spellbinders tape to hold them in place.
She then can turn her taped piece over and apply glue to the back side, flip it back so the tape is on the top, place it where she wants on her card. The glue will hold them in place and then you can lift off your tape.
Mona had another great tip or two for this bat shaker card. I'll share them in a couple of pictures.
Here is a sample of the papers in the 'Lil' Boo Thing' paper pack,
This is the solid pack. The pink, orange and dark pink have a glimmer finish.
1st TIp - use sheets of craft foam in a matching color to create dimension when popping a larger area. You can see below a strip of pink foam covered with score tape. When she adds that to the pink paper of the bat shaker it makes the edge that you might see coordinate better with the color paper used.
You can see here where Mona tapes the inside smaller die to the outside larger die. This gives her a consistent number of multiple frames for her shaker. When you have a shaker image that has a lot of curves or smaller sides, attaching foam strips can be difficult. by layering multiples of your shaker frame you create the height you need for your shaker bits to move easily. Tip #2 & #3!
Here is the box die completed.
You can see the box from two angles below. Looking down from the top and looking straight on.
Lastly, Sharon quickly shared this Gold Assorted Pack. Great for your upcoming Christmas cards.
A final photo of Mona's cards. I have to admit, her samples sold me on pink themed Halloween cards.
That is it for this post. They don't seem to be getting any shorter! I have to search for a funny. I'm running out! Hopefully I haven't used this one before and it is appropriate for all the Halloween in this post.
Have a great week everyone. Enjoy the cooler temps, I know I will. See you next week and until then stay crafty and above all Stay Safe!
