Pretty Pink Posh 5th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop


Good morning! I'm thrilled to be part of Day 3 of the 3-Day birthday blog hop to celebrate Pretty Pink Posh's 5th Birthday! See below for the full list of today's blogs!


I made a clean and simple card using some of the goodies from the January release, and a video with some tips for creating a frame for a die cut when you don't have the die in 'the next size'.

I started by cutting the new Decorative Tag 2 die in white and black. I stamped one of the Crocus Flowers and a partial sentiment from Simple Sayings Courage onto the white tag and then I coloured the flower with Copic markers.

To create my frame, I simply snipped the black tag right across, and then glued each end so that it was extending beyond the edge of the white tag. I popped the combined tag up on a soft gray card base and then added some gems from the new Party Mix Gems for some sparkle.

Here's my video:


Here are today's blog hop participants:



$25 gift certificates will be given to 9 people who comment during the blog hop.
