Two fun projects to celebrate Pretty Pink Posh’s 10th birthday!

Two fun projects to celebrate Pretty Pink Posh’s 10th birthday!

Welcome to Day 2 of the Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop to celebrate their 10th birthday! Today I’m sharing two cards inspired by the colors of the Berry Smoothie Shaker Beads.

For my first card, I made a star-shaped shaker window using the Party Balloons Dies, along with four other balloons to coordinate.

I filled up the shaker well I created using Shaker Strips and this card was done!

For my second card, I combined some of the star balloons from the Party Balloons dies along with the Star Cover Plate die. I used the negative space to add the three hearts and then just eye-balled the placement for the three striped star balloons.

    Dear Cathy – Oops!! I should have written that these (plural) are brilliant cardS. I am sorry! I DID see both cards. I guess I was distracted by trying to do 3 things at once. Anyway, they’re both beautiful.
