EBE SUMMER OF STAMPING RELEASE 3 NOW LIVE

A darling release, Summer Circles, by Pretty Pink Posh exclusively for the Essentials by Ellen Summer of Stamping is now available in the shop and we’re hopping on Instagram with some FAB inspo and prizes to be won!

To enter the giveaways, follow the hop, which begins HERE on the Ellen Hutson Instagram and leave some comment love along the way!

Below, I’m sharing still shots of the projects I created for the release page with this set—I’m so pleased with how they turned out!

feat. SUMMER CIRCLES BY PRETTY PINK POSH FOR ELLEN HUTSON

The beach-themed images in the set are so fun! I watercolored the images before cutting them out with the matching die (sentiment borrowed from Good Day) I’ve been watercoloring most of my projects of late, but this would also be adorable if you white embossed the images on bright colors of card stock and kept the same layout!

I ink blended Limoncello ink onto some Color Me Strips for a quick and easy accent. BOOM!!!

feat. SUMMER CIRCLES BY PRETTY PINK POSH FOR ELLEN HUTSON

These images and the matching dies are just begging to be made into shaker tags! Used these adorable tiny gold and iridescent stars for the bits inside—love how they sparkle! (borrowed and attached the “hanging tag” from the Shaker Globe)

More of those Color Me Strips used here, but scroll down to the final photo and you’ll see this card has a super fun twist to it!

feat. SUMMER CIRCLES BY PRETTY PINK POSH FOR ELLEN HUTSON

I used the “sun” shaped and circle dies that coordinate with the stamp set to create this window on the front panel for the sunshine to peek through! It’s nigh impossible to see that detail in a flat-lay, so I tried to take an angled shot this way so you could see the fun peek-a-boo effect! AND, heck yeah, it still will fit into a standard A-2 envelope for mailing! (fist pump)

CAN YOU HEAR ME MONKEY CLAPPING???!!!

MAKE A HOLIDAY SHAKER TAG

feat. MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS / SHAKER GLOBE DIE

There’s always more than one way to make a shaker, but this one is an easy favorite! I’ve been asked how to get the woodgrain base on the snow globe and it’s honesty very simple, but some things are easier shown than explained, so enjoy the video here or feel free to watch over on YouTube.

I had planned on reserving these tags for adorning my granddaughters’ packages under the tree, but a little 7 year old was giving me those puppy dog eyes and, well, what’s a Nana to do? She caves, that’s what she does. Because they’re made of paper, and she knows she’ll just have to make more when Christmas rolls around . . . •chuckle•
