[BLOG HOP] Pretty Pink Posh January 2025 Release - Cake Pops & Shaker Mug

Hello there,

It's day 2 of the Pretty Pink Posh January 2025 Release Blog Hop, and I'm thrilled to be back with this sparkling colorful shaker card showcasing a mix and match of previously released items like the the Winter Mug, and brand new products like the super cute Valentine Cake Pops. And as very often, the color palette was inspired by the shaker material I used on this card: the Strawberry Valentine confetti mix.

I started off by cutting a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, masked the four scalloped edges with washi tape, and colored the panel using spun sugar oxide ink. And I created a pattern using the Layered Heart Sprinkles stencils along with vintage photo, worn lipstick and festive berries oxide inks. I splattered water on the panel, and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add more splatters on my panel, and I did the same with worn lipstick distress spritz.

Next I worked on the shaker mug, and followed those steps:

1. Cut a Winter Mug out of pink cardstock, and used the Valentine Mug Additions heart die to cut an opening out of the mug

2. Cut a whole Winter Mug out of acetate, and attached it at the back of the pink mug using liquid glue

3. Still at the back of the pink mug, I added foam strips all around the heart window and on the rest of the mug as well

4. Poured some Strawberry Valentine confetti inside the heart window

5. Cut a whole Winter Mug out of light pink pattern paper, and attached it to the foam strips to close the shaker mug

I die cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, and here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Valentine Cake Pops - cake pops, bows, sprinkles • Big Valentine Cupcake - whipped cream • Valentine Mug Additions - strawberries, rose, heart stick.

I splattered white ink on all the die-cut pieces, and once everything was dry, I assembled all the elements, and then attached them all on my Eyelet Rectangle panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I white heat embossed "Love" from Valentine Greetings on red cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and attached it to the heart window using foam squares. I attached my panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches sprinkle themed panel using 1mm foam squares, and then to a white card base using liquid glue. To finish the card, I glued a heart on each bow, to add sparkles I added liquid glue on some spots, sprinkled fine glitter on the glue, let it dry, and removed the excess glitter with a fluffy brush.
