[VIDEO HOP] Pretty Pink Posh - September 2025 Release - Candy Cane Shaker Mix & Match

Hi there,

I am thrilled to be part of the Pretty Pink Posh September 2025 release video hop. The new holiday collection is absolutely amazing, with lots of shakers, additions to a couple of already existing sets, and a mini collection inside the collection with super cute gingerbread items.

Because my project is part of a video hop, please scroll down to the end of this post and check the process video for more details about this hop.

I started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel. I taped it to my sticky mat, and used the Layered candy canes stencils to create a cute and fun background. First, with the stencil A, I applied white pigment ink. Next, I lined up the stencil B on top of my panel and applied candied apple oxide ink all over the stencil. I added a little bit of texture to my panel. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and then used a slim brush to add lots of splatters all over my panel. And to match with the candy canes, I mixed lumberjack plaid oxide ink with water and added red splatters to my panel.

Next, I die cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock and pattern papers. And I always like to add more interest and depth to my die cut elements, so I used matching distress inks to do that and this way bring a little something to each of those pieces. I added white splatters to all my die cut pieces, cardstock and pattern papers.

Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Christmas Holder Additions - snowflake • Christmas Bell Shaker - berries • Winter Foliage - poinsettia, branches, leaves.

Next I created two Candy Cane Shakers, and here is the process for one:

1. Cut a Candy Cane Shaker frame out of red cardstock, added matching distress ink to the edges, matching splatters and white splatters,

2. Cut a whole Candy Cane Shaker panel out of acetate and attached it at the back of the red frame using liquid glue,

3. Still at the back of my red Candy Cane Shaker panel, I attached foam strips all around the candy cane, following its shape, and also on each of the small sections in the middle of the cane,

4. I poured a little bit of Candy Cane shaker beads inside each of the small sections,

5. Cut a whole Candy Cane Shaker panel out of light pink pattern paper, added white splatters to it, and once dry, I attached that light pink cane to the foam strips to totally close my Candy Cane Shaker,

6. I repeated those steps to create the second candy cane.

Next I cut a frame out of a beautiful poinsettia pattern paper from the Letters To Santa 6x6 paper pack by Carta Bella using a Nature Essentials die, and cut another one out of white cardstock. I layered and stuck both pieces on top of each other using 1mm foam squares, but shifted them a bit to get a pretty white border on each side of the frame. Attached the frame to my kraft panel using 1mm foam squares again, the two Candy Cane Shakers right in the center of the frame, and then assembled and stuck the poinsettia pieces and the greenery.

I tied a double bow that I attached right in the middle of the snowflake using liquid glue, glued berries to the branches on each side of the poinsettia, and to make those berries stand out and bring more shine to my card, I applied glossy accents on each of those small red pieces.

For my greeting, I started by white heat embossing "Merry" from Christmas Candles on light pink cardstock. Cut it with the matching die, and then attached it at the top left hand side corder of my panel using foam squares. Next I white heat embossed "Merry Christmas" from Christmas Banner Greetings on the same light pink cardstock, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 1 die, and then stuck it at the bottom right hand corner of my panel using foam squares again. And as a final touch, I applied opaque white paste with a brush at some places to give my card a frosty look.
