Spring/Summer 2015 PPPR Design Team Call

Hey, everyone!  I'm excited to let you know that I'm having another Design Team Call.  Design team members will help me showcase my Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons cutting files, clip art, and digital papers.  I have a few spots opening up on the team, and I'd love to add some other talented crafters to our group.


Here's the details about my DT Call:

For the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Design Team, I'm looking for crafters who:

1.  Are willing and able to use svgs/cutting files, clip art, and digital papers on projects.
2.  Have a blog where they post regularly.  Showcasing projects in well-lit, well taken photos is important.
3.  Are active on Facebook.  Pinterest, Twitter, and YouTube are pluses, too!
4.  Are able to post a project that uses PPPR files at least every other week on my blog and their own.
5.  Are willing to participate in at least one Blog Hop per month for Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.
6.  Are not members of Design Teams for other similar companies/businesses that focus on cutting files.
7.  Are able to serve for at least 6 months, starting April 2015.

Design Team members will regularly receive free files and discounts from www.prettypapergraphics.com.  

Here's what you need to do if you're interested in being a part of the PPPR Design Team:

1. Choose 3 of your favorite projects.  They can be projects you've created in the past or new ones you make just for this DT Call. Be sure you include projects that show off a range of your talents, including your use of svgs/cutting files, clip art, and/or digital papers. I'd love to see a project using PPPR files, but that's not a requirement. :) 
2.  E-mail the following information to dtcall@prettypapergraphics.com:
  • Your name
  • Short bio (just tell me a little about yourself...family, work, hobbies, what you love...anything you'd like me to know)
  • Links to your blog, Facebook page and/or profile, Twitter page, Pinterest, YouTube channel, etc.  
  • List other Design Teams you belong to (past and present).
  • List any craft-related forums, communities, or Facebook groups you are a member of (where you might be posting your PPPR projects).
  • What type of electronic cutter(s) you use
  • Attach photos of your 3 projects (mentioned above).  Include links to the blog posts of the projects, if applicable.
  • Attach a photo of yourself that I can post on my blog if you are chosen for the team.
Applications are due by Sunday, March 22, 2015, at 11:59 pm CST.  New Design Team members will be notified by e-mail and then announced on the PPPR blog on Wednesday, March 25, 2015

Whew...I think that's it!  I hope some of you want to join the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons team.  I can't wait to see your projects!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!

You have made my day!




Good Morning!

Hope you are having a great week.  I've got a cute card to share with you today.  I made this card to send to a friend who gave me a bunch of recipe books and a really nice butcher block.  I thought since she made my day, I would make hers.  I plan on including a Starbucks gift card with my card as well.


For my card base I used the A2 Card Bases 1 Cutting Files.  The Ladybug is from the Lucky Ladybug Cutting Files.  The grass and mushrooms are from the Gnomies Cutting Files.  The sun is from the Day at the Beach Cutting Files.


Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a great week.

Dr. Thank You Card

Hello, Nicole here today to share with you a card I made.  I made this card specifically for a friend of ours who is a surgical nurse.  My middle daughter is thinking she wants to go into the medical field for her future career and our friend allowed my daughter to "shadow" her on two of her work days.  I hope that helps you understand my card better now -


I used one of the Dr. files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Check Up" cutting files set.


 I used coloring similar to my daughter's skin and hair to make it look as though this will be my daughter in the future :-).  For more details on my card, please visit my BLOG.  That's all from me today.

❤*{Hello Friend}*❤

❤ I'm sharing this fun friend card with you today. I love making cards about friendship, I'm blessed with some of the best friends out there. I know everyone says that, but my friends are pretty amazing. 

I created this card using Photo Frames 1 Cutting Files and Peppermint Cutting Files. I was pretty excited to use a ton of pink too. I don't get that excited about pink, but for some reason this card was very fun to make. 


Here's a close up of the adorable peppermint and frame. 


You will want to check back tomorrow, you'll want to see what Lisa created and is going to share with you! 

Happy Thursday!❤
