SALE!!!! Plus New File & FREEBIE Friday!

TGIF, everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful week.  Can you believe it's already the end of February? Actually, I've been wishing it was the end of March or April lately. I just can't wait for Spring and Summer to arrive.  I've had enough of this Polar Vortex mess!  

Before I get to this week's new files, I want to let you know that I'm having a March Madness sale this weekend..into next week.  You'll have 6 days to shop, and you can save 25% on your entire purchase.  You don't need a coupon code for this sale...the discount will be automatically applied to your order at checkout.


Okay...here's what's new in the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Store.

This week, I created this little set of silly and fun Farm Critters.  I wanted to add a barn, some farmers, and some other farm accessories, but I got a little carried away with creating so many farm animals. So, I'll be adding another farm-themed set in the weeks to come.  For now, this little set is available as Cutting Files (with PNG and JPG clip art files included).


Finally, there's a new FRIDAY FREEBIE in the store. This file will be available as a free download for one week, then it will be moved to the 99 Cent Downloads section of the store.  This freebie includes SVG., DXF, .JPG, and .PNG files. YAY!  


GUEST DESIGNERS NEEDED:  I spotlight a product every Friday in the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons newsletter and here on my blog.  I'd love to spotlight my wonderful customers' projects, too!  If you're interested in making 1-2 projects for one of my Product Spotlights, please e-mail us at guestdesigner@prettypapergraphics.com. I'd show your project(s) here and ion the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons newsletter, and I'd be sure to link back to your site.  Of course, you'd get free files to use in your projects. I've had some really talented crafters help me out, and I'd love to add you to the list. :) 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Have a wonderful weekend, and have fun shopping the SALE! :)

Design Team Day ~ Feb. 25

Happy HUMP day, everyone! I'm so excited that it's time for another Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Design Team Day.  Before I show you the amazing projects my DT created using PPPR files for this week, let me show you the little card I created:


I created this simple little shape card using the PPPR Ouch Cutting Files set.  I added a fun little sentiment from Pink By Design's Heat Things Up stamp set.  I think it's the perfect sentiment for a friend with a broken heart.  I embossed the front of the card with my Woodgrain embossing folder from The Paper Studio. Then, I added some grungy ink, some doodles, and some enamel dots to finish off the card.

Here are the beautiful projects from my super talented DT ladies.  It would be awesome if you could stop by their blogs to say hello and leave a little bloggy love for them. :)

PPPR & MCT Co-Blog Hop

Happy Saturday, everyone, and welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and My Creative Time Co-Blog Hop.  Some of the Design Team members from PPPR and MCT have joined together to make some fun and adorable projects using files from PPPR and stamps from MCT. You don't want to miss one single project, so be sure to visit each and every blog along the way. Plus, hopping along will allow you to enter to win some FABULOUS prizes!

I just love the stamps from Emma over at My Creative Time!  There are so many fun sets in her store, and it was so hard to choose which set I wanted to feature in my projects today.  I finally settled on Just A Little Note To Say... because there are so many fun sayings that can be used with tons of different images and for different occasions.  Here's what I created with this adorable set:


I just love how well this cute little hedgehog from the PPPR Forest Critters Cutting Files set goes with this sentiment...so cute!  I'll link all of the products I used in my projects later in this post, but I do want to say that I added some Glossy Accents to the little hedgehog's eyes, some chalk to his cheek, and I embossed his quills.  I just love how he turned out!


I couldn't resist using this fun sentiment with the little doughnut and doughnut holes from the PPPR Breakfast Sweets Cutting Files set.  I printed and cut the little guys, but I added some fun touches to them with my white gelly roll pen.  I also added a little pink jute twine and some enamel dots to add some texture to the card.

Here are the main products I used in my two cards:




Now, how about some BLOG CANDY????


One lucky hopper will win a $20.00 Gift Certificate to Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and another one will win a $20.00 Gift Certificate to My Creative Time.  How exciting is THAT?  For a chance to win, all you have to do is be a follower of each blog in this hop and leave a comment on each blog letting us know you are. Be sure to leave your email address.

For extra chances to win, you can also "LIKE" Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons on Facebook and My Creative Time on Facebook.  Be sure to leave a separate comment letting us know. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Your next stop on the hop is Leanne.

Design Team Day ~ Feb. 12, 2014

Hey, everyone!  I hope you all are having a wonderful Wednesday!  It's time for another Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Design Team Day, and I'm excited to show you the beautiful projects my talented DT members created.  But first, here's my project for today:


I created this card so it measures 9.25" by 4", so it will fit perfectly in a letter sized envelope.  The cut is from the new PPPR Friends Forever Cutting Files set. I added some ink, white pen doodles, a pretty ribbon, and some enamel dots, and my simple little card was all done. :)

Okay, here are the fun projects from my amazing Design Team. It would be wonderful if you could pop over to their blogs and leave a little bloggy love for them. :)
