Support Small Cardmaking Businesses YouTube Series: Pretty Pink Posh

I've been thinking a lot about how hard it is for small businesses to survive during these unprecedented times. I support local businesses by ordering take out when I can, shopping at small grocery stores and more, but I wanted to do something specifically for the small cardmaking businesses that I know and love.  So I've started a brand new YouTube Series. Each week I will highlight a small papercrafting business I know and love. I will purchase several products and then share how I use them. First up this week is Pretty Pink Posh.
I've loved their sequins ever since their business began! Now they also have the cutest stamps, dies and even stencils!
This week I am using their Layered Cloud Stencils, Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set and several sequins to create two different cards. Check them both out here in this video:


If you are interested in any of the supplies I used they are all linked down below. Stay safe, stay healthy and keep supporting those small businesses when you can!
Much love,
