Pinkfresh Studio March 2021 Stamp, Stencil, Die, and Hot Foil Release

Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio March Release!  It’s a beautiful one, so lets dive right in to the projects!

I’ve used the beautiful Be Strong stamp set, dies, and stencils to create my first card.  I am a huge fan of stamps and stencils...they truly are so easy to use and create beauty in an instant.  The sentiment used on this card is also from the Be Strong stamp set.  I love it!

In the background, I have used the Geo Leaf Background die over paper from the Keeping it Real 6x6 Paper Pad.  This background die is so intricate and lovely.

Before layering on my florals from the Be Strong stamp set, I stamped a block of cardstock using the Nested Chevron Cling Stamps and added a spritz of water to create some blending and softness.

My next card uses the new Reason to Smile Wreath stamp set, dies, and stencils.  Such gorgeous products and so enjoyable to create with.

I love the word stencils that coordinate with the sentiment stamps found in the set.  I added mine across the center of my wreath, stenciling on a banner die cut.  The tiny flowers and additional leaves and vines are from the new Garden Wreath die set.

Isn’t this sentiment beautiful and one you’d wish to send to everyone you love?  I’ve used the Simply Diamonds die in the background.  I love how it compliments the soft, floral wreath.  

To celebrate this beautiful release, Pinkfresh Studio is giving away the full release on the Pinkfresh blog and YouTube channel.

They will also be giving away a total of TEN $25 gift cards along the blog hop!  So comment on the blogs listed below to be entered into the contest.

Winners will be posted on May 6 , 2021 on the Pinkfresh Studio GIVEAWAY PAGE.  Remember you must check that page & claim your prize within 2 weeks. 

Enjoy the blog hop and gorgeous projects!

Pinkfresh Studio February 2021 Stamp, Stencil and Die Release Blog Hop...

 

Morning and welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio February Blog Hop!  This release is gorgeous and full of such creative products.  My first card uses the new Rustic Floral Wreath Die and Stencils.  

I must admit that I was a bit hesitant to use this combination of products, as I have never used anything quite like them, but I am SMITTEN and crazy about combining stencils with a die cut and loving the results.  Pinkfresh Studio inks create such vivid details and bring images to life.

I’ve also used the beautiful Slimline Layered Starburst Stencils, which may be my most favorite product.  You can catch a glimpse of the gorgeous starburst rays, stenciled as my background on a die cut Slim Stitched Rectangle, followed by a vellum rectangle adhered to the center.

I used a sentiment from the Thankful for Friends stamp set and stamped it on a Fancy Labels Frame die cut.

The lovely, new Friendship Blooms stamp set, dies, and stencils were used on this card.  The stenciling over the stamped, detailed images, creates the most beautiful shading and coloring on these blooms.

My flowers are layered over die cut Stitched Scallop Rectangles and Stitches dies with paper from the Keeping it Real 6x6 paper pad.

The sentiments in the Friendship Blooms stamp set are so sweet and unique....it was hard to choose just one to use on my card.  The soft die cut leaves used on both cards are new also and from the Curvy Leaves die set...they’ve quickly become a favorite of mine :).

As you hop along, be sure to leave comments as you go and you’ll be eligible to win a $25 gift card to Pinkfresh Studio!  Winners will be posted on the Winners Page on February 15, 2021.  You must visit that page and claim your prize within 2 weeks.

Thanks so much for visiting!  It’s been a treat to design with these new Pinkfresh goodies.

Pinkfresh Studio September 2020 Holiday Stamp and Die Release Blog Hop...

Hello!  Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio September 2020 Holiday Stamp and Die Blog Hop!  It's gonna be a fun one!

On my first card I used the adorable, new Pop-Out Folk Christmas Cling Stamp and Dies....LOVE these!

I stamped my images on Kraft cardstock using watermark ink and then heat embossed them using white embossing power.  I added just a bit of color using my Copic markers.  These are such darling images and don't need much of anything to help them stand out!

My sentiment comes from the new Our Home to Yours stamp set (another one you'll love), and the sweet and tiny snowflakes are the new Layered Snowflakes Dies...to die for!

This next card uses the gorgeous, new Ornate Poinsettia Die...it's so beautiful and delicate.  I added my die cut over a watercolor background.

I used the Heather Uppercase Die Collection to create my "JOY", adhering it to a strip of vellum. 

I then embellished with flowers from the Lovely Blossoms stamp set and dies, layering them over beautiful Layered Snowflakes once again.

Be sure to hop along following the blogs below and leave comments as you go in order to be eligible to win a $25 gift card to Pinkfresh Studio.

Pinkfresh Studio August 2020 Stamp and Die Release Blog Hop...

Hello!  Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio blog hop.  Today I'm sharing a couple of cards using the fun, new Color Block Horizontal Stripes stamp set.  It's such a playful, creative product.

I used a variety of Pinkfresh Studio ink colors in shades between yellow and red, with a few shades of pink added in as well.  I stamped my stripes on a die cut Essentials Tag, also a new product.  I stamped my sentiment on vellum using a sentiment from the new Sending Love and Hugs stamp set.  

The pretty wreath around my sentiment was created using the new Charming Floral Wreath stamp set...it's delightful and so much fun to stamp with.  The tiny sentiment at the bottom of my card is also from the Charming Floral Wreath stamp set.

My second card once again uses the new Color Block Horizontal Stripes stamp set as well as the new Color Block Horizontal Stripes die.  I stamped stripes on my kraft base, heat embossing some in white embossing powder, and some in gold glitter embossing powder.  I then added die cut stripes, cut from gold and silver cardstock.  I love the mix of kraft, white, and metallics.

My florals come from the new Sending Love and Hugs stamp set and dies.  I stamped in a combination of Pinkfresh Studio ink along with white and gold embossing powder.  My sentiment is from the new Thankful for Friends stamp set and is stamped on a die cut Essentials:  Fancy Label Frame.  

Across the top, underneath my florals, I used the new Blushing Floral cling stamp, heat embossing it in white.  I love the mix of bold, graphic stripes mixed with soft florals.

Aren't these amazing products!  They sure are fun to get creative with.

Now for the hop!  Follow the links below and comment on each blog.  In doing so, you'll be entered to win a $25 gift certificate to Pinkfresh Studio!  The winner will be announced on August 26th on the Pinkfresh Studio Giveaway Page.  You must check that page and claim your prize within two weeks of the announcement.

Pinkfresh Studio & MISTI blog hop!...

Hello there!  I'm so happy to be joining Pinkfresh Studio and My Sweet Petunia/MISTI today.  Such a delightful collaboration!  I LOVE my MISTI and don't stamp without it :).  I used the beautiful Just Because stamp set and coordinating die from Pinkfresh along with the Mini MISTI to create my card.

I stamped my floral image on watercolor cardstock using watermark ink and then heat embossed it using white embossing powder.  Using the MISTI allows me to stamp my images more than once to get a very nice, clear, image before heat embossing.  I then sponged on ink in soft pinks for the flowers and pale green for the leaves.  I added water and let the magic happen.  I love how the colors blend and change and truly become art :).

My card base was created using Pinkfresh Studio's Slim Ornate Banner Dies.  I just love the sweet scallops across the bottom edge.  On my center layer, I stamped and heat embossed my florals on pink carsdtock.  I love the delicate, lacy feel this gives.  I then added a vellum layer on top before adhering my florals.

I snipped my stamped and die cut flowers apart in order to arrange them on my card front how I wanted.  This is a fun way to use your stamps differently.  My sentiment is from the Layered Bouquet stamp set and was stamped on a die cut Fancy Label Frame.  The MISTI allows such clean, crisp sentiments....love it!  I love the tiny Bar Magnets from MISTI as well.   To finish, I embellished my card using the Essentials: Crystal Mix from Pinkfresh.

Now for the fun!  Be sure to leave comments on all of the blogs listed below...once you do so, you'll be eligible to win a $50 gift certificate for Pinkfresh Studio and My Sweet Petunia!  Winners will be announced on August 14th on the MISTI blog and on the Pinkfresh Studio Winners Page.

Thanks so much for visiting!  Enjoy your weekend.

pinkfresh july challenge...

Hello friends!  I have recently joined the amazing design team at Pinkfresh Studio and I'm so excited to share with you my first project.  I've created a card using the July Monthly Challenge shown above...I love the colors and inspiration shown!

I immediately thought of rainbows when I saw the colors used in the challenge, so I began by stamping and heat embossing using the Pop Out Rainbow Cling stamp set. 

After heat embossing my rainbow stripes, I sponged the colors of the challenge over each arch, then added a bit of spritzed water to help the colors blend.  Next came the beautiful Foliage Frame die, which so beautifully framed in the rainbow.  I then stamped and die cut flowers in assorted colors using the Lovely Blossoms stamp set and dies.

To finish, I stamped my sentiment from the Layered Bouquet stamp set on labels cut using the Fancy Label Frames dies...my favorite, must have item in my stash for adding sentiments!

Be sure to join us for the July Monthly Challenge and you can be eligible to win a $50 gift card to Pinkfresh!  More details here.

Pinkfresh Studio June 2020 Pop Out Stamp and Die Release Blog Hop...

Hello friends!  I'm so happy to be joining Pinkfresh Studio today for their June release blog hop.  

My first card today uses the new Pop Out Diamonds Cling Stamp and coordinating Simply Diamonds Die.  What a beautiful set of products with so many creative uses.

After die cutting a block of cream cardstock, I sponged ink over a few of the individual diamonds in shades of yellow, aqua, green, and pink, and then spritzed water over each.  The area where I added my sentiment was die cut from pink cardstock and stamped in a coordinating ink and then adhered in place.

I then added embossing enamel around the edges of my diamonds, and heat set in place.  Next, I created my card base, added my diagonal die cut cream cardsock, and then with dimensional adhesive, added the watercolor diamonds to the grid. 

The tiny die cut and stamped flowers are also from the Pop Out Diamonds Cling Stamp set.  They are each so sweet.  To finish, I added a soft, sheer floral, die cut from vellum using the lovely Just Because stamp set and coordinating die.

My next card uses the fun, new Pop Out Rainbow Cling stamp.  To create my card I used the Slim Ornate Banner dies, stamping my rainbow on the center layer, cut from cream cardstock.

After stamping my rainbow arches using watermark ink, I added WOW embossing glitter in three colors and then heat embossed to set the glitter in place.  I love the shabby, elegant feel.  Over my embossed rainbow, I stamped florals from the Just Because stamp set once again, this time stamping in Kraft colored ink.

I then added the vellum layer, followed by my sentiment from the Delicate Wreath stamp set, stamped on die cut Fancy Label Frames, and embellished with flowers from the Lovely Blossoms stamp set.  This was such a fun card to create:).

Pinkfresh Studio March 2020 Essentials Slim Cuts Release Blog Hop...

Good morning!  I'm joining Pinkfresh Studio today as they share their March 2020 Essential Slim Cuts Release....these products are gorgeous, unique, and so much fun to work with.

My first card uses the new Slim Ornate Banner dies.  These can be used in so many different ways and combinations.  I created multiple layers with my dies, leaving them slightly loose at the bottom, to create dimension.

I also used a combination of patterned papers, my favorite way to bring in color and character.  My sentiment was stamped using the Delicate Wreath stamp set on a frame created with the Fancy Label Frames dies.  I then framed in my sentiment using flowers from the Lovely Blossoms stamp set and die collection.

This sweet second card uses the new Slim Stitched Scallop Circles Panel layered over the Slim Stitched Rectangles.  Those scallops are so irresistible!

I tucked flowers stamped using the Layered Bouquet stamp set in each scalloped window.

And in my center window I added my sentiment from the Layered Bouquet stamp set, stamped on Fancy Label Frames dies.  I added a few extra flowers from the Lovely Blossoms stamp set as well.

Pinkfresh Studio January 2020 Stamp & Die Release Blog Hop!...

Today I'm joining Pinkfresh Studio for their January release and it's a BEAUTIFUL one!  I used the lovely Just Because stamp set and dies on my first card.  This is such a fun set to color however you love coloring!

I stamped my floral image on a white card base using Raspberry Bliss ink.  I then used the new Foliage Frame die cut from white cardstock, and layered it over my card base.

I chose to color my florals using watercolors and then added in shabby green embossing enamel to add my tiny splatters.  I added my die cut florals over my Foliage Frame, and then added my stamped sentiment to finish.

The sentiments in this set are varied and suitable for lots of sweet occasions between friends.

On my second card, I used the delicate Frame Builder Botanical Circle dies on my card base, which created a perfect spot for my sentiment.

I  used another gorgeous new floral on this card, the Layered Bouquet set and coordinating dies.  I stamped my flowers in Coral Reef, Passion Fruit, and Candy Apple with my leaves stamped in Meadow, Evergreen, and Grassy Knoll.

I created a two-part sentiment using sentiments from this same set in the opening created from the flowers and frame.
