PinkFresh Studio

Made in May Card 7

Hello everyone!!

Last year, I rediscovered Pinkfresh Studio products when I attended one of their online cardmaking events and I’ve been growing my collection of their product suites ever since.

Their older products are quite difficult to get hold of in the UK and I know I missed out on a lot of beautiful releases. Happily I was able to get hold of the stunning Breezy Blossoms cling stamp/stencil/die suite. The red rubber stamps emboss beautifully and are a joy to colour!

For today’s card I used the individual images to create a little wreath which actually serves as a frame for the sentiment that is from a set I received for one of their events last year. So I decided I could enter this into the current Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge which has ‘Frame it Up’ as a theme.

Made in May Card 4

Hello everyone!!

Today I’m playing along with the current Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge which has ‘Frame it Up’ as a theme.

I recently uncovered a couple of older Pinkfresh dies that I bought a few years ago so paired one with vellum die cuts from the Flowers for the Soul and Blissful Butterflies product suites. I love using the vellum product suites – so pretty with the gold accents.

Best wishes with Butterfly Bliss

Hello everyone!!

After thinking I wouldn’t play along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week, inspiration struck so here I am!

I knew I wanted to create something a bit different, so instead of two rectangular panels, I cut two flowery shapes which I edged with ink and dry embossed with a Simon Says Stamp folder called Jubilee.

The images are from the new Pinkfresh Studio Butterfly Bliss product suite and coloured using my older Altenew inks.

The sentiment is by the Ton Stamps.

Sakura Hello

Hi there!

Today I’m playing along with this month’s  Pinkfresh Studio challenge which has the optional theme and colour combo. I opted to use the theme which is ‘Floral Frenzy’ – perfect for most Pinkfresh designs!

Today I’m using the Sakura product suite that I picked up from Dies to Die for over Easter. I was fortunate to get the last set as this was released a year ago now – before I really discovered Pinkfresh. I didn’t get the Washi so will have to get that from another store at some point.

I really think this is my favourite Pinkfresh product suite so far – the stamps stamp beautifully with a lovely thin outline – almost like their red rubber cling stamps and the images are so easy to colour with the stencils. I’ve gone with the traditional combo for today’s card but I can’t wait to colour this in different colours – so much fun!

To complete my card I added a lacy vellum die cut, a few gold dots and a sentiment by Creative Expressions.

Pretty Blooms

Hi there!

There’s a really interesting sketch for this week’s challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. At first I thought I may pass on entering this week because nothing sprung to mind immediately. But as is so often the way with crafting, I suddenly had an idea!

I realised that elements from the Pinkfresh Studios Pretty Blooms washi product suite by that I received in the February Create & Connect event kit would work very well. I also used a frame and sentiment stamps from the event kit.

The gold element is a Paper Rose Studio Honeysuckle die cut – I thought the shape tied in nicely with the sprigs on the washi.

Nordic Hello There

Hello everyone!

I was disappointed when a crafty order didn’t arrive as hoped yesterday… but honestly, it’s not as if I don’t have any unused crafty supplies! So my entry for the first Color Throwdown challenge of March uses a new-to-me Poppystamps die set called Nordic Drifting Flowers.

I have to say that I completely overlooked this set when it was released last year. It was only when I saw it used on the Poppystamps website that I knew I had to have it! My inspiration is that very Poppystamps card – and I used Craft Consortium paper in the challenge combo of light brown, blue and dark brown.

I cut the die four times, once in each colour and again from the blue paper and then had a lot of fun assembling the flowers. I used a frame cut using a Pinkfresh Studio die set to house my images which I then arranged…. this part always takes me far too long because I always second guess myself. This time, I took photos of each iteration before I landed on my favoured layout – I think it helped having photos of previous arrangements to look at!

The sentiment is by My Favorite Things.
