Fresh floral wishes

Hello everyone!!

I’m popping in with another card JUST before the deadline for the Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge which the theme of ‘Petals & Thanks’!

I just had to use one of my older Pinkfresh dies – the beautiful Daisy Chain coverplate die from a few years ago. The palette I chose from the Colour Schemes Bible is citrus, limeade, fern, orchid and sweet pea – sweet names! I matched them as best I could to Pinkfresh inks and then selected a few older Altenew inks as well. The flowers and foliage are from the Fresh Florals product sweet and I chose a sentiment from the Playful Petals stamp set – although maybe I should have chosen one that actually says thanks?

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks a bunch

Hello everyone!!

I can’t quite believe we’re almost at the end of November! Where did the month go? I almost missed the window to play along with the Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge which has a most LucieG-appropriate theme of ‘Petals & Thanks’! I’m very thankful I didn’t.

I just received the beautiful Bloomscape product suite from the latest release on Friday and couldn’t wait to ink it up! A few years ago I received a The Colour Schemes Bible which I’ve been turning to more often recently. The colour palette I selected didn’t include any green and I was going to include it as an extra ink for the foliage but then I thought – why not use purple? After all I love the blue/teal leaves that DT members frequently use, why not try something different? I’m rather pleased with how it turned out as I think the palette works so nicely together and I would’ve used the purple instead of the lighter blue had I added a green to the palette.

I also used my Octagon Grid Coverplate die again – this time to cut some satin silver card. It was VERY difficult trying to decide which images to omit from the card – I will have to use them on another card I think!

The sentiment is from the Beyond Happy set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Holiday Sparkle

Hello everyone!!

The Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge theme of ‘Texture & Shine’ is so much fun – I just had to create another card for it!

I inked up the fabulous Deck The Halls stamp set that I snapped up in a sale earlier this year but I hadn’t yet used. It’s such a delicate set, I love all foliage elements! I used my new Octagon Grid Coverplate die to cut regular white card and champagne glitter card and added the thin octagon frames from the glitter die cut to my white frame. I then tucked the foliage elements into the frame. There were a few emptier windows which I turned into shakers!

The sentiment is from a set that was included in the October 2024 Create & Connect event kit.

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 26

Hi there!

It’s Day 26 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

I’m slowly building my Pinkfresh Studio collection and when I saw the Winter Berries product suite, I HAD to have it! It’s retired so it took me a while to track it down, but I’m glad I did – it is a joy to colour!

Today, I arranged all the die cut berry branches in a pail from the Taylored Expressions Antique Pails set and adhered everything to a base layer that I had embossed with a Nellie Snellen folder.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 24

Hi there!

It’s Day 24 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

I’m combining old and new again today! I picked up Pinkfresh Studio’s pretty Folk Snowflake product suite late last year. I’m not sure when it was released. Maybe 2023? I particularly loved the three sentiments that came with the snowflake image – but typically I haven’t used them today! The stamped sentiment is from a rather older Hero Arts set.

For the background, I used Memory Box’s Silent Snowflake Frame die from 2017 and added a few flakes from2015’s Shimmering Snowflakes set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 20

Hi there!

It’s Day 20 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

I’ve been missing creating with my Pinkfresh Studio supplies this month as I don’t have many festive products by them. But today I pulled out a product suite called Joy of the Season which I had as part of the October 2024 Create and Connect event.

I really like the arch design but I’ve been struggling with how to use it. Well today I realised that it would be a perfect frame to showcase a pretty embossed background! I chose the beautiful Pinecones & Berries folder by Spellbinders.

The sentiment is by Poppystamps.

Thanks for stopping by!
