Avery Elle / Critter Tags

Hello!  I am sharing some LOVE for the upcoming Valentine season!  The More Critter Circle Tags from Avery Elle are adorable and perfect for the occasion and more!

***SHOP Avery Elle HERE***

I created a focal point for my cute hippo by using the Holidays Circle Tag Elle-ments.  This panel was added to a top folding notecard with foam adhesive.  The circle area was a perfect place for my hippo!  For the bold sentiment, Love You Elle-ments was done in red cardstock and added with dimension.  A small Strawberry Hemp Twine bow was tied to the Love sentiment and a few red pearls for some shine to finish this card!

Snowflake Season is a beautiful intricate snowflake stamp set.  What better way to showcase them is to white heat emboss on colored cardstock!  They were added to a mini slim card size that was scored for dimension and otherwise plain background.  The card was embellished with silver pearls.

Avery Elle / Cherry on Top

Hi everyone!  

I have a fun play on a birthday card using Cherry on Top.

***SHOP Avery Elle HERE***

With such a large image, I thought it would be fun to pull out the pattern papers from the Holiday Collection Paper Pad to do the PAPER PIECING technique.  After deciding what patterns I wanted to use, the images were stamped and hand trimmed out.  A full image was stamped and the stem colored with matching Copics.  The trimmed images were "pieced" back together and some with dimension.  The cherry image was layered onto a pattern panel that was die cut using the stitched rectangle from Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments.  The sentiments were stamped with bold black ink onto the striped panel with the word "sweet" stamped and hand trimmed out.  To finish this off, a few silver pearls were added.

Supplies:

Pinkfresh Studio / November 2021 Essentials Release ♥

Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio 

November Essentials Release!

So excited to share some of the new "essential" products that I am so glad to have in my stash!!

For all release information please start from the Pinkfresh Studio Blog.

 

***SHOP Pinkfresh Studio HERE***

My first card uses the new Folk Edge Rectangles to make a shaker card!  This set of dies has the decorative "folk" edge but also has layering "plain" rectangles.

I've used the Folk Garden 2 Stencils and Hot Foil Plate in shades of blue and layered them over white Folk Edge Rectangles and tucking some behind the frame of the shaker.  A Brushed Sentiments "Hello" was done in gold foil with the Brushed Sentiments Hot Foil Plate.

*********************

My second card uses the Darling Dahlias Stamp and Stencil Combo.  I'm a huge Rifle Paper fan and have been gushing over their pajamas this season.  (I can only wish as I would never pay that price!)  This card and dark green background was inspired by a pair of pajamas from Rifle Paper!

This stencil set is absolutely GENIUS......to be able to finish a stenciled panel of dahlias with whatever background color you wish!!  With a finished stenciled and heat embossed panel, a series of frames were die cut using another new "essential" die set called Blanket Stitched Rectangles.  I created the background by adding foam dimension behind some of the frames and panels.  The Best Wishes Hot Foil Plate was done in gold foil for the sentiment.  Gold pearls were added as some subtle final touches.

Pinkfresh Studio will be giving away the full release on the Pinkfresh blog & YouTube channel (Instagram giveaway will be later with an Instagram Hop).

-Pinkfresh Studio will be giving away a total of TEN $25 gift cards along the hop. As per usual with blog hops - the winners will be picked from the comments.

Winners will be chosen and posted on November 30, 2021 on the Pinkfresh Studio GIVEAWAY PAGE. You must check that page & claim your prize within 2 weeks.

Today we are showcasing TWO Dawn Machell sets.........Polar Party and Adore Him.

The nativity images from Adore Him are just adorable.  The images were Copic colored, die cut, and layered with cardstock for dimension.  The background was made using the previously released Stitched Burst Cover Panel and Navy Blue Reverse Confetti Cardstock.  A simply stamped black sentiment panel was adhered at the bottom to ground my images.  To embellish, a gold glittery star was added.

*************************************************

My second card uses Polar Party.  

I created the backround by ink blending Tumbled Glass Distress Ink over a panel of cardstock.  Then the panel was die cut using both the Brilliance and Open Drop Cover Panels.  A few images from Polar Party were Copic colored, die cut, and added with foam adhesive to the center shape.  A few snow flake embellishments were added to finish!!

Today we are sharing projects made with the Retro Holiday stamps and Confetti Cuts.

I went very clean and simple with this first card stamping only the outline lines to the star images in black ink onto a white notecard.  To finish this off a layered pink glittered Joy Confetti Cut was added.

*************************************************

This card uses the new Open Drop Cover Panel for texure on the background.  Using the dies from Retro Holiday, a few ornaments were die cut and heat embossed with Princess Gold ink.  A heat embossed sentiment and some gold gems finish this off!

Starting the winter release off with the beautiful Snowflake Season!

I found the most amazing embossing powder in my stash called Enchanted Gold (by Ranger).  I don't think I've ever used it but it's amazing and full of shiny glitter.  It is, however, very hard to photograph.  I wanted a softer gold look to these snowflakes.  I've layered the snowflakes over an All Lined Up Cover Panel that was trimmed at an angle.  By cutting it this way, it left the perfect space to gold (Princess Gold) heat emboss the sentiment!  A few off white gems were added to the snowflake centers for embellishments.

*************************************************

If you have a card, why not make some matching tags using some of the same elements!!  The tags were die cut using the Circle w/ Burst Tag Confetti Cuts and layered with the Large Detailed Circle Frame Confetti Cuts.  Snowflakes were added to the tags along with some off white gems.  For the sentiment strips, the sentiments come from a new "FREE w/ purchase" set called Snowy Sentiments.  (Please refer to the Reverse Confetti blog for details on this freebie!)  I embellished the tags with gold chevron ribbon that I have had forever from TJMaxx and tied them off with twine!
