Pinkfresh Studio / May 2022 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release


Painted Daisies2

Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio May Release!  
I am so excited to share my projects using a variety of products from the release.  There are so many new beautiful florals that have coordinating stencils and dies as well as some stand alone products too!

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


  My first card uses the Painted Daises stencil and die (there is also a coordinating stamp).  

After stenciling in the one piece Painted Daisies image using the stencils, the image was die cut and then cut in half.  This was set aside to work on the card base.  The card base was made using the Stained Glass Die and yes, I popped all those pieces up with foam adhesive!  Once done, the Painted Daisies were added with one image at the top and one image at the bottom.  I love the way this breaks up a large image!!!  Now, there is a new sentiment suite in town......Scripted Sentiments which includes a stamp set, die, and hot foil plate!  For my sentiment, I hot foiled gold onto black cardstock for a bold look!  As finishing touches, gold pearls were added to tie in the foiled sentiment.

For my second card, I've used the Stained Glass Hot Foil Plate along with the coordinating stencils for a soft background.

I added in a shaker element for this other busy background.  This was created using the Nested Circle Hot Foil Plates and the coordinating Nested Circles Dies.  Clear flat sequins were added for shine inside the shaker.  To finish the card, a reversed foiled sentiment from Scripted Sentiments was added over Curvy Foilage Die done in heavy vellum.  This card would be perfect for a wedding card!

My last card uses the new beautiful Grant Yourself Grace.  This set is perfect for building your own floral sprays since all the florals are separate.  To color the blooms, they were done using Pinkfresh Inks over the coordinating stencil and then die cut.

To create my background, the Arched Backdrop Hot Foil Plate was used with gold foil and added with foam adhesive.  The interior was done using the Intricate Stitched Ovals Plate for a bit of texture.  Here is where the fun part comes in, arranging the florals!  Once I had them where I wanted them, I used Press 'n Seal to secure them to add glue to the back.  Some florals were added using foam adhesive and a tiny bit of Curvy Foilage Die done in a light vellum were tucked in places.  Another foiled sentiment from Scripted Sentiments was added along with some gold gems to finish this!

Avery Elle / Summer Release / Blog Hop

Funny Faces2

The Summer 2022 Avery Elle Release is finally here!!  
We have an amazing blog hop full of inspiration today and we are so glad that you are here. 

For a summary of all of our new products that are available for purchase right now check out this section in our store .  We will be showcasing projects using our new sets starting today and will continue to show them throughout the next few months.  





 I had fun creating this punny card using the new Funny Faces stamps and Elle-ments Dies.

Isn't this set adorable??!  I decided to go with lemons as it reminds me of sunshine and summer!  The lemons were inked up first with a light shade of yellow ink.  To add the gradient, darker shades were stippled onto the stamp and then stamped over the top.  This technique was used to both the lemons and the leaves.  There are lots of cute faces to add and here I decided to make it a cute 'love' card.

The background was created using the Pierced Birthday Frame Elle-ments.  The frame and scallop edge were added with foam adhesive and the inside panel was stamped with the flowers from the set and embellished with tiny, yellow gems.  The lemon arrangement was added with foam adhesive along with 'you're simply the zest' sentiment!

Join us for the Blog Hop for lots of inspiration using the new collection!

A Beautiful Day2

WELCOME to the NINTH Birthday celebration for Reverse Confetti!!  
Make sure to check out the Reverse Confetti blog for a list full of inspiration and information on all the new goodies!!




There are some gorgeous florals in the Reverse Confetti release!  Each of my cards uses emboss resist......one of my favorite techniques!

A Beautiful Day butterflies were white heat embossed and Squeezed Lemonade, Peacock Feathers, and Picked Raspberry Disress Inks were blended over the top.  Each was die cut and added to a circle die cut using the Large Rainbow Circle.  Sentiment was also white heat embossed and hand trimmed out.  

A Beautiful Day

My second card uese the Roses stamps with white heat embossing.  

Roses2

With this card, the flowers were ink blended with several shades of yellow and greens for a soft look.  The centers have concentrated color.  Once the image was die cut, it was added to panel die cut with the stitched panel die that's included with the Roses Confetti Cuts!

My third card uses a new cover panel Folklore Cover Panel and Wildflowers

Again, heat embossing!  This time using more Distress Inks but in a soft pastel palette.  After several die cuts were adhered together, the Wildflowers were added to a Folklore Cover Panel.  For a sentiment, the Layered Friend Confetti Cuts was added with a layer of vellum.
