SugarPea Designs / Enjoy

I am here with inspiration using the newest stand alone

SugarCut.....Botanical Branches from SugarPea Designs. I have so many ideas for these dies!

These dies are so detailed and die cut beautifully!

I wanted to make the die cut center stage by die cutting and layering multiple times. I did this by die cutting four times with the back layer keeping all the cut out pieces in place with tape on the back. This way when I layered three other layers the leaves are raised. This gives so much dimension!

I chose a fun color combination of fresh, bright colors for my white layered die cut. I layered 1/2" strips of cardstock onto printer paper and die cut the panel using the Stitched Rectangles SugarCut and layering with a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle. I finished this off by adhering the panel to a white notecard, adding in a gold die cut Enjoy Word SugarCut, and some gold gems.

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Ink to Paper (Papertrey Ink) / What do I do with this?

There is a new challenge over at Ink to Paper/Papertrey Ink called What do I do with this?

We were challenged to use some WOW! Embossing Powders that are now available in the shop!

Adding accents with embossing powder is such a great way to add texture. Here on the bloom from Lush Bloom, the "third" layer would normally be a darker color of ink but here I've added Versamark, the Sunburst WOW! Embossing Powder, and heat embossing. This gives this third layer some shine and texture!

I've added my bloom to the largest doily from Delicate Doilies Die set with foam adhesive. The doily was added to a white notecard that was scored to have a raised border around the perimeter. To finish, the sentiment was added to fit in below the bloom along with some sparkling gems.

The new Botanical Branches SugarCut is a 3 piece die set. I created a fun color combination of one of the die cut branches and layered them behind a strip of cardstock that was spritzed gold shimmer spray with the Skinny Stripes Stencil. The entire card panel was also spritzed with this gold shimmer. The Enjoy Word SugarCut was done in gold cardstock and added to a vellum shadow layer. A supporting sentiment strip from Everyday Sentiments was done in gold heat embossing and added with foam adhesive.

Pinkfresh Studio / April 2021 Stamp, Stencil, Die, and Hot Foil Release

Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio April Stamp, Stencil, Die, and Hot Foil Release!

Pinkfresh Studio keeps bringing us innovative products that are SO easy to use. I am hooked and definitely need someone to help support my habit! 😀

That being said......I am so excited to be sharing bits of this FABULOUS release with you.......Beautiful florals and some new HOT FOIL.

***Shop my affiliate link for Pinkfresh Studio HERE***

Starting things off here with some GOLD FOILING. **I have a confession......this was my first time foiling! Let's just say that after last month's Pinkfresh Studio release (where I resisted the matching hot foil plates to the stamps, dies, and stencils), I decided to buy the Glimmer Hot Foil System from Spellbinders. Now, I can't wait to buy the matching foiling plates!

Perfect Sentiments is a bold sentiment set of stamps, dies, and a hot foil plate. This set has a classic assortment of eleven sentiments. I used the GOLD foil from Spellbinders for these sentiments.

My first card uses Floral Bunch stamp, stencils, and matching die. Florals were done in Ballet Slipper, Sparkling Rose, Lemon Whip, and Sunshine Pinkfresh Studio Inks. The leaves were done using Mint and Evergreen inks. I knew I wanted to "hang" this image off my card so after I positioned it onto my notecard (that was layered with the large Diagonal Stitched Circle ink blended with Broken China Distress Ink), I trimmed the excess off. These pieces were then added to the perimeter. Tip: Don't throw those pieces away! The foiled "Hello" was added with foam adhesive along with some gold gems to finish.

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

My second card uses my favorite stamp set from the release.....Be Strong. The florals in this set are so intricate and gorgeous. After using the stencils with Pinkfresh Studio inks, the outline stamp was done using Versamark and gold heat embossing.

The florals were layered over the Stitched Scalloped Rectangles and the Fancy Oval Frame done both in white cardstock over an ink blended background done using Ocean Breeze Ink. The gold foiled sentiment was added with foam adhesive along with some coordinating aqua gems.

If you love to create scenes, you will LOVE this new Cover Plate: Spring Scene Builder. Ink blending and adding dimension with layered die cuts brings this to a whole other level!

I've paired the new Hey Spring stamp set (which features the bears we've all come to love) with the Scene Builder and the new Picket Fence SugarCut. I did pair these images with a few from Hey Fall like the sunflower and the cute little standing bird.

Greetings Earthlings!

I created a fun outer space background using lots of Distress Ink Oxides. Really no rhyme or reason to the colors and placement. The background may look like a hot mess.....just keep working it! Water splatters, shimmer spray and white/black ink flicks were all a part of the making of this background. The images from Take me to your Cake were Copic colored and die cut. The space ship was added using a mini action wobbler......so fun in real life! I added in a stenciled "moon" using the Outer Space Builder Stencil. To finish, a white heat embossed sentiment was added.

Let's celebrate some birthdays!!!

Using the Birthday Wishes candles, they were stamped in rainbow colors and die cut using the coordinating dies. They were lined up onto a die cut Stitched Rectangles SugarCut panel and then layered with another stitched layer done in black cardstock. The Happy Birthday Script Word SugarCut was die cut out of black cardstock and added to the candle panel along with a small supporting sentiment. Lots of tiny sparkling gems were added across the flames and card.
