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.

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.

This week I am sharing a mini slim card using Forest Dance Party!  I couldn't make a card without using most of these adorable critters!!!  The grass and sky were ink blended with Distress Inks.  The grass was die cut twice using a die from the Slimline Borders Elle-ments.  The sentiment was selectively stamped to create this unique one!  All the critters were added with foam adhesive onto the scene.
