Hi everyone! I’m happy to have been invited to join in on Pinkfresh Studio’s November 2022 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release blog hop! I’ve got 3 cards to share today, so I will stay as succinct as I can. I respond to every comment I get so if I miss something in the article and you’d like to ask a question, please do.
Let’s start with Pinkfresh’s new Overlapping Geo Leaf! With this new design, Pinkfresh has available a hot foil plate, a 5-stencil set, and a die. I decided not to use the hot foil plate today, I thought it would look so soft and pretty without a hard outline. I used the stencil set on Neenah Solar White 110 lb. cardstock with Pinkfresh inks: Ballet Slipper, Soft Lilac, Fresh Pear, and Sky Blue. I used one color with each stencil, but did not use the 5th stencil which colors in the inside of each geo leaf bloom. I blended the colors to fade to white to keep everything looking dreamy.
I die-cut the ink blended design out with the Overlapping Geo Leaf die and glued it to another die cut just for some stability. I used foam tape to pop it up over a base card, that I made with Pinkfresh’s Dainty Plaid and Wow’s Halo embossing powder. The embossed lines provided a subtle shimmer and stayed in the background. I used a couple of vellum die-cut circles behind the sentiment to help it to stand out a bit more from the card. And that so lovely sentiment came from another of Pinkfresh’s new releases: With Sympathy stamp set and coordinating die.
I added Pinkfresh’s iridescent clear drops and was done.
For this next card, I used their so, so pretty You’re the Best stamp, stencil, and die sets. I stamped the flowers onto a very light pink cardstock (Papertrey Ink) with Pinkfresh’s Doe brown. I ink-blended the flowers in with the 5-stencil set, again I think I skipped one of the stencils, probably the one that provides the flowers some detail. I used orange and pink colors for the blooms and soft browns for the leaves. Then I put the ink-blended image back into my MISTI where I had left the stamp and slightly shifted the pink cardstock from where it was for the first stamping. I think I actually did that three times, shifted one way or another – once for each bloom, and used a bolder brown ink (Gathered Twigs) to stamp over the stenciled blooms. I love this design… I might have to use it again, I’m not done with it yet. And, I think, it worked so well with these beautiful flowers!
The thank you sentiment is from the same stamp set and has an accompanying die. I adhered the pink panel to a Kraft cardstock base and sprinkled gold Glitter Drops across it. I used a glue dot to add a twine bow and was done!
I used the new Modern Design Blocks hot foil plate and 5-stencil set for my third card. I started by hot foiling with black foil, then I decided on 5 colors to use, one for each stencil, easy-peasy. Here is a link to the image that inspired these colors: on Pinterest. I picked one Pinkfresh color for each stencil: Passion Fruit, Marigold, Aquamarine, and then black and white. So quick and easy. I added a couple of sentiments both are from the You’re the Best stamp set. I had to add something kind of “frilly” to this bold design and adhered a sprig of Pinkfresh’s Curvy Foliage cut from black cardstock, around the sentiment. I decided any extra embellishments might be too much and was done with this card.
Fast! And I’m not a very fast card-maker. Just pick a few colors that you like, and go to town. This design is so smart and pretty!
I hope that some of these ideas and products have inspired you to make something new today, thank you so much for stopping by!
