Pinkfresh Studio April 2023 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release

 Good morning! Today is the blog hop to celebrate Pinkfresh Studio's April 2023 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release! You aren't going to want to miss a stop along the way - TONS of inspiration and prizes up for grabs! YAY! You can find links to all of the new release items I used on today's cards at the bottom of this post! This release is focused on celebrations, since Pinkfresh is celebrating 9 years in business - so crazy how fast the time flies, isn't it?

I have a few cards to share - so I'm going to hop right into it!

First up, this note card set that uses the new With Love stamp, die, and stencil set:

I used a soft color palette of Coral Reef, Passion Fruit, Mint, and Meadow to ink blend the florals, and die cut with the coordinating die. I created three square card bases sized 4 1/4" x 4 1/4", then used Stitched Squares and Shaker Hearts dies to create windows. I ink blended a bit softly from the top of the cardbases, masking off the outer border to keep it white, then arranged the florals and embellished with Emerald City and Bubblegum Jewels. Here are some more photos and close ups of these cards:

Next up, when I was creating these cards, I ended up without the stencils for the Rosettes set, but fortunately, the dies are pretty fun all on their own!

I die cut the Rosettes from 3 different shades of Spellbinders cardstock, and the centers from ivory glitter cardstock. I used the previously released Elongated Lattice to create a background panel for texture, using white on white cardstock. I also used the new Basic Banners: Celebrate, and heat embossed my sentiment in gold on white cardstock. I used some foam adhesive to adhere everything together, then added some Matte Gold Pearls to embellish! Here are some more photos of this card:

Next up - another card featuring lots of die cutting!

For this one, I used that fun fringe die from the new Wrap Around Elements die. I used some pattern paper from the Simply the Best 6x6 pattern paper pad - using up scraps mostly. I used Stitched Diamonds coverplate to create a textured background, then added the fringe pieces from the bottom up, adhering with liquid glue, and curling up some texture on the bottom of them. Added another one of those sentiments from Basic Banners: Celebrate, and a little secondary sentiment from With Love stamp set, hand trimming that into a smaller banner shape to coordinate. Finally, I embellished with some sparkly Ombre Glitter Drops in Sparkle & Shine. Here are more photos of this card:

Another super fun set from this release is the Sweet Day set - which I'm using on the next two cards!

I started off by hot foiling the image in Aura foil, then coloring in with the layering stencils using Ballet Slipper, Coral Reef, Passion Fruit, Ocean Breeze, Aquamarine, and Warm Buff. I die cut it with the coordinating die, then set the cupcake aside for the next card. I stamped the sentiment in Passion Fruit, and die cut with the coordinating die. I die cut Floral and Diamond Tiles coverplate from white cardstock to layer over my coordinating pink cardbase, and then used one of the Nested Arches, reverse foiled using the Solid Hot Foil plate and using Satin Pastel hot foil. I also die cut some florals from the previously released Garden Wreath die, and then embellished with a mix of Ombre Glitter Drops in Sparkle & Shine and Pixie Dust. Here are lots more photos of this card:

And finally, the second card using the cupcake from the last card!

For this card, I used the largest Blanket Stitched Rectangle for the base, and the reverse foiled Nested Hexagon created with the Solid Hot Foil plate, and foiled with Moondust foil. I also die cut the ribbon and bow from Wrap Around Elements from gold cardstock to embellish. The sentiment is from the new BIRTHDAY foiled sentiments. That's right - by popular request, we have a little more themed set of pre-foiled die cut ephemera, and they are fabulous! I finished off with a few Aqua Glitter Drops. Here are more photos of this final card for today:
