Pinkfresh Studio “Gentle Greetings & Greenery” Release Blog Hop

Good morning! Today is the blog hop to celebrate Pinkfresh Studio's "Gentle Greetings & Greenery" Release! You aren't going to want to miss a stop along the way - TONS of inspiration and prizes up for grabs! YAY! Click HERE to shop the new release! 

I ended up down sick a couple days last week, so didn't have nearly as much time as I wanted to create - so in a rare exception to the normal, I only have one card to share with you today. It does, however, use several items from the release, and I love how it came out!

For this card, I did lots of hot foiling! I used Satin Metallic Gold for the Interlaced Diamonds plate as well as the large sentiment from Basic Sentiments. Then for the Beautiful Botanicals, I used Opaque Black - you could also create these easily with stamping, but I liked the look of the foil for these! I blended in my florals with soft pastels, and then added some ink blending to my background. Finished off with a few Iridescent Dew Drops, and some white hemp twine! Here are more photos of this finished card:

Merry and Bright Starburst - Simon Says Stamp DieCember Release

  Good morning! I'm stopping by to share a couple more cards today featuring part of the NEW DieCember Release at Simon Says Stamp! For some reason, I seem to be loving yellows and pinks for holiday and winter cards this year - they are just so bright and fun, don't you think?

For these cards, I used the new Starburst Plate wafer die, and cut it from white cardstock. I backed each one with a different color of Bold Brights Color Blend cardstock. You could also create your own ink blended background, but these sure make it quick and easy to finish your cards, and the colors are so fun! I used a sentiment from a stamp set that released last month - Poinsettia Swag - heat embossing it in gold on some vellum strips that I had torn the edges on. I wrapped those around, and adhered to the back of those panels - a great way to keep that elegant look of vellum but still hide the adhesive! Finished off with a bow of some of my new favorite gold twine - Vivant Flashy Gold Cord - and a few Clear Dazzling Gems for added sparkle. Here are more photos of these finished cards:

Creativity Unboxed Challenge - Pinkfresh Studio

 Hello! Pinkfresh Studio has a special bonus challenge going right now, with a chance to win a $25 gift card. The challenge is decorate up one of your blending brush boxes - so here is my take on it:

I used the 1" blending brush box - I LOVE these brushes so much! I used the new Fancy Edgers dies to cut a border on some white cardstock, matching it up as I went along, to create a longer edge. I then folded that around my box, wrapping it to the back. Next, I hot foiled the Magical Holiday press plate twice in Satin Gold foil, also foiling the reverse image with the Solid Hot Foil plate. I stenciled in the image with Fresh Pear, Olive, Candy Apple, Spruce Tips, and Evergreen. I tucked those on the front of the box, nestling the reverse foil behind so it just peeked out adding a shadow layer. I wrapped some gorgeous new gold twine that I just recently got my hands on (LOVE!) around the center, and tied in a bow. Finally, I added a foiled sentiment from the same set, stacked over some die cut stars from Shaker Stars, and a few Gold Glitter Drops sprinkled around for a touch of sparkle! Here are more photos of this finished project:
