Pinkfresh Studio May 2022 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release

 Good morning! Today is an amazing blog hop to celebrate Pinkfresh Studio's May 2022 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release! This release was supposed to happen earlier this month (again), but shipping delays pushed it a bit later again! Hopefully you find it worth the wait! 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!

As always, I have lots of cards to share today! I love how well this first card ended up coordinating with the release graphics - and it is the only card I made before I saw that!

For this card I started off with the beautiful new Painted Daisies set. I stamped it in a different color than I normally use for outlines - Evergreen. And then blended the colors over using the layering stencils, before stamping again with the stamp set (still lined up in my MISTI) to get a super crisp top stamped image. Finally, I die cut it with the coordinating dies - love all the details those cut out!

I decided to shake things up a little on this and cut in in half, so I could use it on the top and bottom of my cardfront. I used a coordinating pink cardbase, and layered over the new Stained Glass die for some texture before mounting the florals with foam adhesive.

Sentiment is from another fabulous new set - Modern Script Sentiments hot foil - a one piece hot foil plate with lots of sentiments in a fabulous font, and with a coordinating one piece die. I also embellished with a few sparkly Glacier jewels to add an extra touch of sparkle!

Next up, this set called Celebrate in Style may be one of my very favorite new sets! I find myself constantly needing birthday cards, not to mention needing a family wedding this summer that this set is perfect for!

This set was part of last November's Create and Connect event, but we discovered a couple things that we took and improved, so it took a while to finally be able to release it. I never even used the set from last year - but I can tell you, it was totally worth the wait! I love that it follows the Pinkfresh concept of one piece stamp, die, and stencil - so I got both of these gorgeous cakes and their floral embellishments from one panel!

I ended up not using the cake stand stencil - instead cutting both cake stands with the coordinating die from matte gold cardstock. I love that you can also use the stencils just to ink blend for a more one layer design, or ink blend on the die cut, or just die cut from colored or specialty cardstock!

And those coordinating large word stencils?!? Be still my heart! And they have coordinating dies - eek! I used two different words for these cards, and stamped some of the great supporting sentiments from the stamp set to add underneath.

These cards each use one of the new coverplate dies. The first card uses Stitched Diamonds and the next card here uses Hexagon Tiles - I love that both of these are stitched dies, so they have a great texture, but don't cut out any tiny pieces, so they are super quick and easy to use!

I popped various pieces up with foam adhesive on the background, this second card I adhered the cake stand directly on the background, then popped everything up with foam adhesive. The first card, it is all popped up with foam! And finally, a few coordinating jewels on each of these finish them off!

Next up, I love the bright spring feel to the new Wildflower Slimline set - such a happy and cheerful design!

While this design works super well for various card sizes, I loved using it on this smaller sized slimline card! It is just slightly larger than 3" x 8" - just large enough to add a thin border to the smaller sized Slim Diagonal Stitched Rectangles die, which made a great backdrop for my card design.

I did some simple masking to add lots of fresh spring colors on this set, and die cut it with the coordinating dies. I added a background to the card using the smallest of the Slim Stitched Scallop Rectangles die. For some reason, it is the size I never seem to use, so I had 3 of them I was able to stack up for a nice dimensional center embellishment. I also added some happy yellow cardstock behind it!

I carefully adhered my stamped, stenciled, and die cut floral piece over my popped up frame in the middle, just adding glue to the parts that would touch the frame, and leaving the rest to float free for a very whimsical feel. I love it! Then finished off with a hot foiled sentiment from the new Modern Script Sentiments, and a few Metallic Gold Pearls!

And finally, a card using the fun new Botanical Bunch set - super detailed and intricate, but so pretty!

I stenciled it all up in soft peach and happy pinks, with a bit of soft green for the leaves, and die cut it with the coordinating dies.

I created a frame with a piece of the largest Nested Hexagons that I had reverse foiled in silver some time back, and used that to create a window to tuck those florals in at the bottom. I used the new Hexagon Tiles die on some soft green cardstock, and cut a window from it, then added the hot foiled frame around it.

I adhered the front window down directly on my white cardbase, and popped the upper part of the florals up with foam adhesive. It feels like they are growing out of the frame - so fun! Finally, I added a simple hexagon die cut from vellum to add my sentiment, partly from the Modern Script Sentiments stamp set, and then the additional sentiment stamped in pink from Wildflower Slimline stamp set - which happens to have some fabulous sentiments! I also added a few Metallic Silver Pearls to finish this one off!
