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

 Good morning! Today is the blog hop to celebrate Pinkfresh Studio's August 2022 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release! This release has some fun new hot foil sentiments, a couple lovely coverplate dies, and of course, beautiful florals as you would expect from Pinkfresh! 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! 

I have three cards to share today - usually it would be more, but since I was gone on vacation in Hawaii and only had a couple days to work on my projects (and catch up on everything else!), I'm actually amazed I have 3 cards to share! First up, I couldn't resist making a shaker card with the fabulous new In My Heart floral frame set!

This stamp set makes perfect easy shakers! I started off by stamping it with a soft gray ink on white cardstock, then left the stamp set lined up in my MISTI to restamp at the end. I then used the layering stencils to add color to the image, lining each layer up with the stamped image.

Once I had the full image stenciled, I restamped over the top with Detail Black ink, and die cut with the coordinating dies. Then it was time to build my shaker!

I filled it with Iridescent Circle confetti from Pretty Pink Posh, and backed it with a small panel of yellow cardstock - love how that color pops from behind!

I popped it onto a deep green cardbase to coordinate with my greenery, then moved on to create my sentiment.

The "hello" is hot foiled using the new Phrase Builder: Hello hot foil set, then die cut with the previously released and coordinating Phrase Builder: Hello dies. I added that with more foam adhesive, and then stamped and die cut one of the sentiments with coordinating dies from In My Heart Stamp set to tuck underneath with a bit of liquid glue.

Next up - this may be one of my favorite cards from this entire release!

The new Grow Wild set is stunning. I mean - STUNNING! I love how gorgeous the image is stenciled, without even needing the coordinating stamp set. So pretty! I followed the colors on the packaging mock up fairly closely - they are a great reference if you are having trouble choosing colors!

For the background, I used a soft pink cardbase, then added the new Dotted Lattice coverplate die over the top, die cut from white cardstock.

I also die cut the new Fancy Circles die from white cardstock, and used the inner portion to create a frame. I used some leftover green ink from my blending brush to add a soft bit of color to the frame to help it pop.

I adhered everything down, using foam adhesive. I used a single layer on the frame and the bottom of the florals, then tucked an extra layer of foam under the top of the florals so that they popped a little extra off the background. A great way to add a bit of extra dimension!

The "beautiful" word is another hot foiled sentiment from the new Phrase Builder: Hello hot foil, also die cut with the coordinating previously released Phrase Builder: Hello dies. I love the size of this work, and how it fits almost edge to edge on this card. I added a secondary sentiment from the previously released Cosmos Bunch stamp set, trimming it in half to fit around the larger word.

Finished off with a few Iridescent Clear Drops on the centers of the flowers, clustering a few in the center of the largest flower. The perfect final touch of sparkle!

And finally, one of my more simple cards with this release!

For this card, I used the new Leafy Background stencil. It is a stand alone stencil with 3 simple layers - so fun!

I stenciled the 3 layers, then rotated the stencils 180 degrees to stencil again. This gave me a more full stenciled design, and is a fun way to switch it up a bit! I also used up some of the extra ink from my pink brush to add a soft hint of color around the edges, and soften it a bit.

I added some white splatters, and some splatters with Coral Reef (the same color on one of the leaf layers), and let that dry, then die cut with the largest Essentials: Stitched Rectangles.

My sentiment was built with stamped images from In My Heart stamp set, and another hot foiled word sentiment from Phrase Builder: Hello hot foil set, die cut again with the previously released Phrase Builder: Hello dies. I popped that word up with foam adhesive.

I layered a few die cut Leafy Branches in white to add some dimension and texture to the card, and a few sparkly Glacier Jewels to finish off!
