Pinkfresh Studio “Here for You” Release Blog Hop

 Good morning! Today is the blog hop to celebrate Pinkfresh Studio's "Here for You" 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!


Included in this release is also our long awaited ink refill storage case, and large blending brushes! I'm so in love with the brushes - they blend like butter! 



As usual - I have a lot of cards to share today with the new release!


First up, I have this card using Playful Petals, paired up a couple other items from the release.


I hot foiled the image, and colored it with the coordinating layering stencils, then created the frame using the Blanket Stitched Octagons die. For the background, I used the lovely new Charming Stitched Florals coverplate die, ink blended with those FABULOUS new large blending brushes in coordinating colors. Sentiment is from Here for You Sentiments set, and a bit of twine finishes this card off. Here are more photos of this finished card:





Next up - a new favorite set I used on this card!


The new Garden Party die and stencils combo is so fabulous! I love how versatile it is - ink blend the flowers and greenery to die cut, or die cut from colored cardstock or glitter paper. So fun! I used the Charming Stitched Floral coverplate die to hot foil for this background for a different look, and another one of those Blanket Stitched Octagons dies for the background. The Here for You Sentiments were also used again on this card. Here are more photos of this one:







Next up - this card is fairly simple, but I love the letterpress feel to it!


For this one, I focused on some of the letterpress plates in the release to make a pretty much one layer card - with a bit of bling of course! I used the Dainty Floral Frame press plate, then paired it up with one of the Elonged Ovals. Finished off with a sentiment from the Here for You Sentiments, and then just a touch of sparkle with some bling tucked around. Here are a couple more photos of this card:







This next set of cards might be my very FAVORITE of the release! 


I used the Dainty Floral Frame set again, only hot foiled in Satin Pastel foils. I used those panels for some cards I'm sharing tomorrow for the IG hop - but these feature the reverse foil using the Solid Hot Foil plate! I absolutely LOVE the way these look like white on colored cardstock, thanks to the reverse foiling. I added a popped up oval panel using the Elongated Ovals dies, sentiments from the Here for You Sentiments, and then die cut Garden Party die from white cardstock to add some simple floral clusters around the frame. So fun!!! Here is a closer look at these:












And finally - I don't create very many monochromatic cards, but I love how this one turned out!


I actually foiled the Art Deco Floral Arch using Cobalt Blue foil, then colored it in with coordinating blues from Pinkfresh inks. I die cut it with the coordinating die, then popped it up with foam adhesive on a cardbase of soft blue cardstock with a bit of extra blue blending at the top. Finished off simple with a sentiment from the Here for You Sentiments - in case you can't tell, I really enjoyed those from this release! Here are more photos of this final card:

Many Thanks Mushroom Shaker - Pretty Pink Posh September Release Blog Hop Day 2

Good morning! I'm so excited today to be joining Day 2 of the release blog hop for the September Pretty Pink Posh release. There are some of the CUTEST fall theme sets in this release - and I fell in love with the adorable mushrooms on the release as well! Keep reading for more details on my cards, as well as hop and giveaway info at the bottom! 


I decided to pair up some of the darling mushrooms to create this cute and colorful shaker card!


I started off by creating a background using the Layered Mushroom stencils. I stenciled in fun bold colors on cream cardstock for a slightly different look, and added some white splatters for texture. Next, I pulled out the Mushroom shaker die, and cut once from matte gold cardstock, and once in the center of the stenciled panel to create a window for my shaker. I created the shaker element, and filled it with some of the adorable Fall Mushroom Clay confetti. Used a white cardbase to help the shaker filling pop, then added a die cut sentiment using the Many Thanks Shadow dies, cutting the main layer from white cardstock, and the shadow layer from vellum. Here are some more photos of this finished card:
