Good morning! Today is the blog hop to celebrate Pinkfresh Studio's February 2024 "Pure Joy" 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! We are starting off 2024 with a great release - can't wait for you to see it all!
We also have a special freebie promo to celebrate the release! You can get the Gatsby Frame hot foil set for FREE with any $50 or greater purchase, while supplies last! No code needed - it will automatically be added to qualifying orders.
All right - now that we've gotten past all the introductory information, how about we get to the cards with the new release! I only have 2 cards to share today - I'm blaming that on all the preparations needed for our last Create and Connect Cardmaking Event that was this past weekend - there just wasn't as much time as I would have liked to create all the cards in my head!
First up - I have this card using a fun new stencil and die combo:
We released a new concept of dies last month, and the new Cherry Blossoms set follows up on this - a layering stencil to quickly add color to multiple layers, then coordinating dies with details to cut those out - so you can quickly and easily create textured floral elements! Super fun! I layered them over a background created with the new Stippled Plaid press plate - and since press plates work so beautifully for hot foiling, I used it to create a foiled background. I also added a Nested Arch to tuck my cherry blossom branch into, and added a sentiment from the new Happy Vibes sentiment set! A few Clear Drops in Blush finish this card off! Here are some more photos of the finished cards:
Next u - I used one press plate with the Betterpress plate, and a different one to hot foil! Love the options!
The new Breezy Blossoms stamp set is going to be super popular I know! I used the press plate with Paradise ink, then used the coordinating die to cut out all the little pieces. The background was created with the new Dotted Petals press plate, also hot foiled for this one. Sentiment is another one from the Happy Vibes stamp set, and I added a Scallop Stitched Rectangle to frame it all up. A few Clear Drops in Turquoise finish this card off. Here are more photos of this card:
