Pinkfresh Studio “Magical Holiday” Release Blog Hop

There is also a FABULOUS freebie available while supplies last with this release - and for this promo, you actually get to pick your favorite item with any $50 purchase:


Our holiday release is always one of our largest, so I have lots of cards to share with you today!


First up - I always love when we release new washi tapes - and this new holiday one is simply stunning! There is also (of course) a coordinating stamp and stencil set. This washi set is the first in a new and more user friendly design. We now have the stamp and die split up into two different pieces. This makes it easier to fit it all in a standard stamping platform, as well as on standard cutting plates! The washi is still in one piece, but you simply can choose to cut it one piece at a time, or tape them both in place and cut together. So helpful! I paired the washi up with the new Festive Grid coverplate die (those tiny stars are SOOO cute!), as well as the fabulous new Holiday Greetings sentiments hot foil and die combo. A frame from Stitched Scallop Rectangles and a few Gold glitter drops finish this one off. Here are more photos of this finished card:








Next up - this elegant card in neutral tones!


For this one, I mostly featured the lovely Radiating Snowflake press plate, hot foiled in Aura foil. I created a frame using another of the Stitched Scallop Rectangles, and then used Nested Rectangles to create a layered window inside. I added some cream cardstock behind for subtle contrast, and finished off with another sentiment from the Holiday Greetings sentiments, and a few Clear gems with gold dust for sparkle. Here are more photos of this card:







And now we move from elegant straight to adorable!


This Holiday Bicycle set is SOOO cute and fun! I love the snowflake wheels! I also used the Radiating Snowflake stencil to add some interest to the background, the sentiment set again, but this time the stamp set, another of those Stitched Scallop Rectangles (but in white this time), and a bit of sparkly Stickles on some elements of the design - finished off with a few Glacier jewels. Here are more photos of this card:







Next up - shaker cards are always so perfect for the holidays I think!


This one features the new Festive Foliage Tree set - I used the press plate and green foil, then used some soft and slightly nontraditional colors. I created a window using Nested Arches, and filled it with sparkly star confetti, backed with coordinating green cardstock. The front panel also was dry embossed with the Festive Grid coverplate die for some texture. Another one of those fabulous sentiments, and a few coordinating clear drops finish this one off! Here are more photos:







And finally - wrapping up today with this two for one duo!


These cards feature the Poinsettia Frame product suite. I used the press plate to hot foil, and then foiled the reverse with the solid hot foil plate. That card came together super quickly - and has such an elegant feel to it! The original foil I used some soft nontraditional colors -  pinks for the flowers and berries, and then a mix of soft gray and tan for the leaves and background. I didn't use the coordinating dies on this one, just kept it as a panel. Added some gold splatter to both cards, and some coordinating Blush Clear Drops or Sparkle and Shine Ombre glitter drops to finish off. Main sentiments are from the same set I used on all of today's cards, and the secondary sentiments are from the Deck the Halls stamp set and Festive Foliage Tree stamp set. Here is a look at these final cards:

  35. As usual you are an over achiever. It makes it hard to pick just one, The one that hit home was the shaker tree. I also liked the bicycle. I said in one of my other comments that I can see it carrying, flowers, or even a little dog. Pass that along to the designers please.

  57. Well, that was the complete release. Love the changes that you all made to the washi tape. Thanks for listening to so many people. The Holiday Street and the Holiday Bicycle are my favorites. And as always, that's for getting into the stencil business. That was a game changer for me as the pens are not my friends.
