Floral Washi Small Element Wreath Card - Pinkfresh Studio Facebook Live Card

Good morning! Yesterday was my first Facebook Live video since coming home from vacation! We had an amazing trip to Iceland, Norway, and Sweden (mostly Norway) - but it is also lovely to be home, and I enjoyed getting to see everyone on the Facebook Live again. If you missed it and want to take a peek, you can find it on the Pinkfresh Facebook Page - this week's video is available HERE. As always today, there was one giveaway for someone who watched live, so make sure and pop in next week to win that week's live giveaway - 10 AM Pacific time on Thursday morning! 

In the meantime - here is some more info and photos of the card we made, as well as links to all the products used!

This card uses all those beautiful small elements on that part of the Painted Florals Washi Tape, paired up with the coordinating dies from Floral Elements Dies - love that they work together like this, and yet these dies also work with the Floral Elements Stamp set! Versatility at it's best!

I adhered the washi to 80 lb white cardstock, die cut with the coordinating dies, then arranged them in a wreath design. I picked up the arrangement with Press and Seal, added foam adhesive to the back of each piece, then flipped over and adhered onto my cardbase.

I used my MISTI to add a sentiment from My Favorite Things to Say (one of my favorite sentiment sets!) - then added the look of "splatters" by using the small dot image from Floral Elements Stamp Set. Finished off by rounding off two corners of the card for interest (forgot to do this in the LIVE, so finished it afterwards!)

Happy Panda Birthday - Simon Says Stamp August Card Kit

Good morning! I'm popping in to share a card created with the BRAND NEW Agusut Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Party Like a Panda! This kit is so bright, fun, and happy - perfect for lots and lots of birthday cards! The stamp kit has the cutest panda images - and the PERFECT sentiments as well! The pattern paper is bright and fun, the adorable coordinating panda die is super sweet, and the Thermoweb flock sheets and sparkle pen are the perfect little additions!

I'm a little late sharing my first cards - since I was gone on vacation until just before the kit released, it took me a couple days to get over jet lag and get my crafty mojo back, but this kit was a fun way to start that process!

I started off by die cutting the darling Picture Book Panda from white cardstock over which I had adhered some Scor Tape adhesive sheets. I then peeled off the sheets selectively to apply the fun flock in white and black from the kit! I don't know if you can see the photo how adorable and fuzzy this panda is:

I used some of the pattern paper to create a window, first die cutting it with the largest Stitched Rectangle, then the center with Stitched Ovals. Next, I stamped the birthday balloons from the Party Like a Panda stamp set on my white cardbase, lining it up in the window, and coloring with Copics. I added a layer of sparkle with the sparkle pen in the kit - you see it best in this next photo:

Finally, I added the panda with foam adhesive, heat embossed some additional sentiments from the kit on thin strips of black cardstock and adhered those with foam adhesive, and added a bit more pattern paper with a torn edge along the bottom. Finished off with a bit more jute twine tied across the top!

Here is a closer look at the entire kit contents - you can find all the details HERE:

What is your favorite part of this kit? Would love to hear what you are excited to play with!

Pinkfresh July Challenge - Cutfiles and Diecuts

Pinkfresh Studios is kicking off a BRAND NEW July Challenge: Cut Files and Diecuts - paired of course with the option a fun color combo! I hope you'll come play along for a chance to win some amazing prizes - you can enter cards OR scrapbook layouts!!!

Here is the challenge info and inspiration photo:

I decided since the focus for this challenge was cutfiles and diecuts - I would really take the opportunity to embrace my die cutting, and not use any stamps at all!

I used two of the beautiful Essentials: Classic Edgers Dies - the plain scallop and the eyelet scallop of a similar shape and layout. 

I used the plain scallop to die cut the pattern paper - all from the Everyday Musings 6x6 Paper pad, and a perfect match for the challenge colors! I then layered in between each color a white layer die cut with the eyelet scallop.

I finished off by wrapping some jute string around the top, and die cutting a sentiment from Essentials: Classic Words from gold glitter cardstock. LOVE these bright and fun layers - and lots of die cutting!
