Pinkfresh Studio June 2020 Pop Out Stamp and Die Release Blog Hop

Good morning! Today is an amazing blog hop to celebrate Pinkfresh Studio's June 2020 Pop Out Stamp and Die Release! You aren't going to want to miss a stop along the way - TONS of inspiration and prizes up for grabs! YAY! You also might want to pop over to the Pinkfresh Studio Facebook Page at 10 AM Pacific Time this morning - I will be going LIVE featuring some of the new releases (scroll down to see the cards we will be working on!) and there will be a gift certificate up for grabs as well!


You can also receive free shipping on any order of $50 or more through June 18th - so a great time to pick up anything you have your eye on!


And...just for fun, you can also get this super cute little die for free with any $25 purchase while supplies last!


As usual...I have lots of cards to share with you today! Starting off with this happy rainbow:


I love how fun it is to stamp out a rainbow using the fun new Pop Out Rainbow Cling Stamp!


I used a bright rainbow of Pinkfresh's dye inks and used my MISTI to line them all up. Then, I put them all together again and stamped over the top with clear embossing ink, sprinkled with glitter embossing powder, and heat embossed the entire thing.


Can you see all that sparkle? I also layered some glitter cardstock cut with the Color Block Rainbow Die from the previous release over the top - and it fit perfectly! Isn't that fun? Sentiment was added with Simply Sentiments: Hello with Black Detail Ink.


Next up - I love the bright and groovy color combo on this card!


This card uses the fun Pop Out Diagonal Stripes, and I used just a selected number of the stripes, leaving the ends off, and stamping each color in pairs.


Next, I stamped the huge sentiment from Hugs and Good Vibes with Black Detail ink using my MISTI, left it lined up and stamped over it again with clear embossing ink, then heat set with clear ink.


Finally, I added some black splatters using Licorice Liquid watercolors, and a black bow using Artistic Bows Die.


Can you see the shine on this from the heat embossing?


Next up, I used the new Pop Out Sunburst stamp set a couple different ways - and we will be working on all these cards a bit in today's Facebook Live! 


This first trio shows stamping with our beautiful liquid watercolors - I can't wait to share this technique with you! I actually colored the stamp up once with watercolors, then misted with water 3 times to get varying depths of color in different impressions. I then finished them off in a variety of different ways.


This card was the first and deepest color impression. I die cut it with the coordinating Pop Out Sunburst Die, then popped up each panel on foam adhesive on my cardbase and added a sentiment.


This one was the second impression, and a bit lighter than the first one. This one I die cut with Essentials: Ornate Banner Dies then heat embossed a large sentiment over the top with Detail Black ink, then stamped again with embossing ink and used that same clear sparkly embossing powder. A few jewels, and then popped it up on a white cardbase.


And finally, this is the third impression - and this one has the softest most "watercolor" feel of them all to me! I added some gold splatter to this one, stamped another large sentiment over the top, and finished off with a few jewels before popping it up with foam on a white cardbase.


I love this method of getting several cards from one bit of effort! And each one is unique thanks to the way watercolors move and work differently every time.


The other card we will be making live is this one showing how to pop out individual elements and stamp them using a soft color palette of dye inks, then layering over the coordinating die. Pop by the live video today to see more!

Evelin T Release Week - Day 3

Good morning! Today is Day 3 of sharing projects using the new release from Evelin T Designs! Check out the Evelin T Designs Blog for more info!


Today I combined images from two different sets to create a fun and simple shaker card!


I stamped the background image first - once on pattern paper, and once on white cardstock. I used my MISTI to line them up perfectly, so I could tuck the pattern paper behind and my window would line up just right (even though it is hard to see through all the shaker filling in this photo!).


Next, I added a few of the adorable little fishies from the other set we are sharing today, and stamped my sentiment on the front in a coordinating ink color with my interior pattern paper.


Finally, I assembled my shaker, filling it with lots of sparkly clear confetti. I may have even added a bit too much, but is that even possible? I'm not really sure!

Evelin T Release Week - Day 2

Good morning! Today is Day 2 of sharing projects using the new release from Evelin T Designs! Check out the Evelin T Designs Blog for more info!


I am a tea drinker through and through - so I was super excited to see the adorable set that is one of the ones we are showing off today!


For this card I grabbed some fun pattern paper, and die cut some circles in various sizes.


I used the lightest colored circles to stamp my sentiment and images, then layered them together with foam adhesive and placed them on the patterned background.


Finished off with a bit of splatter using my Pinkfresh Liquid Watercolor in Licorice - just to bring the whimsical factor up a bit.

Heat Embossing on Washi - Pinkfresh Studio

Good morning! I'm sharing a couple cards I made earlier this week with some beautiful Pinkfresh Studio dies, stamps, and jewels. I also filmed a video sharing some tips for stamping on our beautiful washi tape. You can find the video on the Pinkfresh Studio YouTube channel HERE if you'd like to check it out. I then put these cards together with the finished elements!


I shared two different ways to emboss on washi tape. 


First up, is hare how to stamp on some of the washi tapes that have coordinating stamp and die sets - a great way to step up that washi tape and have a beautiful card with nearly no effort! I then added some gold splatters to my white card base, a sentiment from the same stamp set I use for the next card, and a few jewels to finish it off.


This second card uses the beautiful Rainbow with Splatters Washi and a large sentiment from Hugs and Good Vibes. One tip on this, I suggest die cutting the rectangle out before doing the heat embossing - I ended up with some small areas getting scratched off by my rough die cutting plates on this card. A few jewels also finish this card off!


Make sure and check out the video to see some of the tips for making this technique work quickly and easily!

Evelin T Release Week - Day 1

Good morning! Today kicks off the beginning of sharing projects using the new release from Evelin T Designs! Check out the Evelin T Designs Blog for more info!


Here is my first card using the sets that we are sharing today:


I decided to split this large floral image between two different corners - doing this almost makes it look like I'm using two entirely different images!


Do you see the adorable little critters tucked inside the flowers?


I added a bit of sparkly Nuvo drops to the wings to help them pop out a bit.


Simple coloring with Copic markers, some white gel pen accents, and a sprinkling of jewels finish this card off!
