Pinkfresh Studio March 2023 Washi, Stamp, Die, and Stencil Release

Hi there!

Welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO MARCH 2023 WASHI, STAMP, DIE, and STENCIL RELEASE. Today, we are celebrating this amazing new release that is filled with beautiful washi roll suites, and the most ingenious dies.

I chose the new Tuberose Washi Tape roll, Rounded Braided Rectangle Die, A2 Slider Die, and the Foiled sentiments 5 for my project:

I love the colors in the new Tuberose Washi tape, and having the coordinating die - Tuberose die - make it so easy to create embellishments for my 6x8 spread.

Since I am documenting my nephew's 10th birthday celebration, I pulled papers from Spring Vibes to help me with the pocket spread. I carefully used the new Rounded Braided Rectangle die to create my journal cards ( using negative and positive pieces) along with a few of the Tuberose washi florals.

I was so excited to play with the new A2 Slider Die, the possibilities it brings to crafting are just mind blowing. In my case, it helped to add more photos without overcrowding the page.

I added one of the new Foiled Sentiments to complete the title card in the A2 insert of the spread. However, I chose to complete the page by using the back of the A2 Slide card to tie the spread together.

I glued the two A2 Slider card together to create my insert. I chose to large cluster of the Tuberose washi florals as focus of the insert, and added a large foiled sentiment to help as a title for the spread.

I followed the same format at my previous page for this pocket spread. However, I am choosing to encase my journaling in a pocket ( the journaling card is made from the packaging of the Spring Vibes collection). I am using the Rounded and Braided Rectangle die to create the pocket for my spread.

I added a few Small Butterflies embossed images , as well as embellishments from Chrysanthemum and Spring Vibes to complete the spread. Just love how it all turned out!

Now to celebrate the release, Pinkfresh Studio is hosting a generous giveaway:

1. They will be giving away the full release on the Pinkfresh Studio blog and YouTube Channel.

2. In addition, they will be giving a total of ten $25 gift cards along the hop. As per usual, the winners will be picked from the comments left in each stop.

Pinkfresh Studio March 2022 Washi, Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release

Hi there, and welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO MARCH 2022 WASHI, STAMPS, DIE, STENCIL, and HOT FOIL RELEASE.

Today we are celebrating a new collection filled with amazing designs, and perfect for all sorts of paper crafting project. I combined a few products of the release to create this scrapbook layout

I started my page by using the new Nested Hexagons Hot Foil plate, and Nested Hexagons die set to create a series of foiled hexagons. I chose to also use the left over foils to create a second impression of the hexagons using my Solid Hot Foil plate. I set the hexagons as to form frames on the Happy Heart collection's Small Joys paper.

The new Dahlia Washi Tape and Rainbow Floral Washi tape are gorgeous. I added the washi tape to white cardstock, then used the coordinating die to trim all the florals. My choice to mix the pink and gold foil tones of the Dahlia Washi tape with the colorful watercolor feel of the Rainbow Floral Washi Tape works nicely in clusters at corners of each hexagon cluster.

I placed a photo of my hubby and I on Valentine's day to two of the frames. I added small embellishments as the washi tapes provide plenty of interest to each frame.

The new Rainbow Sentiments Die Cut Ephemera pack is filled with sentiments and sentences that you can use in your cards and scrapbooks. I chose to use the script font as extra embellishment in the photo's clusters, and opted for the heavier font to create the title for my page. I added a small butterfly sticker ( Happy Heart collection) to accent the title of the page.

Just love how this turned out, all I need is to add my journaling! I am sure you are all thinking about the possibilities of these new products in your projects. Remember to check them all in the Pinkfresh Studio Shop.

Pinkfresh Studio June Washi, Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release

Hi there!

Welcome to Pinkfresh Studio June Washi Tape, Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release Blog hop. Today's new release is one that you are going to love regardless of the type of paper crafting projects you love to work. For my project I am using the new SMALL BUTTERFLIES Stencil/ Stamp/ Die set.

I started with adding the mixed media and stitching to the page. A little bit of gray ink diluted with some gold ink is all it needed to create a clean canvas for the photos.

While the background dried, I got to work with the SMALL BUTTERFLIES STENCIL/STAMP/DIE set to create all the butterflies for my page.

I chose to use Transluscent embossing powder to create the soft delicate outline of the butterflies on vellum, and then layered them on top of the brightly colored butterflies.

You can customize your butterflies to fit your project using the stencils and stamps. So many options, that it makes the SMALL BUTTERFLIES set a must!

I combined the butterflies with papers and embellishments from the Happy Blooms collection, and Painted Peony Washi tape ( previous release) in this page. I just love how it all turned out.

I am sure you all are excited to get shopping. If so, take advantage of the release promotion

Altenew Adventures Ahead Stamps/Dies/Stencils/More Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there!

Welcome to ALTENEW ADVENTURES AHEAD STAMPS/DIES/STENCILS/MORE COLLECTION RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving fromMichelle's Short blog. A complete list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

Today, Altenew is releasing a brand new set of products that are sure to fit your paper crafting needs and wants. With so many beautiful designs, it was easy to create a few projects, let me show you:

The new COLOR BANDS DIE SET is a must, it is perfect for all types of projects, because a rainbow is always a good thing. I have paired the die set with the new DREAMY SUNSET PAPER PACK, the colors in this paper pack are just lovely.

Once I had created the rainbows, I decided to use in a grid formation in my Gratitude journal. I combined the new SAY YES stamp set and ENJOY THE JOURNEY stamp set to create the title and sentiments in the page. Just love how easy it all came together!

I love washi tape! And the new LAPIS LAZULI SLIM WASHI TAPE SET is probably a new favorite. I used this to help me anchor my pocket page spread. I started by stamping the cards using a light gray ink and the ENJOY THE JOURNEY STAMP SET. Then, I used the washi tape to create the diagonal stripes on the cards. Here, I used the ENJOY THE JOURNEY STAMP & DIE bundle to create the camera icon. Lastly, I used the new BLOOMING GARDEM DECAL to add the second sentiment to the second card.

I reached for a large tag, and carried the washi design. I backed the picture with a piece of paper from the new RAINBOW BLOTS PAPER PACK. I stamped a sentiment from the ENJOY THE JOURNEY stamp set in a small paper strip, and used it as the title for the page. I love how this turned out!

I just love the new SISTERS OF THE HEART STAMP/DIE/COLORING STENCIL bundle. It was so easy to create the florals in a short amount of time -with lovely results- for this new spread in my daily journal.

I used papers from the RAINBOW BLOTS PAPER PACK as layers behind the pictures, and then added a small sentiment from the stamp set to complete my page!

And for my last projects, I made cards!!!

I used the new POLKA DOT BUDS STENCIL to create the background for the card. Using the Shades of Purple and Spring Bouquet Ink sets, and ink blending tools, I created the soft ombre effect on the card background. A small clear drop in the center of each flower completes the background.

I used the SISTERS OF THE HEART stamp set to create my sentiment strip, and attached it to the card with a bit of foam adhesive. Simple and sweet!!

For my last card, I stamped the new INKY BOUQUET design at the bottom of a card panel, then proceeded to partially fussy cut the lower part of the bouquet, so that the panel shows a partial die cut of the floral.

I backed the card with a panel of cardstock from the DREAMY SUNSET PAPER PACK, then finished the card with a simple title and ink blots -both from the same stamp set-. Just love how this turned out!

Altenew Quiet Reflections Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Inks/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there!

Welcome to ALTENEW'S QUIET REFLECTIONS STAMPS/DIES/STENCILS/INKS/EMBOSSING FOLDERS COLLECTION Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You are arriving from Amy Hill's blog; a list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

Today's Altenew is a large and GORGEOUS one, there is so much to choose from, right on time for Christmas ( hint**!). What can I say, each month we are all floored by the products that arrive in our boxes! But let's get started with showing you what I have created for today's hop:

Let's start with the only card made for today's hop. I am not fan of fish, but the new GOLDFISH POND STAMP/DIE SET is just perfect. First, I used a bit of watercolor (Artist Watercolor Palette) on watercolor paper ( Altenew's Loose Leaf watercolor paper) to recreate a small pond on the panel. While the background dried, I used the GOLDFISH POND STAMP/DIE SET to create two of the fish images.

I used the new DELICATE POLKADOTS WASHI TAPE to cover the edges of the card front. I used a combination of phrases from the GOLDFISH POND STAMP SET and TRANQUILITY ROSE Stamp set to finish the card. Simple and beautiful!

Of course, I focused on memory keeping for the rest of my projects, let's get started...

The new DOTS AND BOXES Stamp set is just so versatile. I combined the stamp with the new colors of inks from MARTIAN TERRAIN set. to create the ombre color boxes on the background of the layout and cards.

I added small strips of the new DELICATE STRIPES WASHI TAPE to bring some interest to the background and bring some of the gray and black tones from the pictures!

For the b side of the previous layout, I continued using the DOTS AND BOXES Stamp set to create the backgrounds for the page and card. This time, however, I used the NORTHERN SHORE INK SET to bring tones of blue to the page.

I chose to use the TRANQUILITY ROSE STAMP AND DIE SET to create the embellishments for the page. The floral images in this stamp are just beautiful! So, I stamped the large rose and then used the Woodless Watercolor Pencils to create a no line look for it. I kept the rest of the images to black and white so that the flower will be the focus of the page. Once again, just love how it turned out!

Give me all the flowers! The new BLISSFUL BLOSSOMS STAMP AND DIE SET is probably one of the favorites from this release. The flowers are easy to layer, and the leaf flourishes can add movement and interest to any project.

I created a small grouping of the flowers, and moved them into the picture. All the color is perfect for the story. Then finished the page with a title and sentiments from the DOTS AND BOXES Stamp set. Just love this page!

My last project combines a few of the release products in one page. First of all, I used the INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES STAMP SET to create the floral wreath ( Woodless Watercolor pencils are amazing to work with!). I then used the DOTS AND BOXES STAMP SET to create the backing card for my picture.

I used a quote from the TRANQUILITY ROSE stamp set to add the sentiment to this page. The new NATURE WONDERS INK SET is the ideal color for the stamped images (and the Fall season, too!). Probably my favorite project from this hop. Hope you have been inspired with all of them!
