Pinkfresh Studio “Delightful” Release Blog Hop

 



Hi there! 

Welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO "DELIGHTFUL" RELEASE BLOG HOP.   We are celebrating all the new beautiful products with lots of inspiration and prizes.   




With so many  beautiful products to choose from, it was so easy to combine a few of them into this layout




I am combining the new JOYFUL DAY Press Plate and NEVER GIVE UP suite along with the Making The Best Of It collection (Spanish version) in my layout, and I love how it turned out!





I used the NEVER GIVE UP Press Plate, NEVER GIVE UP Stencil, NEVER GIVE UP die, and Premium inks in shades of pink and mint to create 3 florals, as I wanted to create a large swag for my page.




Next, I cut a circle of about 7" from the center of a 8.5x11" white cardstock page, and glued it to dusk pink cardstock.  I then set the florals as if they were coming off the inside of the left of the circle.




Next, I set the photo to the right of the circle.   In order to elongate the swag throughout the page, I used the JOYFUL DAY Press plate, and  JOYFUL DAY die  to create a few leaf die cuts 




I added a few of the JOYFUL DAY die cuts along the florals to complete the fullness of the swag.  I then added a few embellishments to complete the page.




I hope this inspires you to check all the new products in this release.  You are going to love all the possibilities!!




Of course to celebrate the release, Pinkfresh Studio is hosting a generous giveway!

ALTENEW BUILD-A-FLOWER: BEGONIA RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY


Hi there!
Welcome to the ALTENEW BUILD-A-FLOWER: BEGONIA RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY.  You are arriving from Laura Jane's blog ( a list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience).



I love the first day of each month -not just for the fresh start- as it is time for a new BAF set; and this time is all about the BEGONIA  (which is one of the first stamps i got from Altenew).  This set is so versatile, and super easy to layer that it took no time to create this page for my Family album:



I started by creating a mask of the flower and leaf using the die set.   Then used Black Obsidian Ink to stamp the flowers around the edges of the page.  Once i stamped a few flowers as a basis, i used the masks to help me build the cluster of flowers on the edges.





To add a bit of detail to the outline flowers, I used Limestone Crisp ink and stamped the last detailed image onto them; this just bring a bit of accent to each of the petals and creates a soft depth on the flowers.





The trifold pamphlet that comes with the stamp set is always my starting point/inspiration.  This time, i chose the color of the Begonia's from the layering guide example. So i used Golden Sunset and Sea Shore mini ink cube sets to create a few color Begonias for the page.




Once i set the picture on the right side of the page, i balance the layout by adding a large title on opposite positions.  I combined the sentiments in the BAF: Begonia stamp set with  the word "you" -made from black metallic cardstock cut with the bold alpha die set".




The finishing touch was adding the colored Begonias on a soft diagonal design across the layout.  Just love how this turned out!   The delicate design of the flower and the color of the ink just bring this every day memory to live.

Now the part that you all have been waiting for: GIVEAWAY

ALTENEW JANUARY 2020 STAMP/DIE/STENCIL RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY



Hi there!
Welcome to the ALTENEW JANUARY 2020 STAMP/DIES/STENCIL RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Nicole Watt's blog  ( a list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post).



I am so excited to join in today's release as there are a new set of possibilities being open with these Altenew goodies. With so much to chose from, i created quite a few projects, so let's get started:


Sweet Golden Hour




The new Wild Flora Stamp and Die set were used to create this layout about that magical hour of the day.   The delicate and intricate design in the flowers is just precious, so i decided to stamp a few of the images onto white heavy cardstock using Black Obsidian Pigment ink.  






To emphasize the details of the Wild Flora stamped images, i used my blending brushes to add a few touches of Sugar Plums and Fall Harvest mini ink sets on the background of a 8.5x11 paper.  I attached this to a 12x12 piece of fuchsia cardstock, and then added the picture and florals to create a diagonal design on the page.





To finish the page, i added a few touches of gold around the picture, and a title made with the Script Words 3 die set and plum cardstock.    The small gems and sequin on the page help to guide your eye through the simple but gorgeous flowers.  Just love how this came together.


Plant Lady




As soon as i saw the new Bold Drape stamp set and the Mod Vases Stamp/Die/Stencil set, i knew i can easily combine them to create a layout about my plant-loving-mom.     I started by creating the background for the layout using the Bold Drape Stamp set and Silverstone crisp ink.




To make the color of the flower pot stand out, i stamped the single floral images with Spring Bouquet set inks, and fussy cut them out.   I used the Mod Vase Die set to cut a few of the vases out of white cardstock.    I aligned the Mod Vase Stencil set on top of each of the vases, and mask an area with washi tape, then added a bit of Industrial Diamond ink to the vases.   All that was left to do is add foam adhesive and complete the page with them.  Simple and colorful!


He is Nine





Who doesn't love a versatile background stamp!   The new Tartan stamp set is amazing and gives you so many options to customize your one-of-a-kind background.  I decided to combine two layouts into one by combining the colors in the tartan print and decorations.




I chose Lapis Lazuli and  Red Sunset mini ink sets as well as Black Obsidian ink to create the first Tartan background on white cardstock.  I used the print to back the picture and cut the large heart (using the Halftone Hearts Die set).  I set all of this on gray cardstock and added embellishments to match the colors.



For the second page, i chose to vary the colors of the Tartan design, and used Limestone ink for the background of the background.   This time i cut the heart from the same cardstock as the background of the first layout, and added blue behind the picture.  I chose to cut the Congrats Frame die four times from white cardstock.  The newDie Cutting Metal Shim is perfect to obtain a crisp image of the frames.



I cut the word  out of the frame stacked them together, and used it as decoration for the layouts.  The Tartan stamp set is so versatile, a real must have!


Hello 44





I love simple large outline stamps, as you can customize them to create your own designs, so i pulled the new Incredible Stamp/Die set to create this page about my latest celebration.




The flowers in the Incredible Stamp set are amazing, but there are no leaves to match the set, so i decide to use the Retro Plantines stamp set to white emboss a frame all around the layout.     I added a soft color background using  inks and my ink blending brush, and then added the embossed images,  These create a soft textured background for the page.





While the background set, i used Enchanted Gold Ink and Crystal Clear embossing powder to create the outline of each of the flowers.  Though Alcohol markers are not my favorite way of coloring, i decided to detail each of the flowers with the teal markers from Altenew Artist Marker set D.  





I used the cake toppers to create the title of the page, and then used the Hello sentiment from the Retro Plantines stamp set to complete the title work.


Remember That Day





This is probably my favorite layout of this release.  I combined the Rounded Rectangles Die Set and Simple Beauty Stamp and Die set to create this page about a very special soul, Brandi Kinkaid.





I used the Rounded Rectangles die set to create all the wonky frames that form the background from a Our Family collection paper.  A bit of foam adhesive help to keep them in place.   The color in Brandi's shirt was the inspiration for the page  and the colors in the flowers ( Sweet Dream and Summer Afternoon Ink sets).    The following video will show you how this page came together:





Oh, how i love this page, and Brandi, too!   I think the new releases are some of my most favorite stamp sets.  There is such versatility and variety in design that i cannot wait to see how you all will use the sets in your projects.


Now,  it is time for the  funnest part of this blog hop:  GIVEAWAY TIME!
