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.

All the winners will be selected and announced on April 5th, 2023 in the Pinkfresh Studio Giveaway Page. Be sure to check it!

Good Luck everyone!

Now let's continue the fun. Here is the list of today's participants. Have fun and thank you so much for stopping by!

Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Dynamic Blossoms Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

Hello there!

Welcome to ALTENEW CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: DYNAMIC BLOSSOMS RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from my friend Mindy Eggen's blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience

This month's CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: DYNAMIC BLOSSOMS is super gorgeous, and versatile. You can easily create all sorts of paper crafting projects with it. Let me show you what I have created with it

The new 3D Embossing folder from the new CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT : DYNAMIC BLOSSOMS is awesome. Having a matching Stencil set, makes this folder even more versatile as you can easily add color to the embossed area

I partially embossed my card panel, then used the stencil with metallic ink to highlight the embossed surface. I added a sentiment from the matching stamp set and a few gems to complete this card.

For my next project, I wanted to focus on the CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT : DYNAMIC BLOSSOMS stamp set. I created two of the blossoms using the stamp and stencil set for this pocket page spread.

The first die cut was used highlight my title. I decided to add it as if cascading from the top of the page.

I used the second blossom to create my pocket cards. I simply cut it up and use it on premade cards. I also added the small sentiment die cuts to one of the cards as a subtitle for my page.

I just love how easily this came together with the new CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: DYNAMIC BLOSSOMS. Remember you can always secure your monthly kit by using Altenew's Subscription program.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Laelia Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($200 in total prizes)

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW BUILD-A-FLOWER: LAELIA BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Verity Biddlecombe's blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

The new BUILD-A-FLOWER: LAELIA is gorgeous! Super easy to layer, lots of movement in the design, and always with gorgeous details. I couldn't resist adding them to my "ME" pocket journal

I just love the movement of the BAF:LAELIA, and wanted to se it to create the title page and journaling card for my page. Since, I am using the b-side of the previous layout as the base for the page. I decided to bring some of those warm tones by creating the BAF flower with coral and bright green tones.

I stamped the outlines of my flowers with Obsidian ink, then used coordinating Crips dye inks to create all the leaves, and flowers. I used two of the florals and a few of the filling greenery to create a top cluster for the page. I then used the Mega Brush Alpha Stamp set to stamp the title together on cardstock, this was then fussy cut and glued under the floral images.

I decided to use the same idea as in the title page to create my journaling card. This helped to tie the two sides of the spread together, and have a cohesive page. Just love it!

The new BAF: LAELIA is probably one of my favorite BAF sets. I cannot wait to see what you create with it. Remember that you can secure your stamp by registering to Altenew Subscription program... just click here for more details.
