Happy Tuesday, Crafty Friends!
I hope you enjoyed yesterday's blog hop. Today, the Pinkfresh Studio Creative Team is on Instagram sharing more lovely creations from the Die Essentials release.
The card features the new Mini Slimline Essentials Bundle paired with the Miss Your Smile stamp set. The Miss Your Smile has a beautiful floral design that is perfect for coloring. I used Copic markers and added colored pencils for additional shading and depth. I took a chance and colored the background a beautiful, deep blue. The coordinating Mini Slimline Envelope fits the card perfectly. A simple sentiment and few clear drops completes this card.

Hello, sweet friends!
Happy Monday! What a wonderful way to start the week with a little creative inspiration. Today, is Pinkfresh Studio's May Release, Die Essentials. I enjoy participating in the essentials releases because these dies are the foundation for card making and add just the right touch to elevate your creativity.
I used the new Stitched Scallop Square to create this card, which is a new addition to this collection (including the slimline and rectangle dies version). I appreciate the lovely stitching and scalloped detailing these dies provide. I stamped a white 4.25x4.25 card panel using the Nested Chevron image with Storm and Slumber dye inks and proceeded to diecut the panel with the largest stitched scallop rectangle die. I used foam tape to pop up the inset border. The floral image is from the Friendship Blooms stamp/die set. I stamped the image using Detail Black ink and colored it with Copic markers and Polychomo colored pencils. The Perfect Sentiment stamp/die set is wonderful for finding the right sentiment and a few amber jewels completes this card.
Pinkfresh Studio loves spreading joy, so as with each release, Pinkfresh Studio will be gifting the ENTIRE May release to one (1) lucky creative from their blog and one (1) creative from their YouTube channel.

Happy Friday, Crafty Friends!
Today, I am sharing two cards featuring the Happy Blooms collection from Pinkfresh Studio. Pinkfresh Studio is known for its lovely scrapbook collections; however, these collections are versatile and work well for cardmaking.
The Floral Ephemera is a lovely collection of flowers that pair nicely with the miscellaneous images in the Ephemera pack. Together, these two packs make it easy to create a collage and create an eye-catching focal point. I used the Shaker Tag dies to create a symmetrical background and used the Happy Blooms 6x6 paper pad to cover the peek-a-boo squares. I little glittery butterfly completes each card.
Visit Pinkfresh Studio's Instagram feed for a chance to win 1 of ten (10) $25 gift cards or three (3) creatives will win the entire Happy Blooms collection. And along the Instagram Hop, you will be inspired by the collection of scrapbook layouts, mini albums, and cards. To be eligible to win, leave a comment on the designers' posts along the hop. The winners will be announced on May 28th on Pinkfresh Studio's Instagram page and in their IG stories.
Good morning, Crafty Friends!
Today is Pigment Craft Company's June release. This release is filled with wonderful stamps and dies that evoke memories of spring and summer. Imagine u-pick farms and fresh berries bursting with flavor shared with family and friends.
To create this card, I started by stamping the Berry Patch stamp in three shades of red to give a depth of color. The leaves are stamped in a rich green. I then diecut the image and used scissors to cut apart the diecut image so I could arrange the colorful strawberries in the stacked bowls. I used the alphabets from the Dashing Outline Fonts to create the "Hello" and then used the Simply Sentiments Hello "Sweet Friend" to complete my card.
Pigment Craft Co. is hosting an Instagram Hop to celebrate their new June release.

Happy Monday, Crafty Friends!
I enjoyed a creatively productive weekend. With less than one week until summer vacation, I spent time in my craft room designing Thank You cards for my boys' teachers.
Recently, Scrapbook.com released several new Pocket Cards for scrapbooking, Elementary and Graduation. The pocket cards make wonderful backgrounds. I loved the look of the new cards with their vibrant colors and decided to pair them with a few of my favorite stamps and dies.
Waffle Flower's Hello stamp and die with its cute little people is perfect for my son's fifth-grade teacher. I stamped the image and colored the little boy to look like my son. A bold Thank You sentiment, scissors, and composition books using stickers from Echo Park's I Love School collection completes this cute card. The other cards use the same techniques and were so fun to make.
The Graduation pocket cards are in a neutral color palette of black, grey, and white. To create this card, I used the new Graduation stamp set from Scrapbook.com, with its lovely fonts, and used an eclipse technique to design this card.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful week and are able to carve out a little creative time for yourself.
Happy Crafting,

Good morning, fellow crafters!
I am popping in for a quick post this morning. Can I tell you I am running on empty? As the last few days of school loom on the horizon, I am busy trying to make sure my boys have a fun and productive summer, keep their attention focused on school...yes, until the end...and give all their teachers the high fives and kudos they deserve for getting them through this academic year. Whew! But there is something about enjoying a moment in my craft room to reset and refresh.
To create this card, I stamped the Heartfelt Thanks stamp in Detail Black ink and then used a rainbow of Pinkfresh Studio dye inks to color in a strip of vibrant color. I used colored pencils and Tombow markers to add a bit more color and shading to my card front. A simple sentiment and a quick border make for a simple, but colorful card. And yes, it still took me two hours to create. LOL!
Happy Crafting,
Keia
