Pinkfresh Studio| March Release Cling Stamp, Stencil, Die and Hot Foil Release
Happy Monday, Crafty Friends!
The wait is over!! Pinkfresh Studio's March Release is HERE!!! This release is bursting with crafty goodies from the stamps, dies, and stencils to the new hot foil stamps! Oh yes, it's time to get crafty!
The Joyful Peonies is a versatile collection with its coordinating stamp, die, stencil, and hot foil stamp. By using the same supplies, but changing the color palette, I was able to create two similar, but very different cards to showcase the Joyful Peonies. To create my first card, I did a no-line coloring technique with the Joyful Peonies stamp in shades of pale red in the Copic marker family. I then added highlights and shading with my colored pencils. I love pairing texture with florals, so after inking the background panel with Peach Fuzz, Ocean, and Tidal Pond inks, I added a few white inky splatters. I then added vellum leaves to the floral arrangement with the Curvy Leaves die. A foil embossed sentiment using the new Celebrate hot foil stamp completes this card
My second card features similar elements like the Joyful Peonies and Curvy Leaves. However, this time I decided to stretch my dies by creating a smaller lattice focal point with the Simply Diamonds die. I started by creating a frame and then gluing it to the Simply Diamonds diecut. Once I had the area I wanted to keep, I cut off the excess with my trimmer. Viola! I love a punch of color with black and white, so I stamped an A2 panel with the Bougainvillea Print stamp, which is gorgeous by the way, and added my peony bouquet. A simple sentiment from the Flower Garden stamp set completes this card.

Hello, Crafty Friends!
It is that time again...time for a Scrapbook.com LIVE (HERE)! Today's LIVE features the Ink Pad Storage Bundle.
If you are like me, you have probably been crafting for a while and have ink pad storage solutions that work for you and your space. My craft space is not very large, so finding functional, affordable, and aesthetically pleasing pieces is important to me. So maybe it's time to think outside the box.
I store my ink pad storage unit on a shelf above my Pops of Color. This way I can see the cards my sweet crafty friends have sent me. Thank you for stopping by! And don't forget to check out the Scrapboo.com LIVE (HERE).
Happy Crafting!

Happy Monday, Crafty Friends!
How was your weekend? I had a chance to spend quality time with friends as we enjoyed a relaxing day. Today, I am sharing one of the cards I made this weekend using the new Scrapbook.com Moroccan Tile and Slimline Nested Rectangles.
There are many different ways to use the new slimline dies. You can use this die to diecut, dry emboss, create a stencil, paper-piecing, or in the case of this card, use the diecut pieces to create a pattern. I love it when I can stretch my crafty tools to get the most from them.
I used several techniques to create this layered card. First, I used the Slimline Nested Rectangles to cut a slimline card front from white cardstock. I inked the diecut panel with Pinkfresh Studio's Lemon Whip ink and Tea Dye Distress Ink. I paired the warm, buttery yellow from the Warms Slimline paper pad with the new Painted Peony washi and dies. I added vintage handwriting to the panel and used the Moroccan diecut panel to layout my design for the pop-out diecut pieces. A few inky gold splatters finishes the panel. The focal point for my card uses the beautiful Painted Peony. I paired this with the Leafy Branch die to provide extra foliage. And the sentiments from the Painted Peony stamp set are so impactful. I stamped the sentiment "Small Things Have Great Power" in Detail Black ink to complete this fanciful card.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a chance to step into your craftroom this week and make something beautiful.
Happy Crafting,
Keia
