Pinkfresh Studio May 2023 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release



Hello crafters! Today I'm joining Pinkfresh Studio for its May release blog hop. It's another delicious collection with something for everyone. I'm featuring two products: Delicate Foliage and Pretty Blossoms.

Delicate Foliage

The Delicate Foliage suite of products consists of a Hot Foil plate, Stamp set, Dies, and Stencils. You choose!

Hot foiled the Delicate Foliage Hot Foil plate with gold foil on Hammermill Cardstock, Premium Color Copy 100lb. It's inexpensive and I almost always get perfect results. Using the coordinating stencil, added a spring collection of Pinkfresh Studio ink colors to the leaves. If you look closely, you'll see that the stencil adds leaves outside of the foiled leaves. Love that. Cut the leaves using the Delicate Leaves coordinating die and set aside to work on my background.

Using the same Pinkfresh Studio inks, swiped the ink cubes directly onto another piece of Hammermill cardstock. Adhered the leaves and the inked panel to a white A2 card and added a few Pinkfresh Studio Essentials Jewels in coordinating colors.

Pinkfresh Ink colors: Sunshine, Sweet Mustard, Apricot, Passion Fruit, Candy Violet, and Blue Jay. 


Did a happy dance!

Pretty Blossoms



The Pretty Blossoms suite consists of a red rubber background stamp, hot foil plate, stencils, and a die. Again, choose what makes you happy.

Foiled the Pretty Blossoms plate onto melon cardstock using tangerine hot foil and stenciled using Pinkfresh inks. Die cut and popped up with foam tape onto an A2 card. Added a few white accents with a gel pen. 

Stamped a sentiment from Simplest Gestures and matted it onto a piece of cardstock that I hot foiled with the tangerine foil and the Pinkfresh Studio Solid Hot Foil Plate

Solid Pretty Blossoms


Speaking of the Solid Hot Foil Plate, I had to try it with the foil leftover from using the Pretty Blossoms Hot Foil plate and it was fun. If you are not familiar with this plate and how to use it check out this video. Basically, the solid plate lets you use the leftover foil from another project to create the opposite image. Genius

For this card, I used the leftover foil from the card above and hot foiled it onto a piece of Hammermill cardstock. To keep this shiny card simple, I die cut the image and added a foiled sentiment from Phrase Builder: Hello hot foil and its coordinating die

Playing with Playful Pieces

 


It's not very often that I see a product and set my alarm for the moment it is released. Concord & 9th came out with the Playful Pieces die and sentiment bundle and I knew they would be mine! 

I'll be sharing more with these products as I had a lot of fun making this card. Isn't that what it is all about?


MOOD WHEN DONE: Happy!!
