Birthday Wishes with Pinkfresh Studio - A Collaboration Hop!

It's my birthday! YAY! It's also my crafty friend Ciara from Ciara T Designs birthday! To celebrate, we're doing a little collaboration hop with our channels where we made each other a birthday card that using each other's favorite color. If you know Ciara, you know she loves purple! So I went all in with the purple, I attempted some mixed media which she is just pro at, and finally some beautiful florals that remind me of her cards.

You can watch my process video down below where I show my hot foiled flowers, colored them in with their coordinating stencils, created my Distressed background and adding the final touches of an embossed sentiment and gems. I cannot wait to watch Ciara's video - there's a link to her video in my video description, so head over to watch it on YouTube!

Fall Icons for Thanksgiving with Pretty Pink Posh

Hi, friends! I wanted to share a simple but cute card for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday using the Fall Icons Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies! I started with stenciling my background using the Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils with brown ink with the (A) stencil and red ink with the (B) stencil on white cardstock that measures 3.5 x 4.75”. This panel was adhered to a piece of kraft cardstock trimmed to 4 x 5.25”, then onto an A2 card base.

The six Fall Icons were stamped with my stamping platform first in a brown alcohol marker friendly ink and I colored them with alcohol markers. You can watch the YouTube video below if you want to see a close up of the coloring and the complete process of making the card. After I was done coloring, I put the paper back into the stamping platform and stamped the images again with a darker brown ink that is not alcohol marker friendly to create darker lines around the images.

I cut all of the images with the smaller circle in the Fall Icons Coordinating Die Set as well as six scalloped circles out of kraft cardstock. I layered the circles with adhesive and added foam adhesive to the back. I then added them to the card! You can step up this card by adding a sentiment or minimizing the spacing to add more icons. I hope this brings you some inspiration today and you’re excited to head into the holiday season like I am!

Greetings Earthlings Shadow Box Card with The Sassy Club

Playing along with Craft Roulette for Sassy Club Sunday! I had such a busy weekend, I'm just getting my Sassy Club project posted... I swear one day I'll be ahead of schedule again! I have to travel for work soon, so I definitely will be working on getting ahead to keep my posts on schedule. But let's get back to this shadow box card! I started with coloring my images and I fussy cut them - there are dies, but I don't have them.

Next I ink blended my sky background and used stencil paste to add my stars. I did lots of die cutting from the Book Card Die Set and Pride Rock Die to create my out of this world scene. I added some Distress Oxides and splatter to my die cuts and added some of the matching pattern paper to the sides and back of the shadow box. My sentiment is embossed with black ink and clear powder onto vellum to not hide too much of the background.

 I think it turned out really cute and is perfect for Craft Roulette this week!

Halloween Hill with Miss Ink Stamps - Sneak Peek!

Happy Fandom Friday! ...and Thursday with yesterday's post and tomorrow will be my actual video with the new release from Miss Ink Stamps! I was so excited to receive the Halloween Hill layering stencil set. Can you believe this card is just one layer? I love all of the dimension and color that you can achieve from a stencil set and the fact that I can mail it with just one stamp is pretty great, too.

I used all of the stencils from this release to create my Halloween Hill scene. I used Distress Oxides to add in the color and Distress Ink in Black Soot to add the windows, grin on the hill, sentiment, masked kids and to darken the sky as much as possible. Once my stenciling was done, I added some splatter and die cut it with a rectangle die to fit perfectly on an A2 card. Make sure to head over to Instagram to see inspiration using the products from the other new products from this release from different designers. Release is going to be this Saturday!
