Thinking of You Striped Floral Card

Have I mentioned how much I love (all) the Pink Fresh Studio floral layered stencils? Yes? Well let me say it again!! I Love them!! Oh and I also hooked my mom on them when we were crafting together this summer. I really enjoyed playing with all my ink colors and all my stencils just creating panel after panel that I then die cut to use as embellishments for future cards and scrapbook layouts. I have lots of baggies of beautiful florals. 
So of course I started with those gorgeous florals to create this card. It was so much fun!



These florals are from the Be Strong stencil / stamp /die set. I love how you can use any or all items together. I love purple flowers so I started with that and built the card from there. 
I enjoyed using for the first time my new background die (definitely an essential die)! Whenever I use blues and purples I tend to gravitate towards using silver and this time was no different with the lovely sentiment. Add a few beautiful jewels and there you have it. 



I had so much fun on this card. I will be entering this in the following challenges. 



You’re The Sweetest Fall Card

Here is a simple card that I made in the fall color  tones of yellow, orange, burgundy and purples. I chose to use grey tones for the leaves this time. 



I used one of my favourite floral stencils the Pink Fresh Studio Be Strong stencil and die set. The sentiment is also from Pink Fresh Studio as a stamp and die set. One day I will invest in a hot foil machine and then I will need to coordinating hot foil plate. But until then I stamp and sometimes emboss the sentiments. 



I also used an essential die scalloped circle die (yup also from Pink Fresh Studio). 

Seriously- if you haven’t checked out Pink Fresh Studio yet - what are you waiting for?! Their floral stencils are so awesome!! I absolutely love inking up those gorgeous stencils.

Today Layout

Treasure These Memories Today is the layout I created to remember my son getting his learners license and how thrilled he was to share his special achievement with his Great Grandmother. 


I wanted to use the Garden Wreath Die to embellish the simple block letters for the Title TODAY. I love how the green and mauve leaves work on the letters. 
The title is also set off by the mixed media created with the PinkFresh yellow liquid water color. 



I used papers from the Happy Blooms collection. I also cut apart some for those green blue and yellow simple banner title strips that all fit my feelings of the day.

Hi with lovely leaves card

It’s a good thing that I had made time at the start of the month to create a card for the Pinkfresh September challenge because I have definitely been too busy lately to make anything. I am finally now getting around to posting my Hi card. This challenge is all about greenery. 


I enjoyed making every part of this card. The PinkFresh background chevron stamp was fun using the teal inks. I also used my new essential ornate banner die, the lovely Heathers alpha die and the amazing garden wreath die set.

Easter Layout

This is an Easter layout that I created with my newest paper collection Happy Blooms from Pink Fresh Studio. 



I did a simple mixed media background using the amazing liquid water colors from Pinkfresh. I don’t know what I will do when I run out seeing as they are now discontinued - they are my favourite and coordinate perfectly. 



I am such a fan of the amazing Pink Fresh stencils! I love making my own ephemera die cuts to match my Color scheme. I use my Pink Fresh Studio inks or my Distress Inks to blend the perfect creation. 
For this layout I used my Be Strong stencil and die to create those lovely purple flowers. And then also used my newest stencil, Just A Hello Floral, to create the florals down the right side of the photo. 



I love how both of these stencil sets can be used alone or with their matching stamp. I chose to use them on their own this time. 

I am super excited to see what loveliness is in store from Pink Fresh Studio for their holiday release next week September 6th. I am definitely hoping for more stencils! I took my stencils and ink to the cabin and prepped a bunch of gorgeous florals for future use.

Hi Stripe Card

I really love creating with these beautiful Pink Fresh Studio Washi Tape. The beautiful anemone florals are gorgeous on their own but then pair them with the amazing gold foiling around the flowers that’s on it and they are over the top!



 I added some green leaf dies behind it. Of course the florals are popped up on washi tape for beauty is always in dimension. 

I used my favourite alphabet dies - Heather lowercase I love that they have the outer and inner pieces. I also love how they mix and match perfectly with the Lea’s Ornate alphabet dies. 




All these beautiful Pink Fresh Studio items are backed on a paper pieced diagonal striped background that I created in colors to coordinate with those beautiful floral colors. 

I will be entering this in the following challenge. 

Smile Diagonal Stripe Card

Here is a card I created this month for the Pink Fresh Studio August Challenge. The challenge this month is all about stripes. I created my own diagonal striped background to show case the amazing and gorgeous washi tape! I love the gold beauty in the anemone washi tape. 




I also had a chance to use my brand new rectangle essential die. And can I just say - now I know why they call them essential! They are so essential to have in my card making items. I will definitely be getting more of the essential die collection in the future. 


I love to use my favourite word die - smile. It works for so many occasions. 


See the Pink Fresh Studio challenge for so many great submissions.
