You are Amazing Card

I like to make tags but find I don’t tend to use them as tags (unless it’s Christmas) so instead I usually use them in my card making. This is one such card that started out as a tag. 
I used my lovely PinkFresh Spring Floral stamps for the floral bunch and then the small sentiment comes from the Just Because stamp set. 




I used a mix of both PinkFresh liquid water colors and stamps to Color up the tag. Some ribbon and a little bling and that was that! 



I was happy with how it all came together.

Remembering Sending The Invitations

A great photo taken while we were getting the invitations ready to mail for Grams 100th birthday celebration all those years ago. 
This layout came together quite quickly. I played around with some white paint to give a slightly distressed look to the blue background paper. The pink and white paper on the side came from the Let’s Stay Home collection from Pinkfresh. The sweet dies are from the Dainty Blossoms also from Pinkfresh - my go to for all things floral.

Christmas decorating layout

This scrapbook layout was a bit of a challenge. I felt like it should have a Christmas feel to it but traditional Christmas colors didn’t seem to work because of the colors in the picture. So instead I settled for using the Pinkfresh Christmas florals - going with mostly the greenery to use around the photo. I also chose to use the small poinsettia in the orange in the corner. Definitely different to what I originally had set out to create but now that it is finished I have to say I think it turned out ok. 



I used the sketch from the monthly challenge from the Pinkfresh Facebook fan page to also help guide my creating.

Pink Fresh Card

I have a simple card that I created using primarily Pinkfresh Studio items following a design sketch from their Facebook fan page and colors from their Monthly challenge.
The floral die is from the Dainty Blossoms dies, the background heart paper is from their Let’s Stay Home Collection, and the Just Because stamp comes from one of my favourite stamp sets.

Another Pink Fresh Christmas Card

I just love challenges to get me in the crafty card making mood. I need to get my Christmas cards ready because of course before we know it Christmas will be upon us! So I figured that I would put my Pink Fresh Christmas florals to work and make some beautiful watercolour florals. Pink Fresh watercolours are so amazing and vibrant. I popped up he floral on foam tape because of course “dimension is life”!

Pink Fresh Christmas Card

I really need to continue to grow my Christmas card stash. So here is the first of hopefully many Pink Fresh Christmas cards. 
Look at these beautiful Pink Fresh Poinsettia floral clusters. I stamped and gold embossed both the floral and the sentiment. A great floral to watercolour. I used the red and green watercolours to colour it. Of course I had to pop it up with foam tape - because of course “dimension is life”.

Pink Fresh Simple Floral Card

Ok, I have found a simple design that I can make in many different colours that will create a beautiful set of cards. I am going to be making them in a rainbow of colours using various Thank you stamps. I have never before liked a clean and simple design like I do this one. The Dainty Blossoms dies are just perfect for making these clean and simple cards.

Pink Fresh Watercolour Card

Pink Fresh watercolours are the absolute best liquid watercolours. They are so beautifully vibrant and you can mix them in so many ways. I honestly think that I far prefer watercolours to markers. But that being said I am still learning and very rich a newbie when it comes to watercolouring. 
Today has been a fun day in my craft area. I had a chance to make many cards for all of the 12 Pink Fresh World Card Making Day challenges. 



This card just kind of created itself. The floral Pink Fresh stamp was stamped in the versa mark ink and then heat embossed in silver. I used the greens, blues, pinks, and purples of the watercolours.

Pink Fresh Rainbow Blossoms

I had the chance to play again and make a simple slimline card. I used the Dainty Blossoms die to create the lovey rainbow of florals. 
The background is just a simple wash of the Pink Fresh Watercolour in sky blue.

Pink Fresh Clean and Simple Monochromatic

Another fun card to make. I absolutely love those Dainty Blossoms dies. They are so beautiful and they cut like a hot knife through butter. I think that the deep purple looks so striking against the white background.

Pink Fresh Smile shaker card

This is a cute little shaker card that I created for the Pink Fresh challenge. I used my amazing watercolours to colour the background in an ombré of aquamarine. I also used the same colour to tint the edges all around the mounting for the card. The beautiful floral on the bottom is from the Just Because stamp set that I heat embossed with silver.






Shaker cards are so much fun with all the lovely little beads and sequins in it to shake.

PInk Fresh Studio challenge card

Today I am playing in my craft room to create more cards. For inspiration I am using the various challenges from the Pink Fresh Studio World Card Making Day. This card came together relatively quickly. I looked down on my craft desk and saw this lovely floral digital die that I had cut out but not used on other projects and when I set it down on this striped paper from the Let’s Stay Home Paper pad I knew I had the base that I would create. 



I decided to use the stamp Thinking of You in a nice white ink to be able to use it for a sympathy card. 

I also then used my wink of Stella to add some lovely but subtle sparkle and shine to the floral.

Slimline Pink Fresh Card

Here is a slimline card that I created for the following Pink Fresh Challenge:

I don’t often do slimline cards but with World Card Making Day I figured that I would give it a go! And I am very glad that I did. 
I used a Pink Fresh Studio free digital die and then added some die cut elements from the Dainty Blossoms dies. I also backed both the floral die and the card with some of that lovely blue patterned paper from the Lets Stay Home collection. That collection is definitely a current favourite of mine. 
A fun card to create.  I also like to use very generic sentiments- that way the card will easily work for a number of different occasions. The sentiment is from the Just Because floral stamp set. 



Thanks for a day full of fun challenges Pink Fresh! Now what else should I create?? 

Pink Fresh No stamping Challenge

This is a card that I created that followed the challenge of no stamped elements in it. I created it using the paper from the Lets Stay Home paper pack as well as pieces from the coordinating ephemera pack. I added some die cuts from the Dainty Blossoms dies. I was happy with how it turned out. I then popped it up of foam to give the dimension to the card. As I always hear them say on all those wonderful Pink Fresh video tutorials “Dimension is life”. 



What a great challenge for World Card Making Day. I can’t wait to create more lovely cards.
