Pinkfresh Studio “Twinkle & Tradition” Release Blog Hop

 

A Holiday Card Full of Stories

The brand-new Twinkle & Tradition Release by Pinkfresh Studio is here,

and I couldn't wait to dive in!!

This Release is all about cozy holiday charm, sparkling details, and timeless designs that make your Christmas Cards shine.

For today`s project, I created a festive card featuring 

the stunning Tree of Tales Set.

I love how the playful pile of books forms a whimsical Christmas Tree shape - 

such as unique twist for holiday crafting.

Design Details 🌟

★ Background: I kept the base elegant with a soft golden cardstock and

 the Evergreen Sparkle Coverplate Die from the release.

It adds texture and sparkle without overpowering the focal point.

★ Focal Image: For the tree I used the Tree of Tales Stencil Set using 

a pastel color palette of Sparkling Rose, Apricot and Olive Ink Pads.

This softer color story gives the card a warm yet modern holiday feel.

Line up the coordinating die over the colored image and die-cut.

For extra stability, die-cut two or three plain white layers and 

glue them behind the colored piece to create a sturdy, chipboard-like embellishment.

★ Sentiment: I used the Once Open a Holiday Press Plate and the coordinating die with gold hot foil for the greeting

 "May your Holiday Season be filled with stories worth telling".

The foiled finish adds a crisp, luminous shine.

★ Finishing Touches: A few metallic pearls highlight the design and tie everything together 🌟

The Twinkle & Tradition Release blends classic holiday motifs with creative, fresh ideas. From starry backgrounds to thoughtful sentiments and playful icons, every piece feels versatile and inspiring. Whether you lean toward traditional red and green or softer, pastel palettes, this collection works beautifully.

I can`t wait tho share more projects with this release - there are so many possibilities! Be sure to check out the full release over at Pinkfresh Studio and get inspired for your  own holiday crafting.

Happy Crafting

Pinkfresh Studio “Whispering Views” Release Blog Hop

Hi Friends!

Today I'm sharing a bold and encouraging card that's perfect for 

celebrating someone's big or small achievements.

I created this "Proud of You Always" card 

using some fabulous new products from Pinkfresh Studio, 

and I love how it turned out - full off color, dimension and positivity!

🧰 Supplies used:

    • Mark the Moment Stamp Set

    • Mark the Moment Stencil Set

    • Mark the Moment Coordinating Die Set

    • Ink Pads (for the trophy)

    

✂️ How to make it:

1. Create the background:

I used the Hexagon Tiles Die from the Mark the Moment Coordinating Die Set

 to cut several panels from cardstock in different cool tones – 

white, teal, turquoise, mint, and light blue.

 Then I pieced them together on an A2 card base like a puzzle.

 It’s super satisfying and adds such a graphic, modern look.

2. Trophy centerpiece:

Next, I used the trophy image from the Mark the Moments Stencil Set 

and lightly ink blended it with a soft yellow-orange to give it a golden glow.

 I die-cut it using the coordinating die.

3. Sentiments:

I stamped “You rock” and cut it into a tiny banner to layer over the trophy. 

Then I stamped “Proud of you always” in bold black and

 popped it up with foam adhesive for added dimension.

4. Final assembly:

I placed the trophy on a die cutter circle from the Die Set

 in the center of the hexagon background and

 layered the sentiments for a balanced, eye-catching result.

💬 Final thoughts:

I love how this card turned out – 

a great combination of clean lines, positive vibes, and a pop of playful color. 

Perfect for graduations, promotions, or just because someone deserves to hear it. 💛

Thanks for stopping by!

 Be sure to check out the Whispering Views Release from Pinkfresh Studio – 

it’s such a fun and encouraging set to create with!

Stay crafty 💛

🍨 Sweet Summer Vibes: Ice Cream Truck Card Tutorial 🍦

✂️ Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Background

Start with a light pink A2 card base.

This soft pastel tone sets a sweet, dreamy mood for your design.

You can also lightly blend some ink around the edges for added depth.

2. Color and Die Cut your Ice Cream Truck

The truck is first ink blended using the stencil Set and then die cut.

Use your die cutting machine and coortinating die 

to cut out the ice cream truck shape. 

3. Add Details with Stamps

Stamp cute elements like ice cream cones and the adorable animal driver

 with Versamark and heat emboss it white.

Color them with the matching stencils and soft dye inks for a sweet pastel palette.

4. Build the Scene

Cut the truck into two parts.

Adhere the back part of the truck onto the right edge of the card and

 the front part onto the left edge.

 Use foam dots to pop up for dimensions.

Layer the ice cream elements on top of the truck.

 Don't forget to add tiny touches like the small waffle cones and the animal driver into the windows.

5. Sentiment and Embellishments

Stamp the sentiment "Happiness is a cone away" directly onto the background.

Then, finish off your card with sparkling jewels and 

some stamped stars for that extra touch of magic.

This Ice Cream Truck Card is perfect for birthdays, thank-you notes,

 or just a happy hello.

 It's a little scene that tells a story - one of sweetness, joy and endless summer treats. I hope this inspires you to create your own version!

Stay crafty & cool 🍨

Pinkfresh Studio “Good Times” Release Blog Hop

🌸 DIY Card Inspiration with Pinkfresh Studio’s Plumeria Stamp Set 🌸

Hi crafty friends!

Today I’m excited to share a soft and elegant card design that I created 

using the beautiful Plumeria Stamp Set and 

the Double Stitched Elongated Oval Die Set from.

This dreamy floral card is perfect for sending a heartfelt message to someone special ... especially someone with a beautiful soul.

Products Used:

- Plumeria Stamp Set

- Plumeria Layering Stencil - for soft, effortless coloring

- Plumeria Die Set - to perfectly cut out the stamped and stenciled image

- Double Stitched Elongated Oval Die Set - adds an elegant base layer

- Beautiful Soul Stamp Set - for the sentiment

- Pinkfresh Studio Premium Dye Inks - in fresh greens and soft pinks

- White embossing powder - for that touch of luxury

- Foam adhesive - to add dimension

Cardmaking Process:

1. I started by stamping the Plumeria floral cluster in clear embossing ink and 

heat embossed it with white embossing powder. 

This gives the image a delicate, 

shiny outline that really elevates the entire look.

2. Using the coordinating layering stencils,

 I softly blended shades of green and pink onto the flowers and leaves. 

The layering stencils make it so easy to achieve a professional, shaded look without

needing advanced coloring skills.

3. After stenciling, I used the coordinating die to cut out the floral piece. 

I also cut a base from blush cardstock using the Double Stitched Elongated Oval Die,

which adds a lovely stitched detail and

frames the floral design perfectly.

4. I mounted the stitched oval on a matching blush card base, 

then added the florals with foam tape for

some depth and dimension. 

The final touch is a gold heat-embossed sentiment:

"For a beautiful soul" - which is included in the Beautiful Soul Stamp Set.

This card came together beautifully and feels both soft and elegant.

 The combination of the Plumeria florals and

 the stitched oval background creates a serene and graceful design that's

perfect for many occasions-from sympathy and encouragement to just-because.

If you haven't tried the Plumeria set yet,

 I highly recommend it-especially paired with Pinkfresh's

layering stencils and delicate dies. It's a dream to work with!

Happy crafting!

Karin
