Hi Pinkfresh Studio friends! Did you see that in February this year Pinkfresh Studio released the cutest little stamp set called Get Well Soon? The teapot, cup and saucer are so cute and with that little steam cloud! I just couldn't resist designing a card with it. You could colour the images in with your favourite mediums but I used a combination of colouring the images using the Get Well Soon coordinating stencils, and Copics. For the teapot and cup I used Sunkissed & Lemon Whip for the florals. And for the steam handle and saucer, I used Misty Coast and Rocky Slope. I then coloured in the rest of the white space with Copics R01 & R21. You will see that the Big Hello Die compliments the images. To achieve this I ink blended Sunkissed and Lemon Whip on some white cardstock then die cut the blended area. I really wanted some texture for my background. Therefore, I die cut the oldy but goody Hearts & Stars Coverplate Die. Aaaaand a frame from the newly released Notched Corner Frames Die. After I had attached the images where I wanted them with foam dots, I then stamped that wonderful sentiment also from the Get Well Soon and then, die cut it a couple of times to add dimension. Of course, I wanted some glitz and glamour to make it pretty so I used a combination of two Glitter Drops, Champagne and Leaf. Perfect!! As my usual I made a reel for you so, keep an eye out for it over on Instagram @pinkfreshstudio Hopefully you feel inspired friends...until next time

My Design - Fluttering Butterflies Washi Tape This beautiful Fluttering Butterflies Washi Tape has a few different coloured butterflies on it but for my design, I decided to focus on the bluish hues. To be fair, you could do pinks or lilacs too! Using the Shaker Hearts Die set from the Essentials range, I die cut the larger heart in the centre of an A2 card panel. To achieve the fab notched corners on that panel I used the outer part of the brand new Notched Corner Frame Die also from this release. I then added the Ocean Breeze Glitter Cardstock also by Pinkfresh Studio behind the die cut heart. . Also, for added interest, I added it behind the butterflies too. By arranging butterflies over a leafy branch to the left, I had a great area to add my sentiment, which is from the Fluttering Butterflies Stamp Set. To finish, Sky Blue Clear Drops matched perfectly! Well, I hope I have inspired you today friends, but I also hope I have got you in the mood to hop!

Hi Pinkfresh Studio friends! I feel like I am sharing a true labour of love with you today. This card design took me a few hours to bring together due to the amount of detail and dimension involved. The Pure Joy stamp set is up there as one of the prettiest stamp sets by Pinkfresh Studio. It's such an elegant design and I really wanted to take my time with it. I began heat embossing two of the main focal images in white. Then, using the Pure Joy coordinating stencils I blended a number of Pinkfresh Studio dye inks: Lemon Whip, Sage, Wisteria, Ballet Slipper, Eucalyptus and Rocky Slope. After die cutting the images, I layered them up as I knew I wanted them to pop up from that Lemon Whip background. Then, after die cutting the Dotted Chevron Coverplate I ink blended some Ballet Slipper and splattered it with gold. I then framed this with the Stitched Scallop Rectangles using foam strips. By offsetting the circle focal image it allowed me room to add another part of the image in the bottom right corner. All of these images were popped up for dimension. For the sentiment which is also from the Pure Joy stamp set, I heat embossed white on grey cardstock. Black cardstock just did not look right, too bold I think. To finish, it was time for bling. The very pretty Blush Glitter Drops helped tie in all the colours especially the background. Some little dashes of white gel pen, and voila! Make sure you keep an eye out for my reel over on Instagram @pinkfreshstudio and @cherylespiecreates Until next time friends...

Hi crafty friends! Today I have a pretty card that exudes colour and kindness. I think Pinkfresh Studio do sentiments so well. When I saw the Favourite Things Sentiments Press Plates released recently, along with some of the new floral die cut sets-I knew I wanted to pair them up. I have the privilege of having a number of very close friends who I have known for a very long time. Some live close, some live far away. Connection is everything. I sometimes send real flowers to those I care about, but sending a card doesn't die and fade away like flowers do. That reflection is what inspired my card for you today. Let's see how this card design came together. First, I die cut lots of Sweet Blossoms from white cardstock. Then, I laid them out on a grip mat and proceeded to ink blend using the fab Pinkfresh Studio Ink Blending Brushes. I used a mix of Ballet Slipper, Mulberry Blush and Berrylicious for the flowers. For the leaves I used a mix of Sage, Eucalyptus, Evergreen and Lush Forest. For the centres I ink blended in Marigold and added some black dots. Do you see a bit of sparkle going on too? Well, I also die cut Sweet Blossoms from Pinkfresh Studio's Champagne Glitter Cardstock. For that bold background, I used strips of masking tape and then just ink blended around it with Sage and Begonia....love it!! I added some gold splatters too just to tie in the glitter cardstock. To bring this card together I die cut the ribbon strips from the Wrap Around Elements in gold cardstock. Taking my time, I arranged the florals and popped them up with foam dots. To finish, I add that wonderful Kindness press plate sentiment. I think this card would be appreciated just as much as a bouquet of flowers, don't you? Don't forget to check out the reel for this beauty over on Instagram @pinkfreshstudio and @cherylespiecreates Until next time friends...happy crafting!

My Design- Cherry Blossoms and Stippled Plaid Press Plate How pretty are these beautiful Cherry Blossoms? So delicate and perfect. I just couldn't resist die cutting them after I had ink blended them in Cherry Blossom ink by Pinkfresh Studio. For the leaves I used Fresh Pear and Eucalyptus. When I saw the Stippled Plaid Press Plate, I immediately thought of the Cherry Blossom climbing up a trellis. Therefore, I partially inked up the press plate and it left the fab imprint that fades towards the top. I finished by adding that wonderful sentiment from the brand new Happy Vibes Sentiments also from this months release. Well, I hope I have inspired you today friends, but I also hope I have got you in the mood to hop....

Hi crafty friends I have had my eye on these Butterflies by Pinkfresh Studio for soooooo long. I loved them so much I purchased the whole suite-Stamp set, die, stencils and hot foil! To me, the elegance and beauty of this set sums up everything Pinkfresh Studio. I decided to make a set of cards as I really wanted to show off some different colour combinations. I began by hot foiling three sets in champagne coloured foil. This is a safe colour for most combinations. Then, pulling out my Pinkfresh Studio Dye Inks I blended the foiled images using the coordinating Butterflies Stencils. Part of the wings overlap so, I wanted inks that would blend well and make another colour effectively. 1. Ink Colours: Slumber/Sapphire/Passion Fruit/Berrylicious 2. Ink Colours: Summer Shower/Storm/Sunkissed/Marigold 3. Ink Colours: Ocean Breeze/Mermaid Cove/Limoncello/Bay Leaf I die cut each large butterfly out then, die cut part of the butterfly from an A2 white cardstock panel. With foam tape, I attached each butterfly over the panel and card base, ensuring the left wing hung over the edge. This really helped it pop and give a suspended look. Like a butterfly in flight so to speak. To finish I added a reversed hot foil sentiment from the Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil set also by Pinkfresh Studio. I added some Metallic Silver Pearls to two cards but Aqua Glitter Drops on my centre card as I couldn't resist how well they matched! Hope you love these cards as much as I do?! Of course, I made a reel that you can check out over on Instagram @pinkfreshstudio as its really shows off how these cards came together. You can also check my Instagram out for lots more inspiration and reels @cherylespiecreates Until next time friends....

Good morning Pinkfresh Studio friends I am over on the Pinkfresh Studio blog today sharing these beauties. Last month, Pinkfresh Studio released their first ever interactive die the A2 Slider Die. It was also a phenomenal release with so many beautiful washi tapes. Today, on the PFS blog I am sharing an A2 slider card using the die along with the beautiful Artistic Dahlias Washi Tape. I am so impressed by the beauty, quality AND value for money the Pinkfresh Studio Washi tapes can be. They make creating a project such breeze. To confess, I don't make many interactive cards, but having a die that does most of the work me is wonderful and pretty it's nice to make something different. There are three pieces to the A2 Slider Die. One piece being the insert that slides in and out. This insert can also be cut twice to make a coordinating tag...cool eh? (eh! is a common phrase used in Canada which I have picked up since living here). I kept the sharp crisp edges of the die as is. But, I had this idea that you could use a corner chomper to make the corners rounded? Just a thought... There are some dotted lines when die cut that makes it easy to fold. Just a note here, I have filmed a reel showing the correct way to do this so make sure you check it out to help you if needed @pinkfreshstudio Using some white cardstock, I attached the beautiful Artistic Dahlia Washi Tape, which I die cut twice so I had extra for the tag. Both sentiments are from the Artistic Dahlia Stamp Set. I stamped these in Pinkfresh Studio's Detail Black Hybrid Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I love the crispness and the raised aspect to the sentiment when I do this. To finish, I added some Blush Glitter Drops which, by the way, are a perfect match to the Artistic Dahlia Washi Tape, and some gold ribbon. Make sure you check out my reel over on Instagram @pinkfreshstudio to see this set all come together. I hope I have inspired you to go interactive my friends, its fun and its different. Until next time...

Hi Pinkfresh Studio friends! Mother's Day will soon be here so I thought you would appreciate some card inspiration for the special 'mom' in your life. I have been planning this gatefold design for a wee while now as I kept thinking how great the Jeff Alpha Die Set would look spelling 'Mom' down the centre. To create the gatefold design, I started with a piece of white cardstock 11" x 4 1/4" Then, I scored 2 3/4" in at each end. I cut the Floral Lace Die out twice in white cardstock. Then, I cut one of them in half. Perfect dimensions for the front and the back. I glued these Floral Lace die cuts to each outside panel. This formed the base for my card. I knew I wanted to put something inside the card as it's quite a large empty space so, I die cut some of the beautiful Artistic Magnolia Washi Tape from the Pinkfresh Studio's March release. I glued a Magnolia bouquet inside, adding that cute bow from the brand new Wrap Around Elements released this month! I also cut out two of the trims in the Elements set for a centre band for the card. You will see all the elements are in champagne gold. I chose this because it has gold in the Artistic Magnolia Washi Tape. Of course, I then die cut MOM from the Jeff Alpha Die Set in the same champagne gold but then matted them on white cardstock. I half attached the letters to the left side of the front panel, if that makes sense? That way, they would overlap when closed. I finished my card with some added washi to each side panel. I did not add any bling, because to be honest, there is a lot of texture with this card therefore, I left it 'as is'. Well friends, I hope this has given you some inspiration for your Mother's Day cards. You will be able to find a reel over on on Instagram @pinkfreshstudio that demonstrates how my design came together. Until next time....

Hi crafty friends, Welcome back to the Pinkfresh Studio card blog. Today, I am sharing an interactive seasonal card design using the brand new Side Slider Die. Now and again, it's so fun to make an interactive card and this die makes it a breeze! I had the idea of somehow having floating/sliding snowflakes. I spied the newly released Folk Snowflake but it was a bit too big. Therefore, I decide to use the Large Snowflakes dies that were released in August. I wanted some subtle flecks on the snowflake die cuts. To achieve this, I hot foiled the Sparkle & Shine Hot Foil Plate in silver. Then, I die cut the snowflakes out of this. Very cool effect! I built up the Side Slider Die using pink and white cardstock. On the pink front panel I ink blended some Coral Reef and splattered with silver. This all adds interest to the backdrop. The snowflakes were popped up on foam dots including the one on the slider. Just in the centres to allow them to look floaty (if you know what I mean?) Using detailed black ink I stamped two different sentiments from the Holiday Sentiments-Large. One directly onto the inside slider, the second on spare white cardstock. I die cut this out a couple of times and place it on the front pink panel. The newly release Clear Drops really added that extra something, something. It's very rare that I mix two different coloured blings on my designs. But, it really worked here so I alternated between the Blush and Ice Clear Drops. I hope I have inspired you to get interactive this season friends. Remember, you can also check out the reel that shows how this card came together over on Instagram @pinkfreshstudio Until next time....
