Pinkfresh Studio “Joyful Blooms” Release Blog Hop
Exploring the Pinkfresh March Release: Cards that Blossom with Creativity
The Pinkfresh Studio March release has arrived, bringing a delightful array of products that inspire creativity and floral elegance. Among these new offerings, the very Pinkfresh-esque floral washi tapes stand out! These gorgeous washi tapes, alongside the coordinating stamps and diecuts, provide the perfect tools to create unique and vibrant greeting cards in minutes! I was thrilled to dive into this release and craft two distinct cards that truly embody the name of the release: Joyful Blooms.
Card 1: Grateful for you always
For my first card, I wanted to showcase the intricate beauty of the new floral washi tape Flowers For The Soul and the gorgeous new addition to the Essentials range: Elegant Circles. I began by diecutting out several sheets of the washi, separated the flowers and set these aside. Next up, I also diecut out the biggest of the Elegant Circles out of crisp white card stock.
These beautiful flowers became the focal point of my card design, and the Elegant Circle diecut brings the eye to the flowers.
After ink blending some Sage ink over about half of a card panel, I arranged the big bouquet of flowers so it was coming up through the circle, which is popped up with foam tape. The vibrant colours of the flowers really pop against that soft, pastel background.
As a finishing touch, I incorporated a charming sentiment from the Flowers For The Soul stamp set. I heat embossed the sentiment “Grateful for you always” in platinum onto white card stock, which I then diecut out and adhered across the bottom of the card, creating a harmonious balance with the florals. One final flourish was a few Champagne Glitter Drops to coordinate with the platinum heat embossing.
Card 2:
For the second card, I opted for a less subdued approach. I began by creating an interesting background by stamping the Dainty Plaid cling stamp in Sage ink on white card stock. Then I again selected the Flowers of the soul washi tape flowers to decorate my card with.
Here I used the ‘leftover’ panel from when I diecut the Elegant Circles diecut out of a panel of white card stock, to create a peek-a-boo look. This negative space panel was placed over the Dainty Plaid background, with Instant Dimension Foam Tape to add some height.
Next, I took the Flowers of the soul washi florals and decorated the front of the card generously. On this card I used another sentiment from the coordinating stamp set, this one says ‘Flowers say what words cannot’, and it’s also heat embossed in Platinum. The contrast of the patterned background, against the white front, and then all of these lovely flowers, makes the sentiment stand out beautifully.
To add some sparkle the card's overall aesthetic, I added some Glitter Drops in Leaf. These accents provide a touch of dimension and bling at the same time.
Quick Summary
The Pinkfresh March release is brimming with inspiration and versatility. Each product used in these two cards allowed for creative expression, while also providing a cohesive look that brings each design to life. Whether you prefer bold and vibrant layouts or simple elegance, there’s something in this release that can cater to your crafting style. Embrace the beauty of the new stamps, die-cuts, and washi tapes, and let your imagination blossom!
