Pinkfresh Studio Magical Holiday Release Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY
Hi and welcome to a, to me, very exciting post!
Today I am blog hopping with the Pinkfresh Design Team and friends to celebrate the July release! It’s my first blog hop with the team since joining back up after a hiatus!
There is a fantastic lineup of amazing projects in the hop so make sure to stop by all the designers to see what magic they have created. If you leave comments on the stops along the hop you will also be in with a chance to win one of TEN $25 gift cards to the Pinkfresh Studio shop! If you leave a comment on the blog post on the Pinkfresh Studio blog, you will be entered into a draw where the winner will win THE ENTRIE SHEBANG of the release!!
Winners will be announced on the Pinkfresh Winner page on August 13th, so make sure to mark the date and check the page to see if you are the winner!
For my two cards I have used the lovely Magical Holiday Press Plate suite. It has a Press Plate, which is also hot foil compatible! There is a stamp set, a layering stencil set and also coordinating diecuts available.
I hot foiled a couple of panels with the Press Plate, including a sentiment from the set, using Aura Hot Foil on one and Matte Gold on a second, which turned out gorgeous! I adore the fact you get two for one techniques with the Press Plates, absolute genius.
To add color, I used the layering stencils and some of the newest ink colours. Sage and Eucalyptus for the greenery, and Berrylicious for the berries on one panel. Sage, Eucalyptus, Lush Forest and Mulberry Blush for the second.
I used the 1/2” blending brushes from Pinkfresh Studio too, they are brand new to me, but they are so easy to work with. The smaller brush heads are brilliant for the small spaces and to add details easily.
Both panels have been trimmed down a little bit and added to red card stock (the one with the Mulberry Blush inked berries) and the paler panel was adhered to Inca Gold mirror card stock from Tonic Studio.
The one with the red background panel also was decorated with some red gems for an extra red pop! These are from Pinkfresh Studio but are now discontinued but I’m sure many of us have them in our craft stash still.
I know this was short and sweet, but hopefully you have enjoyed it anyway and will be rearing to go to the next stop on the blog hop! Which is the one and only Heather Hoffman. The full lineup can be found via this inLinkz link and you can always start hopping from the Pinkfresh Studio blog post.
I have used some compensated affiliate links to the Pinkfresh Studio Shop in this post, at no extra cost to you whatsoever. If you click on these links and end up putting a little something-something in your shopping cart, and then press that ‘place order now’ button… I get a little commission directly from Pinkfresh as a thank you for sending you their way. This is one of the ways I make a little bit of money, and I appreciate the support and encouragement so much so THANK YOU if you shop using my links.
When this blog post goes live I will be frantically packing my things to fly home to Spain this evening. I’ve spent the last three weeks in the US, working the expo scene and teaching classes with Craft Meraki. I’m hoping I will be back at some point next year, so if you missed me this time, don’t worry, I will return.
Thank you for stopping by today, with love and light, sparkles and creativity,
Erica
