Pink Fresh Studio Flourish & Glow Blog Hop

Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to be joining PinkFresh Studio today for a blog hop to showcase their newest release, Flourish & Glow. I have made two cards to share but first I wanted to let you know about some exciting giveaways.

Be sure to check out the Pink Fresh Studio blog & YouTube channel where they are giving away the full release to one lucky winner.

Also they are giving away a total of ten $50 gift cards! Winners will be selected from comments left all along the hop. Pink Fresh will post the winners on their giveaway page on October 29th, 2025. You must check that page and claim your prize within 2 weeks of that date. 

You should have just arrived from Dana's blog. 

Your next stop on the hop is Carissa's blog. 

Now on to the cards I've made with the Peony Glow product suite which includes a stamp set, stencils, coordinating dies, and washi tape. 

The Peony Glow stamp set includes many pretty floral images. It was so fun to create all the little floral clusters and play around with different arrangement options. I stamped the images with Tsukineko Golden Glitz Delicata Ink. I then used the coordinating stencils to color them. For this first card, I went with a lilac and gold color palette. I used the following Pink Fresh Studio inks: Soft Lilac, Lavender, Regal Kiss, Olive, & Citron. Other Pink Fresh Studio Products used to create this card: Floral Lattice Cover Plate Die, Nested Elongated Ovals Blanket Stitched Dies

For my second card, I have used all the same products as the first. It has a similar arrangement and layering style but in shades of pink. I used the following Pink Fresh Studio inks for coloring the floral images: Cherry Blossom, Begonia, Mulberry Blush, Key Lime, & Fresh Pear. 

Here's the breakdown of my process for creating all the florals using the Peony Glow stamp set: Stamp images with the metallic gold ink using a Misti. Leave the stamps in the Misti. Color images with stencils. Re-stamp images with gold ink to get that crisp outline. Die cut images. Optional - splatter with metallic gold watercolor paint. The splatter was done on the lilac florals in the first card. 

That's all from me today. Just FYI, there will be an Instagram Hop for the Pure Bliss Release tomorrow (Oct 23rd) at 9am CST with more chances to win a $50 gift card. See you then!

Hello Bluebird Grateful Me Fall Card

I'm back with a short post today. I have one more card to share created with the Cider & Cocoa Release from Hello Bluebird. This card ended up being a bit collage style with all the cute things filling up my entire A2 card front. I chose to create with a soft fall color palette with a hint of gold. 

I colored the leaves and mushroom from the Forest Floor die set using the ink smooshing method. I used some of my favorite Distress Oxide inks... Wild Honey, Carved Pumpkin, and Worn Lipstick. The soft green background color is Catherine Pooler Wintergreen ink. Everything got a nice splattering is gold watercolor paint. 

The cute little owl image is from the In the Pumpkin Patch Stamp Set. He is Copic colored with the following: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, R20; (jacket)YR00, YR01, YR12; (mug)G00, G03; (branch)W1, W3, W4.

I used the Ric Rac Card die set to cut out the words "kind you, grateful me". This is a fun catch phrase I hadn't heard on until recently. It's certainly a unique way to say thank you! The stamped sentiment I added is from Warm & Cozy. 

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Bluebird Hello Fall Card

I'm serving up sweet and simple for today's card share featuring more Hello Bluebird Cider & Cocoa cuteness. I wanted to showcase the Doodle Frame die. This delicate ribbon like die cut helps frame up and draw attention to any simple little scene. 

There's so many sweet images in this release that will perfectly fit into the Doodle Frame. I chose the raccoon image and a sentiment from the Cocoa Stand stamp set. For the background I lightly blended on some pale peachy pink ink. I then splattered generally with metallic gold watercolor (Kuretake - Gansai Tambi - Watercolor - Starry Colors).  

The leaves I die cut using the Forest Floor dies and colored using the ink smooshing technique with Wild Honey + Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide inks. 

Here are the Copics used for coloring:

• raccoon - W0, W1, W3, W6
• orange jacket - YR21, YR12, YR18
• green scarf - YG61, YG63
• peach mug - YR00, YR01
• rosy cheeks - R00, R20
• tree stump - W1, E25, E41, E43

That's a wrap for this card. Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello Bluebird In the Pumpkin Patch Card

I'm back with another card featuring the sweet images from Hello Bluebird's Cider & Cocoa release. For today's card, I used one of the new stamp sets - In the Pumpkin Patch. This 6x8 set is packed fun critter images and cheerful fall sentiments. 

This card is A2 size and I've created my fall scene overtop an inked blended background - Catherine Pooler inks used are: Cummerbund for the blue and Eucalyptus for the green. 

I used the rectangle Ric Rac Frame die to create the decorative frame. I used the Doodle Frame die set for the "hello fall". All the Copic colored images and sentiment are from In the Pumpkin Patch.   

Here's a breakdown of all the Copics used to color the images:

• crow - N2, N4, N6, W3, W4
• raccoon - W0, W1, W3, W6
• duck - YR30, Y32, W1, W3, YR12, YR18
• pink cheeks - R00, R20
• pink scarf & boots - RV34, RV66
• light pink jacket & mug - RV52, RV63, RV55
• bule stripe scarf - BG72, BG78
• pumpkins - YR21, YR12, YR18
• sign - E41, E43, E44, YG99

That's all for today. I'm hoping to use every stamp set included in the Cider & Cocoa release so there will be more card shares coming soon. Thanks for stopping by today! 

Hello Bluebird Cider & Cocoa Release

Happy news... there's a new Hello Bluebird release out this month - Cider & Cocoa - and it's now shipping! The release is fall themed and includes 5 new stamp sets plus 4 stand alone die sets. Today I'm sharing a card which features an absolutely adorable image from the Book Buddies stamp set. 

I given this card a fall vibe with the color palette I chose and adding some extra mushrooms and leaves into the scene. 

The die cut mushrooms and leaves are from one of the new stand alone die sets called Forest Floor. The bunny, duck, books, mug, tiny leaves, and sentiment all come from the Book Buddies stamp set. There's many super cute critters reading in this set. It was hard to choose which ones to use! I'll list Copics used for coloring at the bottom of this post. 

The Ric Rac Frame set includes the die I have used to create the kraft ric rac edging around the oval. The pretty peach plaid is pattern paper from the Scrapbook.com Sweet Boo 6x8 paper pad. 

Here are the Copics I used:

• bunny - E41, E42, E43, (scarf & jacket)R00, R20, R21, BG13, BG18
• duck - YR30, Y32, Y35, YR12, YR18, (scarf)YG61, YG93, YG95
• mushroom - R01, R12, R22, W1, YG91
• books - R00, R12, BG13, BG18, W1, W3
• tiny leaves - YR24, YR27, YG93, YG95

*note - on the book the bunny is holding, I used a fine tip black marker to scribble the lines since the stamp image has blank pages. 

I will be sharing more cards soon made with this fabulous release so stay tuned! Have a great day!
