Pink Fresh Studio Kindness In Bloom Blog Hop

 

Hello everyone! I'm happy to be joining Pink Fresh Studio today for a blog hop to showcase their newest release, Kindness In Bloom. 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 $25 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 16th, 2024. You must check that page and claim your prize within 2 weeks of that date. 

You should have just arrived from Lea Lawson's blog.

Your next stop on the hop is Mindy Eggen's blog. 

Now on to the cards I've made....  

To create this card I have used the following:

• Always Smiling Press Plates
• Always Smiling Stamp Set
• Always Smiling Stencil Set
• Always Smiling Coordinating Dies
• Dotted Fancy Frames Dies

I foiled all the images and sentiments using the Press Plates. They foiled beautifully with a satin metallic gold foil onto Hammermill 100 lb Premium Color Copy Cover.  

I used the Dotted Fancy Frames to create a big window opening and also for the small mat to which I have adhered the sentiment. There are three size options with this frame die set. For each size, there's one die that cuts the mat layer and one that cuts a delicate dotted frame. You can use them together or separately. 

Below is shot of the inside of this card. I used the Always Smiling stamps to add a little decoration along with the thanks sentiment. 

For this next card I used the the Print Shop Modern Botanicals Press Plate and Stencils to create a little flower garden nestled inside a Dotted Fancy Frame. 

Again I used the Press Plates to foil the floral images and then used the stencil set to color them. The coordinating die cuts out each individual floral image. You could use them how I have here or make a wreath with them, or scatter them to fill the entire card. The possibilities are endless with these!
