Pinkfresh Studio Challenge April 2023

\



                






Love this stamp set by Emily Midgett and had to figure out how to use it for
A2 size. I have the Tim Holtz Tonic stamping platform. It's really long and  
could accommodate just a section of the stamp.

Miss Your Smile Stamps
Sending: Phrase Builder die (hot foiled) in aluminum silver
Blanket Stitched Rectangle Die
Gold Pearls
Copic Markers

I liked displaying a small portion of the stamp set and used a Simon Stamp in similar fashion.



This card's background was embossed with the PinkFresh coverplate Floral and 
Diamond Tiles. Same Scallop Rectangle and Phrase Builder sets as above

Pinkfresh Studio April Challenge

 

Since I am slowly adding to my Pinkfresh collection, I used the colors of this month's challenge-primarily orange and olive. With all the emphasis on hot foiling, I used a foil paper on the wishes die cut. This card has already been sent to my daughter for her birthday!

           PinkFresh February 2023 Challenge: Stripes and Plaids



                                    Pinkfresh Studio Simplest Gestures

This is my first Pinkfresh purchase and challenge. (This is also my first 5x7 card,)  Love using these PFS Simplest Gestures Stencils and dies. It is amazing how great they look-even without a stamped image  I used the stamp set on the envelope only. 

I don't have plaid or stripe stamps in my collection so I used an OLD "plaid" embossing folder.
The sequins are Pretty Pink Posh iridescent so some of them look blue in the photo




              Pinkfresh Studio February 2023 Challenge: Stripes and Plaids




This is my first challenge with Pinkfresh Studio as well as my first purchase

And wow! Stencils have come a long way. These are great products and so easy to use.

I don't have stripes or checks in my collection of stamps so I used a "plaid" embossing folder.
I used PFS Garden Florals stencils and dies
The word die "hugs" is from PFS Sending dies.
Pink inks are PFS Ballet Slipper and Bubblegum

The embossing folder is OLD!


Blessings!
Quietgirl




                  Pinkfresh February 2023 Challenge / Focus: Stripes and Plaids



This is my first challenge with Pinkfresh Studio as well as my first purchase

And wow! Stencils have come a long way. These are great products and so easy to use.

I don't have stripes or checks in my collection of products so I blended some pink ink on white paper and cut some stripes. 
I used PFS Simplest Gestures stamp set, dies and stencils.
The word diecut "smiles" is from PFS Sending dies.

The circle coverplate (embossed) and leaf are from MFT.


Blessings!

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge (All Text)

More Power Poppy.
I love the mixed fonts on the image and hope Marcella does more of this!
Copic Markers. Nuvo drops, Pretty Pink Posh clear sequins, Note Card Café envelope (Aqua Blue Ocean) Glossy Accents on the word, CAN, Wonky Stitching Die by MFT

The Daily Marker: Coloring Challenge: Power Poppy



I purchased this Gladiolia Digital Stamp some time ago and used it once. I didn't  like the size of it. However, I looked at Jessie Bank's blog (The Instant Gardner's Release Team)  and discovered she enlarges and crops the images. I was completely satisfied with that option. I like having something ready to instantly color so I am thankful to revisit Power Poppy once again!

Online Card Classes day 6

Another masculine rainbow card. Why should the girls get all the fun cards?
I used Copics  (YG16, B34, V06) under the black star cut out.
Celebrate word is from PTI set
Mosaic confetti is leftover from the SSS Mosaic star.
Green paper from SSS


Online Card Classes Day5-Rainbow Stenciling

Purple is the low-visibility color of the rainbow. We saw a double one in July. Purple is there but not that sparkling. It adds substance and grounding.
I like the idea of "ending" the rainbow with purple. There are no special surface treatments here- just
basic stenciling! Those wonderful supplies used in class are yet to join my stash!

MFT Stencil- Crosshatch 
Avery Elle- Hello Die and stamp 
Silhouettes scallop oval die cut
Brush: from the dollar store makeup department.

OCC Rainbow Die Cutting

Here is a card with the leftover scraps from my main project.  (I may post it later.) This diminutive-sized card is inspired by Jennifer McGuire who often adapts the size of her card to the supplies she is using. This card will be just the right size for its tiny recipient!

Stamps: Pandemonium from Mama Elephant
A2 Envelope: Note Card Cafe

Online Card Class-Rainbow Stamping



I somehow didn't do my homework for class. My ink supply is not "Rainbow Worthy" nor do I have many solid stamps in my collection. I did manage to pull these together for a masculine card.

I used Julie Ebersole's Streaky rainbow as my inspiration.



Supplies: Distress Inks
MFT: sentiments

MFT: Double Stitch Circles
Alpha: Old Sizzix set

I used the circle dies to add texture as I wanted these to be masculine cards.

This is for my husband's birthday. Please don't show him!

Monday Simon Challenge

Wild Things

Monsters can be Wild Things
I learn something every day.
Today I learned that Ink doesn't
stick to Ink. Or at least that is
what happened...twice.
No MISTI to test that theory.
But the result is what I wanted-a subtle Happy Birthday on the side.

Simon Products:
Circles Stencil
Stitched Tag die
Stitched Squares die
Orange Peel Ink
Sending Love Stamps (lots of love)

Other products
Stamps:
Avery Elle Monsters & dies
PTI: Celebrate
