Chevron Hugs

Hello and welcome back friends! I’m so glad you stopped by! For today’s card I’m using the PinkFresh Studio Nested Chevron stamp and coordinating die to create a rainbow-ish look. I’ve had this set for a little bit, and finally decided to take it for a spin! The pop-out feature of this stamp, any many of their others, offers so many possibilities! To be honest, I wasn’t quite sure if I was going to like it, but dang, it’s pretty awesome! So glad that I went ahead a bought a few of the other sets when I bought this one!

For my rainbow stamping, I chose PinkFresh Studio dye inks in Sparkling Rose, Apricot, Lemon Whip, Fresh Pear, Sky Blue, Ocean Breeze and Soft Lilac. I trimmed a piece of Neenah Classic Crest 80lb cardstock large enough to fit into my Misti and positioned my stamp in the middle of that. You can stamp different sections with different inks at the same time, but since I’m a newbie to these pop-out stamps, I stamped each section individually .. ya know, because I wasn’t really in the mood for messing something up!

This stamp is cool, because it has a frame which allows you to position the pieces correctly and straight .. which I need! So once all of my stamping was done, I die cut my Nested Chevron with the coordinating die. I cut another piece of Neenah 80lb to adhere my Chevron pieces to. I adhered the thin striped pieces to my panel using Craft Tacky Glue, and I adhered the solid stripes to the panel with 3M Foam Tape .. because as we all like to say, dimension is life!

Moving along .. I stamped the new Choose Hope floral image using VersaMark ink on vellum twice, and embossed both of those using Simon Says Stamp Detail White Embossing Powder. Once those were cut with the coordinating die, I then glued those two pieces together and positioned them over my chevron to decide if I was happy with the look.

I decided that the white just wasn’t doing it for me, so I stamped the floral again, embossed it using Ranger Ink Princess Gold Embossing Powder and die cut it. That was so much better! Thank goodness! So I went ahead and adhered the gold floral to the white floral piece.

Back to the die cutting machine I go! I decided to use the Hugs sentiment from the PinkFresh Studio Sending Phrase Builder set, so I cut the shadow three times from Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock and the detail sentiment once from Neenah 110lb and once from gold cardstock. While there, I went ahead and cut a few leaves from the new Curvy Leaves set as well. I adhered all of the sentiments together and determined the placement on top of the chevron pattern. Before gluing down the vellum piece, I tucked in some of the Curvy Leaves and adhered those. I then adhered the vellum piece to the chevron panel and the hugs sentiment on top of that. My finished panel was then adhered to my card base, which is Neenah 110lb. Of course you have to have embellishments, so I added a few PinkFresh Studio Crystals Mix.

So there’s my pretty little chevron rainbow-ish card! I hope you like it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty today!

Thanks so much for stopping by and don’t forget to stay awesome!

Hello Lovely Floral

PinkFresh Studio Celebrate

Hey there crafty friends! I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy! I have so much beautiful patterned paper in my stash and sometimes I like incorporating it in to my projects, and today’s card does just that! I recently bought a bunch of patterned paper from PinkFresh Studio, and let me just tell you, they are beautiful!

My card panel on this project is a sheet of patterned paper from the PinkFresh Studio Celebrate 6×6 paper pad. I trimmed it down using the PinkFresh Studio Diagonal Stitched Rectangles set, and added a few white splatters with watered down acrylic paint. The pink splatters were already part of the design on the patterned paper. I thought the Fancy Oval Frame, also from PinkFresh Studio, would look super awesome over the floral design of the paper.

I trimmed the oval frame using Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock. While I was at the die cutting machine, I went ahead and did the rest of my cutting. I cut the Hello Lovely sentiment, which is from the PinkFresh Studio set Hello Phrase Builder, once from gold cardstock from my stash and once from Neenah 110lb cardstock. For the shadow portion of the sentiment, I cut that three times from the 110lb cardstock.

I also cut some leaves from the new Curvy Leaves set from the 110lb. Now for some assembly! I placed 3M Foam Tape on the back of the Fancy Oval Frame and positioned it over the central floral image to determine where I wanted to place my Curvy Leaves. Once I decided that placement, I adhered the leaves to my card panel using Craft Tacky Glue. I then adhered my oval frame over those leaves.

I adhered all of my sentiment shadow pieces together using that same Craft Tacky Glue, as well as adhering the rest of the sentiment pieces together. So much adhering!! Anyhoo, I “glued,” ha ha, see I switched it up there, the Hello sentiment to the card panel and glued the Lovely part of the sentiment to the oval frame. As if you couldn’t tell, I REALLY like dimension! Next, I added my card panel to an additional panel of yellow cardstock from my stash, before adhering that to my card base, which is Neenah Classic Crest 110lbo. And no card is complete without some bling! So, of course, I had to add some jewels from the PinkFresh Studio Jewel Mix to finish it up!

That’s my card for today! All of these PinkFresh Studio elements are new to me, and I can honestly say I’m loving them!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my card today! I hope it inspires you to get in your crafty space and start creating, whatever that may be!

Stay awesome!

Alex Syberia Design Winter Garden

Hello Lovelies! Have you had a chance to check out Alex Syberia’s February release? I always fall in love with her floral images .. without fail! This Winter Garden A2 card panel was no different! You can check out her Etsy shop here.

So the original image is the size of an A2 panel, but I decided to resize it so that I was only going to get a partial image .. the one you see above. Now I’m no tech savvy anything! I use a Mac and insert the image into a Pages document and resize from there. No fancy app or software being used at my house!

Once I was done resizing my image and had it the way that I wanted, I printed it out on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb cardstock. I’ll link to my printer down below. A lot of people have been curious about printers, because they want to be able to print on heavyweight 140lb watercolor paper. I was the same!! And I found this one and love it!

So back to my card! I printed and started coloring with Copic Markers. The colors I used were: RV00, RV10, RV11, YG03, YG13, YG17, Y08, Y15, C0, and C2. I also used a Micron pen .03 to add the black detail to the middle of the pink and white flowers.

Once all of my color was added with markers, I added some detail and shading using Prismacolor Colored Pencils. Then to add gray shading around the flowers and leaves, which I love to do, I used a graphite pencil with a tortillon blender stump.

I trimmed my card panel down to 3.75” x 5” and I added an Altenew Fine Frames in white. Because I’m me, I decided it needed some additional detail, so I found this cute polka dot paper from the Miss Modern 6×6 pad from The Stamp Market and trimmed it down using the Diagonal Stitched Rectangles die from PinkFresh Studio. Once that was done, I mounted my card panel to the printed paper using 3M Foam Tape, because dimension is life!

Don’t you just love this sentiment?! This sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp and die set from The Stamp Market. I thought it fit perfectly in the space on my card panel! To finish, I adhered my panel to my card base, which is Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock, and added some pink jewels from the PinkFresh Studio Jewels Mix.

I hope you enjoyed this project and that it will inspire you to get creating! Don’t forget to check out Alex’s new release over in her Etsy shop, AlexSyberiaDesign!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stay awesome!
