Christmas is here, crafty friends! It's release day at Pinkfresh Studio, and we are so excited to bring our our brand new Holiday 2020 stamp & die release from Pinkfresh Studio!
This release is AMAZING, and there really is something for everyone! We've got cute Christmas critters, fantastic sentiments, standalone dies, cling background stamps & so much more. Our releases just seem to get better every time, and I really hope that you love all the new products too! Here is a look at the complete release:
From our Home to Yours Slimline card
We've got a fantastic blog hop lineup and prizes at every stop! I'll get to all of that info at the end of my post, but how about we get to my cards first? For my first card I was inspired to make a slimline scene with Our Home to Yours stamp set and coordinating dies. My layers were all cut first with the largest Slim Stitched Rectangle, then I diecut the mountain using the Falling for You die set. The hills and the snowcaps were diecut with the Skiing By die set. I ink blended the sky using our stargazer & sapphire inks, and splatted with titanium white ink.
Next I stamped & diecut all the houses and the top sentiment in a rainbow of our premium dye inks. I stamped the trees in evergreen, fussy cut & covered them in glitter. I stamped the secondary sentiment to the lower left corner of the top hill layer in detail black ink, then proceeded to layer the card to the front of a slimline card base. I accented with our Crystals Mix to finish.
Merry and Bright Rainbow Stripe card set
This next card set features the Merry and Bright Frame stamp set and coordinating dies. This is the only 6x8 stamp set in the release, and I am just obsessed with the sentiments! I made the cards feel a little more modern by giving them a rainbow stripe design on the oval frame & negative piece. I used our Color Block Stripes die to get those perfectly straight paper strips in all the colors of the rainbow. The Merry & Bright card came to life with additional layers of the largest Stitched Rectangles & Ornate Oval dies.
The Joy to the World card was layered using the Ornate Banner die set, then finished off with a gold foil bow that I cut using the Partial Cut Bouquet with a Bow die set. The very final step to both cards was accenting with our Crystals Mix.
Tree Trimming Friends window scene card
We don't do critters very often, but when we do they are typically at Christmas, and SUPER adorable! This little window scene features the cutie bears from the Tree Trimming Friends stamp set and coordinating dies. I stamped them in detail black, colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers & diecut them. I stamp layered the tree using emerald city & evergreen inks, then diecut it as well. I cut the window panel by combining the largest Stitched Rectangle & the 4 square window die from our Shaker Tag die set. I stamped the sentiment to that panel in detail black, and ink blended background panel with Ocean Breeze and Aquamarine. I mounted the layers to the front of a light grey card base, popping the window panel up with foam tape. I accented with our Crystals Mix to finish.
Rainbow Gradient Christmas Tree Slimline card
I had to create a rainbow slimline card featuring that fantastic stamp layered tree from the Tree Trimming Friends stamp set! I stamped the tree 7 times in a rainbow gradient, then diecut each one. I diecut the sentiment from our Phrase Builder: Happy Holidays die set - the script words were diecut 3 times from champagne glitter paper and white cardstock. The shadows were diecut from vellum, then I stacked and glued them all together. I diecut a frame for the card using the Slim Diagonal Stitched die set, and then assembled the card as shown to a 4x9 teal colored card base. I finished by accenting the with clear iridescent sequins.
Sleigh Bells Ring mountain scene card
Alright friends, this is my final card for today! Thank you for making it this far! I focused on the other cutie critters from the Sleigh Bells Ring stamp set and coordinating dies. For this set, we suggest that you stamp the sleigh first and then cut it out with the coordinating die. Use the negative as a jig in your MISTI, and then finish stamping the critters. For my card I stamped the sleigh in ocean breeze and the critters in detail black, then colored them in with Zig brush markers. I ink blended the background by making a stencil from our Sunburst die and using our inks in rainbow colors & order for the rays. A little whoops happened when I was removing the masking tape after blending the purple ray, and I wasn't about to start over...so I covered it in glitter. Now you would never know there was a mistake!
I cut the mountains with our Falling for You die set, then stamped them in metropolis ink. I also stamped the sentiment to the right side in detail black. I cut a hill using the Skiing By die set, and covered it in glitter. I also added so liquid glue to the snowcaps of the mountain and added some glitter to those as well! Whoever gets this card is probably going to hate me. Lol! With all the steps complete, I mounted them as shown to a red A2 cardbase, then accented with our Crystals Mix to finish.
