Pinkfresh Studio-Floral Daydream

April 21, 2026

Hi there! Today I’m sharing another card using some of the new April release with Pinkfresh Studio.

To begin I used the Floral Daydream press plate with the Betterpress system & Platinum ink. Then I blended color using the Floral Daydream stencil. I die cut the blended blooms using the Floral Daydream dies. I created a panel out of ivory cardstock and used a circle die to create a window and an older Blanket Stitched Rectangle die for the border. For the sentiment I used the Celebrate in Blooms stamp set.

You can check out the Instagram hop over on the Pinkfresh Studio Instagram feed.

April My Monthly Hero kit: Plant Lady Society

April 2, 2026

Hi there! Today I’m joining an Instagram hop to help promote the fun, new April My Monthly Hero Kit called Plant Lady Society. If you love blooms, plants and chubby kitty cats, then this is right up your alley!

My Monthly Hero April Kit-Fresh Flowers Die Set, Hello Beautiful Stamp & Cut

My first card is the card for the Instagram hop featuring the Fresh Flowers Die Set along with the Hello Beautiful Stamp & Cut for the sentiment. I used a mixture of the cardstocks that come in the kit along with some Concord & 9th colors. I used one of the skinny long stem dies to create the stripes on the vase. I also added some clear enamel dots for embellishment.

This next card features the Greenhouse die set along with the You Grow Girl Stamp & Cut for the sentiment.

Here is a video showing how I created this card.

The Greetery Spring Jardin Collection Introduction Day 2

March 13, 2026

Hi there! Today I’m back again with The Greetery to introduce more of the Spring Jardin Collection.
The new collection will be available on Monday, March 16 at 10am EDT.

My first card is a fun, egg shaped card. I used the new Golden Egg dies to create the shape card as well as add the scallop and smaller egg layers. I also added a white glitter cardstock detail around the larger egg using the Golden Egg Filigree Borders dies. For the bloom I used the new Bigger Botanical: Hawthorn die set with a sentiment from Tangled Tulips.

The Greetery-Golden Egg, Bigger Botanicals

My next card is another egg shaped card but this time I used the adorable Silly Goose suite products. How cute is this goose with rainboots? I embossed the sentiment from Silly Goose in white onto vellum.

This last card features the Golden Egg stencil set for the inked floral border. I used the Chocolate Bunny dies for the cute focal with another sentiment from Tangled Tulips. I added the bow from the Regency Bow No. 2 die set.
