Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Pinkfresh Studio YouTube channel featuring the With Love stamp, stencil & die set.

Box of Cards

May 1, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a little reel over on Instagram of a cute little box of cards I like to put together for friends.

I always refer to this handy tutorial on Jennifer McGuire’s blog for how to put the box together(she’s a genius). I use whatever 12 x 12″ pattern paper I have on hand. This time I used some pretty paper by Pinkfresh Studio. I love to personalize the back of my cards with a stamp that I got from Bossy Joscie. I love to include some envelopes. This time I had some cute ones by Honey Bee Stamps. All of the cards in this box were using Concord & 9th products, but usually I just throw in whatever cards I have on hand. This is a great way to use up those cards that pile up and a cute, little gift for birthdays, hostess gifts or teacher, etc.

Hi there! Today I’m joining Pinkfresh Studio for their April Release Blog Hop. You can check out the incredible, new release HERE!

Pinkfresh Studio-Rosettes, Basic Banners: Celebrate, Wrap Around Elements

I had so much fun creating this card. To begin I used the Rosetted Layering Stencil Set with several Pinkfresh Studio inks. I used the coordinating Rosettes Dies to cut them out. This is where the gorgeous, new Dual-Tip Embellishment Tool comes in handy! For the background I used the Wrap Around Elements Die Set with white tissue paper for a fringe-tastic backdrop and for the sentiment I used the new Basic Banners: Celebrate Stamp & Die Set.

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a few more projects from the April release with Concord & 9th featuring the Mod Turnabout Stamp Set & Just Say More Die Set.

Concord & 9th-Mod Turnabout, Just Say More

My first card features the Mod Turnabout Stamp Set. I stamped it using the Jig and all four turns with Honeycomb ink. For the sentiment I used the “Big Hugs” word die from the Just Say More Die Set with Aqua Sky cardstock. I added some enamel dots for little pops of color.

My next card uses the jumbo heart die from the Just Say More Die Set. I die cut the “hi” into the Carnation heart and stripped it up behind the opening using Dragonfruit, Poppy, Sorbet, Grapefruit, Clementine, Buttercup, Lemongrass & Blueberry cardstock strips.

Concord & 9th-Just Say More Dies

This next card is a super simple “Take Care” card using the word die & hearts from Just Say More and the background was stamped using the Pebble ink on Pebble cardstock with the Triple-Step Posy Print stamp set.

My last card uses the Mod Turnabout on the background. I stamped on Grapefruit cardstock using Sorbet, Grapefruit & White pigment ink. I only stamped three rotations leaving a bit of empty space for the design. The jumbo heart is from the Just Say More dies with Juniper, Tidepool & Aqua Sky cardstock. The sentiment is from the Triple-Step Posy Print stamp set.
