Pinkfresh Studio March 2020 Essentials Slim Cuts Release Blog Hop

March 23, 2020

Hi there! Today I’m joining Pinkfresh Studio for their Essentials Slim Cuts Release Blog Hop.

Pinkfresh Studio-Slim Stitched Rectangles, Slim Edgers, Slim Diagonal Stripes, Adore Alpha Set, Classic Words die set

I made two long & slim cards using some of the new dies. My cards are 4″x 9″ long. My first card features the Slim Diagonal Stripes die. I die cut a panel of white cardstock & colored the inner diagonal stripes with Copics to create a colorful pattern inlayed into the die cut panel.

My next card uses the Slim Stitched Rectangles & Slim Edger dies. For both cards I used the Adore Alpha dies for the sentiment. I added the “love” die cut on this card from the Classic Words die set.

Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

GIVEAWAYS!
Pinkfresh Studio will be giving away the full release on the Pinkfresh blog, and IG feed.

Winners will be posted on Monday, March 30th on the GIVEAWAY PAGE. Please check that page & claim their prize within 2 weeks.

Easter Tulips

March 19, 2020

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this Easter themed project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Layered Tulips Stencil and the CZ He is Risen word die set.

Hoping everyone is staying safe and healthy during this crazy time. We have done our fair share of napping and taking walks to occupy the time. I will say we’ve had two beautiful sunny days with blue skies and birds chirping. A sunny day always helps me. That and a little chocolate doesn’t hurt either:)
