Hi crafty friends! Just popping in to share a couple cards I have made with the latest collaboration stamp set from The Stamping Village called We Stand With You! There is an Instagram hop going on as well. There will be 4 prizes valued at $150, so definitely worth it to check it out. You might also find some new crafters to follow as you hop along!

We Stand With You was designed by 12 members of The Stamping Village, including sentiments & images about inclusion, love, kindness and doing the right thing. There is truly something for everyone in this stamp set, and we think you will reach for it time and time again! 100% of the net profits of this stamp set will be donated to the NAACP.

I chose a rainbow color theme for my first card, because well...rainbows. Lol! The background paper is from our Let's Stay Home 6x6 paper pad, and I ink blended the rainbow stripes with our inks colors that matched best. I also embellished it with one of the Fabric Bows from the Let's Stay Home collection as well.

INK COLORS:

 Here are a couple of close up shots of my first card. This sentiment is the Pinkfresh Studio contribution to the collaboration stamp set, and the little brush swash is part of it too!

For my second card, I ink blended the rainbow strips in all different skin tones, because I do believe that we are called to love all people. No matter what. This sentiment is Concord & 9th's contribution to the set, along with the heart.

INK COLORS:

Here are some details shots of my second card.

Our high quality premium dye inks made ink blending these cards super easy! If you have any questions about this card, leave them in the comments and I will be sure to reply.

Happy Friday, crafty friends! Pinkfresh Studio and Altenew have teamed up to bring you this very special collaboration collection called Celebrate, in honor of both companies celebrating our 6th year in business! Collaboratively and collectively designed, this collection was created to celebrate both milestones & everyday moments, and was designed with all papercrafters in mind. Celebrate includes a fresh & citrusy color palette perfect for summer time, and is full of gorgeous watercolor florals & elements.

We are so honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with our friends at Altenew on this beautiful collection, and we just know you will see both our design aesthetics throughout! The Celebrate collection includes 16 paper designs in both 12x12 and 6x6 size, along with a coordinating diecut ephemera pack. There are also (2) 4x6 stamp sets with coordinating dies. I am so excited to share all of my card samples with you, but first, here is at all the new products.


We are offering free US or discounted international shipping on orders $50+. Just use the correct code below! Codes are valid until 11:59pm CST on July 2nd.

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?

This is my first card set using both stamp sets, plus a couple of the gorgeous papers from the Celebrate collection. Of course, I've also used a lot of our Essentials collection to help bring the designs together and give them those beautiful finishing touches.

"Celebrate every little thing" card supplies:

• Celebrate Today stamp set
• Celebrate Today die
• Celebrate 6x6 paper pad
• Pinkfresh Studio liquid watercolors
• Detail Black hybrid ink
• Essentials: Stitched Rectangles
• Essentials: Basic Label Frames
• Essentials: Crystals Mix

For this card I heat embossed the floral image in gold, then painted with Pinkfresh Studio liquid watercolors in Bubblegum, Clementine, Sunshine & Key Lime. I mixed some of those colors to create my own custom colors as well! I just loosely colored the image in.

I diecut the florals, then added white splatters to it. I chose a patterned paper background, and stamped & heat embossed the sentiment. After assembling the card, I accented with our crystals mix.

"Thankful for You" card supplies:

• Celebrate Us stamp set
• Celebrate Us die set
• Celebrate 12x12 paper pack
• Pinkfresh Studio premium dye inks
• Detail Black hybrid ink
• Essentials: Slim Stitched Scallop Circle
• Essentials: Slim Stitched Rectangles
• Essentials: Crystals Mix

I went slimline with this card, and added snippets of the beautiful patterned paper peeking through the circles. I stamped the layered floral in 3 shades of our premium dye inks and diecut them. I splattered them with white paint as well.

I layered them to the card front, and added the sentiment to the lower right corner. I finished by accenting each circle with the coordinating color of crystals.

I have another set of cards to share with you today, featuring this gorgeous collection of products!

• Celebrate 6x6 paper pad
• Pinkfresh Studio liquid watercolors
• Detail Black hybrid ink

On this card I attempted no line coloring for the first time with our liquid watercolors. I am pleased with how it turned out, even though it is not perfect. It's harder this way than using water based markers, but you mostly just have to be patient. I added both white & gold splatters to this floral piece after diecutting it.

I layered the card up with a patterned paper background and glittered frame. The sentiment is a mix of diecutting & stamping, and I accented with crystals to finish.
