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! Today I wanted to pop in and share that we are doing a big video hop with all the members of The Stamping Village in celebration of the release of our latest collaborative stamp set called "Thinking of You". There is lots of inspiration to be seen using this special set and a chance to win a $50 gift card to each company by just leaving a comment on their video! You can watch our video from Pinkfresh Studio below, but be sure to click over to it on YouTube to leave your comment!

In the video I create a card that features our contribution to the Thinking of You stamp set, along with some other products of ours that compliment it perfectly!

I stamped the background using our new Chevron Background cling stamp, which includes the fantastic pop-out elements for added stamping options & versatility! I've used our entire Fairy Dust ink collection on this card, including Raspberry Bliss, Bubblegum, Sparkling Rose and Ballet Slipper. I also used Fresh Pear and Grassy Knoll from the Over the Hills ink collection for the leaves. Finally, I stamped the sentiment in our Detail Black hybrid ink, which gives a really crisp stamp impression, even for dainty sentiments like this one!

I've used some of our Essentials dies to create all the layers on this card. This includes the Diagonal Stitched Rectangles, Ornate Oval, Fancy Label Frames and Basic Label Frames. I finished the card off by accenting with our Essentials: Jewels Mix in gold, pink & white.

That is all I have for you today! If you have any questions about my card, feel free to leave them in the comments and I will be sure to reply.

I've also started updating my CRAFTY SALE page more lately, so feel free to see what great deals there are out in the papercrafting world right now. It's a great time to support these small businesses if you are able!

Happy Friday, crafty friends! I hope that you've had a good week and are ready for the weekend! Today I wanted to pop in and share a few things. The latest collaborative stamp set from The Stamping Village is now available! It is called Thinking of You, inspired by essential workers on the frontline of the COVID-19 crisis. This stamp set is fantastic for creating cards for all of these amazing people, but you will love using it for your family & friends too!

All of our collaborations are benefit stamp sets, and $5.00 from every sale of Thinking of You goes to Save the Children Organization. Providing meal relief to families with food insecurity is just one service they provide for children across the United States and worldwide. We cannot thank you enough for buying this stamp set to help their cause! I've created this card for today's special release!

"We Will Get Through This Together" card features:

• TSV Thinking of You stamp set
• PFS Nested Diamond background stamp
• PFS Essentials: Stitched Rectangles
• PFS Essentials: Ornate Oval
• PFS Essentials: Fancy Label Frames
• PFS Essentials: Jewels Mix
• PFS premium dye inks (individual colors linked at the end of the post)

This beautiful sentiment, and small layering floral & leaf are our contributions to the set from Pinkfresh Studio. It pairs so beautifully with our other products!

I started with the background by stamping & heat embossing the Nested Diamond background to white cardstock, then diecut the panel with the largest Stitched Rectangle. Next I stamped the florals & sentiment to white cardstock, then diecut with a Fancy Label Frame. I also diecut the next largest label from pink cardstock. Finally I diecut the Ornate Oval frame 3 times: once from gold and twice from white cardstock, then stacked & adhered them together.

At this point it was time to start putting the card together! I mounted the diamond background to a blue A2 card base with a full panel of foam adhesive. I adhered the Ornate Oval frame to the top, then mounted the labels to the front with foam tape. To finish, I accented the card with our Essentials: Jewels Mix in gold, blue & light pink.


If you have any questions about my card, feel free to leave them in the comments and I will be sure to reply. I really hope you love this wonderful Thinking of You stamp set from The Stamping Village, and the Pinkfresh Studio contribution to it!

Happy Thursday, crafty friends! I wanted to pop in real quickly and share this new collaborative stamp set from the members of The Stamping Village called Holiday Seals! It's the second installment in our envelope seals concept, this time with a Christmas & Holiday theme. I think it is super fun to see all the images, representing the style & design of each company, and it's even MORE fun to have it in one set.

I've done a video of this card process for the Pinkfresh Studio YouTube channel, and you can watch it below, or HERE on the Pinkfresh Channel if you'd prefer.
I'm not going to go into detail on how to create this card, as it is all shown in the video above. I hope you'll watch it when you have a moment! I've combined this new Holiday Seals stamp set with some of my favorite Pinkfresh Studio dies, and just a teeny bit of liquid watercolor. :)

And of course, I've accented it with my favorite iridescent jewels from our Essentials collection.

Before you move on with your day, I wanted to invite you to follow me on social media. I would love to be crafty friends online! I've been adding a lot more to my IG Stories lately, and have plans to keep that up. I hope you will join me!
