Happy Labor Day, crafty friends! I hope you are having a restful day so far. I wanted to create a quick post to share this card set that I made earlier this summer. It has quite a story to go along with it, so here we go. Spellbinders asked me to create a video with this project kit in May. Then there were some production delays, so we put creating with it on hold. Then we got the go ahead again, and I created/filmed my projects. We ended up having a couple family things come up, and headed to Montana a week early. I photographed the cards before we left, and I had my laptop with me in order to upload the video footage and get it edited. Well, when I did that....a quarter of the videos were corrupt. Nothing I could do about it, because I didn't bring these products along with me to Montana. Got home & re-recorded the content that was corrupt. I edited and did the video voice over....by then, this kit was sold out. Sigh.
My friends at Spellbinders were so understanding, and let me know that they were actually planning on re-stocking this kit, and that they would share the video when the Happy Place project kit was officially back in stock. And friends...today is that day! Woot woot! Here is my video that is on the Spellbinders YouTube channel.

SUPPLY LIST
You can see how these cards come together on the video, but here is a little overview of the different products used. For this first card I stamped & heat embossed the Kaleidoscope Art stamp set to water friendly paper in gold. I gave it a good water wash, then dropped Turbo Teal & Watermelon Fusion liquid color to it. I lightly spritzed with a spray bottle, then used a brush to move the colors around. I added shimmer to it with Sparkle Silk. I stamped the sentiment from Share Your Smile in Black Licorice, then trimmed into a banner. I adhered it over a knot of gold thread with foam tape. Then accented with Rainbow Drops & Splash Zone sequins to finish.
For this card I ink blended the Sunny Day stencil to white cardstock using the Turbo Teal and Watermelon Fusion inks. I stamped & gold heat embossed the attractions from the Enjoy the Ride stamp set, then fussy cut. I stamped the sentiment to white cardstock in matching inks, then diecut with the ticket shaped die from the Booklet Binding die set. I layered everything to a teal cardbase, then added Sparkle Cuts to the attractions. I finished by accenting with Rainbow Drops & Splash Zone sequins.
The final card is a shaker, using the Pool with a View die set. I started by creating the shaker first, and filling it with Splash Zone sequins, Confetti Sparkle Elements and Sparkle Dust Glitter. I also diecut the beach ball, adhered it to the card front and covered it in Journey Glaze to give it some shine. I stamped the sentiment from the Make a Splash stamp set, and trimmed it into a banner strip. I adhered it coming out from underneath the beach ball, then accented the card with Rainbow Gems to finish.
That is my card set today! You will notice that many of the products are available by themselves, but you do get a significant discount by purchasing the Happy Place project kit. So definitely keep that in mind. If you have any questions about my cards, leave them in the comments and I will be sure to reply.

Have a great rest of your day!

SUPPLY LIST
Happy Friday, crafty friends! It's release day at Pinkfresh Studio, and we are so excited to bring our our brand new stamp & die release from Pinkfresh Studio!
This release includes (6) red rubber background stamps, (3) complementary background dies and (2) coordinating die sets. This is a full release of the Pop Out Background stamps we first introduced in April, and we think you are going to just LOVE it! I am so excited to share all of my card samples with you, but first, here is at all the new products.
JUNE 2020 RELEASE
I've created a new product intro video for you today,
with information on all these new stamps & dies. You can watch it
below, but be sure to click HERE and leave a comment for a chance to win the entire June 2020 release!
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?
Pop Out Diagonal Stripes, Rainbow and Straight Stripes
In our last release we introduced our Color Block die series, and these are the complementary Pop Out Background stamps to those dies. Keep in mind that they don't coordinate, but you can definitely use the outlines from the straight stripes and rainbow, or diecut first then stamp. I focused on creating these beautiful striped backgrounds in a beachy color combo using our premium dye inks. (Colors used: Peach Fuzz, Sweet Mustard, Apricot, Berrylicious, Sky Blue, Aquamarine, Passion Fruit - all linked at the end of the post.)
This first card features the Pop Out: Rainbow background stamp, plus I also used the outline from the Color Block Rainbow die. I turned it into a shaker card, which was easy with the frame I was able to create with our Essentials: Stitched Rectangles die set. The sentiment is from the Pop Out: Hexagon & Layered Script Words stamp sets, and cut using the coordinating Layered Script Words die set. I filled the shaker with an assortment of colors from our Essentials: Crystals Mix, only using the smallest crystal size.
This card features the Pop Out: Diagonal Stripes background stamp. After stamping the background I cut it with the largest Essentials: Stitched Rectangle. Then I diecut a white cardstock panel with the Essentials: Slim Braided Circles die. I diecut the Sentiment Suite: Hello word die three times: once from champagne glitter paper and twice from white cardstock, then stacked & adhered them. I finished the card by accenting with trios of our Essentials: Crystals Mix.
The third card in this set features the Pop Out: Straight Stripes background stamp, which I covered completely a glitter mix. I did a terrible job diecutting the panel, so I diecut a thin frame using the Essentials: Diagonal Stitched Rectangles die set, and covered that bad diecut job. Lol! The sentiment is a mix from our Layered Script Words and Simple Blossoms, and they are adhered/stamped to labels cut using our Essentials: Basic Label Frames. I finished the card by accenting with trios of our Essentials: Crystals Mix.
This beachy color combo was inspired by a card my friend Laura Bassen did during our April release. She is such a color combo genius!
Pop Out Sunburst
This card features the Pop Out Sunburst background stamp in a rainbow gradient of our premium dye inks. (Colors used: Coral Reef, Candy Apple, Clementine, Sunshine, Grassy Knoll, Aquamarine, Candy Violet - all linked at the end of the post.) The mountains were cut using our Falling for You coordinating die set. The snowcaps have to be stamped with that stamp set, and it is a little more "bubbly" than I wanted this card to look. So I grabbed the Skiing By die set and found that the smallest snowcap die from that set fits these mountain tops perfectly! I cut three of them to top the gray mountains.
I did a terrible job diecutting this panel too (I'm not sure what my deal was this week - I've just been a little off), so I created a thin frame from our Essentials: Stitched Rectangles to cover up my mistake. I also cut the mountain layer with the Stitched Rectangle in order to make it match. The sentiment comes from our Scripted Bold Sentiments 1 and Simply Sentiments: Hello stamp sets. I stamped them in our Detail Black ink, then accented with our Essentials: Crystals Mix to finish.
I have SO many more ideas with the Sunburst set! I've got a REALLY cute shaker card in mind, but I had already made a couple of those for this release, so I decided to save that for a different day.
Pop Out Diamonds & Simply Diamonds die
This final card set is a two-fer! I ink blended this pastel rainbow panel using an assortment of our premium dye inks, splattered it with white acrylic ink and then diecut it with the Simply Diamonds die. (Colors used: Coral Reef, Passion Fruit, Apricot, Lemon Whip, Mint, Ocean Breeze, Soft Lilac - all linked at the end of the post.) Next I cut the same die from white cardstock. I separated the inside parts from the outside parts so I could use them on two different cards.
I heat embossed the florals in gold, then stamped the sentiment from our Pop Out Diamonds stamp set to white cardstock. I diecut the sentiment layer and the gold layer using our Essentials: Fancy Label Frames, and layered them over top of a knot of gold thread.
I turned the second card into a shaker, using a mix of flat backed pearls & jewels as my shaker mix. I diecut part of the sentiment from gold & vellum using the Phrase Builder: Sending die set, then stamped the word love with our Layered Script Words stamp set. I layered them over a knot of gold to the card front as well.
Those are all the cards I have for you today! If you have any questions at all, be sure to leave them in the comments.
How about we get to all
the info you need for this new release!
