Pinkfresh Studio “Delights & Doodles” Release Blog Hop



Hello crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing a super fun and whimsical card design
that's sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.
Featuring a cute Ice Cream Truck Scene,
this card captures all the joy of summer --- and it's surprisingly easy to make!


🎨 Supplies used:

- Embellishments: Jewels
- Cardstock in light pink and white



🍨 Sweet Summer Vibes: Ice Cream Truck Card Tutorial 🍦

✂️ Step-by-Step Instructions:


1. Prepare Your Background
Start with a light pink A2 card base.
This soft pastel tone sets a sweet, dreamy mood for your design.
You can also lightly blend some ink around the edges for added depth.


2. Color and Die Cut your Ice Cream Truck
The truck is first ink blended using the stencil Set and then die cut.
Use your die cutting machine and coortinating die 
to cut out the ice cream truck shape. 


3. Add Details with Stamps
Stamp cute elements like ice cream cones and the adorable animal driver
 with Versamark and heat emboss it white.
Color them with the matching stencils and soft dye inks for a sweet pastel palette.


4. Build the Scene
Cut the truck into two parts.
Adhere the back part of the truck onto the right edge of the card and
 the front part onto the left edge.
 Use foam dots to pop up for dimensions.
Layer the ice cream elements on top of the truck.
 Don't forget to add tiny touches like the small waffle cones and the animal driver into the windows.


5. Sentiment and Embellishments
Stamp the sentiment "Happiness is a cone away" directly onto the background.
Then, finish off your card with sparkling jewels and 
some stamped stars for that extra touch of magic.


This Ice Cream Truck Card is perfect for birthdays, thank-you notes,
 or just a happy hello.
 It's a little scene that tells a story - one of sweetness, joy and endless summer treats. I hope this inspires you to create your own version!


Stay crafty & cool 🍨

Pinkfresh Studio “Good Times” Release Blog Hop



🌸 DIY Card Inspiration with Pinkfresh Studio’s Plumeria Stamp Set 🌸



Hi crafty friends!
Today I’m excited to share a soft and elegant card design that I created 
using the beautiful Plumeria Stamp Set and 
This dreamy floral card is perfect for sending a heartfelt message to someone special ... especially someone with a beautiful soul.

Products Used:


- Plumeria Stamp Set

- Plumeria Layering Stencil - for soft, effortless coloring

- Plumeria Die Set - to perfectly cut out the stamped and stenciled image

- Double Stitched Elongated Oval Die Set - adds an elegant base layer

- Beautiful Soul Stamp Set - for the sentiment

- Pinkfresh Studio Premium Dye Inks - in fresh greens and soft pinks

- White embossing powder - for that touch of luxury

- Foam adhesive - to add dimension



Cardmaking Process:


1. I started by stamping the Plumeria floral cluster in clear embossing ink and 

heat embossed it with white embossing powder. 

This gives the image a delicate, 

shiny outline that really elevates the entire look.



2. Using the coordinating layering stencils,

 I softly blended shades of green and pink onto the flowers and leaves. 

The layering stencils make it so easy to achieve a professional, shaded look without

needing advanced coloring skills.



3. After stenciling, I used the coordinating die to cut out the floral piece. 

I also cut a base from blush cardstock using the Double Stitched Elongated Oval Die,

which adds a lovely stitched detail and

frames the floral design perfectly.


4. I mounted the stitched oval on a matching blush card base, 

then added the florals with foam tape for

some depth and dimension. 

The final touch is a gold heat-embossed sentiment:

"For a beautiful soul" - which is included in the Beautiful Soul Stamp Set.



This card came together beautifully and feels both soft and elegant.

 The combination of the Plumeria florals and

 the stitched oval background creates a serene and graceful design that's

perfect for many occasions-from sympathy and encouragement to just-because.


If you haven't tried the Plumeria set yet,

 I highly recommend it-especially paired with Pinkfresh's

layering stencils and delicate dies. It's a dream to work with!



Happy crafting!

Karin

Pinkfresh Studio “Joyful Blooms” Release Blog Hop


Hi dear Crafty Friends,

I'll show you how to create a stunning DIY card with the new Joyful Blooms Release from Pinkfresh Studio.


Are you ready to add a fresh touch of floral beauty to your handmade cards? 

The new Joyful Blooms Release from Pinkfresh Studio is perfect for crafters who love elegant, detailed floral designs. 

Today, I’m sharing a step-by-step look at how I created this beautiful card using the Joyful Blooms stamp set, coordinating stencils, and a mix of soft and vibrant colors.


  1. Use a base card with dimensions 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches
  2. For the panel, cut two strips of white cardstock measuring 1 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches and one slightly wider strip measuring 2 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches.
  3. Color the wider stripe with a blending brush and the ink color key lime in a pastel shade.
  4. Arrange the three stripes so that the green one is in the middle, and the two white stripes are slightly raised using 3D foam pads. Now set the finished panel onto the card base.
  5. Stamp the lower set from the Blooming Grace Stamp Set (with the many smaller individual flowers) twice in black. Add color to the flowers and leaves using the Coordinating Stencils and the Ink Colors Clementine, Raspberry BlissCandy Violet and Key Lime.
  6. Die cut all the flowers with the Coordinating Die
  7. Arrange the flowers on the green strip in a pretty way, however you like, and attach them with some dimension.  
  8. The Sentiment is from the same set, Blooming Grace. Stamp it in black as well and cut them out with the Corresponding Die.
  9. Place the Sentiment on the card and embellish it with colorful matching Clear Drops in the Colors Amber, Lilac, and Magenta.





Stay tuned for more creative inspiration! Let me know your thoughts on this design in the 
comments.
Happy crafting! ✨

Pinkfresh Studio “Pure Bliss” Release Blog Hop




Hi my lovely Crafty Friends!!

It's time for the new Pinkfreshstudio Release!!

Today, I’m excited to share a beautifully crafted card featuring
 the Classic Correspondence product suite. 
To add an extra layer of elegance and texture, 
I used the Floral Field Die as a background.


 1. Use a card base with dimensions 5 3/4 x 4 1/2 inches and
 on top a card panel with dimensions 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 inches.
2. Die-cut the Floral Field from white cardstock and
 attach it to the card panel using 3D foam for added dimension.
3. Stamp all classic correspondence parts twice with Versamark and emboss them in white.
4. Color them using the coordinating stencils, then die-cut them with the matching Die
For the envelope and pen i choose
 the ink Colors Ballet Slipper, Lemon Whip,Olive and Misty Coast.
5. For a little extra touch, cut out the small tag on the second envelope with scissors. 
Now wrap the envelope with fine white thread and attach the small tag with a bow. 
You can now easily place the pen under the thread.
6. For the sentiment, stamp the phrase "May your day be filled with joy" 
from the You Are My Rainbow Set in black and die-cut them with the coordinating Die
7. To complete the card, place the envelope and the sentiment on the flower field
 and add a few glitter drops.




Stay tuned for more creative inspiration,
 and let me know what you think of this design in the comments!
 Happy crafting!

Gentle Greetings & Greenery” Release Blog Hop

 

Hello Happy Crafters!!!!

It's great to have you here for 
the Pinkfresh Studio Gentle & Greenery Release Blog Hop!!

Today, I want to share a card design
where the spotlight is on the beautiful new "Thinking of You" Set.
This Set offers endless creative possibilities and 
makes it easy to craft something truly special.

I wanted to craft a beautiful Bouquet using the Flowers from the Thinking of You Stamp Set.
 To achieve this, I stamped the Flowers three times and heat-embossed them in white,
 giving them a delicate and elegant touch.

With the coordinating Stencils, I added a bit of Color to the Flowers 
before cutting them out with the matching Die.

Next, I arranged the Flowers into a Bouquet and 
placed them on a Background created using
 two different sizes from the Nested Hexagon Die Set.

For the Sentiment, I simply stamped the Love & Hugs Design from the Set in black, 
die-cut it, and placed it on the Bouquet. 
It adds just the right touch to complete the Card, 
highlighting the floral arrangement beautifully.


Happy Crafting!!
