Pinkfresh Studio: Season's Greetings

11/27/2020

Happy Black Friday, friends! Christmas season is officially here! Today I am sharing two very traditional wreath cards using the Season's Greetings stamp set and coordinating dies by Pinkfresh Studio. Lately, I have been drawn to more classic and elegant stamps and Pinkfresh Studio had many beautiful designs that caught my eye upon a recent purchase.

Card details:

*A full supply list is located at the end of this post.

*Please note both cards were made using the same cutting measurements and instructions, I simply alternated between red, green and blue color combinations. The base of each A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah White Solar Smooth cardstock. I cut a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of plaid paper and adhered it directly to the card base. I cut a white scalloped frame and adhered it to the center of the card. On a separate piece of white cardstock, I heat embossed the wreath with gold embossing powder. I colored the wreath using Copic markers and die cut the wreath.

I adhered the wreath to the center of the scalloped frame using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. I stamped the sentiment in the center of the wreath in Versamark ink and heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder. On a scrap piece of blue cardstock, I heat embossed the bow with gold embossing powder and used the coordinating die to die cut the bow. I adhered the bow to the bottom of the wreath using a Tombow dot runner.

Typically I would say that I like the blue wreath more (because blue is my favorite color). But, this time, I'm leaning more toward the red and green wreath! Do you favor one design/color combination more than the other?

Thank you for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

XO, Crystal

Today I am sharing two shaker cards created using the beautiful Heart and Soul stamp set by Pinkfresh Studio. This is only the second stamp set that I own by Pinkfresh Studio and I have had it sitting in my craft room for longer than I care to admit! Thanks to Covid-19, and being on a reduced schedule at work, I am finding far more time to craft than usual and I have so much to share!

Both of these A2 sized cards were made the same way simply using a different color scheme. The base of this card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. I cut a frame from Pretty Peacock cardstock using the Reverse Scallop Rectangle frames. I lined the back of the frame with a sheet of acetate. Then I lined the back of the frame with thin strips of 3M foam adhesive for a raised frame that sequins can fit under. I stamped the sentiment in the center of the white base cardstock in either Pretty Peacock or Gorgeous Grape ink. I added about two tablespoons of sequins before adhering the frame on top. On a separate sheet of Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock, I stamped the large floral image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I die cut the image using the coordinating Heart and Soul die cuts. I adhered the image directly to the cardstock with 3M foam adhesive. Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers for added sparkle.

Shaker cards are one of my favorite interactive cards to make (probably because I think they're the easiest)! Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
