Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio Holiday 2022 new release blog hop! Whew! It's going to be a great hop! I've already seen some sneak peeks and everyone's projects are amazing! This new release is SO sparkly and pretty and wonderful. When I first saw all the products - well, I wanted everything! Hot foil plates, stencils, dies that cut to perfection....it's all great! I have two cards to share with you today - both Christmas cards! It's nice to get started on holiday cards at the same time we are enjoying Fall crafting. If you're new to my blog - welcome! Enjoy the hop - prize information, supply lists, and hop links are at the bottom of my post. The new release is available now for shopping!
My first card is MERRY and BRIGHT!! It features the brand new Snowflakes Hot Foil and dies, the Festive Leaves stencils and dies and the brand new Merry & Bright Hot Foil and dies combo!! I used vivid colors and bright silver foil and it's so happy!! My finished card is a 5.25" x 5.25" square with a teal card base. I layered white cardstock, and then all the fun new elements.
Here's a side view so you can see my layers. I hot foiled the sentiment with silver foil using my glimmer system. I cut a second die cut from plain white paper and glued the two together to make the words nice and thick. I also hot foiled the snowflakes with silver foil onto vellum. This is very very elegant and pretty. Definitely feels like winter.
The Festive Leaves stencils and die set are super cool! You stencil the entire sheet of leaves and then they die cut all at once!!! No lining up all those leaves! Just one pass through the die cutting machine!! I used greens, pinks, reds and teals!!
I affixed the sentiment onto the center of the card with small foam dots. Then I mixed and matched the leaves around the words. I also added the pretty snowflakes!!
I splashed on some silvery white watercolor paint to look like snow.
I glued some aqua gems to the centers of the snowflakes. EEP. So pretty!!!
Next up is a very classic Christmas card, reminiscent of the festive ornaments from the 1960's! Beautiful baubles on the green branches are so evocative of Christmas don't you think? This finished card is an A2 red card base. This card features the brand new Ornaments Suite, along with some supplies from prior releases. I used the Sparkling Diamonds Cover Plate to make the background design. I hot foiled the ornaments and then used the matching stencils to add the color.
I stamped the sentiment and die cut it from the matching dies. I like how the words are separated so you can arrange them however you want to on your card. I used gold hot foil on the ornaments and used a primary colors palette....
I added a few gemstones to the ornaments and backgrounds. The tree sprigs are from the Holiday Ornaments stencil and die set....
I attached the ornaments to the card using foam dots to make them pop off the page. I feel like the diamond design in the background looks like snowflakes!
That's it for my projects for today! I'm always super grateful to work with the talented and generous team at Pinkfresh Studio - they are a dream to work with. Thank you so much for joining me today on this fun blog hop day! Happy crafting!
