Pinkfresh Studio August 2020 Stamp and Die Release Blog Hop

It's a busy day on the blog, but I'm thrilled to be here for the Pinkfresh Studio August 2020 Stamp and Die Release Blog Hop! There are so many new products that you're sure to fall in love with! I have quite a bit to share with you today and the list of the other designers participating in the hop will be at the bottom of today's post! Before I begin with the projects, there is a shipping promo going on which you can read about below.

As always Pinkfresh Studios will be giving away the ENTIRE release to one lucky winner on the Pinkfresh Blog, You Tube and Instagram! Also, simply leave a comment here and on each of the other designers' blogs for a chance to win a $25 dollar gift certificate to the Pinkfresh Studio shop!

Each of my projects today uses the new Essentials Shaker Tags Die Collection but each in a different way! I absolutely adore this large size because it works nicely for a card front, but is also so nice to accent a gift to really make a nice statement!

You can see it here on its own as a tag. The background was stamped using the new Sweet Blooms Background stamp with some added ink blended around the edges. Each of my projects also uses the previously released Artistic Bows dies which are the perfect accent to these large tags!

For the card, I did some emboss resist using the Sweet Blooms background stamp and then added the tag over the top. I used one of the included windows, which are really meant to create shakers, but work nicely otherwise as well! It was the perfect spot to add the heat embossed sentiment which is from the new Sending Love and Hugs stamp set. I rarely heat emboss with black powder, but I don't really know why not! I really love the crisp, saturated look it gives the sentiment!

The flowers on both cards are from the new Charming Floral Wreath stamp set. This set allows you to either color it with the medium of your choice, OR use the solid stamps. I chose to use both  for these two projects!

Up next is a card using the fabulous new Sweet Blooms Coordinating Stencils! This pairs with the Sweet Blooms background which I used on the previous two projects. For this one, I stamped the background in black and then used the 3 coordinating stencils to add the different colors; leaves, larger blooms, and smaller blooms!

For the final step, I added the Aquamarine ink and then Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste. I set it aside to dry while I got to work on the other card elements. I used the tag dies again, but this time I used the smallest tag, arranged on its side for the sentiment.

I'm smitten with this new You're Every Good Thing sentiment, AND the entire set, for that matter! I only used the sentiment today, but rest assured I won't be able to resist the floral images for long!

I added some more of the flowers from the Charming Floral Wreath to frame the sentiment. A bow glued to the side finishes this off. I added it to a top folding A2 black card base using foam squares.

My last two projects of the hop are these two tags using even more of my new favorites! The background for each tag was created by stamping the Colorblock Gradiating Stripes Background in both yellow and purple. I chose to use just one shade of ink for each tag, but this stamp allows you to create multi colored backgrounds very easily.

The sentiment portions are die cuts that are included in the Essentials Shaker Tags die collection. I stamped them with two of the darling sentiments from the You Can Change the World stamp set. I just love the combination of fonts to create these fabulous sentiments!

This new floral image is going to be a fan favorite, I can tell! I love how large it is, which makes it fabulous for card fronts! It also works perfectly with these large tags!

You could wrap a gift quite simply and then just add one of these tags to do the rest of the work! If you're not a tag person, this design could easily be added to a card front for something like I showed earlier.

I love how easily it is to get bows that coordinate perfectly with the inks by simply die cutting them from white cardstock and then adding the ink with blender brush or sponge.

Make sure to leave a comment to be eligible for a chance to win AND don't forget to hop along to the other designers' blogs to see how they've used these amazing new products! Thanks for fluttering by!
