Pinkfresh Studio May Essentials Release Blog Hop

Welcome to Pinkfresh Studio May Essentials Release Blog Hop! You will get chance to play with some of basic and unique cutting dies, and most exciting part for me is that Pinkfresh Studio added some Crystals and Jewels into the craft collections. Today I would like to show you couple cards featuring Pretty Frame 2 Die with those gorgeous embellishments!

<Card 1>

 

To make this card, I ink blended my background with Tim Holtz Distress oxide ink in Mustard Seed and Worn Lipstick onto a piece of A2 sized watercolor paper.  Once the surface is completely dried, I stamped the large sentiment “You”ve got this” from You’ve Got this! stamp set to the center of the background using Versafine Onyx black ink.

 

I used Pretty Frame 2 die to cut whole bunch shapes of frames out of Neenah Solar white 110 lbs cardstock paper and chose some a few to attach to the background using Multi Medium Matte and Foam tapes. I embellished my card with a few yellow jewels from Jewel Mix. So my first card is done.

 

<Card 2>

When I saw all color options from Crystal Mix, I decided to make this card colorful. I ink blended with Tim Holtz Distress oxide ink in squeezed Lemonade, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron and Salty Ocean onto a piece of A2 sized watercolor paper.

I used some of frames cut out from Pretty Frame 2 Die to create my shaker window frame. I poured some coordinating colors from Crystal Mix and sealed the window with Acetate paper and Foam tapes (I stacked Foam tapes twice to build higher clearance so all crystals could be in the window moving freely). At last, I added “smiles” Puffy stickers from Everyday Musings Puffy Accents to finish my card.
