Pinkfresh Studio Card

 Hello,

Today I'm sharing a card I have made using this beautiful set of stamps, stencils and dies from Pinkfresh Studio which Janine is now stocking at The Mad Scrapper  . There are a few different sets available in store/online. I will admit I passed them by when they first came in but boy did I make a mistake because they really are wonderful. This is the card I made for The Mad Scrapper Blog and a full list of products is below.

This is the set I used it is called Be Fearless from their latest release and Janine is carrying others so do check them out. If you are going online do put in the full Pinkfresh Studios into the search bar. As you can see I have the stamp, stencil and die all come individually and they are perfect for both cardmaking and scrapbooking.

The stamp is in one piece so all is stamped at one time, the stencil works the same way and it has 5 pieces allowing you to get great shading. Below you can see my first try. I started by lightly stamping the image then I coloured in using the stencil and then I restamped the image straight over the top to give a much crisper finish.

These are the colours I used and can be found in store.

I made a 8x6 card blank, then I created a mat using marshmallow and a stencil inking through with 2 of the colours above. Then I took a Spellbinders die (which I've had for years!) using the marshmallow I cut a frame and another out of candy floss to go under. A stitched oval was placed in the centre then I attached it all to the card with foam under for definition.

Here you can see how I have used all the flowers to make clusters around the right side of the frame. To finish off I added 3 colours of pearls and a sentiment from my stash.

Just look how pretty they are after you have coloured and cut them out.

I did try another colourway and made another little card and look how many I still have left. I stamped the image twice both times because you can always keep them ready for another time. The stamp set comes with 2 large sentiments which have dies and another 3 which do not.

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope you will go over to check them all out they are gorgeous, I can't wait to try different colour options out.

Sue.

3 Amigo's

 Hello,

Today it's my turn to share over at The Mad Scrapper Blog and I'm sharing this fun layout of my 2 crafty cousins Karen and Alyson on a great day out in Seattle recently. Whilst I was there we went to lots of places together and I called us the 3 Amigos. We always started our day with a photo and made sure to capture lots more memories 

I started by taking Whatever Solid- paper 3 and a sheet of navy I cut the green down to 11 1/2 and offset it on the blue. A full list of all I've used is at the bottom of this page. I decided to use a sketch for this layout just so each holiday page wasn't looking the same. Below is the sketch and as you can see I have flipped it so I can add my photos top to bottom.

The first thing I did was to select the papers for my banners I included the 1/2 inch strips from the green but using the opposite side showing the darker green. Then I gutted the centre out of Solid-paper 2 along with some navy, cream and turquoise. Because some of my strips were not long enough I have a gap in the middle. I layed them out and chose which ones I wanted to stitch through doing so I then stuck them down.

 I adhered my 3 photos to a piece of black and added foam underneath for dimension, I also pulled out some laser cut lace pieces from previous collections and tucked one along each edge just to soften it.

I pretty much followed the sketch by adding 2 clusters and a area for journaling. I also added some rub-ons about the page to fill any gaps. I have used 49andmarket and Green Tara flowers.

I typed my journaling and added it to some black making a banner edge. I have also used some Serenity chipboards about the page too.

A closer look shows extra pearls, a open leaf and puffy hearts.

The laser cut lace, banners and puffy hearts.

The 3 Amigo's I typed and added it under the luggage label. The little cameras I'm in love with and the little family label I have had as long as I've been scrapbooking which is coming up to 28 years soon.

Thanks for stopping by again today, this collection of papers are travel themed but to be honest stretch much further with their rich tones, pop in and check them out instore or go to The Mad Scrapper  and see them all there.
