Pinkfresh Studio November Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release

Hello Friends! A big welcome to the November Pinkfresh Blog Hop, with a brand new set of stamp/die/stencil/hot foil plates!

One of my favorite bundles is anchored by the Charming Floral Border Stamp Set, designed by my friend Alex Syberia. This set has it all, florals, main sentiment words, and secondary sentiments. The florals are small enough to be used underneath your sentiment, or doubled up to fill the entire card.

Let's take a closer look!

This card is made entirely from the Charming Floral Border Stamp Set and the Charming Floral Border Layering Stencils.

I love that in addition to using the stencils to color in the floral strip, the other side of the stencil has several large words, like this Miss You, so you really feel like you're getting a lot from this set. I first stenciled some of the orange that I used for the leaves inside the "Miss You" stencil, and then to give it some punch I stenciled a vibrant red on the bottom of the letters. Also went back to the leaves and stenciled some red highlights to the center floral image. This helps tie the red in the sentiment to the red in the florals.

This Charming Floral Border Stamp Set also has a ton of secondary sentiments! Score! In every card I make featuring a large word sentiment, I love to have a smaller phrase before or after it for balance. This set is a gold mine of secondary sentiments, so it will be on my desk for quite some time : )

This card also features the Charming Floral Border Stamp Set, but this time I've die cut two of the floral strips and put them back-to-back to fill up the card base. Very versatile!

The large "Congrats" is from a really fun set Brushed Sentiment Layering Stencils that I couldn't wait to play with as soon as I saw it! There are 12 words you can mix and match, and layering stencils to form shadows and highlights on the script letters!

Another nice feature is that six of the words are connected together so if you want to make one of the words, the other five are made as well. Always good to have extras ready to go for other projects!

Here's another secondary sentiment from the Charming Floral Border Stamp Set. I'll get so much use out of this set!

Let's take a quick look at the card jewelry! One card features the gold dots, and the other card has the green crystals. Both beautiful accents to the floral design/pattern.

This card features the Sweet Leaves Frame Layering Stencils and Sweet Leaves Frame Die. It does not have a coordinating stamp set, it's just two layers of stencils, but you can still create quite a dramatic frame just by adding your own colors to different parts of the stencil. For example, I colored the middle bunch of leaves on the top and bottom yellow, and the rest green.

The "Celebrate" word die from the Scripted Greetings Dies is extended across the floral frame three times for impact. You can see two more of the secondary sentiments that I embossed in gold on vellum from the Charming Floral Border Stamp Set. Love a card with a lot to say.

I experimented with a gray swiss dot and a charcoal background for inside the card. Both slightly different looks.
