Pinkfresh Studio May 2022 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release

 


Hello! 

Welcome to the second to last stop on the new release blog hop for Pinkfresh Studio! I've got two cards to share with you showing different ways to use one of the background cover plates.

You may have just come from Karin's blog, but if not feel free to start at the beginning with Pinkfresh Studio!

Both cards feature these two products:

Grant Yourself Grace Stamp Set

Stitched Diamonds Coverplate Die

Let's take a look!

 
Love love love the new 
Grant Yourself Grace Stamp Set with the coordinating die and stencil. You might be thinking, well, it's just another pretty floral set with stencils to color. 

Nope! This stencil set has been cleverly designed to block off certain areas of the design which will be open on other stencils. This means now you can finally ink two light colors independent of each other! They are not going to be muddied together when you're blending on top of an existing layer. 



One way to see what I mean is to look at the orange areas in the flowers above. You'll probably recognize that typically spaces like this would be in a shadow, and we'd naturally colors those areas in a darker red, to be layered upon . In this case however, it's colored in a purely lighter orange, not a color that had to be layered upon.


Here's another great sentiment that's included in this set. I heat embossed it in gold on vellum and wrapped it around the card panel. The top forals/leaves are placed on top of the vellum, and the bottom set underneath.


And let's not forget that gorgeous background from the
Stitched Diamonds Coverplate DieJust a simple ink blending on top of all of those dashes soakes the ink right into your panel.

The next card uses the same Stitched Diamonds Coverplate Die.

 

Instead of leaving the panel plain as a way to add texture like the first card, I blended different colors into the stencil I made, and ended up with 3 different rows of color. You can see the stencil I made on the left with all the red and purple ink. I just cut
the stitched diamonds out of one row.


Another difference is this time I used gold thread to stitch around the outline of each diamond. It was so easy to do because the coverplate leaves tiny holes in the point of each design, just right for your needle to go thru.


I love all the added sparkle it gives with the gold!


The flower is from the same
Grant Yourself Grace Stamp Set as the first card, I just switched up the colors. Now I have a darker color where it's "supposed to be" in the darker crevices.


The sentiment is a new one from
Modern Script Sentiment Hot Foil. As always, after hot foiling the first round of sentiments, I used the full plate to hot foil the negative space, and then die cut those out. Such a great 2-for-1 project!

  11. More great inspiration! I ordered the Grant Yourself Grace this morning and can't wait for it to get here. I didn't order the Stitched Diamonds since I already had a Diamonds Piercing Plate from another company, but can still try out your ideas.

  15. Wow!! These cards are amazing. I love them both but the way you have used the cover die and colour to create the diamonds on the background is gorgeous. It really is a stand out!! :)

  16. Gasp! I LOVE what you did with the diamond cover plate. You were really thinking outside the box, creating the stencil to add color and then stitching. Gorgeous. Now I've got to have the cover plate. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration.

  17. I love to stop by and see all the clever ways you use new products, Kelly, and you didn't disappoint. Making a stencil to color portions of the diamonds was such a great idea but then stitching gold thread around them really adds an elegant yet playful feel. The other card is gorgeous and what a wonderful sentiment.

  21. Hi, Kelly - You consistently offer all of us dynamite inspiration! What you have shared is so pretty! Love the Stiched Diamonds cover and THOSE FLORALS! That Grant Yourself Grace (the theme of my year as a teacher!!) is fabulous! I thought my list consisted of Wildflowers, Painted Daisies and the Diamonds plate but now I am thinking I will have to add Grant Yourself Grace (it has fantastic sentiments in addition to gorgeous floral images). Thanks for providing us with these excellent exemplars!
