Hi there! Today I’m joining Pinkfresh Studio for their Holiday Release Blog Hop!
I’ve created a couple of cards using the gorgeous new products.
My first card features the Merry Days stamp & Die. I create a stripy background using strips of solid cardstock. I embossed the Merry Days tree image in white onto the colorful strips and popped the tree over top, followed by an embossed sentiment.
My next card features the Season’s Greetings stamp & die set.
I embossed the wreath and bow image in clear and blended some of the gorgeous new Pinkfresh Studio inks for color. I adhered thin strips of the same solid cardstock down the center of the card. For the sentiment I used the Classic Holiday Word dies and added clear droplets for embellishment.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards:

I keep telling myself I don’t need them but then the screaming in my head says “Yes you do”. lol. Oh and those inks. I love inks that work together like this. I have such a hard time with some of my layering stamps because I don’t have the right shades. This will make that so easy breezy. Thank you for sharing Laura. Your work as always is A-MAZING. lol
