Poinsettia Washi Tape with Pinkfresh Studio

Hi crafty friends, 

Pinkfresh Studio do florals so well, they also do stencils really well, they also have the most beautiful washi tapes that are a joy to work with. This Poinsettia washi tape is no exception!

It is GORGEOUS!!!

I was trying to wait very patiently for my Pinkfresh Studio festive order to arrive, well, not really...

It's really challenging for me to see the designers get their goodies first and create such beauty, then I have to wait a number of weeks to get my hands on them. It's not PFS fault, the postage is sooooo slooooow these days which appears to be down to some staffing capacities within the postal supply chain. The world is a little weird just now that's for sure, and it makes me sad. 

These cards that I created make me very happy though, as does the festive time of year 😁

As well as the washi goodness, two out of the three cards also came together using some hot foiling plates. This included the big sentiments and the diagonal striped background. 

I was so proud of creating a slimline card that depicted a door juts by using some Pinkfresh dies in my stash. The wreaths that are in a few of the was his can be used all year round with this design too!

Well, I hope you enjoy your weekend, whatever you may have planned. I will be creating as I usually do. Just now, I feel I need it to help me with my mental health. To me, cardmaking is such a wonderful part of my life. 💗

Christmas Gift Card & Matching Tags with Pigment Craft Co.

 

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends!

Today's post is a little different regarding my creations. I ordered the Round Nesting Tags by Pigment Craft Co because I wanted to create a gift card and matching tags with Pigments new festive release. I am one of Pigments Guest Designers for the month of October, so this is part of that. You have already seen four cards earlier in the month and I still have other creations to share with you before the month is out!

 

I die cut the tags in different sizes and used a circle die and cut out some soft contrast cardstock. I then used the Bitty Dot Stencil to add the background dots. You will see the background leaf, thats taken from the Winter Sprig Stamp & Die Set. I heat embossed the JOY in silver and die cut it out. This useful sentiment is from the Star Wreath Stamp Set. I used the small berries and holly from the FaLaLaLa set to accent the sentiment. To finish, I added the With Love from Vintage Merry Christmas Stamp Set.

I know I will be using these dies again as they are one of those die sets that I would class as essentials in my stash.

I am a busy beaver this Thanksgiving weekend and really going into full Christmas card making mode!!

I can not wait to share with you what I have been up to!
