Pinkfresh Studio Ink Pad Release Blog Hop


Hello friends, and welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio Ink Pad Release Blog Hop.

Pinkfresh has done it again. Amazing, high-quality products that you absolutely need in your stash. The colors of these ink pads are saturated and vibrant, giving you the perfect impression every time. They are available in full size or ink cubes, and I’m sure you’ll love them as much as I do!

I’m excited to be part of this blog hop. I have three cards to share with you. They all feature the Just a Little Lovely collection, the Lovely Blossoms Stamp and Die set and, of course, the gorgeous ink pads.

I started by stamping an unbelievable amount of flowers and leaves! LOL! I chose a variety of colors that complemented the ones in the paper collection.

For the first card, I used the “New Thoughts” patterned paper and die cut two rectangles with the Stitched Rectangles Stand Alone Cuts. I adhered the smaller one to the base with foam adhesive and arranged three Wood Accent Stickers on top – it gives me the idea of a wall décor piece. I then placed the stamped flowers and leaves in the top left and bottom right corner, as well as in between the sentiments. Finished the card with enamel dots in coordinating colors.

The second card features the “One fine day” paper. This time I used the Diagonal Stitched Rectangles Die Set for my card base. I also cut a circle from pink cardstock using the Braided Circles Die Set for the center. Before adhering it down, I added two Gold Foiled Acetate Ephemera pieces on top and bottom, just to bring in a bright and shiny element. I decided to use just one of the flowers in the stamp set and create a wreath with them – they look like ribbons to me. I finished it with a Puffy Sticker sentiment and colored twine.

The third card is the simplest of the three, but I love how dainty it looks. The “Highlight” paper features a lovely floral pattern, perfect to use as a card base. Using both sides of the paper, I die cut two diagonal stitched rectangles in different sizes. I then adhered seven sentiment strips from the Just a Little Lovely collection to the front and arranged the remaining stamped flowers and foliage in between. Simple, easy, done!

GIVEAWAY!!! To celebrate this release, Pinkfresh is giving away the full-sized ink pad release on their blog, and the full mini cube release on their IG feed.

This new release is stunning! I love every single product, and I’m very excited to share my layout with you today. I chose the Simply The Best Stamp Set with coordinating dies. The size of the flowers is perfect for a 12×12 scrapbook layout.

I started by stamping the flowers with a variety of Altenew Crisp Dye Inks:

  • pink flowers: Baby Pink, Fuchsia, Razzleberry;
  • orange flowers: Vanilla Cream, Orange Cream, Firebrick;
  • purple flowers: Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields, Andromeda.

I then cut them with the coordinating dies – the die set includes not only a die for the large flower, but also one for the smaller flower and one for the center, allowing you to build several layers and unique clusters.

I added a floral cut file to the background before arranging all the other elements. This is something I often do, as it brings in an extra layer of interest and softens the look of the page.

I created three clusters, two on opposite corners of the photo and one in the top right area. Everything was adhered down with foam dots.

Last but not least, the sentiments. They come in the same set and are lovely. I stamped three of them on smooth white cardstock and shaped them in a banner shape before adhering them down. A wooden button, orange foliage, and several die cuts from the Live Your Dream collection finished the layout.

Now onto the prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by 8/14/2019 for a chance to win.

This is such an amazing release – not only stamp sets and dies, but also stencils and a brand new stamping mat!

You know how much a love flowers, especially Altenew designs, so I couldn’t pass on the Charming Doodles Stamp Set.

The dainty look of this set caught my eye; what I love is the variety of shapes and sizes that allow you to create an interesting and dreamy background.

Here is the layout I created with it; very simple but also delicate and pretty. The doodles in this stamp set are beautiful!

I started by stamping my images on smooth white cardstock. I used the following Altenew Crisp Dye Inks: Chamomile, Sunray, Marigold, Snapdragon, Crimson, Baby Pink, Just Green, and the brand new Obsidian Pigment Ink.

I then created a big cluster on which I placed my photo. I used foam dots to give dimension and layer all my elements. The sentiments are from the Live Your Dream Scrapbook Collection.

I also added some of the stamped images along the right side of the page, just to complete the look. Easy peasy!

Now onto the prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on theAltenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by 7/16/2019 for a chance to win.
