Hello, crafty friends!
It's release day at Pinkfresh Studio and we have a wonderful Blog Hop to celebrate Pinkfresh Studio's September 2020 Stamp and Die Release! You aren't going to want to miss a stop along the way. This blog hop is full of amazing projects showcased by all the guest designers and the design team.

You should’ve arrived here from the talented, Heather Hoffman's blog, if you’re following the blog hop order. In case you’re lost on the way or want to start over, please hop over to Pinkfresh Studio blog!
We've got TONS of inspiration and giveaways for you on the hop today, so keep reading till the end of this post for more information.


I have got THREE Cards to share today and have focused on the Sleigh Bells Ring Stamp and coordinating Die Set throughout all of my cards, mixing them with other items from this release.  Let's just get right into it all!

The Sleigh Bells Ring Stamp is a 4"x6" photopolymer clear stamp set with 16 images designed by Lizzy M. It is made to coordinate with the Sleigh Bells Ring Die Set, which available for purchase separately. Perfect for a special Christmas card, or for sending out winter wishes all season long, the sentiments are versatile enough to be used for more than just the holidays.


My first Card features the Sleigh Bells Ring Stamp, and the Our Home To Yours Stamp set. All the stamps in this month's release are simply fabulous and I had a ball mixing and matching different sets to create my projects! 
I stamped the critters from the Sleigh Bells Ring Stamp on a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110LBS Cardstock using Detail Black Ink. I let them dry for a bit and then coloured the images using Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers. Once my colouring was complete, I die cut the images using the coordinating Sleigh Bells Ring Die Set.

Next, I stamped the sleigh from the Sleigh Bells Ring Stamp using Candy Apple ink and then die cut the image using the coordinating die set. Once that was done, I stamped a couple of houses from the Our Home To Yours Stamp using Ballet Slipper, Sky Blue, and Mint dye inks. These are some of my most favourite ink colors from Pinkfresh and I love using them time and again for my projects! Once my images were stamped, I die cut them using the coordinating die set and kept them aside.

I wanted to create a soft, winter sky for my card background, so I took a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock and ink blended the background using Ocean Breeze ink. Next, I stamped some simple snowflakes on the top half of the panel using the Ocean Breeze ink for a monochromatic look. I also stamped, coloured, and die cut a little birdie from the Sleigh Bells Ring Stamp set and popped it to my panel using foam dots. 

I adhered the sleigh, stamped houses, and critters to my card panel using foam squares. Then, I stamped my sentiment from the Our Home To Yours Stamp on it using Detail Black Ink. To finish, I added some white Jewels and Diamond Stickles over the stamped snowflakes for some shimmer and shine! 


My second card for today also features the Sleigh Bells Ring Stamp and Our Home To Yours Stamp sets.

For this card, I first stamped the different houses from the Our Home To Yours Stamp using Metropolis ink on a piece of Neenah Solar White Classic Crest 110 LBS Cardstock. I stamped them a bit afar from each other, as I wanted to partially die cut the entire border using the coordinating Our Home to Yours die set. This was a bit time-consuming to do, as the alignment needed to be perfect, but I think it was well worth it in the end. 

Next, I stamped the critters from the Sleigh Bells Ring Stamp set on some Neenah White Cardstock using Detail Black Ink. I coloured them using Zig Clean Color Brush Markers and then die cut the images using the coordinating die set. I also stamped the sleigh from the Sleigh Bells Ring Stamp set using Berrylicious ink and die cut it as well using the coordinating Sleigh Bells Ring die set

Once that was done, I decided to add some bells and gift boxes to my panel to create a more lively scene. The bells were stamped using Detail Black Ink and then coloured using Zig Markers. The gifts were stamped in an assortment of colours - Candy Violet, Berrylicious, and Sunshine . I die all of them using the coordinating Sleigh Bells Ring die set, and popped them to my panel using foam squares. Next, I took a piece of Navy Blue Cardstock and stamped some snowflakes on it using the Sleigh Bells Ring Stamp and then heat embossed it using Ultra Fine White Embossing Powder. I then die cut the panel using the Stitched Rectangles die set and kept it aside.

I took another piece of Neenah Solar White Cardstock and used the Floral Diamond Cling Stamp to stamp on it using Metropolis ink. Next, I die cut a hill slope from White Cardstock and adhered it to the front of my card panel using foam dots. I coloured the edge of the slope using Ocean Breeze ink to give it more definition. Then, I stamped my sentiment on it from the Tree Trimming Friends stamp set using Detail Black Ink. Once that was done, I adhered my panels to a white card base. I also added a teeny bit of Diamond Stickles to the embossed snowflakes and hill slope for a touch of shimmer. 


My third and final card for today features the Tree Trimming Friends Stamp, and the Our Home To Yours Stamp Set.

I stamped the lush Christmas tree images from the Tree Trimming Friends Stamp set using Evergreen and Emerald City dye inks for the first tree, and Meadow and Emerald City inks for the second tree on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 LBS Cardstock. I let them dry for a bit and then die cut them using the coordinating Tree Trimming Friends die set. Next, I stamped the Christmas ornaments for the tree using Detail Black Ink and then coloured them using Zig Brush Markers. I die cut these too using the coordinating die set and kept them aside. 

Next, I stamped the sweet bunnies from the Tree Trimming Friends stamp set on Neenah Cardstock using Detail Black Ink and coloured them using Zig Brush Markers. I have done very simple colouring, but you can make it as detailed as you would like - That's the beauty of these stamp sets! Later, I die cut them using the coordinating die set.

 To add some visual interest to the scene, I decided to add stamped houses and gift boxes. I stamped the houses from the Our Home To Yours Stamp Set using Ballet Slipper and Sky Blue inks and then die cut them using the coordinating dies.  The gift boxes are from the Sleigh Bells Ring Stamp set and were stamped using Berrylicious and Sunshine inks. I popped all of these images to my card panel using foam squares for dimension.

To bring the scene to life, I decided to create an ink blended galaxy sky. I took a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 LBS Cardstock and blended the panel using Stargazer, Sapphire, and Summer Shower inks. I then flicked some water on the panel to create a bleached look. Once that was done, I die cut the panel using the Diagonal Stitched Rectangles die set. I went ahead and die cut two others panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock using the Diagonal Stitched Rectangles die set. I layered these panels one on top of the other for a crisp look.

The sentiment is from the Our Home To Yours Stamp Set and was stamped using Berrylicious ink on a piece of White Cardstock. I die cut it using the coordinating die set.  To finish, I scattered some white Jewels all over my panel. Lastly, I adhered the various card panels together to the white card base.

  60. Hi, there - I think you have shown in an excellent way how to get the most from a set of stamps. You've used the stamps of the village buildings three different times in three different ways. I love all three cards -- esp the first. Your talent is prodigious. I really appreciate your showing your very elevated talent to those of us who are good crafters but need ideas, encourage inspirational leaders to give us the spark to get started. Kudos to you!
