Bliss

Bliss. I'd like to find some bliss right about now. Life is a bit crazy in my house at the moment. We have our beautiful new puppy keeping us on our toes and we are moving house next week, so the place is a bit of a disaster as boxes are being packed and stacked and such. I like my routine and I like things to be in their place. Nothing is routine right now and nothing is in it's place. LOL! But, alas, it will all iron out soon and I am looking forward to our bright, happy new apartment. It has WONDERFUL natural light. I think that is what I am most excited about! LIGHT!



I created this card using the awesome July embellishment kit from Pinkfresh Studio. Yup, it's awesome. I know I say that every month, but there is a reason for that! Seriously, though! I love the elements in this kit! It is one of my favorites for sure!

I used one of the fabulous dip dyed canvas tags along with the Bliss acrylic word made for PFS by Color Cast Designs. I am in LOVE with these acrylic words! The washi tape made a perfect border and the little cloud is from the stamp set, I simply colored it with Copics.




Pinkfresh Studio kindly sends me the kits as a member of their Design Team to showcase. To see more awesome stuff be sure to check out the Pinkfresh Designs blog and Instagram!

Have a Happy!

OMG! Congrats!

It is almost time for the Pinkfresh Studio July Embellishment kit to go live, but before we move to that one, I have a card I want to share using the awesome June kit that is still available! These letter stamps and the die that goes with them? Holy goodness, I am in love!

That washi tape. *sigh* For reals, though. I am so in love with hit. And the epoxy stickers are fabulous! I brushed the back of this one to make it not sticky and then added some string and foam tape behind it to pop it up.



Be sure to head on over to the Pinkfresh Studio blog to check out more inspiration!

Thank you to Pinkfresh Studio for providing the kits for my design team projects at no cost. All art and opinions in this post are my own.

SMILE! It's time for the Pinkfresh June Blog Hop!

Hello, and welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio June Embellishment Kit Release blog hop. You should be arriving to my blog from Christin's blog. If you are just finding the hop here on my blog and want to see some inspiration from my the entire design team, please start at the Pinkfresh Studio blog! I think you will enjoy this hop! This is a great kit and the team has done some really fun things with it!




I absolutely love these acetate pocket scrapbooking cards. And no, I don't really scrapbook, but they work SO well on cards! I created this card sort of like a shaker with not shakey bits. This allows the clear acetate card to have some space between it and the background, leaving room for light to get in there and just plain ol' make it look cool. 




CHECK OUT that awesome wood veneer?! Seriously. I am in love with it. And that washi tape has already become a go-to for me. It's fabulous! And lined. Yes, it is on a paper liner so the gold doesn't transfer to the back of the tape beneath it which is awesome. Basically, this kit rocks. For reals, though.

Thank you so much for hopping with us today, be sure to Like Pinkfresh Studio on Facebook and Instagram, and comment on the Pinkfresh blog {the june kit release post} for a chance to win the June kit! The winner will be announced 22 June 2015.

What's that? You want to actually SEE the whole kit? Oh, okay, well, here then. Why didn't you just say so?! *winnk* *wink*  

Ummm... yup. It's AWESOME. For reals. Like, tons. That die? Yes, it cuts out all of those letters in that alphabet stamp. And makes a cool tool to, oh, I don't know, create the perfect sized window for the card above! Yup. I totally used it for that. 

Your next stop on the hop is Jessy's blog. 

Head on over to the Pinkfresh Studio blog for the full hop list. 

Have a Happy, folks!

Let the Good Times Roll!

Did you see Friday's Pinkfresh Studio Blog Hop post? Be sure to check it out! First of all because I love that card and I want you to see it, but also because there is a giveaway you will want to win, so....yeah, there's that. *wink*

Today I have another Pinkfresh card to share with you here and on the Pinkfresh Studio blog! I used the same kit I used yesterday to create a totally different design that was so fun to pull together.



My favorite part? That shaker! I created it using packaging from the kit. I mean, for reals, you guys... I HAD to use that awesome vellum envie for something other than storage. I just sprinkled in some of the sequins from the kit and, there you have it! Insta-shaker! Woot!



I also super love these gorgeous layered tags in the kit! I may save one to just be a bookmark I love it so much! I chose to make this one both the sentiment and the focal point on my card. It's full of texture, but a great graphic design, as well. Basically, it's fabulous!

Be sure to check out the May Embellishment kit, you guys! It has awesome stamps designed by Winnie & Walter, a fantastic die designed by Spellbinders, super cute wood veneers, enamel shape and sentiment stickers, and more! You won't want to miss this one!

Have a Happy!

Happy Day!

I have a fun post up over on the Pinkfresh Studio blog today! I am showcasing two cards over there, but wanted to share one of them here on my blog for you.



For this fun card, I used a great little scene from a sheet of paper in the Up in the Clouds collection. I then added a sentiment using the super cute puffy alphabet stickers and  used one of the label tags, the stamps, and the wood beads from the kit to add even more.

Head on over to the Pinkfresh Studio Blog to check out the other card I created with this fabulous kit! Also... I have next months kit in my hands and I CANNOT WAIT to share it with you! Oh, my LOU, it is so much fun! I love it. Lots. For reals, though.

You are looking at the full embellishment kit for this month! HOLY FUN STUFF, Batman! That wood veneer...sigh, not to mention that super cute die with the coordinating stamps?! Yes, this one has LOTS to offer! Here is just one of the cards I created with this fabulous kit!



For my card, I used one of the little diamond transparency thingies (of COURSE that is what they are called) as a window. I simply traced the diamond, cut out a window, and then adhered the diamond so it would have some light/space behind it. I stamped the rest of the sentiment on either side and created an accent row with the pink wood beads.

Clean and Simple with Pinkfresh Studio

I am showcasing the March kit over on the Pinkfresh Studio blog today! I have two clean and simple cards over there. I actually loved this kit so much, I couldn't stop at two! One of these you will see over there, along with one that you will NOT see here!



For this one, I layered the dies (created by Spellbinders for Pinkfresh Studio) over the vellum label to create a new, fresh look. I love how this is so simple, but yet has so much interest.



This super fun card uses the feather puffy stickers. Wait. Let's go over that one more time. FEATHER. PUFFY. STICKERS. You guys, for REALS, I love them so much! I combined them with the green striped alphabet stickers for a super fun and super easy card! LOVE IT!

I will show you one here, but you are just gonna have to venture on over there to check out the other one! (I'm mean like that. HA!)



I used a patterned paper from the Up in the Clouds collection for the background and then used the rub-ons directly over the pattern for the sentiment. I absolutely LOVE that you can so seamlessly overlap rub-ons to create your own sentiment! For REALS, you guys!



I love all of the texture this brings, too! The canvas tag combined with the shiny gold flair is just so much fun! LOVE THAT!
