Pinkfresh Studio “Whispering Views” Release Blog Hop

 



I am thrilled to be the guest this month for the Pinkfresh Studio "Whispering Views" Release!  The products are incredible, and you are going to love how unique and versatile they are!  

You will be arriving here from TaeEun Yoo's blog, but you can always check back at the Pinkfresh Studio Blog for the full list of participants.


The stencils allow you to create the background and also to color in the images!  I love that the sentiments can be die cut, too. The font is so beautiful!

My second card features such a fun new product suite...Sippable Scenes Stamps, Sippable Scenes Stencils, and Sippable Scenes Dies. I created the background with the first three stencils in the Coast Paradise Stencil set.

The stencils in this set can all be layered on a larger sheet of cardstock, and then you can die cut the images individually using either the can die OR the bottle die included in the set.  I chose to make two cans "clinking" together at the beach!  I can't think of a better way to celebrate a friend!

Leave a comment for a chance to win one of the amazing Giveaways that will be randomly-drawn from all of the comment entries at the Pinkfresh Studio Blog and the stops along the Blog Hop.

GIVEAWAYS:

-We will give away the full release on the Pinkfresh blog and YouTube channel.

Inspired By…Summer!

 Playing along with this week’s Inspired By Challenge…Summer!

The photo…


My card inspired by the beach theme and elements in the picture!


I used my Cricut Joy to cut the beach tote, then embossed it with Stampin Up’s “Fern” 3D embossing folder. Added The Greetery’s “BotaniCuts: Hibiscus,” a background made with Hero Arts’ “Ocean Waves Bold Prints,” and Papertrey Ink’s “Just Sentiments: Happy Hello” and “Tag Its: Mini.” I can’t wait to travel to the Jersey Shore later this month!

Thanks for stopping by!

Inspired by…Rain!

Playing along with this week’s Inspired by Challenge with the photo “Rain!” 


As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make a yellow chick with the new “Hey Honeycomb: Chick” die from The Greetery (and this Carta Bella paper)!


I also used the “Noted” dies, “Hey Honeycomb: Spring” sentiments, “Hey Honeycomb: Basics,” a little flower from one of their anniversary sets, and a sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s “Just Sentiments: Spring Blessings.” 


The honeycomb reveal delights every time..even if you are the one that made it 😂!


I cut a little acetate puddle with my Cricut Joy. I can’t stop looking at that cute 🐥!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Visit my IG page (at)kellyparkerschirmer to see more cards that I’ve made.

Inspired by…Cupcakes

Playing along with the Inspired By Challenge…this time with a sweet photo and theme…


Cupcakes! I kept the colors and theme, but changed to a birthday cake using The Greetery’s “Take the Cake” set…


I also used “BotaniCuts: Strawberries,” and the “Take the Cake: Banner die ” and “Take the Cake: Stand die ” along with “Frosted Frames” to cut the border. My cake is blending a bit too much into the background, haha, but when I remembered this paper, this idea popped into my head!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Pastel Celebration

Playing along with the As You See It Challenge with a recipe for a pastel celebration…


I made an Easy Pop Up Shadow Box card using a tutorial by Stamptastic Designs on YouTube!

This card collapses to fit in a standard A2 envelope. I used The Greetery’s Bunny Hop, BotsniCuts: Carrots, Springtime, and Drifring Hills. My sentiment is heat embossed in gold, and also a panel on the back with Happy Easter as my celebration. 

Used lots of die cuts including the bunny and circular window. I used one tiny bow on the big carrot! Such a fun challenge.

Inspired by …Spirals

For this week’s Inspired by Challenge… this sweet spiral of hearts! 

I cut several heart wreaths from different papers with my Cricut Joy to make a layered wreath.


I used the provided sketch, as well. I added a sentiment from The Greetery’s “Opposites Attract.” 


The background is made with the “Herringbone Parquet” die, also from The Greetery.  Such a fun photo this week!

Thanks for stopping by!
