Twinkle & Tradition Release Blog Hop

Hello friends!

Are you ready for some Christmas inspiration? Today we're celebrating Pinkfresh Studio Twinkle and Tradition Release with absolutely outstanding products. These adorable, elegant and unique stamps, dies, Press Plates and coordinating stencils will help you to create the most fabulous cards!

Let's jump right in and see what I have created:

Meet the gorgeous Whispers of Poinsettia die and coordinating stencils.

I wanted to showcase this amazing product in a way you could see all its versatility so I decided to cut out the rectangular original design into two different shapes.

I started out these cards applying ink with the coordinating stencils using: Peony, Candy Apple, Clementine, Apricot, Fresh Pear, Olive, Eucalyptus and Sky Blue. I used a heavier hand with Candy Apple on one of these cards to intensify the centers of my poinsettias.

These are the steps to recreate these cards:

1. Once you've colored these poinsettias, cut them out with the coordinating dies and then cut them out again using the largest oval die from the Nested Elongated Ovals Blanket Stitched die. I have also cut out another layer of this poinsettia out of Glacier Glitter Cardstock.

2. Die cut another oval with the same die out of dark blue cardstock.

3. Adhere your colored poinsettias onto the glitter poinsettias layer offsetting them a bit and foam mount this piece onto your dark blue oval.

4. Apply Sky Blue onto an A2 panel and dry emboss it using the new Evergreen Sparkle Coverplate die.

5. Stamp the sentiment from the Shelf Edit- The magic of the season stamp set with Paradise and adhere some Clear with Gold Dust Gems.

The process to create my second project is very similar:

1. Once you've colored and cut out your poinsettias with the coordinating stencils and coordinating dies cut these poinsettias again using the largest die of the Dotted Fancy Frames die

2. Apply Peony onto an A2 panel and cut it out using again this large Dotted fancy frame and dry emboss this panel with the Interlaced Quatre foil Press plate. Then foam mount your poinsettias onto this pink panel.

3. Use again the new Interlaced Quatrefoil-Press Plate to dry emboss an A2 Dark blue cardstock and use it as your front panel.

4. Foam mount your poinsettias on top of this panel and adhere your sentiment. I used the Shelf Edit_The Magic of the Season-Press plate to add Matte Gold glimmer foil to my sentiment.

5. Lasty I added some splatters using gold watercolor pigments.
