Our holiday release is always one of our largest, so I have lots of cards to share with you today!

First up - I always love when we release new washi tapes - and this new holiday one is simply stunning! There is also (of course) a coordinating stamp and stencil set. This washi set is the first in a new and more user friendly design. We now have the stamp and die split up into two different pieces. This makes it easier to fit it all in a standard stamping platform, as well as on standard cutting plates! The washi is still in one piece, but you simply can choose to cut it one piece at a time, or tape them both in place and cut together. So helpful! I paired the washi up with the new Festive Grid coverplate die (those tiny stars are SOOO cute!), as well as the fabulous new Holiday Greetings sentiments hot foil and die combo. A frame from Stitched Scallop Rectangles and a few Gold glitter drops finish this one off. Here are more photos of this finished card:

Next up - this elegant card in neutral tones!

For this one, I mostly featured the lovely Radiating Snowflake press plate, hot foiled in Aura foil. I created a frame using another of the Stitched Scallop Rectangles, and then used Nested Rectangles to create a layered window inside. I added some cream cardstock behind for subtle contrast, and finished off with another sentiment from the Holiday Greetings sentiments, and a few Clear gems with gold dust for sparkle. Here are more photos of this card:

And now we move from elegant straight to adorable!

This Holiday Bicycle set is SOOO cute and fun! I love the snowflake wheels! I also used the Radiating Snowflake stencil to add some interest to the background, the sentiment set again, but this time the stamp set, another of those Stitched Scallop Rectangles (but in white this time), and a bit of sparkly Stickles on some elements of the design - finished off with a few Glacier jewels. Here are more photos of this card:

Next up - shaker cards are always so perfect for the holidays I think!

This one features the new Festive Foliage Tree set - I used the press plate and green foil, then used some soft and slightly nontraditional colors. I created a window using Nested Arches, and filled it with sparkly star confetti, backed with coordinating green cardstock. The front panel also was dry embossed with the Festive Grid coverplate die for some texture. Another one of those fabulous sentiments, and a few coordinating clear drops finish this one off! Here are more photos:

And finally - wrapping up today with this two for one duo!

These cards feature the Poinsettia Frame product suite. I used the press plate to hot foil, and then foiled the reverse with the solid hot foil plate. That card came together super quickly - and has such an elegant feel to it! The original foil I used some soft nontraditional colors -  pinks for the flowers and berries, and then a mix of soft gray and tan for the leaves and background. I didn't use the coordinating dies on this one, just kept it as a panel. Added some gold splatter to both cards, and some coordinating Blush Clear Drops or Sparkle and Shine Ombre glitter drops to finish off. Main sentiments are from the same set I used on all of today's cards, and the secondary sentiments are from the Deck the Halls stamp set and Festive Foliage Tree stamp set. Here is a look at these final cards:

Pinkfresh Studio January 2024 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release

 Good morning! Today is the blog hop to celebrate Pinkfresh Studio's January 2023 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release! You aren't going to want to miss a stop along the way - TONS of inspiration and prizes up for grabs! YAY! You can find links to all of the new release items I used on today's cards at the bottom of this post! We are starting off 2024 with a great release - can't wait for you to see it all!

We also have a special freebie promo to celebrate the release! You can get the Folk Art Slimline Stencil set for FREE with any $30 or greater purchase, while supplies last! No code needed - it will automatically be added to qualifying orders. In case you want to see this stencil in action - HERE is a card I created with it for a YT live, so you can even check out the links to watch the card come together!

Additionally, we have a new weekly promo that just started today as well. Take 35% off Phrase Builder coordinating products using code PB35 - and these promotions can be combined as well! Yay!

All right - now that we've gotten past all the introductory information, how about we get to the cards with the new release! First up - this is one of my favorites from the new release! Both the card, and the sets I used to create it!

The new Heart of Gold set is so sweet and pretty - and was illustrated by one of our card design team members, Isha. I used fairly soft pastel tones to color the image, and then turned it into a shaker card! I used the Ornate Circle die to create the window, and backed it with aqua cardstock. Added a hot foiled frame from Nested Rectangles, using the reverse foiled image created with the Solid Hot Foil plate. I also tucked a few Iridescent Clear Drops in the centers of the flowers. Here are more photos of this first card:

Next up, I combined a new floral set with some older supplies!

The new Wildflower Bouquet set has some lovely stamped florals, and then some that are stenciled and have added die cut details! I die cut some extra of those ones just from gold foil cardstock without stenciling, to add some extra detail and fun to my bouquet. I used the stitched vase from Farm Fresh to tuck my bouquet into, then used Arch Backdrop for a window to place them in. I backed that with some Glacier glitter cardstock, then added a little edge panel at the bottom using one of the Classic Edgers dies. I also used one of the new Best Wishes cardstock stickers for part of the sentiment! Here are more photos of this card:

Next up, a mini slimline card!

The new Best Wishes set is the perfect size for an A2 card, but it also works great for a mini slimline! I hot foiled the image, and then colored in with the layering stencils, mixing and matching the ink colors easily with how they are spaced out. I used Dotted Scallops coverplate for the background, Mini Slimline Stitched Scallop Rectangles to frame it all up, then embellished with some Champagne Clear Drops. Here is a closer look at this card:

This next card features a fun new concept that we are introducing as part of this release!

This card features the new Stylized Florals, one of two new sets that feature a layering stencil for floral and greenery elements, then coordinating dies that add a stitched detail to the layers. The die can also be used alone with colored cardstock, which is a super fun option! This set layers together in two swag elements, unless you choose to keep the pieces separate to use differently. I put those elements around a circle created with Stitched Scallop Circle and Inverted Stitched Scallop Circle. Floral and Diamond coverplate die creates a bit of texture on the background, layered white on white. And the sentiment is created with a mix of the fun new Julieta Alpha dies (LOVE the scale of these alphas, so perfect for cardmaking!) - and another sentiment from Wildflower Bouquet. I also tucked in a few Leafy Branch pieces die cut from the same gold cardstock as the die cut letters for the sentiment. A few Iridescent clear drops finish this card off! Here are more images of this card:

And next, we have yet another mini slimline card!

For this card, I used the new Sending Love set. This is a beautiful swag, that has a single coordinating layering stencil - great for the budget and a way to test out layering stencils! I foiled it in Cobalt Blue foil, the colored in with coordinating blue for the leaves, and pretty pinks for the blooms. I stamped my secondary sentiment in the same ink as the blooms, and then added another secondary sentiment using the Julieta Alpha dies again. I used Floral Tiles coverplate die for the background, and Mini Slimline Frame die for the background, using Navy glitter cardstock for both the letters and the frame. I also did a touch of ink blending on the coverplate to draw all the colors together and make it feel more cohesive. A few Bubblegum jewels finish this card off! Here are a few more photos of this card:

And finally - ending on one full size slimline card!

This card features a bit of a different set than you are probably used to seeing from Pinkfresh! This set is called Get Well Soon, and has some adorable tea, honey, and lemon images. I used the Slim Braided Circles die to anchor all my images, then heat embossed them in gold, and colored with the coordinating layering stencils before die cutting with the coordinating one piece die. I arranged all the images, then used all 3 sentiments from the kit as well. I added a couple of ink blended hearts, die cut using Shaker Tag Book dies, and a few sparkly Glacier Jewels to finish this off! Here are some more photos of this final card I'm sharing today:
