Pinkfresh Studios Create & Connect 2021, Day 1 continued

If you missed my introduction post and would like to see what this is all about, you can find it here. 

Today will be class 2 from day 1. Again, using products not yet available for purchase as these were all included in our event kits. Watch for these to be released during the next couple of Pinkfresh Studio product releases.

CLASS 2, watercolor

Day 1, Card 1 

Pinkfresh Cosmo Bunch stamp and die, Built on Dreams thank you sentiment stamp and die, watercolor paper, sparking champagne pearls. 

From my stash: watercolors, brushes, gold embossing powder, dark plum cardstock, foam tape.

This one comes with a disclaimer. I'm really awful at watercolor! Hahaha! But an attempt was made and I actually created a card for the class. My apologies to watercolor lovers everywhere. It's just not my medium and never will be. What else can I say. My card:

Class 2, Card 2

Pinkfresh Cosmo Bunch stamp, stencils, and die, Always Uplifting sentiment stamp set, mini slimline stitched scallop rectangle die, watercolor paper, sparking champagne pearls. 

From my stash: watercolors, brushes, liquid platinum embossing powder, dark plum cardstock, foam tape.

Heat embossed sentiment from the Always Uplifting stamp set.

I made a second card using the stencils rather than water color. I had to. Sort of as an apology I guess. Hahaha! Anyway, I don't remember all the ink colors I used for it but tried to find similar colors to the paint colors from the first card. I also used the mini slimline stitched scallop die and dark green cardstock for the border, and the sentiment is by Ellen Hutson popped up with foam tape. 

Cards 2 and 3 for Class 2.

Class 3, Card 1

Pinkfresh In the Meadow washi tape, stamps and die, Always Uplifting stamp set, mini slimline stitched scallop rectangle die, sparking champagne pearls. 

From my stash: White cardstock, tuxedo black ink, foam tape.

This washi tape from Pinkfresh is amazing. If you haven't experienced it yet, you really must. It comes in a roll 4 inches wide and the coordinating die cuts an entire panel at once. All of these pieces used here on this card were cut in one pass. Game changer!

Class 3, Card 2

Pinkfresh In the Meadow washi tape, stamps and die, Always Uplifting stamp set, blanket stitch slimline rectangles die set, lush vines hot foil plate, sparking champagne pearls. 

From my stash: White cardstock, tuxedo black ink, foam tape.

From the same one large pattern washi panel, we also made this card. Again, one pass with the die and you have enough gorgeous images for two cards! Sentiment from the Always Uplifting stamp set. See how the sentiment is cut from a separate piece of cardstock? I'm not kidding, I put that portion of the stamp on my misti UPSIDE DOWN and didn't notice till I stamped. Have  you ever done that?! This was a first time for me. Good thing it's a quick and easy fix. What a dork! Hahaha.

Class 3, Make n take

Pinkfresh In the Meadow stamps, stencils, and die, foiled sentiments die cut pkg., blanket stitch slimline rectangles die set, sparking champagne pearls. 

I don't have Pinkfresh inks, so I used the closest matches in my own stash.

MFT = My Favorite Things

TH = Tim Holtz Distress

HA = Hero Arts

From my stash: MFT lemon chiffon, HA butter bar, TH fossilized amber, MFT persimmon, TH shabby shutters, MFT sour apple, MFT factory green, TH hickory smoke, white cardstock, foam tape

In the Meadow stamp is the same design as the washi tape. In this version, we used the stamp and stencils with inks to show what a different look can be achieved using other colors. 

Day one in the books. This was amazing. I will surely be revisiting the class videos and using these designs again in my crafting. Hope you enjoyed my projects from day one, Pinkfresh Studios Create and Connect 2021. We have two classes left for day two coming soon!
